A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 277 Discussion and Decision

On Tuesday, the entire Longguo animation industry was still immersed in the impact of the conclusion of the cyberpunk animation on the industry.

Rebecca Sauce
Adam Hammer
Lucy
David
These characters in this animation also climbed to the top or reversed in the selection of various characters in Dragon Kingdom.
Especially Adam Heavy Hammer, the animation has just finished, and there is no Adam Heavy Hammer's character peripherals, but many first-tier city comic exhibitions directly use animation screenshot posters as entrance carpets, and every fan who enters the venue will slap his face. Step on your feet hard.

And after the animation is over, let's take a look at this animation again
There are various interpretations, and the foreshadowing of the animation from the first episode runs through the whole work.

Moreover, after the end of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, Xia Yan's fan group also began to argue about one thing.

Which work is better, the Magic Circle or the Cyberpunk Edgewalker?
In terms of the results of the tv animation serialization alone, Magical Girl Madoka is obviously better, but many fans don't even look at those statistics.

As far as subjective feelings are concerned, those older animation fans prefer cyberpunk edgewalkers.

Moreover, the tragic and poignant ending of this work made them sad, but it also made them remember it even more.

In the early morning of Tuesday, these fans got up early in the morning and formed a long queue at the door of the major surrounding stores near their home.

The first volume of BD of Cyberpunk Edgewalker actually reached 20 copies before it was released, including the number of online shopping and the number of sales that audiences pre-ordered through physical stores.
A record-breaking figure in the sales history of Longguo Animation BD.

Of course, such exaggerated sales are not entirely due to the quality of this work, and a considerable part of the reason is that Xia Yan is too popular in the animation industry now.

How hot is it?
His existence is the social topic focus of Two-dimensional fans.

A group of Two-dimensional fans get together, and the conversation always tends to focus on Xia Yan.

What is the initial D male protagonist being green, whether Asuna was ntr by him during the process of being detained by Xu Xiang, whether there is any new news about the second part of the Magical Girl Madoka theatrical version.

It can be said that in the current Longguo Two-dimensional circle, you may not like Xia Yan's works, but if you don't understand and watch his works at all, there will be a generation gap between you and other Two-dimensional fans. .

Last year, Magical Girl Madoka was a phenomenal work of the year.This year, Cyberpunk Edgewalker once again set off such a viewing storm in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

Many passer-by animation fans who have never seen this work at all are completely coerced by the market and marketing at this time, and they come to buy bd one after another to make up for it.

This is why the BD sales of Cyberpunk Edgewalker exploded in the first week.

Starting from Tuesday, animation fans on the Internet are mostly showing off their Cyberpunk Edgewalker animation bd.

But the fans of Modu are arrogant after all.

After all, Xia Yan will hold a bd signing event on the spot, and even take photos with fans.

For a whole week, the Longguo animation industry was immersed in the ending storm of Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

And in this process, the most embarrassing thing is the three works of the three major animation production companies this quarter.

Chilong, a revolutionary from another world, made an emergency landing.
There are only ten episodes of Cyberpunk Frontier Walker, which ended in early and mid-September, but these three works are still being serialized.

As for the ratings, they didn’t drop too much anyway, they still fluctuated in the 4% range, but compared with the 6% ratings level of the last episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, it was at least one or two levels worse.

Although the pre-sale of bd animation has also started, judging from the current pre-sale situation, the first week is only tens of thousands of volumes.

This situation embarrasses the three major animation production companies
For two consecutive years, being hit head-on by a start-up company in the animation industry like this really made them feel ashamed.

But for animation, good is good, and bad is bad. This is not buying luxury goods. Animation fans in the market only care about whether the animation is good or not. As for the animation produced by your big company or small company, for many fans, It doesn't matter.

Soon, the sales data of the first volume bd of Cyberpunk Edgewalker will be released.

As of today, bd has been on sale for a week, plus 20 pre-sold copies
Cyberpunk Edgewalker volume 37's first week bd sales hit a whopping [-] copies
After the data was announced, major animation forum websites and news media simultaneously published articles for publicity.

[Sales exceeded 30 copies in the first week, and the first volume of Cyberpunk Edge Walker bd once again achieved a sales miracle. 】

[Compared to the magic circle, the sales volume of the first volume of Cyberpunk Edge Walker bd has significantly improved, but the sales data of more than 30 copies is based on the premise that Xia Yan is now very popular in the industry, On the whole, the author does not think that the influence of Cyberpunk Edgewalker surpasses that of Magic Circle. 】

[Magic Circle fans and Edgewalker fans have been fighting each other wildly on the Internet this week. Which of the two works is better depends on whether Cyberpunk Edgewalker has a chance to surpass Magical Girl Madoka's million volumes in bd sales average miracle sales. 】

[Cyberpunk Edgewalker once again created a historical sales miracle in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry. Judging from this sales trend, it is very likely to become another popular animation with an average bd volume sales of more than one million besides Madoka Magica. 】

[The end of the whole week, the popularity of cyberpunk edgewalkers continues to grow. Last year, Magical Girl Madoka has stirred up the wind and rain in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry. For two consecutive years, two phenomenal animation works, Magic City's Xia Yan, is it true that at the age of 20, he will reach the No.1 title in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry? 】

[Three animation works, the highest ratings of one animation episode broke 4%, and the highest ratings of two episodes broke 6%. Untouchable height. 】

[Cyberpunk Edgewalker animation peripherals will be launched on the official website of Shanghai TV1 next week, the official website of Xiatang Animation, and the online shopping area of ​​Jiuxiao Forum. Among them, the peripheral products with the highest pre-order volume are Rebecca q-version coasters, and the cup body is made Cheng Adam's appearance and image, this cup set priced at 39 Dragon National Coins has been pre-sold up to 27 copies. In terms of fun, it has to be the official Xia Tang animation. 】

[While the influence of Cyberpunk Frontier Walker continues to spread in the Dragon Kingdom, fans also leave messages in the comment area of ​​Xiatang Animation's official website asking for the production of the second episode.From the perspective of the plot structure, this animation has a lot to offer, the villain Adam Hammer has not died, and Lucy is still alive, maybe we can look forward to the story of the second season of this work.]

Xia Yan looked at the news on the Internet that reported cyberpunk edgewalkers. After a long time, he let out a long breath.

This week, he was very sensitive to these things, and he was still playing tricks at the three major animation companies on the embankment at this time, and bribed the navy to maliciously smear the cyberpunk edgewalker.

But in fact, he was too worried. The three major animation companies really couldn’t figure out how to hack this work. In terms of the plot and the depth of the work, this work has completely exploded their single three animations this season, and if It was the black spot of finding Xia Yan, the creator.

Can't find it either.
I have been enrolled in Shanghai University for three years, my grades are normal, I have not failed any subjects, I don't even have a girlfriend, and I have no gossip.
In the eyes of those who hate him in the industry, Xia Yan is that seamless egg that can't find a place to bite.

"It's finally over." Xia Yan leaned back on his work chair.

After entering the junior year, his classwork has decreased a lot, and he is now a special student in the department.

Xia Yan has made such great achievements in the two-dimensional industry, it can be said that Shanghai University is promoting Xia Yan as a positive example in its enrollment.

After Xia Yan entered the university, under the guidance of the teachers of the Department of Literature, his creative ability has greatly improved, so he created works such as Magic Circle and Edge Walker. Even if Xia Yan couldn't attend on-site because the company was busy, he had to clock in to make up the online class later, and the teacher would turn a blind eye to him.

Xia Yan looked from his office to the outside office area.

Now the number of people in his company has increased again in the past two weeks, and it has risen to more than 200 people.

But now the company is in the aftermath of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, which has just been produced, and many people have no jobs at hand, and they are also in a state of fishing in the company.

"I have to finish the proposal for the new work quickly and get my subordinates active." Xia Yan whispered to himself.

He doesn't care about paying his subordinates for a month or two. The salary of 500 people is only [-] million Dragon National Coins for a month or two. Judging from the BD sales data of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, this In the end, the animation will bring Xia Yan more than hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, which is a small amount of staff expenses for Xia Yan now.

But the problem of laziness cannot be raised.

Whether it's for the employees of the company or for Xia Yan himself, once he relaxes now
Xia Yan reckons it is not impossible for him to play for ten or eight years without doing anything and indulge in a state of doing nothing.

At this time, Xia Yan's cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Hmm. I've made it very clear."

"Yes, there are only the last three weeks left, and Mo Ran and I have already made a decision, just three weeks later, you don't need to persuade the editor-in-chief anymore"

"A new work? A new work will be released within a month, please rest assured."

"Initial D's closing signing event? This... can indeed be considered. But I hope to limit it to ten days, within seven cities. After all, I have to take care of my studies."

Xia Yan hung up the phone. In this month, No.13 had called the editor-in-chief of Beizhou Comic Club fourteen times.

Originally, people would come to talk to Xia Yan in person about such important matters, but Xia Yan is too busy, and has to take care of work in the animation, comics, and novel industries. There is really no way to spare time to do these things. Many things are discussed on the phone.

Initial D will be serialized in the "Beizhou" issue in early October.

The ending plot is the scene where Tu Hai chooses to join the Gaoliang team and leaves Qiu Mingshan.

Anyway, Xia Yan is not interested in the content of the manga after the plot of Initial D, and naturally, he is not interested in moving the content of the latter to Longguo.

But now he is the representative cartoonist of Beizhou Comics Club. After the initial D is finished, he has to consider the impact on the sales of Beizhou Comics Club.

After repeated discussions with the other party, Xia Yan also agreed to start the serialization of the new work in October when Initial D is over.

This is also the last concession that Beizhou Comic Club can make. Although Beizhou has no contract to bind Xia Yan, the cooperation between the two parties, in addition to the cold contract, also has to talk about moral issues. Xia Yan can really ignore it completely. For the benefit of Beizhou Comic Club, after completing the initial D, he will go wandering by himself for a few years.

But this will only tarnish his reputation in the industry. A cartoonist who becomes self-willed and immoral after being criticized by others will invisibly narrow his own path, and the gains outweigh the losses.

As for the new comics
Xia Yan is still thinking about it.

In the process of serializing Initial D and making the animation of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, Xia Yan also saw many excellent works in Yuan Qing's memory.

However, considering Xia Yan's current status in the industry, he would not easily transfer ordinary works.

Now what fans expect from Xia Yan is Initial D, Magic Circle, and Cyberpunk Edgewalker. You can come up with better works or works that are not far behind but at the same level.
But it is definitely not possible to produce works such as Youth Journey, which will limit the improvement of Xia Yan's influence in the industry.

Just like Hayao Miyazaki in the parallel world, when people think of him, they will think of works such as Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away. If he can create another movie of the same level in his later years, it will be really amazing.On the contrary, if he produces ten more inferior animated films like Listening to You and Fairy Tales of the Years, it will not help his influence in the industry.

Therefore, after Xia Yan's influence in the industry has grown to this point, the options will narrow.

There is no such level of work that crushes all aspects, surpasses the magic circle, and surpasses the initial D.

Just looking purely at the sales data, maybe one, two, three, four or five can be compared.

But in terms of the quality of the works, these works are actually on the same level. The biggest reason for the sales gap is the audience of the subject matter.

In a country with a lot of basketball fans, people will only watch it if you make basketball animations. This is why the influence of slam dunks in the parallel world far exceeds that of young soccer players in China.

But does this mean that the slam dunk crushed the young football player in all directions?
In the world, the football theme is actually more popular. For example, in Europe and the United States, the influence of young football players is more powerful than slam dunks.

So in fact, Xia Yan can obtain works in Yuan Qing's memory, and there is no work that can surpass the initial D and the magic circle.

It can only be said that these top-level works are classic masterpieces in their respective categories, and the sales ranking is affected by the number of audiences of the subject matter.

And these works are much less in number.

Moreover, in addition to the new manga to be serialized, the company's new animation plan has to be finalized.

Another week later, on the day when Xiatang Animation released the second volume of the Cyberpunk Edgewalker TV animation bd, it also announced a news through the three channels of Modu TV1 Tai, Jiuxiao Forum, and Xiatang Animation official website.

After the release of all three volumes of Cyberpunk Edgewalker TV animation BD in September
Within two months, the first bd of the Cyberpunk Edgewalker movie animation will be released simultaneously
[The legend of Night City is not over yet! 】

Accompanied by the launch of this promotional slogan.
In mid-to-late September, the animation world of Longguo was once again turned upside down by cyberpunk fringe walkers.

"Theatrical animation? So fast?"

"Within two months after the release of the third volume of the animated TV version of BD? What day is it?"

"Well, it should depend on the market situation. Only when the fans in the market have bought almost all the TV animation bds will they release the theatrical version of the animation bds! Sales outweigh the gains.”

"Damn it, that old thief Xia Yan is very calculating."

"I can't wait. This animation still has a theatrical version? Who is the main character? Lucy?"

"I don't know, but the theatrical version of the animation is called "Cyberpunk 2077". I don't understand? David died in 2076 in Cyberpunk Edgewalker, so 2077 is the story of one year after David's death. This is a story. A later story. Maybe the main character is the escaped driver Falco. Maybe it's Lucy."

"Fuck, I'm excited, I want to watch Lucy's Revenge."

"It's been two weeks since I watched Edgewalker, and I've been dreaming about the theme song that hurts the soul. Now I just want to see the scene of David's resurrection. I hope the old thief will show kindness and let David play in 2077. Come back to life."

"It seems impossible. It would be too vulgar to bring him back to life. Why do you think the theatrical animation is as good as the story of the rebellion of the magic circle! Let's lower our expectations. I just want to see Adam hammered to death."

"Me too, don't mess around with David's death, or it will destroy the edgewalker's poignancy, but Adam has to die!"

In mid-to-late September, when Xia Yan fans thought that Cyberpunk Frontier Walker would launch a theatrical version of BD within two months, it was Xia Yan's last big move this month, but...
Just the next day.

Beizhou Comic Club issued an announcement.

The Initial D manga will end within three weeks.
This news is another blockbuster, which instantly exploded in the two-dimensional industry of Longguo.

Initial d to end?
What kind of Arabian Nights joke is this?
It's okay to say that the tenth episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker is over.

This kind of theme work itself is not created for a long time.

But the initial D ah.
The protagonist, Tu Hai, has just dominated Qiu Mingshan, convinced all the challengers, and is just about to enter the world outside Qiu Mingshan. He has just walked out of the Novice Village, but at this time you are done?
Are you kidding me?
