Is this cartoonist mentally ill?!

Chapter 23 this is a thought (Part 2)

After reading this answer from Lin Qingshan, Zhou Wenwei was immediately shocked.

It must be said that this creative concept is filled with a deep and unique meaning in this era when shounen manga are rampant.

And often everyone prefers this kind of works full of deep meaning and unique.

Especially for an adult reader like Zhou Wenwei, he is not a child. The comics, novels, movies and animations he prefers should not be like children playing house, without any deep meaning and stupid and direct.

In addition, it is difficult for a work that does not have a deep meaning, and it is simple and stupid to leave a deep impression on readers.

At least, in the period when ACG culture has been developing for some time, everyone is used to the old plot of a confrontation between a warm-blooded young man and an evil villain.

Therefore, if a general comic does not have a deep meaning, but has only a passionate plot and a good setting, it will only cause people to be uninterested.

On the contrary, it is the metaphors contained in certain works and the religious, realistic and mythological colors embodied in them that make people even more interested.

It is like a well-known anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion" by Lin Qingshan in his previous life. Why is this anime so popular with thousands of people?

In addition to its excellent plot, much of the reason is that it incorporates some religious and philosophical colors, conspiracy theories and religious discussions, which keep the popularity of this anime high.

There is also a Chinese comic "Super Beast Arms". Why will this ancient Chinese comic be so praised in the future?

Is it not because of the philosophical arrangement of the plot?

The lines of the protagonist and the villain full of philosophical meanings, as well as the inversion between the power of the villain and the protagonist group arranged in the second part, are things that people praise and pursue.

There is also the famous science fiction film "Prometheus". The reason this film has the highest score among the Alien film series is because it incorporates deep issues such as religion, philosophy, Human Origins, and reflections on life.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan's creative concept involves how future technology will affect human society, humanistic concerns, and concerns about society under capitalism, which is simply full of profound implications.

At least, when adult readers like Zhou Wenwei see this creative concept, they are very interested in "Edgerunner".

Not only him, but after this text interview appeared, most adult readers were very interested when they saw Lin Qingshan's answer.

There were even some passers-by who were not previously readers of "Edgerunner" and readers of other comics. After seeing Lin Qingshan's answer, they began to be interested in "Edgerunner" and pay attention to this work.

"No wonder the force said "Edgerunner" has deep intent. Turns out it is."

Zhou Wenwei said enthusiastically.

Then he came across the last question of the text interview.

"The last question, Mr. Qingshan, is also the thing readers most want to know. What is your idea for organizing the plot of the unexpected death of the mother of the protagonist David?"

"Oh, that's because the plot is like that. Against the background of Night City, the death of any person can be sudden, and there is another reason for the death of David's mother, namely, she did not die in a car accident. , but died at the hands of scavengers."

"Most of Night City's medicanics are vicious, low-level scum. They are used to attacking unsuspecting passersby or gangsters, collecting their cybernetic bodies and organs and selling them on the black market, a pile of a commodity that can be exchanged for money on the black market."

"And patients like Gloria, who can't afford much, think it's the same thing. They take apart the prosthetic body and sell it for money."

When Zhou Wenwei saw this answer, his hands could not help but tremble.

He never imagined that the death of David's mother was not due to a gang fight or the failure of the trauma team to save her.

Instead, he died at the hands of the seemingly harmless Medican.

No wonder... it is not for nothing that the Medican at the beginning of the comic said that David's mother was in good physical condition, but then she suddenly died.

It turns out that the Medican later changed his mind and disassembled the prosthetic body of David's mother and sold it for money, which led to the sudden death of David's mother.

However, it was this plot that made Zhou Wenwei feel even more scared and sad.

If David knew that his mother died not in a car accident, but in his own hands, he would definitely be very sore and sorry.

At the same time, Zhou Wenwei also felt that Qingshan, the author of "edgerunner", was a little…

Unusual.

Not only are the ideas and scenarios wild and unrestricted, but the plot arrangement is also completely different from ordinary people.

This is completely different from the ideas of ordinary comic book authors.

"Maybe geniuses are like that."

Zhou Wenwei lamented, "the serialization of"edgerunner" is really too slow. Can't it be serialized faster?"

…

And the other side.

At that time, there was an office building among the skyscrapers of Shanghai.

The young man in gold-rimmed glasses dropped the magazine into his hands with some hesitation: "it's a very good job, but why is it only serialized once every half a month?"

On the computer screen in front of you, there is a penguin client, and his penguin name is "King of Force".

He was the "King of Force "who was talking to Zhou Wenwei in the Penguin Group, and the comic book in his hands was"Comic World".

On his desk there is not just one copy of "Comic World", but seven books, and without exception, these are all serialized issues of"Edge Walker".

He really likes the sets of" Edge Walker", and the paintings of" edgerunner " are also quite exquisite. The neon city in the cyberpunk style, coupled with Lin Qingshan's painting skill, is simply gorgeous.

"Dong dong--"

There was a knock on the office door, "Mr. Liang."

"Come in. Liang Zhiyuan straightened up a little, cleared his throat and coughed, and answered.

Yes, 29-year-old Liang Zhiyuan is the CEO of a company.

It turns out that he relied more on family wealth to open the company, and also opened the company because of his own interests.

After all, he runs a game development company.

At this time, if those who develop games in China were not motivated by interest, who would do it?

To put it bluntly, Liang Zhiyuan is a second-generation rich son with big ambitions.

The office door was opened, and a young man in a suit entered with a document.

"Director Li, what's the matter?"

Liang Zhiyuan quickly entered working mode.

As for" edgerunner, " he put it aside for now.
