I refuse to be a plagiarist

He forgot where he had heard it before, probably from an anti-war cartoonist in the Showa period, who said that his work was a kind of hungry art.

Why do you say that?

Perhaps only when there is oppression in real life can the creator himself create something interesting under such pressure.

Of course, this statement cannot withstand the speculation and interpretation of readers. After all, everyone is different, so pressure may not always bring positive effects to the person involved.

There are many people who never recover from oppression. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such educational poems as “Difficulties are like springs; the weaker you are, the stronger they are” in elementary school textbooks.

However, for Hasegawa Hide, this sudden increase in economic pressure is indeed an opportunity for him to return from a long period of slack and work harder.

The story of the third young master of the Xiao family is now gradually coming to an end. With Hasegawa's deliberate post-production, the repetitive plots that were originally easily criticized have been repaired to varying degrees.

Although the general direction still maintains the original flavor and it seems that there is no major difference, compared with the blind cycle of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, those "DLC" patches produced by brainstorming can always give people a sense of freshness.

In his opinion, this insignificant adjustment was enough.

The development of the "watch world" is so rapid. On the other hand, Teacher Bai Jie's is also flourishing due to the spread of countless gentlemen, and even attracted many book painters to send private messages, saying that they want to discuss cooperation.

This was the information he got from his editor sister, Akane Benizaka.

After all, compared to the out-of-reach situation in foreign countries, copyright is still taken very seriously in China.

To give the simplest example, there are endless pirated plastic figurines from foreign manufacturers, including Big A and N, but no domestic ones.

The reason is simple, the distance is short and it is very easy to do it.

This has not changed even in the world after traveling through time.

This is the case in China, let alone island countries whose rules and styles tend to be more Western?

If you encounter a copyright holder who is very serious about copyright issues, it will be very easy to use legal means to take a big bite of the violator.

So with a respectful attitude, Akane Akasaka immediately passed the message to Hasegawa, the "original author".

When faced with the other party's question, he just smiled indifferently and said that he could be more open and share the power with those who dare to create.

——Let’s give this opportunity to everyone for free.

Although purchasing a property requires a lot of money, he knows very well that it is not something that he needs to pay attention to.

On the contrary, the development process of some mobile games had already told him long ago that secondary creation can often be a means of feeding back to the main body, like a catalyst.

Whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, a win or a loss, it is definitely not a wise idea to draw a conclusion too early.

But as a price, he now had to find other ways to earn the funds to buy the property.

For example...open (pay tribute to) a new work.

“Ah, this is so difficult…”

He scratched his still very thick hair.

As his life became more comfortable, he found an opportunity to go to the barber shop to change his hairstyle. His previous neat short hair became a bit more "literary and artistic".

With his facial features that are already delicate yet tough, although he can't be compared to the four campus bullies who exude an aura from a distance, he is at least a tough young man who stands out in the crowd.

However, the change in appearance cannot solve the current problem. He wants to open a new pit, but there is a very important problem that bothers Hasegawa Hide.

That is - determining the subject matter.

Indeed, as an old bookworm who has been immersed in reading for many years, his mind is filled with countless classic works.

But as the saying goes, environment determines the market. Many works that can cause a sensation in China may not appear so outstanding in this island country due to the sense of immersion and cultural differences.

Take the story of the third son of the Xiao family, which was his stepping stone at the beginning. Although the plot, rhythm and twists of the story are very brilliant, and it can even be said to have created an era, compared with the market response that caused a sensation among primary and secondary school students across the country, the feedback at this time is undoubtedly much more mediocre.

On the contrary, a work called Sword Art Online, which was launched by a guy named Kawahara Reki and was also full of the Long Aotian style, caused quite a stir.

This is certainly related to the secondary dissemination of character illustrations and industrial chain works, but in Hasegawa Hide's own opinion, the reason for the difference is still the different sense of immersion brought about by the two story backgrounds and cultural differences.

Otherwise, he would have been able to solve his housing problem within a year with just this one work.

But Hasegawa Hide is not a person who only complains and regrets.

Now that things have come to this, it is more important to grow and improve after reflection rather than standing still........

Chapter 84: Occasionally an Innocent Dream

As we all know, although Hasegawa Hide is a hard-working guy, he also has some unresolved shortcomings in some aspects.

For example, Japanese Mandarin and history.

The former was fine. During his long life as a worker, he finally adapted to the basic usage by following the principle of "traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books".

But the latter...

In addition, the more he understands some of this country's abstract cultural ideas, the more he can appreciate the long history and profoundness of Chinese history and culture.

Therefore, it was simply impossible for Hasegawa to carry out a fundamental secondary adaptation at that time.

Therefore, the only options left for him seem to be to completely set the story background or to set it in a modern city.

[Completely fictional works are fine, there are plenty of works for you to choose from, but if the same type of works appear repeatedly, it may cause aesthetic fatigue...]

I pondered over and over in my mind.

Perhaps because I was too entangled, the night passed by quietly without me noticing.

[Oh shit, I have to put it off until tomorrow again. ]

Glancing at the wall clock that had already passed midnight, and then looking at the blank document page on the computer screen, Hasegawa reached out and knocked his head as if in punishment, then stood up and went to the bathroom to start washing up before going to bed.

Tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow is so much.

However, deciding on a direction in a short period of time is obviously not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time relying on impulse and a sense of urgency.

No.

Rather than saying that it is impossible to complete it within a certain time, it is better to say that there is no way to guarantee whether this hastily set direction can achieve the expected results when it is implemented later.

"Forget it, forget it......

We'll talk about it tomorrow."

He kicked his legs and fell on the bed like a dehydrated salted fish.

Accompanied by the sound of a switch being pressed, when he opened his eyes again, it was already early morning of the next day.

————————————

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I bought a small silver sports car with a loan and drove recklessly on the deserted streets at four in the morning..."

In the classroom, as classmate Jun Saegusa listened, Hasegawa, who looked a little depressed, recalled the vague fragments in his mind, trying to share the bizarre, dreamlike scenes with his friend in front of him.

Perhaps because he thought too much before going to bed, he had a very rare dream last night.

It wasn't some meeting with elder sister Seqin in a dream, and when he woke up in the morning he saw Jil's hard body unfolding. In that dream, Hasegawa Hide purchased a high-tech silver sports car with a loan. Not only was it very fast, but it also had the high-tech feature of being able to be folded up and carried around.

Hmm...it sounds a bit like a child's origami toy, but the sports car in the dream is so magical and interesting.

Because it was a dream, Hasegawa naturally couldn't remember the specific, realistic elements such as the configuration.

The only thing that can be remembered is that on that deserted street, he drove very briskly, as if releasing all the pressure accumulated in his heart.

“But the only strange thing was that when I was leaving my friend’s house and preparing to go back home, I had forgotten how to fold the sports car.

Ah...how tragic.

I bought a nice car with an installment loan, but it turned out to be just a disposable item or something.”

As Jun Saegusa tried hard to hold back his laughter, someone sighed softly, with a subtle melancholy on his listless face.

The feeling of preparing for a long time but suddenly failing in the end is like someone grabbing your heart but leaving just a little room to breathe.

“Sanzhi, I always feel that this is a bad premonition.

Do you think this could be the legendary 'bad omen'?"

"Hahaha...where is that?

Hasegawa-kun, you may be under a lot of pressure recently, so you are so worried."

Seeing Hasegawa Hide's rare "weak" side, after being surprised at first, Jun Saegusa casually comforted his friend:

“Sometimes, don’t think too much.

Although it is a good thing to make detailed plans in advance, sometimes none of us knows what the future will be like, right?

Instead of doing this, it is better to fight bravely. "

The slightly childish face is full of the youthful vigor and sunshine.

As Hasegawa Hide's closest partner in the new school year, while constantly taking the other as their goal and moving forward slowly, Sanzhi also walked out of his own path.

Courage and confidence have become his keynote.

However, everyone has his own color. Compared with Hasegawa, who likes to think carefully and make things develop in the direction he wants as much as possible, he is obviously more aggressive and full of "offensiveness".

To put it simply, he is a bit reckless, more like the red reckless form among the three forms of Ultraman Tiga.

This may be because the boy has just begun to turn inward and is eager to prove his growth.

But sometimes, this kind of fearless attitude may not be a bad thing.

Take Hasegawa's current situation as an example. Instead of hesitating and struggling, it would be better to just rush forward and shoot.

"By the way! Do you want to come to my house and play after school today?

Tell you.

When my sister came back yesterday, she gave me a super interesting thing! "

Seeing that Hasegawa Hide was still in a rather depressed state, his partner, Sanzhi, felt that he could not just sit there and do nothing, so his eyes lit up and he made a suggestion.

“Forget it, I have some things to deal with when I get home today, so let’s wait until the weekend.

Oh...it's so difficult!"

He shook his head, stretched out his arms and lay down on the limited space on the desk.

Seeing Hasegawa's expression as if he had burned out, Saegusa Jun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally he had to turn around and prepare the teaching materials and tutorial books for the next class.

Although he didn't know what was troubling the other party, since things had come to this point, he naturally couldn't say anything more.

However, Sanzhi Jun was not worried.

Because he knew that the classmate who sat in the seat behind him was not the type to keep trouble around for too long.

As for the other party's performance at this time...

[Is this the independence of the 'strong'? ]

[As expected... I am still far from that now. ]

Chapter 85: The shock of peers

Hasegawa naturally had no idea of ​​the imaginary plot in his friend's mind.

After returning home and preparing dinner in the evening, he sat quietly in front of the fluorescent display screen, thinking hard about the choice of subject matter for his new work.

"Ah - so annoying!"

He grabbed his hair frantically.

Looking at the still empty screen, he stood up from his chair, returned to the small wooden round table and started eating.

The grilled meat with soup and the snow-white rice are so delicious that you can’t stop eating them. On another small plate, there are small rapeseeds to prevent the rice from being too greasy.

The binge eating that was like venting his anger made Hasegawa temporarily forget the trouble of not being able to hold it in.

But after the brief joy, the unresolved problems still lie before him like stubborn stones.

[I can’t hold it anymore...]

He is the kind of person who doesn't like to leave trouble for later or procrastinate, so when he encounters such a situation, he will become particularly anxious.

Although he knew very well that this was not a problem that could be solved simply by being anxious or trying hard, while washing the dishes after dinner, Hasegawa Hide had already subconsciously begun to think about the troubles waiting for him to solve.

Quickly dial a phone number.

Instead of making wild guesses here, it is better to be direct and investigate the market demand yourself.
