All-rounder Artist-Chapter 779 - 743: He Dajun Has No Face Left_1

The company moved swiftly. Before long, Li Songhua integrated an animation production company into the Starlight System. Immediately after the acquisition was completed, work on the animated version of 'Slam Dunk' began. On Blue Star, where technology was more advanced, this process was much faster than on Earth.

As soon as Lin Yuan provided some plot elements, they were able to finish a portion of the animation. The final result was to Lin Yuan's liking. This demonstrated the advantages of having superior technology. Of course, this was also due to the hard work and overtime put in by the staff, seemingly spurred by the chairman's promise of massive bonuses.

Everyone seemed to have awakened their ability to work late into the night, producing work till the heavens darkened with exhaustion—

Starlight was fast!

The Tribe was even faster!

Seemingly with the intent of a pre-emptive strike, while the public was still discussing Shadow's creation of a basketball manga, Tribe Comics' 'Basketball Heart' was officially launched on their stake-holding animation website. He Dajun's new work, which took many years to perfect, finally met its audience!

"You want to challenge me to a basketball showdown?"

"You're not good enough!"

"Who says a short guy can't play basketball?"

"Can you tall guys even guard me?"

The boy was like a beam of light, his short stature quickly dodging opponents, making successful layups. This was just the opening climax of the animated series, the main character's first astonishing display, the showiness only continued from there!

The thrill of it all!

The audience called it professional!

The animation tells the story of a genius basketball teenager who joins a college basketball team. Despite being an undeveloped middle schooler, he joins the high school basketball team and, relying on his amazing skills, he leads the bottom-ranked high school team to beat the other schools. It turns out that the boy's father is a former top-notch basketball player.

Because he was unjustly treated by his competitor, his basketball career came to an abrupt end. As a result, he can only train his prodigiously talented son at home…

In an attempt to ride the wave, the first five episodes of the animation were broadcast consecutively!

Watching it all at once, the plot is thoroughly awesome!

As the series unveils its mysteries, the manga version of 'Basketball Heart' appears on the Tribe platform, sparking widespread discussion. He Dajun's fans are ecstatic!

"It's amazing!"

"Who says short guys can't play basketball? That line is so inspiring! The protagonist is obviously a middle school student, with a height of less than 1.7 meters, but he could beat a bunch of high school students, even more exciting than the previous 'Basketball Fire'!"

"He Dajun is awesome, and the soundtrack is incredibly good too!" Experience more content on novelbuddy

"Story, visuals, soundtrack, all top-tier!"

"The protagonist's father seems really powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have nurtured such a talented son. I'm looking forward to seeing his father in action. It's no wonder this piece --- which He Dajun spent years perfecting --- is so anticipated!"

"Dajun has already won!"

"Shadow is screwed now!"

"Even if he is the number one person in the manga world, no one can compete with He Dajun when it comes to basketball manga. Anyone who confronts this animation will die. It's been a long time since we've had such an inspiring and thrilling sports program. Dajun is undoubtedly the number one person in the sports manga world!"

On the Tribe platform!

The audience is full of praise!

He Dajun's pacing and excitement are completely on point, stirring up a lot of audience emotions. Although there are flaws in character development, and the protagonist's exploits are shockingly exaggerated, everyone is genuinely thrilled by the plot. Thus, its merits outweigh its demerits. Overall, it can be said to be an excellent animation!

Meanwhile.

Some of Shadow's fans also started watching this manga. As they were watching, Shadow's fans suddenly felt that something was off.

It wasn't because the animation was outstanding.

Instead, they smelled something familiar in the manga!

"Damn!"

"Isn't the protagonist's background similar to the one in 'King of the Net'?"

"Damn, you're right! No wonder I have a strong sense of deja vu!"

"Long Ma also joined a senior club at the beginning, Long Ma also has a super powerful retired father, Long Ma isn't tall, and he likes to say 'you're not there yet'. This protagonist likes to say 'you're not good enough', isn't that the same thing?"

"He Dajun has no shame!"

"Isn't this a rip-off of 'King of the Net'? He's just changed the sport from tennis to basketball!"

"The worst part is, he doesn't even do a good job of copying!"

"Forget the similarities in the settings, he can't even hold a candle to 'King of the Net' in terms of character development. After three episodes, it's all about the protagonist showing off, and it's so blatantly exaggerated!"

"..."

Shadow's fans were angry. The more they watched, the more the protagonist seemed like a rip-off of Long Ma from 'King of the Net'. They didn't expect He Dajun to have such a thick skin!

All of a sudden.

He Dajun's fans also started to get upset, saying, "What, because we are now hot, you are like a rat running up a beam in desperation?"

"Why do I feel so sour?"

"Those who claim that Dajun copied 'King of the Net' really have a lot of nerve, could you please first acknowledge the fact that tennis and basketball are not the same sport!"

"Aren't all sports manga protagonist always set as young geniuses?"

"So only you can have that? The early protagonist of Dajun's 'Basketball Fire' was also a genius. So, can I claim that Shadow and Chu Kuang actually copied Dajun?"

"The art style of sports manga protagonists is all the same, have you guys even read sports manga?"

"..."

Both sides had actually started arguing again!

Amid the quarrel, 'Basketball Heart' became a hotter and hotter topic, with its popularity continuously increasing!

Just then.

He Dajun suddenly posted an update:

"It's true that the more popular you are, the more trouble you encounter. First off, 'Basketball Heart' is something I created ten years ago as my debut. Back then, I didn't even know who Shadow was, so how could I have plagiarized his work? Not to mention the big difference between basketball and tennis.

It seems like people are obsessed with empty reputation, a supposedly number one sports manga artist, fighting with a mob of fans, looks quite unseemly. I have always been indifferent about chasing after such empty titles, but if someone tries to challenge my works because of it, that's something I cannot tolerate.

I'd like to say this to a certain fan base, please don't try to win by defaming others. We manga artists speak through our works, putting all your energy into the work is the most important thing."

At this time, 'Basketball Heart' was already on fire.

He Dajun's post immediately received hundreds of supportive comments from fans:

"Well said!"

"Dajun has always been indifferent, never wanted to compete for any number one title, so why try to throw dirt?"

"Don't agree? Let the work speak for itself!"

"Didn't your idol also draw a basketball manga?"

"Ha, why don't you bring out his basketball manga for comparison?"

"If you can't bring out the work, just shouting about it, is really just disgraceful!"

"Isn't he the so-called 'number one manga artist'?"

"A dignified number one manga artist, can't draw a better basketball manga than Dajun? Seems like there's nothing amazing about being the top manga artist."

"..."

Compared to Dajun, Shadow's fans were already taken aback and after seeing the quality of 'Basketball Heart', they were even more awe-struck!

Damn!

Shadow's fans were furious!

He Dajun's statement was clearly a case of equivocation!

But just then, Shadow's status was finally updated: "Tonight at seven, 'Slam Dunk' will be officially released, and the manga version will also be logged in Alliance."

All at once!

The argument on both sides suddenly halted.

Further arguing seemed pointless, once 'Slam Dunk' was released, this drama should come to an end.

The stronger ones will be known at a glance.

Both sides temporarily stopped their feud.

But everyone knew:

Behind this brief silence was a storm brewing.

When the clock struck seven that night, 'Slam Dunk' was finally released.

At first, people didn't realize that an unprecedented basketball storm had officially begun...
