Chapter 177: Talking
Three days later, this week's ratings data for each work in the animation industry were released.
It's the same as everyone expected.
Madoka Magical Girl is the first of the week. Mechanical City second. Dragon Treasure No. 3. Throb. fourth
If the ratings of the seventh episode of Madoka Magical Girl are only the third in the summer animation market, they haven't been able to make any big waves.
That week, the magical girl Madoka reached the top of the ratings, and it didn't need much publicity, and most anime fans in Dragon Country were very sensitive to these data.
After all, everyone is very busy.,It's not interesting to go to a bunch of popular animations to find food and grass.,A work that can be the most popular in the quarterly animation market.,It must be a powerful work.。
At this time, I will go back and look at the remarks made by the producers of Chu Yi, Li Jun, Zhou Ke and other three animations a few days ago.
Now let's reflect.
It's so sour.
Especially the animation fans of the magical girl Madoka, at this time, the group mocking mode was launched on the whole network.
They scolded the "warrior of love" is their business, why are these three green onions yin and yang weird magical girl Madoka?
Everyone has seen these animations, and the animations they make are comparable to a toe of the magic circle?
"Hahaha,I said these animations are not good a long time ago.,The original work is actually pretty good.,What kind of garbage has it changed into after animation.,It's okay now.,It's a shame to be surpassed by a magical girl-themed animation.。
"The investment in each of the three animations is more than four times that of Madoka Magical Girl, and she lost so quickly?"
"If the amount of investment must be proportional to popularity, then the animation industry of Dragon Kingdom has long been a bunch of big investment animations."
"One thing to say, the animation production level of the magical girl Madoka is indeed different from these three works, but the touch of the plot is too different."
"After watching the third episode of Madoka Magi, I thought it was a masterpiece, but I was wrong because it had a sixth episode. By the time I finished watching the sixth episode, I thought it was the best of the best. Then the seventh episode came out and went all the way to the eighth episode. Every episode of this anime challenges my evaluation of it. I'm going to put my words here.,The next four episodes of this animation can maintain the quality and not end badly.,It's bound to be a masterpiece in the animation industry.。 ”
"God's work? That's an exaggeration. It's only the eighth episode. ”
"I'm not bragging, don't look at the old thief who is spraying "Warrior of Love" now, wait a few months for you to watch it, and then there will be absolutely a group of people in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry who are crazy to tout it. ”
"I see it that way, too. The word-of-mouth and fermentation of this work will take a little time. After a few months, the market's evaluation of this animation will be more fair and objective. And when the time comes. Chu Yi, Li Jun, and Zhou Ke will be a big joke in the industry if you look at the sour words of the three people. ”
The senior management of the three major animation companies in Dragon Kingdom saw the cynicism of the industry now, and now their heads are full of fire.
Of course, businessmen are heavily profitable, and it doesn't matter if they lose a little in reputation.
But the point is that the three companies have spent more than 60 or 70 million yuan to produce these animations this quarter, plus the publicity costs, this investment is also among the top in the animation industry.
Do you want to say that you can bear to lose to the works of the other two companies that are also the three major animations, "Xia Tang" animation company?
What the hell is this company?
It rose like this, and then stole a piece of the cake in the animation market this quarter.
Don't think about it, when the summer is over and several animations start to compete in the surrounding market, their works will be suppressed.
If TV stations from overseas countries come to buy animation broadcast rights, the price of the three companies will be at least 10% to 20% lower
Although business competition is based on their own abilities, many people in the three major companies still have a grudge against "Xia Tang".
peers are enemies, not to mention that the screenwriter of this company also publicly spoke ridicule, the problem is that his ridicule has come true.
But now I can only hide these emotions in my heart, and next time if I have the opportunity.
They will definitely teach the company "Xia Tang" a lesson.
It's mid-May.
In the entire Dragon Country Light Market, Xia Yan's popularity is slowly decreasing.
After all, he hasn't serialized his works for almost half a year, and readers in the Dragon Kingdom won't spend too much time on him.
Bai Xuan contacted him by phone three times a week, very fixed, for fear that Xia Yan would be abducted by people from other book clubs, even if Xia Yan repeatedly told her that even if she didn't rush to the face of the Liuli Book Society, she would see that her face would stay in the Liuli Book Club steadily, but she was still a little uneasy.
After all, after Xia Yan won the sixth place in the Emperor Star Award, Xia Yan is a well-deserved first person among the light writers under the age of twenty in the Dragon Kingdom.
There are so many people staring at him that if Xia Yan doesn't serialize new ones for a day, her doubts will not be dispelled.
However, now Xia Yan has no suitable adaptation into light works for the time being, and he can only continue to play Tai Chi with Bai Xuan.
Now, the focus of his attention, in addition to the animation of the magical girl Madoka, is the initial D.
May 19th.
Mo Ran finally finished drawing all the comics of the first three words of the initial D.
The thick pile of drawing paper is her hard work for the past month or so.
There is no comic assistant, and every stroke is sketched by herself.
And the truth is that as she said, after the initial preparation was completed, her caricature drawing was fast and good.
Even if Xia Yan knew the plot of the initial D, she was still unconsciously immersed in it when she read the comics she drawn.
Since the first three episodes of the comic have been drawn, the next step is the issue of submission.
Of course, it is normal to mail or submit the manuscript in person.
However, Xia Yan thought for a while and gave up this practice.
Because it was too much luck to do that, I happened to meet an incompetent comic editor, and that result. It can well be imagined.
So.
In a café somewhere.
Wearing a red long dress, Bai Xuan, who was dressed beautifully and intellectually, looked at Xia Yan and Mo Ran with a confused expression.
"So you said that you don't have time to create light works, but you have time to create comic works? And I want to help you introduce one or two reliable comic editors to submit through my relationship? Bai Xuan's voice was a little angry.
Xia Yan had long known that she might have this kind of reaction, and hurriedly said that the initial D was not suitable for adaptation due to the special reasons of racing works, and Bai Xuan's face eased slightly.
"Racing comics?" Bai Xuan hesitated for a moment.
Xia Yan is looking for her, which can be regarded as the right person.
The three branches of light, manga, and animation are intertwined.
Just like the three most powerful light book clubs in the Dragon Kingdom, the four major comic clubs and the three major animation companies have frequent exchanges of interests with each other, and even cross-shareholding with each other.
As a light agent, Bai Xuan not only knows people in the light world, but also knows a lot of people in the comic and animation industries.
But here's the thing
Why did she help Xia Yan with this?
Her correspondence with Xia Yan is just in the light field, helping Xia Yan introduce cooperation partners in the comic industry, which is really funny.
"Why should I help you?" Bai Xuan asked very bluntly.
"Well, that would make me owe you a favor." Xia Yan pondered for a while and said.
"Favors?" Bai Xuan looked at Xia Yan.
"Having worked with me for so long, you know my character. Haven't you always thought that if I don't sign a long-term contract with the book club, there is a possibility that I will suddenly change jobs and run away one day? Xia Yan said.
"But as long as you do me this favor, I can promise you that under the same conditions, no matter how the people from the Starry Sky and Qingze Library come to poach me and call to harass me, as long as I am in the realm for a day, I will definitely not backstab you Bai Xuan."
If the same conditions are opened, in fact, the two light book societies of Qingze Library and Starry Sky are stronger than Liuli Book Society.
After all, among the three major book clubs, Starry Sky is the first, Qingze is the second, and Liuli is the third.
After Xia Yan said this, Bai Xuan's expression was immediately moved.
That's what she's been afraid of.
If the Xingkong and Qingze families give very generous recruitment conditions, then it is understandable for Xia Yan to run away, people run to high places, light writers are just a profession, not a saint.
However, often the industry is actually very consistent in the value judgment of a talent. In the eyes of the three major book clubs, Xia Yan's value is also comparable, and in order to prevent vicious competition among peers, there is a situation where light authors ride donkeys to find horses and sit on the ground to raise prices.
In case one day Starry Sky and Qingze Library figure it out, in order to dig out Xia Yan, they also agree to the condition that he will not sign a long-term contract, and promise him to give Xia Yan support resources as a related household after he runs away. The possibility of Xia Yan running away will be greatly increased.
After all, the three major book clubs give light writers the manuscript fee for their works, and the proportion of the single book is almost exactly the same, the difference is only in the internal management, the Liuli Book Club is more fair, and the other two have serious nepotism, and if you want to get out of the way, you have to find a backer in the book club and join the faction.
Don't think that home is just boring, there are so many talented families, why would others praise you? People are sophisticated in the industry, especially Xingkong and Qingze, which are very particular.
Xia Yan's promise can be said to dispel all her Bai Xuan's doubts.
Under the same conditions, Xia Yan will only stay under her Bai Xuan to create light.
How heavy this promise is depends on how deep Xia Yan's understanding of the words "faithfulness" and "human affection" is.
Bai Xuan thought for three minutes, and the whole scene was embarrassed. Mo Ran, in particular, sat there all the time and didn't say a word.
Bai Xuan raised her head, she was willing to gamble, Xia Yan was a trustworthy person.
"I understand, I will do my best to help you find the best comic serialization platform and editor I can contact, but whether your work can pass the assessment of others depends on the strength of your work. I'll get back to you in two weeks. That's right. I know the rules, I can't read your comics, but I want to ask more, your work... What is your name? Bai Xuan's voice was three points louder.
When Xia Yan heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said.
"I'll play a dumb riddle. Sister Bai Xuan, don't take the initiative to learn about the information of this work. ”
"If you really find a good comic platform for it to serialize, it won't be a few months, Sister Bai Xuan, you will know what its name is."
"What do you mean?" Bai Xuan asked curiously.
"It will definitely be on fire in the Dragon Country to the extent that everyone in the two-dimensional industry knows about it." Xia Yan said with a smile.
“.” Bai Xuan.
So confident?
"I hope that the next one you create can also have this kind of confidence, instead of telling me that you have the confidence to create a comic work that is a fire in the Dragon Kingdom." Bai Xuan's voice was cold, but her slightly puffed cheeks, it could be seen that she was a little stimulated and slightly angry.
It doesn't really matter whether the teenager's confident words can be realized, but what matters.
Xia Yanke had never shown such strong confidence in herself in front of her.
Ultimately?
Are you a cartoonist or a lighthearted manga artist? Don't confuse the priorities!
"Wait for next time, and when the time comes, I will also create a light film of the same level to repay Sister Bai Xuan's support." Xia Yan smiled, but his tone was also serious.
"It definitely makes Sister Bai Xuan feel that it was worth the money to cooperate with me at the beginning."
When Bai Xuan heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile, and after taking a look at Xia Yan's comic partner Mo Ran, she didn't say anything, and left the café elegantly with her black bag.
After Bai Xuan left, Mo Ran, who had been silent on the side, finally dared to gasp for breath.
The topic is too high-end, and she, a little fish in the two-dimensional world, can't interject.
"Is this the world you live in every day, junior brother?" Mo Ran's pupils flickered.
"Engage in these insider transactions with industry bigwigs every day."
"What industry boss? Sister Bai Xuan, she is just an ordinary home agent. Xia Yan said with a smile.
"And she's a good person, she just doesn't like to laugh."
Ordinary brokers.
People are nice.
Mo Ran was silent.
She also basically knows something about the situation in the Light Realm of the Dragon Kingdom.
This is Bai Xuan, the famous agent of Liuli Books, many famous light writers want to hug her thighs for a serialization opportunity, and it takes a lot of effort to invite her to a meal.
After all, let alone "glass", even if it is a "glass-colored" serialization opportunity, the income to the creator may be tens of millions.
The net profit of most private companies in the Dragon Kingdom is higher than that of most private companies in the Dragon Country, and the serialization opportunities of this kind of journal are jointly controlled by these agents and book editors.
In Xia Yan's eyes, is she just an ordinary agent?
"Okay, let's wait a week or two." Xia Yan said.
Although I don't know what kind of comic serialization platform Bai Xuan will find for him, Xia Yan knows it very well.
The level of practitioners in the comics industry that she can access is definitely much higher than that that of Xia Yan who doesn't say hello and goes to the door to submit comics.
