Chapter 259: Competition
The third episode of Cyberpunk Edgerunner is an over-the-top drama, a real episode about how the main character, David, transforms from a high-card academy student to a street gang member.
It is true that the Sannwistein he implanted was a relic of her mother, but the item was sold to Mann before his mother died.
That is, at the end of the second episode, David was found, but the muscular man was strong.
David implanted other people's things, and there was no way, in order not to be killed by Mann and take the prosthetic, then he could only help Mann work to pay off his debts.
And it just so happens that he is stronger than others in using prosthetics, and can even use Snwestein ten times a day without immunosuppressants. It also made him successfully favored by Mann, the boss of the underground gang organization, and became a new member of his team.
An honor student becomes a night city cyberpunk licking blood on the knife's edge, and the plot unfolds, which really makes everyone not talk about it.
In Mann's team, these vulgar, gossipy, and low-level Night City underdogs who discuss all sorts of nasty topics have a purer relationship between them.
Everyone fights side by side, completes the task of the client, or assassinates, or steals, or acts as thugs for money, anything dangerous can be accepted.
A variety of gang mates encountered along the way
Technician Pila, with huge mechanical prosthetic arms implanted in both hands, and a foul mouth, is a hilarious member of the team.
Pila's sister Rebecca, the gunman Lori, a cute girl.
Mann's girlfriend, a terrifying woman with Mann's body and eight-pack abs.
Kivi, the hacker in the team.
Falka, the bearded driver.
and Lucy, the team's alternate hacker.
The entire third episode is about the interaction between the protagonist and these people in the team, doing tasks with them, then blending into them, imitating them, and in the end, becoming them
If for the viewers of Dragon Country, what is the feeling of watching Cyberpunk Edgerunner to the third episode?
Then the first reaction of most viewers is fresh.
If you want to say that cyberpunk is just a plot of the first few episodes, it's not so good.,But this work can be said to be the mission, character, choice, and story development of the whole work.,It's very different from the previous animation of the Dragon Kingdom.ใ
So far, there hasn't been a good person, so is the protagonist a good person?
Of course not, a teenager who dropped out of school to join a club gang can be considered a good person, but this protagonist has an indescribable charm conveyed from the animation.
Although I want to be strong, I don't bully the weak, and although I will still be afraid of killing people for the first time, I can adapt to it the second time.
and Mann, the boss of the team, although rude when he appeared, he beat up the protagonist when he came up, but after accepting the protagonist, you will find out how reassuring it is to have such a boss.
Strong, fair, as long as you complete the tasks he assigned, you will never be deducted a dollar in terms of remuneration, the protagonist David has done one or two things for him, and he has earned more money than her mother who works as a police logistics department in a year.
After the third episode was broadcast, it can be said that the reputation of cyberpunk edge walkers has been completely established.
Although everyone seems to find it interesting in the first two episodes, they can't understand what the main line of the work is, but the third episode is very clear.
The whole work is a depiction of the story of the protagonist David becoming a cyberpunk and rising from the bottom of the gang.
"It's a pity.,Why doesn't this animation have a magical girl?,Cyberpunk or something.,There's really no magical girl to look forward to.ใ
"You're perverted, do you want the protagonist to become a magical girl?"
"Why not?"
"No kidding. But after watching these three episodes, I can only say that the plot of the first three episodes is much better than the rhythm of the magic circle, at least the sense of expectation, the world view and everything have been shaped. โ
"That's right, the animation rhythm of the first three episodes is really better than that of Moyuan, but the third episode of Moyuan has a big explosion of Ba Asami's death! But the first three episodes of Cyberpunk Edgerunner feel a little too average. Of course, good looks are good looks. โ
"Well, that's right, after the third episode of the magic circle, the plot is better than the first episode, and the cyberpunk edgerunner is the first episode to be good-looking, but until now, I haven't seen this anime have this potential."
"I said you, don't always compare Teacher Xia Yan's new works with the magic circle, there are a few works that can compete with the magic circle."
"I just think that the broadcast data of Cyberpunk Edge Walker is so good, and I also hope that Mr. Xia Yan's work can surpass the original! I don't want Madoka Magical Girl to be the pinnacle of his! โ
"Yes, as a creator, the proudest thing in life is to create an animation like the magical girl Madoka at the age of nineteen, but as a creator, the most tragic thing in life is to find that in the long life of a creator, I found that I was a mountain that I couldn't cross in this life at the age of nineteen."
"What you said made me a little teary-eyed, I was at the peak of my intelligence in high school, I knew astronomy, geography, and now. My son asked me to tutor his elementary school topics, and I wouldn't do it as a graduate student! Uncomfortable. โ
"Hehe, me too, I thought the world was mine in high school, and now I find that I am nothing. But this is also far away.,Anyway, I still hope that Mr. Xia Yan's work will work hard.,Strive to make an animation that doesn't lose the magic circle.ใ โ
The next day, the ratings for the third episode of Cyberpunk Edge Walker were released.
4.35%, the same as last week, the second highest rating.
However, among the animations of Dragon Country this week, the work with the highest ratings was replaced by the original sports animation of crash landing.
After all, its third episode happened to enter a small climax of the animation plot, and with the addition of the picture of the financial warrior in this episode, its ratings rose slightly, to 4.39%.
So far, in the autumn animation market of the Dragon Kingdom, the four works that everyone was unanimously optimistic about before the start of the broadcast are as expected, and the ratings after the broadcast are compared with other works of the same period.
Although the four works and two manga adaptations have the huge popularity of the fans of the original work, they have reached the third week of broadcasting, and the ratings are only the third or fourth place this week.
It's not that the quality of these two adapted animations is not good, but the early plots of the two original animations of Cyberpunk Edge Walker and Crash Landing are really good.
There is no powder picking in the original, and the ratings of the two works on the Jiuxiao Forum are 9.1 and 9.0 respectively.
On the contrary, the ratings of Red Dragon and Revolutionaries from Another World are only 8.7 and 8.8 respectively.
The original fans of popular works are a double-edged sword in themselves, they have fan filters for the original works, and your 90 percent adapted animation work may only have 85 points in their eyes, but if your adapted animation is only 80 points in quality, with the blessing of their fan psychological filter, it will drop to 70 or even 60 points in an instant.
For this situation, many people in the animation industry are talking about it.
"Red Dragon and Revolutionaries from Another World are just three axes, they are all painted against the sky in the first and second episodes, and the capital investment is not saved at all, but at the beginning of the third episode, you can feel that the picture effect is not as good, and even some pictures have a situation where the supporting characters have broken faces and the animation frame rate is not enough."
"Both animations have an investment of more than 70 million, I don't know why the third episode is like this."
"Last year, the movie "Dragon Road", which claimed to invest 200 million, Nima's actor salary was 140 million, what is the use of investing in this kind of work? โ
"I can't say that, although the third episode of these two works is a little saved, the overall quality is still online, but fans don't care about these, even if the quality of your animation drops from ninety-five to ninety, but as long as it drops, they will have a bad review, and they don't care about a bunch of garbage animations of twenty or thirty quality outside."
"But the animation of Cyberpunk Edge Walker is really interesting, although the ratings are only the second in order for two consecutive weeks, but I feel that in terms of plot, I think it is the best-looking, but it is the loss that the company's strength is weak, the publicity channels are not good, and the popularity of the work depends on the screenwriter Xia Yan."
This year's autumn file can be regarded as the strongest single-quarter animation market in Dragon Kingdom in recent years, with four animations with ratings breaking 4% in the ring together, and none of the four works has a crotch, only the difference between good quality and very good.
This also made the media scramble to report, and the producers, screenwriters, and voice actors of the four works are also frequently on camera in the media and on TV at the moment, attacking each other, and everyone is determined to win the title of the animation ratings champion this season.
After all, to evaluate the best TV animation of the year, a large part of the reference factor is to watch this thing.
Ratings,It's the embodiment of the influence of the work,This year's animation market from January to July,There is no other work that has more influence than these four,There is a high probability that there will be no works in the winter market that can counterattackใ
So.
If anyone can stand out in the animation competitiveness of this autumn file, then there is a high probability that they will be the winner of the gold award for this year's TV animation of the year.
And most importantly, last year's TV Animation of the Year award winner was Madoka Natsuya's magical girl.
If Xia Yan is allowed to win this award this year, Xia Yan will set an unprecedented record.
As a screenwriter, he successfully defended the gold medal for TV animation of the year.
If Xia Yan is allowed to do this, the influence of the three major animation companies will probably drop sharply in the industry, Xia Yan's Xia Tang animation company is rich, and has made a name and status in the industry, and there is a hard power creator like Xia Yan in charge, I am afraid that in a few years, it will grow into another giant animation production company in the animation industry of the Dragon Kingdom.
This is something that the three major animation production companies cannot tolerate.
After a few days, another Friday came.
Red Dragon, crash landing, the fourth episode of the revolutionaries of another world was broadcast one after another.
But unlike last week, the ratings of the three works are almost unchanged this week.
The ratings of the three works of 4.38%, 4.25%, and 4.27% are basically the same as last week.
This also shows the quality of the three animation works, which is this level, as long as the follow-up plots of the three works do not pull the crotch, then with the excitement of the works, the ratings data of the three works will also fluctuate to a certain extent on this baseline.
It's not too high, it's low, it's not going anywhere.
Practitioners and fans in the animation industry of Dragon Country probably understand this.
And at this time, everyone can also deeply understand the gold content of the 6% ratings of the magical girl Madoka in the later period.
The popular re-animation revolutionaries who invested nearly hundreds of millions of dollars are only at this 4% to 5% rating level, and the magic circle is more than 6%, which is indeed exaggerated to the point of perversion.
At this moment, everyone turned their eyes to the cyberpunk edgerunner.
Everyone wants to know, how is the fourth episode of this work performing?
Moyuan has brought the three-episode rule to the industry, so that everyone knows, if you want to evaluate whether a work has potential, you have to look at its drama results after the third episode?
Will Xia Yan's fourth episode of his new work have a better performance?
Or is it just like these three works, about the same grade, just like that, at the 4% rating level, it competes with Red Dragon, a revolutionary from another world and a rapid crash landing "fiercely" for the throne of this quarter's popular animation.
There is no way to reproduce the feat of sealing the gods in the ninth episode after the broadcast of the magic circle last year, the third episode began to rise, the sixth episode exploded, and the ninth episode sealed the feat of the gods, and then crushed the posture of reaching the top in one fell swoop.
Xia Yan's animation fans have great expectations for Xia Yan's new work at the moment, and the black fans are also ready to go, ready to wait for the marginal walker to start spraying when the quality of the drama weakens slightly, as for the peers in the animation industry, in addition to the three major animation companies, people from other small and medium-sized companies still support Xia Yan in their hearts, after all, Xia Yan's Xia Tang animation can be said to be a card of the three major animation production companies of Long Guofei.
Everyone really wants to see Xia Yan this year. Continue to rub the three major animation companies in the animation world.
There's something to do tonight, that's it.
