Big Manga

"The animation film "5 Centimeters Per Second" has been decided to be produced, and the plot of the comics is highly restored!"

The official website of Phoenix Company had such a prominently titled message, which shocked all the comics practitioners.

"Animated movie, this time it's a movie again!?"

"Just finished the short animation, haven't rested for a few days, and now announced the release of the movie?"

"He Xi is so crazy, he can't even give us a break at the end of the year!"

The presidents of some comic companies were surprised and angry. In the comic industry, 2017 was nicknamed "The Year of the Phoenix", which means that this year's comic market was monopolized by the Phoenix company. They have added magazines, established a manga island, created popular games, launched amazing animations, and played very well around them...

For a whole year, almost all the comic newspapers revolved around Phoenix Company. Its development was too fast and too dazzling, which made people dizzy. At the comic salon held by more than a dozen medium-sized comic companies last month, there were A more straightforward president said by name:

"I still remember that before the Chinese New Year last year, when Phoenix Company announced that the cartoonist He Xi was appointed as the person in charge of Manga Island, all of us did not regard him as a threat! A mere cartoonist, even if he successfully managed the boss of Phoenix Company Part of the power, what can he do?"

"The result?——Phoenix Company's development speed is so fast that we can't even catch up!"

In one year, Phoenix's business expanded rapidly, exceeding the expectations of all comic companies. Don't talk about chasing. Even a giant like Zhongxia Company can't slow down the pace of Phoenix Company, and can only watch it rise up the manga island, launch games, and develop peripherals - all of which are the future gold industries of the manga industry.

And this gold industry has already been taken over by the Phoenix Company, as long as there are no accidents in the future. Phoenix will be able to develop into a large monopolistic comic group... In just one year, Phoenix has raised its own comic industry ahead of other companies that are several years, or even more than ten years away.

Under its influence, the heads of all comic companies have to grit their teeth and endure the pain of backwardness. It's December now, and January is coming soon. They thought they could finally rest for a while, but they didn't expect that "5 Centimeters Per Second" will be adapted into an animated film again!

Animated movies, this is in addition to games, short animations and peripherals. Another new business point of Phoenix Company.

"Do you want to let other companies live?" There was a burst of howling in the comics world, but the ones were a little better. Undoubtedly, it is a Zhongxia company with a big business.

Ding Yanghua received the news,

Then, after seeing the news on Phoenix Company's official website on the home computer, his eyes lit up.

"To make "5 Centimeters Per Second" into an animated film? What does He Xi think?"

As the biggest competitor of Zhongxia Company, Ding Yanghua has done serious research on each of He Xi's works. He also has a deep understanding of "5 Centimeters Per Second", knowing that this is a highly controversial work, He Xi chose to make this work into an animated film, which surprised Ding Yanghua.

Of course, he was also very pleasantly surprised - because the official website of Phoenix Company stated that the animated film of "5 Centimeters Per Second" will be produced according to the plot of the original manga.

"Isn't this intentionally offending readers..."

Ding Yanghua laughed, he couldn't figure out why He Xi did this, but even if he couldn't figure it out, he could see that there would be a huge storm when the news was officially confirmed.

In this storm, Zhongxia Company can sit aside and watch the jokes.

………

Ning Qing has been paying attention to the movement of Phoenix Company these days. Today she just received a whole set of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" merchandise, and before she had time to put them in her room, she heard the news that "5 Centimeters Per Second" was adapted into an animated film. She immediately became excited.

""5 Centimeters Per Second" is going to be animated!?"

She really likes this cartoon. Although she is over 40 years old, Ning Qing still has a girlish heart, and she feels that there is no girl with a girlish heart who would not like "5 Centimeters Per Second". This manga is both sweet and sad, and it feels like a bitter, apple of first love that lasts a lifetime.

But it is also because I like it. When Ning Qing saw the news on Phoenix Company's official website, she became angry.

"The original ending?"

Phoenix's 5 Centimeters Per Second will follow the manga's ending. This made Ning Qing really unacceptable, she had never experienced the commotion when this comic was released. But from the first time she read this comic, other readers told her that He Xi had promised to give Guishu and Akari a happy ending in the animation.

When Ning Qing was crying at home when she first read this manga, He Xi's promise became her reason to comfort herself.

"It doesn't matter, even if the ending of the manga is so sad, but in the animation, Guishu and Akari will definitely be able to be together..."

Ning Qing comforted herself in this way, and kept this matter in her heart. For a long time, she has been waiting for He Xi to fulfill his promise, looking forward to the day when "5 Centimeters Per Second" will be animated. She doesn't care at all what other people say that 'tragedy is the most real ending', and she has had disputes with others anonymously on the Internet several times.

"Tragedy is the truest ending", many readers think so, and these readers always ridicule them who hope for a happy ending, and laugh at them for not being able to understand "5 Centimeters Per Second".

Really do not understand? ——That’s not the case at all. Even among the readers who support the happy ending, the vast majority of people understand that the ending in the manga is the most realistic ending. Because of that ending, "5 Centimeters Per Second" Seems so sad and distressing.

A few years are enough for the comic version of "5 Centimeters Per Second" to become the orthodoxy in the hearts of readers. It is the orthodoxy of this work, and every reader thinks so. But why are so many people still pursuing the happy ending of animation? This has nothing to do with being orthodox. Readers like "5 Centimeters Per Second" and the two protagonists, and hope that they will be happy—that's all.

The sadder the story, the more people want to be happy... Ning Qing doesn't care whether it is correct or not, whether it is literary or not, or whether it is philosophical or not!

She just hopes that Guishu and Mingli can be happy.

"Teacher He Xi, you are so ruthless..." Looking at the official news from Phoenix Company, Ning Qing felt as if a piece of cold ice had fallen in her heart, and her face was pale: "Is it wrong for us to hope that Guishu and Mingli can be happy?" ? Why don't you let them be together, don't even leave us with any hope!"

In Ning Qing's eyes, the animation of "5 Centimeters Per Second" should have a happy ending.

Because no matter how happy its ending is, it will actually not change the view that "comic endings are orthodox". The manga was published for several years. Now, whether on the Internet or in real life, wherever there is a topic of "5 Centimeters Per Second", the focus of debate will be on the ending of the animation, and no one is arguing about the orthodox status of manga.

The original ending has already established its authority, but there are still many people who want to have a fantasy, the fantasy of Mingli and Guishu being together, but now the Phoenix company's announcement has wiped out this fantasy, mercilessly!

It seems that He Xi suddenly stood up and declared to readers like Ning Qing: "Don't fantasize, it is impossible for Mingli and Guishu to be together! This story is so realistic, it has no possibility of a fairy tale, no matter which version it is , no matter which world it is, they will pass by each other—there will never be a happy ending!"

Ning Qing's heart was broken, not only her, but millions of readers in China were also heartbroken.

In He Xi's various fan groups, some readers cried out in words.

"It's too cruel. We don't even give us a chance to fantasize. Does Guishu and Mingli have no possibility at all?"

"If I knew that this kind of thing would happen, I shouldn't have entered the pit! If I could turn back time, I would definitely not watch "5 Centimeters Per Second", no... I will not watch any works of Teacher He Xi!"

"I've waited for several years, and I'd rather not have this result! I'd rather wait a lifetime foolishly, at least I can still imagine that Guishu and Mingli are together in my heart, and I won't let Teacher He Xi be sentenced to death so abruptly now! "

On Weibo, a female high school student posted a self-defeating long article in the middle of the night: "I don't believe in love anymore, I don't believe in it for the rest of my life!"

This high school student is quite well-known in the reader circle. She watched "5 Centimeters Per Second" a year ago, and she cried in a mess at the beginning, but it was because others said that the animation would have a happy ending that she survived. At that time, she also posted The post said that she had dreamed that Guishu and Mingli were together while sleeping.

In fact, many people have had this dream. Among the huge fans of "5 Centimeters Per Second", nearly 50% of them have dreamed about comics. This cartoon is so contagious that some people even had dreams a dozen times.

Seeing the news announced by Phoenix Company today, the high school student was heartbroken. She cried for hours and didn't even eat dinner. And cruelly, she had another dream that night—the dream that Guishu and Mingli were wandering in countless worlds, and every time they were about to be together, they would always be ruthlessly divided by fate.

This dream was completely opposite to the dream she had a year ago, so she woke up in the middle of the night and wrote an article full of blood and tears-she no longer believed in love, and no longer believed in He Xi!

After this article came out, it immediately attracted countless people's responses.

"Teacher He Xi is too cruel, he betrayed us! If Guishu and Mingli can't be together, I will never read his comics again!"

"I'm going to Phoenix Company with a few friends to discuss an explanation, and I'll go tomorrow!"

On Weibo and forums, some readers were very excited, which made many reporters excited.

Could it be that the commotion of a few years ago will reappear? (to be continued)
