Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 365: Cooperation in Preview Promotion
Lin Qingshan's previous life, as Chris Evans, known as Mr. Tao on the Chinese Internet, was already prepared. As a natural optimist, he did not feel nervous at all.

After all, "Edgewalker" is not his first movie. He has starred in many movies in his early years.

It’s a pity that in this parallel world, just like Lin Qingshan, those movies didn’t really make him famous.

Even though he played the Human Torch, one of the Fantastic Four in Marvel's superhero movie in his previous life, this hero who could manipulate fire, did not make him famous.

Just like Ben Affleck, who played Daredevil, didn't become popular, but became popular for playing Batman; and Deadpool, who played Green Lantern, didn't become popular, but became popular for playing Deadpool.

Mr. Tao became famous for playing Captain America in his previous life, but in this world... he came to play the role of David in "Edgewalker".

However, for him personally, it is obvious that the script of "Edgewalker", which is the ancestor of cyberpunk works in this world, attracts him more.

The script of a superhero movie like Captain America... compared with the script of Edge Walker, plus Edge Walker has the bonus of being directed by Nolan, it is obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference.

After all, in the eyes of many people, a superhero movie like Captain America is not the first superhero movie, so there is nothing special about it, except for the huge popularity of the character in the original work.

That's why Mr. Tao accepted the script of "Edge Walker" without hesitation in this parallel world.

After completing the filming of "EdgeWalker", he became more determined in his ideas.

The quality of the movie "EdgeWalker" is absolutely extremely high, and they are the ancestors of cyberpunk movies.

Just like "Terminator", Tao always feels that there is no reason why this movie wouldn't be popular.

Especially since the director is Chris Nolan, who shot "Inception" which swept the global box office and won numerous awards!
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Just based on Director Nuo's reputation, it is worthy of trust.

After completing the production of Edgewalker and then holding a movie preview in North America and receiving numerous positive reviews, Tao became more confident.

He felt that this trip to the Republic would not be too bad.

After all, the original author of "Edgewalker" was a Republican, which certainly gives it a half-home advantage.

"I heard from Director Nuo that the original author of this movie will also be here today. Let's go say hello to this original cartoonist then."

Mr. Tao confidently tried out the Chinese he had learned during this period, and practiced a little awkwardly, "Hello, I'm Chris Evans, the actor of David... a friend of the Republic, everyone... Hello, Mr. Qingshan, Yang Muyi!"

"Evan? Are you practicing how to greet the fans at Republic later?"

At this moment, Scarlett Johansson, the actress who played the heroine in the movie "Edgewalker", suddenly appeared and looked at Tao and said curiously.

Because there are two Chrises in the crew, one of them is of course Nolan, so everyone in the crew calls Nolan Chris, and Tao is distinguished by his abbreviation of the surname.

"Haha, yes, and I plan to say hello to the original cartoonist later."

Mr. Tao said with an optimistic look.

"Okay...but we'll be at the preview soon, so I don't think it will be a problem if you learn this on the spur of the moment."

Scarlett teased and said.

Both "David" and "Lucy" showed up, and immediately other well-known leading actors also showed up and began to join the discussion.

Half an hour passed.

"Guys, get ready to go."

Just then… Nolan appeared, clapping his hands and speaking to everyone.

"Ok."

Many of the leading actors and creators said there was no problem and prepared to head to the premiere venue together.

……

Preview screening venue.

"Teacher Qingshan, are you here early?"

Ayumi Ito, who had just arrived here, looked at Lin Qingshan and the other two who were holding drinks with some curiosity and asked.

She, Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang had just arrived here, but when they didn't see Lin Qingshan, they called Lin Qingshan.

As a result, Lin Qingshan directly let them into the preview.

Sure enough, as soon as I came in, I saw Lin Qingshan, Gu Qianli, and Akutami Yuta were all here. It seemed that the three of them had arrived here early.

Gu Qianli and Lin Qingshan are not so difficult to deal with, after all, their apartments are in the same building.

Originally, everyone wanted to meet up at Lin Qingshan's apartment and go together, but Lin Qingshan felt that it was unnecessary for everyone to turn back and meet up so early in the morning.

So just come here and meet up.

As a result, Akutami Yuta had already reunited with Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli early.

This...did Akutami Yuta also arrive early?

Or did the three of them make an agreement in advance?

"Haha, it didn't take long actually."

Lin Qingshan laughed it off but didn't say anything directly.

"By the way, these are for you."

He directly handed a bag of milk tea to Ito Ayumi and said, "Drink it while it's cold. It won't taste good after the ice melts."

Although there is nothing wrong with this sentence if you listen carefully, it still sounds weird...

However, Ayumi Ito and others were used to Lin Qingshan's unusual way of thinking, so they didn't think there was anything wrong.

This is probably the benefit of having a mental illness.

When you know that this person is mentally ill, you always feel that nothing he does is strange.

And just then...

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and countless media reporters with cameras and microphones began rushing to the road outside the preview.

This is……

At this time, Ayumi Ito and others saw a convoy appear, and then dozens of security personnel suddenly appeared and began to clear the roads and maintain order.

Then a group of formally dressed foreigners got off the bus.

"The crew director and actors are here!"

I don’t know who shouted this, but it just happens to explain why this scene appeared.

At this time, Lin Qingshan was rather curious as he looked at the leading cast who were surrounded by reporters, media, fans, onlookers and security personnel.

Mr. Tao, Black Widow, Dwayne Johnson... and Nolan, whom he had met once, they were all familiar faces.

As international superstars and world-famous directors, they were not the least bit intimidated by this terrifying scene. Instead, they faced the camera and the microphone with graceful smiles.

President Tao generously said to the camera and the crowd in slightly broken but still understandable Chinese, "The People's Republic of China, let's fight!"

This sentence also ignited the enthusiasm of the scene.

The crew of the movie "EdgeWalker" walked the red carpet again, and Nolan was no exception.

After all, he is in this world of fame and fortune. He does not become arrogant because of his talent and thinks he does not need to abide by the rules.

But after he finished the show, he quickly entered the venue and after a while of searching, he finally found Lin Qingshan.

"Hi, my friend." Nolan greeted Lin Qingshan enthusiastically and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. But my friend, you still look so young. I really envy you yellow people."

Compared to white people, the yellow race does have good genes that allow them to age relatively slowly.

Without any maintenance or heavy work, the aging of white people is almost visible to the naked eye after the age of 25.

But sometimes, the yellow people will look quite young even before the age of forty.

However, the reason why Lin Qingshan does not seem to have aged much, and even still looks very young and handsome, is because of the two appearance-related abilities of [I look ordinary (Platinum)] and [I am just a middle-aged man with an aging face (Platinum)].

"Hey, Director Nuo, I'm really looking forward to what your version of the movie "Edgewalker" will be like."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile, "Oh, you have to try your best to help me."

"Help you?"

Nolan felt a little strange, but he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Does that mean that the reason why Lin Qingshan said this is that he hopes the movie "Edge Walker" can be a big success, so that his other works can also be noticed?

Immediately he smiled and said, "My friend, it happens that I have something to tell you."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Lin Qingshan immediately asked curiously.

"It's like this, my partner WB Films does have a strong interest in your other works."

Nolan smiled and said, "If our cooperation this time goes well, I guess the next cooperation will not be far away. And my friend, WB Films is currently very interested in your comic work called Parasyte."

Lin Qingshan communicated seamlessly with Nolan in English, but Ito Ayumi and others around Lin Qingshan were a little confused.

Gu Qianli could actually understand what was said. After all, she had once considered studying abroad, so she took the TOEFL. She could still understand the English spoken by Amei.

But Ayumi Ito, Yuta Akutami, Shiqing Wu and Chunqiang Chen couldn't understand it at all.

Japanese people’s English… everyone understands it.

Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang's English is acceptable, but only in the written test. After all, they are not English majors, but just art majors.

So now they all look confused and awe-inspiring.

Mr. Aoyama... He is indeed a genius, his spoken English is amazing.

When thinking of Lin Qingshan's past resume, Wu Shiqing's three assistants certainly had no doubts. Instead, they admired Lin Qingshan very much.

"Parasyte?"

Lin Qingshan said curiously, "Uh, but I don't think Parasyte is suitable for a movie theme..."

First of all, "Parasyte" is too long. The Japanese film adaptation in its previous life was divided into two parts.

This still shortens the length of the article by a lot.

As a result, their movies... well, actually performed quite well in their home regions, but the global box office was obviously not very good.

In addition, the subject matter is not as famous as "Edgewalker", which is the ancestor of cyberpunk, which makes it very eye-catching.

Therefore, he was totally pessimistic about "Parasyte" being made into a movie.

"So WB Films plans to make it into a TV series, using the plot and setting of your Parasyte manga and creating an original new script."

Nolan smiled and said, "Man, I think this is a good decision. Although I will not participate in the creation of this TV series, I think this is a good thing for you."

"Forehead……"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head, but now the completion rate of the "Parasyte" series of tasks is extremely low, he suddenly felt...

It seems like a good idea.

After all, the influence of American TV series is huge. Maybe it can benefit the original works and cause the task progress bar to rise rapidly?

The most important thing is that the tasks assigned by System Lao Deng do not seem to be limited to his original works.

Just like copyright, once the name of his work is used, the task progress bar will increase.

This is the case with Cyberpunk 2077. Since it is an authentic adaptation of Edgewalker, praise for the game will also contribute to the progress bar of the Edgewalker series of quests.

"Well, now that you mention it, I really feel moved."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said.

"Haha, in that case, I'll go back and tell them. If everything goes well, someone will come to discuss it with you."

Nolan immediately said with a smile.

But at this moment...

"Director Nuo!"

A big guy suddenly appeared behind Nolan.

Lin Qingshan took a look and wondered, isn’t this Mr. Tao?

"Hey, Evans."

Nolan immediately smiled and said, "By the way, let me introduce you to the original author of our movie - Lin."

Having said that, President Tao's eyes lit up when he looked at Lin Qingshan, then he stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically, "Hello, I'm David's acting partner..."

"Chris Evans! Mr. Peach!"

Lin Qingshan, however, greeted him directly in English, laughing and saying, "I know you. Just speak to me in English. My English is pretty good."

The name "Mr. Tao" was a name used on the Chinese Internet in the previous life. There was no English name for it, so Lin Qingshan simply called Chris Evans "Mr. Tao".

Mr. Tao was very interested in the way he addressed himself and asked, "Mr. Tao, oh, this name is really interesting. Why do you call me that?"

"Haha, I don't know. I just couldn't help but call you that when I looked at your face, Chris."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

He just shouted that subconsciously. If you ask him to explain... Of course, that's not how he could explain it.

Although Tao Zong's personality should allow him to accept this title, it's still not very good...

At the same time, the leading actors of the "EdgeWalker" film crew also walked the red carpet show and came in one after another. These international superstars like Black Widow and Dwayne Johnson greeted Lin Qingshan one after another, exuding kindness in a very friendly manner.

This big-name star who was rarely seen in the previous life was now in such close contact with Lin Qingshan, and they were even talking and laughing.

All I can say is that this is how time travelers are. As long as they copy some works casually, they will be successful, and they will be able to meet many big shots who were out of reach and high up in their previous lives.

The key point is that Lin Qingshan didn't feel nervous at all about meeting the stars. Instead, he talked and joked with them in a very relaxed manner.

This is probably the advantage of mental patients.

Soon, the preview began. The leading actors, main creators, and even Lin Qingshan came on stage to interact with reporters, media, and domestic filmmakers to promote the film.

Lin Qingshan once again met the top filmmakers in the entertainment industry of the Republic, including Zhang Yimou, Feng Laopao, Jiang Mazi, Director Chen, the father of Arthur, and some other stars.

He didn't feel much discomfort, but just like in the previous anime promotion meeting, he cooperated to complete his task, and then returned to the audience seats to prepare to watch the movie with Gu Qianli and others.
