A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

In the spring, Ganglian released more than a dozen episodes, which can be considered the beginning of the main plot of this work.

The country's spies hidden in the military, the androids, and the secrets the Philosopher's Stone seems to hide.

Dragon Kingdom animation fans haven’t gotten over the plot of Steelmaking yet. At the end of March

The bombardment of slam dunk announcements appeared overwhelmingly in the Dragon Kingdom.

Prior to this, posters, promotions, peripherals, and comic exhibitions for two-dimensional works everywhere were filled with steel animation elements.

But overnight, the image of the protagonist of Slam Dunk, the red-haired boy, wearing a red No. 10 autumn coat, directly swept the major comic exhibitions and the surrounding commercial streets of the second dimension.

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

Of course, we will try our best to avoid conflicts with the broadcast of our own works at the same time.

Slam Dunk is aired on the first Saturday in April at 8pm, one day apart from Fullmetal Alchemist.

However, there is another high-profile masterpiece to be released this quarter.

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

However, the producers behind Initial D would not be stupid enough to confront Xia Yan and let his own work beat them.

Put it on air Friday night at 8 p.m.

The TV station that broadcasts Initial D is Teito TV1, the same TV station that made Xia Yan spend more than 10 million to buy broadcast slots for the broadcast of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Xia Yan had no choice but to pay 100% of the money so that Mo Yuan could have a good broadcasting station.

But I definitely felt that I was at a bit of a disadvantage later. In addition, the staff of the operation department of Modu TV1 worked hard to persuade Xia Yan. Naturally, I started to cooperate directly with Modu TV1 from then on.

As for the structure of the Longguo TV station industry, ever since Xia Yan and Modu TV1 established a profound cooperative relationship, it has changed from the two heroes in the past to the current situation where Modu TV1 is superior and Imperial TV1 is under one person. , everything else is a scumbag situation.

Of course, Didu TV1 also knows that there are too many people in Dragon Kingdom’s second dimension. A good animation work can greatly increase the TV group’s loyalty to the TV station and cultivate their viewing habits. Therefore, in the past two years, it has also introduced a large number of Dragon Kingdom The works of the three major animation production companies want to compete with the combination of Xia Yan and Modu Pushing the Door.

But the result is obvious, so this year we took advantage of the opportunity of Initial D animation to introduce Initial D at a price of 20 million more than that of Shanghai TV1.

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

Modou TV1 has already led its old rival Didu TV1 by half a position, becoming the most profitable among the hundreds of TV stations in the Dragon Kingdom.

Liuli Publishing House has also become the number one publishing house in the Long Kingdom novel world, and Beizhou Comics has also become the number one publishing house in the comics world.

Of course, these competitions, rankings, rankings, etc. all change in real time. Just like after the completion of Dragon Ball in the island country in the parallel world, Jump's comic magazine sales dropped from 6.5 million copies in a single month at its peak to 4 One million copies, down one third

After the slam dunk was over, another bunch of sales dropped.

Although Dead Fire was serialized one after another, Jump's journal sales were stabilized, but its glory was basically gone. The once-weekly figure of 6.5 million copies became a giant in the industry.

In the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yan has now become a presence with similar or even greater influence on the industry in just a few years.

It can be said that if Xia Yan suddenly fell ill and stopped all work for two or three years, the performance of the companies that cooperated with Xia Yan would at least decline by at least one-third, and the company's stock price would plummet. In the series of industrial chains that the work has established, the income of thousands of people will be affected to varying degrees.

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

Although Xia Yan has indeed taken a large piece of the pie in the industry in the past few years since his rise, he has also used his influence to make the pie of the two-dimensional industry even bigger in the past few years. Only the vested interests in the past have been hurt. Moreover, those collaborators who followed the same path as Xia Yan basically became fatter by eating soup and meat.

Slam Dunk’s intense publicity for several consecutive days completely ignited the animation market in April.

The plot of Steel Refining is coming to a head, and it’s unclear what the plot of Slam Dunk’s new game will be, but with the broadcast of the Initial D animated version, fans of the 2D Dragon Kingdom will basically not question it.

“It’s summer and New Year’s Eve.”

"Watch Initial D on Friday night, Slam Dunk on Saturday, and Steel on Sunday, which is pretty good. This arrangement is great."

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

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

"Slam Dunk is the most expensive animation for a single episode in the history of Dragon Kingdom. I don't know what level the quality will be by then."

"Didn't you watch the trailer? Anyway, I won't talk about the plot or anything, just the painting, the bunker."

"I haven't really watched the trailer. I've been working overtime every day in the spring. I'm exhausted. I haven't paid much attention to the new animation."

"Anyway, the plot is set in 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 an island country, Initial D is also an island country, and now Slam Dunk is also an island country. Why don't you just set the story in the work in the Dragon Kingdom?"

"Lelouch is set in the Dragon Kingdom. I'm afraid the work won't be broadcast. No matter how much the Dragon Kingdom official relaxes the censorship, it's impossible for the Dragon Kingdom to appear as a colony in the work. As for the initial D, it was mentioned in previous discussions Well, this kind of mountain road competition takes place in the entire Dragon Kingdom, and the protagonist’s team will never be the best in the world. As for the slam dunk, there is a very attractive term in the trailer: "National High School Basketball Competition". ”

"?National High School Basketball Tournament? What is that?"

"You can tell just by the name. I estimate that 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 dragon country has a population of more than one billion , tens of thousands of high schools, hundreds of cities, want to hold a national competition in Longguo, it’s ridiculous, these students, so many teams, do nothing for a semester, just play basketball, they can’t compare to the number one in the country Come.

"Indeed, when you think about it, this island country setting is really useful!"

"However, when I heard about the national competition and this kind of plot, I really started to look forward to it. It turns out that if it's not a professional basketball league but high school basketball, I'd still be interested in watching it!"

"Professional basketball is indeed, there is nothing good to see, but there are no results anyway."

"And the quality of the Slam Dunk trailer is really amazing. The protagonist is a bit weird. Judging from the behavior in the trailer, he looks a bit like a delinquent."

"Bad boy? As soon as you say that, I'm interested!"

"Hey, bad boys are playing basketball, old thieves really dare to create!"

"Also, the BGM in the trailer is a bit exciting. The song called "Waiting for You at the End of the World", the more I listen to it, the more I get hooked."

"Another song composed by the old thief himself?"

"That's right."

"It's a pity that the old thief doesn't sing, he only composes music. Otherwise, the BGM and music he created for his works over the years would be enough for him to open a 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 obtained. Judging from the old thief's current popularity, if he does this, he may directly become the most popular musician in the Dragon Kingdom."

"If you think about it carefully, the old thief is really outrageous. In addition to being average in studies, he is also top-notch in comics, novels, animation, and music. I heard that the company is already setting up game, TV series, and movie departments. If games, TV series, and movies are three He has also revitalized the big sections. This guy is truly the top boss in the entertainment industry of Jackie Chan."

"Stop talking. Anyway, don't be surprised by anything this old thief does. I don't treat him as a human being. I guess I wouldn't be too surprised if he made an announcement that day that he was an alien."

"Ha ha."

Amid the heated discussions among Dragon Kingdom fans, finally, March passed and April came.

Xia Yan also woke up from the previous bad experience and cooperated with the company to promote the broadcast of his dunk.

And although the animated version of Initial D was not produced by Xia Yan Company, it is the original comic after all, and people have to cooperate with Beizhou Comics and animation producers to promote it.

All in all, in the first few days of April, the Dragon Kingdom animation industry was in a commotion because of Xia Yan's activity. There was overwhelming news about his attendance at various fan meetings and comic exhibition events for promotion.

Finally, it’s the first Friday in April.

The first episode of the animated version of Initial D has been aired.

Unlike the wealthy Xia Tang Animation, Initial D's production budget is not abundant, and the average production budget for each episode is just over 2 million.

The animation quality of this year’s Lelouch and Steelmaking is definitely incomparable to last year’s.

But compared with the Initial D animation in the parallel world, the racing scenes involve 3D modeling, and in terms of various animation scenes, the Dragon Kingdom version of the Initial D animation is undoubtedly much better.

Some of the non-keyframe paintings may have flaws, and supporting characters may occasionally be blurred, their faces distorted, or the frame rate is low.

But at least in the first episode

Wherever there is a racing plot, no one from the audience will complain.

Of course, on the night the first episode was broadcast, "Natsu Shu", a female character whose name had been silent for two years, was once again a hot search topic among the vast number of 2D fans in Dragon Kingdom.

86 Go up the mountain, run up the tree. These stalks have become popular again.

Similar to the situation in parallel time and space, Natsuki's character has indeed made countless fans sad, but she also plays an impeccable role in spreading the popularity of Initial D's works.

next day

Teito TV1 announced the broadcast data of the first episode of Initial D on time.

The first episode’s ratings were 5.12%.

This achievement can only be said to be barely adequate for Xia Yan, but for the animation company behind Initial D, this is the best animation broadcast data in their company's history.

During the day, Dragon Kingdom animation fans had a heated discussion about the plot of the Initial D animation, and then at night.

The highlight of this quarter is here.

The first episode of the Slam Dunk anime aired.

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

Of course, there are definitely no major changes, just minor changes.

Because of Slam Dunk, there are actually some problems with the early plot of the original comic.

When this work was serialized in the parallel world island country, the author Takehiko Inoue planned to serialize it into a comic that is funny and has a little passionate bad fighting.

The early plots were mostly about Sakuragi Hanamichi getting treasures and fighting, being half-hearted about basketball, and always wanting to quit the school basketball team or flirting with the head of the judo team.

This plot is actually suitable for a funny bad manga.

It's a pity that when it was serialized, because the popularity of the early plot of Slam Dunk was a bit low, the author Inoue Takehiko hurriedly organized an exchange match with Ryonan to prevent the manga from being cut off. From there, the popularity of Slam Dunk actually slowly rose.

As for Xia Yan, the animation power of the Longguo version will definitely grasp the key points of this work.

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

However, even so, after the first episode of Slam Dunk was broadcast, the response in the Longguo animation industry was still controversial.

On the night of the first episode, his fans stayed up all night on major forums, and those who liked and disliked him quarreled.

"No, a bad boy is the protagonist? This will teach children bad things."

"The protagonist just likes to fight, but he is not the kind of bad boy who bullies the weak and collects protection fees. There is nothing wrong with this."

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

"It's just that I feel that this kind of protagonist who dyed his hair red in high school, is tall and strong, and fights at the slightest disagreement is a bit scary. On the other hand, the male supporting actor Liu Chuanfeng (Ryukawa Kaede) is really good!"

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

"The difference is that he is more handsome! Anime fans all follow their appearance."

"."

"This painting is wasted, such a good picture quality, It's a bit of a waste to use it for gang fights. I want to watch an orthodox basketball animation. Basketball is not very popular in Longguo. I hope that Lao Zei's work can save the popularity of Longguo basketball. "

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

"That's right...ah."

"And the protagonist, the reason for joining the basketball club is so nerdy, just to pick up girls, haha, I laughed to death."

"Honestly, Lao Zei's animation is not a comedy animation, right?"

"It's possible, funny basketball, it feels like there's something to it."

"What's the point? I'm willing to watch bad boys fighting, and I'm also willing to watch orthodox basketball. Bad boys playing basketball? The plot won't be a one-on-one fight on the court later, right? The character appeared with a sentence "If you don't want to knock me into the hospital, you can't score a goal? ””

“I haven’t seen much of a clue in the first episode, but if the style is the same, I will follow it.”

“As for the first episode, it’s not as good as Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, or Initial D, but it’s more interesting than the first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Give it 70 points.”

“I think so too. Anyway, the old thief’s work is a little patient.”

Similar to what Xia Yan thought, there were some negative reviews for the first episode of Slam Dunk, but not many. After all, although the fights between bad boys are not a plus, they are not a poisonous point in the animation plot.

Of course, the protagonist is funny, but the expected Slam Dunk and Ace are not seen. The protagonist starts as a member of the basketball club’s preparatory department and learns basketball from scratch, which also makes the audience feel that the plot may be too slow.

This point slightly affects the rating of Slam Dunk.

However, under the influence of Xia Yan's huge popularity, the ratings of the first episode of Slam Dunk are still very high.

It reached 5.60%, which is indeed a little worse than the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist, which had a rating of over 6%, but it is better than the first episode of Initial D, which aired last night.

Xia Yan himself knows that the plot quality of the first episode of Slam Dunk is not bad, but it is not very good. With this ratings, it is purely his fans who give him face.

He is quite satisfied with it personally, but the members of the Slam Dunk animation production team are panicking. The director of the production team came to Xia Yan's office early in the morning to take the initiative to admit his mistakes and apologize for the failure of the first episode of Slam Dunk to meet expectations.

This made Xia Yan speechless, and he quickly comforted him and the members of the production team, asking them not to be so stressed.

After all, the production cost of Fullmetal Alchemist is not as high as that of Slam Dunk. The ratings were over 6% when it was broadcast, while Slam Dunk was only 5.6%. It is inevitable that they are under pressure.

Competition is also fierce within Xia Tang Animation.

So far, the first episodes of the two most anticipated new animations of Longguo this quarter have been aired one after another.
