Chapter 501: The Angry Reader
"The animated film production of "Five Centimeters per Second" has been decided, and the plot of the comic book will be highly restored!"
The official website of Phoenix Company hung such a news with a conspicuous title, which shocked all comic practitioners.
"Animated movie, this time it's a movie again!?"
"Just finished a short animation, haven't had a few days off, and now it's announcing a movie again?"
"It's so crazy that we can't even take a breath at the end of the year!"
The presidents of some comic companies are shocked and angry, in the comics industry, 2017 is nicknamed "The Year of the Phoenix", which means that this year's comic market is monopolized by the Phoenix family. They've added magazines, built manga islands, made hit games, created amazing animations, and had great merchandise......
For a whole year, almost all the comic newspapers revolved around the Phoenix Company, and its development was too fast and dazzling to make people dizzy -- at the comic salon held by more than a dozen medium-sized comic companies last month, a relatively straightforward president said by name:
"I still remember that before the Chinese New Year last year, when Phoenix announced that the cartoonist He Xi had accepted his name as the head of the comic island, none of us took him as a threat! That mere cartoonist, even if he succeeds in taking over most of the power of the Phoenix Company, what can he do? ”
"The result? -- The speed of development of Phoenix Company makes us unable to catch up! ”
In one year, Phoenix's business expanded faster than any comic book company expected. Not to mention chasing, even giants like Zhongxia Company can't slow down the pace of Phoenix Company, and can only watch it rise up comic islands, launch games, and develop peripherals - this is the future gold industry of the comic industry.
And this gold industry has been grabbed by Phoenix Company. As long as there are no accidents in the future. Phoenix will be able to develop into a monopoly comic conglomerate...... It's just been a year. Phoenix has raised its comic industry to the point where other companies have been in the past few years, or even more than a decade.
Under its power, the people in charge of all comic companies have to grit their teeth and bear the pain of backwardness. It's December now, and it's about to be January, and they thought they would finally be able to take a break for a while, but they thought that "Five Centimeters per Second" was going to be adapted into an animated movie again!
Animated films, this is another new business point of Phoenix Company in addition to games, short animations and peripherals.
"Don't let other companies live?" There was a howl of ghosts and wolves in the comic world, and it was slightly better. It is undoubtedly a big Zhongxia company.
Ding Yanghua received the news, and then after seeing the news on the official website of Phoenix Company on his home computer, his eyes lit up.
"Do you want to make "5 Centimeters per Second" into an animated movie? What did he think? ”
As the biggest competitor of Zhongxia Company, Ding Yanghua has done serious research on each of He Xi's works, and he also has a deep understanding of "Five Centimeters per Second", knowing that this is a very controversial work, why not choose to make this work into an animated film, which surprised Ding Yanghua.
Of course, he was also pleasantly surprised, because Phoenix's official website said that the animated film "5 Centimeters per Second" would follow the plot of the original comic.
"Isn't this deliberately offending the reader......
Ding Yanghua laughed, he couldn't figure out why he did it. But even if he can't figure it out, he can see that there will be a huge storm after the news is officially confirmed.
In this storm. The mid-summer company can sit on the side and watch the joke.
………
Ning Qing has been paying attention to the movements of Phoenix Company in the past few days, and today she just received a complete set of peripherals of "Madoka Magical Girl", and before she had time to place it in the room, she heard the news of the adaptation of the animated movie "Five Centimeters per Second", and she became excited.
"'Five Centimeters per Second' is going to be animated!?"
She really likes this comic work. Although she is over forty years old, Ning Qing's girlish heart is still there, and she feels that no woman with a girl's heart will not like "Five Centimeters per Second". The comic is sweet and sad at the same time, and the feeling is like a bitter, first love apple that you will never forget.
But it was precisely because she liked it that when Ning Qing saw the news on the official website of Phoenix Company, she was angry.
"The original ending?"
Phoenix Company's "Five Centimeters per Second" will follow the ending of the comic, which is really unacceptable to Ning Qing, she has not experienced the comic when it was released. But from the first time she saw the manga, other readers told her why she had promised to give Kiki and Akari a happy ending in the anime.
When she read this comic for the first time, Ning Qing was crying at home, and what a pity the promise became her reason to comfort herself.
"It doesn't matter, even if the ending of the manga is so sad, but in the anime, Takaki and Akari will definitely be able to ...... together"
Ning Qing comforted herself like this, and imprinted this matter in her heart, for a long time, she had been waiting for He Xi to fulfill his promise, looking forward to the day when "Five Centimeters per Second" was animated. She doesn't care at all about what others say, 'tragedy is the truest outcome', and on several occasions she has been anonymously arguing with others online.
"Tragedy is the truest ending", many readers think, and these readers are always cynical at those who want a happy ending, ridiculing them for not being able to read "5 Centimeters per Second".
Really can't read it? - Not at all, even among the readers who support the happy ending, the vast majority of people understand in their hearts that the ending in the comics is the most realistic ending, and it is precisely because of that ending that "Five Centimeters per Second" seems so sad and distressing.
A few years is enough time for the comic version of "Five Centimeters per Second" to become the orthodoxy in the reader's heart, it is the orthodoxy of this work, and every reader thinks so. However, why are so many people still pursuing a happy ending to the anime? It has nothing to do with orthodoxy or not, readers love "5 Centimeters per Second" and the two protagonists, hoping that they will be happy - that's all.
The more sad the story, the more people want to be happy...... Ning Qingcai doesn't care if it's correct or not, whether it's literary or not, whether it's philosophical or not!
She just hopes that Guishu and Mingli can be happy.
"What a pity, teacher, you are so ruthless......" Looking at the official news of Phoenix Company, Ning Qing's heart was like a cold ice cube falling, and her face was pale: "Is it wrong that we hope that Guishu and Mingli can be happy?" Why don't you let them be together, and leave us not even a little hope! ”
In Ning Qing's eyes, the animation of "Five Centimeters per Second" should have been a happy ending.
Because no matter how happy it is, it doesn't actually change the perception that 'the manga ending is the right'. The comic has been out for several years. Now, whether on the Internet or in reality, wherever there is a topic of "5 Centimeters per Second", people will argue about the ending of the animation, and no one argues about the legitimacy of the comics.
The original ending has long been established as an authority, but there are still many people who want to have a fantasy, the fantasy of Mingli and Guishu together, but now the announcement of the Phoenix Company has wiped out this fantasy, and it has been erased mercilessly!
This seems to be He Xi suddenly standing up and announcing to readers like Ning Qing: "Don't fantasize, Mingli and Guishu can't be together!" The story is so realistic, it doesn't have a fairy tale of possibility, no matter which version, no matter which world, they will pass by - there will never be a happy ending! ”
Ning Qing's heart was broken, not only her, but millions of readers throughout Huaxia.
In the major fan groups of What a pity, some readers cried with words.
"It's too cruel, it doesn't even give us a chance to fantasize, isn't it possible for Guishu and Mingli to be at all?"
"If I had known this was going to happen, I shouldn't have gotten into the pit in the first place! If I could turn back time, I would definitely not watch "Five Centimeters per Second", no...... I won't read any of Mr. He's works! ”
"I've been waiting for a few years, and I'd rather not have this result! I'd rather wait stupidly for the rest of my life, at least I can still imagine that Guishu and Mingli are together, and I won't let the teacher be sentenced to death like this now! ”
And on Weibo, a female high school student also posted a long article in the middle of the night that she gave up on herself: "I don't believe in love anymore, I won't believe in it for the rest of my life!" ”
This high school student is quite well-known in the readership, she watched "Five Centimeters per Second" a year ago, and she cried a mess at first, but it was precisely because others said that the animation would have a good ending, she survived, and at that time she also posted that she slept and had a dream of Guishu and Mingli together.
In fact, there are many people who have had this dream, and among the huge fans of "Five Centimeters per Second", nearly half of the people who have had comic-related dreams account for nearly fifty percent. The appeal of this manga is so great that some people even have dreams more than a dozen times.
Seeing the news announced by Phoenix today, the high school student was heartbroken, she cried for hours and didn't even eat dinner. And the cruel thing is that she had another dream that night - a dream that Guishu and Mingli wandered in countless worlds, and every time they were about to be together, they would always be ruthlessly divided by fate.
This dream was the opposite of the dream she had a year ago, so she got up in the middle of the night and wrote an article full of blood and tears - she no longer believed in love, no longer believed in what a pity!
After this article came out, it instantly attracted countless responses.
"It's a pity that the teacher is too cruel, he betrayed us! If Kiki and Akari can't be together, I won't read his manga anymore! ”
"I'm going to go to Phoenix Company with a few friends to ask for an explanation, and I'll go tomorrow!"
On Weibo and forums, some readers seemed very excited, which made many reporters excited.
Could it be that the commotion of a few years ago will be repeated? (To be continued......)
