Chapter 335: New Year

This kind of work is the kind of work that has the right taste, and it will touch your heart crazy in every detail.

Moreover, it is not verbose at all.

With a capable lens, short words, quickly pierce you in the heart.

Just like the second episode, the atmosphere of the whole work is heavy, and it is very different from the popular light-hearted and funny bloody battle animation in the Dragon Kingdom.

The protagonist is a disabled person who has lost his hands and feet, and his younger brother is an anomalous being who has no physical body at all, but whose soul is attached to the steel armor.

But a group of animation fans in the Dragon Kingdom are still easily immersed in the plot.

On the one hand, it is out of trust in the name Xia Yan, and then the plot of steel refining is really touching.

The two brothers' sparring in front of the lake, the discussion of the future of the two brothers, the self-blame for the stupidity of the two of them for causing each other to lose their bodies, and

Both of them have made a decision to become national alchemists, help each other, restore their lost bodies, and use the Alchemy Divine Stone, which can ignore the price, to regain what they have lost from the door.

Under the rendering of the Parallel World Steel Animation Divine Comedy [Brothers].

The second episode came to an end.

Two ten-year-old brothers recovering from a crippled injury.

The only hometown, the home where I lived with my mother for ten years, was burned.

[Even if it is to restore our body, it can't change that we are pursuing the human body refining that is listed as taboo, and if we fail, we may disappear directly into this world next time, and even so, we can't turn back.] 】

[So on the day we set off, we set fire to our home and burned it down. 】

Younger brother Alphonse watched as his home was in ruins in the flames.

In this scene, a sense of tragedy was born in the hearts of the fans of the Dragon Kingdom who watched the steel refining tonight.

My mother died, and my house burned down.

It represents that the two brothers, who are only ten years old, have cut off all their own back roads, and have embarked on a journey to become alchemists and find the Philosopher's Stone.

The plot of the second episode is fast-paced, but it makes anime fans of Dragon Kingdom feel unusually heavy.

Is it good-looking?

Of course, it's good-looking, whether it's the words of the mother and the two brothers before her death, or the forbidden human body refining of the two brothers in order to resurrect her after the death of their mother, or the cruelty of the two brothers who realized the Tao at the end, losing their relatives and hometown at such a young age made these animation fans feel tears.

But

This is the first time in Xia Yan's work that these fans have not scolded Xia Yan for breaking the chapter.

"It's good-looking, but the plot is so heavy!"

"It's a bit like watching the magic circle back then, the cruelty of fate, each has a price."

"Magic Circle's words,It's more like revealing the secret.,Uncover the essence of the magical girl little by little.,Finally improve the worldview.。 And steel, if it's just a direct sentence of alchemist's iron, it's an "equivalent exchange", in fact, those of us who watch the animation won't be touched, I even laughed mentally when I saw this line in the first episode, isn't this nonsense? But it wasn't until I watched the second episode. It's hard to top, the two brothers are so pitiful. ”

"If you really pay the price to become a mother, then it's okay, what are the two brothers refining after paying such a big price? A monster. ”

"It feels like a ball of twisted and corrupt flesh, and I can't bear to look at that picture."

"This is normal, the genetic similarity between humans and pigs is more than 99%, the mother they refined, the appearance is a monster, but take it to test DNA or something, it is estimated to be exactly the same, but the genes that this monster mother may express are different from normal people."

"I don't know too much."

"My understanding is that the two brothers did refine their mother, and the monster is estimated to be exactly the same as their mother's DNA, but the reason why that monster is a monster is that it must present all the bad genes in the genes, such as congenital malformations or something, and that monster has no soul and no memory, but that is their mother, in terms of genetic material."

"That's your guess, not necessarily the old thief's true thoughts."

"Does it matter what the old thief really thinks? You have to have your own understanding when you watch these works.,At least I saw the second episode.,I think this animation can be analyzed from a scientific perspective.。 Alchemists are a group of human beings who exhibit various scientific phenomena in the chemical, biological and physical senses without relying on any scientific equipment. ”

"What an esoteric statement."

"Don't listen to the Internet above, these "people's scientists" are fooling around, just watch animation, what kind of science is it? The people who talk about logic and science in the magical worldview anime are all neurotics. ”

"I'm not interested in the scientificity of these settings, I was moved by the plot anyway, the old thief's portrayal of family affection is really good, and only two episodes of the plot let me watch the tearful animation, and the steel chain is the first one."

"Well, so did I, but on the flip side, I'm relieved when this episode is over. The animation of the old thief,It feels like it's above the level! ”

"I think this animation is very good-looking, but I don't want to watch it a second time, I feel like the plot is so heavy."

"Maybe the plot will be easier later?"

"Haha, indeed, this Douding Edward is indeed a bit funny, the plot is heavy in the early stage, and it is quite possible that it will become a bloody and funny battle animation later."

The broadcast of the second episode of Steelforge was unanimously praised by fans.

Seeing these feedbacks in the market, Xia Yan didn't have any mood fluctuations, and those people in Xia Yan's company took a long breath.

Everyone knows that no one can stay at the top all the time, let alone someone like Xia Yan who has already stood at the top of the animation world.

Any of his new works may become the object of ridicule and discussion by the market because of a little problem.

It's just that the situation is now

Anyway, it's not like steel.

The second episode's 6.1% rating and 9.4 rating illustrate the market's recognition of it.

However, just like the work arranged by Xia Yan last year, in addition to providing scripts to the company's employees and giving his works a certain amount of popularity publicity before the start of the work, Xia Yan tries not to interfere in other aspects.

The main experience is still on the negotiation with partners, as well as the handling of the company's business.

If Xia Yan wants Xia Tang Animation to grow into a world-famous animation production company in a few years, he must focus a considerable part of his efforts on the company's operation and expansion.

But if Xia Yan just wants to become an animation creator who will go down in history, then learn from the parallel world Miyazaki, stumble on the details of his own works, and make a masterpiece in three or five years.

Obviously, Xia Yan's choice is the former.

Therefore, after the steel chain began to broadcast, Xia Yan's focus shifted to Pokémon and Doraemon.

These two works, the former is the largest IP in the two-dimensional industry in the parallel world, of course, the excellent focus of Pokémon is reflected in the game.

Animation, or comics... It's just a spin-off of its gaming domain.

However, Xia Yan's development of this work in the Dragon Kingdom is the opposite.

Game or something, I've already asked my subordinate departments to start poaching people.

But about Pokémon worldview propaganda, books, manga, etc. He also began to let his subordinates recreate.

At that time, he is ready to use Xia Yan's influence to develop in the Dragon Kingdom with Doraemon.

As for this process, it will probably take several years to take effect.

Many people in the Dragon Kingdom don't understand what Xia Yan is doing? Even many employees of the company don't understand whether Xia Yan wants to burn too much money and broadcasts hundreds of millions of dollars a year to the operation department of two works.

But Xia Yan didn't explain, he also knew very well that the national conditions were different, and these IPs that were on fire in the other world might not be popular in the Dragon Country plane

But the two works are in the parallel world, one is worth 100 billion dollars, and the other is close to 10 billion US dollars, and it is impossible for Xia Yan not to try.

If it succeeds, it will be called one to eat ten generations!

Anyway, the company now has billions of funds on its books, and Xia Yan also has the confidence to invest a few years to see the results

And then there is

The slam dunk that will be broadcast in April, Xia Yan's company is now also making a preview in advance.

Mid-January.

It's another Spring Festival in the Dragon Kingdom.

Xia Yan has been in the magic capital for four years, and he has not returned to his hometown a few times.

After graduating from college this time, he went home to stay for a while, and the old house that was mortgaged before was bought back by him long ago, although he basically didn't live in his current situation, but after all, it was a place where he grew up and kept it as a souvenir.

Of course, Xia Yan's hometown this time naturally attracted the attention of the second yuan fans in the city, Xia Yan was a bunch of junior high school classmates, and relatives at home also tried to contact Xia Yan, but Xia Yan went to the junior high school and high school reunion, and became the protagonist of the party and took a photo with his former friends.

But the relatives basically ignored Xia Yan, anyway, Xia Yan repaid all the money his father owed back then, and now he is quite used to no one disturbing his life, and he has been cut off for so many years, and now he is too lazy to continue.

Just him and Tang Yin, it's good.

As for Song Lingyun.

She asked Xia Yan to go out for dinner or something around the Chinese New Year, but Xia Yan didn't avoid it.

But always keep your distance

Maybe Song Lingyun does have other thoughts about him, but he can't control others, just control himself.

It's not that Xia Yan is ruthless or really cares about Song Lingyun, it's just that he cares more about Tang Yin, who has been dating him for a year, what he thinks.

After the Spring Festival, Xia Yan immediately returned to the magic capital.

It's a new year again.

In the past year, Sword Art Online has officially entered the serialization of the UW chapter.

Of course, by this time, Sword Art Online, like the parallel world, has ushered in a lot of criticism from fans.

For example, Grandpa Kirito's appearance does not open a harem, but in fact, he is merciful everywhere.

There are five or six SAO chapters alone, two or three more ALO chapters, another GGO chapter, and UW chapters. hasn't finished serializing yet, and there are one or two suspected heroines.

Sword Art Online, this work, is recognized as a genuine heroine and there is only one, Asuna.

But the inevitable problem with the long story is.

Could it be true that some fans will like to watch couples in their daily lives?

Once the male and female protagonists in the work have determined their relationship, their daily life is equivalent to showing affection, which is equivalent to causing discomfort to fans, especially single readers.

Therefore, in each chapter of Sword Art Online, several new female characters will be introduced, and the protagonist Kiritto will have an affair, but after all, he is just a defeated dog and becomes a member of the harem loser group.

In the Dragon Kingdom, some of the criticism of Sword Art Online began here.

But these remarks basically did not cause fans to abandon the pit.

Anyway, as long as Asuna is a legitimate girlfriend and hasn't changed, other plots don't matter.

Therefore, the sales performance of Sword Art Online's single book has not declined, but it is also very clear

It's already at the top.

The average volume data of more than 28 million volumes has not changed much for more than three months.

Whether it's Xia Yan or Liuli Book Society, they all understand that this is the limit of Sword Art Online.

Even if it is this work, it is impossible to grow in popularity and influence without limit in the Dragon Kingdom.

As for the hunter manga, it's different.

Compared to Sword Art Online, it shows much more potential.

The work of the Hunter can only be said to be good-looking before the chapter of the Phantom Brigade, but this chapter completely opens up the world view of the Hunter.

Let everyone know how imaginative the mindfulness system is, and what a charismatic character the top mindfulness in the hunter comics, such as the leader of the Phantom Brigade, is.

This elegant, cold, cunning, cruel, but handsome character.

In the year since he appeared, he has completely become a popular king in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry.

A villain who directly became the most popular character in the comic book Hunter.

Of course, the head of the group has the same fans as the parallel world, and there are more female fans.

Compared to the rise in popularity of Sword Art Online, the full-time hunter is now doing even better.

Of course, the largest audience in the two-dimensional industry is still in the field of animation, and during the time when Xia Yan went home for the New Year, Steel Refining also broadcast three episodes in a row, and finally ended the plot of how the protagonist Edward became a national alchemist.

It can be regarded as officially entering the main plot.

Relatively speaking, the plot of these episodes is a little lighter, and it is not like the beginning of the steel chain, which will make people feel depressed after watching it.

And by the way, I also introduced the war between the country where the protagonist is located and the surrounding forces, some details of the Philosopher's Stone, and the important characters of the work

Roy.

The president, as well as some of Edward's colleagues in the National Alchemist Organization.

Similarly, Roy's handsome and powerful character has naturally become the popular king of steel since his debut.

Then, in early February

A Sunday that everyone thinks is very ordinary, just like that.

The praise received by this animation in the parallel world is almost the most of all the works that Xia Yan can see from Yuan Qing's memory.

Whether it's the 03 version of the ending made by the animation production team, or the 09 version of the new version based on the plot of the original manga.

They are all masterpieces in different senses.

It can even be said that the 03 version of the production team made its own version, and its animation screenwriting team

Let the screenwriters of the original plot of the anime such as Hokage, Pirates, and Death feel ashamed.

It's not the original plot.,It's bad.,The Battleship Island chapter of the old version of the Hunter's animation,The self-made ending of the old version of the animation of the steel.,It's not the original.。

But steeling this animation, no matter which version, is for fans in the parallel world, or Xia Yan

The first impressive, even unforgettable plot is the part where the synth appears.

Although the plot of this chapter is not complicated and there are no cool fights, it makes people feel very uncomfortable after watching it.

Just tonight, this part of the content will be broadcast.

(End of chapter)
