Chapter 151: Uncle Meng is going bankrupt

The final version of the script adopts the elements of the "Western Regions", and the main line revolves around the legendary "Heavenly Fire" that can conquer the world in the Western Regions.

After the story is refined, it is roughly a series of battles between archaeology professor Ai Zhong and his assistant Yi Dashan tracking down the prehistoric civilization in the Western Regions, looking for the "heavenly fire" left by the civilization that can conquer the world, being discovered by the careerist Dr. Shi, and then starting a series of battles around the four spirit warriors.

The villain in the early stage is Dr. Shi and his men, and the villain in the later stage is the demon god Chiyou who has reappeared in the world.

The story is simple and clear, but the filming of this drama needs to travel between Jiangchuan and the Western Regions. Considering the unique climate and geographical conditions of the Western Regions, the filming work faced great difficulties.

After determining the direction of the script, Meng Lang led the crew to hundreds of people from Jiangchuan to the Western Regions......

Eventually enter the city of Kamu.

Knowing that a crew was coming to shoot and film, Kamu City provided Meng Lang with great help, including providing food and drinking water needed by the crew, as well as a local guide.

Why a guide?

The answer is that the crew will include some scenic spots in Kamu City in the scope of filming, and in order to better understand the stories behind these attractions, a guide is needed to introduce them.

In addition, there is a part of the crew that needs to go deep into the desert for filming.

The desert is a very dangerous area, and without the guidance of a local guide, it will be difficult to get out of it.

The guide's name is Acrylic, and when he learned that someone from other places was coming to film the "Western Regions" TV series, he volunteered to be a guide.

After joining the group, he met Meng Lang.

"Mr. Meng, what is Tianhuo?"

Acrylic was very puzzled, as a native of the Western Regions, he had never heard this word since he was a child, why did Mr. Meng say that "Tianhuo" represented the Western Regions?

"Skyfire is the legend of prehistoric civilization, but prehistoric civilization is not equal to ...... skyfire"

It was really difficult to explain this heavenly fire to Acrylic, after all, he didn't know any myths and legends. said that Tianhuo is Chiyou, and he may have to ask "who is Chiyou".

Just push it to prehistoric civilizations.

Acrylic instantly thought of a word, and asked without thinking, "Loulan Ancient Kingdom?"

"Huh?"

Meng Lang, who was beckoning the actor to put on makeup, was suddenly stunned, and then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

In the legend of Tianhuo, the prehistoric civilization as a "background board" is not fully narrated and is very mysterious.

Before this, he always thought that this was the setting that the original screenwriter came up with in a snap. But when Acrylic said "Loulan Ancient Kingdom", it made him a little curious.

It seems to be really the ancient country of Loulan!

The screenwriter of the original version did not make up the so-called "prehistoric civilization", but applied the history of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Meng Lang smiled, although this discovery did not help the filming work, but it was also a good thing. In the future, when someone asks a similar question, he can apply this answer.

......

When Meng Lang entered the Western Regions to shoot, the "YOYO Niang" and comics that had previously released the news were officially released to the whole network!

Along with the release, there is also the first episode of the "YOYO Musume" TV anime.

As for why TV anime is not premiered on TV platforms and put on the Internet, there are two main reasons.

First, YOYO is too adult-oriented, and at the same time has a tendency to sell meat, and it is unlikely that domestic TV stations will broadcast it on TV.

Second, the style is more suitable for online broadcasting.

"YOYO Niang" is a 2D animation, adapted from the comic of the same name, and the production team has a number of neon artists.

There are only 10 episodes in the first season, each episode is 20 minutes, and even if it is OP and ED time, it is only 25 minutes.

This length and the number of episodes......

Neon can still be broadcast on TV, but in China, it can only be premiered exclusively on the Internet.

"YOYO Niang" and anime, also known as "My Toy Wife", are pushed to readers through cooperation with major online sites.

The physical version was first printed in 50,000 copies, half of which was sold offline by bookstores, and the other half was filled in the "PD official website" for online sale.

The book didn't sell much, after all, comics can be found on mobile phones, who is stupid not to buy a thick and heavy physical book?

Of course, readers who have physical reading habits say otherwise.

Anyway, the sales were very poor, and 10,000 copies of the 50,000 physical books were sold on the first day, and the next day they plummeted, and only more than 1,000 copies were sold.

If you want to sell 50,000 books and 50,000 comics, you will have to wait a while.

On the Internet, "My Toy Wife" has gained extremely high exposure. The number of hits on the comics both exceeded 100 million, which became the focus of discussion among netizens.

The "YOYO Musume" anime, which premiered in the Penguin Video "PD Zone", also caused discussion, but compared to the countless praises of the manga, the anime was unanimously complained.

"I can't watch it after opening a membership, so I have to pay an extra yuan? Pengda wants to go crazy for money, right?"

"One dollar for one episode, do you have to spend sixty or seventy if you want to watch it? If you make it like One Piece Hokage...... Tsk!"

"What kind of animation to watch, isn't it good to prostitute cartoons? Everyone don't watch animations, just prostitute cartoons for nothing, and make Uncle Meng cry to death!"

"Great idea, good idea!"

The most complained about is undoubtedly the single-episode charging system adopted by the animation of "YOYO Niang".

It's understandable that you have to charge a separate fee for watching a movie, but you also have to pay separately to watch an anime?

So what's the use of this video membership?

The fee for a single episode of animation is really helpless. If a better way could be adopted, Meng Lang would definitely not be so frustrated.

The problem is that the comics are released for free, and the investment is huge but you can't earn a penny, if the animation doesn't make any money, Uncle Meng will really have to go to the street to ask for food!

Besides, he doesn't charge much!

As mentioned earlier, there are only 10 episodes in the first season of "YOYO Niang", and according to this charging standard, you can watch a season of animation for 10 yuan.

It's just 10 bucks!

prostituted Uncle Meng's cartoons for nothing, isn't it enough to charge him 10 yuan?

YOYO Niang comics are popular online, but the "animation" that charges for a single episode is not very popular.

If it's free to watch, or "members watch it for free", I believe it won't be so deserted. But Pengda's frenzied single episode payment directly persuaded many people to quit.

What kind of animation to watch?

Is it bad to go straight to manga?

The netizen who was persuaded to quit by the animation fee prostituted the "comic" in vain with peace of mind and decided to take revenge on Uncle Meng.

If you are unscrupulous, I will prostitute for nothing!

Are you angry, Uncle Meng?

The higher the popularity of the comics, the lower the popularity of the animation, the happier everyone's hearts are, this is released for free, Uncle Meng!

But well......

"What a naivety!"

Meng Lang, who was filming in the Western Regions, also saw the provocative remarks made by various "white prostitute parties" on the Internet, and he just wanted to say one word about it.

"Ride a donkey and read the record book, let's see!"

Ps: Ask for a monthly pass!
