Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 463: Masterpiece Evaluation
"Fate Zero" has ended, but Lin Shengjie, who secretly finished watching the show that night as usual, still felt a little unsatisfied.

At first, he watched this anime just for the gimmick of the duel between heroes and the character of Zhao Yun in it.

Of course, the main author of this series is Aoyama Laozei.

Anything produced by Qingshan must be of high quality.

"Fate Zero" did not disappoint and fully demonstrated this point.

But in fact, comic fans were prepared in advance, because Lin Qingshan’s several original dramas are actually just good works, not masterpieces.

Compared to his comic works, his previous works "Akame ga Kill" and "Mato Ghoul" are obviously inferior.

Comic fans speculate that this is probably because Lin Qingshan has more time to conceive comics, so the scripts for the series are usually finalized in a very short time.

That’s why the show isn’t exciting enough.

But I didn’t expect that “Fate Zero” would be completely different.

“A masterpiece…”

Lin Shengjie couldn't help but say at this time.

He even started to check the comment section. Most people who watched the finale of "Fate Zero" immediately posted comments on the comment tool.

"Nothing to say, this is an absolute masterpiece! The best anime I've watched in the past two years!"

"It's too sharp! The kid was dumbfounded when he saw it late at night."

"Kiritsugu is eager to redeem others, and he is also eager to be redeemed. He really has... a very charming personality, but he is also very miserable."

"It's really ironic that no one is the winner in this Holy Grail War. Even Kiritsugu, who participated in the Holy Grail War with the dream of world peace, was defeated by reality in the end."

"What? No one is a winner? Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei have something to say."

"In this case, Kotomine Kirei is more like the protagonist. Although he didn't get the Holy Grail, he won a lot. In the end, he was even resurrected."

“Kiritsugu! In the end, for the sake of world peace, he was willing to wake up from the illusion and directly order the destruction of the Holy Grail! He is worthy of being a partner of justice!”

“The anime “Fate Zero” tells us that a person’s life is like chasing an illusion.

Kariya longs for happiness, Tokiomi longs to reach the root, Kayneth hopes to maintain the honor of his family, Waver wants to prove himself, Saber wants to save the destroyed Kingdom of Camelot, and Kiritsugu wants eternal peace in the world...

These are just fantasies. The more you chase them, the more you end up with nothing.”

“No, I think that even though Kiritsugu failed to achieve true world peace, he destroyed the Holy Grail for the sake of the world and all mankind, which can be regarded as saving humanity.

He is worthy of the title of a partner of justice, and he is also a real man!"

"He even lost everything and couldn't even see his own daughter... Alas."

“The Einzberns are such beasts. I looked at the profile of Angra Mainyu, and it said that the Einzberns illegally summoned Angra Mainyu as the tenth Servant ‘Avenger’, which led to the contamination of the Holy Grail.

This is definitely the evil consequence that the Einzbern family has sown themselves!"

"You're wrong! This is all Tokiomi's fault!"

"Wrong again! This is all the fault of that old thief Qingshan!"

"That's right hhhhh, if Aoyama the old thief hadn't been the chief screenwriter, Kiritsugu wouldn't have been so miserable."

"In my eyes, Fate Zero is definitely a masterpiece. I can only say that Aoyama is really amazing. His works are so good."

"I'm curious about what the next original TV series of Aoyama Laozei will be. If it's really Laozei's work, it must be a masterpiece. I can't wait to see the next new series."

"Found it... The next two new anime promoted by Station C that have Aoyama's name on them are... "Fate Stay Night" and "Neon Genesis Evangelion"!"

"Fate Stay Night? Could this be..."

"That's right! It's the sequel to Fate Zero, but it seems the protagonist has changed from Kiritsugu to Kiritsugu's adopted son Shirou! It seems to be the story of the Fifth Holy Grail War, and the protagonists seem to be Kiritsugu's son, Tokiomi's daughter, Kariya's nephew, and... Illya!"

"A sequel? We can't help but look forward to it."

"Oh shit! I found out there's another one, also from the Fate series, and it's been updated right now!"

"What? Which anime? Can you give me a portal?"

"This place is called... "Fate Grand Order"!"

……

That’s right, simultaneously with the finale of “Fate Zero”, the animation series “Fate Grand Order”, which serves as a promotional PV for the game of the same name, was also launched.

Soon after, the promotion of "Fate Grand Order" was all over Station C.

At the same time, along with the promotion of "Fate Stay Night", Station C will use this game as its main promotion next.

The effect is also very obvious, with the opening of "Fate Zero".

Many viewers are very interested in the game "Fate Grand Order".

Moreover, the gameplay of cyber fighting historical crickets is quite interesting.

For a time, a large number of viewers pre-downloaded "Fate Grand Order".

Of course, the next step is to find ways to convert these viewers into players and keep them as much as possible.

This naturally depends on the playability and balance mechanism of the game.

Lin Qingshan actually opened up the copyrights related to the Fate series, just like he did with Type-Moon in his previous life, to attract more creators to improve and develop the Fate series IP.

He will have nothing to do with the Fate series next, at most he will work on the HF line.

After all, in his impression, there are no other good derivative works in the Fate series.

Why not let the creators of this parallel world play freely?

Now he is working very hard on his first anime series "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" which he produced under the pseudonym Urobuchi Nobuyuki.

In an extremely simple office in an office building.

However, everyone at SHAFT Animation Production Company looked at Lin Qingshan in surprise.

"Is this the magical girl work that you mentioned, that promotes love and peace?"

Fang Zhaozhi's mouth twitched slightly. He held the script he had just obtained in his hand and asked in amazement.

"Yes, that's it!"

Lin Qingshan said confidently, "In the end, Yuan Shen used his power to maintain the balance of the universe, allowing all life to have peace and happiness. Isn't this promoting love and peace?"

"Isn't this the ending..."

Fang Zhaozhi resisted the urge to complain and said, "Isn't the origin and truth of this magical girl a little too dark?"

“It’s a bit dark, but I think it’s okay. It’s much better than Edgewalker and The Strange Dao.”

Lin Qingshan thought about it, and then said, "But these settings are also very novel! They are completely different from the previous magical girls!"

"But teacher, have you considered that this is a work for children..."

Fang Zhaozhi said somewhat weakly, "Will the girls feel good when they see this work?"

"I didn't say it was a work for children..."

However, Lin Qingshan said weakly, "From the beginning to the end, I never said that this is a work for children!"

“Ah?!” Everyone present blinked, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were filled with disbelief.

Fang Zhaozhi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously, it seemed... Lin Qingshan really hadn't said that they were going to make a work for children.

But when they first heard that it was a magical girl theme, they subconsciously thought of a work for children.

So after reading the script created by Lin Qingshan, they all looked like they had seen a ghost.

This time, Lin Qingshan plans to just make a script and set the images of several main characters, and leave everything else to Fang Zhaozhi and his company.

But after Fang Zhaozhi and the others finished watching it, they really didn’t feel that this was an animation for children!

That's why this happened.

"But... Magical Girls! Speaking of magical girls, everyone will only think of works for children..."

Fang Zhaozhi said weakly again, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

"No! This is a wonderful work!"

Lin Qingshan stepped forward and patted Fang Zhaozhi's shoulder condescendingly, saying, "Don't worry, there aren't many bloody scenes. I'm not responsible for the original drawings, so you can just follow the instructions. But... as for the scene where the senior sister turns around, forget it, I'll help with the production when the time comes."

Fang Zhaozhi opened his mouth, but finally sighed and said, "Okay then."

What can he do? He has signed a contract with Station C!

If he violates the contract, the penalty can make him bankrupt.

And although Lin Qingshan's "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is a bit "strange", it is not that scary.

At least compared to "Edgewalker" and "Chainsaw Man", there should be fewer bloody scenes.

But...if little girls who like magical girls really see this, they will probably be quite scared...

But Fang Zhaozhi had no choice. This was not something that went against his principles, so he could only do it.

……

August ends and we enter September.

In this way, "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is being produced in an orderly manner.

At the same time, a week later, the game "Fate Grand Order" was launched.

Due to the heavy promotion at the beginning and the fact that it started with "Fate Zero", the game attracted tens of millions of players as soon as it was launched.

Over the next week, players were addicted to the game and even started spending real money on it.

Just to get those powerful and handsome heroes as soon as possible, such as Gilgamesh, Saber, Zhao Yun, and... Ying Zheng, these powerful heroes.

Lin Qingshan also registered an account, and after spending a lot of money, he got a powerful heroic spirit.

He played with it for a while and found it quite playable.

He was immersed in playing for a long time, and only started cooking when it was time to cook in the evening.

Because Gu Qianli worked at Station C Company, only he and Pochita had dinner together in the evening.

After setting dinner aside for Pochita, Lin Qingshan finally enjoyed his dinner at the table.

"correct……"

Just then, he remembered something and opened the Manjie comic app on his phone, saying, "It seems that the comic works of Shiqing and Chunqiang have started serialization. Let me see what's going on!"

When I clicked on it, a promotional page for the "Comic Newcomer Award" appeared on the page.

Lin Qingshan clicked in again and found that there were more than a dozen comic works on the page.

Demon Slayer by Wu Shiqing is easiest to recognize because the cover features Tanjiro and his sister.

As for Chen Chunqiang's...it's a bit hard to recognize.

Because Chen Chunqiang's works had never appeared in Lin Qingshan's previous life.

However, since Chen Chunqiang said his pen name was "Absolutely Strong", he searched carefully and found Chen Chunqiang's "Re: The Creator".

Lin Qingshan first clicked on "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" and read the first three episodes.

It is similar to the "Demon Slayer" I watched in my previous life, but the style of painting is obviously really beautiful, not as ordinary as the original manga.

The background is the end of the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that after the sun sets, evil ghosts appear and eat people.

There are also ghost hunters who kill evil ghosts and protect people.

The ordinary and happy daily life of Tanro, a charcoal-selling boy, changed drastically on the day his family was attacked by an evil spirit.

His mother and four younger brothers and sisters were brutally murdered, while his sister Nezuko, who survived with him, was transformed into a ferocious man-eating demon.

And then after an encounter with the ghost hunter Fu Yiyong, under the guidance of Fu Yiyong, a boy named Tanlang who aspires to become a ghost hunter, embarks on a journey with his sister Nezuko, who has turned into a ghost but still retains her sanity.

Apart from the name change, there is basically no change.

After all, the Crocodile Teacher in this world is from the Republic, so he must have subconsciously named himself after the native region of the Republic.

The plot was as exciting as ever, and with the exquisite painting style, Lin Qingshan felt relieved immediately.

Wu Shiqing should be able to become an excellent cartoonist in the future, and may not even need the help of the animation production team. He will become famous immediately after the animation becomes a hit.

After watching Wu Shiqing's "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", Lin Qingshan went to watch Chen Chunqiang's "Re: The Creator".

The painting style... is very exquisite. There is no doubt that Chen Chunqiang's painting skills are the best.

Even Akutami Yuta is not as good as him in this respect. At the beginning, Chen Chunqiang's painting skills were the best among Lin Qingshan's three assistants.

After all, as a cartoonist who once serialized comics, he must have his own unique style.

However, Akutami Yuta's storyboards and character action structure are much better than Chen Chunqiang's.

Especially the fighting scenes, Yuta Akutami always draws them with a very vivid sense of picture.

The beginning of "Re: The Creator" is... a scene of a girl wearing glasses committing suicide by lying on the railway tracks.

But after the girl committed suicide, the money was found in a sketchbook she had placed beside the track.

On the sketch book, there was a vivid drawing of a girl with twin ponytails wearing a European military uniform, and her eyes seemed to be a little sad.

Then I drew...

A tall young man sat at the table, with brushes and tools scattered around him, and he was drawing one draft after another.

"David and Lucy, we are going to say goodbye here."

After drawing a picture of a girl with short neon hair looking ahead reluctantly, the young man seemed to speak a little lonely.

This is... Lin Qingshan himself!

Lin Qingshan in the comics is still drawing the finale of "Edgewalker".

Lin Qingshan blinked his eyes immediately, and found things becoming interesting.

Even when Chen Chunqiang continued to draw the drawing of Lucy by Lin Qingshan, Lucy's eyes moved.

However, the next scene changed, and a young man wearing glasses appeared, watching the finale of the "Edgewalker" comic on his mobile phone.
