Chapter 286: Distribution and Public Opinion

After Xia Yan's meeting, soon after, Xia Yan's series of remarks on 2077 at the meeting and the Lelouch animation information released at the meeting spread wildly on the Internet.

Especially mechs.

Although this thing is just a show, it can be called the king of the animation fan group.

"My God, I'm here to see the 2077 animation conference, why can the old thief put such a cool thing out at the conference."

"Is it called a mecha? Those giant robots that appear in the Lelouch trailer PV. ”

"That's cool!"

"Brothers, damn me, I posted last month that the old thief's new animation "Rebellious Lelouch" will cause a huge pounce because of this bad name, and I'm wrong now"

"Why didn't the old thief take the name of the Flying Mecha, the name of the work of the Crazy Cool Tyrant. What a rebellious Lelouch, the animation of this name is really enough to persuade him to retreat. ”

"Seriously, if the old thief hadn't released Lelouch's teaser PV in advance, I really wouldn't have been able to watch an animation with this name."

"And the scene in the animation PV is a war, right, is this anime going to be that kind of war-themed animation?"

"I don't understand, I don't want to stay for a second this year, I really want to think about April next year!"

"When the time comes, Lu Lu will repair these mecha figures, and I will buy them up at that time."

"I can already see the scene of the old thief's animation, which is hot in the surrounding market at that time. After all, compared to selling magical girl Madoka's soul crystals and shame transformation clothes, this kind of robot figure is the peripheral goods that real men should buy. ”

"Hehe, real men should change into MO Yuan character coa costumes and enjoy the robot figures at home."

"The one above, pure pervert!"

Xia Yan's purpose can be regarded as accomplished.

The release of Lelouch's animated PV has indeed made Lelouxiu's work, which has not yet been broadcast, pay a sharp increase in the attention of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

But because it won't be seen on TV until April next year.

At this stage, it will not affect the BD sales and popularity of 2077.

Two days later, the upper part of the Cyberpunk 2077 animation BD was released simultaneously in the whole dragon country.

For the release of this animated BD, Xia Yan's entire company has spent twenty or thirty million publicity expenses from a month ago to the present.

For the release of the theatrical version of a TV animation, this amount of publicity money is already an extremely huge amount.

Many animated films are released in theaters without this kind of promotional expenses.

However, with the previous income of the magical girl Madoka as a reference, Xia Yan's company can also roughly predict what range the Cyberpunk 2077 animation BD can sell in, and how much its income will be.

So for Xia Yan, this investment can only be said to be reasonable.

And wait until Cyberpunk 2077 is released.

Xia Yan's fans finally understood what story this theatrical version was telling!

The main character, V, is a wanderer who wanders in Night City.

The story is to uncover the darkness of the hidden corners of Night City and the way the city works from his perspective.

In the aftermath of the war, human governments collapsed and were replaced by various tech companies that relied on the resources at their disposal to become the world's giants.

Among them, Arasaka Company, which is headquartered in Night City, is one of the best.

There are private armies, there are independent arms production lines, and they control the mining of mines, gold and other resources around the world.

The whole story can be said to be very different from the cyberpunk edge walker, the main perspective of the edge walker is still on David, and the analysis of the world view is not deep.

As for 2077, in fact, the story of the protagonist V is not too high.

The focus is on the whole picture of Night City through his perspective, which is full of strange technology, Mewtwo, all kinds of strange prosthetics, scavengers, middlemen, afterlife bars, and other fringe walkers, which are only mentioned by name, and are not actually explained in an expanded way

Of course, although it is true that the plot is not so infectious compared to the edge walkers, it also belongs to the excellent ranks.

The first part of the theatrical version of the bd animation, at the beginning of the plot, it introduces how V and his good brother Jack mixed in the bottom of Night City, and then how they were taken by the middleman, after receiving the task, Jack and V sneaked into the Arasaka Tower to steal biochips, and saw how the son of the chairman of the Arasaka Group killed his father and then, killed the black cauldron of the chairman of the Arasaka Group, and was planted by the chairman's son to blame V and his good brother Jack.

Jack was shot in the abdomen and killed in order to cover V's escape.

At the critical moment, V inserts a biochip into his brain, and is invaded by the personality of Johnny Silverhand, the legend of Night City in the biochip.

And when he finally carried his brother's body to the middleman to receive the task reward, he was shot by the middleman, all because of the effect of the biochip inserted into his mind, so that he did not die directly, but life. There is not much left, and Johnny Silverhand's personality will gradually erode V's brain until he completely occupies his body.

There is no superfluous love. The plot focuses on depicting battles, blood, cruelty, and darkness. As well as revenge, this is the story of 2077.

During the day of the release, there were long queues at the major merchandise stores in Dragon Country.

But in fact, when I returned home and finished watching the first part of the two-hour plot, I saw that at the end, V and the personality of Johnny Silverhand in his mind were released, and the two reached a cooperation for the common goal of "destroying Arasaka".

The entire upper theatrical version of the movie is broken in an unfinished place.

"It feels like it's not the same plot as I imagined!"

"Woo, I want to see David and Lucy!"

"Looking at it this way, it seems that 2077 doesn't have a chance for David and Lucy to play."

"Who says no? Decades ago, the Arasaka Company had the strength to seal the personality in the memory chip, and the biochip of Johnny Silver's hand came like this, maybe David's personality was also sealed by the Arasaka Company? ”

"Maybe the second part will appear."

"But one thing to say, the production of this theatrical version of the animation is really strong, but the plot style is so different from the Edge Walker!"

"Well, that's true."

"It feels like it's less interesting than the plot of the Edge Walker."

"No, it's your taste. I think it's so good-looking, the friendship between Jack and V, and the scene where Jack fell into V's arms in the end, I cried directly when I watched it. Then immediately the middleman betrays Jack and gives V a shot when he goes to get paid. Oh my God, in the animation, V was directly shot by a bullet through the head, and I thought that the protagonist was going to die, but I didn't expect that it was the biochip that saved him. ”

"One thing to say, Johnny Silverhand is also a kind of cyber psychosis! After the protagonist installs the chip, he is invaded by Johnny's silver hand personality, which looks like a psychotic invasion no matter how I look at it. ”

"So, this is also one of the protagonist's golden fingers?"

Indeed, it seems to be hinted in the plot that after the protagonist inserts the chip, it seems that the effect of the prosthesis on his spirit has almost disappeared, and only the personality phantom of Johnny's silver hand has been appearing in his mind. Does this mean that the protagonist can prosthetize himself without worrying about cyberpsychosis? ”

"I feel, there is indeed such a plot tendency!"

"Anyway, don't be too harsh, I personally think the cyberpunk 2077 theatrical version of the animation is pretty good, but you have to be a rebellious story with the god of theatrical animation! "It's no longer interesting than that. Originally, 80% of the theatrical version of the TV animation of Dragon Country was fried cold rice, allowing some popular characters to come out and show their faces and harvest a wave of fans. The old thief's 2077 can be said to have directly created a story in the same world view.,Put the feud between David and Rebecca on the edge walker.,Put it in the 2077 protagonist V to report.,It's already a very interesting plot.,You have to ask for a step The quality of the theatrical version of the animation is better than the edge walker tv animation.,That's too strong.。 ”

"The main thing is that the old thief's rebellious story is too good, so the expectations for his 2077 are also very high."

"I feel like you guys think 2077 is inferior to the Edge Walker because of a certain change in 2077's style and the Edge Walker. Personally, I like to watch this kind of urban gunfight story with pure plot, but I think 2077 is not bad for the edge walker at all. ”

"That's it, don't always worry about that little bit of love plot. Think more about the world view in 2077, and you will find that TMD has great potential! ”

"Actually, I think the plot of 2077 is interesting, and it really seriously portrays the worldview of this story. I give this theatrical version of the animation a perfect score of 10. ”

At night, Xia Yan's fans, who bought the 2077 animation BD during the day, gathered in various forums for discussion.

Although because the plot is not like the marginal walker, it mainly depicts love, and some fans have not adapted to the style change.

But most fans actually have a high opinion of this work.

Although the 2077 game was sprayed by a bunch of fans in the parallel world, it was only sprayed with sparse gameplay and many bugs, and players played it with the most top-of-the-line graphics card, but it presented players with the most rubbish frame rate, and various pictures were stuttered and torn.

But in terms of the plot of this work, it's actually okay.

The next day, within Xia Yan's company, the employees came to work today, and the big stone that had been pressing on everyone's hearts in the past week finally fell.

After all, judging from the current online evaluation, the sales of Cyberpunk 2077 will not be affected.

The vast majority of viewers still buy it.

When Xia Yan came to the company, he gathered the main backbone members of the cyberpunk project team for a meeting, and of course, the content of the meeting was also about the topic of cyberpunk 2077 theatrical animation.

The content of the meeting is also to let them put their next goal on the 207 lower theatrical version of the animation BD that will be released next month.

After the meeting, Xia Yan also took a long breath.

"It's over." A smile appeared on Xia Yan's face.

Of course, this end refers to the work of Xia Tang Animation Production Company in the field of animation this year.

Now 2077 only has the next theatrical version of the animation on sale, and Lelouch will only start broadcasting in April next year, as soon as today's meeting ends, Xia Yan basically from now until April next year, at least Xia Tang Animation Company does not have much work to deal with.

It's been a busy year, and I can take a breath.

In the afternoon, the members of the Lelouch animation production team were gathered together to inquire about their production progress, and then they handed over the original Lelouch repair interlude score to the staff of the music team to ask them to find someone to arrange, sing, and record.

Xia Yan finished his day's work.

It took two hours in the evening to check the manuscripts that Sword Art Online would submit tomorrow, and then handed over the draft of the latest full-time hunter storyboard to Mo Ran.

Sometimes, because of the need for classes, I often have to work until after 12 p.m.

This is Xia Yan's daily life.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is quite fulfilling.

But if you find someone in Xia Yan's position, it is estimated that you will retire long ago and take money to enjoy life.

Soon, a few days passed.

Cyberpunk 2077 upper part of the first week of BD sales data released.

First week

840,000 copies.

Although many fans complained that 2077 and Marginal Walker have a big gap in plot style, their support for this animation can be seen from the sales.

After this data came out, in the entire animation industry, Xia Yan's peers and his fans were a little emotionally exploding.

Peers are envious, jealous, and hateful.

Fans are proud.

Black powder is heartbreaking.

"Eight hundred and forty thousand copies, against the sky!"

"Is this the appeal of the old thief now? It's too terrifying, 840,000 copies in the first week, it's really outrageous. ”

"But aren't there so many people on the Internet who don't like 2077? How can there still be so many sales. ”

"The vast majority of fans who buy BD don't speak, so don't be misled by online public opinion. With Xia Yan's current popularity in the industry, a few people complained that the work was boring, and it was impossible to scare his other fans to put it bluntly, even if the old thief created a defense now, fans would have to buy it and see it with their own eyes, so they would spray it, and they would not be easily affected by public opinion. ”

"I just said, 2077 is quite interesting, but those fans who only like to watch love stories can't say it there. In fact, the vast majority of passers-by and viewers, such as my sister, have never watched the Edge Walker, and she watched the 2077 plot with me the day before yesterday with relish, and she didn't speak throughout the whole process, and she watched the thief seriously. ”

"But 840,000 in the first week. Eventually, the sales will exceed two million copies. ”

"Two million, that's for sure! If this work has stronger stamina, there is great hope for 2.5 million. ”

"If it really sells more than two million. There are only two of them in the Dragon Kingdom, and the average volume of the TV version of the animation BD broke 1 million, and the theatrical version of the animation broke 2 million, all of which were created by the old thief. ”

"It's scary to think about."

"Why does the old thief have this head? Achievements that others can't achieve in a lifetime, and works that can't be created in a lifetime, he has made two works for two consecutive years. ”

"Maybe there's a third part. In my opinion, the rebellious Lulu in April next year is not an ordinary animation. ”

"It's definitely not ordinary! The production funds of the rebellious Lelouch have released news on the official website of the old thief Xia Tang Animation Company. Total investment, 170 million"

"Poof! Make no mistake, right? 170 million? ”

"Well, but the anime is said to be very long, and of course, the number of works has not been announced, because it is said that the old thief did not create the entire script. But there should be a bit of a lot of episodes, and it can't be just a dozen episodes of quarterly animation, there will be such a high investment. ”

"Outrageous. 1.70 billion dragon coins! Making an animation? There are not many movies in Dragon Kingdom that have this kind of investment in a year! The old thief is going to make every episode of this animation an animated movie quality? ”

"Whatever, anyway, the TV station broadcasts it, and it doesn't cost money, and the bigger the investment, the better."

The entire Winter Party animation market, from the beginning to the present, has been occupied by the topic of cyberpunk almost all the time, and on the forum, everyone is discussing the world view of the 2077 plot, as well as the possible plot development of the next part.

And almost no one discusses the new animations broadcast this quarter.。

This year's Dragon Kingdom hegemony animation, Cyberpunk Edge Walker is well-deserved.

But just when the animation industry was immersed in the sales miracle and plot of 2077BD.

In the comics industry, Xia Yan's initial D was unconsciously serialized to the sixth episode.

And

After this episode, this work finally enters its main line.

Hunter Assessment!
