Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 376: Encountering the BE ending and evil creativity

At the same time, the day after "Purple Air Coming from the East" was completed, all the original posters of "Purple Air Coming from the East" were replaced in places like shopping malls, subways, and publicity buildings.

What came next... were the promotional pictures for Lin Qingshan’s new work “The Tao of Immortals”!
Zhou Wenwei went to work early in the morning yawning. Because of his commute, he had to reserve fifty minutes of commuting time.

During the morning rush hour in Shanghai, the subway is packed with people. Every day when Zhou Wenwei takes the subway, he sees people screaming, arguing, looking for their phones, losing their wallets, and fainting.

In this situation, all the ideas of "get off first before getting on" and "riding in a civilized manner" are forgotten in this extremely terrifying state.

But the subway has become the most convenient means of transportation to work. Even people like Zhou Wenwei who have bought cars will come to take the subway - because the subway will not be jammed.

If you drive to work by yourself, there are often many unexpected situations in Shanghai that cause traffic jams. The original commuting time may become more than an hour, or even two hours.

So after working in Shanghai for a while, Zhou Wenwei still chose to take the subway to work.

Many office workers in Shanghai make the same choice as Zhou Wenwei, so placing advertisements in the subway often has a good effect.

After Zhou Wenwei entered the subway station yawning, he noticed a series of posters on the advertising wall next to him.

A handsome young man in a red robe and a copper coin mask was holding a copper coin sword. His eyes were a little cold, and below them were written four big characters in vigorous cursive calligraphy - "Tao Guiyi Xian".

There are three small characters next to it, also written in strong cursive calligraphy - Written by Qingshan.

Looking at the unique painting style, Zhou Wenwei really found it pleasing to the eye. One can only say that as soon as he saw this style, he felt it was in line with the comic style of the Republic.

Even Zhou Wenwei felt that those comics with backgrounds similar to those in the ancient times of the Republic should be drawn in this style!

"A new work by Qingshan Laozei? It looks like it's worth looking forward to."

Zhou Wenwei immediately perked up and said excitedly.

At the same time, he also discovered that there was not only this comic poster with the words "Tao Weird Immortal" in the subway station.

There are several more pictures in front, and they all occupy the absolute publicity C position.

"Is Qingshan the old thief so prominent? The new work promotion directly took up such a large space in the subway?"

Zhou Wenwei was shocked and said with some curiosity.

Generally speaking, only when some popular comics are about to be completed, or when a certain volume of a super popular comic has ended, can they occupy more publicity resources in the Magic City subway in this parallel world for promotion.

Or when a popular comic is adapted into an animation, a lot of resources will be invested in promotion.

Some comics that are not very popular do not receive this kind of publicity even if they are finished.

For example, Lin Qingshan’s previous work, “Parasyte”, was completed but no publicity resources were invested in the subway.

"Edgewalker" and "Chainsaw Man" both enjoyed this treatment when they were finalized. No, "Chainsaw Man" received this publicity treatment when the first part was finalized.

But "Chainsaw Man" did not receive such treatment when it was first serialized.

Therefore, the publicity that "The Tao of Immortal" received before it began serialization was simply shocking.

But no matter what, Zhou Wenwei continued to look at the promotional posters curiously.

These promotional posters all feature ancient and lively cartoon characters occupying the main part of the screen.

It's just very strange. Looking at the style, it should be a worldview similar to the ancient world of immortal cultivation, but later on, a cute modern girl appeared, and also a modern boy wearing a mental illness suit.

At the same time, Zhou Wenwei also saw a promotional picture of a handsome scholar in white clothes and a promotional picture of a white-haired girl in ancient costume.

However, if the words "Dao Guiyi Xian" were not written on the same work, he would have thought that these characters were not from the same work.

But in the end, he saw the last promotional picture of "The Tao of Immortals", which was the promotional picture of Li Huowang from the twin worlds put together.

"Does this mean... two worlds? The modern world and the world of cultivation?"

Zhou Wenwei immediately stopped and speculated. Looking at the promotional picture of Brother Huozi wearing a hospital gown, he couldn't help but complain, "My goodness... Is this protagonist simply a mental patient? There are really few normal people among the protagonists of Qingshan Laozei..."

Just then, he suddenly felt a hit on his back.

Then I felt as if there was a figure in front of me about to fall.

"Eh!--"

Zhou Wenwei subconsciously supported the figure in front of him.

But at the same time, it seemed that the crowd behind them exerted force and pushed them against the poster wall.

"Hey hey!"

The figure grabbed Zhou Wenwei's arm tightly and finally managed to stabilize his body.

"Is it okay..."

Only then did Zhou Wenwei realize that the person holding his arm was a girl, and he let go of her hand awkwardly.

Ke Xinjie looked at her breakfast in her hand, which was squeezed out of sight and only half a cup of soy milk was left, and said, "My breakfast...ah, thank you so much, thank you so much for holding me up!"

Zhou Wenwei looked at the girl in front of him and felt a little absurd. Was this a scene from an idol drama that he had just happened to encounter?
However... under the crowded subway, I believe that the two parties involved do not have any ambiguous emotions, but only embarrassment. Because Zhou Wenwei found that there was some sticky sweet liquid on his body, which should be the half-spilled soy milk in Ke Xinjie's hand.

Ke Xinjie's hair was now extremely messy due to the panic just now. She felt that her current image was absolutely terrible, probably like a crazy woman with disheveled hair. The breakfast in her hand also looked like a ball of garbage.

"Ha ha……"

Both of them were a little embarrassed.

"As long as you're okay."

Zhou Wenwei said quickly.

Ke Xinjie didn't know what to say, but at this moment, she saw the promotional poster of "The Taoist Immortal" behind Zhou Wenwei.

"Huh? Aoyama-sensei's new work?"

She said subconsciously.

"Mr. Aoyama? As a fan of Mr. Aoyama, how can you call him so politely?"

Zhou Wenwei looked at Ke Xinjie with a strange expression and said.

"Uh... well, it seems like everyone calls the teacher a thief more often."

Ke Xinjie thought for a moment and said, "I sometimes call you teacher like that, but I still think it's better to call you teacher normally, although I also think that the comics drawn by Mr. Qingshan are a bit too ruthless..."

The two of them became somewhat familiar with each other unconsciously, and at least the awkwardness and embarrassment just now were alleviated a lot.

After all, once people talk about a topic they like, they will unconsciously change the subject.

"It's more than just heartless...it's simply a mental illness!"

Zhou Wenwei complained, "When I first watched Edgewalker, I was confused. The plots were really messed up!"

"Have you watched Kamen Rider Ryuki? It also ended last week. Can you guess how it ended?"

he said excitedly.

"Kamen Rider Ryuki" also aired its finale last week. Because Lin Qingshan was the chief screenwriter and the subsequent plot was indeed interesting, its popularity became quite high.

But compared to "Purple Air from the East", it's like the comparison between the Republic special effects film "Armor Hero" and "One Piece" in the past life...

This is definitely incomparable. As soon as the ending of this parallel world's "Purple Qi Coming from the East" was released, even the hot searches in the entertainment industry were all suppressed.

However, some people will still pay attention to the ending of "Kamen Rider Ryuki".

The finale was a complete kill-or-missing. Kamen Rider Tetsuhei's transformer Kitaoka Shuichi died of illness on the eve of the final battle. His assistant Yura Goro took his place in the duel with King Snake, but he lost and died in the battle.

As for Wang She, when he found out that the dead person was not Kitaoka Hideichi but Yura Goro, he rushed towards the police encirclement with an iron stick in extreme disappointment and was finally shot to death.

In the end, Akiyama Ren went to fight Odin, but was suppressed and beaten by Odin. If it weren't for Kanzaki Shirou's collapse, he would have defeated Odin and become the last knight.

But the result was that after defeating Odin, he went to the hospital with his girlfriend Huili, put on the ring, and died in the ward due to serious injuries...

If the final ending was not that after Shiro Kanzaki had a spiritual conversation with Yui, he chose to go back to the previous time, making the real world return to the starting point.

This finale is a complete BE for everyone...

However, everyone still thinks that the finale is that everyone died. The ending that followed was definitely not the one that Aoyama the old thief came up with. It must have been changed by Toei Company!

Toei Company stated that the finale was truly created by Lin Qingshan himself.

But no matter what, Kamen Rider fans are afraid of Lin Qingshan.

The old thief Qingshan went crazy and really killed all the characters!

However, although Kamen Rider fans said that this ending where everyone BEs is scary, it is also recognized by Kamen Rider fans. If the theme is a knight war, then the ending where everyone BEs and there is no winner may be the best ending.

When Toei Company saw the popularity and heat of "Kamen Rider Ryuki" suddenly turned around, they became active again and invited Lin Qingshan to be the main screenwriter of the next "Kamen Rider" very early.

However, Lin Qingshan refused, but he did not completely refuse the cooperation. Instead, he provided an inspiration to Toei.

That is……

"Masked Rider Amazons".

This is definitely a masterpiece in the Kamen Rider series.

"Kamen Rider Ryuki? The one written by Mr. Aoyama?"

Ke Xinjie was not very interested in "Kamen Rider", but when she heard Zhou Wenwei say this, she asked curiously.

"Yeah... I'm telling you..."

In this way, the two began to chat about Lin Qingshan's works while following the crowd to squeeze into the subway.
