Chapter 145: Forget about the funny setting of the dark cooking world!
When Chen Mengguo first heard Xu Qingru talk about comic works with the theme of cooking, she was not so interested.
After all, this parallel world of China, but a big country of comics, like comic works with the theme of cooking, have long been popular like "glow cuisine", at least two or three are unshakable classics.
In such a situation, of course, she felt that this kind of "culinary theme" was a subject with little potential, so she naturally raised her concerns.
Xu Qingru patiently explained, and said the real highlight of this "Spirit of the Halberd", which is the combination of "food and sexy".
In the final analysis, it's to give Teacher Meng Guo a stage where she can give full play to her astringent skills.,On the surface, it seems to be a cooking fan.,In fact, it can sell meat just right!
Chen Mengguo's eyes lit up when she listened to it, in fact, when she was painting "Youth Love Song" before, she didn't sell less meat, and the editor also strongly supported it, so if she painted a work with a painting style like "The Spirit of the Halberd", it can indeed show her painting style to the extreme!
Xu Qingru continued: "Our country has been a big country of food since ancient times, and there are so many kinds of cuisine, so the materials for creation are also rich, and I happen to know a lot about cooking, so you don't have to worry about the creativity of the dishes." ”
In fact, in the Earth world, this "Halberd Spirit" has always been co-authored by a food researcher named "Yuki Morisaki", who thinks: "It's very novel to add something beautiful, such attractive characters and some sexy scenes to the food manga." And the food is the most gratifying, which is why I joined. ”
Recipes from simple to mature are also one of the charms of this work.
He added, "There are many ways to express food, and I admire Saeki's passion for cooking, and I think I will definitely be able to do a good job with the manga artists." I think there are still many areas to be developed in cuisine. ”
For the food in the manga, Yuto Sukita, with the help of Morisaki, "makes the manga protagonist's dishes like a magic drawer with a lot of creativity." ”
Okita often brainstormed with Morisaki, and got a lot of cooking ideas from it. These ideas are usually kept, and the duo check weekly to see if there are any dishes that can be used for the recreation of the plot.
Otsuda said that it is not difficult to create a food manga, and as a shonen manga, how to introduce new opponents, how to find the motives for the food halberd, and even the duel outside the kitchen, and integrate them into a good story is the really difficult thing.
Xu Qingru doesn't need any food researcher to assist, because she has the "Gate of Literature and Art" system, which can directly spend literary and artistic values to go to some "material worlds" specifically related to food to collect materials, and then these materials can be used in her modified version of "The Spirit of the Halberd".
In fact, the work of "The Spirit of the Halberd",It is undeniable that it was really wonderful in the beginning.,But then it was a little high and low.,It was originally set on the stage of the famous cooking school "Yuanyue Gakuen".,A middle school student who runs a restaurant at home - Kohei Soma.,Aiming for the father of the chef.,Continue to hone your cooking skills every day.。
One day,,His father asked him to enter the culinary school "Yuanyue School Park".。 Chuangzhen, who came to Yuanyue School Park, met a girl with a "tongue of God" - Erina Nagikiri, but the dishes made by Chuangzhen in the transfer exam were judged to be unqualified by Erina.
The setting of the male and female protagonists,It's still very interesting.,In the part of "Far Moon Academy",It's very exciting.。
But the follow-up plot direction has to be said to be a bit confusing.
I have to mention here a work that many people are familiar with, which is "The Little Master of China", or "China Yiban".
Once in "China Ichiban", the standard for judging the level of a dish can be intuitively reflected in the light and shadow effects when the pot is revealed, which is what everyone ridicules as "glowing cuisine".
"Zhonghua Ichiban", a comic that uses food to show blood, struggle, and even fighting against the underworld, left a deep impression on many early animation audiences.
Many viewers are curious to know whether Liu Pleiades can collect the legendary kitchenware and completely defeat the dark culinary world, but fortunately they don't know, because the original comic book of "China Banban" began to become more and more mysterious in the middle and late stages.
Take the dark culinary world that seems a little funny now, the final boss of this "main story dungeon" is a chef who can judge the deliciousness of dishes by hearing, and in short, he is a superpower who relies on hearing to cook, so when he heard the sound of Liu Pleiades cooking, he directly said that the quality of the three consecutive "skills are not as good as others, willing to bow to the wind, and say goodbye".
As a result, the author spent countless strokes and ink to render its powerful final boss, but in the end, he was defeated without a fight, making this most mysterious figure in the dark culinary world never show the audience a single cooking skill from beginning to end.
This is a point that readers of the "China Banban" comics often complain about, but in fact, the plot of this work is a foreshadowing, such as the fantasy legendary kitchenware, I believe it has left a deep impression on the animation audience.
And the work "The Spirit of the Halberd", its content at the beginning can be described as a very royal grassroots counterattack, coupled with the plot with the academy as the main line, it can be said to be very in line with the public's taste.
In the early stage of this work, it was indeed a steady and steady upgrade journey, but the plot suddenly accelerated in the middle of the work.
Originally, after the protagonist Kohei Chuangzhen challenged the ten heroes for the first time in the school festival,The whole work has been rendered into the atmosphere of starting to gradually challenge the strongest ten people in the academy.,But at this time, a new villain leader emerged.,Combined with some of the ten heroes to subvert the entire academy.,And pull the protagonist team directly into the all-out decisive battle with the ten masters.。
Most viewers can already guess that the protagonist team must win in the end, which means that the process of Chuangzhen from the grassroots to the top of the academy is far shorter than the audience imagined before, so the extremely abrupt appearance of the villain in the Far Moon Train chapter gives people a feeling that the plot is forcibly changing.
Who would have thought that the Ten Masters would be served in one pot?
And after the end of the Far Moon Train chapter, the new chapter, the plot went straight out, yes, the dark cooking world similar to "China Ichiban" may be late, but it will never be absent,
It's just that it has become the "Cooking World" in "The Spirit of the Halberd", and this group of chefs in the cooking world is called the Night Chefs.
Then, of course, all sorts of strange cooking methods appeared, and these tricks that transcended common sense were called "abilities" by the author.
And then in order to bring out the power of the night chef Boss, Chuangzhen's father, who has been touted as almost invincible, was directly defeated at the beginning.
Later, Blue, the biggest event in the culinary world mentioned at the end of the Far Moon Train chapter, also officially debuts, and it is only natural that the protagonist team will face off against the dark culinary world on this stage.
However, in addition to the protagonist team, the so-called world-class chefs in Blue are still just passers-by, and they don't even have a name, and the combat power system of "Halberd Spirit" basically collapsed at this moment.
Although the combat effectiveness in various works is actually the author's word, not to mention that "The Spirit of the Halberd" is still a delicacy that seems to be a battle.
But the problem is,The strength of the protagonist and even the entire protagonist team is expanding too fast.,It all started with the sudden acceleration of the plot of the Far Moon Train chapter.,Chuangzhen was still struggling to catch up with the turnover at the school festival.,As a result, in a blink of an eye, he launched a full-scale decisive battle with the Ten Heroes.,In the end, they were even served in a pot.。
After the end of the Far Moon Train chapter, all the protagonist teams have entered the seats of the Ten Masters, and after having a lot of power to do whatever they want, the author used this as a reason to upgrade the protagonist team in a comprehensive way.
As a result, in the world's top cooking competitions, the world's most famous chefs have become lunch box actors.
The boss of the dark culinary world, the righteous son of Chuangzhen's father, Caibo Chaoyang, has an ability that the audience is familiar with, as long as he obtains the opponent's kitchen utensils, he can steal the opponent's ability.
Therefore, as Blue advances all the way, both opponents and teammates who have failed have all become the nourishment of Caibo Chaoyang, including the father who is the former forced to take charge, and the former first Si Yingshi.
It is not difficult to see that the plot of the cooking world is actually still playing the creative concept of "The Spirit of the Halberd", that is, the grassroots counterattack genius, Chuangzhen's father has repeatedly emphasized that Chuangzhen does not have any abilities, and on the other hand, he has pushed Caibo Chaoyang's ability to the top of the world.
In other words, Chuangzhen suddenly jumped from the way to catch up with his father to the door of defeating the top of the world.
Looking back at the early plot of "The Spirit of the Halberd", although it is slightly exaggerated in terms of expression, the actual performance effect is quite excellent, both in terms of viewing experience and welfare.
But perhaps with the development of the plot, food researchers have begun to have some poor skills, so there is an increasingly magical worldview of the dark cuisine world.
Compared with the shocking enemy leader at the end of the original work of "China Yiban" who was defeated without a fight, although "The Spirit of the Halberd" has several plot twists that are quite blunt, it can be regarded as acceptable to the audience, but the magic of the latter is far lower than the former, which leads to the appearance of "The Spirit of the Halberd" in the culinary world, giving people a sense of comical that suddenly becomes essentially funny.
Xu Qingru believes that the essential reason for this kind of "high and low" and "later combat power collapse" is because the commercial performance of comics is too good, and the serialization time is too long.
"The Spirit of the Halberd" also happens to be a work on Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", Shueisha, you know, you know, in the later stages of "Dragon Ball" and "Death", they all dragged and dragged it, and Inoue Yuhiko forcibly finished "Slam Dunk" at the beginning, and broke with it.
And the extremely popular "Spirit of the Halberd" has been serialized for more than seven years, and it is normal to make a "dark cooking world" setting in the later stage.
But this time, she collaborated with Teacher Mengguo on this work.,Definitely won't engage in this kind of funny setting.,When it's time to finish.,Just finish it early.。
