Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 23 This is a thought (Part )

After reading this Lin Qingshan answer, Zhou Wenwei was immediately shocked.

It must be said that this creative concept is full of profound meaning and unique in this era when hot-blooded teenagers are rampant.

And often everyone prefers this kind of works that are full of profound meaning and unique.

Especially for an adult reader like Zhou Wenwei, he is not a child. The comics, novels, movies, and animations he prefers must not be like children playing house, without any profound meaning and brainless and straightforward.

Moreover, it is difficult for a work that has no profound meaning and is brainless and straightforward to leave a deep impression on readers.

At least, in the period when ACG culture has been developing for a period of time, everyone is used to the old plot of a showdown between a hot-blooded young man and an evil villain.

Therefore, if a general comic has no deep meaning, but only has a passionate plot and a good setting, it will only make people lack interest.

On the contrary, it is what metaphors are contained in certain works, and what religious, realistic, and mythological colors are incorporated into them, which makes people even more interested.

It's like a well-known anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion" by Lin Qingshan in his previous life. Why is this anime so popular among thousands of people?
In addition to its excellent plot, a large part of the reason is that it incorporates some religious and philosophical overtones, and the conspiracy theories and religious discussions in it keep the popularity of this anime high.

There is also a Chinese comic "Super Beast Arms". Why is this old Chinese comic so praised in the future?

Isn't it because of the philosophical plot arrangement?
The protagonist and villain's lines full of philosophical meanings, as well as the reversal between the villain's power and the protagonist group arranged in the second part, are all things that people praise and pursue.

There is also the famous science fiction movie "Prometheus". Why this movie has the highest score among the Alien series of movies is because it incorporates profound issues such as religion, philosophy, human origins, and reflections on life.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan's creative concept involves how future technology will affect human society, humanistic concerns and concerns about society under capitalism, which is simply full of profound implications.

At least, when adult readers like Zhou Wenwei see this creative concept, they are full of interest in "Edge Walker".

Not only him, but after this text interview appeared, most adult readers were full of interest when they saw Lin Qingshan's answer.

There were even some passers-by who were not readers of "Edge Walker" before and readers of other comics. After seeing Lin Qingshan's answer, they began to be interested in "Edge Walker" and began to pay attention to this work.

"No wonder Force said that "Edgewalker" has a deep intention. It turns out that it is."

Zhou Wenwei said excitedly.

Then he came across the last text interview question.

"The last question, Mr. Qingshan, is also the one thing readers want to know the most. What is your idea for arranging the plot of the protagonist David's mother's unexpected death?"

"Ah, this is because the plot arrangement is like this. In the context of Night City, anyone's death can be sudden, and there is another reason for the death of David's mother, that is, she did not die in a car accident. , but died at the hands of scavengers.”

"Most of the scavengers in Night City are low-level and cruel scum. They are accustomed to attacking unsuspecting passers-by or gangsters, harvesting their cybernetic bodies and organs and selling them on the black market. In their eyes, human life is just a pile of Commodities put together that can be exchanged for money on the black market.”

"And patients like Gloria who can't pay much, they think it's the same. They dismantle the prosthetic body and sell it for money."

When Zhou Wenwei saw this answer, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

He never imagined that David's mother's death was not due to a gang fight or the trauma team's failure to save her.

Instead, he died at the hands of the seemingly harmless scavenger.

No wonder...no wonder the scavenger at the beginning of the comic said that David's mother was in good physical condition, but then she died suddenly.

It turned out that the scavenger later changed his mind and dismantled David's mother's prosthetic body and sold it for money, which led to David's mother's sudden death.

However, it was this plot arrangement that made Zhou Wenwei feel even more frightened and sad. If David knew that his mother died not in a car accident, but in his own hands, he would definitely be very painful and regretful.

At the same time, Zhou Wenwei also felt that Qingshan, the author of "Edge Walker", was a little...

unusual.

Not only the ideas and settings are wild and unconstrained, but the plot arrangement is also completely different from ordinary people.

This is completely different from the ideas of ordinary comic book authors.

"Maybe geniuses are like this."

Zhou Wenwei lamented, "The serialization of "Edge Walker" is really too slow. Can't it be serialized more?"

……

And the other side.

At this time, there was an office building among the high-rise buildings in the Magic City.

The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses put down the magazine in his hand with some hesitation, "It's a pretty good work, but why is it only serialized once every half month?"

On the computer screen in front of him, there is a penguin client, and his penguin name is "King of the Force".

He was the "King of the Force" who was chatting with Zhou Wenwei in the penguin group, and the comic magazine in his hand was "Comic World Gogo".

On his desk, there is not only one copy of "Comic World Gogo", but seven books, and without exception, they are all the serialized issues of "Edge Walker".

He really likes the settings in "Edge Walker", and the paintings in "Edge Walker" are also quite exquisite. The cyberpunk-style neon city, coupled with Lin Qingshan's kaleidoscope painting ability, is simply beautiful.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door of the office, "Mr. Liang."

"Come in." Liang Zhiyuan sat up slightly, cleared his throat with a cough, and then responded.

Yes, 29-year-old Liang Zhiyuan is the CEO of a company.

It's just that he relied more on his family's wealth to start the company, and he also started the company because of his own interests.

After all, he runs a game development company.

In this era, if those who do game development in China are not motivated by interest, who would do this?

To put it bluntly, Liang Zhiyuan is a rich second-generation son with great ambitions.

The office door was opened, and a young man in a suit walked in with a document.

"Director Li, what's the matter?"

Liang Zhiyuan quickly got into working mode.

As for "Edge Walker", he put it aside for the time being.
