Chapter 355 New Work Finalized

Lin Qingshan spoke to the people in charge of Trigger Animation and his two assistants Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang, and then drove over to the location Feng Yiyuan said.

This is a teahouse, probably because the republic in this parallel world is more powerful, so populism is more prevalent.

Although Shanghai, as an international metropolis, has a lot of cafes, the number of teahouses is relatively small.

Lin Qingshan walked into the teahouse, and the waiter immediately greeted him and took him in directly.

It seems that Feng Yiyuan has already greeted the waiter in the teahouse here.

Outside the teahouse, antique wooden tables and chairs are arranged into small square tables with several teacups placed on them.

There are several ink paintings hanging on its walls, depicting landscapes and scenery, which makes people yearn for it.

The atmosphere inside the teahouse is elegant and tranquil, with a light fragrance of tea filling the air, making people feel extremely comfortable. The soft lighting inside makes people feel warm.

When walking through the aisle, Lin Qingshan discovered that there was a small garden here. Various flowers and plants were planted in the garden, making the teahouse more pleasant.

After the waiter brought Lin Qingshan to an elegant private room, she left first.

"Is it Qingshan? Just come in."

Feng Yiyuan's voice came from the private room and said.

"Okay, Teacher Feng."

Lin Qingshan pushed open the sliding door of the private room and walked in.

There is a different kind of scenery in the private room. Mahogany tables and chairs are placed in the center of the room. Next to it is a screen from the Tang Dynasty. On the screen is a painting of flowers and birds, which looks particularly elegant.

Behind the private room, there is another small garden, with a small rockery sitting on it and a clear spring flowing on the mountain.

Lin Qingshan thought to himself, Teacher Feng is really an elegant person, and he seems to like Tang Feng very much.

The comics he draws are also so-called cultivation-themed comics. His desire to seek the truth seems to be very strong...

However, there was not only Feng Yiyuan alone in the private room, but also one of his assistants, Lin Qingshan, whom he also met at the last Manjie Annual Meeting.

Because the serialization span of "Purple Air from the East" was very long, many assistants were changed during the period. Many of Feng Yiyuan's assistants and students became popular cartoonists, and some were unknown.

But I heard that Feng Yiyuan was very considerate, and even if his assistants could not become popular cartoonists, they would be recommended to become other practitioners in the industry.

There is another person... Lin Qingshan is quite familiar with.

"Chief Editor Yang?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and said curiously to Yang Dahai, who was sitting opposite Feng Yiyuan.

"Teacher Aoyama."

Yang Dahai smiled and nodded to him and said.

"Qingshan, come on, sit down."

Feng Yiyuan smiled and said, "I'll make you a cup of tea."

"Well, thank you Teacher Feng."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head, closed the door, and then without being polite, sat directly next to Yang Dahai and said.

Feng Yiyuan's tea-making technique is very professional, everything seems orderly and without any panic.

Lin Qingshan was a little curious about this and asked subconsciously, "Teacher Feng... you just use hot water to make tea, doesn't it feel hot?"

Suddenly, Ning Zhizhu and Yang Dahai, assistants beside Feng Yiyuan, were speechless.

Feng Yiyuan was stunned for a moment, but he said with a smile, "I did get burned at first, but now I'm used to it...Okay, Qingshan, your tea."

"Thank you very much, Teacher Feng."

Lin Qingshan did not touch the cup of tea directly, scratched his head and said.

"What's wrong? Qingshan doesn't like tea?"

Feng Yiyuan was stunned again and asked.

"I usually prefer drinks with sweet taste."

Lin Qingshan said sheepishly, "And I'm afraid of getting burned."

"Let the Qingshan cool down before drinking."

Feng Yiyuan didn't care and said with a smile.

It's just that the corner of Ning Zhizhu's mouth twitched a little, and he said that the popular cartoonist Qingshan was mentally abnormal. Now it seems... he kind of believes it.

"The teacher called me here, is there something wrong?"

Lin Qingshan asked curiously at this time.

Feng Yiyuan chuckled and said, ""Purple Air Coming from the East" is coming to an end."

"Ah? Really? Congratulations, teacher."

Lin Qingshan was not surprised, but congratulated Feng Yiyuan with a smile and said.

"As expected, Qingshan, you are different from others."

Feng Yi saw the situation, laughed again, and said, "Everyone else felt surprised, but Qingshan you congratulated me instead."

"That's because for creators, when their works can be completed and come to an end, it is equivalent to seeing their children grow up successfully and start a family."

Lin Qingshan said seriously, "For me, this is definitely something worth being happy about, so I am really happy for the teacher."

Mainly, it can be compared to a very popular work like "Purple Air Coming from the East", which has been serialized until it landed smoothly without too many negative reviews.

This is a work that comic fans like Lin Qingshan who have experienced both worlds rarely see.

The three major migrant workers comics in the previous life all have their own criticisms.

It is said that the "Purple Energy Coming from the East" in this world corresponds to the "One Piece" in the previous life.

However, "One Piece" has been serialized in its previous life and in its later stages, there are still settings that make people complain about the "Nika Fruit", and there are also settings that beautify pirates, which are already making people complain.

However, the navy that helped the Tianlong people to help the tyrants proved to be not a good thing later.

Therefore, most of the fans of "One Piece" in the previous life were originally one-minded and became blocked on both ends...

Although "Purple Air Coming from the East" has been controversial, there is really nothing to complain about.

In other words, compared to "Purple Air from the East", it is more like "One Piece", rather than more like the "Dragon Ball" of this world.

It is extremely popular, has excellent reviews, and its reputation is basically unsatisfactory. You can complain about some of the plots of "Purple Air from the East", but if it is put online, it will be exaggerated.

So "Purple Air Coming from the East" can be considered a perfect landing.

"What Qingshan said is right, so for me, the end of "Purple Air Coming from the East" is indeed a happy thing."

Feng Yiyuan also smiled and said, "It's time to end this long journey. I also want to take a break."

"It's good for the teacher to take a break. Then he can better start the next work and bring better works to the comic fans."

Lin Qingshan gave a thumbs up and said.

Feng Yiyuan is different from his copycat. He can seamlessly copy the works. That's because he only needs to copy the popular works in his previous life that have withstood the test of the market and comic fans.

Feng Yiyuan is a true creator. It is best to take a break and think about new works.

However, Feng Yiyuan smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't plan to start a new work."

"ah?"

Lin Qingshan was quite surprised. He opened his mouth wide, obviously very surprised.

"I know that if I make a new work, it won't be able to surpass "Purple Air Coming from the East"."

Feng Yiyuan chuckled and said, "And the money earned from "Purple Air" is enough for me to spend a lifetime. In that case, why don't I quit quickly? Why do I need to start a new work and attract criticism from the outside world?"

After Lin Qingshan heard this, he felt that what Feng Yiyuan said... seemed to be true.

Many cartoonists...or even, by extension, many creators have attracted criticism just because they publish new works.

Even some creators will attract criticism if they don't work hard.

Just like Mr. Itchy Rat in his previous life, if his "Dragon" had ended directly in the fourth part, the reviews would definitely not be that bad.

If it ends in the third part, even if there is no fourth part, everyone will just feel sorry for it and complain about it without having too many negative comments about him.

There are also some that are just launching sequels, and their reputations will also collapse.

This was the case with "Dragon Ball" in the previous life. If there was no sequel "Dragon Ball Super", the reputation would probably be better.

The worst thing is that some well-known cartoonists released new works, and their popularity dropped drastically, and they were cut in half.

For example, "Naruto" author Masashi Kishimoto's follow-up work "Hachimaruden", although the artist is not the artist, the setting and storyboards of the story are all done by Masashi Kishimoto.

However, the follow-up response of this work was mediocre, with sales of less than 20,000 copies in the first week. Due to the large printing volume of one issue, there was even an embarrassing situation where "Hachimaruden" was hoarded in bookstores because it could not be sold. Later, it was directly released in the second issue. Five of them were cut in half.

Anyway...it's pretty miserable.

This is what comics are like. No matter how great the author's previous works are, if the popularity of the later works is too low, they should be cut in half. I won't tell you about human nature and sophistication.

However, if it were not for the name of Masashi Kishimoto, a series like "Hachimaruden" would probably be cut in half before the fifth part of the series...

Therefore, cartoonists like Lin Qingshan who are continuously productive and have excellent quality of works are indeed too rare.

Even "Parasite" exploded in popularity this week due to the story of Guan Gangzhi's death, and returned to the third most popular position.

Can you say that the comic "Parasite" is bad?

You don't even have the qualifications to be cut in half, how can you still say that Lin Qingshan's comic is bad?

In this way, Feng Yiyuan's thoughts are very understandable.

Yes, it is a good thing to have self-awareness and choose to retreat bravely.

At the very least, Feng Yiyuan will have a very good reputation, and fans will only regret why he stopped creating, instead of complaining that he has exhausted his talent.

"Teacher is indeed very open-minded... Then I wish you all the best."

Lin Qingshan said with emotion.

"On the one hand, I don't want to cause any more criticism."

Feng Yiyuan continued to smile and said, "On the one hand, I actually have the intention to seek Taoism. I think I will probably enter a Taoist temple to meditate for a period of time."

This is indeed unexpected.

Lin Qingshan thought that Feng Yiyuan's interest in Taoism was just a superficial taste.

Unexpectedly... Feng Yiyuan was serious.

But it is precisely because of this Taoist character of governing by doing nothing that I made the decision to retreat bravely.

Ordinary cartoonists may be really obsessed with their own reputation, confident that they will always be successful, and choose to start new works.

But Feng Yiyuan saw himself clearly and no longer clung to it, so he planned to retire after his success.

"But... Qingshan, do you remember what you promised me?"

Feng Yiyuan said with a smile at this time.

"Forehead……"

Lin Qingshan has the ability of [Hard Drive Memory (Diamond)], which is a permanent memory. Naturally, he easily remembered his previous conversation with Feng Yiyuan and said, "Teacher, are you talking about my cultivation-themed comics?"

"Yes, "Parasite" is almost finished, right?"

Feng Yiyuan said with a smile, "If you don't move the map in the future... I think this is not your style. You will always have an enterprising heart and will never be satisfied with standing still... Well, it sounds shameless. Water drama makes money.”

"Actually, I plan to continue serializing the second part of "Chainsaw Man" after "Parasite" is finished in a while."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said.

With the ability of [Prophet Dream (Master)], he recently got a lot of plots for the future "Chainsaw Man" part 2 in his dreams, and he just planned to go back and fill this hole.

Yang Dahai, who had been silent on the side, suddenly became excited when he heard Lin Qingshan's words.

Although the popularity of "Parasite" is not low, in his opinion, it is still not as good as continuing to serialize the second part of "Chainsaw Man".

And Lin Qingshan was finally willing to come back to fill the hole, and he was so excited.

"Really? The second part of "Chainsaw Man"... Okay then."

Feng Yiyuan was a little helpless and said, "But I actually really want to see a comic about cultivation in your style. It must be very interesting."

"Since the teacher said so."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "Then... I will serialize a new comic for my next comic, and I actually have an idea."

"Huh? Qingshan, don't...because my words are too forced."

Feng Yiyuan said quickly, "I don't mean to force myself on you..."

"No, it's just that Teacher, you just reminded me of...an idea."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile, "This comic... must be very interesting and make my fans like it very much, so I also want to draw it."

"Ah? An interesting comic about cultivation?"

Feng Yiyuan smiled hoarsely and said, "Yes, Qingshan, your comics have always been interesting... But because of my words, you changed your mind, and I have to take some responsibility. In this case... Then "Purple Air East" Come, I will help you build momentum during this time."

"Chief Editor Yang... after the completion of "Purple Air Comes from the East", can you transfer the promotional treatment of my new work to Qingshan?"

He asked Yang Dahai with a smile.

Feng Yiyuan has a very high status in the comics industry. Once he finishes "Purple Energy from the East" and starts a new work, his treatment will be similar to the promotional treatment for some popular comics that are about to be completed.

This treatment is almost equivalent to the treatment enjoyed by "Chainsaw Man" when the first part was completed.

"Ah? You don't need this, right?"

Lin Qingshan said with some embarrassment.

"Well..."

Yang Dahai thought for a while and said, "Since the teacher from the Phoenix Academy said it, of course it can be convenient for me."

"Then I'll trouble Editor-in-Chief Yang."

Feng Yiyuan said with a smile, "And Qingshan... You don't have to be embarrassed. This is also some compensation I give you. After all, "Chainsaw Man" has a very high popularity base. If you start a new game because of my words, it will be There is no advantage..."

"By the way, have you finalized the name of your new work?"

he asked, smiling expectantly again.

Lin Qingshan chuckled and said, "I've already thought of the name, the setting and plot, so it's called... "The Weird Immortal"!"

His eyes were bright and he said with great anticipation.

However, Feng Yiyuan, Ning Zhizu and Yang Dahai all felt a little strange when they heard it.

"Tao Wei... Yi Xian?"

Why does Feng Yiyuan feel that there is something wrong with this name? !
