897. Chapter 897 Scene 897: The National Discussion
This horrifying plot of the protagonist's death, but everyone felt a chill in their hearts... In fact, the plot of the protagonist's "death" is not the first time "Attack on Titan". In the world-storming comics like Captain America and Superman, the invincible superheroes will die. If it were ordinary Japanese comics, people would not take this plot seriously...
Let’s see how other cartoonists deal with it. The most obvious is that the author of "Naruto" is as gentle as Shishi Kishimoto. Even after the despair of the entire Naruto village being destroyed by the leader of the Akatsuki organization, in order not to let any popular character die, he resurrected everyone in the Naruto village with a strange plot, so as to carefully protect the fragile and kind hearts of readers...
Look at Li Xiaole again... Li Xiaole has been killing all characters without emotion... He is showing off his cruelest and cold-blooded fangs,? Death... Continuous deaths, civilians die, soldiers die, men die, women die... One is more miserable than the other, he is bitten to death by a giant, slapped by a giant, trampled by a giant, tortured by a giant... The body is broken, the internal organs fall apart, plasma gushes, and never keeps his eyes closed...
The character who had just cultivated good feelings died in a blink of an eye. The reader could only watch him being torn to pieces by a giant... There was no way to resurrect? There was no such thing in this world, there was only constant death. In this world where giants were rampant, the only thing people could expect was that the character they like could die was not so cruel... and could leave a whole body!
In this world, in the position of weak people with almost despair, in this world, humans actually have no hope. There is only a luxury to live one day. Even when death is about to come, humans think more about "died with their families"...
This fear seduces the fragility in the hearts of the people who see it. In fact, as long as you live in this world, people have to face all kinds of fears every day. It seems that our life is to overcome all kinds of fears. Although the protagonists have fought for this fear in various fictional stories, in fact, you can never truly overcome fear. What you can do is to put fear aside for the time being, or to put fear aside for the time being, until one day you find that it is inescapable...
Li Xiaole presented these to everyone so cruelly, making people unable to escape...
Yes, this is completely contrary to common sense! But everyone seems to be just taking this trick. Although many people yell at the Internet, "What kind of shit plot is this?" "How can the protagonist die??" But there are also a considerable number of comic fans who have never seen such a plot, and many of them have begun to vote for "Attack on Titan".
For this Chinese "cruel comic in history", the graphic media began to attack Li Xiaole. The Asahi Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun reported this incident, and each described the title "Chinese director who spreads terror" and "Midnight Bell in the comics industry" as the titles "Attack on Titan" to describe the soaring popularity.
The results of the comments in the article are surprisingly consistent, and they all believe that: "In order to win the bet with the media, Li Xiaole did not hesitate to use this way to kill the protagonist and gain short-term popularity. We can only say that this director is a person who uses any means for his own interests. He not only erased the future of this comic, but also wasted the hard work of the two comics, Tsubasa Isaiyama and Katsumasa and the two comics. In this way, people with commercial interests as the core should be kicked out of the comics world~!!"
But at the same time, ShueiShe fell into a sensation because of the social topic caused by "Attack on Titan". "Young Jump" increased from 2.71 million in the last issue to 3.12 million in this issue!!! This is the first increase since the peak sales volume in 1994! This means that Li Xiaole, a comic that caused huge controversy, has brought hundreds of thousands of new readers!?
Except for Li Xiaole who had expected this, this result scared Isaiyama Tsuna, Ninomiya and others, and even Gui Zhenghe was shocked. Even "The Girl of Movie" and "IS" at his peak had not achieved such amazing results...
In fact, many of these "new readers" are loyal fans of "Youth Jump". Because they were tired of stories about blood-hot comics after adulthood and work, they rarely read comic works. However, this time they became interested in the strange comic "Attack on Titan" and wanted to buy them again to see what happened.
Many people are curious about this comic "Three weeks of serialization, the number of characters' deaths set a record, and even the protagonist's death was killed in the front line" and can't stop after watching it.
The evil comics can actually reach this point? This is really unexpected. The popularity of this "desperate horror comic" in Japan, and even many white-collar workers and young people have begun to wonder how this story will continue to develop.
Although this comic has a huge impact, you should know that Li Xiaole's bet was to be popular with the other three works within a month. It is only 3 weeks now, and the protagonist died. Can he continue to rely on the continuous transmission of the horror of death to continue the attraction? What should I do in the fourth week?
"This is a very good topic. We must take the opportunity to make this question more popular." Li Xiaole looked at everyone at the Jiyingshe meeting and said, "I need all departments of Jiyingshe to promote this topic together."
"Okay, everything will be done according to Director Lee's wishes~~" President Shiki Yamashita President Yamashita Hideki had already tasted the sweetness, and slapped the table on the spot, and decided to concentrate all Shueisha's resources and focus their publicity on "Attack on Titan".
Now Google Japan, the most popular searches, in addition to the scandal of the first place "Smap member Kaoru Gang, drunk in the park, walking birds naked", the top five are: "Attack on Titan Episode 7 spoilers" and "Is Allen really dead!?", "Amazing incident! The protagonist of the comics died!" "Li Xiaole used the death of the protagonist to increase popularity." These news related to "Attack on Titan".
The attitude of the Japanese media became awkward when the whole nation was discussing the plot of this comic. In fact, in the past two weeks, major Japanese media were focusing on reporting on the popularity rankings of "Attack on Titan", and were waiting in their hearts to see Li Xiaole lose the bet and terminate the movie "Slam Dunk", which ended in a lonely way, but everyone never expected that things would develop like this...
With the huge effect of the three-week comic serialization among comic fans, Fuji TV's talkative program "National Controversy" also made a special program.
"Everyone knows that the comic "Attack on Titan" suddenly became popular during this period due to the public bet of the famous director Li Xiaole. Today we are going to talk about a topic, that is, will the protagonist Allen be resurrected in the comic "Attack on Titan"?
In the studio of Fuji TV, a male host with extremely exaggerated expressions introduced excitedly to the camera: "To this end, we specially invited three famous cartoonists, "The Hunter" author Yoshihiro Tomoya, "Detective Conan" author Takamasa Aoyama, and "Saint Seiya" author Masami Cheda to discuss this topic."
As soon as the screen shot turned, three famous cartoonists sitting on the sofa quickly typed their works and names on the subtitles, and the audience in the studio cheered loudly.
The male host handed the microphone to Yoshihiro Tokuya wearing a black T-shirt and asked with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Tokuya, have you watched "Attack on Titan"?"
Yoshihiro Toshitan nodded at the camera: "Well, I've been watching it all the time. This comic is really good. I admire the imagination of the person who wrote this story." The male host asked again: "Where do you think this comic is good? It makes you like it so much."
Yoshihiro Toshikaya touched it, thought for a while and said, "I can't explain it clearly. I think the story is set too realistically. I'm afraid that the giants inside are actually our current humans, and the people in the castle are animals on the earth. In fact, for animals, we are the "giants" that destroy everything. It is precisely this realistic meaning. This comic obviously exceeds other works..."
"Why didn't you write such a story?" the host asked curiously.
"I want to write too, but my editor may kill me." Yoshihiro Tokuya smiled helplessly: "I'm really curious about how director Li Xiaole convinced the editor of Shueisha. I really want to ask him for advice on this."
The audience in the studio burst into laughter, and the host then threw the question to Aoyama Takahara Aoyama, the author of "Detective Conan", and asked: "Teacher Aoyama, everyone knows that you are a master of detective reasoning. Now all comic fans are wondering whether Allen is dead? Is it possible that he is just seriously injured? What do you think the answer is?"
