In Xu Rui's view, the plot of "Iron Magician" is similar to the animation of Brother Douding and Brother Iron Skin on Earth, which are all youth-oriented works.

The first episode uses contrasts, the first half is a harmonious life of people in a village, but the second half reveals the truth, it turns out that this village has a man-eating monster, and the villagers need to vote for sacrifices to the monster in order to survive, the protagonists find out the truth and kill the monster, but the villagers become very frightened, as if they have lost the purpose of life.

"Compared to "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student", this story is not very easy, if the martial arts director does not grasp it well, this animation will be very controversial."

Xu Rui finished reading it, and the crabs on the table were also peeled by Yi Qianqian, she has been in Ningjiang for several years, and her skills in eating crabs are also extremely superb, and she can dismantle the hairy crabs cleanly without getting her hands dirty, leaving no residual meat.

"There is no problem in terms of production, and the team of martial arts directors is indeed the strongest team in the Chinese industry at present."

Yi Qianqian wiped his hands with a tissue and said lightly.

"As long as this kind of team production level is normal, it is almost an excellent animation, but it seems that the martial arts director is not satisfied with this, and wants to make a breakthrough in content."

"That's right, even if you completely ignore the plot, the flow design and painting performance of that battle, the combination of hand-drawn and 3D, including the brawl in the opening song, are all excellent performances, and with the plot, the expressiveness is even more amazing, I didn't expect that just in October, there would be such a strong animation."

Xu Rui saw that Yi Qianqian finished eating, so he also began to clean up the table.

People in the animation industry watch animation, and the average audience watches animation, in fact, they will applaud interesting animation, and uninteresting animation is not interested, at most they can understand the difficulties behind some paintings, and these shots may only be a few seconds.

"I'll go back and play the game for a while and go to sleep."

Yi Qianqian saw Xu Rui walking into the kitchen with a plate and mentioned it.

"Okay, Sister Qianqian, you go to bed early."

Xu Rui answered, turned on the faucet, and then heard the sound of the door closing.

After washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen and dining table, he turned off the outside light and went back to his room to lie down.

The October night was still a little hot, Xu Rui closed the screen window, opened the window, and could feel a little hot wind.

He wanted to go to sleep directly, but he couldn't sleep too much, so he took out his phone again and looked through it at random.

There are already a lot of posts about October animation in the animation section of the A2 forum, and several of them are highlighted, and the most replies are naturally the just-finished "Iron Magician".

[yaoniming300]: Perfect production, in-depth plot, this year's annual animation has already had results in advance, and the people behind can disperse.

[Heavenly Dog]: Showing off the black and deep animation,Martial arts are really getting more and more inflated.,I thought he would bring some good works.,I didn't expect it to be worse than the previous one.,It's so disappointing to me!

[Raid Captain]: Those upstairs who say the animation is not good, can you do it?

[He Shu]: I'm laughing to death, do I have to know how to refrigerate the refrigerator when I evaluate the performance of the refrigerator? I think the Iron Mage Warlock is okay in the early stage, but it will definitely collapse in the later stage!!

[FCKKKK]: I think this animation is very good, there are foreshadowing and reversal, as well as wonderful battles and complex settings, you who don't think it's good, the pen is for you, you draw it.

[Word Pudding]: I was gnawing on the duck's neck when the animation was broadcast, and I couldn't watch it halfway through, and I think this animation is estimated to lose money.

[Viewer 123]: I blindly guess that the average sales volume is about 8,000 to 10,000, and it should not be difficult to dominate the current season, but it is still a little bit less interesting to become the annual sales hegemony.

When Xu Rui saw these comments, he remembered the sales volume, so he clicked on Taotao, the country's largest online shopping website, to see the appointment situation.

In just over an hour of effort, "Steel Magician" has already ranked first on the reservation list, far more than other animations, according to the exchange of reservations and actual sales, Xu Rui visually measured that the average sales volume of "Steel Magician" should be more than 10,000, and he felt that the average sales of the disc volume of this work should be 20,000.

According to the previous practice of the industry,A thirteen-episode animation,The average volume can have two thousand five is not a loss.,This is the guaranteed line of animation.,Because this number is the average volume sales of the previous animation "School Sister Rushing Forward", so it is also called "School Sister Line".

And the average volume can have 5,000, which means that its sales have reached the top 20% of the annual animation sales, and there is hope for the production of a second season, so it is also called the "second phase line".

10,000 sales are bestsellers, not only is it easier to produce a second season, but it will also be continuously promoted on various channels, and at this level, it is actually a very successful anime.

Judging from these indicators, there is no doubt that Steel Magician should be a successful commercial animation, and the ability of martial arts directors to produce commercial works is vividly reflected in the sales.

Sales do not represent quality, not only because the work itself has the difference between the public and the niche, including the price of the CD, the goods that come with it, and even the schedule has an impact on the sales, so people in the industry generally do not judge success or failure simply by sales.

What's more, with the popularization of online broadcasting, the broadcast rights of video websites are also an income in themselves, and the sales of CDs are just a reference.

But for some viewers, sales are the most conspicuous indicator, and they will call the highest-selling works "hegemony", while some works with excellent originals, or works with very low sales that are famous by the production team, are called "violent deaths".

As a result, sales have become a favorite topic of discussion among the audience, and they enjoy it every quarter.

"The best-selling this year should be the previous "Ningjiang Zombies 2", with an average sales of 12,000 in three volumes, so it seems that "Iron Magician" should surpass it."

Xu Rui recalled the information he had seen before and muttered to himself.

The A2 forum soon had a sales prediction post again, and it seemed that because a few people were arguing in the building, the moderator simply made a prediction post and used forum points as a bet to bet.

Xu Rui took a brief look, there were very few votes below 2,000, more votes were concentrated between 2,000 and 5,000, and between 5,000 and 10,000, and the number of votes from 10,000 to 20,000 was almost the same, I don't know if it was the moderator's bad taste, and the option of 30,000 was also set, but it was too outrageous, and no one bet.

Xu Rui thought about it, logged in to his account, and also invested some points to be entertained.

He bet on the 30,000 option.
