A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 343 Moved
May
Like the temperature, the Longguo animation industry keeps rising.

Starting from the seventh episode, the plot of the slam dunk finally entered the main line, that is, the plot of the high school national competition qualifiers that has been mentioned continuously since the beginning of the animation, but the audience watched it for more than a month without even seeing a shadow.

Of course, before the qualifiers, the Xiangbei team where the protagonist "Yin Huadao (Sakuragi Flower Road)" belongs will play an exchange match with the Lingnan team that appeared out of nowhere.

In the two episodes of Slam Dunk that aired in May, the plot is about the friendly match between Xiangbei and Lingnan high schools.

In fact, Longguo's previous sports animations were basically template routines.

The protagonist is a talented athlete, and then some unremarkable people come up to trouble the protagonist, the protagonist, slaps the face, and repeats this routine.

Audiences in Longguo also like this kind of work, it looks refreshing and effortless, but in essence, this kind of work is just like the prince of tennis in the parallel world. In the qualitative routine, it finally turned into a grotesque appearance.

Therefore, there are many popular sports animations in Longguo, but there are too few sports animations that are called classics. For decades, there are only one or two that fans can praise.

The slam dunk that Xia Yan made in the summer market directly broke all the possible assumptions of Longguo animators about sports animation.

The protagonist is a delinquent boy with red hair, loves to fight, his head doesn't look too good, and he is very unpopular with women. As a high school student, what is the concept of being rejected fifty times?
The reason why I joined the basketball club was only because I wanted the cute sister of the head of the basketball club.
Such a protagonist is definitely fine in this funny animation, but in the basketball animation, the audience can't imagine what his role is.

If it wasn't for the fact that the viewers of Longguo Animation had been slapped too much by Xia Yan in the past few years, I am afraid that Xiao Heizi would not be there, and those news media who wanted to consume Xia Yan would have jumped up.

But even so, many people actually watched the plot of slam dunk develop until now, and the protagonist is still so stupid, in fact, he is already eager to try.

Just wait until the story of the exchange game is over, and when the slam dunk reputation drops, absorb a wave of attention from Xia Yan's black fans.

However, after the story of the exchange match between Xiangbei and Lingnan began, the reputation of slam dunk changed. In the arena, Huadao is indeed as good as before.
But the basketball game plot of this animation
It's really pretty.

Liu Chuanfeng, who only knew how to play cool in the previous six episodes, was also very ruthless in the arena.

The captain of the Xiangbei team, the gorilla Akagi, is in the center position, at least the sense of oppression shown in the animation overflows off the screen.

And as the two pillars of the opponent team, Xiandao and Yuzhu (Yuzhu), they are not like the villains beaten by the protagonist team as fools in other sports animations of Longguo
At least, two weeks after the story of the exchange match, the ratings of Slam Dunk once approached the 6% ratings mark, and in the popularity ranking of the characters in Slam Dunk, the two characters Xiandao and Liu Chuanfeng directly reached the top as Xia Yan expected .

Of course, they ranked third and fifth respectively in this quarter's animation character popularity list.

After all, among the animations broadcast this season, Edward, the main character of steelmaking, and the protagonist of Initial D, who has a huge number of fans, are ranked first or second. The popularity of these two is not comparable to that of the slam dunk characters whose plot has not yet unfolded.

But at least, Slam Dunk can have two characters ranked third and fifth in the popularity rankings, which is also very illustrative.

Slam dunk fans have gradually entered the state.

That's it, another two weeks.

And in the plot of this chapter, everyone felt that the protagonist Huadao, as a rookie basketball player, did not play at the beginning of the game. debut
Bizarre crotch looping dribbles and exciting warm-up exercises before playing are funny enough in themselves, but in this episode
Akagi left the field with an eye injury, and Hanamichi came on as a substitute. Hanamichi was ordered in danger, but after playing, his mind was blank and he dribbled the ball mechanically.
This performance of Huadao quickly won the sympathy and substitution of the audience.

After this episode airs.

"That's right, that's how I felt the first time I played."

"I feel the same way. When I was in high school, I represented my school in the city's high school table tennis competition. There were hundreds of spectators. Every time the opponent scored a goal, there were hundreds of people booing. I just played for 3 minutes and my movements were deformed."

"The old thief's portrayal of Huadao, a basketball rookie, is too real. I thought of myself."

"The old thief's exchange match has been aired for almost four episodes, and it's not over yet. On the contrary, I still think it's getting better and better. Is this normal?"

"A basketball game lasts 10 minutes, but the animation portrays it for almost two hours. It feels weird."

"But it should be soon, after all, an exchange game will definitely not take up too much plot space. They broadcast eleven or twelve episodes of an animation every season, and the summer market for the old thief slam dunk is almost over. Finished, it was really too slow.”

"But Liu Chuanfeng really didn't give Huadao face. Seeing Huadao's stiff movements, he actually kicked him directly."

"This is the catfish effect. Liu Chuanfeng is the catfish in the ordinary school of fish. After Huadao was stimulated, he worked hard. The stiff movements after playing did not disappear, but because Liu Chuanfeng attracted attention, he would not pay attention to the field. The pressure is on."

"Compared to the protagonist who played tricks before, the flower arrangement of playing basketball is actually more interesting."

"Looking at it like this, this animation should be prepared to portray Huadao from the basketball rookie period into a highly skilled basketball god"

"I thought this kind of funny male protagonist sports animation would not be very good-looking, but actually seeing it now, I am more and more attracted by the plot."

"The main reason is that the budget is exploding. The basketball scene, picture, and storyboard of the slam dunk are really cool, even more handsome than watching the actual basketball league."

"If we draw more basketball plots later and less create the stand-up life of bad boys, I think this animation will definitely become a hit."

A few weeks after entering the friendship with Lingnan, the fan group and the discussion on the slam dunk on the forum have changed from the funny routines of Huadao to the basketball game plot, victory and defeat, and the role of Huadao in the game.

The two works of slam dunk and steel refining are actually the kind of slow-moving works.

However, Ganglian's portrayal of human nature and character creation in the first few small chapters are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After these plots help Ganglian shape the world view, although the plot is slow, it can greatly retain the audience.

Therefore, from the beginning of the broadcast to the present, the ratings of Steel Refining have not dropped by 6%.

Even as the plot continues to progress, there will be a small increase every week, which is very stable.

Strictly speaking, the opening plot of "Slam Dunk" is a bit messy, but anyway, these plots have already started broadcasting, and now after entering the main line, fans immediately discovered the shining point of this animation. It only took a few weeks, and the word-of-mouth of Slam Dunk has grown. A small reversal.

Of course, those who were waiting to see Xia Yan's jokes were disappointed at this moment, but they could only continue to lurk. They were also afraid of the fighting power of Xia Yan's true fans.

As the chairman of Xia Tang Animation Company, Xia Yan pays close attention to the development of the popularity of Slam Dunk every day. After the animation entered the scene of the friendly match, his social accounts also became active, and he often answers fans' questions in the comment area.

And also consciously began to appear on TV shows in late May to help Slam Dunk to promote it.

He really wants to be a complete hands-off shopkeeper, and to be the chairman of the board, but it's really impossible for the company to leave him now.

In this case, the end of May.
Come June.

Everyone in the Longguo animation industry predicted that the plot of the exchange game will end soon is completely wrong.

This exchange match was broadcast from the end of April to the beginning of June
It's not over yet.

After Akagi left the field due to injury, he played again with a simple bandage, and the coach Daddy let him play. Finally, after playing in the second half, it was completely a side effect on the field because of too much nervousness. He recovered after being stimulated by Liu Chuanfeng, and then , is to show his proud jumping ability and powerful speed and athletic ability on the court.
Great for the audience to see.

at last
I waited until the day when Episode No.11, which started broadcasting in early June, started broadcasting
Xiatang Animation has made a big publicity on the official website, clearly telling fans that the plot that will be broadcast tonight will end this battle.

And Magic City TV1 also used this as a highlight in the TV commercials to promote it.

As for the fans of slam dunk, it goes without saying that basically everyone is waiting for the night with anticipation.

"Actually, now that I've seen it, I really can't tell what is good about the animation of Slam Dunk, but I just keep chasing after it, and I can't stop."

"Me too. Anyway, I felt that the time passed very quickly during the process of watching. The 1-minute basketball time animation can talk for 10 minutes. But the more you watch, the higher you go, and you can't stop at all."

"I don't watch real-life basketball games so seriously. This game between Xiangbei and Lingnan made me very nervous."

"It's very different from the previous sports-themed male protagonist Long Aotian, but I think Huadao makes me like it even more."

"Anyway, looking at it now, I think the animation of Slam Dunk may not be as good as Hunter and Initial D, but it must be a high-quality animation. It is that the plot rhythm in the early stage is better, and the popularity may be much higher than now. The protagonist in the early stage For those animation fans who only want to watch sports and competitive dramas, many people insist on it for a week or two before being persuaded."

Before the broadcast of Slam Dunk, the forum was full of enthusiasm.

Before the anime started broadcasting, there was a quiet vacuum in the fan base and forums.

On the first Saturday in June, Slam Dunk is on Episode No.11 of Dragon Country.
There are still 2 minutes left in the game.

The offensive and defensive battles between Xiangbei and Lingnan entered a fever pitch.

And 20 seconds before the end of the game, Xiangbei was still one point behind, but Liu Chuanfeng had the ball, and he took the ball by himself and passed the four opponents. At this moment, what stood in his way was Xiandao, who had been suppressing him in this game.
At the critical moment, Liu Chuanfeng subconsciously passed the ball to the nearest player on the field
It was only after he passed the ball that he realized that this person was the Huadao he hated the most.

And ikebana.
After getting the ball, he ran to the basket desperately, and then
Leaping high, holding the ball in the palm of his hand, he dunked it towards the basket in various ways.

this scene
How Xia Yan likes to watch animation while the fans in the fan group hold their breath.

What is classic sports animation?
That is, every game the protagonist experiences, the audience is fully immersed in watching it immersively.

It's as if I am not watching animation, but as friends, parents, relatives, or even themselves of the characters in the animation. Galloping on the field.

In the episode of Slam Dunk, the last 2 minutes of the offensive and defensive battle plot made the audience of Longguo feel this feeling.

Nervous, rapid heartbeat. Then
Following Huadao's high jumping and falling figure, the ball he threw into the basket.

The game came to the last ten seconds, and the score of this game came to 85:86.

The protagonist Huadao, with his hands on his hips triumphantly, showed his proud smile as the hero of the game to everyone present.

The audience also enjoyed it, and felt that Huadao's proud face became more pleasing to the eye at this time.

just
Until the last moment of the game, the outcome is always in suspense.

The ace Xiandao of the Lingnan team, in the last few seconds, when the Xiangbei team relaxed because of the ikebana lore, and even "opened champagne" at halftime. The three members of the Xiangbei team reacted and chased and intercepted, but they killed the Xiangbei team and fixed the score at 87:86.

In the animation, the cheers of the students at Lingnan's home team for their home team are deafening, reflecting the unwilling and painful expressions on the faces of the Xiangbei team members, but they have to accept it.

Opening champagne at halftime, something that only happens to villains, actually appeared in the protagonist team of Slam Dunk.

But although the audience felt aggrieved, they didn't know who to blame.

Akagi and Liu Chuanfeng tried their best. The other two members of the Xiangbei team are obviously soy saucers. They are ordinary members who make up the number and will not hold back, but don't expect them to stand up.

Huadao is a novice who has learned basketball for less than a month. He contributed several rebounds in the second half and made a shot in the last 20 seconds. With his character, he is so complacent after scoring a goal that it is his personality.
Uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
However, the audience who watched the last episode of this episode can also clearly feel that in addition to the uncomfortable emotions in their hearts, there is also the feeling of suffocating to watch the ball a few minutes ago, and now the thumping is accelerating after relaxing heart sound.

The plot is uncomfortable to watch because it is completely substituted into the perspective of the members of the Xiangbei team.

Now my heart is pounding, which also proves this point.

A fictional world, a fictional country, and a fictional high school basketball game fascinate them.

Many old animation fans have already noticed that something is wrong with this animation.

And at the end of this episode.
Huadao roared unwillingly on the field.

[Pass the ball!pass the ball!I feel like there are still ten seconds left in the game, pass the ball to me! 】

And the captain Akagi walked in front of Huadao and said the sentence softly.

[Huadao, we lost! 】

Unwillingly, he wanted to get back the basketball on the basketball court, but he fell directly on the ground. When he looked back, he found that the cloth shoes he was wearing for the game had been trampled off by him, and they were directly pierced. In the end, he was so uncomfortable that he hit his head on the basketball. field floor.

It's okay to be unwilling, but there is no way, this is reality.

Even if he just felt that he had won in the last ten seconds and didn't pay attention to guarding against his opponent, but others seized the ten-second gap and completed the anti-lore. This is also a manifestation of strength.
Tearful eyes
Watching the rise of the ending song of the cartoon.

Many viewers who have followed Slam Dunk for ten weeks and eleven episodes of animation, their eyes are red.

I used to watch sports games, and I didn't understand why those people cried when they lost, what was there to cry about, it was just a game.

but now.
10 minutes after the end of the [-]th episode of Slam Dunk.

"Brothers, I burst into tears."

"Me too. After reading it, my back is full of cold sweat. Then I feel unwilling and want to cry. It's a pity."

"It's like winning No.2 with only one point in the class exam. This is the most uncomfortable thing. I'm really angry to be killed by someone else!"

"Why are you angry? It's not you who went to play the game."

"But it's just anger! But I can't find anyone to blame. Whether it's Huadao or Liu Chuanfeng, they all tried their best. Akagi's eye was injured, and Liu Chuanfeng's leg cramped when he ran. Huadao, a rookie in basketball, contributed several rebounds and a shot, and he also worked hard.. It was the last celebration. Sigh.”

"That's the beauty of basketball."

"In the last scene where Huadao was unwilling to smash his head on the floor, I really couldn't hold back. My school's football team, after we were defeated by the opponent in the last few minutes of the game, I also felt the same way. I wanted to slap myself and empathize with it. .”

"I'm so angry that I don't exercise. I can only say that the story of the old thief's creation of sports competitions is really good. It is not at the same level of tension as the main character Long Aotian in the sports animations I watched before."

"I always thought that basketball is not fun in Longguo, but after watching the game in this animation, I found it very interesting, this sport."

"No, there is still a difference between animation and reality. In the animation, these characters are very handsome in layups. In reality, if you play by yourself, it is a three-way game, haha."

"I'll go, if the animation behind the old thief is full of such exciting game plots, then I will blow up this animation!"

"I've already started bragging. The old thief should have directly entered the plot of the basketball game. The plot of the first six episodes of Huadao wandering around is not to say that it is not good, but it deviates too much from the main line. Especially with the head of the judo department, the two Personally, I can argue for a whole episode about whether Huadao should quit the basketball club or not, it's too watery."

"But it's the plots of the previous episodes that shaped Huadao into its current image! Maybe the plots of these few episodes have little to do with the main story line, but they are still crucial to the shaping of Huadao's role."

"That's true. If you think about it carefully, the old thief may want to establish the setting of Huadao first through the plots of the previous episodes, and then enter the main storyline to play basketball. Although it is a bit procrastinated, it's not a big problem. I I am impatient with other people, but I still have patience with old thieves."

At the beginning of June, the chapter of the Slam Dunk Exchange Competition ended, which greatly increased the reputation and popularity of this work.

At least, the animation viewers in the entire Long Kingdom know that the animation of Slam Dunk, no matter how much the old thief likes to create the standpoint plot of Huadao fighting delinquent teenagers, but its basketball game plot is better than others.

From here, the development curve of the animation Slam Dunk in the Longguo animation market has slightly turned upwards.

　There was no update last night, and I’m sorry to say why, because I really had nothing to do last night, and the author also has time code words, but last night it was just a simple card text that was really serious, I couldn’t code it, and I don’t know today When the state will improve, you can only pretend to be dead.

　　So say sorry. .
