Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 382 Finalizing Cooperation
"This time you want the film and television rights to Parasyte, not to make a movie, but a TV series?!"

Yang Dahai obviously didn't expect this and said with some surprise.

“The setting and plot of the original Parasyte are indeed good, but we feel that it is too long and the plot is not suitable for us.”

Kevin first subtly praised the original work of "Parasyte", then smiled and expressed his ideas for this project.

The bloody parasitic setting and environmentalism theme of "Parasyte" are definitely in line with their European and American TV drama preferences.

It is not enough to just have the bloodiness to the extreme, there must be some gunfights, and the military must be dispatched to directly demonstrate Ame's powerful military capabilities, and then return to the environmental protection theme.

This suits their taste.

Lin Qingshan blinked his eyes. He was a little curious about how WB Films planned to adapt his "Parasyte" into a TV series.

He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Netflix seemed to have released a web drama called "Parasyte", but it was not filmed according to the original work, but a brand new work was adapted from its setting and original plot.

It's probably the same as a fan-made sequel.

However, that web drama was filmed in the Southern Dynasty in the previous life, and it is probably impossible to film a web drama in the Southern Dynasty in this parallel world.

Unlike Japan, the entire peninsula, including the southern region, has become a scenic area for the Republic's tourism and fishing industries, and the entertainment industry is basically not developed.

However, the idols there are discovered and brought to the Republic for training, because the idols there are really dedicated and have outstanding abilities.

Gold will shine wherever it is and will never be buried in any parallel world.

Just like Yang Shuzhun, even if he were to move to a parallel world where comics are the mainstream popular works, he could still become popular by drawing comics with his talent.

However, the entertainment industry has not been developed in the Southern Dynasty. But now that Lin Qingshan heard that another version of the American TV series "Parasyte" was going to be filmed, he couldn't help but become curious again.

"Have you come up with an idea for your adapted script? How exactly do you plan to adapt it?"

Lin Qingshan immediately asked Kevin curiously.

"Well... I understand, Mr. Aoyama. After all, I have heard a certain respected senior in your Republic say something."

Kevin immediately smiled and said, "Adaptation is not random editing, and parody is not nonsense...so we will not randomly adapt your work."

"Our idea is to push the timeline of your original work Parasyte back about five years. The parasitic beasts at this time are no longer the first generation of parasitic beasts. Instead, they are the second generation of parasitic beasts, which were born under the impetus of the earth."

"As a result, they continued to wreak havoc on Earth, and the U.S. government had no choice but to order the formation of a special armed force specifically targeting parasitic beasts, nicknamed the Grey."

"They don't distinguish between right and wrong, they are a special force that stands in the gray area to exterminate parasitic beasts just for the sake of human survival and position!"

"Of course, the ending of this TV series is to make humans realize that genocide is wrong. We cannot just exterminate parasitic beasts. Instead, we should find a way to reach a consensus with them and live in harmony on this beautiful earth."

When Lin Qingshan heard the name "Gray Force", he blinked.

He asked again with a strange look on his face, "Then the name of this play is..."

"Gray Troops. Parasyte: Gray Troops, that's the name."

The Mediterranean-haired man wearing glasses next to Kevin smiled and said, "To be honest, although the script is still in its infancy and has not been fully created, I can't wait to finish it."

"This is Joss Whedon, the director and producer who we have decided will be in charge of directing this time if the cooperation is successful."

Kevin immediately introduced him to Lin Qingshan and Yang Dahai, "He is also an excellent cartoonist. Perhaps he and Mr. Qingshan can have some topics to talk about."

Lin Qingshan blinked his eyes. His [Hard Disk Memory (Diamond)] allowed him to remember everything he had seen in his previous life.

Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse of an encyclopedia memory, he remembered it clearly.

And this Joss Whedon... according to the encyclopedia he searched from his memory, he is a pretty good director.

It’s just that in his previous life, he directed more commercial blockbusters, such as Avengers, which was his work. Later, he directed and produced Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It can be said that...he is also a famous director.

"Mr. Aoyama, I really like your works, especially science fiction works like Edgewalker and Parasyte."

Joss Whedon excitedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Lin Qingshan and said.

Out of politeness, Lin Qingshan shook hands with him in a friendly manner, but the handshake was only done halfway through the conversation. Isn't this not in line with the etiquette in your area?
"But it's a pity that Mr. Aoyama didn't continue to create science fiction comics. I think Mr. Aoyama's talent in creating science fiction comics is absolutely unmatched."

Joss Whedon said with some regret.

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "Oh...it depends on personal preference. I want to create whatever I like now, but I actually have some good ideas for science fiction works..."

"Oh? What about, for example?"

Joss Whedon's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

"In the more advanced interstellar era, a group of bounty hunters called Cowboy Bebop are active and adventurous among the stars."

Lin Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "There is also a story about a group of giant humanoid mechanical battle groups called "Apostles" that suddenly descended on Earth one day, similar to the story of the mecha."

He actually likes these two science fiction works very much, as well as a game he had played in his previous life - "Detroit: Become Human".

These three science fiction works are all quite good, and he has some ideas about them.

"This... sounds really cool!"

Joss Whedon's eyes lit up completely, and he said, "And I believe in Mr. Aoyama's talent. These two ideas will definitely be a wonderful story if they can be drawn into comics!"

"Well, I'm currently working on a comic, so I might have to wait until later to draw these two ideas into a comic."

Lin Qingshan said with some embarrassment.

The original novel of "Daoguiyixian" has 1,023 chapters. Now he has adapted it into a comic with about three chapters into one episode, which means it will take about 340 episodes to be completed.

This is something that will probably take five or six years of serialization to complete successfully.

But as long as he lives long enough, he will be able to draw all the interesting works from his previous life.

Lin Qingshan believed this so much that he would still be able to pick up a painting brush even when he was in his seventies or eighties!
"Cough cough..."

Just when Lin Qingshan and Joss Whedon were chatting happily, Yang Dahai and Kevin coughed at the same time. When they heard each other's cough, they looked at each other and laughed awkwardly.

"Ahem, how about we host a banquet for Mr. Qingshan tonight, and then you can talk to Mr. Qingshan slowly."

Kevin first smiled and said, "Now let's talk business first."

"Yes... Mr. Weiden, Mr. Aoyama, let's get back to business now."

Yang Dahai also said with a smile.

"Well then... I'm sorry..."

Lin Qingshan said with some embarrassment.

Then the cooperation negotiations between the two parties continued to return to normal. After both parties argued their reasons, put forward their own conditions and bargained for a while, the two parties finally reached a cooperation happily.

The American TV series filming project named "Parasyte: Gray Army" was also quickly announced through the official websites of both parties.

Immediately, it caused a wave of public opinion.

When everyone saw that Lin Qingshan, who created the original work of the hit movie of the same name "Edge Walker", had sold the film and television rights of another science fiction work, there was a burst of heated discussion.

This time it is Lin Qingshan’s original science fiction comic, plus WB Films, the two have once again joined forces. Even if it is an American TV series, it probably won’t be too bad.

Or in other words...this kind of American drama is definitely quite good to watch.

But in this situation, many audiences who are loyal to domestic science fiction films and TV dramas are very anxious and have asked domestic directors and production companies to find Lin Qingshan to cooperate in shooting a domestic science fiction film and TV masterpiece.

Lin Qingshan’s comic fans have a different attitude.

This time it was "Parasyte" that sold the film and television rights, although the quality of "Parasyte" has been well-received and the reputation is quite good.

But as fans, they would rather hope that other works can be adapted into film and television dramas and animations.

"It's great to adapt 'Flame Fist'. Is 'Flame Fist' good? I think it's great."

"The Flame Fist was adapted into a TV series... Guigui, you guys are really ruthless."

"After reading the manga "Flame Fist", I have no idea how to adapt it into a TV series. The plot makes people feel like they are on fire. Let's not talk about how much it would cost to make the special effects of the end of the ice age. Who can play Agni? Who can act out that kind of pain?"

"I think Tao Zong is pretty good ()"

After the movie "EdgeWalker" became a huge hit, Chris Evans, who played David, also became completely famous, and a nickname for him appeared on the Chinese Internet - Mr. Tao.

During this period of time, Mr. Tao felt that he had done everything right. Through the movie "EdgeWalker", he was directly promoted to a top superstar.

Unfortunately, although there is an Easter egg about the second sequel at the end of the movie "EdgeWalker", Nolan did not have this idea, but planned to tinker with a new work called "Interstellar" next.

However, Director No is not a director who completely dislikes making sequels.

However, it will probably take a long time for the second part of the Edgewalker movie to come out.

So Mr. Tao...turned around to shoot Captain America.

But speaking of "The Flaming Fist", if it really were to be made into a movie, the actor who plays Agni would need very strong acting skills to be able to portray the kind of person who is filled with deep hatred and agony.

It just so happens that David in "EdgeWalker" is actually a character with a lot of hatred and resentment, but David's suffering is not pure.

In fact, Agni is not completely in pain. His pain comes from his past happiness and his own conscience.

Luna and Ligada's words asking him to live, his feeling that he shouldn't seek revenge by any means necessary, and his own kindness and conscience made him feel conflicted and painful.

David was so miserable in the end because he had the responsibility to ensure the happiness of Lucy and Mann's team.

But no matter what, Agni is in so much pain!
Since the appearance of "Flame Fist", both new and old comic fans have unanimously agreed that Agni is the most miserable protagonist in all current comic works, or even one of the most miserable characters.

It's really difficult to play this role.

"Mr. Tao has been offered a lot of movies lately, and after playing David, it would be inappropriate for him to play Agni, right?"

"The main reason is that the plot of "Flame Fist" is really difficult to film... Even if there are film ratings in Amei, I feel like it can't be filmed."

"I think Chainsaw Man is more suitable. People in Europe and America believe in Christianity, and the setting of the devil fits their worldview very well."

"Chainsaw Man mainly involves the public security here..."

"Parasyte is also a story that takes place here. If Parasyte is OK, why can't Chainsaw Man be OK?"

"You seem to have made a mistake! Parasyte seems to have acquired the copyright and adapted it into a new script. The name of this American drama is Parasyte: Gray Army, so it should not be the story that takes place in the Republic like the original work."

"Then we can do the same with Chainsaw Man?! Adapt it into a story from North America!"

“Farewell… I think the main reason why Parasyte shines is the setting of Parasyte and the thought-provoking plot discussions in the comics. In fact, I think if the original Parasyte is maintained, maybe the story background in North America might still be worth looking forward to.

But... I still like every character in "Chainsaw Man", Himeno, Hayakawa Akira, Makima, Denji, Pava... These popular characters are the soul of "Chainsaw Man"! "

"Yes... But don't worry, Qingshan Laozei is becoming more and more famous, and his works will definitely be adapted for the screen one by one in the future. After all, apart from anything else, Qingshan Laozei's works are of really high quality!"

“Looking forward to it… But first I am looking forward to whether I can see the second part of “Chainsaw Man” in my lifetime…”

……

Amid the public uproar and heated discussions among comic fans, the latest episode of "Daoguiyixian" was quietly launched.

But no one expected that the latest episode of "The Taoist Immortal" would once again feature heavyweight plots and extremely impactful images!
This time, the fans have confirmed one thing——

The old thief Qingshan is definitely a mental patient, and his mental illness has not improved!
He is a lunatic!

Because the fans saw the title of this episode is...

Chapter Seven——Three flowers gather at the top of the head to become a semi-immortal!
