Chapter 211: Brewing

Sugar Man Pictures can be regarded as an upper-medium company in the Dragon Country, active in the film and television, TV series, and animation industries.

I have a lot of business, but I am not really proficient in any of them.

At the beginning, Xia Yan saw that this was the face of Tang Yin's father's company, and sold the copyright to go to the moon to Sugar Man.

But in fact, Xia Yan doesn't know much about this company.

But those are not important, after meeting and having dinner with the main creative team of the animated movie, Xia Yan also began to cooperate with the other party in late September to promote the movie "To the Moon".

Animation,Light field,Now it's all affected by the magical girl Madoka.,The forum is full of news about this work.,The situation may not get better in more than a month.。

And the film industry was not so affected by the magical girl Madoka, so the news that the movie going to the moon was about to be released on October 3 spread quickly, and it was not covered up by the popularity of Moyuan, which attracted the attention of many fans.

The original work is the first in the selection of the new gods, and the average sales volume of this single volume has reached an astonishing 7.8 million copies after more than a year of release, and the reader rating of this one on the Jiuxiao Forum has reached a terrifying 9.7 points of praise, and on the major ticket-buying apps, millions of people have expressed their expectations for the movie before its release.

Judging from various circumstances, this movie is definitely a work worth paying attention to among the recently released movies.

Moreover, the promotional page of the movie is directly marked with the slogan of the famous artist of the Dragon Country, the cartoonist "Yuanqing", which makes many people's memories suddenly associated.

Many people in the Dragon Kingdom may have seen Xia Yan's works, but they are not interested in Xia Yan as a creator.

"Yuanqing? Is it the comic book author of that initial D? ”

"It seems that the author of the parasitic beast is also Yuanqing!"

"That's right, by the way, the animation screenwriter who hasn't heard of the name of the flower is also this guy. If there are people who have seen his animation works, those who are confident in him can go to the theater to support them. ”

"Damn, I've read all these works, but I haven't paid attention to the author's name."

"Normal, many works are famous on the Internet, such as the two works of Going to the Moon and Unheard of Flower Names, when it comes to tear-jerking love two-dimensional works, these two works will definitely be mentioned, but not many people want to know about the creators."

"Isn't this Yuan Qing drawing comics? I chase his initial D every week, why does he still write it, and become an animation screenwriter? ”

"Yes, this person is only nineteen years old, how can he create so many works and make achievements in so many industries?"

"Because they're geniuses."

"Nineteen? You told me that the author of the initial D, Yuan Qing, is only nineteen years old? ”

"No, don't you know? The photos of these two people have been given twice with the initial D serial journal "North Boat", and the genius and beautiful boy and girl cartoonist duo of Xia Yan and Mo Ran in the Dragon Kingdom, as long as you are a person who reads comics, it is impossible not to know, the bookstore is full of three-dimensional posters of the two! ”

"I don't really understand, the posters and small gifts sent from time to time in the comic journal "Beizhou" are all thrown in the locker, and I don't even look at them, I am only interested in comics, not the author."

"Hear you say so. The movie "To the Moon", which is to be released on the third day, is its screenwriter quite famous? ”

"What else do you need to say?"

"Compared to" the warrior of love? Animation,,Comics,Game industry,I only know the "warrior of love" for people who have been out of the circle recently.,Even if I don't watch animation.,I know that the latest work of the Dragon Kingdom called "Magical Girl Madoka" is very powerful.,This "Yuanqing" and "Warrior of Love" are compared.,Who is great."

Although the "Yuanqing" teacher is very powerful, compared with the "warrior of love", it still feels like . It's a little bit worse. ”

"A little? It's a lot, okay. Madoka magician's phenomenal animation has been rare for ten years and twenty years, and the "warrior of love" can be regarded as a god in the animation industry. But in Yuanqing's words, the initial D is only at the top of "North Boat", and "Parasitic Beast" in the industry is only the sixth in "Liuli". Judging from the results, whether it is the comics industry or the light industry, Yuanqing can only be said to be the top in the industry, and it has not yet reached the point of overwhelming the others. ”

"But I just think Mr. Yuanqing's initial D is very beautiful. Although the magical girl Madoka is also good-looking, she doesn't think it's more than the initial D. ”

"I also feel this way, the initial D gives me more attraction than the magic circle."

"What kind of garbage is "Yuanqing"? Also worthy of being compared to the "warrior of love" teacher? ”

At first, it was just a normal discussion of Xia Yan's pen name "Yuanqing" content post.

But when the mysterious animation screenwriter "Warrior of Love" was introduced into the comment area, soon, when I went to the comment area of the moon animation movie, it changed its taste.

After all, in the two-dimensional industry, the fresh faces that have emerged in the past year, in addition to the warriors of love, are the most eye-catching achievements of Yuanqing.

In fact, these two people have often been compared by others recently, and similar topics can be regarded as provoking the sensitive points of fans on both sides.

However, this is only the behavior of some fans, and most people are still quite sensible, just eating melons and watching dramas.

However, this can be regarded as adding to a certain extent the fame before the release of the moon.

October 3 is the day of the end of the civil war in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, and on this date and weekend, the Dragon Kingdom has five consecutive days off.

It is a relatively good movie schedule in the Dragon Kingdom film industry in a year, otherwise this movie would not have been released at this point in time.

Although the original work has a high fan base, the other five works competing in the same period are basically big-budget movies with big directors and big stars in the Dragon Kingdom.

So in the days that followed

Although Xia Yan also cooperated with Sugar Man Pictures to promote the "To the Moon" movie, in fact, the outside world is not particularly optimistic about the performance of "To the Moon" in this period.

Of course, it's not to belittle, the media in the film industry just treats going to the moon as a general-grade movie, and it's an animated version.

With the production cost of 30 million yuan to the moon plus more than 10 million publicity costs and the pre-release popularity of the movie, the media have given pre-screening predictions that the total box office of this movie will not exceed 130 million.

What is a movie? It's the end of the entertainment industry.,It's a little bit popular.,Comics,Games,Animation,Even classical mythological works will move in this direction.,The original work to the moon is really popular.,But compared to other movies,People also have popular actors.,Excellent screenwriters.,Directors joined.,The investment is also higher than going to the moon.。

This expectation from the outside world is also normal.

And Xia Yan, when he entered the propaganda group to go to the moon, probably experienced this atmosphere.

Including the animation director "Tian Fu" of "To the Moon", the box office expectation for this movie is that it can exceed 100 million to be qualified, and breaking through 150 million is called an excellent pre-release box office goal.

After all, animated films don't have to rely on box office profits, and the income from the surrounding market is also promising.

Just when Xia Yan left the magic capital and helped go to the moon to carry out roadshow publicity in several first-tier cities in the Dragon Kingdom.

September 27

The magic capital area, inside the Liuli Book Society.

The fourth voting meeting in the book club ended.

Every serial seat in the journal "Liuli" is extremely important, not to mention that Xia Yan's new work "Sword Art Online" is ready to skip the serialization meeting competition, but the internal editorial department of the dormitory has set this serialization quota.

In this case, the internal review process of the book club is naturally more stringent.

However, with Xia Yan's current reputation in the industry.

The sixth place in the Dixing Award last year, the two identities of the most popular cartoonist in Beizhou Comics are superimposed.

Even within the book club, even the light family with many cooperation in the "Liuli Book Society" was dissatisfied with Xia Yan's behavior of parachuting in to snatch the serial quota, they could only endure it.

Xia Yan himself is so popular in the industry, and the plot of the first few chapters of Sword Art Online that he took out is also so attractive, this result can only be said that opponents can't find fault with it.

And Bai Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief on this day.

After learning of the decision of the meeting, he immediately called Xia Yan to inform him of the matter.

"Did you pass?"

Listening to the news on the phone, Xia Yan had a smile on his face.

"Well, the time is also very fast, in the mid-October issue of the "Liuli" periodical, the first chapter of Sword Art Online will be published."

"So fast?" Xia Yan was stunned.

"Of course," Bai Xuan said in a deep voice.

However, Xia Yan, in fact, many editors and collaborators within the book club have been waiting for several months for this serialization opportunity. But "Sword Art Online" has been booked in this way, and in fact, many people are also hostile to you. ”

Xia Yan blinked when he heard this.

"Competition, no matter what industry it is. From your debut to the present, you haven't missed, and the reputation of the works you create, the popularity of one is stronger than the other, I still remember what you said at the beginning, you will create a film that does not lose the popularity of the initial text D. I hope you can achieve your original goal, but don't let you, don't let us. Laughed at by those who are jealous. ”

Why did the meeting take place until the fourth time to decide the serialization qualification of "Sword Art Online"?

The reason for this is that many people in the book club have opinions and there are great contradictions.

Xia Yan is indeed very powerful, but what does it matter to others? finally waited for a "glass" serial seat to be vacated, but it was taken away by Xia Yan from the sky.

Bai Xuan and those who were not convinced and secretly made bad people also fought secretly within the book club for a few days, if the popularity of Sword Art Online was not good after serialization, then these people in the book club would have to jump into the sky.

Of course, these things are her duty as an agent, and when she speaks like this, she just hints at Xia Yan that she has to cheer up and be serious in her creation.

"I see. I will end the movie promotion of going to the moon as soon as possible, and then devote myself to the creation of "Sword Art Online". Xia Yan responded.

On the other end of the phone, Bai Xuan had a smile on her face.

"It's best if you could think like that. Finally, I wish your film adaptation "To the Moon" a big hit."
