A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 263 Development
The fact that Xia Yan was hacked can be said to have been expected by the industry.

Although he has a good reputation in the fan community, even if everyone complains about him, he just complains about his bad taste that he likes to cut chapters at critical moments.

But in the animation world, he is a complete spoiler.

Magical Girl Madoka has made all the so-called big-production animations in Longguo unable to hold their heads up for a whole year. To put it bluntly, it is difficult for animation fans who have eaten to go back and eat shit.

After watching the magic circle, fans are going to watch the big productions and big publicity cut-and-dried anime that the three major animation companies like to do, and the number of people who buy it must have decreased.

Coupled with the fact that Xia Yan's achievements in the past seven years are so good, and Cyberpunk Frontier Walker is indeed showing signs of taking off after four episodes, it is certainly impossible for the three major animation companies to just do nothing like this.

But Xia Yan would come forward and provoke them in turn, which made them unexpected.

After all, there is indeed a big gap between Xia Tang Animation and the three big companies in terms of size. Isn't it normal for the big brothers in the industry to take action to punish a few younger brothers who are dancing happily?

We hate you, you bear it, if the work still achieves excellent results, the three major animation companies will not say anything, this is called inferior skills, if you lose, you lose.

But if you stab your head like this from the beginning, is that okay?
What's more, Xia Yan's actions also embarrass the three major animation companies. On the surface, he is just indifferent, and he didn't spend a penny to post a few words on the Internet.

But if the three major animation companies can't even suppress Xia Yan's provocative behavior, then they won't have much prestige in the entire animation industry.

The next day, the operating departments of the three companies held a collective meeting.

at the meeting..
"So what do we do now?"

"This matter has already become the third most searched topic on the Nine Heavens Forum, the largest Two-dimensional gathering place in the Dragon Kingdom, and many Dragon Kingdom animation fans are in a state of eating melons."

"How dare he, a person who hasn't graduated from university? He thinks he created a magic circle and is so defiant? For decades in Longguo, there have been a lot of excellent animation works. Among other things, our three major animation works In the company's history, who doesn't have more than a dozen so-called Fengshen animation works?"

"But the hero doesn't mention the bravery in the past. In fact, Xia Yan is not competing with the predecessors in the history of our three major companies, but with our current staff."

"I can't lose. Since the other party said that from last week until the end of his work, he will never be surpassed by other works in terms of ratings. As long as the work of any of our three companies can win in the next two months His rhetoric becomes a joke when the ratings are at the top for a week.”

"Do you really think you are a god? His Sword Art Online and Initial D have been serialized for almost a year, and he has not surpassed Chilong and Another World Reformer in sales of single volumes. How can he be confident that in just one quarter, three In a month's time, relying on his new animation to suppress the adaptation animations of these two works?"

Since Xia Yan refused to admit defeat and made those remarks on the Internet, the three major animation companies worked together to double their efforts to spend money to hire the navy black cyberpunk.

The animation teams of the three animations "Red Dragon", "Reformer in Another World" and "Speed ​​Crash Landing" also frequently appear on TV and accept media interviews.

Of course, the content of the interview is also controlled by them. They always inadvertently lead the topic to the cyberpunk edgewalker, and then say in TV interviews or print media interviews that the cyberpunk edgewalker is not good and the production quality is low. Children will learn to be bad after reading it, the protagonist's three views are not correct, and the core idea of ​​the work is not conducive to moral condemnation such as the great unity of the Dragon Kingdom.

The laws of Longguo are relatively strict in this regard, after all, you are black and black, but you still can't go too far, you can't spread rumors, you can't make up nonsense, and the three major companies can't go too far, but it may be misleading for ordinary animation fans, but some Old people in the Two-dimensional industry are not so easy to fool.

If the protagonist joins a gang organization, the three views are wrong, so what are the animations of those three major animation companies whose protagonist travels to a different world to dominate the local master's grandfather?
In the animation, when someone dies, it is bloody. In the animation before, the protagonist Long Aotian killed hundreds of people at every turn.

And Xia Yan's fans, seeing Xia Yan's exit, suddenly had a backbone, and also gathered in the comment area of ​​the official website of the three animations to ridicule them.

All in all, after a few days, the entire Longguo animation forum area was full of smoke and smoke, and fans of Xia Yan and the three animations could be seen tearing up everywhere.

Moreover, these behaviors of bilateral animation fans have also intensified the conflicts between Xia Yan in the novel industry and the novel fans of "Another World Revolutionary", and the comic industry and "Red Dragon" comic fans.

In the comics industry and the light novel industry, news about Xia Yan also came one after another.

Before the launch of the autumn animation market, no one in the entire industry thought that the market would develop like this one month after the broadcast.

However, Beizhou Comic Club and Liuli Book Club also know marketing. Xia Yan's Cyberpunk Edge Walker doesn't matter how they are burned in the animation industry, but since it has already burned in the novel industry, they will definitely not sit idly by, no matter what He said that Xia Yan is now the face of the two companies, and related marketing activities have been launched one after another.

For example, the promotion direction of the latest volume of light novels of Initial D and Sword Art Online is directed at the two works of Chilong and Another World Revolutionary.

Your two works are competing with Xia Yan's new animation in the field of adapted animation for ratings data, and in the field of original novels and comics, you will also compete in the sales of the latest volume.

The so-called involuntary commercial competition is just such a thing.

Xia Yan, Chi Long and the author of the Revolutionary of Another World have never met each other, but the three parties have developed and developed, and they have become enemies for various reasons. Now the fans of the three parties are hostile to each other. As creators, they only To be on the same side as the fans.

Soon, it's the weekend again.

The fifth episodes of the three works of Revolutionary in Another World, Red Dragon, and Extreme Crash Landing have been broadcast one after another.

The audience ratings are 4.47%, 4.51%, and 4.37%, which are overall improvements compared to last week.

Although the ratings have only improved by a few thousand points, at least Chiron's ratings for this week's episode surpassed last week's 4.49% ratings for the fourth episode of Cyberpunk.

This also made the three major animation companies breathe a sigh of relief.

It's normal for animation broadcasts to have ups and downs in ratings. Last week, Cyberpunk Edgewalker had an interesting plot, and the ratings soared to 4.49%. It's not impossible for it to drop below 4.3% this week.

On Sunday, many people in the animation industry were in ups and downs, waiting to see the results of the fifth episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker tonight.

It would be ridiculous if Xia Yan had just uttered bold words on the Internet that he would not lose, and he would be slapped in the face and the ratings of the work would plummet.

It will definitely become a huge black history in his life.

But in fact, what makes many Xia Yansaizi uncomfortable is that this situation did not happen.

The plot of the fifth episode will soon enter the main line of the whole work. The Mann team where the protagonist belongs wants to get some news from Tanaka, the high-level Arasaka, and this Tanaka is the one who insulted the protagonist David’s mother and was beaten by David. The father of a college classmate.

The plot of this entire episode is about the protagonist and his team kidnapping Tanaka, the top executive of Arasaka Company.

Although it is not the most anticipated protagonist's story of David and Lucy's relationship with sweet sugar, but.
The ratings of the fifth episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker were calculated by Modu TV1 the next day, 4.52%.

No more, no less, just 0.01% more ratings than Chilong.

This achievement is extremely ironic.

Although there is no huge lead, it is still the first of the week.

After the results came out, Xia Yan also exclaimed in his heart that he was lucky.

He was a little careless, thinking that after Cyberpunk Edgewalker topped the ratings last week, it would be difficult for its three competitors to surpass in this week.

Because everyone knows the plot of Chilong and the Revolutionary from Another World from the novel, the fifth episode will not have any big hits, otherwise Xia Yan would not be so confident.

But I didn't expect that this episode of Chilong, not relying on the animation plot to increase the ratings so much, but relying on the original animation plot, forcibly giving the heroine a swimsuit and bonus, attracted a group of old-timers in the animation industry to stop and watch, forcibly Boost ratings.

That's right, the Dragon Kingdom animation industry will also play this set. The animation production team likes to make swimsuit collections while broadcasting, which has no meaning in promoting the main storyline. .

This also made Xia Yan almost slapped in the face.
But if the fifth episode of Cyberpunk didn't turn over, in the office, Xia Yan put down the report in his hand, and his eyes flashed with relief.

After that, it will basically not roll over.

Cyberpunk Edgewalker has a total of ten episodes, and the first five episodes and the last five episodes are not of the same level of script.

The first five episodes simply describe how a young man with a miserable life fell from a high-achieving student to the bottom of society and became a cyberpunk story.

In the last five episodes of the original animation in the parallel world, it will tell the audience with an explosive and depressing plot, why the name David Martinez can leave a name in the afterlife bar in the original game and become Night City one of the legends.

Of course, there is no such game as Cyberpunk 2077 in Dragon Kingdom. Animation fans can only get their understanding of Night City from animation, so there is no word on the Internet that matches this animation.

In Night City, there are no living legends!
Cyberpunk has reached the top ratings for two consecutive weeks, which really makes the three major animation production companies lose face.

The time has entered the first ten days of August, and the three companies are still adding animation promotion for several of their works.

Words to smear Xia Yan's work are still emerging endlessly under their arrangement.

But Xia Yan is too lazy to care about this here, he has already started to sign a series of BD production and sales contracts and peripheral production and sales contracts with major peripheral manufacturers.

Unlike Magical Girl Madoka, the Xia Tang animation production company is not what it used to be, and the manufacturers it cooperates with are not those small and medium-sized companies.

It's the real top company in the industry of Longguo.

"Mr. Xia Yan, don't worry, you will be very satisfied if you choose to cooperate with us. The three major animation production companies still want us to listen to them and not cooperate with you. Hehe, we immediately rejected their unreasonable request."

The pot-bellied executive of the other company who signed the contract with Xia Yan put his arms around Xia Yan's shoulders and said with a bold smile.

Xia Yan only responded to the other party with a polite smile.

But the other party's words also made Xia Yan understand.

The three companies have also engaged in these small tricks!
If Xiatang Animation Production Company is really a small and unknown company, and the three of them speak like this, then it may be difficult for Xiatang Animation to find any suitable and powerful partners in the industry.

The problem is that although Xiatang Animation is a small company, Xia Yan is very famous. The BD sales volume of his Magical Girl Madoka animation is the record holder in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry. The average sales volume of the theatrical animation is several million. Even if the ratings and popularity of cyberpunk are not as good as that of the Magic Circle, there are too many elements suitable for sale in the animation of Cyberpunk Edgewalker. Anyway, it is the current animation. Judging from the broadcast ratings, the sales of its BD and other peripheral products cannot be low.

Cooperating with Xia Yan is at least a business with a revenue of several hundred million. Your three major animation companies rely on one sentence to prevent people from making this money?

How is it possible, the face of the three major animation companies is not worth so much money.

This is also one of the reasons why Xia Yan dares to ignore the other party's status in the industry and the hard steel of the other party. In the Longguo Two-dimensional industry, no company has a monopoly position and only covers the sky with one hand. As long as you are valuable, then Xia Yan is not afraid of the other party at all. No matter what small actions you make, you will always find someone to cooperate with.

"Then the release date of the first volume of bd will not be changed?" The other party confirmed with Xia Yan again.

"Well, it will be on the third day after the Cyberpunk Edgewalker animation ends," Xia Yan said with a smile.

After all, it takes two days for the fans to slow down the plot, Xia Yan is quite kind.

"Understood, happy cooperation."

The other party stretched out a fat hand to hold Xia Yan.

"Pleasant to work with."

On Friday, the sixth episode of Chilong started airing.

However, this week, its ratings have dropped slightly, from 4.51% last week to 4.37%. The daily plot of the protagonist is really difficult to attract fans to stop and watch.

But on Saturday, the 4.54% viewership rating of the sixth episode of Revolutionary of the Different World is very impressive.

The plot of this episode is also not very bright, but its production is amazing.

Just like the [-]th episode of the TV animation of the parallel world Ghost Slayer: Blade of the Gods, many animation fans of this work fell into the pit in that episode, but if you look at the plot description of the original manga, it is actually sparse and ordinary , nothing too amazing.

If only this episode is counted, the animation is given [-] points, and the manga is only given [-] points. It is a rare creation of animation that far surpasses the original manga.

The same plot, with different animations, storyboards, soundtracks, and voice actors full of emotion, can have different feelings.

This episode of The Revolutionary of Another World is somewhat similar to this situation.

After Xia Yan watched this episode, even though he was in a competitive relationship with the other party, he also admired the strength of the other party's production team.

The three big animation companies are not the big three that are blown out, the people under them are really capable!

But the most amazing animation series aired this week is not the revolutionaries from another world, but the sixth episode of the original animation "Crash Landing".

plot, production, ignition, music, storyboard
In this episode, the expressiveness of this animation can be called the best episode of the whole work so far.

This is the case with sports animations. The episode in which the protagonist wins a certain competition must be the climax of the whole episode and the most popular episode.

After this episode aired, animation fans directly praised it for one night, and when the ratings were released the next day, they also surprised the entire animation industry with a ratings of 4.59%.

Many people complained directly in their hearts, damn it
This quarter, the Longguo animation industry is really fighting with gods.

Although the fans of the four works smear each other, to be honest, the four works are very good, and none of them are hip-moving. Except for the year when the magic circle was born last year, these four works have been in the animation industry of Longguo in the past five years. Opportunity to compete for the best TV animation gold award of the year, but now it crashes in one season?

But as soon as the 4.59% viewership rate of the sixth episode of Crash Landing came out, Xia Yan's fan base panicked a little on Sunday.

The fourth episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker has a 4.49% ratings, and the fifth episode has a 4.52% ratings.
If this work is to continue to maintain the No. [-] rating for a single episode this week, it will be difficult.
It's a little big!

The principle of traveling a hundred miles and a half ninety times is the same in any industry.

For an animation work to reach this 4.5% ratings rating, an increase of 0.01% ratings is probably greater than an increase from 3.0% ratings to 3.1%.

The animation fans who made an emergency landing during the day haven't said much yet.

After all, for original animation, fans only follow the works, and the circle consciousness is not so heavy.

But the novels, comics, and animation fans of Chilong and the other world revolutionaries can't hold back anymore.

Although this achievement was not achieved by the work they were chasing, in any case, as long as Crash Landing won the first place in the ratings of the animation market this week.

Xia Yan's crazy words two weeks ago became the best tool for him to slap himself.

Many people have already begun to sarcasm, and laughed out on the forum, and they were full of yin and yang to fans of the Cyberpunk Edgewalker animation.

Although the specific results will not be confirmed until the sixth episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker is broadcast in the evening, but judging from the growth of the ratings of this animation before, there is a high probability that Xia Yan's previous rhetoric will become a joke tonight . .
