Chapter 248 Food is king(1/2)
Although I only read the content of a short stroke, Lu Wei was completely attracted by this comic. This is a food comic that is different from all similar themes. Only by reading this comic can I know what food is truly full of color, fragrance and flavor.
The author updated three chapters.
After reading the content of the first episode, Lu Wei couldn't wait to finish the remaining two episodes. From guarding the small restaurant with the main success character to joining Yuanyue Academy under the arrangement of his father, the plot still firmly attracted Lu Wei, and the following plot also confirmed Lu Wei's guess, that is, the protagonist's father is indeed not simple. Although the plot is not explicit, this makes Lu Wei look forward to the protagonist's performance in this top chef school more!
Lu Wei is not alone.
There are still some passers-by readers like him who accidentally clicked on "The Spirit of Eater" and were completely attracted to it. So not long after the comic was released, readers in the comments got messed up:
"What a lustful style!"
"The author is the God of Che!"
"Is it okay to eat?"
"The protagonist puts aphrodisiac in the meal!"
"Although the plot is both exaggerated and ashamed, I feel like I can't stop after watching the first episode. I thought I would never be interested in food comics anymore. Until I saw this "Spirit of the Food" and the perfect combination of the style and the plot, I am so good."
"Isn't the Aphrodisiac Spirit?"
"It is indeed some meat-selling ingredients, but overall, I feel that this comic is very passionate and inspiring. The protagonist has compared his father so many times but is still full of fighting spirit. And it seems that he has been studying where he lost. This makes me very curious now how awesome the protagonist's father is. He is definitely a chef-level figure. He is a first-class work in terms of pleasure."
"The chef of a small restaurant?"
"I moan when I smell the fragrance, and the food is in my mouth. If the clothes are not bursting, I don't think it's delicious. The style of the painting is not as good as the animal. The food painting is also very real. As a chef, I agree with the theory inside, because I can also make this dish, but I definitely can't make the protagonist, which makes the guests excited and the clothes are so exciting. But this is also an interesting part of the comic. If it is linked to reality, then the food comic will be boring."
“It was very enjoyable to watch.”
"Looking at the sizzling sound of the cooking process to the golden light shining on the upper plate, it is a completely self-abuse enjoyment. Each dish is delicate and delicate, full of color, making people's index fingers move but they are hard to eat. The medicine king's pair of medicine leaves his body."
“…”
Compared to the passers-by who accidentally clicked in, the reactions of Shadow's fans were even more exaggerated: "I just refused to hear Shadow want to create original food comics. It is impossible that I like it unconditionally because you are Shadow, but after watching it, I was shocked by Shadow's brain. This plot does not mean a pure painter. I have drawn all the shadows I like, and it's i!"
"Shadow Niu Pie!"
"You guys think they are full of lust, but I think the comic of Shadow is so funny. The protagonist competes with his father in dark cuisine completely hits my laugh point, and then the protagonist makes the imitation meat really ignited!"
"Shadow shame is overwhelming!"
"The shadow is second and passionate!"
"If you don't say this is a food comic, I almost think I'm watching the King's Dayan. Although I'm cooking, the plot setting has magnified the meaning of cooking countless times. We should not take it for granted that Shadow is a pure painter, who understands what readers like to watch."
“…”
Readers who can click on food comics can naturally accept the exaggerated setting that guests can be conquered by food. In reality, almost no one will be so excited that they can't help themselves when they eat delicious food. At most, everyone just nodded with certainty and said:
"good."
“It’s delicious.”
But if this realistic reaction is brought into the comic, it will lose the fun of the comic. This comic uses exaggerated methods to deal with the fragility of the guests in front of the food. In addition, the funny elements that can be seen everywhere in the comics, logic and worldview are combined to a degree of self-consistent, just like a nonsensical movie. The plot and jokes are obviously exaggerated and unrealistic, but everyone selectively ignores the unrealistic side, just enjoying the pleasure brought by this exaggerated plot and the joy of the taste buds blooming.
Previously.
Many readers of Shadow believe that Shadow is a pure painter. After all, the "Net King" he relies on to become famous for was written by Chu Kuang, so his comics were successful in perfectly restoring the original work. If he has a certain creative ability, his first work will not be completely faithful to the original work, right?
But now.
Without a screenwriter, Shadow actually drew this comic called "The Spirit of the Eater" with his own strength, but it changed the impression of Shadow's fans, and the previous idea was completely broken.
This reaction is extremely intuitive.
Someone even directly analyzed it in comments: "I saw many people saying that "The Spirit of the Eater" is very passionate. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is a kingly comic with a food coat, and it is the kind of invincible protagonist with the highest commercial level. According to the current plot, it can be judged that the protagonist's father is definitely a super chef who opens a small restaurant incognito. However, the protagonist does not know how powerful his father is. He has been learning from his father and usually competes with his strong father in cooking. If you still don't understand, you can understand it by converting food into the strength level in the kingly passionate comic. The protagonist appears as a strong man with a very high level. His weakness is that compared with other chefs, the protagonist is already too strong!"
This analysis is not wrong.
This "Spirit of the Gallop" is a highly commercial food comic, and it has the characteristics of Earth's online literature. Content creation pursues the so-called pleasure, and the protagonist's cooking skills are indeed close to invincible. It is one of the best newcomers in the food industry. As for the reactions of diners after eating food, it is enough to understand it as shock in the online literature. The cool-speaking works, the eternal word "shock" is an important theme of success and one of the important elements that will succeed in this comic.
The only difference is:
The King's Hot Blood Man emphasizes the protagonist's power through fighting with people, which makes readers feel happy. However, "The Spirit of the Eater" conquers opponents by cooking. His opponents may be powerful peers or picky diners, but the pleasure of successfully conquering the opponent is exactly the same. It is still very exciting to see the person who eats to burst out clothes, not to mention that food works naturally have the attribute of poisoning.
...
Because tribal comics have just been established, the data performance of comics and so on have been delayed for a certain period of time. However, for all comic artists who have started a new work serialization mode on the website, the best reflection of whether their new works is the basis for success is still the comic rankings on the website, and the most important rankings are:
Popularity rankings!
The popularity ranking of comics is calculated by combining multi-faceted data such as voting, likes and rewards. Only works with the highest comprehensive data can rank among the top in the rankings. Now everyone has just released new works, so many cartoonists are waiting for the first batch of works on this ranking, and even some readers on the website are paying attention to this list.
The reason is very simple.
Most comic readers also use rankings to find works that suit their hearts. The popularity of works is definitely because of their wonderfulness, and wonderfulness means that the works are more in line with the public's taste, which is the most normal logic.
Zhang Wei is a cartoonist.
To be precise, Zhang Wei is a well-known cartoonist. He is one of the dozens of big-name cartoonists first announced by tribal comic websites. Although he is not the top figure among these comics, Zhang Wei is very confident in his new work. He feels that his works have the opportunity to be among the top ten!
So Zhang Wei kept staring at the rankings.
When the time came to the fifth hour of the website's successful establishment, the rankings were finally refreshed. Zhang Wei looked over immediately and then waved his fist excitedly because he saw that his comic called "Dragon Fist" was ranked seventh in the popularity rankings at this time!
"Brother Zhang can..."
Zhang Wei's friend was obviously an expert, so he came to the computer and looked at it, then smiled and congratulated: "The seventh place is very high. If you keep this popularity, you have the chance to become the top author of tribal comics and take off the rhythm of the gods!"
"not bad."
Zhang Wei smiled: "The main thing is that all walks of life have the intention of reshuffling the brand. After Qin Qi merged, the audience base of all comics has been expanded more than twice. Whoever can get good results at this point in time, even if anyone can get the lead, it is not an easy task. Look at the works in the top ten, all of them are the most powerful cartoonists on the website..."
"All of it?"
My friend pointed to the eighth-ranked work and said with some uncertainty: "Which teacher's work is this comic called "The Spirit of the Eater"? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Um?"
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment.
He also felt that the name of the comic "Shengren's Spirit" was a bit unfamiliar. It seemed that it was not the top work of the website. Could it be that it was similar to his situation and suddenly emerged while the industry was reshuffled?
He subconsciously clicked to refresh.
Then Zhang Wei's face turned darker.
Because of his refresh, he actually fell to the eighth place in the popularity list, and the one who replaced him with the seventh place was the work called "The Spirit of the Eater" that just ranked below him.
"It's been exploded online."
My friend couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Wei curled his lips, not caring too much, but just clicked on this "Spirit of Eater". When he saw the comic author, he finally showed a surprised expression: "It turned out to be a work of shadow?"
"shadow?"
My friend suddenly remembered something, and his face changed slightly: "I am the author of "The King of Nets". He seems to be a pure artist. It is said that his new work is planned to independently edit and draw on the original route, so this is his original work..."
The two looked at each other.
Original works by pure painters?
Without further communication, the two of them looked at the comics directly. After seeing them halfway, their friends laughed: "This shadow is such a genius. A food comic is so passionate. It's a hot-blooded way to eat. It's okay to make an animation?"
"His father is awesome."
"The protagonist has something."
“Hahaha, so interesting!”
After reading a few paintings, my friends were overjoyed, while Zhang Wei showed a helpless expression. This comic is indeed very exciting, completely breaking the routines of those delicious food comics in the past. Although the plot is still mainly cooking, the emotions are too prepped. You can draw a sense of passion even if you cook. No wonder you were blown up by the other party!
"The rhythm of the fire..."
Zhang Wei came up with his own judgment.
As a result, just as Zhang Wei finished speaking, a string of red numbers suddenly floated across the website: [The praise and slammed the table, and it was not enough to express my intentions if it was not a reward. User Huanyu rewarded 1000,000 tribal coins of "The Spirit of Eater" to become the Silver Alliance of this work!]
"silver?"
Zhang Wei’s friend was shocked: “According to the conversion rules of tribal comics, it seems that a million tribal coins are 10,000 yuan. Some local tycoons directly rewarded this comic with 10,000 yuan, which is a bit cruel.”
Zhang Wei: "…"
I envy it, but I won't say it.
Just when Zhang Wei was envious, another notice appeared: [The praise and slammed the table, and it was not enough to express my wish. The user rewarded "The Spirit of Eater" with a wisp of flying feathers and rewarded 1000,000 tribal coins of "The Spirit of the Eater", becoming the Silver Alliance of this game!]
Zhang Wei: "…"
friend:"……"
Another rich reader emerged?
It seemed that it was provoked. Not long after, other comics also received rewards at the Silver Alliance level. These comics are also the top ten works on the popularity list, just like "The Spirit of Eater", which is currently ranked seventh.
This is normal.
The works ranked in the top ten are basically created by great-level cartoonists. These great-level cartoonists themselves have many loyal fans, and it is normal for some rich people to appear among the fans.
only……
The shadow is not a great comic artist, but can only be said to be a rookie in the comics circle. As a result, there are so many rewards. Zhang Wei feels a little sad. He is obviously in the top ten, and his reputation in the industry is not much different from that in the shadow. He is also the first published list of cartoonists, so why is there no silver support?
