Chapter 104. The illusion animation falls off the altar
According to incomplete statistics, within an hour after the launch of "Madoka Magical Girl", more than 200,000 users watched the anime, and the current number of paid members of Hatsune Danmaku Video Network is close to 300,000.
This means that more than seventy percent of users watched "Madoka Magical Girl" for the first time, which shows the viscosity of website users on the one hand, and of course reflects the relative barrenness of the content of Hatsune Video Network.
The October holiday ended quickly, and people who had traveled out returned one after another, and the discussion about "Madoka Magi" gradually became hot.
In the anime area of the A2 forum, in the special building of "Madoka Magical Girl", there are already ten pages of replies.
[yaoniming3oo]: Exquisite painting and delicate performance, characteristic music and bold battle scenes, but the plot is a little routine, to be honest, I think the advantages of this animation if you put it in another combat animation, there is no problem with the impact of the annual animation, however, the barren and old-fashioned plot dragged it down, but it's a pity.
[Bus No. 11]: I watched the first episode without any emotional fluctuations throughout the whole process, although the painting is good, but the plot is really hard to describe, what age is there such an old-fashioned plot?
[Rumors]: I have long said that now is not the era of magical girls, and the end of going against the trend is to hit the street.
[Golden Age Goose]: I compared the data of the October animation, for the sake of fairness, the data selected are all 24 hours after the broadcast, "Wolf and Cat" has 3.2 million hits, "My Hero Family 2" has 1.9 million hits, "Qingqiu Friends Book 2" has 1.8 million hits, and "Madoka Magica", the number of hits in 24 hours is only 800,000, less than 1 million, speaking with data, I don't think this animation is an excellent work in October.
Clover under the Rain: No, the number of cross-site hits can be compared like this? Why don't you say that "The Wolf and the Cat" got a site-wide pop-up window on the Tomato Video Network, which has millions of registered users, while "Madoka Magical Girl" was only broadcast exclusively on the Hatsune Video Network, which has just been established for less than a month.
[Rain and Fog in the Wind]: Although I like "Soul Eater: Zero" and "Unnatural Death" very much, I am still a little disappointed by the quality of the finished product of "Madoka Magical Girl", maybe my impression of Phantom Electric has always been wrong, and Xu Rui is not a genius director.
[Jade op7954]: Although I haven't seen this animation yet, I know this is a clichΓ© magical girl animation when I see your discussion, thanks to Minesweeper, don't waste time watching it.
[Starlight 321]: I think that Xiao Yan is too pretending to be forced, with a villain look, I don't understand why the screenwriter wants to add such a disgusting character to this kind of relaxed and happy animation, I hope she will leave the scene as soon as possible.
Overall, the reviews are relatively negative, and although there are superb paintings and delicate performances, the first episode of "Madoka Magical Girl" still lacks a bit of heat for viewers who have long been experienced.
Chafan.com, a film and television work rating website under Tomato Video Network, has a score of 9.2 for the "Wolf and the Cat" episode directed by Wu Yi, while the episode score of "Madoka Magical Girl" is only 7.5, as a comparison, the score of "Soul Eater: Zero" is 8.5, and the score of "Unnatural Death" is 9.3.
Therefore, a voice gradually appeared on the Internet, that is, Xu Rui fell from the altar and was no longer able to compete for the position of the annual animation.
Xu Rui didn't know how many elements of the water army were there, and he didn't care.
On October 10, after the second episode of "The Wolf and the Cat" aired, Electro Animation welcomed a visitor.
Wu Yi wore cave shoes, T-shirt and jeans, and looked like a middle-aged uncle who came out for a walk and walked his dog, and he came downstairs to the headquarters of Phantom Animation.
After Xu Rui learned the news, he quickly packed up the work at hand and invited Wuyi upstairs.
The newcomers of the original painting group all looked at the strongest director of the new generation with some curiosity, and Wu Yi looked around and said casually.
"I've invited you to dinner as agreed, are you free now?"
Xu Rui thought for a moment and nodded in reply.
"Of course, let's go eat outside."
He got into Wuyi's car, which was a civilian brand, cheap and practical.
"What do you want to eat? I used to go to a teppanyaki buffet before, which tasted good, or steak Western food? β
Wu Yi asked, as if he was discussing with an old friend who had been with him for many years.
"Don't bother with this, I know a good place."
Xu Rui thought about it and immediately pointed the way.
Ten minutes later, Wuyi's car stopped in the parking lot near Ningjiang University, and the two walked to the fried shop in the back street of the school.
β...... Not bad. β
Wu Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Rui to be so down-to-earth, he immediately sat down, looked at the menu and ordered two raw fried dumplings.
After Xu Rui said hello, he went out and bought some ordinary snacks, wraps, fruit porridge, fried skewers, and small wontons, which were no different from the college students who came here to solve lunch at this time.
The two tacitly divided the food and disassembled the disposable chopsticks.
"Well, it tastes good."
Wu Yi picked up a fried dumpling, dipped it in vinegar and put it in his mouth, and nodded again and again.
After eating for a while, Wu Yi put down his chopsticks slightly.
"I watched the first episode of Madoka Magical Girl, and it was really a superb production, and even my team needed a little time to get to this level."
I don't know if he is praising Xu Rui or praising himself, Wuyi took a bite of fruit porridge, and continued.
"However, according to the current level, "Madoka Magical Girl" is at most similar to "Soul Eater: Zero", I don't think Xu Rui, who can make those animations, will be only a person of this level, do you still have reservations?"
Hearing Wuyi's inquiry, Xu Rui smiled.
"I don't like spoilers."
Xu Rui's words made Wu Yi notice his gaffe, in this case, it is always not appropriate to ask the director about the follow-up plot, but the current state of "Madoka Magical Girl" is really not optimistic.
"Xu Rui, what directors do you think can be regarded as famous in the current industry?"
"Huh?"
Xu Rui didn't understand a little, but he still thought for a moment to answer.
"Director Li Xiuming has won the Animation of the Year Award three times, and he is a famous artist."
"Li Xiuming hasn't had a new work for ten years, if I go back to ten years ago, let alone three annual animations, even ten."
Wu Yi said with a light smile.
"Director Sven of Neverland? Each of his animated films has received extremely high box office. β
Xu Rui said again.
"Relying on the capital behind it, throwing money to do the whole CG women and children to animation, Shi Swen's position can be successful if he changes it to my grandmother."
"How about Tang Ming, who loves craftsmanship, he is experienced, and the original "My Hero Family" has achieved remarkable results."
"This season of "My Hero Family" will definitely collapse, and the combat effectiveness and setting are no longer something that he Tang Ming can control."
"Shi Yang of the mushroom picture? He can be regarded as having won the annual animation award, and the quality of his works is relatively stable. β
"Shi Yang is just a fake author who can only copy the storyboard according to the original, if he is also a famous artist, then the industry is really going to end."
"That ......"
Xu Rui shrugged, he had counted the directors who could be called good, but all of them were refuted by Wu Yi.
Seeing Xu Rui's slightly confused appearance, Wu Yi smiled, he pointed at Xu Rui, and then pointed at himself.
"Nowadays, the industry is a famous director, probably you and I can be counted."
