Chapter 276: Discussion and Decision

On Tuesday, the entire Dragon Nation animation community was still immersed in the impact of cyberpunk animation's ending on the industry.

These characters in this animation are also reaching the top in the various character selections of the Dragon Kingdom.

Especially Adam Hammer, not long after the animation ended, there is no Adam Hammer's character peripherals, but many first-tier city comic conventions directly engage in animated screenshot posters as entrance carpets, and every fan who enters the exhibition will stomp on his face.

And after the animation is over, let's take a look at this animation

There are various interpretations, and the foreshadowing of the animation from the first episode runs through the whole work.

Moreover, after the end of the cyberpunk edgerunner, Xia Yan's fan group also began to dispute over a matter.

Moyuan or Cyberpunk Edge Walker, which work is better?

In terms of the results of the TV anime serialization alone, the magical girl Madoka is obviously better, but many fans don't look at the data at all.

In terms of subjective feelings, those older animation fans prefer cyberpunk edgerunners.

And the tragic and poignant ending of this work made them sad after they were sad, but it also made them remember it even more.

Early Tuesday morning, these fans woke up early in the morning and lined up in front of the major shops around their homes.

The first volume of the BD of Cyber Punk Edge Walker has actually reached 200,000 copies before the release, including the number of online purchases and the number of sales pre-ordered by viewers through physical stores.

A record-breaking number in the history of Dragon Kingdom animation BD sales.

Of course, such an exaggerated sales do not depend entirely on the quality of this work, and a considerable part of the reason is that Xia Yan is too hot in the animation industry now.

To what extent?

His existence is the focus of social topics for ACG fans.

A group of two-dimensional fans get together, and the topic will always be biased towards Xia Yan.

What initial D male protagonist was green, what Asuna was imprisoned by Xu Xiang in the process of being ntr by him again, and what magical girl Xiaoyuan theater version of the second part is new.

It can be said that in today's two-dimensional circle of the Dragon Kingdom, you can dislike Xia Yan's works, but if you don't understand and watch his works at all, there will be a generation gap between you and other two-dimensional fans.

Last year's magical girl Madoka was a phenomenon of the year. This year, Cyberpunk Edge Walker once again set off such a viewing storm in the Dragon Country animation industry.

Many passerby animation fans who have never watched this work at all are also completely entangled by the market and marketing at this time, and they have come to buy BD to prepare to make up for it.

This is also the reason why the BD sales of Cyberpunk Edgerunner exploded so much in the first week.

Since Tuesday, most of the animation fans on the Internet have been showing off their cyberpunk edgerunner animation bds.

But the fans of the magic capital are arrogant after all.

After all, Xia Yan will hold a BD signing meeting on the spot, and will also take photos with fans.

For a whole week, the Dragon Nation animation industry was immersed in the end of the cyberpunk edgerunners.

And in this process, the most embarrassing thing is the three works of the three major animation production companies this quarter.

Red Dragon, a revolutionary from another world, made a rapid landing.

Cyberpunk Edgerunner has only ten episodes, and it will end in early to mid-September, but these three works are still being serialized.

The ratings haven't dropped much anyway, and they're still fluctuating in the 4% range, but compared to the 6% ratings of the last episode of Cyberpunk Edgerunner, that's at least a level or two worse.

Although the pre-sale of BD animation has also been opened, but judging from the current pre-sale situation, the first week is tens of thousands of volumes.

This situation is very embarrassing for the three major animation production companies

For two years in a row, being hit by a new company in the animation industry like this kind of facelift, it really made them lose face.

But animation is a thing,Good is good,Bad is bad,It's not a luxury.,Animation fans in the market only care about whether the animation is good or not.,As for the animation made by your big company or a small company,For many fans,It doesn't matter.。

Soon, the sales data for the first volume of the BD of Cyberpunk Edgerunner was released.

As of today, BD has been on sale for one week, plus 200,000 pre-orders

Cyberpunk Edgerunner Volume 1 sold a staggering 370,000 copies of the first week of BD sales

After the data was released, major animation forum websites and news media simultaneously published articles for publicity.

[Sales exceeded 300,000 copies in the first week, and the first volume of Cyberpunk Edge Walker BD once again set a sales miracle. 】

[Compared with the magic circle, the sales of the first volume of the cyberpunk edge walker bd have been significantly boosted, but the sales data of more than 300,000 copies is based on the premise that Xia Yan is now hugely popular in the industry. 】

[Magic Circle Fans and Edge Walker Fans have been pinching each other frantically on the Internet this week, who is better in the two works, it depends on whether Cyberpunk Edge Walker has a chance to surpass the miracle sales of magical girl Madoka Xiao in terms of BD sales. 】

[Cyberpunk Edge Walker once again set a historical sales miracle in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, according to this sales trend, it is likely to become another popular animation with an average sales of more than one million BD volumes after Madoka Magica.] 】

[The end of a whole week,The popularity of cyberpunk edge walkers continues to grow,There is already a momentum of last year's magical girl Madoka stirring the storm in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry,Two consecutive years,Two phenomenal animation works,Xia Yan of the magic capital, will he really be twenty years old,Ascend to the top of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry first person? 】

[Three animation works, the average rating of the highest episode of one animation broke 4%, and the highest rating of the two episodes broke 6% of the animation results, and his worst work results are already ninety-nine percent of the Dragon Kingdom animation people can't touch the height in this life. 】

[Cyberpunk Edge Walker animation peripherals will be on the official website of Modu TV1 next week,Xia Tang Animation official website,Jiuxiao Forum online shopping area synchronously on the shelves, among which the highest number of pre-ordered peripheral products is Rebecca Q version coaster,The cup body is made into the appearance image of Adam Hammer,This cup package priced at 39Dragon Coin has been pre-sold up to 270,000 copies,On playing stalks,You have to be official Xia Tang Animation。 】

[While the influence of cyberpunk edgerunners in the Dragon Kingdom continues to spread, fans also leave messages in the comment area of Xia Tang Animation's official website asking for the second episode. In terms of plot structure, this animation has a lot to offer, the villain Adam Hammer is not dead, and Lucy is still alive, maybe we can look forward to the story of the second season of this work. 】

Xia Yan looked at the news on the Internet that reported cyberpunk edge walkers, and for a long time, he let out a long breath.

This week, he is very sensitive to these things, and he is also playing small tricks at this time in the three major animation companies of the embankment, bribing the water army to maliciously smear the cyberpunk edgerunners.

But in fact, it's also that he's thinking too much, and the three major animation companies really can't find the point of how to hack this work, in terms of plot and depth of work, this work has completely exploded their single three animations this quarter, and if it's looking for Xia Yan, the creator's black spot.

Also can't find it.

I have been enrolled in Modu University for three years, my grades are normal, I haven't failed a course, I don't even have a girlfriend, and I have no scandals.

In the eyes of those who hate him in the industry, Xia Yan is the seamless egg that can't find a place to bite.

"It's finally over," Xia Yan leaned back in his work chair.

After entering his junior year, his schoolwork has decreased a lot, and he is now a special student in the department.

Xia Yan has made such great achievements in the two-dimensional industry, it can be said that Modu University is promoting Xia Yan as a positive example in admissions.

After Xia Yan entered the university, under the guidance of the teacher of the Department of Literature, his creative strength has greatly improved, so he has created works such as Magic Circle and Edge Walker, and the school seeks fame, so he naturally has to give Xia Yan preferential treatment, many courses Xia Yan can't go to the scene because the company is busy, only to make up for the online class later, and the teacher also turns a blind eye to him.

Xia Yan looked from his office to the outside office area.

Now the number of people in his company has increased again in the past two weeks, rising to more than 200 people.

However, now the company is in the afterglow of the cyberpunk edge walker that has just finished production, and many people have no work on their hands, and they are also in a state of fishing in the company.

"I have to hurry up and get the plan for the new work ready, and then let my subordinates move." Xia Yan muttered softly.

He doesn't care about paying his subordinates a salary for one or two months, the salary of two hundred people, and four or five million dragon coins in one or two months, judging from the BD sales data of cyberpunk edge walkers, the income that this animation will eventually bring to Xia Yan will be more than hundreds of millions, and this employee expense is now a drizzle for Xia Yan.

But you can't get rid of laziness.

Whether it is for the company's employees or Xia Yan himself, once he is lax now

Xia Yan estimated that it was not impossible for him to play for ten or eight years without doing anything and indulge in a state of idleness.

At this time, Xia Yan's mobile phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Uh-huh. I've made it very clear. ”

"Yes, there are only three weeks left, Mo Ran and I have already decided, just three weeks later, the editor-in-chief, you don't need to persuade again"

"New? If it's new, it'll be taken out in a month.,Please don't worry.。 ”

"The end of the initial D signing? This one. It can indeed be considered. But I want to try to keep it to 10 days, within seven cities, after all, I have to juggle my studies."

Xia Yan hung up the phone, and the thirteenth or fourteenth time in this month he talked on the phone with the editor-in-chief of Beizhou Comics.

Originally, people would come to talk to Xia Yan about this kind of important thing in person, but Xia Yan was too busy, and he had to take care of animation, comics, and industry work, so he really couldn't make time for these, and a lot of content was discussed clearly on the phone.

The initial D will be serialized in the first October issue of "North Boat".

The end of the plot is the scene where Tu Hai chooses to join the Gao Liang team and leaves Qiu Ming Mountain.

Anyway, Xia Yan has no interest in the content of the comics after the plot of the initial text D, and naturally, he is not interested in transporting the later content to the Dragon Kingdom.

But he is now the representative cartoonist of Beizhou Comics Society, and after the end of the initial D, he can't ignore the impact on the sales of Beizhou Comics Society.

After repeatedly negotiating with the other party, Xia Yan also agreed, and in October, when the initial D ended, the serialization of the new work began.

This is also the last concession that Beizhou Comics Club can make, although there is no contract on Beizhou's side to bind Xia Yan, but the cooperation between the two sides, in addition to the cold contract, also has to talk about some moral issues, Xia Yan can indeed completely ignore the interests of Beizhou Comics, and go to the waves by himself for a few years after finishing the initial text D.

But this will only ruin his reputation in the industry, and the cartoonist who is criticized for being willful and immoral after becoming famous will invisibly narrow his path and lose more than he gains.

As for the new serialized comics

Xia Yan is still thinking about it.

In the process of serializing the initial D and making the animation of cyberpunk edge walkers, Xia Yan has also seen many excellent works in Yuan Qing's memory.

However, for Xia Yan's current status in the industry, he will not easily carry ordinary works.

Now the fans' expectations for Xia Yan are initial D,,Magic Circle,Cyberpunk Edge Walker This level of work,You can come up with better works or works that are not too far but at the same level.

But it is definitely not possible to do works such as Youth Journey, which will limit the improvement of Xia Yan's influence in the industry.

Just like Hayao Miyazaki in the parallel world, when everyone thinks of him, they will think of works such as Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away, if he can create another movie of the same level in his later years, it will be a real god. On the contrary, he made ten more animated films like Listen to the Ear and the fairy tales of the years, which did not help him to increase his influence in the industry.

Therefore, after Xia Yan's influence in the industry has progressed to this point, the choice will become narrower.

Crushing in all aspects, beyond the magic circle, beyond the initial D of this level of works does not exist.

Purely just looking at the sales data, it may be able to compare one, two, three, four or five.

But in terms of the quality of the works, in fact, these works are on the same level, and the biggest reason why there is a sales gap is in the subject audience.

In countries with more basketball enthusiasts, only when you engage in basketball anime will people watch it, which is the reason why the influence of slam dunk in the parallel world far exceeds that of football players in China.

But does this mean that slam dunk crushes the soccer player in all directions?

In the world, the theme of football is actually more popular, such as Europe and the United States, where the influence of football players is more powerful than that of slam dunk.

Therefore, Xia Yan can actually obtain works in Yuan Qing's memory, and there are no works that can surpass the initial D and the magic circle.

It can only be said that these top works are classic masterpieces in their respective categories, and the sales order is affected by the number of audiences of the subject matter, which can't be helped, from a considerable point of view, there is no difference between who is more powerful or worse.

And the number of these works is much smaller.

Moreover, in addition to the comics, there are new works to be serialized, and the company's new animation plan has to be decided.

Another week later, Xia Tang Animation released the BD of the second volume of the Cyberpunk Edge Walker TV animation, and also passed through the three channels of Modu TV1 Tai, Jiuxiao Forum, and Xia Tang Animation's official website, and announced a news at the same time.

After the release of all three volumes of Cyberpunk Edgewalker TV animation BD in September

Within two months, the first BD of the cyberpunk edgewalker theatrical version of the movie animation will be released at the same time

[The legend of Night City is not over yet!] 】

With the playing of this propaganda slogan.

In mid-to-late September, the Dragon Nation animation world was once again turned upside down by cyberpunk edge walkers.

"Theatrical animation? So fast? ”

"Within two months of the release of the third volume of the anime TV version of the bd? What day is it? ”

"This,It should depend on the market situation.,You have to let the market fans buy the TV animation BD almost.,The theatrical version of the animation BD will be released! Otherwise, if they go public together, in fact, many student parties do not have so much pocket money, and the mutual impact on sales outweighs the losses. ”

"Damn, Xia Yan's old thief is calculating."

"I can't wait. There is actually a theatrical version of this animation? Who is the main character? Lucy? ”

"I don't know, but the theatrical version of the animation is called "Cyberpunk 2077", which is not understood? David died in 2076 in Cyberpunk Edgerunner, so 2077 is the story of a year after David's death, which is a sequel story. Maybe the protagonist is Falco, the escaped driver. Maybe it's Lucy. ”

"Damn, I'm excited, I want to watch Lucy's revenge."

"It's been two weeks since I watched the Edge Walker, and I've been reverberating the theme song in my dreams, and now I want to see the scene of David's resurrection, hoping that the old thief will be kind and let David be resurrected in 2077."

"It feels unlikely, it's too vulgar to really resurrect him, why do you think the theatrical version of the animation is as god as the rebellious story of the magic circle! Lower your expectations, I just want to see Adam hammer to death. ”

"Me too, don't mess around with David's death, otherwise it will destroy the poignancy of the edge walkers, but Adam hammer, he must die!"

In mid-to-late September, when Xia Yan fans thought that Cyberpunk Edge Walker was going to launch a theatrical version of the BD within two months, it was Xia Yan's last big move in the month, but.

The next day.

Beizhou Comics Club issued an announcement.

Initial D comics, which will be completed in three weeks.

This news is another bombshell, which exploded in the two-dimensional industry of the Dragon Kingdom in an instant.

Is the initial D going to end?

What kind of fantasy is this?

Cyberpunk Edgerunner is over ten episodes, so it's okay to say.

This kind of theme work itself is not very long.

But the initial D ah.

The protagonist Tu Hai has just dominated Qiuming Mountain, and after convincing all the challengers, he is just about to enter the world outside Qiuming Mountain, and he has just walked out of the novice village, but at this time, you are finished?

Just kidding, right?
