A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

As the weather warmed up, the snow that had swept across Long Kingdom for several months stopped, and green vegetation began to sprout in spring.

Shen Zhengzhe got up early in the morning.

I didn’t go to work this weekend, so I got up early in the morning to exercise for half an hour, and then I went to the bookstore to buy the latest booklet of Full-time Hunter and the new issue of “Liu Li” from Liuli Publishing House, which were on sale the day before yesterday, but I didn’t have time to buy them because of work.

When I got home, I turned on the TV first, switched to Modu tv1, watched the rebroadcast of the latest episode of Slam Dunk and Didu tv1, and then went to Didu tv1 to watch the rebroadcast of the latest episode of Initial D. Zheng Zhe let out a long breath.

Satisfied, satisfied!
As a part-time worker, the weekend is really a redemption for him.

Not only can you get a short-term salvation from the heavy working days, but you can also make up for the replays of Sword Art Online, Initial D, Slam Dunk and other animations that you didn’t have time to watch on the weekends on weekends. Supplement the comics of Xia Yan's latest chapter of Sword Art Online's novel and Hunter x Hunter's latest chapter in the past week.

This feeling is like in one day, he has done all the things he wanted to do the most in a week.

"This is life!"

The easy-to-satisfy Shen Zhengzhe finished reading Xia Yan's works that he left behind in the past week while immersed in such emotions.

Then, throughout the afternoon, his emotions kept running high, because he and most of the Two-dimensional fans in Longguo knew that the steel refining animation, which had been serialized for more than a year, would end tonight.

Both Shanghai TV1 and Xiatang Animation have been promoting this for two weeks, and in order to end the plot in a row, so that the audience can get the best viewing experience, the last two episodes were broadcast on the same day.

It’s fine to watch the anime’s premiere, but today, all the experienced Two-dimensional fans in Longguo are almost in a gang to inform each other to support Xia Yan.

After all, Steel Refining has been aired up to now, and the quality is obvious to all. Although the plot is not as straightforward as Lelouch in terms of straightforwardness, the stamina after watching it and the thinking about the plot are not as good as it.

In the evening, the major fan groups were already lively.

"Here we come, the day has finally come."

"Now it's starting in the evening, and the older ones will arrive in an hour."

"I don't ask for anything, I just hope that the old thief will stop killing. Ganglian has killed many characters in this animation, and I don't want anyone to die."

"Actually, sometimes the protagonist's companions are stabbed and I feel uncomfortable. Even the protagonist's enemies, such as those from the Seven Deadly Sins, have died so badly that I can't help feeling miserable. Sigh."

"So this is the old thief's ability to describe the plot! There is nothing to say, it's over."

"To be honest, I still feel a little uncomfortable that the steel refining is over like this. I feel that there is still a lot of room for this work. Apart from the country where the protagonists are in, the world is still very big. Why not let the protagonists explore a bigger world? where?"

"That would be boring. The main point of this animation is that the two protagonists get their bodies back. If, as you said, they go from one country to another and then to the whole world. Wouldn't that be an upgrade to the anime? It's out of cliché."

"That's what I said, but I don't want it to end!"

"What are you afraid of, the steel refining is over, and the hunter animation will keep up. In the autumn market, there will be Pokémon animation, and then there will be slam dunk, and the third season animation of Sword Art Online will end this year, and there will be old thief next year. The three self-made animated films released, and in the second half of next year, there will be a live-action TV series broadcast by Old Thieves Initial D and Magical Girl Madoka. I can’t finish watching it, I can’t finish watching it at all.”

"It's true that the old thief is now making efforts in the fields of games, novels, animations, comics, TV dramas, and movies. It feels like his works are about to surround me. Although his new works are not many, the development of derivative copyrights for old works is actually very important. It's surprising enough."

"In fact, I'm quite emotional. The old thief is only under 24 years old, and he has created so many works! It's scary to think about how much can be produced just by developing derivative copyrights."

"Anyway, it's better this way. I'd rather follow the old thief's previous TV dramas and film adaptations, and I don't want the old thief to be as productive as before. We all know that kind of high productivity is not a normal situation. Time passes Long, it is fatal to exhaust the creative talents of the old thief, so the long flow of water is actually quite good."

"Well, in fact, I'm just worried that the old thief has gone downhill since the steel smelting. Although the old thief said such remarks when every work was finished, I have a strong feeling this time that it will be difficult for the old thief to create another A work that surpasses steel refining, perhaps tonight is the true peak of the old thief."

"Don't think about it so much, it's hard for me to imagine any animation that can surpass Steel Refining, but there is no need for the old thief to always surpass himself! A real master is always able to maintain a super high level, not every animation Works must surpass the achievements of the previous work. Even if the performance of the next work of Old Thieves is not as good as Steel Refining, as long as it can maintain a certain level, I don’t believe anyone will dare to say a bad word about him.”

"That's a good thing. Now the old thief is almost a myth in the two-dimensional world of the Dragon Kingdom, and almost all the sunspots have been purified."

"In short, it's all kinds of melancholy. After the steel refining is over, it feels like a friend has left our garden again."

Shen Zhengzhe has been immersed in Xia Yan fan group and steel refining forum since seven o'clock in the evening.

When it was close to eight o'clock, I turned on TV 1 of Shanghai Magic City. As expected, TV 1 of Shanghai Magic City was not used for advertisements during such a prime time period, but was used for animation promotion of Steel Refining at the end.

TV activities, programs, text message lottery and other routines are borrowed one by one, the purpose is to retain the audience.

Even during the broadcast of the animation, there are routines of scanning codes to win big gifts.

Both Xia Yan and Magic City TV1 are very serious about tonight.

The ratings record in the animation field of Dragon Country is held by Lelouch of Xia Yan, and tonight.
They want to break that record and push it above 7%.

If it succeeds, this will be the only animation in Dragon Kingdom with a rating of 7% for a single episode. If it goes well, in this era of decreasing teenagers and the rise of the Internet, it is impossible for anyone to break this record in the future. Maybe in the future It will be the only work of Longguo in the TV era with a single-episode rating of over 7%.
Over 200 people from Xiayan Company's steel refining production team were anxious in the lobby, anxiously waiting for the steel refining to start broadcasting.

Xia Yan and Tang Yin were chatting relaxedly in the office. Of course, from time to time, their eyes would be fixed on the screen projected in the office on TV1 of Shanghai Magic City.

soon, eight o'clock
The steel refining animation started.

Brand-new op screen, brand-new op song, Xia Yan spent a lot of money, and the song produced by a well-known musician in Longguo was the first and only time to appear in the steel refining animation.

Shen Zhengzhe concentrated his mind and looked at the new OP screen seriously.

After 2 minutes, he was still full of thoughts, and his attention was instantly attracted by the plot of steel refining.

The plot of steel refining in the past month basically revolved around the plot of Edward brothers, father and son and others fighting the villain in the bottle, as well as the national alchemist army fighting the strongest president among the androids.

In last week's plot, the president died, and the villain in the bottle was dying because of Edward's violent beating.

But the key point is that the audience doesn't care about the fate of the villain in the bottle at all.

In fact, Steel Refining can't be said to be flawless, at least for the villain in the final big boss bottle, it's not as good as the small bosses such as the Seven Deadly Sins in previous episodes.

Especially jealous of "Envi"'s interaction with Edward before his death, showing that he has always been jealous of humans
Greedy "Gullid", previously admitted that his long-cherished wish was to have a group of reliable partners
There is also the strongest man-made man, Angry Lars, an existence whose goal is unwavering from beginning to end, regardless of his own life or the life of the enemy.

The sense of oppression that this role brings to the audience is unparalleled.

Even many audiences once agreed with this character's point of view, and from his point of view, they didn't think there was a problem with him.

And the shaping of the villain in the bottle.
That's much worse.

First of all, there are relatively few scenes where it appears, and secondly, the foreshadowing for it is also average.

Just like Kaguya in the ending of Hokage, no matter how strong the author makes her, she cannot be at the same level as Madara and Obito.

Because of this, in the last episode, in order to defeat the villain in the bottle, Edward even sacrificed the soul of his younger brother, which was naturally not recognized by the audience.

And in this episode.
At the beginning, there is a scene where the villain in the bottle is violently beaten by Edward, and the power of the Philosopher's Stone in his body is out of control, causing his body to be distorted and out of human shape.

It was born behind the gate of order, and after being defeated by Edward, it was pulled before the gate by the gate of truth.

【Why!God, why are you dissatisfied with me! 】

The villain in the bottle yells at the door of truth.

And "God", the incarnation of truth, also turned into a little white man to talk to it.

This part of the plot is actually a bit abstract, but the whole work of Ganglian is quite abstract, and Shen Zhengzhe just continued to watch after being puzzled for 2 minutes.

The "God" of truth's criticism of the villain in this passage is also quite interesting.

【Obviously it was born from the hands of human beings, but it's just been obsessed with God!If you don't grow up yourself, can you surpass human beings if you give up the seven desires?don't make people laugh]

[I want to be a complete existence, I want to know everything in this world, what's wrong with wanting this? 】The villain in the bottle roared at God.

Echoing it is just the other person's smile
[So, give you despair! 】

The door of truth opened, and countless tentacles grabbed the villain in the bottle from inside.

The villain in a bottle, who has always regarded himself as a god, was finally sent into the door of truth by the incarnation of the real god, truth, universe, whole, and a collection of first-class concepts.

"Is this the end?" Shen Zhengzhe let out a long breath
But after that, there was endless confusion.

What about Alphonse?

Alphonse, did he die just to help Edward defeat such an ugly existence?

In fact, as far as Shen Zhengzhe himself is concerned, he also feels that the shaping of this villain in a bottle is not as oppressive as the big president, and he doesn't feel that kind of charm. He is just a simple egomaniac.

The steel refining ratings have risen steadily up to now, reaching around 6.7%.

Xia Yan also knew that the fight between the boss, the villain in a bottle, and the Edward Brothers was not very interesting, so the plot did not procrastinate, and soon came to the reality in the animation.

Edward won, but his expression was extremely sad, but he did not give up, and was still thinking about how to get his brother back from the door of truth.

then
At this moment, Edward, who had recovered his body, suddenly realized something.

Using wooden sticks, he drew a formation familiar to the audience on the ground.

The human body is formed into an array!
?

Seeing this, Shen Zhengzhe's eyes widened.

This is?

"The old thief is going to let Edward let himself go?"

Many Steel Refining fans tightened their hearts at this moment.

What you want to gain, you have to lose.

Since Edward wants to save his younger brother, he can only exchange it with an existence that is also a life.

so?

Edward is ready to sacrifice himself, and Alphonse is back?
Damn, what's the point of doing this?
We don't want to see Alphonse die, do we want to see Edward die?

Formed into a formation, Edward's body was engulfed, and then, Edward came to the gate of truth for the third time in this life.

There, too, the embodiment of truth awaits him.

【Are you here to take your brother away?How do you get back a whole person?Use your body? ] Truth mocks Edward.

Shen Zhengzhe and Longguo's group of steel smelters also had the same doubts.

Yes, what is the price?

Really want a life for a life?
【cost? 】 Edward smiled frankly.

One pointed to the door of truth engraved with complicated alchemy patterns on the back.

[The price, isn't it right here?The big thing is, my door of truth, how to use it is my freedom. 】

Edward's words made Shen Zhengzhe stunned for a moment and then...
It was as if something was bursting out of my head.

Yours, the door of truth?
In an instant, Shen Zhengzhe reviewed the plots of dozens of episodes before Ganglian, as well as the plots of Edward's three visits here.

Indeed, behind the door is the truth, so everyone thinks that the door of truth also belongs to the truth and belongs to God.

But
The truth is connected with everyone, but who says the door of this connection belongs to the truth?

This is a misunderstanding of logical thinking, the concept of darkness under the lights.

But it is this setting that has been serialized for dozens of episodes, and no one in the whole network has noticed it.

Then why didn't Edward use the door of truth in exchange for his brother and his body from the beginning?

Shen Zhengzhe understood after a little thought.

Because, the answer to this question, Edward did not know at first.

He came here three times, after more than ten years of alchemy research, fighting against artificial humans, he only understood the growing knowledge of alchemy
What does the door of truth mean to me.

【Yeah? 】The incarnation of truth, God smiled and looked at Edward.

[If you lose the door of truth, you will no longer be able to use alchemy.would you like? 】

Shen Zhengzhe's eyes widened, I'm sure, sure enough, this door of truth doesn't mean that you don't want it if you don't want it.

Fullmetal Alchemist loses alchemy ability. This.
Shen Zhengzhe took a deep breath, although it made him quite uncomfortable, but compared to knowing Alphonse, this price is already considered light.

[Would you like to become an ordinary person who cannot use an alchemist? 】

[I was just an ordinary person from the beginning, and I couldn't even save a little girl who turned into a synthetic beast. 】

The bgm of the background music progressed layer by layer, and Shen Zhengzhe's inner emotions kept rising.

Edward clasped his hands together, using alchemy for the last time.

Refining your own door of truth with your own hands.

Truth, the connection with him disappears.

The incarnation of truth also laughed heartily.

It disappeared, and in return, Alphonse's weak and haggard body reappeared in front of Edward.

Not the Alphonse who had always appeared in a steel body.

She is a handsome, gentle girl.

When Shen Zhengzhe saw this, his eyes became moist.

This.
Is this the grown-up Alphonse?

The mistakes made by the two brothers when they were young, finally, after more than ten years of alchemy achievements made by Edward.
Make up back.

Really
A long journey.

In the year Shen Zhengzhe followed the animation, it was the ten years of the Edward brothers in the animation
Although the plot of recovering the body is a bit abrupt, but if you think about it carefully, the foreshadowing appeared in the previous plot, but everyone didn't go into it.

After that, the death of the Edward brothers' father Hohenheim in front of the grave of the two brothers' mother also earned Shen Zhengzhe a wave of tears.

Because it is two consecutive episodes, in the last episode, the fate of each character in the work is arranged, and there is also an introduction.

After recovering, Alphonse is exercising with his own body.

Lin and other Xin Guo people went back to their respective homes.

Of course, what made Shen Zhengzhe cry the most was
When the two brothers Edward and Alphonse appeared in front of the heroine Wendy in the appearance of normal people.

The light and shadow spanning more than ten years, the scene of the three playing when they were young, the back view of the two brothers burning the house and leaving in order to retrieve their bodies, and the scene of the two brothers appearing in front of Wendy at this moment intact
The sense of fate and epic came out all at once.

"This episode, it's done really well." Shen Zhengzhe could see the tears.

There is no depression, no abuse, just a simple daily routine of literature and drama, but he sees tears in his eyes.

This is the kind of life that the two brothers are looking for all their lives
And
At the end of this episode, he lost alchemy, but in order to seek more knowledge, he embarked on a train bound for a foreign country.

Turning around before getting in the car, the confession words spoken to Wendy.

[Equivalent exchange, I will give you half of my life. Give me half of your life! 】

[Half of what you say. Give you all! 】

Facing this sudden confession, Wendy responded subconsciously.

[Lessons without pain are meaningless, because one cannot gain anything without sacrificing anything, but when one endures this pain and overcomes it, one can gain a strong heart that does not lose anything, a heart like steel ! 】

The new op song suddenly sounded.

The moment the three big characters appeared after finishing the composition, tears filled Shen Zhengzhe's eyes, and he couldn't stop it at all.

This animation, the touch brought to him by serialization for more than a year came to his heart together, as well as the confession of Edward who came from the gods at the end.

Fullmetal Alchemist is not talking about the steel prosthesis in Edward's hand.

It refers to the mind after victory over sacrifice and pain.
After wiping his nose with a tissue, Shen Zhengzhe took a sip of Coke.

"The old thief is too provocative! The 2-minute plot has moved me so much."

"However. Steeling this animation, I'll blow it up!"

There is no unfinished end, and the work has even been sublimated to a certain extent.

The effect of these two consecutive episodes made Shen Zhengzhe clap his hands.

Although the villain in the big boss bottle is really not high quality, but enough
That's the end of this animation, it's true.

The conception and depth of the work are full, and even the emotional drama between Wendy and Edward, which is rarely involved in this work, has been completed.

It can't be called the plot of Qi Jiahuan, but at least, it can be called the ending.

At this moment, animation fans all over Long Kingdom woke up in a trance, and then started their actions.

First rate this episode of Ganglian on the Jiuxiao Forum, and then use your own fingers to cover the sky and cover the sky and cover all aspects, and give Ganglian the highest praise on forums, fan groups, websites, and search engines.

When Lelouch became the number one animation in the history of Dragon Kingdom, some so-called industry experts said that the plot of Lelouch's war was too child's play, which is really a cool work by Long Aotian.

But what about steel refining?

Politics, military, combat, literary drama, martial arts, villains, the protagonist's camp, which aspect is poorly portrayed?
And it made the novice audience interested in watching it, and the old audience even called it a masterpiece.

In this world, besides steel refining, which work can do it?
And for a work, the most difficult thing is the ending, but Steel Refining is still sublimating on this basis.

At this moment, on the major websites of Longguo, those who watched animations or not, all found the communities they liked to visit, and they were strongly occupied by topics related to Fullmetal Alchemist.

This scene was even more exaggerated than when Lelouch finished.
