Chapter 1263: New album is coming

It's the end of the year. The domestic entertainment industry has been tossing for a year, and as the old year is about to end, it finally calmed down.

Of course, calming down is compared to the beginning of the year, around June, when there were constant big melons (scandals).

As for now, you can see some news with quite a lot of heat from time to time.

For example, the divorce of the "half of the rock music industry," this time no one grabbed the headlines from him.

Besides that, Japanese manga has also been full of storms recently.

In just one month, three super-popular Japanese manga have successively done heaven-defying things, making a group of manga fans miserable, and major forums and communities are arguing endlessly.

"Attack on Titan," "One Piece," and "Jujutsu Kaisen" can be considered half of the most popular manga currently.

The former has already ended, and the latter two are also nearing the end.

And Japanese manga authors seem to always like to do some disgusting things to readers when a good story is about to reach its end.

It seems that if they don't do this, they violate their original intention of creating manga and cannot reflect their artistic attainments.

The author of "Attack on Titan" completely overturned the protagonist's character setting at the end and denied all his previous efforts, making him a complete clown.

And he also let the popular heroine marry someone else, then accompanied by a "yellow-haired" (cuckolder), held the child to pay respects to the protagonist's grave.

This series of operations is like adding two spoons of feces to a pot of peerless delicacies about to be cooked.

Most of the ingredients are still delicious, but if you taste the feces, you will still vomit.

And thinking that there is feces in such a delicious dish makes people feel physically nauseous.

By comparison, the author of "One Piece" is slightly better.

He just made an important supporting character's life experience a bit miserable, such as losing both parents since childhood, his childhood sweetheart being insulted and giving birth to a baby for him to raise, and finally, he himself was forced to become a slave without feelings and thoughts in order to save this baby.

Ironically, the ones who enslaved him and insulted his childhood sweetheart were the same group of people.

Combined like this, it seems really hard to bear.

The chain reaction caused by this kind of drawing makes the character settings of many roles in "One Piece" face collapse.

Currently, all "One Piece" fans are arguing with saliva flying for this matter, and the opposition is extremely sharp, which can be called the plot with the biggest controversy in recent years.

Of course, compared to heavyweight manga like "One Piece" and "Jujutsu Kaisen," it is still slightly inferior.

The bad work done by the plot of "Jujutsu Kaisen" recently has already formed several memes on the internet, such as "2.5 Gojo," "Never felt sad for XX's XX for a moment," "I'm sorry for not making you feel satisfied," etc., etc. …………

The ability to create memes can be called the best in manga this year.

As for how heaven-defying this plot is, it can't be explained in a few words.

To summarize, the author let the combat ceiling in the manga die like a clown, worthless, without tears, and even makes people want to laugh a little.

If the plot of "One Piece" is still controversial, then the plot of "Jujutsu Kaisen" has united all the "black" (haters) and "white" (fans), making them all agree that this work is completely rotten.

And the reason supporting them to continue watching is to know how rotten this author can make his work.

If it can rot to a level, rot to a feature, rot to a new height, it would not be a tombstone in the history of Japanese manga.

People passing by in the future can still spit on its location to show respect.

This is the current thought of manga fans.

"Actually, it's really hard to understand why these authors want to create such disgusting plots. Don't they know what fans want to see?"

"Creators are like this. In Japan, this is called psychological perversion; in China, this is called 'wenqing' (pretentious literary youth)."

"Some people engage in creation just to disgust people, but they didn't expect the disgusting work to become popular, but this doesn't affect the author's original intention to disgust people, and thinking about being able to disgust so many people, the author is even more excited."

"Heaven-defying people will always be collected by heaven. Just wait, there will be retribution sooner or later."

"Indeed, there was a painter who specialized in NTR, very good at disgusting people, and as a result, in reality, he was really cuckolded by his own wife. Having broken his defense, he changed his career to draw pure love."

"His wife cheated just because she knew he liked NTR, so this is actually a kind of pure love."

"Hahaha, can it be interpreted like this?"

"This is the first time someone has explained cheating so fresh and refined. You are a talent."

"It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Those authors who disgust people should learn. Those who green others will always be greened. If you disgust others, sooner or later you will be disgusted by others!"

"Right, the feng shui turns!"

……………………

Because of the plots of the three manga, fans discussed it extremely fiercely in Luo Quan's live stream.

But this is also very normal. After all, the two-dimensional concentration on Bilibili has always been very high, and two-dimensional related news is also the fastest to ferment.

Plus this series of heaven-defying big works is indeed overwhelming, and good things all happened on the same day.

Facing the fans' questions, Luo Quan thought for a while and evaluated: "The creator's thoughts, if he doesn't say it himself, it's very difficult for the audience to analyze."

"Just like 'The Shaved Girl,' you thought this was a warm drama about redemption."

"But the character settings of the male and female protagonists were thought of by the author while squatting on the toilet, as casual as it gets, and by the time the story was written to the end, he himself felt disgusted."

"If these things weren't said by the author himself, could you guess it?"

"Similarly, the plots of these three anime might also be something their authors came up with by slapping their thighs. Maybe there was no malice, or maybe they were deliberately disgusting people. To figure it out, you can only ask the author himself."

"Promise me, Luo Bao, you must never make such a mistake in the future."

"I can't imagine the harem story Luo Quan wrote before, if the heroine was NTR'd, what my mood would be. I would probably collapse directly, right?"

"You're overthinking it, Luo Bao is not such a boring person."

"Indeed, Luo Bao is famous for liking Happy Endings."

"It's not like this in the movie 'The Sea'."

"'The Sea' is a bit miserable, but the ending is still good, it's just that the process is indeed too miserable."

"Reasonably speaking, Luo Bao told everyone from the beginning that this is a tragic story. You should have been mentally prepared before clicking in."

"Tragedy is just occasional, comedy is Luo Bao's norm."

……………………

Luo Quan watched the fans' discussion with a smile and continued: "Heavy themes often bring deeper memories, but in order not to let everyone be deceived, I usually inform them in advance, so as not to let you break your defense suddenly."

"And filming such a story, I also have to recover for a long time, so there probably won't be any tragedies for a long time to come. They should all be refreshing and happy comedies."

"After all, real life is bitter enough now, there's no need to let everyone continue to suffer in fantasy."

"So, please don't worry about the plot of 'Tokyo Love Story,' there will definitely be no NTR content."

Fans praised this statement one after another:

"Good, then I'll pre-order ten copies directly, and give the extra ones away in a lottery."

"This is just a folder that has been built, where did the pre-order come from?"

"If there's a pre-order, I'll buy it."

"Speaking of which, when will Luo Bao's album come out? It's already the end of the year."

"Haha, after paving the way for so long, you kid finally couldn't hold back, right?"

"It's just for this plate of vinegar that everyone wrapped this meal of dumplings."

…………

Luo Quan knew the fans would urge, just didn't expect them to urge so quickly.

Clearly, she just filmed a movie, and these few days she has been live streaming and updating novels, looking like she should be very diligent. It shouldn't make them feel she is slacking off.

As a result, after resting for only a few days, the fans' old problems flared up again.

Originally, according to her plan, she would maintain it like this for a few days, and it wouldn't be long before it was December.

When the fans couldn't help but urge for updates, she would start to use the "delay tactic," saying the album was already in preparation and everyone should look forward to it.

Dragging it until the New Year, if anyone urged for updates then, she would say it would be released in the New Year to celebrate.

This way, the fans definitely wouldn't have any opinions, and she could also delay the release of the new album to February next year, so she wouldn't have to be urged for the whole spring.

This plan is simply perfect. Luo Quan couldn't help but want to like her own wit.

Who knew these fans really didn't want to let her be idle for a moment? She had only been live streaming for a few days, and they were urging to listen to the new album.

And it was the opinion of the majority; there wasn't a single person in the bullet screen speaking for her.

Facing such calls, Luo Quan had no other choice but to compromise.

"Fine, the new album will come in a few days!"

Luo Quan's promise made half the people feel satisfied. As for the other half, they were more inclined to get rewards from Luo Quan immediately.

"Luo Bao, the 'Attack on Titan' anime has ended. You also released an OP for it a few years ago. How do you evaluate the ending of this anime?"

A fan spent a few hundred yuan to send a paid bullet screen.

Luo Quan was silent for a long time after seeing the question.

"To be honest, this question is actually very difficult to answer."

Luo Quan sighed and opened the conversation after a long silence: "Remember when I watched 'Attack on Titan,' I had just entered high school."

"At that time, I felt this show was too burning, and it was drawn very exquisitely. It was simply the god among gods."

"Although many characters I liked died, every character's death brought me great emotion, making people feel that their sacrifice was meaningful."

"Just didn't expect the ending to be like this."

"The good news is that the animation team put a not-so-perfect patch on this ending that rotted to the sky."

"Perhaps there are still many people who are dissatisfied, but just like people's youth, it will always be full of various regrets."

"Things have already happened, and you can't expect a change. I can only say that the beginning and middle of 'Attack on Titan' are indeed good to watch, and its ending is indeed very rotten, that's all."

"Treating it as a classic or a belief or something is unnecessary. It's just a shonen manga for entertainment after all. Being able to bring emotion can be considered as completing its mission."

"As for the ending being so rotten that it makes you feel that so many years of sincerity were fed to dogs, then remember the author's name, and looking at his works in the future is being a dog!"

If the previous content was emotionally stable and rationally expressed, then this gnashing-of-teeth venting at the end proved that Luo Quan had broken her defense.

It is indeed very difficult not to break defense. After all, a work that could have been sealed as a god was ruined like this, which is really a pity.

Of course, Luo Quan herself is not a die-hard fan of "Attack on Titan," just feeling that a work that could have been sealed as a god was ruined like this is a bit of a pity.

If she were really angry, she would have posted a video to scold it long ago.

"Luo Bao is still true-hearted, praising where it should be praised and scolding where it should be scolded."

"This belongs to the calm audience perspective: follow the good content, and don't watch if it's not good."

"That's what it says, but thinking about it now still feels very uncomfortable."

"Luo Bao, if you were to use a song to draw a period for 'Attack on Titan,' which song would you use?"

"Come on, Luo Bao, I actually wanted to say this just now."

"Good guy, I knew you guys wouldn't let Luo Bao be idle tonight, and now it's finally started, right."

"Sigh, I was thinking about letting Luo Bao open the game quickly. Now it seems it will probably have to wait until midnight to open."

"The game can be played anytime, but if you miss this opportunity, I don't know when I'll have to wait for Luo Quan to sing for 'Attack on Titan' again."

"It's been a long time since I heard Luo Bao make an anime OP. What style are you planning this time?"

"Haha, Luo Bao hasn't agreed yet, and you guys have already started choosing?"

"Luo Bao will definitely agree, after all, she is so 'yasashi' (kind), right Luo Bao?"

……

Luo Quan just sat there silently, watching these people being generous with others' kindness.

Seeing the calls getting higher and higher, she finally shook her head and smiled: "A work announcing its end is equivalent to the end of a person's life."

"Whether it leaves a name for thousands of years or leaves a bad name for ten thousand years, it mainly depends on what he did before he died."

"But no matter what, the dead are the greatest."

"Since everyone wants such a song to draw a period for 'Attack on Titan' and the youth and emotion you paid for it, then let me be this proxy."

Saying that, Luo Quan entered a string of English in the notepad on the computer:

"Call of Silence"

Meaning, a silent call.

"Is this the song's name?"

"Silent call, it's quite speculative."

"Looking at the song title, you can guess the style of the song. It should be that kind of relatively lyrical slow song."

"Indeed, if it were like the Railgun OP, called a deafening roar, then it would probably be another painting style."

"Hahahaha, why are you guys always able to make people want to laugh so much?"

"You guys are really good at making tricks."

………………

The live stream was full of laughter, but soon they couldn't cry anymore.
