A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

In the sky, a huge monster with an ominous aura was fighting fiercely with a long, straight black girl. →

Because Zhang Yunhai knew the information about this work in advance, he knew that the pink-haired girl who was running wild in the corridor was the protagonist of this work, Madoka.

The person fighting the monster in the sky should be Lin Xiaoyan, one of the female supporting characters.

It was obvious that Lin Xiaoyan was defeated by the monster and had been beaten to death by the monster.

"It's too much." Lu Yuan, a girl with pink hair and white silk stockings, looked at Lin Xiaoyan's miserable condition with worry and fear.

"There's nothing we can do. The burden would be too heavy for her alone."

The white rabbit-shaped shell looked at Madoka with innocent and cute red pupils.

"If you give up, that's the end of it."

"But your words can change your destiny. Just overturn all the tragic fate." Q Bei's tail waggled, and her voice was seductive.

"So, make a contract with me."

Dream.

Madoka, Shika Madoka to be precise, woke up from her sleep.

The scene in the previous dream was so real, the black-haired girl, the rabbit-like magical creature

Zhang Yunhai scratched his head, this is

Is there a foreshadowing at the beginning of the plot?

The contract between the rabbit and the heroine.

Well, no matter how you think about it, it is a contract to become a magical girl.

The first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica begins with an introduction to Madoka’s family environment.

My mother is a wealthy woman with strong working ability, and my father is a full-time cook with a lovely younger brother.

The family is harmonious without any conflicts. Madoka also has a good friend Shaye in school and has a harmonious relationship with her classmates.

Coupled with the cute healing style.

Zhang Yunhai soon relaxed.

Well, that's right, this is the warm and relaxing daily life of magical girls that he likes to watch.

He could watch a hundred episodes of animation with this kind of plot without getting bored.

But that's it.

Of course, the plot cannot be as heartwarming as this daily plot.

The new transfer student in the class, Lin Xiaoyan, looks exactly like the magical girl Madoka saw in her dream last night, who was fighting monsters.

This directly made Madoka feel strange and uneasy inside.

In the plot, Lin Xiaoyan took the initiative to get closer to Xiao Yuan and chatted with Xiao Yuan without any foreshadowing after transferring to another school.

"If you really value your family and friends, then never think about becoming a different version of yourself. Otherwise, you will lose everything."

Zhang Yunhai looked at Lin Xiaoyan's incomprehensible remarks to Lu Yuan and sat upright.

With many years of viewing experience, he can basically feel that this work, from the beginning to the present, is full of foreshadowing.

Obviously, Lu Yuan didn't know Lin Xiaoyan, but with Lin Xiaoyan's attitude, she must know something about Lu Yuan.

Madoka, Hitomi, and Shaye are the three best friends in school.

The animation plot basically advances simultaneously with the warm daily life of the three people and some hints of battle in the dark side of the city.

While Madoka was walking around the mall, she heard a voice calling for help to her.

Madoka followed the guidance of the voice, and finally saw a talking rabbit in the corridor who was seriously injured and asked Madoka for help.

The person who was chasing this rabbit was Lin Xiaoyan.

When the two had a heated argument about whether to let the rabbit go, the world around them collapsed. Madoka, Lin Xiaoyan and Sha Ye fell into a strange and unconventional world.

There are many strange creatures in the world, and it's like a maze that you can't get out of no matter how you walk, and it's full of dangers.

At the critical moment, a blonde lady with black stockings appeared.

Madoka's school senior, Asami Tomoe, appears.

Gorgeous transformation, golden magical girl costume, silver gun.

When Zhang Yunhai saw this scene, his whole body was suffocated.

So handsome.

The most important thing is the background music of this animation

It fits the style of the work very well.

This work claims to have invested 16 million, but with this picture quality, the investment of 16 million feels well worth it.

In the first episode, the home school environment of the main character Shika Madoka is introduced, with the appearance of the mysterious girl Lin Xiaoyan and senior sister Tomoe Mami.

As well as the appearance of the cute and super cute rabbit Q Bei, after Tomoe Mami appeared to protect it, Lin Xiaoyan had to let go of chasing it.

"Shikaoka, Shaye, I hope you can sign a contract with me and become magical girls."

This was the last sincere invitation that Q Bei looked at Xiao Xiaoyuan.

The first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is over.

Zhang Yunhai blinked.

I feel like I still have a lot to say.

In the first episode, the protagonist does not become a magical girl. This kind of plot rhythm is relatively slow among "magical girl" themed animations.

However, the foreshadowing plot of this work is also much more detailed than the magical girl animations that Zhang Yunhai has watched before.

In Madoka’s dream at the beginning of the first episode, why did Lin Xiaoyan know Madoka?

Why is she chasing Q Bei?

This work seems to be warm and harmonious, but in fact, Zhang Yunhai always feels strange.

He could feel that these foreshadowings would play a great role in promoting the subsequent plot, but with his eyesight after reading a thousand times, he could not guess how the subsequent plot would develop.

The real purpose behind these foreshadowings.

This situation is actually rare. After all, there are only those routines in anime works, especially magical girl-themed works.

Upgrade, fight monsters, upgrade again, fight monsters again, almost no magical girl animation can escape this circle.

Zhang Yunhai continued to click on his fan group of magical girl animation lovers.

"Lu Yuan is so cute."

"Lin Xiaoyan is so sassy, ​​I like her the most."

"The blue-haired girl Sha Ye is also pretty cool. I'm looking forward to her transformation."

"Miss Tomoe Mami is so cute. I really want to enter the animation world and let her give me a shot."

""Soldier of Love" teacher Sai Gao, he understands us. The first episode of this animation is really good."

"Hehe, chase chase chase."

"So the plot of the second episode is that after Shaye and Madoka agreed to Q Bei's invitation, they then join forces with Miss Tomoe Mami to defeat the evil villain Lin Xiaoyan, right?"

"Is Lin Xiaoyan a bad person? I didn't see it."

"How else can we look at this? The Q baby is so cute, but Lin Xiaoyan actually chases it. This only shows that Lin Xiaoyan is definitely a pervert with an extremely evil heart to do such a thing."

→

"How can you kill Tutu when Tutu is so cute? I also support the statement above. Although Lin Xiaoyan is also quite cute, compared to Tutu Q Bei, I choose Q Bei."

"But I feel that Lin Xiaoyan is not necessarily bad. She may be the kind of poor girl who was brainwashed by the threats of evil organizations. I think in the subsequent plot, it should be Madoka, Q Bei, and Tomoe Mami who use love and truth, goodness and beauty to influence her. , the plot of saving her from going astray.”

"I feel the same way."

"We have the same idea, haha. Sure enough, smart people like to watch magical girl-themed animations. My idiot brother and I watched the first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and he kept saying that Q Bei was probably The Bad Rabbit is a Bichi rabbit pretending to be innocent, so Lin Xiaoyan chased it. His remarks made me laugh, and I kicked him to go do his elementary school homework and eat his snacks. "Let's see if he dares to insult the cute rabbit."

"Your brother is so stupid. This is a rabbit that can make girls become magical girls. If it is bad, then what are the magical girls? Are they the thugs of the bad guys? This kind of thinking of an elementary school student is called unconstrained at best, and unconstrained at worst. It’s called having a low IQ.”

"Damn it, stop talking about what's going on upstairs, are you spoiling me like this and why do you still want to watch Mao Yao later?"

In the fan group, a large group of magical girl animation lovers spoke enthusiastically.

Although, the first episode of this animation didn’t have any shocking plots or fights.

But the plot is not procrastinating, the foreshadowing is just right, and the cute looks of the main characters are

That's enough.

The first anime episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica has an average viewership rating of 1.8% for the entire episode.

When everyone in Xia Yan's company got the ratings data the next day, everyone fell into a carnival.

Normally, for works broadcast on TV1 on Thursday at nine o'clock in the evening, the average viewership rating is about 1.6%. For works with better quality, it will be around 1.8 or 1.9%, for works with lower quality , 1.1%, 1.2% or even 0.9% ratings are possible.

For example, the first episode of "Unheard Flower Name" was aired at a relatively good time on Modou TV4, and the ratings were not even 1%. The gap between the two channels is actually quite large.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica's 1.8% is a very good rating for this TV station during this period.

As long as the following episodes can stabilize this ratings.

The total investment of more than 30 million in Puella Magi Madoka Magica will definitely be recovered, so that no one will encounter the embarrassing situation of finding a job because the company closed down due to losses.

So on this day, everyone in the company looked relaxed and happy.

until

Xia Yan brought the script of the second half of Puella Magi Madoka Magica to the company, except for the last episode, and asked the entire company's main employees to come to the office for a meeting.

at the meeting.

They finally saw the script after the sixth episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, so to speak

Everyone looked shocked.

Damn, this is a magical girl-themed animation?

A dark fairy tale.

The plot is profound, but can the audience bear it? With such a dark and depressing plot, won’t all the audience be scared away by the plot, right?

In the next few days, various works were launched one after another in the Longguo Summer Animation Market.

For example, "Machine City", which was broadcast on Modou TV1 at 7pm on Friday, had a ratings of 3.01% for the first episode.

"Thrilling", which aired on Modou TV2 at 7:30 pm on Friday, had a ratings of 2.89% for the first episode.

"Dragon's Secret Treasure", which aired on Teito TV1 at 7pm on Saturday, had a ratings of 3.05% for the first episode.

And at 7pm on Sunday, the original animation masterpiece "Summer Time" with an investment of 70 million was broadcast on the Imperial TV2 channel. The first episode had a ratings of 2.85%.

These four works respectively occupy the top four spots in the first episode ratings in the summer animation market.

As for the first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, it has a ratings of 1.81%, ranking 21st among the new animations of Dragon Kingdom this season.

This result is honestly quite good.

Many animation fans on the Internet say they don’t like to watch old-fashioned magical girl animations, but in fact, animations with cute and cute girls transforming into bright colors are still very popular among the audience.

but

This is just the beginning.

Nowadays, the works of major animation companies are basically paid to broadcast. Whether the initial ratings of their own animation works are high or low is not the most important.

What matters is the overall quality. Is it unfinished, is the plot toxic, and are the reviews highly negative?

These things directly affect data such as the BD sales of these works after the animation broadcast is completed, the sales price of overseas broadcast copyrights, and peripheral sales.

In school, Xia Yan carefully studied the ratings data of various summer works and let out a long breath.

"The highest-rated work, the first episode has a 3% ratings?" Xia Yan felt certain when he saw this.

The ratings at the beginning of the broadcast should rise to more than 4% by the time it ends.

As for the kind of work that can make the TV station's ratings soar to above 6, it is rare to find it. The four major TV stations often find it difficult to find one or two animations that can achieve such results every year.

Therefore, the current situation of the animation market this quarter is that there are many and mixed works, but for the time being, animation with the potential to become a phenomenon-level work has not been seen.

Xia Yan was naturally relieved that his competitors were at this level. He is definitely not satisfied with the more than 20 rankings and 1.8% ratings of the first episode of Magic Circle. After all, this is Magic Circle.

As long as there are no monster animation works from the Dragon Kingdom area to disrupt the situation at the same time, although even if there are those works, Magic Circle is not afraid of competition, they will eventually hinder each other and hold back each other, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

But now, Xia Yan's mentality is still relatively stable as he still has to wait a few weeks for the Mo Yuan animation to take off.

I spent the whole day writing animation scripts at school and at home, drawing storyboards for Initial D, and supervising the production of the animation.

But that's it.

Yesterday, Xia Yan still received a call from Bai Xuan.

Remind him that Parasite Beast has been finished for some time, and he should focus on the new future and create a new novel as soon as possible, and don't make fans wait too long.

However, Xia Yan was currently busy with the company's animation production and comic drawing, so he had no choice but to decline and put the serialization of his new novel on hold for now.

However, Song Lingjun's new novel has shown great results in "The Color of Glaze", making great progress all the way, and the number of readers' votes in each issue has increased greatly.

Xia Yan and Tang Yin were together yesterday to celebrate the success of her new novel.

Soon, another few days passed.

The premiere date for the second episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica has arrived.
