Chapter 897 Scene 897 The Great Discussion of the Whole People
The plot of the death of this horrific protagonist made everyone's hearts cold when they looked at it...... In fact, the plot of the protagonist's "death" is not the first time that "Attack on Titan" has appeared, just like "Captain America" and "Superman", which are popular comics that sweep the world, the invincible superheroes will die......
Let's take a look at how other manga artists have dealt with it, the most obvious is that the author of "Naruto" Kishimoto is so gentle, even after the despair of the Hokage's entire village being destroyed by Payne, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, in order to prevent any of the popular characters from dying, he resurrected everyone in the Naruto Village with a strange plot, so as to carefully protect the fragile and kind hearts of readers......
Let's take a look at Li Xiaole...... Li Xiaole has been killing all the characters without emotion...... He wantonly spreads his most cruel and cold-blooded fangs, death...... There are constant deaths, civilians are dying, soldiers are dying, men are dying, women are dying...... The death was more miserable than the other, being bitten to death by giants, being shot to death by giants, trampling to death by giants, and being tortured to death by giants...... The corpse is shattered, the internal organs are falling apart, and the blood is gushing out, never to be seen......
The character, who had just developed a relationship, died in the blink of an eye, and the reader could only watch him being torn apart by the giant...... Helpless...... Resurrection? In this world, there is no such thing at all, there is only constant death, and in this world of giants, the only thing people can expect is that their favorite characters can die less cruelly...... You can keep a whole corpse!
In this world, all the characters are almost desperate in the position of the weak, in this world, human beings actually have no hope at all, some are just the luxury of living one day at a time, and even when death is imminent, human beings think more about "dying with their families"......
This kind of fear seduces the fragility of the hearts of the people who see it, in fact, as long as people live in this world, people have to face all kinds of fears every day, it seems that our whole life is to overcome all kinds of fears, although in various fictional stories the protagonist has fought this fear, but in fact, but in fact, you can never really defeat fear, what you can do is nothing more than to put fear aside for a while, nothing more than let fear temporarily put aside, until one day you find that he is unavoidable......
Li Xiaole is so cruel to present these in front of everyone, which makes it impossible to escape......
Yes, this is completely counterintuitive! But everyone seems to be eating this set, although there are many people who abuse "What kind of shit plot is this?" on the Internet. "How can you let the protagonist die!?" But there are also a considerable number of comic book fans who have never seen this kind of plot, and many of them have begun to vote for "Attack on Titan".
For this Chinese's "cruel comic in history", the print media also began to attack Li Xiaole, and the Asahi Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun both reported on the incident, each of which described "Attack on Titan" as a "Chinese director who spreads terror" and "The "Midnight Bell" in the manga industry" as the title to describe "Attack on Titan".
The results of the comments in the article are surprisingly unanimous, and they all think: "Li Xiaole did not hesitate to use this way of killing the protagonist in order to win the bet with the media, and gained short-term popularity, we can only say that this director is an unscrupulous person for his own interests, he not only erased the future of this comic, but also wasted the brainchild of Isayama Chuang, Gui Zheng and the two cartoonists, such a person with commercial interests as the core, should be driven out of the comic industry~!! ”
But at the same time, on the other hand, Shueisha fell into a burst of ecstasy, because of the social topicality caused by "Attack on Titan", the sales of "Shonen Jump" rose from 2.71 million in the previous issue to 3.12 million in this issue!!! This is the first increase since the peak of sales in 1994!! This means that Li Xiaole's hugely controversial comic has brought hundreds of thousands of new readers!?
In addition to Li Xiaole's expectations, this achievement frightened Isayama Chuang, Ninomiya and others, and even Gui Zhenghe was stunned, even "Movie Girl" and "IS" at his peak "have never achieved such amazing results......
Many of these "new readers" are actually loyal fans of "Shonen Jump" in the past, and because they are tired of the blood-hot manga genre stories as adults and after work, they rarely read manga works anymore, but this time they are interested in the strange manga of "Attack on Titan" and want to buy it again.
Many people are curious about this "serialized for three weeks, with a record number of character deaths, and even the death of the protagonist" comic, and they can't stop watching it.
How can cult comics reach this point? This is really unexpected, and for the popularity of this "desperate horror manga" all over Japan, even many white-collar workers and young people have begun to wonder how this story will develop.
Although this comic has a huge impact, you must know that Li Xiaole's bet is about the popularity of the other three works within a month, and now it is only 3 weeks, and the protagonist has died, can he continue the attraction by constantly conveying the horror of death? What about the fourth week?
"This is a good topic of conversation, and we must take the opportunity to heat up this question." At the Shueisha meeting, Li Xiaole looked at everyone and said, "I need all departments of Shueisha to promote this topic together." ”
"Okay, everything will be done according to Director Li's intentions~~" Shueisha President Hideki Yamashita had already tasted the sweetness, slapped the table excitedly on the spot, and decided to concentrate all Shueisha's resources and focus on "Attack on Titan".
Now on Google Japan, the most popular searches, except for the first place "smap member Tsuyoshi Kusahiko." Outside of the scandal of "Drunk Walking Birds in the Park Naked", the top five are: "Attack on Titan 7th Spoiler" and "Is Eren Really Dead!?" "Amazing event! The manga protagonist is dead! "Li Xiaole uses the death of the protagonist to increase popularity." These are messages related to Attack on Titan.
In fact, in the past two weeks, all major media in Japan have been focusing on reporting on the popularity ranking of "Attack on Titan", and they are waiting to see Li Xiaole lose the bet, stop the "Slam Dunk" movie, and end lonely......
With the huge effect of the three-week manga series on manga fans, Fuji TV's talk show "National Meeting" also made a special program.
"As you all know, the comic "Attack on Titan" suddenly became popular during this time due to the public bet of the famous director Li Xiaole, and we want to talk about a topic today, that is, in the comic "Attack on Titan", will the protagonist Allen be resurrected~~?
In the studio of Fuji TV, a male host with an extremely exaggerated expression excitedly introduced to the camera: "For this reason, today we specially invited three famous manga artists, Yoshihiro Tomiya, the author of "Hunter", Aoyama Gomasa, the author of "Detective Conan", and the author of "Saint Seiya", Masami Mada to discuss this topic. ”
As soon as the screen camera turned, I saw three famous cartoonists sitting on the sofa, their works and names quickly typed on the subtitles, and the audience in the studio cheered loudly.
The male host handed the microphone to Yoshihiro Fujiken, who was wearing a black T-shirt, and asked with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Fujien, have you watched "Attack on Titan"?" ”
Yoshihiro Tomiyasu nodded at the camera: "Well, I've been watching it, this manga is really good, and I admire the imagination of the person who wrote this story." The male host asked again: "What do you think is good about this comic?" It can make you like it all. ”
Yoshihiro Fujian touched it, thought about it and said: "I can't tell you the specifics, I think I should be too realistic in the story, I'm afraid I think the giants in it are actually our current humans, and the people in the castle are the animals on the earth, in fact, we are the 'giants' who destroy everything for animals, and it is this kind of realistic significance, this comic is obviously a ......lot more than other works."
"Why didn't you write this kind of story?" The moderator asked curiously.
"I want to write too, but I'm afraid I'll kill me as an editor." Yoshihiro Fujian smiled helplessly: "I'm really curious about how Director Li Xiaole persuaded the editor of Shueisha, and I really want to ask him for advice." ”
The audience in the studio laughed, and the host then threw the question to Aoyama Gomasa, the author of "Detective Conan", and asked: "Aoyama-sensei, everyone knows that you are a master of detective reasoning, and now all comic fans are wondering, is Allen dead?" Is it possible that it was just a serious injury? What do you think is the answer? ”
"Of course it's dead?" Aoyama Gosho nodded without thinking about it, the author who drew "Detective Conan" took out a zoomed-in picture in a detective style, the picture was a close-up of the one where Allen was bitten by a giant, and then pointed to it and said, "You can take a look, on this picture, Allen's leg was broken first...... And then it was swallowed.,There were obviously details of being bitten by the giant's teeth before.,If this person hasn't died,,It will definitely be crippled.,I read Li Xiaole's story setting now.,He decided to be a realist.,Since the details are explained how obvious,It's absolutely impossible to be just seriously injured and rescued......"
