Chapter 260: Public Opinion and Declaration of War
At night, close to eight o'clock, Xia Yan's fans in the major forums of the Dragon Kingdom became active, and they vied with each other in the fan group to issue announcements to inform everyone to watch TV on time.
Now, the competition among the four animations in the autumn file has entered a white-hot stage, and the fourth episode has been broadcast, but the ratings gap is very small, which can be seen from the fact that in the first three weeks of July, the animation works with the first weekly ratings are different.
The so-called Quarterly Hegemony Animation, this title has a chance for anyone in the four works.
However, for Xia Yan's fans, the ratings of tonight's fourth episode of Cyberpunk Fringe Walker are crucial.
"Red Dragon, the revolutionaries of another world and the crash landing, have won the single-week ratings championship in the previous three weeks, but the cyberpunk edgerunner has not won it, which is very uncomfortable."
"Now fans of those works are laughing at us, we have always been the second, this is unbearable."
"Even if you have something to work overtime in the company today, you can turn on the company's TV and tune it to Modu TV1 and contribute a little ratings to cyberpunk."
"The plot of the cyberpunk edge walker tonight is amazing, if it is the second or even lower in the ratings, those sunspots will be black Teacher Xia Yan again in the next week, what is the success of the magic circle is just a flash in the pan, this is the real level of Teacher Xia Yan."
"This, is the rating of more than 4% of cyberpunk edge walkers very low? You say this as if this is rubbish. ”
"It's really not low, but it's a gap compared to the magic circle! A person who everyone thinks can score 100 points, but only takes 80 points, this will definitely be ridiculed. ”
"This is the price of being famous, if you change someone else, the ratings of each episode will be more than 4% after the broadcast, which must not be blown up, but if you change Teacher Xia Yan, this is uncomfortable! This achievement has to be ridiculed. ”
"Come on, brothers, top up the Cyberpunk Fringe Walker ratings tonight."
Xia Yan's fans are also alive now.
Before the start of the broadcast, the major animation forums were almost all related topics.
Before the start of the broadcast, the ratings of Modu TV1 came to 4.22%.
The plot of the fourth episode of Cyberpunk Edgerunner is not much different from the third episode, and it is still David's cyberpunk career after joining the Mann team.
From a rookie, to being able to calmly complete the tasks assigned by Mann, from a person who can only stand stupidly when shot by others, to the existence of being able to use Sanwystan to save his teammates at critical moments.
David is growing.
Make money, transform your body, and replace your flesh and blood body with a steel prosthetic body little by little.
A powerful cyberpunk whose body is not original except for its brain, but is made of steel.
The main character, David, is now just a prosthetic body with a spine, and he is still walking very shallow on the road of cyberpunk.
Of course, his growth doesn't stop there.
At least his boss, Mann, felt that he should use his brain more elsewhere.
For example, how to chase girls
Exercise, or find an opportunity to go for a night run with Lucy.
Talking about the sky, talking about the earth, talking about the air, there are topics to talk about desperately, there is no topic, and you have to talk about it awkwardly when you create a topic.
From the beginning, just keeping up with Lucy's footsteps was so tired that after the physical fitness in the back could keep up, he could easily run the whole distance side by side with Lucy.
Although it's not a plot with a huge reversal and novelty, it's quite rare to see an animation like this that introduces how the protagonist takes the initiative to chase a girl.
"She said she wanted to go to the moon and it was her dream." In the anime, David sighs as he chats with Mann.
And after this plot appeared in the animation, the DNA of many Xia Yan fans was touched.
To the moon?
What a familiar word.
in the major fan bases.
"Is the old thief Xia Yan playing with memes?"
"Isn't this a coincidence, Lucy's dream is to go to the moon? What is this implying here? ”
"The last one who was going to the moon died in the work of the old thief."
"It always feels like the old thief is hinting at something."
"Is this a tragedy?"
"Don't say that the core of a work with a cyberpunk theme is tragedy, it depends on how this work is shaped."
"For now, the protagonist's life is quite tragic anyway, his mother died, he joined a cyberpunk gang and became an underground mercenary, and now he is licking blood and chasing the heroine."
Just when the Dragon Kingdom audience thought that this episode would be so dull, the most shocking scene in the fourth episode of Cyberpunk appeared.
Mann and his party wander the streets after drinking at night and see a homeless man urinating on the street.
Of course, the funny person in the team, the "Pila" who keeps making yellow jokes on weekdays is not a moral model, he just can't get used to seeing someone defecate in front of him so arrogantly, and then he stepped forward to stop it.
And to greet him.
It was the homeless man's pistol against his chin.
Without even saying a word, the homeless man shot directly.
In the anime, Pila's head was shot through, it should be said that it was shot out.
The eyeballs exploded, the skull was overturned, and the brains were sprinkled on the ground, leaving only a headless body.
This scene, even fans who have seen a lot of bloody scenes in the first three episodes are also suppressed at this time.
"So outrageous?"
"Pila, my Pila"
"Just dead? Not even a hint of it? ”
"This, this is the world of cyberpunk? Kill someone if you don't agree with a gun? People just advise you not to defecate in the open, and you're like that? ”
"No, it's not, it's said in the animation, this homeless man, he, he's having a cyber psychotic episode."
"This is cyberpsychosis?"
"What the hell is this? Say it's a seizure? ”
"The same is true of the soldier in the first episode who pretended to be Sianweistan, who killed people indiscriminately after a cyber psychotic episode."
"This thing, it's too scary, I almost threw up when I watched the animation just now, and that eyeball was directly exploded, and I can't sleep tonight."
"It's really scary, I thought this animation was quite easy, but I didn't expect that it was just a moment, and Pyra died like this."
"This may be the worldview that Teacher Xia Yan wants to tell us, the protagonist is not invincible, if you don't pay attention in this kind of world, you will burp every minute."
In this episode, since Pila's death, the ratings of the work have been rising.
Although everyone spit blood in their mouths, in fact, they can't stop watching it at all.
By the end of the episode, David and Lucy, who have finally recovered from the cyber psychotic attack, are on the towers of Night City's buildings and confessing their inner thoughts over Pila's death.
"What I told you the other day, the dream of going to the moon, is not a lie." Lucy spoke suddenly.
"I also believe that what you said that day was not a lie." David stared at each other.
"And what if what I'm telling you now is a lie to you?" Lucy asked rhetorically.
"I don't believe it."
"I don't want to believe it."
Because of this brief conversation, the boy and the girl finally turned the page on the previous incident of Lucy cheating on David and ushering in Mann to find David.
At this time, David was touched by Lucy's words, and once the conversation box was opened, there was no way to stop.
The feelings, opinions, and opinions about Lucy were all spoken in one go.
"We are completely different people." Lucy said lonely.
"What's the difference?" David's voice was raised and he looked at Lucy earnestly.
"I'll take you to the moon!"
After David's words came out, the audience in front of the TV was silent for a while.
Especially Xia Yan fans who watched the work of the moon in the past.
Although the dream of Lucy to go to the moon in cyberpunk is the same as John's dream in the work "To the Moon".
But this coincidence produced a wonderful chemical reaction at this moment.
Let fans who have watched the work of the moon feel more and more touching in the animation.
A teenager, only relying on the impulse of the moment, said this sentence to the girl.
"I will take you to the moon and fulfill your dreams, I promise you."
At this moment, Lucy finally took off her inner defense, leaned down on her standing body, picked up David's face, and kissed it.
The soothing background music, combined with the catapult of the moon rocket that only the extremely rich can sit on in Night City, the flame tail of the rocket and the white moon in the sky make the figure of the boy and girl kissing under the moon so beautiful that it makes people cry.
"I don't want you to die." Lucy confronted David and said what she wanted of David.
"I'm not going to die," David replied to her calmly.
This scene, at this moment, conquered all the viewers who watched the animation of the cyberpunk edgerunner.
The audience's hearts were surging when they watched it, but they didn't know that in the fourth episode, the words that the two hoped that the other party could realize for themselves at the moment of their relationship was the beginning of the tragedy of this work.
David, hoping that Lucy can fulfill her dream of landing on the moon.
And Lucy, but hopes that David will never die, not like Pila, who suddenly died in this episode, although the whole work is not clearly expressed, but the audience can see that Lucy, she is extremely afraid and frightened in her heart, worried that the person she cherishes will leave her.
But what if these two desires conflict to some extent?
At the moment, none of the fans watching Cyberpunk Edgerunner thought about this question.
The fourth episode of Cyberpunk Edgerunner aired to an end.
Many animation viewers are still immersed in the plot.
For Cyberpunk Edgerunner, the real turning point begins in episode 6, when the main character's big brother Mann is mutated.
From the sixth episode onwards, the whole work has been developing in the direction of depression and never going back, and the tear-jerking degree of the work has deepened episode by episode until the final end of the tenth episode.
The original game of this work, Cyberpunk 2077, was originally sprayed by many game fans because of game optimization and plot problems, and the original animation was only launched two years after the game was launched in a parallel world.
But it was originally just a welfare derivative animation, but after it was broadcast in the parallel world, millions of gamers frantically returned to the game, just to help David in the animation to be a boss of this work, Adam Hammer.
An animation that makes a game that has only a few thousand people online at the same time on a certain game platform two years after its launch, but turns into hundreds of thousands of people online at the same time after a few days, this is Cyberpunk Edgerunner.
Of course, in the Dragon Kingdom, because this animation is updated weekly, so fans don't look like they watch it on the Netflix website in the parallel world, and it's really different to watch it in one go, abusing you only in one day, absolutely not for weeks.
The next day, the ratings for the fourth episode of Cyberpunk were released.
4.49%
In this week's new animation,The ratings are the first.。
So far, in the animation market in July, there are more than 100 animations in total, and the first week of the ratings is the revolutionaries of another world, the second week is the red dragon, the third week is the rapid landing, and the fourth week.
Cyberpunk Edgerunner.
There has never been a quarter where the Dragon Kingdom animation market has been on the air for a month, and the whole situation is still so chaotic.
All four works are hugely popular, but none of them have been able to consistently stand out from the competition.
And the cyberpunk edgerunner ratings reached the top, which also made the three major animation companies a little panicked.
Anyone can reach the top, Xia Yan's works have reached the top, so it's okay?
Several companies have bought off the news media to manipulate the tide of public opinion within the limits of the law.
The news media in the animation industry that received the money also reported on it.
[The four animations in this month's animation market are blooming brightly, and the suspense of who is the overlord in the autumn animation market is still retained. 】
[Four top animations compete for glory in one quarter, and the golden age scene of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry is reproduced? ] 】
[The new work of the author of the magical girl Madoka Xia Yan is disappointing, and it is difficult to reproduce the popularity and popularity of the magical girl Madoka at the beginning, although the cyberpunk edge walker is a masterpiece, but with its level, it is difficult not to sigh, Xia Yan's pinnacle of this life, may be the magical girl Madoka. 】
[The magical girl Madoka has become a mountain in the professional life of the genius creator Xia Yan, and judging from the achievements of today's cyberpunk edge walkers, there is basically no chance to reproduce the glory of the magic circle. 】
[A third-rate animation that attracts people with gore and violence, the quality of an animation, cannot be measured by ratings. 】
[Cyberpunk Edge Walker, an animation whose fame is greater than its strength. 】
Obviously, it was the cyberpunk edgewalker who won the first place in this week's ratings, but the entire industry public opinion was almost unfavorable to the cyberpunk edgewalker.
The employees of Xia Tang Animation Production Company were also angry when they saw this.
"Damn, how much does Donglin Animation's comic review weekly charge us for hacking us like this."
"There is also Qian Youlin, a dead fat man, with millions of fans, who is famous in the animation industry who gives more money to help whoever speaks, and I don't know how much money the three major animation companies give them, and they also talk nonsense with their eyes open, saying that cyberpunk attracts people by blood, and it is not the same as the obscene movies broadcast on late-night TV, that is, there are many people who watch it."
"Fans shouldn't believe these statements like that."
"Fans of the boss will definitely not believe it, but passers-by may not! How many excellent movies in the film industry are because they were hacked by the water army, and then passers-by lost confidence and finally hit the street at the box office, there are relatively few such things in the animation industry, after all, there are dozens of works in a quarter, and these companies have to buy all the water army to go black, and the cost is too great, but I didn't expect the three major companies to be so shameless and target us. ”
"There's no way, the boss's reputation in the past two years is too big, and the boss is not a simple creator, he also started his own company, the threat is really too big, if you don't develop it in a year or two, you can compete with the three major animation companies, and people can only say that it is a normal business behavior to do this."
"If it weren't for the laws of the Dragon Kingdom restricting it here, these people wouldn't know how dark it would be."
"I don't believe it, the cyberpunk edgerunner animation will be knocked down by these little tricks."
The people in the company were furious, and Xia Yan was also uncomfortable watching these reports in the office.
Although commercial competition is inevitable, these means are inevitable.
However, Xia Yan also knew in his heart that it didn't make much sense for the three major animation companies to do this.
Because Dragon Kingdom is not a simple era of paper and television media, the channels for animation audiences to understand a work are not only these, but also online channels.
Although on TV and in various magazines there are quite a few in the singing of cyberpunk fringe walkers.
But in fact, the rise of this animation is basically unstoppable.
Xia Yan logged in to his creator account, and he had 20 million followers, and the account name was "Xia Yan. YUAN Qing. Warrior of Love" posted a post on the creator's account.
[The experience of not being defeated by his subordinates, starting this week, the ratings of the cyberpunk edgerunner animation will not lose once, and it will continue to reach the top until the end! ] 】
Soon after the news was released
It exploded directly in Xia Yan's fan group and the group of practitioners in the animation industry of the Dragon Kingdom.
Teacher Xia Yan, he is.
Is there a declaration of war on the big three animation companies?
Now that the ratings of the four works in the Dragon Kingdom animation market are among the best, no one dares to say that they will be the final winner of the animation market this quarter.
But the meaning of Xia Yan's words is very clear
This week, after the Edge Walker got the No. 1 Ratings throne, it won't let it go.
And a few words in the speech.
Defeated?
Overtake?
You're at the top of the ratings this week, so all the other new anime works of this season are your subordinates, right?
Is it impossible for others to overtake?
And this sentence, how to listen to it has other meanings, this subordinate defeated, can it refer to the three major animation companies, after all, these three were defeated head-on by Xia Yan's magic circle last year.
The meaning of this sentence feels like it is not only about the Red Dragon, the three works such as the rapid crash landing cannot surpass the Edge Walker, but also the meaning that your three major animation companies will not have a chance to surpass Xia Tang Animation Company.
To put it mildly, this is confidence in his own works, and to put it mildly, he can't afford to see the three works launched by the three major animation companies this quarter, so he will publish this kind of remarks in public on his account that tens of millions of people follow.
Xia Yan couldn't be unaware of his current influence in the industry.
When this kind of remark comes out, the attitude is basically clear, in the face of these small actions of the three major animation companies, he is not ready to tolerate it, and he is directly facing it!
