"teacher."

The moment Akutami Yuta, who hadn't seen Lin Qingshan for a long time, saw him, he immediately ran over with joy and shouted enthusiastically.

But he saw Gu Qianli beside Lin Qingshan again, and hurriedly called out, "Miss Qianli."

He vaguely felt that Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli had a close relationship, although he also knew that they were not in a romantic relationship.

But I always feel that it's only a matter of time before the two of them get to that point.

So Gu Qianli can also be considered his...master's wife, right?

"Yuta, hi."

Gu Qianli also greeted Akutami Yuta with a smile.

But she was a little helpless. She had originally wanted to come here earlier with Lin Qingshan so that they could enjoy some time alone.

But... I didn't expect that Akutami Yuta had already arrived.

This made her a little discouraged.

But she couldn't just give Yuta Akutami such a bad look, so she could only feel helpless.

"Hey, Yuta, you're here so early?"

Lin Qingshan also said with some curiosity.

He also looked at the clock on his phone. That's right... there were still about two hours before the preview started.

He and Gu Qianli arrived early, but people like Ito Ayumi, Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang who had made an appointment with him probably haven't left yet.

At this moment, in the luxurious scene of the movie preview, the red carpets prepared all around came into view.

The half-open door emits warm light, giving people a strong sense of luxury.

The preview has not started yet, but the scene has already been arranged. However, many reporters and media around have only just arrived here.

This is also the reason why Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli came here early, especially Lin Qingshan. As the original author of "Edge Walker", although he does not mix in the so-called entertainment circle, reporters and media will definitely notice him.

Not wanting to be bothered by reporters, he followed Gu Qianli's advice and came here early.

As for Ito Ayumi, Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing, they lived in different places and Lin Qingshan really didn't want to cause them trouble.

So he didn't say he would come early, and Ito Ayumi, Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing came according to the originally agreed time.

But even if we arrived two hours in advance, we were still not as early as the staff here. It felt like they had started preparing last night.

Some particularly hardworking journalists do the same, hunkering down here at night.

Of course, most reporters are not that hardworking. Coming two hours early in the morning is already very diligent.

And although there aren’t many people here now, it can be seen that many important people will arrive in the future.

After all, the creators and leading actors of the movie "EdgeWalker" are all big stars.

Moreover, "EdgeWalker" has actually been screened in North America. So far, those who have participated in the preview of "EdgeWalker", whether they are the media or so-called professional filmmakers, have praised this comic-adapted movie.

The positive reviews reached 92%, with only some opposing media giving the opposite evaluation, thinking that the film was "full of visible boredom, and only the special effects could be slightly praised."

Or they could say, "The movie is full of slander against our free America, especially since the original author is from a republic across the ocean." This is a direct attack on the movie using Lin Qingshan as an excuse.

But looking at these opposite reviews, there is no clear negative review, which proves that the movie "Edgewalker" is really excellent.

This also led to the fact that the Republic attaches great importance to this excellent science fiction film recognized by the Chinese original work. The cinemas here not only gave it a high screening rate, but also continuously promoted it before its release.

Thanks to them, the number of people participating in the "Edge Walker" series of tasks on Lin Qingshan's system panel increased rapidly.

This is because many viewers became very curious about the movie "EdgeWalker" after seeing the promotion of it.

But the movie "EdgeWalker" hasn't been released yet, so let's first learn about the original "EdgeWalker" online.

Some went to Station C to read the so-called miscellaneous analysis of "EdgeWalker", while others went directly to watch the "EdgeWalker" animation. After all, the comics were too long and not convenient to watch.

But even so, the level of attention paid to "Edge Walker" has greatly increased, and Lin Qingshan's task progress bar has also risen rapidly.

He felt that even before the premiere, he might be able to complete the task of 100 million people and unlock the eighth stage rewards of the Born Talented series.

Speaking of which, this mission in the "The Talented" series is the strangest one. It was unlocked very quickly before the sixth stage, but it started to slow down completely by the seventh stage.

In fact, the main reason is that Lin Qingshan has been serializing "Parasyte" recently... What he doesn't know is that its influence is not as great as that of "Chainsaw Man", so the unlocking progress has become very slow.

But I believe that with the help of the movie "EdgeWalker", his next mission should be completed soon.

Now looking at the scale of the preview, Lin Qingshan feels that this wave is stable.

But he still wanted to see with his own eyes...what the movie "Edgewalker" directed by Nolan, which he had never seen, would be like.

Before the preview starts, he will have a chat with Akutami Yuta.

Akutami Yuta smiled and said to Lin Qingshan, "I don't have any work to do right now, so I plan to come here and wait for you teachers to come."

"Oh, it's not so early, but aren't you working on your comics now?"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "How is the creation going now?"

"I have basically completed most of the settings and the beginning of the story, and have started to try to draw the manuscript. I have to thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Akutami Yuta said with great gratitude.

"That's good. I hope to see you, Yuta, win the title of Rookie King in the comics world next year, hahahaha!"

Lin Qingshan said excitedly.

The excellence of "Jujutsu Kaisen" itself is absolutely beyond doubt.

This is even more true in Lin Qingshan's opinion. Is there any need to say more about the title of Rookie King in next year's Comic Newcomer Grand Prix?

That's definitely Akutami Yuta's!
"By the way, teacher... I actually dared to borrow the setting of your "Whirlpool" as a move for a character in my work..."

Akutami Yuta smiled again and said, "Will the teacher have any objection to this?"

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment. That's right! In the previous life of "Jujutsu Kaisen", Geto Suguru released thousands of cursed spirits during the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" incident, which held back the entire curse world including the High School, the Three Great Families, and the Ainu Curse Company. He then used the "vortex" formed by the remaining cursed spirits to fight against Yuta Otsutsukoshi.

It caused a lot of controversy at the time, and everyone was arguing whether this was a plagiarism by One-Eyed Cat Sensei or a tribute to Junji Ito's original work "Uzumaki".

After all, in his previous life, the One-Eyed Cat teacher had never been an assistant to Mr. Junji Ito.

But this parallel world is different. Lin Qingshan plagiarized the manga "Uzumaki" by Junji Ito, and Akutami Yuta happened to be his assistant.

Isn't this a proper tribute?

In this way…by then, no one will probably cause as much controversy as in the previous life.

Lin Qingshan really didn't expect that there could be something wrong with this.

He himself...of course he doesn't care at all!
This kind of setting itself is for reference and does not actually affect anything.

It is not that Jujutsu Kaisen borrowed the setting of Uzumaki to gain such popularity. The excellence of the plot and setting of Jujutsu Kaisen in the early part is beyond doubt, and it is not Uzumaki that brought it such popularity.

So this kind of reference is nothing at all.

Not to mention, in this parallel world, Akutami Yuta is his assistant and can be considered half a student.

Then there is no need to say more.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Yuta Akutami's proper tribute!
"No! Haha, actually I'm quite happy."

Lin Qingshan laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, and even if anyone doubts it, just tell me and I will tell everyone."

"Thank you teacher."

Akutami Yuta was not surprised at all, but he still said it with gratitude.

"Oh, it's no use talking here. Let's go first..."

Lin Qingshan was just about to say that he wanted to go in first. As the original author, he still had the right to enter early.

But just then...

His cell phone rang.

It was a strangely familiar phone call.

The note on it is - Director Nuo.

In fact, this was not the first time Nolan called him. As early as the night before, Nolan and the main creative team of "EdgeWalker" had already arrived in the Republic.

Yesterday, Nolan seemed to have asked the staff to help him get a phone card of the Republic, and he made a special call to chat with Lin Qingshan.

He actually admired Lin Qingshan very much, because in his opinion, anyone who could create a comic work like "Edgewalker"... was definitely a genius!
Moreover, Lin Qingshan has been very popular among Amei recently.

Lin Qingshan himself may not know it. After all, ever since Mann’s protest during the serialization of the “Edgewalker” comic book, there seems to be no movement from Amei.

In fact, movies like "Fist of Fire" and "Chainsaw Man" are quite popular in Amei.

After all, the names of the characters in "Flame Fist" sound like European and American people.

The demonic elements in "Chainsaw Man" are completely in line with the culture there.

Especially "Flame Fist", after all, the protagonist Agni has a European and American feel.

America claims to be a free country, but in fact they are very obviously malicious towards works with foreigners as the protagonists, especially Asian protagonists.

Most rednecks and white flags would stop watching a movie as soon as they saw that the main character was Asian.

Unless the Asian protagonist clearly has the attitude of liking their free Amy, and even rebels against their evil ancestors and the country they were born in.

That way they'll take a quick look.

In fact, the Republic also has some tendencies in this regard, but they have to be inappropriate. For example, if a European or American protagonist comes to practice Taoism or inherits the Kunlun Dragon Fist, everyone will be particularly repulsive.

But like in the original Western fantasy land, a European and American protagonist would not appear so abrupt and offensive.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan's works are considered to be quite popular among Amei.

It's just that there wasn't much trouble over there during the serialization of "Flame Fist" and "Chainsaw Man".

"Hi, Chris."

Lin Qingshan picked up the phone and greeted Director Nuo first using the Xinxiang Zhengbai Banner accent English granted by the system's [Official Language Interpretation Proficiency (Diamond)].

"Lin, have you arrived at the preview?"

Nolan asked on the other end of the phone, "I'm so looking forward to seeing you again."

"Eh? I suspect you're spying on me. Do you know I'm here?"

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

Nolan was suddenly speechless on the other end of the phone. He actually didn't know that Lin Qingshan had already arrived at the scene. He just casually expressed his expectation to see Lin Qingshan again.

the most important is……

At present, the quality of the movie "EdgeWalker" is very high. If it can really be a great success in word of mouth and box office after its release, then there is no doubt that Lin Qingshan has made a great contribution.

At the same time, WB Films will also begin to pay attention to Lin Qingshan's other works.

It’s just like in the past, when the entertainment industry adapted a certain author’s novel into a TV series and it became a huge success, they would keep an eye on that author’s other works and adapt them all into TV series.

The same is true for movies. Once an author's work is successfully adapted into a movie, his other works will most likely attract the attention of film companies.

Just like in the past, when heroic movies became popular, those film companies were eager to bring even an unpopular, unknown grassroots hero to the big screen.

Now WB Films has actually started to pay attention to Lin Qingshan’s other comic works, such as...

Lin Qingshan is currently serializing the comic "Parasyte".

I have to say, environmentalism, science fiction elements, and humanistic care...all of these combined are exactly what those old white leftists of the Zhengbai Banner want!
But Nolan didn't have much interest in "Parasyte".

Moreover, "Parasyte" is a bit long, so WB Films is planning to adapt it into an American TV series.

But the original work is not based on Amei's background, and they have other ideas. It would be better to make an extended work based on the original plot of the comics and the ending of the comics.

It’s called... "Parasyte: Gray Army"!
Currently, this project is only in the draft stage. The reason is naturally to see what the specific situation will be after the "Edgewalker" movie is officially released.

If it is really good, then the project can naturally be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

And Nolan, at the instruction of senior executives of WB Films, wanted to contact and have a chat with Lin Qingshan in advance during this period.

"I really didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Nolan immediately smiled and said, "Then let's talk more when we get there... Well, according to the schedule, I will be there in more than an hour, my friend."

"Then I look forward to your arrival."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

The two hung up the phone.

After finishing the phone call, Lin Qingshan looked at Gu Qianli and Akutami Yuta and said with a smile, "Let's go in first."

"it is good."

The three of them immediately entered the preview venue based on their VIP tickets.

　I've been a bit busy these days... the Dragon Boat Festival, and I also have to take care of my husband's grandmother, so the updates have been a bit slow. I'll probably resume updating faster after a few days when things get better. This chapter was rushed out, and the progress is indeed a bit slow.

　　In addition, my brother asked me about the situation of this book. Seeing that the performance of this book was much worse, he told me to omit some chapters and finish it.

　　I also know that the writing was poor later on, and that the problem was that the book I chose, "Parasyte", was not particularly good. But after he said that, I was also considering whether I should finish writing Daogui, that is, write EVA and Attack on Titan together, and finish the foreshadowing and fill in some holes, and then end it.

　　As for stories like "Berserk" and "Devilman"... well, I might omit them and write about them in the next book. What do you think?
