I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 194 Death Note
After 2000, the most popular comic works are none other than the three major migrant worker animations.

Liu Jin took out his phone from his pocket.

"Meira, are you asleep?"

"Just getting ready to rest."

"Tomorrow, no, today, before you go on holiday, can you do me a favor?"

"what's up?"

"I want to know what comics have been influential and excellent since the 1980s."

"What does it mean to have a huge impact? What does it mean to have excellent content?"

"Since 1990, Xiao Rizi has been in the top ten best-selling comics every year..."

"Since 1990, right?"

"Yes!"

"I'll contact Ottilie later and ask her to communicate with the Dagao Group.

Dagao Group should have more comprehensive information and data on comics. Once they're sorted out, I'll have them send it to you.

Liu, you are not planning to change your career, are you? "

"Of course not, it's just..."

Liu Jin thought about it and said with a smile: "I just want to have some fun."

"That's good!"

Meila was on the phone, visibly relieved.

Liu Jin hung up the phone, got up and walked into the house, took out a notebook from his backpack, and wrote down the incident.

Wait, a laptop?

Looking at the black calfskin notebook in his hand, Liu Jin's eyes flashed.

He thought of a work that had great influence but had not yet appeared.

"death Note"!
In 2004, this comic was written by the daily life cartoonist Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata.

The god of death, Ruka, was tired of life in the world of death, so he deliberately left a Death Note in the human world.

Light Yagami, a high school student who is also tired of life on earth, gets the Death Note. After the death of the experimental subject and his encounter with Rook who is looking for the note, he confirms the authenticity of the note and decides to use the power of the note to eliminate the criminals.

The mysterious detective L takes over the investigation and engages in a life-and-death battle with Light Yagami.

A very, very, how should I put it, cut-style work.

Its connotation has also been recognized and sought after in Europe and the United States.

Later, there were animated works and live-action drama versions, and then Hollywood bought the copyright and remade it...

In China, this work was listed as a banned book in 15.

In other words, this work has not yet appeared.

It is now 2001, and it will soon be 2002.

Ohba Tsugumi probably hasn't come up with any ideas in this regard yet, so he has plenty of time to get this work done first.

Because the content of this work is too easy to translate into Chinese.

What Death Note? It's China's Book of Life and Death...

What is Light Yagami? He is actually the judge.

He has to fight against an entire criminal group alone, while being chased by the police and the mysterious opponent L.

Location: Hong Kong Island.

It definitely cannot be placed in China. All the crimes are in Hong Kong Island.

As for the time, just before the return, Hong Kong Island was the most chaotic place with many criminals.

Consortiums, compradors, societies, powder vendors...

Everything!

The more Liu Jin thought about it, the more he felt he had a clue. He simply sat down on the sofa and began to record his inspiration in a notebook.

A good memory is worse than a bad pen!

It’s been a year since my rebirth, and the novice period should be almost over.

Liu Jin must record every burst of inspiration...

Before I knew it, the east was turning white.

……

I didn’t sleep all night and I’m very sleepy.

But because of the burst of inspiration, I was also very excited.

Liu Jin didn't dare to drive, so he walked to school.

The weather today is a bit gloomy.

The temperature is also a little bit.

He changed into a short coat, picked out a cross-body bag, and walked out of the house.

Fortunately, my residence is not too far from the school, only half an hour away.

When he arrived at school and walked into the classroom, he found that several people in his class had recovered.

Zheng Hui returned to Po County, and several other people also asked for leave.

Fortunately, Jimmy and his three companions were still there. Seeing Liu Jin sitting listlessly in his seat, Jimmy strolled over and sat down beside him.

"Any plans for the 31st?"

Liu Jin was taking a nap.

He was almost dying of sleep...

After the excitement wore off, I felt drowsy.

He forced himself to answer, "No plans."

"What's wrong with you? Did you do something bad last night?" Selena, who was sitting in the back and chatting with Martina, both pricked up their ears.

"What a bad thing to do, I'm working on a script."

"What script?"

"Comic script."

"You can draw comics? Wait, that best-selling book 'Wall-E' this month was drawn by you, right?"

"Yes!"

"Fake Squid."

"I reject!"

"No, you... When I first saw the author's name, I didn't think of you.

It’s so damn good looking!”

Wall-E, a total of ninety episodes.

Dagao Group publishes the book in three volumes, and the first volume is now on the market.

"Where are the drafts? Let me see them."

"The manuscript is at the publishing house, and I don't have it in my hands."

“When will the second volume be released?”

"I'm not sure. It probably depends on the sales of the first volume. Since the first volume was released, it has sold over 400,000 copies..."

"Then you've made a killing, haven't you?"

Liu Jin frowned and did not answer.

"What? Very low?"

"It's not bad. After all, we haven't received it yet... But my partner gave me a rough estimate. So far, we should be able to get more than 6 million or 7 million francs. That's about it. The exact figure will be known in June of next year. After all, there are still two volumes that haven't been released yet. 30 million francs, that's my own estimate."

"Fake Squid!"

"I reject!"

Behind him, Martina couldn't help but curse and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Lao Liu, do writers make that much money?"

Selina couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel that all the writers in China are so poor?"

Liu Jin turned his head and glanced at him.

Just wait another twenty years and you’ll see that everyone is rich.

……

Russell's class is in the morning.

But Liu Jin really couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the table.

Russell didn't disturb him, just glanced at him and continued teaching.

A class passed by quietly.

Liu Jin was pushed awake by Sun Yue. It turned out that Russell was ready to leave the get out of class.

"Tomorrow, the holiday will begin. I wish you all a happy new year in advance and hope that everyone can enjoy a wonderful holiday."

“Bonnes années!”

"Well, get out of class is dismissed!"

As Russell announced the end of get out of class, cheers suddenly rang out in the classroom.

This class, which is also your last class in 2001, is finally over!

Liu Jin packed his schoolbag in a daze, said hello to everyone, and walked out of the classroom.

He wants to go home and sleep!

"Dongqi, take me with you for a while and send me back."

"Where's your car?"

"I was too sleepy today and didn't ride my bike."

"Okay, wait for me at the school gate. I'll go ride my bike."

Liu Jin staggered out of the school gate.

At this time, the haze dissipated and the sun became brighter.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket and was about to light it when a car stopped by the roadside in front of the school gate.

An acquaintance got out of the car.

"Liu, how are you lately?"

"Koster?"

Liu Jin was stunned and looked over Koster's shoulder at the car parked on the side of the road.

"What's up?"

"There's something... Mr. Park wants to talk to you."

Liu Jin looked at Koster, and after a moment, he suddenly laughed.

"There's nothing much to talk about. If he wants to sue me, I'll accompany him. As for other matters, let's follow the rules.

He knows exactly what his son has done. Fry is my brother, so I will stick with him this time...

Koster, we have worked together before and have some friendship.

You should know my temper. I never gave in when it came to Madam Rosalie's matter.

This time, it’s the same… Ever since his son dared to call me ‘the boss’, I’ve been at loggerheads with him.”
