A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 341 April
In the spring, Ganglian broadcasted more than a dozen episodes of plots, which can be regarded as the beginning of the main line of this work.

There are spies hidden in the military in the country, artificial humans, and the Philosopher's Stone seems to hide secrets.

Dragon Kingdom animation fans have not yet come out of the steel refining plot, at the end of March
The preview bombing of slam dunk appeared overwhelmingly in Longguo.

Prior to this, the posters, publicity, peripherals, and comic exhibitions of Two-dimensional works everywhere were full of steel-smelting animation elements.

But overnight, the image of the protagonist of the slam dunk, the red-haired boy in the red No. 10 autumn jacket, directly washed away the major comic exhibitions and commercial streets around Two-dimensional.

After all, Xia Yan spent hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs on the slam dunk animation, so he will definitely not be stingy in publicity.

Of course, I will try my best to avoid conflicts with the same time period broadcast of my own works.

The broadcast time of Slam Dunk is [-] o'clock in the evening on the first Saturday in April, one day after Fullmetal Alchemist.

But there's another high-profile hit this season that's also on the way.

The animated version of Initial D that was finally animated after more than two years.

However, the producers behind Initial D will not be so stupid as to confront Xia Yan head-on and let his own work beat him.

Put it on the air on Friday night at [-] o'clock.

The broadcasting station for the initial D is Imperial TV1, the same one that made Xia Yan spend more than 1000 million on the broadcasting issue of Magical Girl Madoka.

Xia Yan had no choice but to pay for Moyuan to have a good broadcasting station.

But later on, he must have felt that he was at a loss. In addition, the staff of the operation department of Shanghai TV1 were soft-spoken, so naturally they have directly cooperated with TV1 of Shanghai since then.

As for the structure of the Longguo TV industry, after Xia Yan and Modu TV1 established a deep cooperative relationship, they have changed from being two heroes in the past to now that Modu TV1 is superior, and Imperial Capital TV1 is under one person. , the rest are all scumbags.

Of course, Imperial Capital tv1 also knows that there are too many Two-dimensional people in the Dragon Kingdom. A good animation work can greatly promote the loyalty of the TV audience to the TV station and cultivate their viewing habits. Therefore, in the past two years, a large number of dragons have been introduced The works of the country's three major animation production companies want to compete with the combination of Xia Yan and Modu Tuizhe.

But the result is obvious, so this year, taking advantage of the opportunity of the animation of Initial D, we introduced Initial D at a price exceeding 1 million yuan for TV2000 in Shanghai.

Of course, Xia Yan doesn't care much about the competition in the TV industry, but the fact is that the two-dimensional industry in Longguo has undergone tremendous changes because of his rise in the past few years.

Modu TV1 is already half a position ahead of its old rival, Imperial Capital TV1, and has become the most profitable among the hundreds of TV stations in Dragon Kingdom.

Liuli Publishing House has also become the No. [-] publishing house in the Longguo novel world, and Beizhou Comics is also No. [-] in the comics world.

Of course, these competitions, rankings, rankings, etc. are all changing in real time. Just like in the parallel world, after the end of Dragon Ball in the island country, Jump’s comic magazine sales dropped from 650 million copies in a single week at its peak to 400 million copies. fell by a third
After the slam dunk, another bunch of sales dropped.

Although the dead flames were serialized one after another, which stabilized the sales volume of Jump's periodicals, it was basically no longer brilliant. The data of 650 million volumes in a single week has become a mountain in the industry.

In Longguo, Xia Yan has now become an existence with similar or even greater influence on the industry in just a few years.

It can be said that if Xia Yan suddenly gets sick now and stops all work for two or three years, the performance of these companies that cooperate with Xia Yan will at least drop by at least one-third, and the company's stock price will plummet even more. In a series of industrial chains that have been established by the works, the income and jobs of thousands of people will be affected to varying degrees.

This is why the entire industry is actively cooperating with Xia Yan as soon as Xia Yan has a new work to be broadcast.

Although Xia Yan's rise in the past few years has indeed taken away a large piece of cake in the industry, but in the past few years of his rise, he has also used his influence to make the two-dimensional industry a bigger cake, and only the former vested will be hurt. The beneficiaries, those collaborators who went the same way as Xia Yan, basically got fat from eating soup and eating meat.

Slam Dunk's high-intensity publicity for several days will completely ignite the animation market in April.

The plot of Steel Refining is in full swing, and the plot of the new Slam Dunk is unclear, but the broadcast of the animated version of Initial D basically won't question Dragon Kingdom Two-dimensional fans.

"Summer is the New Year's Eve."

"Friday night to watch Initial D, Saturday to watch Slam Dunk, Sunday to watch Steel Forge is good, it's a great arrangement."

"Hurry up to Friday, I don't want to stay for a day this March."

"The old thief is still fierce! It's really outrageous."

"Slam Dunk is the animation with the highest production cost for a single episode in the history of Dragon Kingdom. I don't know what level the quality will be at that time."

"Didn't you guys watch the trailer? Anyway, I won't talk about the plot or anything, I'll just paint it, it's a blockbuster."

"I really didn't watch the preview. I worked overtime every day in spring, and I was exhausted. I didn't pay much attention to the new animation work."

"Anyway, the location of the plot is the island country in the old thief's favorite parallel world. Does the old thief have any obsession with the island country?"

"Lelouch is also in an island country, and the initial D is also an island country, and now Slam Dunk is also an island country. Isn't it good for the old thief to directly set the story in the work in Dragon Country?"

"Lelouch is set in the Dragon Kingdom. I'm afraid the work can't be broadcast. No matter how relaxed the official review of the Dragon Kingdom is, it is impossible for the Dragon Kingdom to appear as a colony in the work. As for the initial D, it was said in the previous discussion Well, this kind of mountain road competition is all over the country, and the protagonist team can’t compare to the best in the world. As for the slam dunk, there is a term in the trailer that is very attractive. "National High School Basketball Competition" .”

"? The National High School Basketball Competition? What is that?"

"You can tell by the name. I guess, this thing is the main line of this animation. So I can also figure out why the location of this animation is still placed in the virtual country of the island country. There is no way, the population of the dragon country is more than one billion. , Tens of thousands of high schools, hundreds of cities, if you want to hold a national competition in Longguo, it's funny, these students, so many teams, do nothing for a semester, just play basketball, and they can't compare with the number one in the country Come."

"Indeed, if you think about it this way, the setting of this island country is really easy to use!"

"However, the national competition, this kind of plot, I really look forward to it. It turns out that it is not a professional basketball league. If it is high school basketball, I am still interested in watching it.!"

"Professional basketball is indeed, there is nothing to look at, but there are no achievements anyway."

"And the picture quality of the slam dunk trailer is really broken. If it is the protagonist, it is a bit weird. Looking at the performance in the trailer, it looks a bit like a delinquent boy."

"Bad boy? Once you say that, I'm interested!"

"Hey, the bad boy plays basketball, the old thief really dares to create!"

"Also, the bgm of the trailer is a bit emotional. The song called "The End of the World is Waiting for You", the more I listen to it, the better it gets."

"Another song composed by the old thief himself?"

"That's right."

"It's a pity, the old thief doesn't sing, he only composes. Otherwise, the bgm and music he created for his works over the years would be enough for his opening concert."

"Don't tell me, I really want to see the old thief organize a band one day and hold a concert dedicated to his songs. I think the tickets will be sold out."

"It is estimated that tens of thousands of tickets will be fired. Judging from the current popularity of the old thief, if he does this, he may directly become the most popular musician in Longguo."

"If you think about it carefully, the old thief is really outrageous. Apart from his studies, which are said to be mediocre, he is all top-notch in comics, novels, animations, and music. I heard that the company is already setting up a department for games, TV dramas, and movies. If there are three departments for games, TV dramas, and movies He also revitalizes the big section, and this guy has really become the top leader in the entertainment industry of the Dragon Kingdom, bar none."

"Don't talk about it, anyway, don't be surprised by what the old thief does. I don't treat him as a human being. I don't think I will be too surprised when he announced that he is an alien."

"Haha."

Amidst the heated discussions among Dragon Country fans, finally, March passed by and April came.

Xia Yan also woke up from the salted fish before, and cooperated with the company to promote the broadcast of his slam dunk.

Moreover, although the animated version of Initial D was not produced by Xia Yan Company, it is the original manga after all, so people have to cooperate with Beizhou Manga Club and the animation producer to promote it.

All in all, in the first few days of April, because of Xia Yan's activity, the Longguo animation industry was full of turmoil, and there were overwhelming news about his attendance at various fan meetings and comic exhibition activities for publicity.

Finally, it's the first Friday of April.
The first episode of the anime version of Initial D starts broadcasting.

Unlike the rich and powerful Xiatang Animation, the production budget of Initial D is not considered abundant, and the average production budget is only a little over 200 million.

Compared with last year's Lelouch, the animation quality of this year's Ganglian is definitely incomparable.

But compared to the Parallel World Initial 3D animation, the [-]D modeling is only used for drag racing scenes. For the animation scenes of various plays, the Dragon Country version of the Initial [-]D animation is undoubtedly much better.

Some non-keyframe paintings may have flaws, and occasionally there will be some blurring on supporting characters, distorted characters, or low frame rates.

but at least in the first episode
Wherever there is a racing scene, no one from the audience complains.

Of course, on the night when the first episode aired, "Xia Shu", the name of a female character who had been silent for two years, was once again on the top of the list of popular searches by the two-dimensional fans of Longguo.

86 Going up the mountain, running up the tree, these stalks are on fire again.

Similar to the situation in Parallel Time and Space, the role of Natsuki has indeed made countless fans sad, but she also has an impeccable role in spreading the popularity of Initial D's works.

next day
Imperial Capital TV1 announced the broadcast data of the first episode of Initial D on time.

5.12% ratings for the first episode.

This achievement can only be said to be barely good for Xia Yan, but for the animation company behind the initial D, this is the best animation distribution data in their company history.

During the day, Longguo animation fans had a heated discussion about the animation plot of Initial D, and then at night.
This is the highlight of this quarter.

The first episode of the animation of Slam Dunk aired.

In fact, Xia Yan made certain changes to the animation plot of Slam Dunk.

Of course, there must be no major changes, just minor changes.

Because of the work of Slam Dunk, the early plot of its original comics is actually slightly problematic.

When this work was serialized in the parallel world island country, the author Inoue Takehiko was planning to serialize him as a comic with a little bit of blood and bad fighting.

In the initial stage, most of the plots are basically all kinds of treasures in Sakuragi Flower Road, and then fights, half-hearted about basketball, quitting the school basketball club at every turn or flirting with the head of the judo club.

In fact, this plot is suitable for a funny and bad cartoon.

It's a pity that when it was first serialized, because the popularity of the early stage of slam dunk was a bit sluggish, the author Inoue Takehiko, in order to prevent the manga from being cut in half, quickly created an exchange match with Lingnan. From there, the popularity of slam dunk actually gradually increased.

In Xia Yan's words, the animation power of the Dragon Kingdom version definitely grasps the key points of this work.

The plot of Sakuragi's bad high school students will definitely not be completely omitted, but it will not be in almost every episode in the early stage, there will be a little friction between Sakuragi and other bad students.The focus is still on Sakuragi's basketball journey.

It's just that, even so, after the first episode of Slam Dunk was aired, the response from the Dragon Kingdom animation industry was still controversial.

On the night when the first episode aired, his fans stayed up all night on various forums, arguing with those he liked and those he didn't like.

"No, bad boy as the protagonist? This will teach bad children."

"The protagonist just likes to fight, and it's not the kind of villain who bullies the weak and collects protection money. That's fine."

"The protagonist gang feels like the kind of students in the class who don't study, don't take the initiative to provoke people, and don't get bullied by others. This feeling is pretty good! Why can this be said?"

"I just feel that this kind of redhead who dyed his hair in high school, is tall and strong, and the protagonist who fights if he disagrees is a bit scary. On the other hand, the supporting actor Liu Chuanfeng (Rukawa Feng) is really good!"

"Liu Chuanfeng? Didn't he fight with others immediately after being approached by a bad guy? What's the difference between this and the protagonist?"

"The difference is that he is more handsome! Animation fans follow the five senses."

"."

"I'm blind to this painting. It's such a good picture quality. It's a bit wasteful to use it to confuse and fight. What I want to watch is the orthodox basketball animation. Basketball is not popular in Longguo. I still look forward to this work by the old thief." It can save the popularity of Longguo basketball."

"Don't think too much. After all, it's just an animation. How could it have a big impact on the basketball industry in the real world?"

"It's also... alas."

"And the main character, the reason for joining the basketball club is so stupid, to pick up girls, haha, I laughed so hard."

"Honestly speaking, the animation of the old thief is not a funny animation, is it?"

"It's possible, it's funny basketball, I feel like it's a trick."

"There is a woolen head? I am willing to watch bad fights, and I also want to watch orthodox basketball. Bad boys play basketball? It won't be a one-on-one fight on the court, right? ball? ""

"I just watched the first episode and I can't see any signs of it, but if it's this style later on, I'll follow up and watch it."

"As far as the first episode is concerned, it is not as good as Steel Refining, not as good as Lelouch, and not as good as Initial D, but it is more interesting than the first episode of Magical Girl Madoka. Give it [-]%"

"I thought so too. Anyway, the old thief's works just need to be patient."

Similar to what Xia Yan thought, the first episode of Slam Dunk had bad reviews, but not many. After all, although bad boys fighting are not a bonus item, it is not a bad point in the animation plot.

Of course, the protagonist is funny, that is, the slam dunk and master player that everyone is looking forward to are not seen. The protagonist starts as a member of the reserve department of the basketball team and learns the development of basketball from scratch. It will also make the audience feel that the development of the plot may be too much slow heat.

This slightly affects the scoring of the slam dunk.

But under the influence of Xia Yan's huge popularity, the ratings of the first episode of Slam Dunk are still very high.
The statistic of 5.60% is indeed a bit worse than the ratings of the first episode of Steel Refining, which broke 6%, but compared to the first episode of Initial D broadcast last night, the score is better.

Xia Yan also knows that the first episode of Slam Dunk is not ugly, but it is not very good. With this ratings, Chunchun is doing her fans a favor.

He was personally quite satisfied, but the members of the animation production team of Slam Dunk were panicked. The director of the production team came to Xia Yan's office early in the morning to admit his mistake and apologize for the fact that the ratings of the first episode of Slam Dunk failed to meet expectations.

This left Xia Yan speechless, and quickly comforted him and the production team members, telling them not to be so stressed.

After all, the production cost of Steel Refining is not as high as that of Slam Dunk. The audience rating of Slam Dunk was over 6% when it was broadcast, and Slam Dunk was only 5.6%. It is inevitable that they will be under pressure.

Inside Xia Tang Animation, the competition is equally fierce.

So far, the first episodes of the two most watched animations of Longguo this season have started broadcasting one after another.
