Chapter Seventy-Three: Creating a 'Miracle' (1)
The story of the epic Gilgamesh is far more exciting than that of Lugalbanda.
Its story is a combination of friendship and heroism, fantasy and mystery of the gods, a struggle for the impermanence of life and death, and finally a strong desire to dominate destiny......
These themes in the epic "Gilgamesh" are the rhythm of a blockbuster film, even for now.
"Hero King...... Hero King ...... This heroic epic, which is centered on the oldest 'heroic king', does have the qualifications to become the second 'miracle work' of Sumerian civilization. β
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Fang Ye glanced at ten lines, and after reading the full text of the epic translated on the data, he sighed.
But then he noticed something special about the epic Gilgamesh.
For example, the protagonist of this epic, Gilgamesh, is based on the fifth Sumerian king who ruled Uruk around 2700 BC, and his father is the fourth Sumerian king, Lugalbanda.
Is it a coincidence or a coincidence that the two Sumerian kings are the prototypes of the two 'miracles'?
Fang Ye was a little concerned, but when he saw the second side and the end, the information didn't elaborate too much on this point.
"It's a pity ......"
Faintly feeling that there must be something related to this, he sighed helplessly, and seemed to think of something, took the tablet on the table, and quickly searched the web for the two keywords "Lugalbanda" and "Gilgamesh".
But the results of the Internet search made him disappointed.
In addition to introducing these two epics as literary works from the Sumerian civilization, there is a lot of information on the Internet that no one wants to find, and there is no mention of the fact that the epics "Lugalbanda" and "Gilgamesh" are all "miracles".
"Was it dropped by the government? But why should they hide this 'miracle' that has long been buried in the past...... Is there anything you can't let the public know?!"
Fang Ye thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up thinking due to lack of information, but it didn't mean that the previous information was meaningless to him.
At least let him know that in this world, the appearance of the 'miracle work' was a long, long time ago, which shows that this world has been very different from his previous life since ancient times, and even means other more terrible things.
That is the cultural treasure of some ancient civilization in a past life β such as an epic poem, or perhaps a fresco...... This kind of work is no longer just a masterpiece of those ancient civilizations in this world, but more likely to have been a 'miracle work', and their existence has promoted human history far more terrifyingly than those who also existed in Fang Ye's previous life......
Imagine, in the ancient human civilization, the carrier of the 'miracle work' was an epic, and in modern times, the carrier of the 'miracle work' has become a novel and a comic, and its existence is like human civilization, constantly evolving and developing......
Fang Ye, who knew the meaning behind this, continued to pick up the second piece of information paper and read it.
"About creating a 'miracle work'?!"
Seeing the title on this document, he smiled, it was finally his turn to use the information that could be useful right now.
"Since the 'miracle work' was confirmed, no work has ever been achieved overnight, and it has become a 'miracle work......' after a long period of dissemination, recognition and praise after reaching a certain critical point."
He read it softly, and the beginning of the document matched what Asakami Orihime had said to him, and it confirmed some of his previous conjectures.
No work becomes a 'miracle' in one step!
This is the first point of consensus that has been recognized by the whole world.
But the "One Punch Man" painted by Fang Ye broke this cognition.
"When we reach the tipping point where we can become a 'miracle', we call it 'popularity'. However, according to the comparison of various 'miracles', until today, it is impossible to accurately measure the 'popularity'. β
Reading this calendar, Fang Ye paused, at this time he had long known the importance of popularity to the 'miracle work', but he thought that the world could have an accurate measure of the so-called popularity of the work, but he was disappointed after all.
"Alas, too, popularity is an intangible and virtual thing, which not only represents the degree of popularity of a certain work, but it is difficult to be concretely revealed. β
Secretly sighed that he was still too naΓ―ve Fang Ye, and looked down after sighing.
"In addition to the fact that 'miracles' are not achieved overnight, its creator has never been a newcomer to the industry, and every master who creates a 'miracle', even if he is talented, has achieved a high status through great hard work.
Therefore, popularity is a very important condition for every creator who aspires to create a 'miracle work'.
In order to gather popularity, some masters will choose some themes with a wider audience when they are still newcomers, so that they can be known and noticed by the outside world first, until they become a popular cartoonist. β
"Hmm...... I see," Fang Ye frowned and pondered at first, and then seemed to have figured it out immediately, "Just like Master Akira Toriyama, he first created the sci-fi theme and funny shonen manga "Aralei", this excellent work made him quickly famous, and laid a good foundation for the popularity of "Dragon Ball" later. β
"Popular work, popular cartoonist...... In fact, the two can feed each other, a popular work can make a new cartoonist famous, and a popular cartoonist can make his new work quickly gain high popularity attention......"
Fang Ye suddenly put down the paper in his hand, "Then what will be my situation...... The first "One Punch Man" is already a miracle work, and if the second part is still a miracle work, under their interaction, it can't be 1+1=2, right?"
