Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 541: New Works by Everyone to Make Up for Regrets and Invitation to Create

After Ito Ayumi came in, she first teased Lin Yuning, and then talked about business with Lin Qingshan.

"Teacher, there should be no problem with the comic world."

She went on to say, "I have also completed the resignation procedures."

"That's great! Let's continue to work together!"

Lin Qingshan smiled and gave a thumbs up and said.

"Teacher, please tell Haruki, Yuta, and Seharu about this later."

Ito Ayumi smiled and said, "They have actually been waiting for a long time, just to wait for the teacher to finish and then jump to another job together."

As Lin Qingshan's former assistants, Chen Chunqiang, Wu Shiqing and Akutami Yuta have also been targeted to some extent.

For example, some comic awards should have gone to Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing, but were given to other cartoonists who were far less famous and less accomplished.

The publicity and promotion efforts have also been suppressed.

If it weren't for the fact that the comic-adapted animations of the three of them were all very successful on Station C, creating a large number of animation viewers, the performance of their comic works might have been suppressed.

So they were also a little annoyed, and three years ago, after learning that Station C had established its own emerging comics subsidiary and developed its own comics software.

They came over to talk to Lin Qingshan, and after learning that Lin Qingshan was sure to finish "The Tao of Strange Immortals", they switched to the C Station comics.

They also decided together that when they finished their own comic works, they would not start new works in the comics industry.

Instead, he will wait until he changes jobs with Lin Qingshan, which will also bring a huge wave of traffic promotion to C Station Comics.

Anyway, they have already achieved financial freedom, and now they need to consider more about whether they will have enough freedom for their next creation.

They really find it hard to accept the new model that the comics industry adopted after Benya took control, which greatly interfered with the creative freedom of cartoonists.

Under the new model of the comics industry, even veteran cartoonists will be greatly restricted in their creative thinking.

The comics industry also interferes with creative work in a very rough way. If a character is very popular, they will try their best to prevent the cartoonist from killing him or her.

If a villain is really annoying, he will be forced to die.

And the most annoying thing is that the comics industry has begun to insert positive characters with distinctive squid nationality into the works of some cartoonists for no reason.

Originally, this character might have been a Republic person, but he was changed to a squid in the comic book style ZZZQ.

So some characters look very strange. They are suddenly and awkwardly introduced as squid people, and are set as the greatest creation of the Lord, or the most valued believer, which has nothing to do with the overall setting of the work.

Even Wu Shiqing's "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" was asked to add such a character.

It is extremely abrupt. The setting is the ancient background of the Republic, and a squid man appears, and he is a loyal believer of the Holy Lord.

Wu Shiqing and others were also extremely disgusted, and with Lin Qingshan and C Station Comics as their back-up, they flatly rejected the comics industry's request.

So three months ago, "Jujutsu Kaisen" ended, half a year ago, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" ended, and a year and a half ago, "Re: Creator" ended.

All three of them chose to take a temporary "rest" for a while.

At the same time, Yang Shuzhun also completed "Jiuzhoulu" half a year ago.

This time, "Jiuzhoulu" ended with good reviews, and then Yang Shuzhun announced that he would "take a break".

In fact, they are all normally completed comics. "Jujutsu Kaisen" was serialized for six and a half years, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" was serialized for four years and three months, "Re: The Creator" was serialized for three years and five months, and "Kyushuroku" was serialized for a full four years.

But after taking such a long break after the ending, I have no intention of starting a new work...

One or two is not so bad, after all, some cartoonists just want financial freedom, and then take a break for several years before starting a new work, or even never start a new comic again.

For example, in his previous life, Mr. Crocodile became financially independent thanks to "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", but he never had any intention of working on a new work. There was no new movement for four years after the completion of the work.

But Wu Shiqing in this world had the idea of ​​a new work very early on, and influenced by Lin Qingshan's continuous completion of new works, she also had further ideas about comics.

After all, teachers are model workers in the industry, with countless works, and are even known as the uncrowned kings.

Wu Shiqing also wanted to go further.

In particular, the idea for her new work was inspired by Lin Qingshan. She plans to draw a group portrait comic about a fairy family.

It is like a grand epic of immortal heroes, which does not focus on the protagonist, but like "One Hundred Years of Solitude", paints a soul-stirring, fateful and eternal picture.

Such comics may enable her to become a top-notch and popular cartoonist like Lin Qingshan, Feng Yiyuan and Yang Shuzhun.

Yuta Akutami doesn't need any guidance at all, he has his own ideas for new works.

As for Chen Chunqiang... because he was in love with his comic assistant, he wanted to start a comic book about cartoonists' love lives.

As for Yang Shuzhun, Lin Qingshan didn't know what new work he would create, but given Mr. Yang Yangshu's talent, he should have already had an idea.

There is no doubt about Yang Shuzhun's creative ability. In his previous life, Mr. Yangyangshu was just a man who created new things.

But filling the hole is none of his business. He is first-rate at digging the hole, but his ability to fill it is not even as good as that of a third-rate person.

Moreover, Lin Qingshan and Yang Shuzhun were just friends, and he couldn't interfere with other people's ideas for new works.

As for Wu Shiqing, Lin Qingshan only gave some advice and suggestions, but did not interfere with her ideas.

The final decision to serialize the new work was made by Wu Shiqing himself.

"Okay, I'll tell you guys."

Lin Qingshan nodded and said, "Everyone should have some ideas."

"But teacher...are you really planning to go back and serialize Chainsaw Man?"

Ayumi Ito said curiously, "To be honest, I thought you would start a new work at Station C..."

“Let’s fill the hole first.”

Lin Qingshan laughed and said, "The most important thing is that Chainsaw Man already has a good reputation and a popular base."

The story of the second part of "Chainsaw Man", he has caught up to the latest episode through the ability of the parallel world. The plot is quite exciting. I can only say that he is worthy of being Mr. Fujimoto.

So when he switched to C Station Comics, he chose the second part of "Chainsaw Man", intending to attract traffic while not making people feel that he was relying on his past achievements.

Anyway, it was originally meant to be a temporary hiatus, not a direct conclusion.

The second part will not be a mere rip-off like the other sequels.

"That's right...I believe in the teacher too."

Ito Ayumi nodded, and she suddenly laughed again and said, "No, the teacher doesn't need my trust. The teacher already has many people who trust him."

"No, what I need is your trust, Ayumi."

Lin Qingshan gave a thumbs up and said, "Why don't you stay for dinner tonight? I'll also notify Chunqiang and the others to come over for dinner and talk about this matter."

"That's fine... no problem."

Ito Ayumi laughed, "Actually, I was waiting for you to say this, it's been a while since I've tasted your cooking."

"Then help me take care of Ningning."

Lin Qingshan immediately rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go out and buy some ingredients."

"Ah this..."

Ayumi Ito was helpless and said, "I am probably the 'Dehua' that everyone talks about on the Internet." Because Lin Qingshan and Benya had been at odds before, and Ayumi Ito clearly stood on Lin Qingshan's side, she was often ostracized in the comics world.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan directly asked Ito Ayumi to come and help... take care of the children.

As a result, Ayumi Ito seemed to have become the sister-in-law named "Dehua" in the hit TV series that people made fun of online.

On the Internet, "Dehua taking care of children" has become a self-deprecating name, referring to young people who go home on vacation or are already working, and who help their older brothers and sisters take care of children during the holidays or on weekdays.

And because of this, Lin Yuning is relatively close to Ito Ayumi.

Ito Ayumi also likes Lin Yuning very much, because Lin Yuning is well-behaved, sensible, smart, and in good health.

This is because Lin Qingshan used the ability of [Heavenly Official's Blessing (Secret)] to give his daughter abilities similar to [Son of Fortune (Secret)] that he had repeatedly drawn.

Therefore, Lin Yuning has been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, and has basically been healthy and free from disasters.

"That's it, Ningning, have some fun with Sister Ayumi."

Lin Qingshan laughed and said, "Dad will go buy some groceries and make you something delicious!"

"Dad! Ningning wants something delicious!"

Lin Yuning's cute big eyes immediately lit up, and she jumped up and down and said.

"Okay! Dad is out buying groceries!"

After Lin Qingshan finished giving the instructions, he drove to buy ingredients.

……

“Tut-tut-tut—”

Lin Qingshan hummed a ditty about death or injury, and got out of the car and returned to the villa with a bunch of fresh ingredients.

"Brother Lin, we are here to help you."

Seeing this, the security guards of Lin Qingshan's house hurried over to get the food.

Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli both disliked the security guards and nannies at home calling them master, young master, and boss, so Lin Qingshan simply asked the security guards to call them brother and sister.

Because most of the security guards are young and strong guys younger than them, and some of the nannies are older, they just let them call out their names.

"Hey! Thank you!"

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, your friend Yang Shuzhun just came and said he wanted to see you."

At this time, the security guard Xiao Chen who was holding the food spoke to Lin Qingshan again.

"Shuzhun? He's here? Ah... I don't think I've informed them yet..."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head. He planned to buy the ingredients and call people over for the party later.

However, Yang Shuzhun arrived early, so it should be...

It's not a dinner party, but you came here for other things?

Lin Qingshan immediately understood and went straight in. He saw that Yang Shuzhun was also taking care of the baby with Ito Ayumi.

"Book accurate!"

He immediately raised his hand high and greeted happily.

"Qingshan, you are finally back."

Yang Shuzhun also greeted with a smile.

"Yeah... Actually, I just planned to invite you to the party after I finished shopping for ingredients..."

Lin Qingshan stretched out his fingers and scratched his face, then asked curiously, "But you came early... Is there something going on?"

"Um……"

Yang Shuzhun smiled, then said seriously, "I heard that you are planning to go to C Station to serialize the second part of "Chainsaw Man". I actually want to go to C Station with you."

"Then you are welcome!"

Of course Lin Qingshan didn't feel strange or confused, and said with a smile.

"Actually...besides that, I have two more things."

However, Yang Shuzhun said again.

"What's the matter... Tell me."

Lin Qingshan continued with a smile.

"That is... Actually, my editor, Gu De'an..."

Yang Shuzhun said directly, "I also want to go to Station C with me. Can you arrange it?"

"As for this, as long as the comic world resigns, then of course there will be no problem."

Lin Qingshan's eyes lit up and he said, "We welcome talents. Editor-in-Chief Dahai is now the deputy editor-in-chief of our comic world. As long as they are capable, we will never treat them unfairly."

This experienced old comics editor has outstanding abilities.

Gudean is actually one of the original creators of "Protoss". He made an indispensable contribution to the initial success of "Protoss".

In fact, he was also keenly aware of the problems in the subsequent plot of "Protoss", but after Yang Shuzhun became a popular cartoonist, his creative freedom was improved, so he simply ignored Gudean's suggestions.

Then something really went wrong with "Protoss", its popularity plummeted, and the work was forced to be cut short.

Yang Shuzhun told Lin Qingshan about this matter, so Lin Qingshan was still impressed by Yang Shuzhun's editorship and agreed with him very much.

In addition, it is true that Yang Dahai also jumped to the emerging comic website of C Station early and served as the deputy editor-in-chief.

The position of editor-in-chief was mainly held by the person who had taken charge of the early days of C Station Comics, which was why Yang Dahai was not given the position.

But their treatment is not bad at all, at least it is better than being ostracized and sidelined in the comics industry.

Yang Dahai also likes the comic environment of Station C. At least Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli will not directly interfere with or make decisions about their work.

"That's good... I'll let my editor know when the time comes."

Yang Shuzhun smiled, and then continued, "As for the second thing, it is..."

"I plan to resume the serialization of "The Protoss" at Station C."

He said seriously, "I want to make up for my mistakes, and...are you willing to help me? Participate in the creation of the next script of "Protoss"...I need your help."

"Of course, I have already bought back the copyright of "Protoss", so there is no need to bother Station C."

Yang Shuzhun added, "And I know that Station C might prefer that my first work after the job change be a new one, but I still hope to make up for this regret in my heart..."

"can."

However, at this time, Lin Qingshan spoke directly. He smiled and said, "I will help you and the God Clan, Shu Zhun. I will make the God Clan have a good ending."
