Chapter 307: Progress

"So, the old thief will really become, the first in history in the three major fields of animation and comics?"

"It's just possible, not absolutely. But the hunter is now the first two volumes of the single book, and the average sales volume has exceeded 20 million, and it's only the second volume, Sword Art Online is very stable, after all, the average volume has broken 24 million, and the gap is not high from the first, if the old thief ggo chapter is well written, it feels like it's the ggo chapter. As for the animation field, regardless of whether Lelouch can break the magic circle record, anyway, the first in history is the old thief. ”

"It's crazy. I only know that the old thief is fierce, but it is true that he is so fierce, and there is no sense of substance without these people counting these data. ”

"To be honest, I'm already looking forward to it. I want to see the scene of the three industries of the old thief reaching the top, and I am excited when I think about it. ”

"But in that case, will the old thief retire after becoming famous! Think about it, he has achieved the first place in this industry, and is he still motivated to learn and progress? ”

"Earning more than a billion a year, I think he is still motivated."

"For him, there shouldn't be any temptation to make money, so rich."

"Who is afraid of money? I won't anyway. ”

"Don't think about the old thief with your mortal thoughts, he is only twenty-one years old, he is still a child, and he still has at least fifty years of golden creative period, according to his creative speed of three works in two years, he can still create at least dozens or hundreds of works in his life."

"If that's the case, I won't have comics in my life, and animation will be stark."

"Alas, it's boring, the old thief is getting better and better, and I can't see the sunspots coming out to lose face recently, and they have lost a lot of fun in life."

“.”

"The above, don't go too far, there are a lot of people in this forum, you say these gloating words, those diving sunspots will be angry when they see it."

"Oh yes, then I'll say more."

"Haha."

The summer vacation in July should be the peak season for the two-dimensional industry, and many works in the field of animation, comics, and fields will be sought after by students.

In previous years, it was a scene of a hundred flowers in full bloom.

But this year, most of the animations, comics, and groups you can see in Dragon Kingdom are basically about Xia Yan's works.

The rebellious Lelouch, under such circumstances, the fifteenth and sixteenth episodes were broadcast one after another.

As a small boss in the middle of the work, the role of Mao, another Geass ability owner, is only these three episodes.

In fact, from an objective point of view, the plot of Mao, the mid-term boss, is a little out of the main plot.

Lelouch and his struggle helped him to overthrow the Bunitanian Empire with almost zero help.

But in this chapter, the focus is still on portraying CC's inner world, so although some fans feel that Mao's plot is a little dragged, more people also find it very interesting.

However, it is reflected in the ratings of the anime.

The ratings of 5.86% and 5.98% respectively for the two episodes are subtle.

It's still hovering around the 6% ratings mark.

The ratings of the work can well reflect the market's recognition of the work.

Even with Xia Yan's current popularity, if the broadcast episodes cannot satisfy the audience, it will be difficult to break through the 6% ratings mark.

In this regard, Xia Yan himself has no ideas.

It's just that everyone in the company is a little depressed.

After all, Xia Yan's works have always been better and better week by week after they were broadcast, like the 5.96% rating of fourteen episodes, and only 5.86 for fifteen episodes, which did not rise, and it was the first time that it had dropped by 10,000 points.

Many media have also launched various reports on this in this week, but most of them are sensational articles, and Xia Yan's fans will not be led astray by these.

But after the sixteen episodes, the ratings soared to 5.98%, which made the entire industry full of expectations.

Seventeen episodes.

Will the seventeen episodes of the rebellious Lelouch break through the 6% ratings?

In late July, after the seventeenth episode of the rebellious Lelouch was broadcast, the plot also successfully entered a new chapter.

The Black Knights led by Lelouch and the Imperial Army of Bunitania are locked in a scorching battle, and with the addition of the prince Hunesel, Lelouch is in crisis.

However, at the critical moment, after Lelouch gave Suzaku the geass order to live, let him die with him first, and took the opportunity to let him escape from the enemy's encirclement with himself, and scattered around this isolated island with Yuphemia, Kalian, and Suzaku.

The plot of this chapter focuses on depicting the brother-sister relationship between Euphemia and Lelouch, as well as the faint acquaintance and love between Euphemia and Suzaku.

After all, before the plot wants to take Yuffie and you Mia under the knife, you must give her a role to be ruthless and accurate.

Lelouch in this work, since the Black Knights led by him integrated almost half of the rebel organizations in the island country, after two months of silence, the Black Knights finally grew into an organization that can compete head-on with the Bunitanian Imperial Army in the island country.

Moreover, in the eighteenth episode, the Black Knights also officially began, preparing to launch a general attack on the Bunitanian army in the island country.

July has passed, and the time has come to August, and Lelouch's animation plot has also entered the latter part of the first quarter.

But all the time, this animation did not break through the 6% mark in the ratings as expected by the outside world, like a magic circle, like a marginal walker, but after the ratings increased to 5.9%, it dangled back and forth on this level.

The eighteenth episode, which has the highest ratings, has reached 5.99%, but after the nineteenth episode is broadcast, it has slipped to 5.92%.

It's been a month, and the rebellious Lelouch hasn't been able to break through this last ratings level for four or five episodes in a row, which has also made many people in the industry feel energetic all of a sudden.

Xia Yan's previous two popular animations, Demon Circle and Edge Walker, are both short winter animations, and the basic ratings broke 6% when they were serialized for about ten episodes, and Lelouch is now twenty episodes, still hovering at 5.9%.

Although this achievement is already very powerful, with the expectations of the outside world for Xia Yan, this achievement is definitely not enough.

"That's it? It's been a month.,I haven't broken through that ratings data.,Is this the popularity of fans of this animation rising to the end? ”

"It's also possible that fans are aesthetically fatigued, Lelouch is an animation, the plot has always revolved around Lelouch's command and operation, and the plot of Xiaoyuan alternates with daily plots. To be honest, after Xia Li forgot about Lelouch, I really think this kettle animation lacks a bit of flavor, maybe it's because I'm Xia Li's party. ”

"But for a month in a row, it has been sent back with an audience rating of around 5.9%, which is honest, Xia Yan may also be under a lot of pressure. Now tens of millions of animation industry practitioners and animation fans in the whole Dragon Kingdom are staring at this work, wanting to see when it will break 6% in ratings, but don't be a little funny if the work doesn't break 6% at the end of the work. ”

"For long-form works, you always have to give some time to accumulate popularity."

"In fact, the ratings have not broken 6%, which is very simple. It's just that the quality of the work is not so high. I'll admit that this animation is really good. But the problem is that there is a clear gap with the magic circle and the edge walkers. Not to mention the subversion of the existence of magical girls from the third episode, the portrayal of main and secondary characters such as Madoka is the main reason for the gods. In the same way, cyberpunk is the same, the world view is new and the old wine is in the bottle, but the character design has nothing to say. But Lelouch's words, I feel that the character creation is also very interesting, but that is, the plot is too child's play and not eye-catching enough. ”

"That's not eye-catching enough?"

"Definitely. Although Lelouch's revolutionary cause is in full swing, all his partners are alive and well, and they are still classmates in a school, taking classes during the day, and at night Suzaku drives a few mechs to fight Lelouch's army, is this war? ”

"Actually, none of this is a problem. The point is aesthetic fatigue. The popularity of Lelouch in the early stage of the plot has grown rapidly because the male protagonist of a cool drama like Lelouch is really charming. But in the future, the plot of this mode is used too much, and everyone will be resistant when they watch the plot of Lelouch strategizing, and they will not be so excited, so the ratings have not been able to rise. ”

"I feel that the plot can't be so dull anymore, the main line of this work is to overthrow the Bunitanian Empire, and I went to fight three episodes in the middle of the person with the ability called Mao, and now it's hard to return to the main line, Xia Yan's old thief has to be angry!"

In August, a month after Lelouch's ratings were crossed, the market's expectations for the ratings of this animation fell, and some idle voices sprung up like mushrooms.

But

Xia Yan put down the report in his hand.

Take a long breath.

It's over.

In the first season of Lelouch, the foreshadowing plots in the early stage were basically over.

The plot of the rest of the episodes in the first season is the reason why this animation is a god in a parallel world.

Lelouch's animation, before and after her death in the Yuffie chapter, is completely a two-level work.

Before Yuffie died, pure cool animation.

After Yuffe's death. The sense of tragedy of the whole work is fully reflected.

In a week or two, anime fans of Dragon Kingdom will be able to appreciate this animation, the beginning of the journey of the masterpiece.
