A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Sunday

Xia Yan's fans are used to the excitement on this day.

Unlike other creators, Xia Yan's output of works tends to be higher and higher.

It is very common for top two-dimensional creators in Longguo to produce one work every three to five years. There is no one like Xia Yan who is expected to produce four works a year in Longguo.

Moreover, because he has been cooperating with TV1 in Shanghai for a long time, his works are basically broadcast at 8 o'clock on Sunday night. In the past one or two years, the audience has developed a habit. Just like watching the news broadcast, most two-dimensional fans in Longguo will consciously empty their various affairs at the time point on Sunday night and develop a good habit of chasing anime.

Nowadays, Fullmetal Alchemist has aired five episodes, and the ratings are basically above 6%, making it the highest-rated work among all TV stations and all programs in Longguo at this stage.

Xia Tang Animation also cooperated with TV1 in Shanghai. The latter took advantage of its decades of advantages and promoted it online, while the former was almost GG screen-sweeping offline, at comic exhibitions, commercial streets and other places.

In just one month, Dragon Country ACG fans can see all the posters, slogans, and GG about Fullmetal Alchemist as long as they go to the relevant offline gathering places.

These operations also made Fullmetal Alchemist pass its most criticized early plot, the memory plot of how the protagonist Edward became the National Alchemist.

After all, the early rhythm of Fullmetal Alchemist is a bit slow.

After 6 pm, Dragon Country ACG fans have become active as usual.

"Sunday is finally here. I've been waiting so long."

"Last week, the plot was about the National Alchemist Exam. It was so cool that Edward could perform alchemy without an alchemy array. But is this the protagonist's halo? Why can Edward perform alchemy without an alchemy array?"

"Maybe it has something to do with the "Gate" that Edward and Alphonse have come into contact with? In fact, the animation Fullmetal Alchemist has a lot of foreshadowing now, the "Gate", the Philosopher's Stone, human alchemy, and where did the mother who was created by the two brothers go? Where is the father of Edward and his brothers?"

"Finally, the story of the two brothers' childhood memories is finished. This week, we will finally enter the main plot."

"But what is the main plot of this animation? It's really... Is it just that the two protagonists are looking for the Philosopher's Stone to restore their bodies? "

"Never mind, you will understand after watching it. Don't try to guess the plot of the old thief. If you can't guess it, it's just like when Lelouch was first broadcast. Who could have guessed that the old thief would have so many swords and finally let Lelouch die?"

"Don't mention Lelouch. I still feel stomachache when I think of Lelouch. I can only say that the old thief is also a title party. The protagonist is not Lelouch at all. It's not good at all."

"Haha, isn't the theatrical version like this? Do you want every animation to be as popular as the Madoka movie version of Rebellion? "

Han Wei ate snacks while looking away from the discussion post on the computer.

Next to her computer, there was another monitor connected to the TV terminal, playing the screen of Magic City TV1.

Before Xia Yan's works generally occupied the 8 pm time period, the TV station at this time should have broadcast weather forecasts and other programs.

But since this time period of Magic City TV1 was hyped by Xia Yan's works, the twenty minutes before 8 pm on Sunday night is a dense GG.

Han Wei looked at these GGs with bored eyes, waiting for the time to come.

"Alas, I don't know when these animation series will be directly broadcast on the Internet. It's too troublesome for TV stations to broadcast them, especially the GG implantation of TV1 in Magic City. In the animation of more than 20 minutes, two five-second GGs were forced to be inserted in the middle. It's disgusting."

Han Wei shook her head.

But she also knew that things would not be as simple as she thought.

Many online video websites have begun to rise in Longguo, but animation companies will definitely not easily cooperate with those websites.

How else can the animation bd be sold? If it can be watched on the website, who will buy high-definition discs.

Unless the income from online broadcasting can cover the offline losses.

A bunch of information flashed in my mind, and time passed quietly. Soon, the sixth episode of Fullmetal Alchemist animation was broadcast on time.

The timeline changed from the protagonist Edward passing the national alchemist assessment in the previous episodes to him being officially granted the status and having adapted to the work of the national alchemist with his younger brother Alphonse.

At the beginning of the sixth level, Edward and his brother Alphonse came to the home of another "national alchemist" introduced by the main supporting character Roy.

There, they met the family of this alchemist "Taka".

His daughter Nina, and Nina's big white dog.

The plot of this episode was relatively relaxed at the beginning.

The main perspective is the shot of Edward and "Taka's" daughter Nina playing.

In addition, some research matters about "Taka" are interspersed in the animation.

His research is about creating a synthetic beast "Chimera" that can understand human language through alchemical biological transformation.

Even Han Wei can understand the value of this thing at a glance.

If anyone can create highly intelligent animals that can understand human language, then these animals can help in many jobs, or even replace humans.

The annual national alchemist examination is also about to begin. National alchemists must pass this examination every year to continue to enjoy the status and treatment of national alchemists.

Obviously, if "Taka" wants to pass the inspection this year, all it needs is to come up with a phased research report on synthetic beasts.

The two Edward brothers are good friends with Taka, and they have a deep relationship with Taka's daughter Nina.

"Well, the story has slowed down."

"Is this episode a daily plot?"

"It should be, just like Lelouch, when he is not conquering the world in politics, he also has to take final exams in school and keep in touch with friends. It seems that Steel Refining is also like this. Let's fight in a few episodes. , and then another episode of daily drama.”

"But the daily life of Edward and Nina's family is quite interesting."

“Nina is so cute.

"It's just kind of tragic."

"Nina's mother left before Taka became the state alchemist because her father was poor?"

"If Taka fails to pass the inspection this time, the family will return to the previous poverty. I feel that this setting is so strange. Will the national alchemist also fall into this kind of predicament due to lack of money?"

"The protagonist Edward is special. Most alchemists don't have the combat power of the two brothers. At most, they are only at the level of a chemical experimenter. Nina Gu's father should be like this. Her alchemy ability is in the field of biology. You may be able to become a surgeon of a certain level through alchemy, but that’s about it.”

"In the world view of Steel Refining, poverty is everywhere!"

"I feel that the protagonist's genius is really disappointing. Nina's father only became a national alchemist when he was in his thirties or forties because of the alchemy of synthetic beasts. If he fails to pass the academic results check, his status will be revoked. On the other hand, the protagonist, fighting A class alchemist, anyway, as long as his strength does not decline, he will not have this kind of trouble."

"But this kind of combat-type alchemist has to go to the front line to fight. He might accidentally burp his butt."

In the fan forum, whenever the animation is broadcast on TV, there are always fans who are distracted and discussing it.

This is also the habit of these people watching animation.

Han Wei also switched back and forth between the computer screen and the TV monitor on the table, and occasionally typed with her fingers to respond to comments in the fan group.

Seeing this, she didn't feel anything yet.

The first half of the episode couldn't be more like the position of Edward and his friend Taka's family.

→

Let’s give a little more depth to the details of the National Alchemist.

Then, an important character is also interspersed in this episode, a strong man "Ska" with a scar on his head and a strange alchemy array carved on his arm.

Since the appearance of this character, the animation Steel Refining has actually entered the main line.

Then the animation keeps switching back and forth between daily puzzle solving and exploration plots.

The military's investigation mission, the purpose of the mysterious man Ska, and the appearance of some ordinary military characters, such as Hughes and others.

But starting from the second half of this episode, the plot

Be it the atmosphere or the BGM, everything has changed.

The investigation by Edward and others was hindered.

Nina's father "Taka" was pressured by the military, requiring him to produce the research results of the "Chimera" beast with human intelligence within two days.

Han Wei actually saw this

I had a slightly bad feeling in my heart.

She didn't understand what was wrong, but she felt nervous for no reason.

This unremarkable attitude plot follows Edward and Alphonse once again going to the home of their friend "Taka" to check the research results of "Taka" as a "destiny alchemist".

And the two came to "Taka"'s house.

Then he saw the white "dog"-like creature with melancholy eyes inside his house.

A thought flashed through Han Wei's mind, and she immediately recalled it. Isn't this the dog-like creature in the last shot of the steel trailer last month? .

At that time, a large group of Dragon Kingdom fans were still discussing whether this dog beast could be the boss of Steel Refining. But now it seems that it is just a very ordinary chapter character.

A seemingly unremarkable character called "Taka" is a dog-like "Alchemy Beast" that took several days to make.

Um.

But Han Wei still felt a little uncomfortable.

Because the animation's light and shadow, background music, and "Taka" expression all made her feel a little depressed.

[Look, that person is called Edward. 】Taka, a middle-aged man, said with a smile to his masterpiece "Chimera" beast, which can understand human speech.

【Edward? 】The dog-like creature looked at the two Edward brothers.

[Alas, I finally made it to the verification date. This way, I don’t have to worry about research funding. ] Taka said to the two protagonist brothers with a tired smile.

Alphonse was still happy that his friend had produced research results.

Only Edward's eyes showed pain when he saw the dog beast.

When he came to the dog beast, he squatted down and looked into its eyes.

[Edward Edward. Big brother! 】

In the animation, the big white dog-shaped, talking alchemy beast looked at Edward and said these words. Han Wei, who was watching the animation, felt a chill running from her toes to her scalp.

Edward?

Big brother.

Big brother.

Isn't this the name "Taka"'s daughter "Nina" calls Edward?

No way.

No way.

The dark plot produced by this animation here makes Han Wei feel a little uncomfortable just thinking about this possibility.

This plot is a bit too cold!

In the fan group, a large group of fans even noticed something was wrong.

"Hey, the old thief won't cause trouble, right?"

"No matter how you look at the plot, Taka took his own daughter and the family dog ​​and turned him into a deformed monster."

"Is this made from a human body?"

"True or false."

"No, Nina."

"Damn, this Taka doesn't seem like a vicious person. How could he attack his daughter?"

"A "Chimera" beast that can understand human intelligence? Is this a direct transplantation of human brains into animal bodies? And then eliminates rejection through alchemy."

"Stop talking, I feel sick and a little unwell."

"That's really the case. The plot is too dark."

The fan base was noisy.

On the TV station, animation continues to advance.

The plot is indeed in the same direction as everyone imagined.

【When did your wife leave you? ] Edward lowered his head and asked in the direction of Taka.

【Two years ago. 】

[When did you pass the National Alchemist Examination based on the results of your Chimeramon research? ] Edward asked again.

【Two years ago. 】Taka's eyes have changed, and the kind smile at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.

Han Wei swallowed when she heard this.

In this animated episode, the happy moments between Edward and Taka's family in the first half of the episode are contrasted with the awkward tone of the confrontation between Edward and Taka in this moment.

[Where are your daughter Nina and your dog Alexander? ] Edward raised his head, his eyes filled with a deep and sad roar.

[Alas, I hate an intuitive brat like you the most. 】

Taka's sigh directly made Han Wei's heart sink.

really

That's the plot.

Taka, turned his daughter and the family dog ​​into monsters, and

It is not difficult to guess from the previous conversation that his wife did not leave him because she was poor, but that he turned his wife into a monster in order to become a national alchemist. Now, in order to keep his national alchemist identity

Killed his daughter again.

It was the first time for Han Wei to watch an animation and was so excited by the plot that her heart went cold.

What kind of person is this?

[Are you kidding, such casual play with human life?] Edward grabbed Taka by the neck, his eyes full of anger.

[You mean human life? Yeah? You mean human life? Aren't your and your brother's bodies the result of you two playing with human lives? 】

When Han Wei saw this, her heart was shocked.

She finally understood why Xia Yan arranged such a plot in this episode.

Why is the human body not allowed to be refined in the world of alchemists?

It is difficult for viewers who just watch animation to feel the heaviness behind these rules in the animation world.

But at this time.

Almost all animation fans understand what the human body is made of.

[Even though I understand that it is taboo, I still can’t help but want to try it. You and I are the same. ] Taka said with a smile.

When Han Wei heard Taka's words, she felt some inexplicable feelings in her heart.

Although she knew that these words were spoken by him to Edward in the animation, while watching the animation, she couldn't help but think about her own past due to these plots.

But the scene that shocked Han Wei the most was

Edward beat Taka because of his anger, but next to him, "Nina" with the body of a dog stood in front of Edward and stopped him from beating his father.

Facing Taka, who fell to the ground with blood on his face, his father said

[Dad...does it hurt? 】

[Dad, does it hurt? 】

The background music becomes sad, and "Nina" touches her father with the body of a dog. In her eyes, there is the pain of her father being violently injured.

Han Wei's eyes turned red.

this.

What is this! Old thief.

Inexplicably, the knife comes again?

Can you come up with this kind of plot and make it into an animation?

If you were the god who dominated everything in your work, couldn't you give these characters a better ending?
