Chapter 332: Propaganda and the End of the Year
Although the works of magic, alchemy, other worlds, crossing, braves, demon kings, and elves are too widespread in the Dragon Kingdom, everyone is already aesthetically fatigued, but if the author ID of Fullmetal Alchemist is Xia Yan
Then everything is different.
Rao Zhijun quickly turned on his computer and logged in to the official website of Xia Tang Animation.
As for why you should use a computer instead of a mobile phone, it is purely because the computer screen is large and the viewing effect is better.
And then
Rao Zhijun clicked on this teaser trailer.
A little look at the information on the webpage displayed in the video, at 5:20 a.m., the number of people watching this video online at the same time was 170,000
I secretly stumbled on Xia Yan's terrifying popularity in my heart, and soon, Rao Zhijun was attracted by a low and sad BGM voice.
Steel Temper This work, the original work is a manga created by Hiroshi Arakawa in the parallel world, and it has two versions of animation in the parallel world.
The old version of the steel chain because in the animation serialization period,The comics have been interrupted for various reasons.,The animation plot catches up with the comics over time.,So its ending is original by the animation production team.,The later fa version is made completely according to the ending of the comics.γ
But on the two versions of the anime's music. Xia Yan personally thinks that the old version is much stronger than the new version of the animation.
Especially the old version of the classic episode "Brothers".
Xia Yan was directly placed in this teaser video.
A soothing and slightly sad tune sounds
Rao Zhijun's heart froze.
Although there are a lot of animations with magic themes in the other world, most of them are funny themes.
The kind of animation that purely portrays the combination of worldview, fighting, politics, and superpowers is rare, or almost none.
And the first frame of the teaser animation of Steel Forge is a bright red text emerging.
[If you want to get, you have to give!] γ
The next picture is a passage, accompanied by a woman's voice-over.
[The materials required for human training, 25 liters of water, 20 kilograms of oxygen, 4 kilograms of ammonia, 1.5 kilograms of lime, 800 grams of phosphorus, 240 grams of salt, 100 grams of saltpeter. γ
A simple paragraph, but it is a life for the components of the human body.
As a science student, Rao Zhijun can immediately understand the meaning of this passage.
Is this what makes up of human beings?
It's so simple.
If you just buy raw materials, you shouldn't need more than 1,000 dragon coins.
Then the screen turns, and there are two little boys holding this pile of materials in their hands.
The two men looked at them with longing in their eyes.
Materials made from the human body.
Combined with the previous narration, Rao Zhijun roughly understood what the two little boys were doing in the story?
The human body is refined, the alchemist of steel?
So, this is the two little boys who are going to make a human out of this pile of materials?
Rao Zhijun's eyes lit up, this idea is okay.
But immediately she thought of another aside-by-side text.
What do you want to get, what do you have to give?
emmm
It's a little subtle!
The picture doesn't give any more explanation here, and immediately a flash comes to another perspective.
A magnificent kingdom, a national group of alchemists, a one-eyed president, a boy with a steel arm, a character hiding in an iron-shelled armor, a handsome man who can make a space explode with a flick of his fingers, a vicious man with a scar on his head, and a big fat man who only knows how to eat
Humans who died in war, alchemists with all kinds of strange abilities, and young people with superb physical skills who can move and jump through space at ghostly speed
These characters appear in the field, some will have a line or two, and some will be a handsome battle scene.
In the end, the picture freezes on a dog with melancholy eyes
Its eyes said to Rao Zhijun in front of the camera.
[Big brother! γ
The voice seemed to be filled with sadness.
In the end, all the pictures were closed, and the blood light that rushed to the sky went straight to the sky, and finally the red light condensed and turned into a red and beautiful crystal.
[Fullmetal Alchemist] freezes in a few big characters.
Rao Zhijun's pupils were still touched by the flashes of those pictures just now and the BGM that was obviously a sad song.
A trailer basically can't tell the plot of an animation, but the trailer allows fans to determine the general type, style, painting style, and production level of the work.
Each episode of it is produced in the quality of animated films, and the production budget for two episodes may be the production budget for more than a dozen episodes of many small and medium-cost cartoons.
Funding will bring qualitative changes to the presentation of the picture.
Rao Zhijun's feeling when watching this trailer is not that the setting of this work is good or how interesting the world view is.
What can be seen in just a trailer?
But the most direct feeling that this trailer gave Rao Zhijun is. Eye candy.
The music is perfect, and the picture is even more explosive-level picture quality.
The voice acting of the character voice actors is also full of emotion, and of course, the main thing is the atmosphere of the work presented in the trailer.
In this way, Rao Zhijun is very sure that this work is not a clichΓ© plot of the demon king of another world, it is not a girl brave, and it is risky to be cute and funny
It's the kind of work that seriously constructs a world and then tells a good story in this worldview.
After perceiving this, Rao Zhijun suddenly came to his senses.
Again, click on this trailer and watch it frame by frame, hoping to find the general setting of this work before the anime starts.
And there are many people who have the same idea as Rao Zhijun.
After six o'clock in the morning, Xia Tang Animation official website was like a New Year, and before dawn in most parts of the Dragon Kingdom, these people had already started a crazy discussion.
On the hot search list of major two-dimensional forums.
[Xia Yan's new work preview! ] γ
Related entries reached the top of the list strongly.
"So this work is the kind of bloody combat type, not a treasure farming funny animation from another world?"
"It looks like this."
And the final picture of the trailer is to a dog and a rock, and it seems that this dog and stone will be the key to this work. Could it be that this dog and stone will be the big boss of this work? β
"Well, although it's weird that this dog can talk, it's normal for the alchemist's world to have talking magic dogs."
"It's just throwing it that makes me feel strange.,The two little boys at the beginning should be the male protagonist, right? Why did the two of them grow up with iron hands and the other with iron skins! Prosthetics? Could it be a combination of otherworldly magic and cyberpunk elements? β
"Cyberpunk? It's not so high-tech, you look at the train in the trailer, what? Steam engine trains, if you really want to say steampunk, it might be more suitable. Neat punk, for example, steam-powered steel arms and armor are still possible. β
"So the magic animation of the steam engine era? It's a little weird. β
"What's weird? Isn't that good? I think it's funny. β
"In the entire one-and-a-half-minute animation trailer, there are thirty-one characters, and I feel that there are a lot of characters in this work!"
"Don't worry, it's said that the Fullmetal Alchemist has more pages than Lelouch, and there are only a few dozen characters? What's so much about that? β
βοΌ How long is the steelcast? Lelouch has a total of fifty episodes in two quarters. β
"Maybe the old thief is preparing to make the steel smelting into a big length."
"Ahhhh It's so uncomfortable, old thief, you might as well not release this trailer, it's still a month before it starts, so why should I wait? β
"Although the Sword Art Online animation is still on the air now, I've seen the UW chapter of Sword Art Online, and I've seen all the animation plots in it, so I don't have much image, alas, I hope the time is too soon, hurry up to January."
"Support the old thief, in fact, looking at his work, it may be another masterpiece of quality not inferior to Lelouch."
"Don't milk, don't milk. Lelouch is already a palace-level work in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.,Although I'm an old thief fan.,But really,Don't expect too much from this new work to surpass Lelouch.,Think about it for yourself.,A work that occupies the first place in the history of various data in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.,How could it be inexplicably surpassed? If the work of the old thief can have six or seven percent of Lelouch's results, and the ratings can reach 4.5%, or even more than 5%, it will be enough. β
"That's right, everyone knows for themselves, how could it be so easy to be overtaken, that's Lelouch! As long as the quality of the old thief's new work is too poor, I will support him. β
"Speaking of which, the old thief has so many animations, and the opening ratings of the flower name are the lowest, right? It seems to be in the early 3% back then.,Actually, if the old thief can have an unheard of name in this new work.,I think it's okay.γ β
"Don't look down on unheard of flower names so much. Unheard of the name of the name of the first did not invest, the second did not have a big publicity, the broadcast on weekdays, or the second-tier TV broadcast, can have a 3% rating in the current quarter, it is enough to the top, put it now, I think with the blessing of the old thief's popularity, the name of the unheard of the name at least 4% or even 5% of the ratings above. β
"So the old thief's current popularity bonus really has too much impact on his works, and the works of other creators can't compete with the old thief at all."
"People's popularity has also been accumulated little by little before, and those who feel that the popularity of the old thief has given him a big bonus to his works, and it is naturally unfair to compete with the old thief, and no one has stopped them from accumulating such a huge number of fans of their works with their historical works."
"That's it. I admit that with the old thief's current popularity, there may only be 3% of the ratings of the quality of the work, and his name can easily reach 4% of the ratings, but this is also a human ability, for you can reach the top in animation, comics, and all three major fields, so it's not too late for you to complain. β
"Fullmetal Alchemist in January, Slam Dunk in April, Tian Yuan Breakthrough in July, and Avatar in October. I don't want to spend a day at the end of this year, let's end it in December! β
Although Xia Tang Animation Company didn't spend much money on marketing, the hot search of the trailer of Fullmetal Alchemist still became a hot search topic on major websites in the Dragon Kingdom after the sky was brightened.
Most of the young people who get up to work in the morning sigh involuntarily after swiping the relevant information in the bus and subway in the car.
Xia Yan, when will his creative inspiration run out?
Most of the creators who can be canonized as gods in history are either new works like constipation after becoming famous, and it is rare to hold back one in a few years or even ten years.
or retire directly, fearing that you will be ruined.
But like Xia Yan, Lu Luxiu has only been completed for less than half a year, and the top creator whose new work is about to be broadcast again, is the only one in the Dragon Kingdom.
High yield, high quality, hard work, rich and handsome
It is no wonder that Xia Yan can accumulate such popularity in the industry.
Xia Tang Animation Production Company.
The company's six production teams have also been a little nervous this month.
The scale has developed to the level of Xia Tang Animation, and it is no longer that kind of small studio.
Animation studios can spend a few years slowly working on new animations, but Xia Tang Animation cannot.
The annual salary of employees is hundreds of millions, and the company has to keep coming out with new works, making money, and then making new works, and then making money, all the way to development.
After Lelouch's great success, everyone was happy and brilliant for a few months, and now, after the initial excitement has subsided, it is extremely stressful.
The entire Dragon Kingdom, tens of millions of animation fans, and hundreds of thousands of peer practitioners, are staring at hundreds of them, wanting to see Xia Tang Animation, what kind of development curve will there be after Lu Lu is finished?
If you can still come up with animation close to Lelouch quality, it won't be long before Xia Tang Animation can catch up with and even surpass the three major animation companies in Dragon Country and become the first animation production company in Dragon Country.
On the contrary, it may be that the three major animations united with a group of peers in the industry who have been suppressed by Xia Yan in recent years, launching a counterattack against Xia Tang Animation and continuing to defend their position in the industry.
And except for Xia Yan, who has extreme self-confidence in the steel refining, the others
Including the members of the company's production team, all of them are very empty-minded.
They don't worry about steelmaking hitting the streets.
In terms of Xia Yan's current appeal, no matter what you say, there will be a large number of die-hard fans who are willing to brainlessly support his works, unless you come up with three or five bad works in a row, maybe these works will have low ratings, but just judging from the market sales data and ratings data, it is impossible to lose money.
Their concern is that the results of the work will not be as good as expected.
Lelouch and Cyberpunk both have 6% ratings, so this is the work with the highest investment in Xia Yan's animation production career
No matter how you say it, you have to have a 5% rating.
But even if it is a 5% rating, it is already a height that no work has reached in the past five years, except for Xia Yan.
To be honest, everyone has this mentality, standing at the top of the peak, afraid of falling.
Confidence in Xia Yan is one thing, but the famous saying that prosperity must decline, and after the peak is downhill, it is also naturally convincing.
Psychologically ambivalent.
It's just that Xia Yan didn't bother to help the group of people in the company do any psychological counseling.
Time enters the first season of the Sword Art Online anime in December.
It's almost coming to an end.
The Dragon Kingdom version of the Sword Art Online animation,There are not many things that have been deleted.,More than 20 episodes have been produced in the SAO chapter alone.,And the ALO chapter has also produced more than 20 episodes.,The content is very likely to be retained.,Therefore,This work will not be until December.,Even the first season hasn't ended.γ
But it's been serialized for more than half a year, and Sword Art Online has finally reached its own end after the first season of animation, after helping the light original work to increase its sales by four million volumes.
In the last episode of the first season, the ratings were 6.35%, and on that day, the Dragon Kingdom animation industry was collectively boiling.
After the end of the first season of Sword Art Online, Xia Yan had no scruples, and officially started the animation broadcast and promotion of steel refining within the scope of the Dragon Kingdom.
It's different from the previous teaser video promotion, so mild.
This animation Xia Yan has invested so much in production funds, and he will definitely not be stingy in publicity
It's only on the third day after the end of the first season of the Sword Art Online anime
All corners of the two-dimensional industry in the dragon country.
The propaganda of steel refining is overwhelming.
