Chapter 323: Strong winds and waves!
The restaurant of the spa hotel.

Almost one second after "Fate/Heaven's Cup" started, the entire screen was completely covered with all kinds of colorful comments. Because the big monitor was connected to the old computer of the hot spring hotel, the screen was even stuck because of the huge amount of comments!

It was a very exaggerated scene, and the female singers and artists who were having dinner in the restaurant were all amazed.

As modern people, they have naturally seen many videos with huge numbers of comments, but "Fate/Heaven's Grave" has only been on the air for a few seconds!

"Sri Lanka~~~A2D fans are really fanatical."

"Mr. Fuyukawa's appeal in the field of games and animation is truly terrifying."

"It's because he's so talented. From his debut till now, except for the first movie "I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women", his other works have had an extremely exaggerated influence in their circles."

"The traffic is huge. Now it depends on whether the quality of this animation can handle the traffic."

“The style and quality of this animation is really good.”

There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant, but the amazement did not last long.

Anyone who has ever been online knows how strong Dongchuan Che's appeal to the market is.

Although the traffic of the first episode of "Fate/Heaven's Cup" surprised them, it was not a big surprise. Moreover, serialized animation is similar to variety shows. Relying on influence and gimmicks to attract people is only the first step to success. If the content quality is not up to standard, the high opening and low closing may even cause backlash from public opinion due to the excessive attention in the early stage and the huge gap!
Masako Takeuchi also understood this. While eating a fruit salad, she looked at her phone and said, "This show has 24 episodes in total. I saw on Wikipedia that this kind of half-year show has one episode per week, and it's broadcast for half a year. But... wow, Mr. Fuyukawa is really amazing. He broadcasts six episodes a week and finishes it within a month. What a confident man."

Masako Takeuchi's face was full of envy.

The model of Japanese anime is actually similar to that of Chinese online literature, both of which are [freshly baked and sold].

There are two reasons for this pattern.

The first is to reduce risk.

The production cost of a 24-minute episode of Japanese anime is approximately between 1500 million yen and 3000 million yen. In other words, the production cost of a normal 12-episode season series is close to million yen, or about million yuan.

The production cost is actually very high.

Most anime production committees produce the anime while observing the market reaction, and then decide whether to change the plot direction or continue.

Secondly, although broadcasting only one episode per week may seem constipated to the audience, it also gives the audience more time to discuss, thereby fully exerting the influence of the work and attracting more audiences.

It is very rare for someone like Fuyukawa Tetsu to make a work first and then release it all at once. This not only shows that Fuyukawa Tetsu has strong financial resources, but also shows that he is extremely confident.

Many Japanese women have a strong admiration for strong men, not to mention the entertainment industry, which is a big melting pot where the strong prey on the weak.

Thinking of this, Takeuchi Masako, a pretty young widow who is pursued by many men in life, almost had tears in her eyes.

The same thing happened to Akina Uemori next to her. She chewed a chicken breast with emotion and longing in her eyes. "This kind of tough guy with a bold and open style of doing things is indeed not uncommon in Japan. However, judging from the fact that the first episode was broadcast directly for six episodes, whether this animation series can be successful will be roughly determined tonight."

Just looking at the number of comments in the first episode does not tell the quality of the plot, nor whether it will be popular. But as a 24-level drama, after watching the first six episodes and looking at the user retention data ratio of each episode, you can probably judge the quality of this drama. And the success or failure of this drama will affect "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves".

Normally, animation does not have much driving effect on variety shows because the user overlap between the two fields is not high, but that is just normal.

The Holy Light Society has grown very rapidly this year, making huge profits and having a very good reputation, but the Holy Light Society was only established for a year after all.

The talents within the company are all growing strong, but because it was established so recently, many talents have not yet left Dongchuan Che's wings to lead their teams to set up their own signature studios. Therefore, although Dongchuan Che does not want to stand in the spotlight, at present, Shengguangshe is just a bare towering tree without leaves or branches, and the word-of-mouth effect is still all concentrated on him.

On the one hand, this brought more public pressure to Fuyukawa Che. For example, when Himawari Izumi confessed her love to him in front of all the Japanese people during the Red and White Song Contest, he had to work very hard to suppress the public opinion. On the other hand, this model also created a fan effect similar to that of Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The most typical example is FS's "Armored Core 6: World of Fire".

In fact, few people paid attention to this series before. The first 15 works in the series sold a total of only 200 million copies. However, when FS announced that Hidetaka Miyazaki would take over the series, the sales of "Armored Core 6" directly exceeded 15 million. The sales of one work exceeded the total of the previous works. This is the fan effect brought by Hidetaka Miyazaki.

To put it simply, many people are interested in the people who make the works because they like the works. Now many people are interested in his works because they trust his ability. This also means that the success or failure of [Dongchuan Che's first attempt at cross-border variety shows] will also affect the attention of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves".

Most women in the restaurant understand this.

Many people were contacting their agents or friends in the animation industry to inquire about the statistics of "Fate/Heaven's Grave" while watching the pictures on TV.

Interestingly, the original Fate/Heaven's Cup is a theatrical version, so after the opening, it quickly enters the more depressing and dark main storyline, while Toru Fuyukawa's Fate/Heaven's Cup is a serialized animation, and
As the saying goes, "Tragedy is when beautiful things are torn into pieces and shown to people."

Adhering to this principle, Toru Fuyukawa borrowed the story structure of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". The beginning of "Fate/Heaven's Cup" is based on a sweet campus and warm daily life, focusing on shaping the gentle and kind character of Sakura Matou.

Outstanding effect.

The market trends in the entertainment sector are often a reflection of social trends and also serve as a promotional tool.

Japanese anime has always been ridiculed as "they shout about friendship, bonds, and dreams, and these words that you can't understand just come out", but why does Japanese anime emphasize bonds and friendship?
Because the Japanese at that stage experienced social reconstruction, the basic elements of society differentiated from family and clan to individuals.

People were atomized, and the emotional connection between people became extremely weak. Not to mention relatives, many children and parents were no longer so close. Coupled with the economic crisis in Japan at the time, with the dual shortage of material and spiritual, many people could not find the reason to work hard to live.

In the end, they either lay low, become depressed or even commit suicide, or explode and find someone to die with. Tata's animation is to instill in people the idea of ​​never giving up, to emphasize that there are real emotions between people, and to emphasize that people should pursue their own dreams.

It is never a bad thing to encourage people to rise up. Slam Dunk and Captain Tsubasa have made outstanding contributions to the rise of Japanese football and basketball. But social trends will not remain unchanged forever, and chicken soup for the soul is a bit like Viagra.

When you take it for the first time, it’s quite effective, but if you take it too much, you will develop drug resistance, and eventually it will no longer work.

People are under great pressure in life these days, and most of them find it difficult to have overly strong emotional resonance with the kind of animation that Tatakai produces. Compared to the spiritual power to rise up, what they want more is mental health care, so more and more lighthearted daily animations are beginning to emerge.

The same is true for the singers and artists in the restaurant who are either about to fade away or have just entered the society. Seeing the sweet and warm daily plot of "Fate/Heaven's Cup", they are all interested.

"Hey, do you know this? I heard that the painter of this Matou Sakura is also Mr. Fuyukawa's woman."

"Eh? Is that true? I heard that the artist made his debut by drawing 18X books."

"You are so out of touch with the news. The young woman who came to visit the studio with Izumi Himawari a few days ago was the painter. I think her name is Kawachi Sayoko."

"Oh, Kawachi-san, I know her. She's a very gentle woman. She even helped bring water to me during my rehearsal yesterday. Oh my god, is she Mr. Dongchuan's woman? I thought she was just an employee of the Holy Light Society."

"So stupid. It's mainly because she has a low-key personality. I heard from a friend that Mr. Dongchuan wanted her to be the creative director of the Holy Light Society, but she turned it down in the end."

"Masaka! The creative director of the Holy Light Society? The director and the minister are the highest management of the Holy Light Society, right?! She turned it down?"

"Yes, it is said that she only wants to be an obedient and gentle housewife and does not want to participate in too many company management affairs. But I heard that she has the largest share in the Holy Light Society among the women. Tsk, giving away shares in such a big company without any hesitation, I don't know whether to say that Mr. Dongchuan is a playboy or a loving person."

"Nonsense, if he was just a playboy, there wouldn't be so many women wanting to get into his bed. You don't know, the girl next to me in the room, after coming here, wears sexy lingerie under her JK uniform every day, and she also has a lot of them on the balcony, probably just waiting for the opportunity to make a move!"

"Is it so exaggerated?!"

"Of course, if you hook up with him, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life. Besides, he's handsome. But as for me, they're all wasting their efforts. There are so many trainees in the Holy Light Society, and I've never heard of any of them being taken advantage of. How do you say it in Chinese? There are three thousand rivers, and I only take one scoop."

"Several scoops, I think."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, that's what I mean anyway. And come to think of it, the plot of this cartoon is quite in the style of Mr. Dongchuan, with all the harem going on."

"Haha, it's quite similar, and it's pretty good. No wonder young people like it so much nowadays. The plot is warm and sweet, and it really relieves stress when watching it."

This time, Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves not only invited middle-aged female artists and singers who are about to become outdated, as well as newcomers who have just debuted. In order to maintain the popularity and program effect, just like the original work invited Na Ying and Ning Jing, several old-fashioned big names from Japan who can hold the stage were invited.

Women, especially the older ones, love gossiping.

A group of middle-aged women sat in a corner, eating fruit and sunflower seeds, watching anime and chatting. They were so busy that they almost pulled the pants off Dongchuan Che, but the topic returned to "Fate/Heaven's Cup".

What’s interesting is that they are indeed not the age to actively watch anime, and the barrage was turned off at that time, so they actually thought that "Fate/Heaven’s Cup" was an everyday healing show, and they all watched it very enthusiastically. However, as time went by, as the plot developed, and as the BGM and picture tones gradually became colder, these middle-aged ladies also realized that something was wrong.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's something wrong with this BGM."

"My daughter sent me a message saying, 'This anime is a trap, run away'? What does that mean?"

"I have a bad feeling."

Although none of them had paid much attention to the Fate series, after all, those present were either studying music or acting, and they were very sensitive to the direction of the plot. Just the lighting and shadow processing of some pictures and the changes in music BGM made them realize that something was wrong. Except for the area where the young artists and singers were, the rest of the restaurant was filled with chattering.

But Dongchuan Che did not give them time to react completely!

As the scene jumped, as Shirou Emiya defeated Shinji Matou, and as the silhouette of Sakura Matou, whose eyes had lost their luster that night, was taken into the room and twisted by the angry Shinji Matou, appeared on the big screen, the whole restaurant completely exploded!

"Are you crazy?! The heroine was raped?!!"

"No, it's not QJ. According to the direction of this story, the heroine should have been killed a long time ago."

"Baga! What kind of anime is this!"

"No, no, I can't accept this kind of animation. I'm going back to my room first."

"Pervert! A super, super pervert! How can someone make an animation like this!"

The whole restaurant was in a frenzy. Looking at the completely cold images and background music on the TV screen, the old ladies felt their scalps tingling!

The plot of "Fate/Heaven's Grave" is already cruel and dark, not to mention that Toru Fuyukawa also made it like "Magic Circle". The first two episodes are very warm and sweet, but the plot soon took a sharp turn for the worse, and the knife came down in an instant!

The emotional impact of this sudden change in the plot is really exaggerated! Combined with the strong visual performance of the Holy Light Society and the R15 rating given to this work by Fuyukawa Tetsu, there are more sex, violence, horror and other elements in the picture, and its impact is no less than the third episode of "Magical Girls" or even the bloody wedding in the ninth episode of the third episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire"!
Break the defense!

Dongchuan Che's knife directly broke the defense of all the sisters present! Or rather, Dongchuan Che directly broke the defense of all the audience! Regardless of gender, age or young, the audience who watched the third episode gasped and felt numb! Even many viewers who knew the general direction of the plot felt the same way!

"Fate/Heaven's Cup" is the storyline of Matou Sakura. Many viewers who follow this series actually knew the plot before, and also knew that Fuyukawa Tetsu was a bastard. But Fuyukawa Tetsu's first two episodes were too warm and sweet.

Many people thought that Dongchuan Che had become a Buddha after putting down his butcher knife, but no one expected that Dongchuan Che would do something big! What's even more interesting is that perhaps to see other people's reactions, the restaurant staff opened the barrage without knowing the consequences, and then the next second - [Death!!!]

The huge red word "Death" filled the top of the screen!

At the same time, colorful bullet screens like [Damn you old thief Dongchuan!] [I'm going to the Holy Light Society to pull up a banner] [Wow, my Sakura] ["Banner Team to Resist Dongchuan" Gather in Akihabara at 9 o'clock tonight!] completely occupied the entire screen!

There were so many comments that the screen froze for a moment! At the same time, many young ladies and old ladies in the restaurant also received news from their own channels.

"Masaka! Thirty-four million views?! Over thirty-four million views in one hour of the premiere?!"

"It's on top! Oh my god! The work with the highest number of views within one hour of its premiere! We are witnessing history!"

"The server is overwhelmed! Someone here told me that the server of the GOGO platform is overwhelmed!"

"Phenomenal! Another phenomenal work!"

"This is just the beginning! Oh my god, I bet this third episode will completely blow up public opinion!"

"It's exploded! I just received the news that the number of views has jumped from 34 million to 42 million in just ten minutes. Public opinion has been ignited."

The whole restaurant was completely lit up, everyone was holding their phones and chatting excitedly. But it wasn't just them!

Because of the influence of the IP and Toru Fuyukawa, the attention to "Fate/Heaven's Grave" has always been very high, but many people want to save up to watch it after it's over, but the plot of the third episode is too exaggerated!

For film and television works, the plot is crucial, but at the same time, the method of expressing the plot is also crucial!

One of the most typical examples is Pulp Fiction.

This film, directed by Quentin, won the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. In terms of plot content alone, it is not completely amazing, but director Quentin used extremely exquisite circular narrative techniques to push the film to the peak.

Another example is "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". Although this anime by Mahou Shochu is considered to have pioneered the "tragic magical girl" genre, and the quality of the plot is indeed extremely excellent, if it had not been foreshadowing in the first two episodes and the reversal in the third episode, but had directly let the magical girl bear her fate at the beginning, the emotional impact it brought might have been completely different, not to mention that after "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", the term "third episode effect" was born in the animation industry.

In other words, the animation industry at that time judged the quality of an animation mainly by whether the beginning was attractive. If the first episode was not good, the whole work would be rejected. However, the plot of the third episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" "Headless Senior" was so wonderful that it not only made "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" a masterpiece, but also changed the atmosphere of the entire industry. More practitioners would no longer hastily judge the quality of the entire animation based on the beginning.

This is the bonus brought by top-notch narrative techniques!

Not to mention that the current Seiichisha is no longer the same Seiichisha that released "Fate/zero" in the middle of last year.

Although "Fate/zero" was also attracting much attention at that time, the capital, channels and connections of Holy Light Society were not very strong, and its publicity and promotion capabilities were not strong enough. But now, Dongchuan Che has both the people and the money.

After seeing through the background data that many viewers had watched the third episode, Holy Light Society immediately followed up with a large amount of publicity and promotion funds to the market!
An extremely exaggerated and excellent plot, coupled with top-notch narrative techniques and super-large-scale publicity and promotion.

The right time, right place and right people!

"Fate/Heaven's Grave" started airing at 7pm, and at 8pm it dominated almost all the trending search lists on social media!
The sisters in the restaurant were very excited, the audience outside were very excited, and the staff of the Holy Light Society were also very excited. But!
Dong Chuan Che was feeling a bit upset at this moment.

"Ahem, how about I come pick you up?"

"Hehe! I don't want a stinky uncle to pick me up! But you have to cook dinner for Xiaokui for a week! Okay, okay, hang up, Sayoko and the others have to sneak out the back door!"

beep-

"."

Looking at the hung up call, Dongchuan Che, who was playing basketball near the hot spring hotel, wiped the call with his shoulder, with a confused expression.

Beside them, Yuezhu Asuka, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Ohara Chika who was shooting on the court, and then handed a bottle of mineral water to Dongchuan Che, "The company building is under siege again?"

"Ahem, I heard the team has expanded again this time, and the people holding the banners are almost crowding onto the street."

Dongchuan Che drank some water with amusement.

I don't know when it started, but whenever he makes a stab in the plot or adds overly disgusting feces monsters to the game, a large group of players will run to the Holy Light Society building and hold up banners that night.

But what's interesting is that at first these players pulled the banners for their favorite characters, but later on.
It must be said that Miyano Miyano and Sato Fujiko are indeed very powerful women.

When players first started holding banners downstairs to protest, they both had a headache. After all, if this kind of activity wasn't handled properly, problems could easily arise. But they both discovered an interesting little thing, which was that when Sister Mei was the store manager of [Holy Light House] on the first floor, she would give these players who held banners some milk tea or cold water to cool them down. This incident became a hot topic of discussion on the Internet, a very joyful hot topic of discussion.

This is just a small matter, but both Miyano Miyano and Sato Fujiko keenly noticed the opportunity for hype!

Therefore, every time the Holy Light Society releases a new game, they will prepare some special towels with Holy Light Society characters printed on them, and then have the company's employees distribute them to these [players who hold banners to protest]. Moreover, they are different every time and will be out of print!

Therefore, gradually, this kind of activity changed from a simple protest to a special social event for the fans of the Holy Light Society, which also gave the Holy Light Society and the news media a means to hype the news.

The ability to skillfully transform a public opinion crisis into a hot topic of discussion is indeed very powerful. With these two virtuous wives sitting in the company headquarters, Dong Chuan Che is also very relieved.

But, most things have two sides.

This time, "Fate/Heaven's Cup" was so popular that the entire Holy Light Society building was surrounded. Although the animals holding the banners raised their heads and shouted "Old Fuyukawa, do you have a heart?", then lowered their heads to drink some milk tea and continued to chat with the Cosplayers who came to join in the fun, this did affect Izumi Himawari and the others' trip.

Look, today, Izumi Himawari did not go to the Sistar branch to practice singing, but ran to the Holy Light Society headquarters to check the data. But who knew that everything was fine when she came, but she couldn't go back because there were people everywhere outside.

Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che's mind naturally appeared the angry little face of Izumi Himawari.

"I'm afraid Xiaokui will nag me again when I get back."

Dongchuan Che smiled and shook his head. At this time, Chika Ohara, who was sweating profusely while dribbling and shooting, came over.

She has been in a semi-vacation state recently, so she did not wear the regular OL uniform. Instead, she wore a cute loose white vest on her upper body, with taut gray lace visible on the side. Her plump lower body was only covered with a pair of black hot pants and a pair of white sports shoes on her feet.

It’s a very sexy and hot outfit, especially when she’s running, even without the ball in her hands, she looks like she’s going to [carry the ball into someone].

Very sexy, very tempting, Dongchuan Che's eyes unconsciously lingered on the waving snowy mountain for a while. But it was obvious that someone who had just finished intense exercise didn't have too many thoughts in that regard. Ohara Chika just looked at him with amusement and charm, then took the mineral water from his hand and took a big gulp, "It seems that everything is going well."

This naturally refers to "Fate/Heaven's Grail".

Dongchuan Che smiled and nodded, "Yeah, that's expected."

"Tsk, that's to be expected. I don't know who was so excited last night."

Ohara Chika rolled her eyes gracefully, and Fuyukawa Che just smiled and shrugged, then his aggressive gaze wandered over her delicate body: "Come on, who wouldn't be excited to sleep with two of you beautiful girls? I'm not a eunuch."

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not talking about that kind of excitement!"

The topic suddenly turned to the dirty stuff, and Ohara Chika's eyes flashed with a little shyness and more sweetness and charm. And all of this was seen by Yuezhu Asuka.

A little bit jealous.

Although Dongchuan Che was not the only one accompanying Ohara Chika during these two days, he also took good care of Yuezhu Asuka. And because of her mobility problems, Dongchuan Che was the one who took care of her bathing and other things.

It's not like I haven't played with urinals before, but...
"She's not in bad shape either."

Seeing the huge thunderbolt under Ohara Chika's white vest and feeling Dongchuan Che's aggressive gaze, Yuezhu Asuka bit her canine teeth with a little jealousy, then opened her arms to Dongchuan Che and said cutely, "Well, I want to play basketball, too."

"Eh? Your leg isn't healed yet."

"Just carry him on your back."

"."

This was the first time for Tohru Fuyukawa to play basketball with someone on his back. However, under the teasing look of Chika Ohara, he still leaned over and carried Yuezhu Asuka, who had opened her arms to hug him.

True behind-the-back dribble.

Needless to say, through the sweat, Dongchuan Che quickly felt everything. It should be said that although the women in the family are all in great shape, plump and thin, very attractive, Yuezhu Asuka is a German-Japanese hybrid after all. Not only does she have a pair of long legs, but Dalei is even bigger in size. Moreover, compared with Sayoko and Miyano Mitsuko's soft and sticky bodies, Yuezhu Asuka is still more elastic.

Thinking of this, and since they were an old couple, Dongchuan Che did not hide anything and pushed Yuezhu Feiniao's body upwards a little bit.

Everyone knows Dongchuan Che's intention.

Needless to say, just as his little move came out, Yuezhu Feiniao, with a slightly red face, bit his ear and said, "You big pervert, stop moving. I want to play ball."

"They are also playing basketball, oh, dribbling the ball."

".Big pervert!"

"Hahaha."

After joking with Yuezhu Asuka, Dongchuan Che was in a good mood. Yuezhu Asuka, holding a basketball with his hands behind his back, rushed towards Ohara Chika who had her eyes wide open.

For a moment, joyful and hearty laughter filled the private basketball court under the bright moonlight. Occasionally, a few passers-by who were jogging at night would turn their heads to look and then complain, "Rich people really know how to have fun," but in the end they could only leave feeling uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit. Few people knew that this "perverted rich man" was the man who had caused a big storm in the entire entertainment industry tonight.
