Chapter 123: The First Issue and the Comic Society
Friday, November 1.
At this point in time, the provinces of the Dragon Kingdom were still in hot temperatures, and the scorching sun of the early morning was scorching the earth.
But Song Kun got up early, washed and dressed up and went out immediately.
After all, he has been thinking about the author Yuanqing for more than half a year, and finally the new work is released today.
Recalling his state throughout the year last year, Song Kun still feels a little funny.
Inexplicably, I saw a single book of youth journey in the bookstore, and I immediately became a fan of the family source of the southern province.
Later, he was even more obsessed with the unheard flower name created by Shangyuan Qing.
When he knew that Yuan Qing was a cute girl in high school, Song Kun once imagined that he would one day have a beautiful encounter with Yuan Qing at a fan meeting, and then fall in love with her like Li.
Then, when I watched the live TV broadcast half a year ago, I was confused and collapsed when I found out that Yuan Qingzhen was actually a man.
But half a year has passed, those are all in the past, and his love for the works created by Yuan Qing will not be changed by whether "Yuan Qing" is male or female.
"Parasitic beast!"
Song Kun silently recited the name in his heart.
If there is a new serialization in the journal "Liulise", it will still be warmed up and promoted two issues in advance.
Although I don't know for what reason, Song Kun always felt that the "Liuli" journal had little publicity for Yuan Qing's new work this time.
The new serialization did not put up posters in various bookstores, and the front page of the journal did not give a big close-up of the work.
Even on the official website of Liuli Publishing House, the publicity and introduction of the work "Parasitic Beast" is very remote.
However, Song Kun still has high expectations for this one.
After all, the pen name "Yuanqing" now has a high weight in his mind.
Although Yuan Qing is not a first-line writer in the Dragon Kingdom now, many first-line writers are not as good as Yuan Qing in Song Kun's eyes.
When he came to the bookstore, Song Kun paid seventeen dragon coins to buy a glass-colored periodical.
There are as many as 20 works serialized in this periodical, six of which have been published in the top journal of Liuli Publishing House, "Liuli".
However, the popularity of serialization is not up to standard, so it was cut to "Glass Color" by the book club and serialized.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the popularity of these six works is slightly lacking in "Glass", but they have obvious advantages in popularity in "Glass".
Song Kun flipped the table of contents to the page of "Parasitic Beast" while walking on the road.
tale
It started with an ordinary glasses high school student "Shinyi" (Izumi Shinichi).
At the beginning of the story, the world is described from the side, and some inexplicable changes are taking place in society.
In the city, there are some man-eating monsters hidden.
And when Zim Yi got up in the morning, he found that there was an indifferent voice around him.
He thought he was hallucinating, so he didn't care.
At the beginning, he used some space to introduce the worldview and the interpersonal relationship of the male protagonist Xinyi.
His steady, reliable father, gentle and generous mother, and his female friend Li Mei (Satomi Murano), whom he has a crush on at school.
Some of the opening texts are Song Kun's familiar foreshadowing plot.
After all, it is Yuan Qing, and everyone understands his works, and slow heat is an eternal theme.
It depends on how many chapters he has to heat up slowly before it starts to break out.
But
After Song Kun continued to watch, soon, his attention was attracted by the plot.
It depicts what happened last night from the perspective of God in flashback.
While he was asleep in his dream, a strange creature resembling a bullnose worm sneaked into his home, and
The goal is clear, directly from his nose, invading his brain.
But after being sneezed out by him, he was ready to bite into his right arm and invade his brain.
However, Zim reacted quickly and tied his arm with a rope to limit the intrusion of the bugs
Then, just when his parents burst into his room thinking he had some accident.
The bite wound on his arm was gone, and even his parents thought he was hallucinating after taking illegal drugs.
Song Kun thought that this would be as plain as Yuan Qing before, but
Unexpectedly, after seeing a thousand words, he was immersed in the plot.
The right hand will automatically control the phone when he dozes off, and
When Xin Yi saw that the little girl was about to be hit by a vehicle and subconsciously went to save the little girl, his right hand took the initiative to react and block in front of him, like an iron pillar, forcing the speeding vehicle to stop with his body
"I'll go, what is this?" Song Kun blinked.
"Teacher Yuanqing, this is not depressed? Ready to write about bloody battles? ”
This kind of plot opening made Song Kun subconsciously think that this was a bloody battle.
No matter how stupid Xin Yi is, he must have found out that something was wrong with his right hand at this time, and when he returned home, under the threat of Xin Yi not hesitating to stab his right hand with a knife.
In his right hand, a mouth with sharp teeth and pupils with a cold look appeared, and
Will talk to Xinyi.
His right hand is parasitized by a monster, and his right hand can be controlled by himself in normal times, but if that monster has this will, he can immediately take over the control of Xinyi's right hand, swipe his mobile phone, read books, watch the news, and even automatically transform his mouth to eat.
"Holy, this is the setting." Song Kun's whole person suddenly came to the spirit.
"The male protagonist, this is an extra magical right hand?"
Because of the failure of the parasitic brain, he was forced to parasitize the "parasitic beast" Xiao Right of the male owner's right hand, and the male protagonist Xin Yi, who was not known so, but was forced to call the community of destiny with the little right.
One to survive, the other to save his right hand.
Although they were suspicious of each other, they had to accept each other.
"From now on, we have to work together and live together, and there is no other way."
The mouth simulated by Xinyi's right hand made an indifferent sound.
But Xinyi, who was already in an extremely bad mood, was even more angry when he heard this.
"Oh, that's an interesting setting!"
Song Kun saw the present all the way, and the more he watched it, the more he felt that this setting was quite innovative.
until
He saw the end of the first chapter.
In the alley near the house
A dog, eating its kind.
Seeing this, he paused slightly.
The dog that was found had several pieces of its head split open and reorganized its body into various forms.
Blades, daggers, clubs, and even the dog's head grew fleshy wings and flew straight into the sky towards Sinyi
A battle broke out between the two sides.,But after all,This kind of mini-boss monster that appeared in the first chapter readers understand.,That's basically the protagonist's experience pack.,Let the protagonist show the existence of it.。
Xiao You's right hand controlled Xin Yi's turned into a sharp claw, and one hand soared more than ten meters, piercing the heart of the dog parasitized by the parasitic beast.
After reading the first chapter of the parasitic beast, Song Kun felt unfinished.
However, there is also a little bit of discomfort.
Frankly.
The first chapter of the parasitic beast is very interesting, the setting, the world view or something is refreshing to him.
In particular, parasitic beasts are hidden in human society, perhaps a dog, a mouse, a cockroach.
But as soon as you are alone, when you encounter an individual parasitized by these creatures, they will open their big mouths to you and take a bite. Bite your skull to pieces.
This type is still very rare in the Dragon Kingdom.
But
In the major forums of the Dragon Kingdom, in Yuanqing's fan base, many fans have already started a heated discussion on the first chapter of the parasitic beast.
"It feels different from what I imagined Mr. Yuanqing's new work."
"I actually hope that Mr. Yuanqing will create a film that moves everyone like going to the moon, rather than writing a battle theme."
"Where can I see that this one is a combat theme?"
"How else can you guess this? The plot behind this is probably that the protagonist and the parasitic beast Xiaoyou fight side by side, defeat countless of their kind, and then reach the peak of human power."
"Don't use your concept and experience to measure Teacher Yuanqing! At the beginning of the serialization on the moon, there were many people who sprayed Mr. Yuanqing, this will collapse, and the results of going to the moon in the back are obvious to all. ”
"Honestly, I think parasitic beasts are interesting! Much more interesting than the first chapter of Going to the Moon and Unheard of Flower Names. ”
"But I went to the moon from him to the pit, and I still want him to write the second part of the moon. Although he doesn't want to be abused by him, he will feel a little lost if he purely transforms into a hot-blooded combat writer. ”
"Actually, everyone's main reason is that the stamina of going to the moon has not been eliminated, and now I see that Mr. Yuanqing will use it and go to the moon after all."
"Anyway, I support Teacher Yuanqing, and the first chapter of the serialization is so picky, besides. This kind of fantasy theme is not necessarily really bloody fighting, and the ghost knows whether the plot of Teacher Yuanqing will be abused. ”
"Hahaha, there shouldn't be a depressing plot in this parasitic beast. It's just some monster eating people in the city."
Overall, the first chapter of Parasitic Beast has a good review.
Xia Yan's fans complained and complained, but they were quite accepting of this work as a whole.
After all, it's only the first chapter, and the reader doesn't want to see any ups and downs and touching plots in the first chapter.
It took seven chapters to pave the way to the moon, so that the reader could explode emotionally in the plot of the eighth chapter, and the unheard name paved the whole plot, only at the last moment.
And the parasitic beast
On the surface, it is a work in which humans and monsters fight.
But in fact, the author introduces a discussion of the meaning of human existence on this planet in every detail of the work.
To humans, parasitic beasts are evil monsters, but what kind of existence are humans to the other thousands of species on the planet?
This work is an excellent work that will make those who have seen it think about these issues in every sense.
Just like the Fullmetal Alchemist, it would be too shallow if you only saw the scene of its bloody battle, and the reason why Steelforge can be called a masterpiece is still too touching in the discussion of human nature.
Ι
But now.
The work of Parasitic Beast can only be said to be still laying out the worldview.
After the first chapter was serialized, everyone's senses only stayed at a decent level.
The next day, the data of the twenty serialized films on "Glass Color" was released.
The first issue of the parasitic beast series.
The 14th place in the voting order in the journal is the 14th place.
For a book club that doesn't give much publicity resources, this voting data is actually quite good.
After all, Xia Yan went to the moon and unheard of the name of the flower to accumulate a lot of fans, and the average sales of both volumes exceeded five million copies.
Even the authors of the top works in the journal "Glass" did not sell as many of the best works in their careers as they did in the Moon and Unheard of Flowers.
Bai Xuan, as the signing agent of this work, was also relieved at this time.
Send the data information to Xia Yan.
Fourteenth?
Xia Yan looked at the score information sent on his mobile phone, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Anyway, he didn't expect this to have much impact in the first chapter, and he must be calm at this time.
"So said it. Do you remember this sound? ”
In the activity classroom of the manga club
Directly in front of the classroom, Mo Ran, who controls the electronic piano, taps her fingers on the keys after striking a note.
Mo Ran's voice suddenly intensified.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." Xia Yan looked at Mo Ran's beautiful face with a slight anger, and hurriedly coaxed her.
After all, after joining the comic club, she bothered her to teach herself some music theory knowledge that didn't have much to do with comics, and it took up other people's time and got distracted, which is really not good.
"Alas"
was interrupted by Xia Yan in a daze, and Mo Ran also sat on the chair and sighed.
"What's the matter, Senior Sister Moran?" Xia Yan asked when he saw the sadness on her expression.
"My comic manuscript has been rejected again." Mo Ran lay on the table and said a little boredly.
"These comic magazine companies in the magic capital really have no vision, they submitted to four companies, none of them passed, and the students in the school also had no vision, and all the students went to join the painting club, and they didn't come to join our comic club."
"Actually, I've always had a question I want to ask you, senior sister." After Xia Yan saw Mo Ran's expression, he paused and asked.
"If you want to be a cartoonist, wouldn't running this comic club be a waste of your time? It's been two months since school started, and the club can't recruit new people at all, so why not just disband it and concentrate on drawing comics? ”
"How can that work? I'm going to be sprayed to death by the seniors" Mo Ran's eyes glanced at Xia Yan.
"People just graduated, so I dismantled the comic club I inherited from them"
"The problem now is that the number of members of the club is insufficient, and if there is no progress in the activities of the comic club, the student council will order us to disband the comic club."
"So the result of the activity is the work of our club, can it be considered a success if it can be serialized in a comic magazine?" Xia Yan asked suspiciously.
"That's right,This is one of the full names of our club, the comic research club.,Last year, there were only four people in our club.,Everyone gets together all day to read comics.,Talk about two-dimensional topics.,Just because the former president has a comic work that is being serialized.,So. Alas. But this year, he graduated! Mo Ran said.
"Serialized in the magazine of the Dragon Country manga industry. The threshold, is it high? Xia Yan asked curiously.
He has been focusing on the world for more than a year, the comic industry. I really don't understand it.
I read manga on weekdays, but I don't pay attention to anything other than the content of manga.
"Competitive pressure words. It's about the same as the industry. After glancing at Xia Yan, Mo Ran's eyes suddenly became even more deflated.
"Forget it, how can a person like you, who can easily serialize light works in the Liuli Book Society, pay attention to my troubles?"
"Where is it easy. My new work is a parasitic beast.,But it was submitted to the serialization meeting four times in a row before it was passed through the serialization.。 Xia Yan said with a smile.
Xia Yan actually got along with Mo Ran for a week, and she had a pretty good sense of this senior sister.
Beautiful, generous, and very helpful.
Although Xia Yan contacted her for the purpose of learning music theory and painting knowledge at first, but now, seeing her so troubled about this matter, I am also a little curious.
"Senpai, your comics. Could you please let me have a look? ”
Xia Yan paused for a moment and took the initiative to ask
There's one more chapter that I'll just leave tomorrow for daylight. Adjust my schedule, it's not good to sleep at one or two o'clock every day, I still go to bed early and get up early during the day to make the owe a little better.
(End of chapter)
