Chapter 501: Angry Reader
"The animation film production of "Five Centimeters in Seconds" is decided to restore the comic plot!"
The official website of Phoenix Company was hung with such a conspicuous news, which shocked all comic practitioners.;
"Animation movie, this time it's a movie again!?"
"I just finished the short animation and haven't had a few days off yet, and now I've announced the release of the movie?"
"He Xi is too crazy, I can't even let us take a breath at the end of the year!"
The presidents of some comic companies were both shocked and angry. In the comic industry, there was a nickname called "The Year of Phoenix" in 2017, which meant that this year's comic market was monopolized by the Phoenix family. They added magazines, established comic islands, created popular games, launched praiseworthy animations, and played well around them...
For a whole year, almost all the comic newspapers were revolving around Phoenix. Its development was too fast and too dazzling, and it was dazzling. Last month, a more straightforward president said:
"I still remember that before the Chinese New Year last year, when Phoenix announced that it would accept the manga artist He Xi as the head of Manga Island, all of us did not regard him as a threat! Even if a mere cartoonist successfully took over most of the power of Phoenix, what could he do?"
"What's the result? - The development speed of Phoenix Company makes us unable to even catch up!"
In one year, Phoenix's business expanded rapidly, exceeding the expectations of all comic companies. Not to mention chasing, even giants like Zhongxia Company cannot slow down Phoenix's pace. They can only watch it rise up comic islands, launch games, and develop surrounding areas - this is the future gold industry in the comics industry.
This gold industry has been taken the lead by Phoenix Company. As long as there is no accident in the future, Phoenix can develop towards a monopoly comic group... In just one year, Phoenix Company has increased its comic industry to other companies for several years, or even more than ten years later.
Under its power, all the people in charge of comic companies have to grit their teeth and endure the pain of being backward. It is December now, and it is about to be January. They thought they could finally take a break, but they didn't expect that "Five Centimeters in Second" will be adapted into an animated movie again!
Animated movies, this is another new business point for Phoenix Company, beyond games, short stories and peripherals.
"Will you let other companies live?" A wave of howlings sounded in the comics industry, and the slightly better one is undoubtedly the Zhongxia Company, which has a big business.
Ding Yanghua received the message, and then saw the news from the official website of Phoenix Company on his home computer, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"To make "Five Centimeters in Second" animated movie? What exactly did He Xi think?"
As Zhongxia Company's biggest competitor, Ding Yanghua has done serious research on every work of He Xi. He also has a deep understanding of "Five Centimeters in Seconds". He knows that this is a very controversial work. He Xi actually chose to make this work an animated movie, which surprised Ding Yanghua.
Of course, he was also very surprised - because the official website of Phoenix Company said that the animated movie "Five Centimeters in Seconds" will be produced according to the plot of the original comic book.
"Isn't this intentional offending readers..."
Ding Yanghua laughed. He couldn't figure out the reason for He Xi to do this. But even if he couldn't figure it out, he could see that the news would usher in a huge storm after it was officially confirmed.
In this storm, Zhongxia Company can sit aside and watch jokes.
………
Ning Qing has been paying attention to the movements of Phoenix Company these days. Today she just received a complete set of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". Before she could even place it in the room, she heard the news of the animation movie adapted from "Five Centimeters in Seconds". She became excited.
"The "Five Centimeters in Second" is going to be animated!?"
She really likes this comic. Although she is over 40 years old, Ning Qing's girlish heart is still there, and she feels that no woman with a girlish heart will not like "Five Centimeters in Seconds". This comic is both sweet and sad, and the feeling is like bitter, the apple of her first love is unforgettable for life.
But it was precisely because of her like that when Ning Qing saw the news on the official website of Phoenix Company, she became angry.
"Original ending?"
The "Five Centimeters in Seconds" that Phoenix Company will follow the ending of the comic, which made Ning Qing unacceptable. She had never experienced the turmoil of the release of this comic. But since she first read the comic, other readers told her that He Xi once promised to give Kishu and Akari a happy ending in the animation.
When she first finished reading this comic, Ning Qing cried at home and was in a state of great excitement. He Xi's promise became her reason for comforting herself.
"It doesn't matter. Even if the ending of the comic is so sad, in the animation, Takaki and Akiri will definitely be able to be together..."
Ning Qing comforted herself so much and imprinted this incident in her heart. For a long time, she has been waiting for He Xi to fulfill his promise and look forward to the animation of "Five Centimeters in Seconds". She doesn't care at all about what others say, "The Tragedy is the most real ending." Several times she had anonymous argument with others online.
"Trama is the truest ending." Many readers think so. These readers always sarcastically at those who hope for a happy ending, mocking them for not understanding "Five Centimeters in Seconds".
Really can't understand? - This is not the case at all. Even among readers who support the happy ending, most people understand in their hearts that the ending in the comics is the most real ending. It is precisely because of that ending that "Five Centimeters in Second" seems so sad and heartbreaking.
Several years have been enough to make the comic version of "Five Centimeters in Second" a legitimate in the hearts of readers. It is the legitimate of this work, and every reader thinks so. However, why are there still so many people pursuing the successful ending of animation? This has nothing to do with being orthodox. Readers like "Five Centimeters in Second" and those two protagonists, hoping that they can be happy - that's all.
The sadder the story, the more people hope to be happy... Ning Qing does not care whether it is correct or not, whether it is literary or not, whether it is philosophical or not!
She just hopes that Kishu and wise can be happy.
"Teacher He Xi, you are so cruel..." Looking at the official news of Phoenix Company, Ning Qing felt like a cold ice fell in her heart, and her face was pale: "Are we wrong to hope that Guishu and Mingli can be happy? Why don't you let them be together? You don't even leave any hope for us!"
In Ning Qing's eyes, the animation of "Five Centimeters in Seconds" should have a happy ending.
Because no matter how perfect its ending is, it will not actually change the view that "the comic ending is orthodox". The comics have been launched for several years. Now, whether on the Internet or in reality, wherever there is a topic of "Five Centimeters in Seconds", the focus of people's arguments will be on the animation ending, and no one has argued about the orthodox status of the comics.
The original ending has long been established, but many people still hope to have a fantasy, the fantasy of Minori and Kishu being together, but now the announcement of Phoenix Company has erased this fantasy and wiped it out without any mercy!
It seems that He Xi suddenly stood up and declared to readers like Ning Qing: "Don't fantasize, Mingli and Guishu can't be together! This story is so realistic. It has no possibility of a fairy tale. No matter which version or 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 heartbroken.
Among He Xi’s major fan groups, some readers started crying in words.
"It's so cruel. We don't even give us a chance to have a slight fantasy. Are there no possibility for Takaki and Jingju?"
"If I had known that such a thing would have happened, I would not have been trapped in the first place! If time could go back, I would never have read "Five Centimeters in Seconds", no... I would not have read any of Teacher He Xi's works!"
"I have been waiting for a few years, but I would rather not have this result! I would rather wait for the rest of my life, at least I can still imagine that Guishu and Mingli are together, so I would not be sentenced to death by Teacher He Xi like this!"
On Weibo, a high school girl posted a long article about herself giving up in the middle of the night: "I will never believe in love anymore, I will never believe in it for my whole life!"
This high school student is quite well-known in the reader circle. She watched "Five Centimeters in Seconds" a year ago and she cried so hard at the beginning, but it was because others said that the animation would have a good ending that she could hold on. She also posted a post saying that she had a dream of being together with Kishu and Mingli when she was sleeping.
In fact, there are many people who have dreamed this dream. Among the huge fans of "Five Centimeters in Seconds", nearly 50% of people who have dreamed related to comics. The infectiousness of this comic is so great that some people even have dreamed more than a dozen times.
Today, when I saw the news released by Phoenix Company, the high school student was heartbroken. She cried for several hours and didn't even eat supper. And the cruel thing was that she had a dream that night - dreaming that Kishu and Minori were wandering around countless worlds, and every time they were about to be together, they would always be ruthlessly divided by fate.
This dream is completely opposite to 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 believes in love, nor does she believe in He Xi again!
After this article came out, it instantly attracted countless responses.
"Teacher He Xi is too cruel. He betrayed us! If Takashi and Akira cannot be together, I will never read his comics again!"
"I want to go to Phoenix Company with a few friends to ask for an explanation, and I will go tomorrow!"
On Weibo and forum, some readers seemed very excited, which made many reporters excited.
Chapter completed!
