Gotta Go the Healing Route

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The outbreak of the plot rhythm of "The Chainsaw Man" can be said to be sudden, and what is also sudden is that the lovable characters who have just stood up in the story have died without even scum left.

Literally, Ji Ye gave everything he had to the devil, leaving only a pile of clothes after death, but the real body was completely wood.This also makes the readers of "Chain Saw Man" feel insecure.

It stands to reason that the death of a supporting character is nothing at all.But this is a bad sign for readers who have experienced the baptism of "Magic Circle".

Don't you see, the sudden turn of the plot of the magic circle started when the senior sister turned around.

Don't say that Wang Dao comics are not Wang Dao comics. As early as the beginning of the serialization of "Chain Saw Man", some readers didn't like it at all.Because they also know that some authors' personal style is above the subject matter.

As for Yubie walking all the way to the cartoonist, it goes without saying what the style of the story is.

Darkness, reality, and cruelty, coupled with the ending of "Death Note" and the habit of drawing dead characters throughout the story of "Magic Circle", these characteristics have become labels for Yu Beizhao.

As for now, some readers who originally thought that the author would change his ways have given up their illusions.

At the same time, Xiaozheng's results for this issue also came out.As usual, on the day the results came out, Aster Uemura came to the studio to report to Yu Kazama.

................

"Where's Mr. Zhicheng?"

Arriving at Kazama Yuki's studio, Uemura Ziwan looked around.

Generally speaking, at this point, the rest of the studio's assistants have already left work, but Zhicheng will stay and communicate with Kazama Xi.This is also the special treatment of the real Zhicheng.Two weeks ago, when Aster Uemura came here, Masato Zhicheng was there every time.Uemura Ziwan has never tried Zhicheng as an ordinary assistant.

"Mr. Zhicheng took the initiative to ask for a two-day vacation, and went home to calm down...cough cough, went home to digest the income."

"Is that so..."

Uemura Aster nodded, put the document bag on the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa.

After tidying up the workbench, Yuki Kazama sat on the sofa opposite Aster Uemura.

"How did readers respond to this week's plot?"

They were all old acquaintances, and Kazama Xi didn't exchange pleasantries, and went straight to the point.

"Ask the question knowingly, of course the response is quite big..."

Uemura Aster rolled her eyes and said.

Yuki Kazama had already told Aster Uemura about this part of the plot in advance.At that time, the original manuscript of the manga had not yet come out, but Aster Uemura had already made a rough guess about the reaction of readers in the market.

As for the result, although there were slight discrepancies, it was similar to what she had expected.

"However, according to the feedback from the reader interest survey, most of the readers are scolding."

"Are you scolding?"

To this, Kazama Xi didn't react too much, just nodded lightly, and asked again: "What about Xiaozheng's grades?"

"No.2." Aster Uemura said calmly about the results of "The Chainsaw Man" this week.

Although her heart was calm, Aster Uemura was relieved in her heart.

Except for this time, the best time for "Chain Saw Man" was when it was first serialized.After all, Shueisha spent a lot of effort on publicity at that time.Coupled with the ending of the magic circle Yu Ze, the first episode of "The Chainsaw Man" attracted a lot of attention.But in the subsequent period of accumulating and paving the way for the plot, the score of "Chain Saw Man" fell to No.5, which was firmly suppressed by Wu Shanyun's "Bound of the Lingzhu".

Although I also know that Wang Dao Manga attaches great importance to the accumulation in the early stage, and it is very impressive to be able to get this result stably, but Aster Uemura is always wondering if the result can be taken one step closer.

She told Kazama Xi about it when celebrating the animation of the Magic Circle last time.The young man also worked very hard on the plot.

As for Kazama Yuki's style, Uemura Ziwan doesn't want to say too much, after all, they have been working together for so long.It can be said that Kazama Xi's current success is inseparable from this evil wind.

Just like this episode of "Chain Saw Man", once Ji Ye died, the familiar smell came back, and his grades immediately improved dramatically.

In the words of Kazama Xi now:

"Clearly saying no, the reader is still quite honest."

"actually..."

Listening to Kazama Yuki's words, Uemura Aster's expression became a little complicated.

"Although the readers are scolding, they are not scolding the plot of the story."

"What are you scolding?" Kazama Xi asked subconsciously.

"They are scolding you." Aster Uemura replied seriously.

Uemura Aster's words made Kazama Xi slightly taken aback.

Seeing this, Aster Uemura shook her head helplessly.

It can be said that it is the style of success and the style of failure.

Leaving aside the industry, in the circle of readers and fans, Kazama Xi can be described as literally 'notorious'.

This kind of situation actually has a trend when the magic circle is serialized.

Leaving aside the author himself, the work itself is indeed excellent.Whether it is the setting, plot, character design, or the connotation expressed in the story, not to mention that it can make everyone dormant, but it is really difficult to pick out the fault.

But being a little depressed by the story, readers always find a way to vent.If you can't spray the plot, then you can only scold the author.

Now when it comes to "Chain Saw Man", the direction of the wind has completely changed.

Take Hime Ye's death as an example, the readers didn't scold the plot for being flawed.In other words, the tone of "The Chainsaw Man" is dark and somewhat neurotic, and there is nothing to complain about from the logic of the story.So, it turned into cursing Kazama Xi herself.

Judging from the trend that you can receive a box of blades on the second day after the release of this issue of jump, continue with this style of issuing knives, and when Kazama Xifeng retires, you can rely on the blades sent by readers A world-class hardware company is not out of the question.

It's not that readers really hate Kazama Xi and Yu Biechao's pseudonym.Otherwise, the works that Kazama Xi brought would not have so many fans.There won't be so many fans who want to get in touch with Xi Kazama in person.

The so-called scolding is more of a love-hate relationship with the story and the author himself. Relying on this, a large number of readers play tricks together.

However, wind reviews like Kazama Yuki can really be called No. 1 in the history of the founding of Weekly Shonen Jump.

However, even if some fans are taking the lead in playing tricks, the murder of wind reviews is a real thing.

Thinking of this, Uemura Ziwan felt that it was necessary to persuade Kazama Xi to consider that matter.

"Xi Jun, what I discussed with you last time, the release event, meeting and communicating with fans..."

Before Aster Uemura could finish her sentence, she received Kazama Xi's death stare.

"Sister Ziwan, are you asking me to die?"

Chapter 210 Interview

Aster Uemura also mentioned the issue of the release meeting to Yu Kazama before when the Magic Circle was serialized.

But then she was more or less joking.Because Kazama Xi had just entered high school at that time, it was not a good thing for a high school student to show his face, not to mention that the readers at that time became excited because of the plot of the magic circle.

After all, the creative circle is different from the film and television circle, and the sooner you become famous, the better.Fame also has an impact on the life around the author.

Stared at by Kazama Yuki, Uemura Ziwan shook her head again and again.

"Don't get me wrong, listen to me, Mr. Xi."

"Sooner or later, there will be a sales meeting..."

Whether it is for the readers and fans who have always supported themselves, or for the continued development of the future business, a platform that allows fans and readers to contact is essential.

Just like Wu Shanyun next door, because of the approaching graduation, I didn't have so many worries, and held the release meeting on the big stage of CM.Wu Shanyun's own reputation and reputation have been greatly improved immediately.

Maintaining the author's own mystery is a good thing from a marketing point of view.But when the sense of mystery has accumulated to a certain level, it is only by going to the foreground that a greater response can be obtained.

Of course, Kazama Xi knew about it, he nodded slightly.

It's not that he's really afraid that a release meeting will be killed by readers' outrage.It's just that at this stage, creating and accumulating with peace of mind is what he wants.

According to some of his plans for the future, even if Aster Uemura doesn't mention it after graduation, he will take the initiative to step up to the front desk.

"Xi-kun, your situation is indeed a bit special, but this kind of thing can be done slowly and step by step." Ziwan Uemura smiled.

"In modern entertainment, the interaction between the author and the reader is essential."

"The signing event and the fan meeting are undoubtedly the best interactive channels, but in addition, there are also one-way methods that allow readers to understand the cartoonist of 'Rain Bie Chao'. "

What Aster Uemura wanted to say, Yu Kazama roughly guessed it.

"You mean...interview?"

"Television interview?"

Uemura Ziwan shook her head and said, "No, it's the simplest written conversation."

Generally, records are published on paper media, and are recorded in a question-and-answer manner.

"Recently, I just had such an opportunity. In the character interview section of the next Kanna Bunhui Weekly, the other party invited you by name."

Shennai Wenhui Weekly, this publication can be said to be the most famous folk magazine in the entire Shennai country.

If Weekly Shonen Jump is the No. [-] manga publishing industry, then this Kana Bunhui Weekly is the leader among all paper media in Kana Kingdom.

As a comprehensive magazine, the audience of this weekly magazine is from the elderly in their 80s and [-]s to children in their [-]th and [-]th years old.

Of course, the publisher behind it is also very powerful, Nagawa Publishing House.It is a national publishing and media enterprise and a subsidiary company of Nagawa Group.

As for the character interview column of the weekly magazine here, it is even more famous, and representatives from all walks of life and fields will be invited.

From economists, physicists, entrepreneurs and even national-level traditional writers, to big directors, popular stars, and voice actors, the interviewees invited are varied.

The acg field has a great influence in Kana, and naturally there will be various producers, script writers and cartoonists.

For example, the authors of the three national-level comics have all been interviewed by Kanna Bunhui Weekly.

"Among the cartoonists of the new generation, you and Wu Shanyun are the most representative. Compared with that eldest lady, you are undoubtedly more topical and controversial than Mr. Xi."

"If possible, I suggest that you accept this interview request from the other party."

"You can also take this opportunity to pass on some of your creative ideas and creative ideas to readers and fans."

It just so happened that Kazama Xi had some problems with her reputation, and this might be a good way to reverse her reputation.

Aster Uemura's proposal moved Kazama Xi a little.If you think about it seriously, this kind of interview is really only good and not bad.

By the way, I can confide in the heartfelt feelings of the warrior of love. I have been forced to bear the title of old thief all this time.

Obviously, I am just a decent manga artist who focuses on love, justice and light.

"How about it?"

"You've said it to this point, what else can I refute?"

Seeing Yu Kazama nodding in agreement, Aster Uemura also smiled.
