A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

The weather warmed up, and the snow that had swept across Dragon Country for several months stopped, and the green vegetation began to sprout in spring.

Shen Zhengzhe got up early in the morning.

Today was the weekend and he didn't have to go to work. He got up early in the morning and exercised for half an hour, then went to the bookstore to buy the latest single volume of Hunter x Hunter, which was released the day before yesterday, but he had no time to buy it because of work, and the new issue of "Liuli" by Liuli Bookstore.

When he got home, he turned on the TV and switched to the Magic City TV1 channel. He watched the replay of the latest episode of Slam Dunk and the Imperial City TV1, and then went to the Imperial City TV1 channel to watch the replay of the latest episode of Initial D. Shen Zhengzhe let out a long sigh of relief.

Satisfied, satisfied!

As a worker, the weekend is really a salvation for him.

Not only can he get a short redemption from the busy workday, but he can also catch up on the reruns of Sword Art Online, Initial D, Slam Dunk and other animations that he didn't have time to watch on the weekdays, and he can also catch up on the latest chapters of Xia Yan's Sword Art Online novel and the latest chapters of Hunter x Hunter comics in the past week.

It feels like he has done all the things he wanted to do most in a week in one day.

"This is life!"

Shen Zhengzhe, who is easily satisfied, immersed himself in such emotions while watching the works of Xia Yan that he had missed in the past week.

Then, his emotions were high all afternoon, because he and most of the two-dimensional fans in Longguo knew that the Fullmetal Alchemist animation, which has been serialized for more than a year, will end tonight.

Both TV1 in Modu and Xia Tang Animation have been promoting this for two weeks, and in order to complete the plot in a continuous manner and give the audience the best viewing experience, the last two episodes were broadcast on the same day.

Normally, it’s fine to watch the first broadcast of animation. Today, all the senior fans of the second dimension in Longguo almost formed groups to inform each other and support Xia Yan.

After all, the quality of Fullmetal Alchemist has been seen by everyone since it was broadcast. Although the plot is not as straightforward as Lelouch in terms of excitement, the aftertaste and thinking about the plot after watching it are more than that.

In the evening, the major fan groups are already lively at this moment.

"It's here, this day has finally come."

"It's evening now, and the big one will come in an hour."

"I don't ask for anything, I just hope that Lao Zei won't kill any more characters. The animation Fullmetal Alchemist has killed many characters, and I don't want anyone else to die."

"In fact, sometimes I feel uncomfortable when the protagonist's companions are killed, and even the protagonist's enemies, such as the seven deadly sins, die, which makes me sigh. Alas"

"So this is Lao Zei's ability to portray the plot! There's nothing much to say, it's awesome."

"To be honest, I still feel a little uncomfortable that Fullmetal Alchemist ended like this. I feel that there is still a lot of room for this work. In addition to the country where the protagonists are, the world is still very big. Why don't the protagonists explore larger places?"

"That would be boring. The main theme of this animation is that the two brothers of the protagonist find their bodies. If you do as you said, from one country to another and then to the whole world, it would be an upgraded animation, and it would be clichéd."

"That's what you said, but I don't want it to end!"

"What are you afraid of? Fullmetal Alchemist is over, Hunter Animation will also catch up. In the autumn market, there will be the Pokemon animation, and then there will be Slam Dunk. The third season of Sword Art Online animation ended this year. Next year, there will be three self-made animation movies of Lao Zei released. In the second half of next year, there will be live-action TV series of Lao Zei's Initial D and Magical Girl Madoka Magica. I can't finish watching them all. I can't finish watching them all. "

"It's true that Lao Zei is now working hard in several major fields, including games, novels, animation, comics, TV series, and movies. I feel like his works are about to surround me. Although he doesn't have many new works, the derivative copyright development of his old works is actually enough to surprise people."

"In fact, it's quite emotional. Lao Zei is less than 24 years old, and he has created so many works! Just by developing derivative copyrights, he can create so many. It's terrifying to think about it.

"Anyway, this is better. I would rather follow the TV series and movie adaptations of Lao Zei's previous works, and I don't want Lao Zei to be so productive in one year like before. We all know that such high productivity is not a normal situation. Over time, it is fatal to exhaust Lao Zei's creative talent. This kind of steady flow is actually quite good. ”

“Alas, actually I am just worried that Lao Zei has been going downhill since Fullmetal Alchemist. Although Lao Zei has said such remarks at the end of every work, I have a strong feeling that it will be difficult for Lao Zei to create a work that surpasses Fullmetal Alchemist. Perhaps tonight is Lao Zei's true peak. ”

“Don't think too much. It is hard for me to imagine any animation that can surpass Fullmetal Alchemist. However, Lao Zei does not need to surpass himself all the time! A true master can always maintain a super high standard, rather than surpassing the performance of the previous work in every work. Even if Lao Zei's next work is not as good as Fullmetal Alchemist, as long as he can maintain a certain level, I don't believe anyone will dare to say a bad thing about him. ”

“That's good. Now Lao Zei is almost a myth in the Dragon Country two-dimensional world, and almost all the haters have been purified.”

“In short, it's all kinds of melancholy. Fullmetal Alchemist is finished, and it feels like a friend has left our garden.”

Since seven o'clock in the evening, Shen Zhengzhe has been immersed in Xia Yan's fan group and the Fullmetal Alchemist forum.

When it was close to eight o'clock, I clicked on the Magic City TV1 channel. As expected, the Magic City TV1 channel was not used to play GG during such a prime time period, but was used to promote the animation of Steel Refining at the end.

TV events, programs, text message draws, and other routines are borrowed one after another, the purpose is to retain the audience.

Even during the broadcast of the animation, there are routines for scanning QR codes to win big gifts.

Both Xia Yan and Modu TV1 are taking tonight seriously.

The ratings record in the field of Dragon Kingdom animation is held by Xia Yan's Lelouch, and tonight.

They want to break this record and push it above 7%.

If it succeeds, this will be the only animation in Dragon Kingdom with a single-episode ratings of over 7%. If it goes well, in this era of declining numbers of teenagers and the rise of the Internet, no one will be able to break this record in the future. Perhaps it will be Long Guo's only work in the TV era with a single episode ratings exceeding 7%.

More than 200 people from Xia Yan Company's Steel Refining production team were anxiously waiting in the hall for the Steel Refining broadcast to begin.

Xia Yan and Tang Yin were chatting relaxedly in the office. Of course, his eyes would be fixed on the TV1 screen projected in the office from time to time.

Soon, eight o'clock sharp

The animation of Steel Refining is launched.

Brand new OP screen, brand new OP song, Xia Yan spent a lot of money to produce the song by a well-known musician from the Dragon Kingdom. It is the first and only time to appear on the steel animation.

Shen Zhengzhe concentrated and looked at the new OP screen seriously.

Two minutes later, he was still unfinished, and his attention was instantly attracted by the plot of Steel Refining.

The plot of steelmaking in the past month basically revolves around the battle between the Edward brothers, father and son, and the villain in the bottle, as well as the battle between the national alchemist force and the president, the most powerful of the androids.

In last week's plot, the president died, and the villain in the bottle was dying because of Edward's violent beating.

But the key thing is that the audience doesn't care at all about the fate of the little man in the bottle.

In fact, this work of Steel cannot be said to be flawless. At least the creation of the villain in the bottle of the final big boss is actually not as good as the creation of the seven deadly sins and other minor bosses in previous episodes.

Especially the jealous "Envy"'s interaction with Edward before his death showed that he had always been jealous of human beings.

Greedy "Gulide" previously admitted that his long-standing wish was to have a group of reliable partners.

There is also the strongest android, Raging Lars, a being who never wavers in his goal from beginning to end, and who is so indifferent to his own life and the life of his enemies.

The sense of oppression this character brings to the audience is unparalleled.

Many viewers even agreed with this character's point of view and looked at it from his perspective and did not think there was anything wrong with him.

And the creation of the little man in the bottle.

That's much worse.

First of all, there are relatively few scenes of its appearance, and secondly, the foreshadowing for it is average.

Just like Kaguya in the ending of Naruto, no matter how powerful the author makes her, she cannot be on the same level as Madara and Obito.

Because of this, in the previous episode, the plot showed that in order to defeat the villain in the bottle, Edward even had to sacrifice his brother's soul, and the audience naturally did not agree with it.

And in this episode.

From the very beginning, there is the scene of the villain in the bottle being violently beaten by Edward, and the scene of the power of the philosopher's stone in his body being out of control, causing his body to become distorted into a human shape.

It was born behind the Gate of Arrangement. After being defeated by Edward, it was pulled to the front of the Gate of Truth.

【Why! God, what do you have against me? 】

The man in the bottle roars at the door of truth.

And "God", the incarnation of truth, also turned into a little white man to talk to it.

This plot is actually a bit abstract, but the entire work of Gang Lian is quite abstract, and Shen Zhengzhe only continued to read after being puzzled for two minutes.

This section of the "god" of truth's criticism of the little man in the bottle is also quite interesting.

[Obviously it was born from human hands, but it’s just that it’s always attached to God! If you don't grow up yourself, can you surpass humans if you give up the seven desires? Don’t make people laugh]

[I want to become a complete existence and want to know everything in the world. What’s wrong with wanting this? ] The man in the bottle roared at God.

What responded to it was just the other person's smile

[So, give you despair! 】

The door of truth opens, and countless tentacles grab the little man in the bottle from inside.

The little man in the bottle who always regarded himself as God was finally sent into the door of truth by the incarnation of the real God, truth, universe, wholeness, a collection of first-class concepts.

"Is this over?" Shen Zhengzhe let out a long breath

But then, there was endless confusion.

What about Alphonse?

Did Alphonse die just to help Edward defeat such an ugly existence?

In fact, as far as Shen Zhengzhe is concerned, he also feels that the creation of the villain in the bottle is not as oppressive as the president. He feels that he does not have that charm and is just a simple arrogant maniac.

The steelmaking ratings have been rising steadily up to now, reaching around 6.7%.

Xia Yan himself also knew that the battle between the boss of the Little Man in the Bottle and the Edward brothers was actually just average fun, so the plot did not drag on and quickly came to the reality in the animation.

Edward won, but his expression was extremely sad, but he did not give up, and was still thinking about how to get his brother back from the Gate of Truth.

Then

At this moment, Edward, who had recovered his body, suddenly realized something.

Using wooden sticks, a formation formation familiar to the audience was drawn on the ground.

The human body is made into a formation!

?

Seeing this, Shen Zhengzhe's eyes widened.

This is?

"The old thief is going to let Edward let himself go?"

Many steel fans felt their hearts tightening at this moment.

If you want to gain something, you have to lose something.

Since Edward wants to save his younger brother, he can only exchange it for the existence that is also a life.

So?

Edward is preparing to sacrifice himself and Alphonse comes back?

Holy shit, what’s the point of doing this?

We don’t want to see Alphonse die, do we just want to see Edward die?

The formation formed engulfed Edward's body, and then, for the third time in his life, Edward came to the Gate of Truth.

There, too, the embodiment of truth awaited him.

[Are you here to take away your brother? How do you get back to being a complete person? With your body? 】Truth laughed at Edward.

Shen Zhengzhe and a group of steel fans in Long Kingdom also had this doubt.

Yes, what's the price?

Do you really want a life for a life?

【cost? ] Edward smiled calmly.

Point to the door of truth with complex alchemical patterns engraved behind it.

[Isn’t the price right here? This is my door of truth. I am free to use it however I want. 】

After hearing Edward's words, Shen Zhengzhe was stunned for a moment and then...

Something seemed to be exploding in my head.

Yours, the door of truth?

In an instant, Shen Zhengzhe reviewed the plots of the previous dozens of episodes of Steel Refining, as well as the plots of Edward's three visits here.

Indeed, behind the door is the truth, so everyone thinks that the door of truth also belongs to the truth and to God.

but

The truth is connected to everyone, but who says that the door of this connection belongs to the truth?

This is a misunderstanding of logical thinking and the concept of darkness under the lamp.

But it is this setting that Steel Refining has been serialized for dozens of episodes now, and no one on the entire Internet has noticed it.

Then why didn't Edward use the Door of Truth to exchange his brother and his own body from the beginning?

Shen Zhengzhe understood after thinking about it for a while.

Because Edward didn't know the answer to this question at first.

He came here three times, studied alchemy for more than ten years, fought with artificial humans, and only understood alchemy with each passing day.

What does the door of truth mean to me?

【Yeah? 】The incarnation of truth, God looked at Edward with a smile.

[If you lose the Gate of Truth, you will no longer be able to use alchemy. Are you willing? 】

Shen Zhengzhe's eyes widened. Holy shit, it turns out that the Gate of Truth is not something you can just leave if you don't want it.

Fullmetal Alchemist loses his alchemical abilities. This.

Shen Zhengzhe took a deep breath. Although it made him feel uncomfortable, compared to Alphonse, the price was already considered light.

[Are you willing to become an ordinary person who cannot use Alchemist? 】

[I was just an ordinary person from the beginning, and I couldn’t even save a little girl who turned into a synthetic beast. 】

The BGM of the background music progresses step by step, and Shen Zhengzhe's inner emotions continue to rise.

Edward clasped his hands together and used alchemy one last time.

Refine your own door of truth with your own hands.

Truth, the connection with him disappears.

The embodiment of truth also laughed heartily.

In exchange for its disappearance, Alphonse's weak and haggard body appeared in front of Edward again.

Not the Alphonse who always appeared in a steel body.

She is a beautiful girl with a gentle expression.

When Shen Zhengzhe saw this, his eyes moistened.

this.

Is this Alphonse when he grows up?

The mistake made by the two brothers in refining the human body when they were young, finally, after Edward devoted more than ten years of alchemy results...

Made it up back.

Really

A long journey.

The year that Shen Zhengzhe pursues animation is actually the more than ten years of the Edward brothers in animation.

Although the plot of retrieving the body is a bit abrupt, if you think about it carefully, the foreshadowing appeared in the previous plot, but no one went into it in depth.

Later, the death of Hohenheim, the father of the Edward brothers, in front of the grave of the two brothers' mother, also made Shen Zhengzhe burst into tears.

Because it is a two-episode series, the fate of each character in the work is also introduced in the last episode.

After Alphonse recovered, he was exercising with his own body.

Lin and other new people went back to their homes.

Of course, what made Shen Zhengzhe tearful the most was

When the two brothers Edward and Alphonse appeared in front of the heroine Wendy, they looked like normal people.

The light and shadow spanned more than ten years, the scene of the three of them having fun when they were children, the two brothers burning down the house and leaving in order to get their bodies back, and the scene of the two brothers appearing intact in front of Wendy at this moment.

That sense of fate and epicness came out all at once.

"This episode was so well done." Shen Zhengzhe's tears could be seen in his eyes.

There was no depression, no torture, just a simple daily drama, but it made him burst into tears.

This is the kind of life that two brothers pursue their whole lives.

as well as

At the end of this episode, he lost his alchemy, but in order to explore more knowledge, he embarked on a train to a foreign country.

Before getting in the car, he turned around and said his words of confession to Wendy.

[Equivalent exchange, I will give you half of my life. Give me half of your life! ]

[What half? All of it! ]

Wendy responded subconsciously to this sudden confession.

[Lessons without pain are meaningless, because people cannot get anything without sacrificing something, but when you endure this pain and overcome it, you will get a strong heart like steel that is not inferior to anything! ]

The new opening song suddenly sounded.

The moment the three big words "All done" appeared, Shen Zhengzhe's eyes were filled with tears and he couldn't stop.

This animation, which has been serialized for more than a year, brought him a lot of emotions, as well as Edward's confession at the end.

Fullmetal Alchemist is not talking about the steel prosthesis in Edward's hand.

It refers to the heart after overcoming sacrifice and pain.

After wiping his nose with a tissue, Shen Zhengzhe took a sip of Coke.

"The old thief is so good at sensationalism! Two minutes of plot gave me so much emotion."

"But. I give a blast to the animation of Fullmetal Alchemist!"

It didn't have a bad ending, and even sublimated the work to a certain extent.

The effect of the two consecutive episodes made Shen Zhengzhe applaud.

Although the big boss, the little man in the bottle, is really not very impressive, it's enough.

This ending of this animation is really a masterpiece.

The work has a lot of intentions and depth, and even the emotional drama between Wendy and Edward, which is rarely involved in this work, is perfect.

It can't be said to be a family-friendly plot, but at least, it can be called a happy ending.

At this moment, animation fans from all over Longguo woke up in a trance and started their actions.

First, give this episode of Fullmetal Alchemist a score on the Jiuxiao Forum, and then use your fingers to give the highest praise to Fullmetal Alchemist on the forum, fan group, website, and search engine.

When Code Geass became the first animation in Dragon Country's history, some so-called industry experts said that the plot of Code Geass' war was too childish and it was indeed a Dragon Aotian cool work.

But what about Fullmetal Alchemist?

In terms of politics, military affairs, battles, literary dramas, martial arts, villains, and the protagonist camp, which aspect was poorly portrayed?

And it made the novice audience interested, and the old white audience called it a masterpiece.

In this world, besides Fullmetal Alchemist, what other work can do this?

And the most difficult part of a work is the ending, but Fullmetal Alchemist also sublimates on this basis.

At this moment, on major websites in Dragon Country, those who watch animations and those who don't watch animations have found that the communities they like to visit are strongly occupied by topics related to Fullmetal Alchemist.

This scene is even more exaggerated than when Code Geass ended.
