Shortly after New Year's Day, the first snow of winter fell in Jiangchuan, and the temperature plummeted below zero.

This scene is rare.

Because Egawa hasn't been so cold for a long time, even in the winter of previous years, the temperature is around 2-8 degrees, and it is rare to drop below zero.

This is not only the case in Jiangchuan, but the temperature in all parts of the country has dropped compared to previous years this year, and some areas have even encountered severe cold weather that has not been seen in decades.

As soon as the weather is cold, everyone's desire to go out is greatly reduced, and they prefer to stay at home, especially in the bed to watch dramas with a phablet.

This is undoubtedly a happy event for the popular "Divine Soldier" animation!

The animation is almost over.

Nangong Wentian took his sister Wenya and a group of friends to leave the Jade Dragon Country for the Jade Island Country, experiencing a series of events on the way and defeating the demon soldiers and demon generals under the command of the Xuantian Evil Emperor......

In fact, the plot of the Jade Island Country, on the whole, is a copy of the Jade Dragon Country, and there is almost nothing new.

This is not the same as "Ultra Beast Arm".

The first half and the second half of the Super Beast Armament are completely two different works, the plot development is unexpected, and the various reversals make the audience addicted.

Although the young general is also divided into two parts, the upper part and the lower part are relatively similar, and there are almost no surprises or reversals in the plot.

This is also the part that is complained about the most by the audience and has the most negative reviews......

"No way!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said: "I guessed before the broadcast that the plot may become the most fatal shortcoming of "Divine Soldier". ”

Throughout the second half of the animation, except for the Shadow Asking the Sky and the Shadow Sky Crystal Beast, which are half a surprise, the other plots are simply a repetition of the first half.

The audience can understand if they have opinions.

After all, with a jewel like "Super Beast Armament" in front, everyone generally can't accept such a mediocre plot arrangement.

But then again.

The Divine Soldier is not the kind of animation that focuses on the plot.,The core selling point is the "Divine Soldier" and the character design.,With this back, it doesn't matter if the plot is mediocre.。

The kids loved it anyway!

……

How much do children like the Soldier Boy anime?

In addition to ratings and broadcasts, the most intuitive evidence may be the sales of peripheral toys related to the animation "Divine Soldier".

Taking the core single product of Wanbao Toys, PVC plastic, and the Tianjing Sword that can emit light and sound as an example, 4.7 million pieces have been sold in the more than half a month since the animation was broadcast.

It's horrible!

You must know that this plastic Celestial Crystal Sword has almost no technical content, it is purely a circuit board inside the plastic shell, and it will glow when you press it, and if you press it again, it will emit "Celestial Crystal Beast, transform into a divine soldier, Celestial Crystal!" Justice/Hope/Friendship Power".

It's such a simple and crude thing, but it took advantage of the explosion of the animation of "Divine Soldier" to sell millions of copies in just half a month, which shows how popular it is.

As for the sticker posters of "Divine Soldiers", and even the book cover stationery series, it will sell even more.

Interestingly......

In this series of "Divine Soldiers" peripheral derivatives, Ximen Xiao is definitely the most injured person, because almost no children buy his derivatives.

The image is too ugly!

If Ah Xiao could be as handsome as Nangong Wentian, it is estimated that he would not be disliked by the children, but the image he showed in the animation is indeed a bit difficult to explain.

Kids don't like Ah Hyo?

This is impossible, as a more humorous and funny pistachio in the protagonist group, responsible for regulating the atmosphere of the active team, the popularity of the character of Ah Xiao is still quite good.

But if you like his character, it doesn't mean you have to buy his peripheral derivatives!

This is the same reason that after "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" became popular, although Warm Goat had a good popularity and fan base, derivatives could not be sold.

It's nothing just to watch the animation.

But when you go to buy toys, stickers, posters, vertical paintings, and other peripherals, will you put the more handsome and eye-catching Nangong Wentian to buy it, and go to buy Ximen Xiao?

I'm afraid no one would do that!

That's not to say that everyone prefers handsome guys and pretty women more than harlequins. The main thing is to spend the same amount of money, why not buy a character merchandise with a higher appearance?

It's not just Ximen Xiao.

In fact, in many animation works, it is difficult to sell Harlequin's derivative peripherals, and few manufacturers are willing to sell Harlequin peripherals.

Animation may not have a tendency, but there is definitely "appearance discrimination" in peripheral derivatives!

This has to be named Warm Sheep.

is also a lamb in Sheep Village, and he is also the squad leader, the image and character design are very good in all aspects, and he is also a good old man in the plot, and there are no more or no scenes......

Why can the beautiful sheep and the boiling sheep have so many peripherals, but the periphery of the warm sheep can be counted on one hand?

It's not because, in terms of animation image alone, she is not as good-looking as Mei Yang Yang and Boiling Yang Yang!

Ximen Xiao and Warm Sheep are both victims of "appearance discrimination" of anime characters.

But from an animation perspective, is there anything wrong with these two characters? No! Whether it is Ximen Xiao or Nuan Yangyang, the characters are very likable.

But the surrounding area can't be sold......

Gu Miao himself is very sorry for this strange phenomenon, because in his opinion, if he really likes an anime character, then he shouldn't mind the character's appearance.

Those fans who say that they like Ximen Xiao and warm sheep and sheep, but choose other characters when buying peripherals, are not iron fans in the final analysis.

Harlequin is not easy!

Similar to Ximen Xiao and Warm Sheep and Sheep, they suffer losses in the image, believe it or not, give them an animated image, and it will be different immediately?

Here's an example!

On the premise that the background of the character remains the same, let Nangong Wentian and Ximen Xiao swap their role images, and let Mei Yang Yang and Nuan Yang Yang exchange their role images, do you dare to think what kind of scene it is?

"No matter whether the children like it or not, how ugly the sales data is, characters like Ximen Xiao and Nuan Yangyang derive peripherals, they still have to be released, and they can't be discriminated against in appearance."

Gu Miao expressed his opinion: "For the same batch of products, you can produce a little less, but you can't not do it." ”

It's a matter of attitude.

How? Other characters have a peripheral, but Ximen Xiao and Nuan Yang Yang don't, isn't this discrimination?

If it's really hard to sell, then produce less, but you must not just stop producing because it is not easy to sell.

After all......

If there are really fans of characters like Nuan Yangyang and Ximen Xiao, they will be very disappointed when they take the money but can't buy the derivative peripherals of their beloved characters.

Gu Miao herself likes characters like Ah Xiao and Nuan Yangyang, so she naturally does not allow Wanbao to have this kind of discrimination.
