Big Manga

Late at night, in a remote park.

Lu Xue was wearing a heavy coat and sitting on a bench, holding "5 Centimeters Per Second" in her hand, waiting for He Xi's arrival with great anticipation.

After the talk show, Phoenix Company took the initiative to contact her and decided on the occasion and time to meet. Lu Xue came over ten minutes earlier, and she couldn't help being excited when she thought that she could meet the always mysterious cartoonist.

"I should be the first reader to know his true face, right?"

"How can I express my gratitude to him?"

Various thoughts flickered in Lu Xue's mind, until the sound of footsteps approached, she got up excitedly and turned her head to look.

"Hello."

The clear voice came from a teenager's mouth. Lu Xue opened her eyes wide, a little startled, she had heard that He Xi was a young genius, but no one had ever told her that He Xi was so young.

She looked He Xi up and down.

This is a handsome boy, wearing a simple down jacket, solid-color jeans, and a slender scarf. He is not particularly handsome, his face is still growing, but he has eyes as bright as stars, exuding a strong sense of presence.

As a host, Lu Xue has met all kinds of people, but this boy is undoubtedly the most special one. He has the calmness and self-confidence of an older person, but he is restricted by age, like a bamboo shoot buried under the snow in winter. If his body grows up, after a few years, he may become an incredible man.

"You are Teacher He Xi?"

Thanks to the qualities she had cultivated in her profession, Lu Xue quickly regained her composure. She smiled and said, "Thank you for coming."

Lu Xue didn't doubt the identity of this person. This park is a remote park, and no one usually comes here.

Meng Huo responded a few words. He noticed a car parked on the other side of the park, and a man was standing beside him: "That's your lover, are you leaving Ninghai tonight?"

"Yes, we'll be leaving in a while."

Lu Xue glanced back, sweetness flashed in her heart, she looked at Meng Huo again, and said gratefully: "Mr. He Xi, I came to you this time to thank you in person for "5 Centimeters Per Second". Know your own heart."

After she finished speaking, she bent over to Meng Huo, which surprised Meng Huo a little.

"Don't do that, you're too much."

"No, I haven't." Lu Xue straightened up again, and said with a smile, "This is a major event in a lifetime, and you deserve my gratitude."

"Also, Teacher He Xi."

A curious light flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Actually, I still want to know, "5 Centimeters Per Second" has three endings, which one is the real ending?"

Perhaps because she is very similar to Mingli, Lu Xue has always wanted to know the answer to this question. When she heard that the animated version of "5 Centimeters Per Second" would bring Mingli and Guishu together, she wanted to be sure. Is it the real ending in Meng Huo's heart?

"Um?"

Meng Huo looked at her strangely, and frowned slightly: "Don't you know, why are you asking me?"

Lu Xue was taken aback, you know? What does she know? She thought about it for a while, and after a while she realized something, shook her head and smiled wryly: "So, the comic version of "5 Centimeters Per Second" is the real ending."

She figured it out, the reason why "5 Centimeters Per Second" can touch people's hearts is not only because of the beautiful pictures,

It lies more in the real side of society and love it reflects. Bitter but real love, tortured by time and distance, if you think about it this way, the ending of the comic version of "5 Centimeters Per Second" is obviously the most suitable.

In this version, the male and female protagonists who have been separated for a long time are not together after all. After Guishu put down his obsession with Mingli, he chose Huamiao who has been watching him silently.

With a little sadness, a little thoughtfulness, and a little warmth, "5 Centimeters Per Second" is a story that depicts reality.

The reason why Meng Huo said that Lu Xue understood was because she had already perceived the truth of "5 Centimeters Per Second".

She is very similar to Mingli, if time allows the distance, the man who loves her will be like Guishu, and will eventually give up this relationship one day. "Five Centimeters Per Second" can only be a tragedy in reality. The hero will start his own family, so Lu Xue is afraid.

Only when she knew the real ending could she realize that she couldn't walk the same path as Mingli, so she reined in the precipice and turned around to choose love.

"I'm not sensible..."

Lu Xue is no longer sensible at this time, she made a different decision and took the initiative to find her own future.

"Teacher He Xi."

The way Lu Xue looked at Meng Huo changed, showing gratitude and admiration, but still doubts.

"If the manga is the ending, why do you want Akari and Guishu to be together in the anime?"

"..."

Meng Huo pondered, then touched his head: "This is a compromise to the readers."

The reason why he made this decision is to appease the readers. The ending of "Wukong Biography" is sad. If the ending of "5 Centimeters Per Second" is equally sad, and the two debut works are tragedies, it will leave a shadow on many readers. It even affects Meng Huo's future development.

Meng Huo doesn't want to be a niche cartoonist, so before he has completely stabilized people's hearts, he will show respect to readers and give them a happy ending in return.

"compromise……"

Lu Xue's expression froze. Speaking of this, she still has to participate in the readers' commotion!

"Cough, cough..." She quickly changed the subject: "Then Mr. He Xi, why did you put the ending in the manga?"

She said: "You're not going to tell other people which ending are you? But I think the animation makes people think that's the real ending."

Animation shows better things than comics, just like film and television dramas adapted from novels, Lu Xue often regards the ending of film and television dramas as the ending of novels.

"Your thinking is wrong.?"

Meng Huo shook his head and said, "Perhaps the animation will be more popular than the comic "5 Centimeters Per Second", but those who really like it will see through the ending I want to express sooner or later."

"why?"

Lu Xue was surprised.

"I'm a cartoonist." Meng Huo smiled, his eyes softened: "I drew the ending on the book, that's the most suitable place for it."

He is a cartoonist, and the things he draws will be placed on people's bookshelves and passed down.

Perhaps "Five Centimeters Per Second" will spark an upsurge after it is animated, but as time goes by, it is difficult for people to turn on the TV in order to reminisce about the plot. Comic books are different, they don’t need a medium, people who like “5 Centimeters Per Second” can see the comics on the bookshelf all the time, and they can take them down easily, reminiscing about the slight sadness and the bitterness of love.

Books are always the most convenient and personal companions for people...

After a few years or decades have passed, those readers will find that the original comic records are the real ending.

"5 Centimeters Per Second" is still a sad, realistic, and fascinating story.
