A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 327 Discussion
It's just the title of the work and some concept drawings, in fact, that's it. Normally, these Two-dimensional fans will not be touched too much.

But Xia Yan's works are different.

After Magic Circle, Cyberpunk, Lelouch, and even the early days of going to the moon, unheard of Huaming and other animations broadcasting, Xia Yan's status in the hearts of Dragon Kingdom Two-dimensional fans is infinitely close to the gods in this field.
Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor, but just like Hayao Miyazaki has a new work in the parallel world, no matter what kind of work he creates, fans of animated movies will look forward to it.

From the work titles and concept drawings of several new works announced by Xia Yan, the information of these works can basically be determined.

On the same day, the two-dimensional fans of Longguo began to discuss.

"The Story of Hua Monogatari is a young boy who walks around several beautiful girls. This kind of poster has not gone away. It is a campus love work, but there are some monsters and weird phenomena in the poster. So. Is it a fantasy school romance work?"

"Shouldn't run away. Among the old thief's works, the only pure youth love works are the early heroine works Youth Journey. Including unheard flower names, they are all fantasy."

"When I mentioned the journey of youth, I thought it was funny. A man like the old thief actually wrote the heroine's romance novel in the early days, and he wrote it so delicately. It's really outrageous."

"Hua Monogatari, a strange name, but the work of the old thief, anyway, has already been scheduled for the level of a fantasy love god."

"And this Tianyuan Breakthrough, the name is so long, just looking at the concept map, it seems to be the first type of work with Lelouch! It is also a type of mecha combat."

"The concept map of the work called Fullmetal Alchemist is also very interesting, alchemy? Is the old thief treating it as a combat element and making it into an animation? It may not be interesting. There are too many works of this kind of magic, alchemy, and fantasy elements. No matter how you create it, it is difficult to create anything new."

"That is, swords and magic, works by heroes of different worlds and demon kings. There are so many works in the Longguo market that you can't read them all. The old thief may indeed be very powerful, but this kind of subject matter is naturally nothing new. Even if it is an old thief, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in creating this kind of work."

"Don't say it so deadly. Magical Girl Madoka Magica was not a group of people who said that, but everyone knows the final result. As long as the creative strength is there, the excitement of the work will not be limited by the subject matter."

"The most boring work is Slam Dunk. To be honest, Dragon Country is not good at playing basketball. The countries on the other side of the sea are basketball powerhouses. Besides, it's hard to think that there will be any supernatural development in the animation of this theme. From my point of view, after the four works of Old Thieves are actually produced, the ranking of achievements and excitement will be Tianyuan Breakthrough first, Huawuyu second, Steel Refining third, and Slam Dunk fourth."

"I think the positions of Hua Monogatari and Ganglian can be reversed. There is no doubt that slam dunk is the most boring. Basketball animation is simply synonymous with hitting the street. If this work is not created by the old thief, I am not interested in discussing it at all."

"Needless to say, these four works are definitely looking forward to the breakthrough of Tianyuan. I used to be an old thief, and I only became a fan during Lelouch's time. In my previous words, steel refining animations with the theme of fantasy battle magic in other worlds are nothing but fried rice. It is impossible for the works to hit the market. After all, the audience base is large, but it is impossible to achieve good results. There are at least [-] animations of this kind in a season. The diversion of fans is too serious. It is difficult for any works of this type to break out. As for Slam Dunk. , and the theme of mentally retarded basketball, I would like to call them the three elements of hitting the street. But considering that it is a work created by the old thief, I didn’t say that the author’s head was soaked in a cesspit to set it like this. The old thief’s popularity is here. It’s unlikely that this work will hit the street.

"As expected of the old thief's former black fan, just a few words can tell that you are suppressing the release of your quality. But I think the same as you, slam dunk must be the worst score, Tianyuan Breakthrough can get bonuses from works with similar themes to Lelouch, and the score must be the best."

"You guys, they just released the titles of the four works, as well as the concept pictures of the works, and you have already made a final conclusion on their performance after they aired? You still think that slam dunk and steel refining will be the worst. Is it possible that you will be slapped in the face by then?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. You want us animation veterans to analyze the ratings of Slam Dunk and Steel Refining after they are aired. If you haven't seen the works now, you will definitely not be able to analyze them. But I can only say that Tianyuan Breakthrough, a mech combat animation with similar themes to Lelouch, cannot be compared with basketball animations and other world toilet paper animations. They are all works created by the same author. If the plot quality is at the same level, Tianyuan Breakthrough is definitely the top in terms of subject matter."

As Xia Yan expected, after the news about several works was released, even in a short period of time, the enthusiasm for Lelouch's ratings surpassing the highest record of the magic circle was directly dissipated.

This is also Xia Yan's current position in the industry of Longguo.

As long as he doesn't hit the street in the future, each of his new works will receive the highest level of expectations from tens of millions of fans before it is released, and become a hot topic of discussion among Two-dimensional fans, which is equivalent to free tap water to help promote it.

This kind of situation directly made other companies in the animation industry envious and jealous after seeing it.

These companies spend tens of millions to make an animation, and they have to spend money on publicity and advertising before it is broadcast. In this way, only some Two-dimensional audiences will have a slight impression of the work because of these publicity.
Well, that's it. In the end, the proportion of TV audiences that can actually be converted is actually not high.

But what happened to Xia Yan?
Four titles?
The four concept drawings directly caused tens of millions of Two-dimensional fans to discuss for a whole day.

And these fans didn't just remember a general impression of these works, but they were direct and intense, and they quarreled all day based on the names and concept drawings of the four works.

Just like children, purely and sincerely discuss a truth about the boring question of whose toy is more handsome.

There is no reason, these people are naturally full of great interest in Xia Yan's works.

This is much more effective than these companies spending money on advertising.

It's hard.
Such a comparison made everyone feel very unhappy.

Of course, this kind of thing is a double-edged sword. As long as Xia Yan creates two or three blockbuster works, the backlash from fans will be huge.

It's like a famous star's popularity will collapse if there is any emotional scandal, but no one cares about the truth that third-tier stars take care of three mistresses.

As long as Xia Yan creates one or two works that hit the street, a lot of companies in the industry who are jealous of Xia Yan will add fuel to the flames, hyping the concept of Xia Yan's exhausted talents in the industry and using rubbish works to make money.

But
You fucking pounced once.

I know you're good, but one hit on the street is not too much, right?
Not only did he fail to pounce, but he also set a new high record.

Magic Circle reached its pinnacle when it debuted, and it's okay to occupy the historical ratings record in the animation industry.

You, Xia Yan, can't find any other opponents in Longguo, and you actually take yourself beyond the past as your goal to fight for
Is there anyone like you?
At the moment when Xia Yan's fans are enthusiastically discussing his four new works on the forum, some colleagues in Xia Yan's animation industry are also complaining about their jealousy in bars, companies, and small groups.

So far, the main line of work of Xiatang Animation for a long time to come has been determined.

After Xiatang Animation announced the concept map and title of the work, a few days later.
Xia Tang Animation also announced the investment of several works.

It's totally different from what you imagined.
Twelve episodes of the first season of Hua Monogatari, with a total investment of 600 million.

There is nothing wrong with this investment. After all, the theme of campus love, there is no money for warrior scenes, and this investment can completely produce high-quality animation.

Tianyuan breaks through Honglian Luoyan, a total of 27 episodes, with a production cost of 800 million
As everyone expected, the production budget of Tianyuan Breakthrough really exceeded the investment level of 400 million yuan for a single episode.

Although it is not as good as Lelouch's investment and production level of 520 million for a single episode, but...
It's normal for the old thief to be cautious. If you can save a little of the investment of hundreds of millions, you can save it. Besides, 400 million yuan for a single episode, what scene can't be produced?

Next up is Fullmetal Alchemist.

It is not stated how many episodes there are in total.

But the production budget for the first season is expected to be 26 episodes
Total investment, [-] million?
ha?what's going on?
After seeing the level of investment in steel refining, industry practitioners and fans were collectively stunned.

26 episodes, [-] million.

The production cost of a single episode is 615 million Dragon National Coins.

What is this concept?
If this investment is really decided to be implemented, then Steel Refining will be the animation with the third highest production budget for a single episode in the history of Dragon Kingdom.

Are you kidding me?
Knowing that Xiatang animation makes money, it depends on one Lelouch, at least the income of more than ten figures per year, and this income will last at least for the two years of Lelouch's broadcast last year and this year, and then the marginal effect will diminish in the next five years.

But for Lelouch's exaggerated animation, the old thief only invested an average of 520 million yuan in it.

steelmaking
Directly on the basis of Lelouch's investment, another 100 million was added.

As for the fourth anime..
Slam dunk.

Season one.
People directly show their cards.

Years, 54 episodes.

The total investment is [-] million.

Basically, it is the production level of the same level as Lelouch is investing.

When Xiatang Animation announced the data budget.
The entire industry is in an uproar at this moment.

The investment standard of Tianyuan Breakthrough and Huamonuyu is still a high-level investment within the normal range.

but steel and dunk
This investment standard is not normal.

This is basically an investment aimed at the standard of animation film production.

Animation is something that you get what you pay for. If so much money is spent, it will be directly reflected in the production screen.

And
The four works are not discussing the total investment, but the investment level of a single episode.

This is obvious to see.
"For the old thief, in his heart, the order of strength of the four works is Steel Refining, Slam Dunk, Tianyuan Breakthrough, and Hua Monogatari?"

"Leaving aside Tianyuan Breakthrough and Hua Monogatari, the old thief is absolutely confident in the investment level of Steel Refining and Slam Dunk. These two works must have similar achievements in cyberpunk and Lelouch to make this kind of investment. With an investment standard of [-] million yuan, in the entire Dragon Kingdom, except for the old thief, no one's work has such profitability. If you dare to invest, you will learn."

"I don't understand."

"So, don't guess what the old thief thinks. Everyone is guessing that the old thief is most interested in Tianyuan Breakthrough, but in fact, the old thief is most interested in Steel Refining."

"The work that the old thief is optimistic about does not necessarily mean that the grades are strong!"

"Come on, he, the creator, must know his own works very well, so he will naturally invest in the works he thinks are the best. You don't believe in the old thief's level, but trust your own guess?"

"I don't understand."

"Is the old thief so rich? These animations are all invested in the first season, which adds up to [-] to [-] million. If you say you invest, you invest?"

"Who do you think the old thief is? His company has been earning billions in pure profits for the past few years. Xiatang Animation does not raise funds, does not take out loans, and does not go public, but its profitability is stronger than 90.00% of the listed companies in Longguo. If the old thief is willing to list the company, what kind of financing will he do? With his current popularity and influence in the animation industry, I don't know how high the stock price will be fired."

"After all, it is a company with a yearly investment return rate of more than 1000%. The stock market of this kind of company is indeed a bit outrageous, but the old thief should have a strong desire for monopoly. Doing this is tantamount to shunting the copyright of the work and listing it together. He will definitely not do it."

"It's scary, the old thief didn't say anything, but he said everything. I have a hunch for these few works. With his investment amount and his confidence in these works, in the next two years, I am afraid that the old thief will dominate the animation field again."

"Needless to say? In what year was the animation produced by Xia Tang Animation not the dominant one?"

"The old thief company's original two animations have rushed to grandma's house. The first episode was rated below 8, and now they are all rated below 7. The ratings are not as good as the first season."

"Those two animations have nothing to do with the old thief, what are they doing?"

As a top player in the animation industry, Xia Tang Animation only announced the investment standards for several works, and made the related debates about the four animations hot on the list tonight.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan also shook his head.

But there is one thing, the fans are right, the investment amount of the four works does represent the ranking of the four works in his mind.

But there is a subtlety that slam dunk and steel refining are actually in the same position. The reason why the average investment standard for slam dunk episodes is slightly lower is that basketball animations are purely produced and not as expensive as combat animations.

Investing in this thing, to a certain extent, the effect of additional additions is not so strong. Xia Yan is not meaninglessly pursuing the perfect picture quality, as long as it is close to perfect, after all, the money is not stolen.

Slam Dunk and Steel Refining are two masterpieces, anyway, they are all TV animations produced according to the standards of animated movies and theatrical versions.

After all, Xia Yan watched those scumbag-quality TV animations in Yuan Qing's memory, and he really felt a little bit hot. Now that they are presented in Longguo, he must make up for his regret in this regard.

After all, it's just a conceptual work that hasn't been broadcast yet, and the popularity comes and goes quickly.

With the passage of time, after the 20th and 21st episodes of Lelouch No. [-] were broadcast, topics related to Lelouch once again occupied the mainstream of the market.

In the No.20 and 21 episodes, Lelouch, his father, Lelouch's mother Marianna, who should have died but has been lurking, and other mysteries are revealed.

In the cloud world, Lelouch, cc, Suzaku, Mariana, and Lelouch's father Xia Lulu's coad, the geass ability users' struggle for power, ended in a dramatic ending.

In fact, there is a problem with this plot. With Xia Lulu's strength and status, Lelouch, who lost the Black Knights, was unexpectedly placed in the cloud world, and finally turned from desperate situation to kill both him and Mariana?
It can only be said that arrogance is the original sin.

Their greater crime is that they are not the protagonists, and they do not have the aura of the protagonists.

Lelouch's father, the emperor Xia Lulu, pretended to go out at the beginning of the game, thinking that the world was invincible, so he was careless.

The plot is a little rough and abrupt, but fanatical Lelouch fans also forgive the impreciseness of these details.

After all, everyone has seen the present, and everyone has also noticed some incongruities in the plots in Lelouch's world, but who cares?
Everyone watching this animation now is watching Lelouch and cc, just defeating his father and mother's conspiracy. It's better to end it quickly. They all want to watch the story of Lelouch defeating his father, ascending the throne and becoming emperor, and teaching the rebels of the Black Knights a lesson.

So for these two episodes, the ratings were 6.54% and 6.57% respectively. Not only did they not decline, but they were also rising steadily.

And after Lelouch defeated his father, Xia Lulu, and defeated his father and mother's conspiracy to integrate everyone in the world into one and let everyone live in the illusory world created by their power, to put it bluntly, it was after the castrated version of human beings completed the plan.

The story finally entered the final main line.
The chapter of the decisive battle between Lelouch, who became the emperor of the Bunitanian Empire, and his former partner, the Black Knights, and the alliance of forces of the enemy, Schneizel.
