Gotta Go the Healing Route

Perhaps because of the short time they got along, Uemura Ziwan couldn't figure out what the young man was thinking.What is the idea of ​​creation.

This doubt arose when I first came into contact with Kazama Xi's work, "The Posthumous Essay".The style of a manga author's story is closely related to his personal thoughts.

Taking advantage of this opportunity now, perhaps we can understand the boy's thoughts.

"It is also one of the editor's responsibilities to communicate with cartoonists and listen to their views on the work. Please feel free to speak."

Looking at Aster Uemura, Yu Kazama smiled slightly, and then walked forward.Shimura Ziwan immediately followed beside him.

"There is no distinction between cultural products created by human thought and imagination. Sister Ziwan, what do you think of this sentence?"

Uemura Aster thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Sure enough, it's not right. Although it is difficult to evaluate the value of human thought and cultural creation, the breadth of thinking contained in it is very different."

"Yes." Feng Jianxi nodded slightly.

"Whether a cultural product is good or bad, I think it is related to how many people's spiritual needs can be satisfied."

"The highest level is naturally the one that imparts knowledge, because knowledge is the most basic and noblest part of human spiritual needs."

"Textbooks, encyclopedias, and popular science books are classified into one category for the time being."

"The second is to satisfy the entertainment needs of the human spirit."

"Knowledge is powerful, but it is also boring and tedious. Since the beginning of human beings' own emotions, it is destined that the ideological and cultural creations will have a category that develops into entertainment functions."

"Games, anime, comics and novels are all in this category."

"But the third kind, I think is the essence of human cultural creation."

"What cannot be stated by basic knowledge, what cannot be reflected by cultural entertainment, is derived from people's thinking about themselves, the external objects around them, and their understanding of social reality. Those cultural creations that really have connotations and depths."

"Those famous books in the world, the works polished by great people in their thinking, can be called the most precious wealth of mankind."

In reality, the chain of contempt among creators stems from this.

"If you rigidly separate the second type from the third type, I think it would be too sad."

Blind entertainment loses the depth that cultural creations should have.

Blindly emphasizing connotation, and works that are divorced from the masses lose the breadth of reading.

"It is true that comics are a market-oriented thing, and it is only natural to make profits from them."

"However, it would be a shame if manga gave up something for entertainment's sake."

Aster Uemura understood, "You mean..."

Kazama Xi nodded, "That's right, what I mean is, while entertaining the public, we must also do something to make them think."

This evening has a deep feeling.

As an online novelist in his previous life, taking Tianchao's online novels as an example, Shuangwen, as a rising star, has already won half of the world.The rhythm can't wait to get faster and faster, and the plot is becoming more and more routine and brainless.There are still a few who can seriously write well.

After all, the market determines the author's head, and the only ones who guide readers to think while entertaining are the old authors with a large fan base.

"Manga is just pure storytelling. Interesting plots may be remembered, but other than that, if it doesn't make readers feel anything, it is a failure."

"Add some connotation to the entertaining story, and bury the seeds of thought-provoking in the story. Such comic works are rare."

"All I want to say is this..."

There is a lack of thought-provoking elements.

Lack of true love.

Who said that virtual works must be divorced from reality?Works that can reflect reality and make people think are good works.

A cultural work that blindly pursues a sense of refreshment and entertainment is doomed to be just a fast food culture with no nutritional value.A delicacy that is complete in color, flavor and nutritional value is the real goal for any creator to pursue.

Osamu Tezuka, known as the god of manga.Even if the manga drawing skills of later generations have evolved to that extent, and the story is novel to that extent, no one can surpass this title.

The reason lies in the connotation of the work itself.The stories are interesting and in-depth, which can make people think more while enjoying reading.

"While pursuing the fun of comics, add seeds that make people think?"

Uemura Aster said with emotion.

"What you said is very good, but it is too difficult to do this."

But she was suddenly stunned, because what the boy said at the beginning was to fill such a gap in the comics market.

In addition to the novel setting and exciting plot of "Death Note", where does it make people think?

During the conversation, the two had arrived at an electric street.

Stores that sell color TVs place samples of TVs in the display windows.

And the TV in the window was broadcasting the evening news.

Aster Uemura has also heard about that news, because there has been a lot of trouble recently.

Basically, a rich and young man killed a girl, but the doctor found out that he was mentally ill and was acquitted.The girl's father sought revenge and beat Fu Shao into paralyzed, and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

Many people on the Internet feel sympathy for the father who avenged his daughter.

What is justice.

Aster Uemura suddenly thought of this question.

PS: This chapter is a bit short because... I dare not write it.It's embarrassing, the things discussed in dead pen are a bit sensitive after all.

PS2: I will write dead lines later, some wonderful plots of wits and the reactions of others.But in order for this book not to be blocked, ahem, some things are still...

Chapter 67 Forum

In August, summer is getting stronger.

Before the air became hotter and hotter, Kazama Xi had experienced campus life for more than a month, and Sakurama Middle School finally announced the holiday.

Of course, there is an important and large exam before the holiday.

Although this short period of more than a month of school life, Xi Kazama has been sitting in the back seat and drawing manga with peace of mind.But for him, there is still no need for the same people who are learning to fish in the back row to temporarily hug Buddha's feet.

Shen Nai's junior high school mathematics topics are nothing more than quadratic equations in one variable, trigonometric functions, and simple geometry, which are very simple.And the foreign language course is the Chinese language. There is no doubt that Kazama Xi, the mother tongue of the previous life, is much more professional than the lecturer on the stage.

As for Chinese, physics, chemistry, society and so on, they are just the most basic knowledge points close to common sense, so don't worry.

Of course, being a blockbuster is not the effect Kazama Xi wanted. If you hide your clumsiness, a big improvement in performance compared to his predecessor can be regarded as fulfilling his long-awaited promise to Kazama.

It is worth mentioning that after the exam, that classmate Shika Imamura came here to make an appointment with Kazama Xi to play during the holiday.

According to Kazama Xi's experience, this kind of girl who has already filled up her favorability may be able to get her by going out for a walk.

However, if a mature adult falls in love with an ignorant junior high school student, forget it. Naturally, Kazama Xi couldn't bear this face and refused decisively.

Then it's the official summer life.For Kazama Xi, not much has changed.It's nothing more than changing from drawing manuscripts in school to painting at home.

Deliver manuscripts on time every week, besides painting, Kazama Xi also has an extra activity.

Go online.

Yu Kazama used the manuscript fee in her bank card to buy a laptop with a good price-performance ratio under the recommendation of Aster Uemura.

The Internet has been developing in this world for five or six years. From the most basic email and search functions, it is also moving towards socialization.

At this time, there are already several chat software and some forums in the Internet field.

Sitting in the air-conditioned room, Kazama Xi turned on the computer comfortably.To be honest, the old system and the heavy laptop really made him a little uncomfortable at first.

Although Aster Uemura said that this was the latest model, Xi Kazama still felt a little disgusted.However, after using it for a while, I got used to it.

Open the favorite URL, which is a public forum.It involves multiple sectors such as finance, film and television, sports, life, acg, etc.It is currently the forum with the most users and the highest activity in Kana.

Clicking on the acg page, Kazama Xi selected the comics column in the columns of this page.

Among them, the posts about comics have already been arranged dozens of pages later.Those who can use computers to browse forums are basically high school students or college students, which shows the popularity of manga among young people in Kana.

It is worth mentioning that Kazama Xi is now a celebrity.

Weekly Shonen Jump, as a fighter among paper magazines, had a circulation of nearly 600 million at its peak.

This is an absolute horror in all genres of newspapers and magazines.Like the literary magazine "Spring and Autumn" mentioned earlier, the sales volume in a week is only 60 to 600.And it doesn’t take many cartoonists to serialize on Jump, there are more or less fans who like their cartoons among the [-] million people.

"Death Note" has now been serialized to the sixth episode.

Gold shines wherever it goes.

Just as Kazama Xi expected, this classic Wisdom Comics from the previous life, the peak of Xie Daoman at that time, caused great waves even if it was placed in this different time and space.

With the results of Xiaozheng's first six episodes, Kazama Xi has firmly occupied the top three positions.Although it only won the first place in the second episode, the next few episodes were only ranked second because of the few national comics with deep fan backgrounds.But Kazama Xi has enough confidence. According to the compact plot breaking point of "Death Note", the more exciting stories and the accumulated fans, this comic will overthrow those national works and reach the top sooner or later.

Now Kazama Xi also has a large number of fans.

Although the name Kazama Xi is still a bit inconspicuous, those who have read Chidori Magazine may immediately think of that unusual fairy tale author.

But among the current student population, the name 'Rain Bie Chao' is definitely well-known.

Kazama Yuki clicked on the manga section, and found a discussion post about "Death Note" on the top post.

Although Xiaozheng and the flash report are enough to reflect the interest trend of readers, Kazama Xi is still very curious about the specific reaction of readers.

Sure enough, the discussion posts of Wisdom Comics are naturally discussing their plots.

The manga has come to the sixth chapter.

In the second chapter, L made a stunning appearance in such a way, and after a wonderful air showdown with Ye Shenyue.The battle between the two sides deepened further.

After investigation, L found that the death time of the prisoner who died of heart paralysis was from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am from Monday to Friday.

And on weekends, the deaths of the prisoners were very sporadic.

From this, L judged that Kira's identity is likely to be a student.

In addition, some death row inmates whose names were not announced, or whose names were not reported, were spared from death. L has already detected the elements of Ye Shenyue's murder.

However, Ye Shenyue's father is the director of the Public Security Bureau, and Ye Shenyue would hack into his father's computer every day.Naturally, he knew the progress of the investigation by the police, and he fully understood that the police had locked the criminals in the group of students.

Ye Shenyue uses the characteristics of the death note to manipulate the time of death of a person, and specially plans to kill a prisoner every hour, thus proving that he can obliterate the prisoner at any time.

Of course, this move is tantamount to announcing the fact: 'L, I know the progress of your investigation, there is an insider in the police'.

Clever as Ye Shenyue naturally did this on purpose.

This is a conspiracy that L also has to fall into.
