Chapter 340: Touched

May

The Dragon Kingdom animation world, like the temperature, is constantly rising.

Starting from the seventh episode, the plot of Slam Dunk has finally entered the main line, that is, it has been mentioned from the beginning of the animation, but the audience has watched it for more than a month and has not even seen the plot of the high school national competition qualifiers.

Of course, before the qualifiers, the Xiangbei team where the protagonist "Yin Hanamichi (Sakuragi Hanamichi)" is located will play an exchange match with the Lingnan team that appeared out of nowhere.

The time has entered the two episodes of Slam Dunk that will be broadcast in May, and the plot is about the friendly match between Xiangbei and Lingnan High School.

In fact, the previous sports animations of the Dragon Kingdom were basically a template routine.

The protagonist is a talented athlete, and then an inconspicuous person comes up to trouble the protagonist, the protagonist, slaps the face, repeats this routine.

The audience of the Dragon Kingdom also likes this kind of work, it looks refreshing and does not take a lot of effort, but in essence, this kind of work is the same as the prince of tennis in the parallel world, all the way to the dragon arrogantly pushing everything, and in the end it will fall into a homogeneous routine, and finally become a strange appearance.

So there are a lot of popular sports animations in Dragon Country, but there are too few sports animations that are called classics, and there are only one or two fans who can praise them for decades.

And the slam dunk that Xia Yan made in the summer market directly broke all the possible assumptions of the Dragon Kingdom animation people for sports animation.

The protagonist is a bad teenager, red-haired, loves to fight, his head doesn't look too good, and the woman is very bad A high school student, what is the concept of confession being rejected fifty times?

The reason why I joined the basketball club is just because I want the cute sister of the basketball department.

Such a protagonist is certainly fine in this funny animation, but in basketball animation, the audience can't imagine what his role is.

If it weren't for the fact that the audience of Dragon Kingdom Animation had been slapped in the face by Xia Yan too much in the past few years, I'm afraid that the little blacks would have jumped up.

But even so, many people have actually watched the development of the plot of Slam Dunk until now, and the protagonist is still so stupid, in fact, he is already eager to try.

Just wait for the end of the plot of the exchange competition, and when the slam dunk reviews drop, absorb a wave of attention and traffic from Xia Yan's black fans.

However, after the plot of the exchange match between Xiangbei and Lingnan began, the wind of slam dunk changed, and on the field, Ikebana was indeed still playing treasure as before

But the plot of this anime basketball game

It's really pretty.

Liu Chuanfeng, who only played cool in the previous six episodes, was also ruthless on the field.

The captain of the Xiangbei team, Gorilla Akagi, who is in the center position, at least in the animation, shows a sense of oppression that overflows off-screen.

And as the two pillars of the opponent's team, Xiandao and Yu Zhu (Yuzhu), they are not like other sports animations in the Dragon Kingdom, they are villains who are beaten as fools by the protagonist team

At least, two weeks after the start of the exchange game, the ratings of the slam dunk master once approached the 6% ratings mark, and in the popularity ranking of the characters in the slam dunk, the two characters Xiandao and Liu Chuanfeng directly reached the top as Xia Yan expected.

Of course, they ranked third and fifth respectively in this quarter's popularity list of animated characters.

After all, in the animation that started this season, Edward, the protagonist of Steel, and the protagonist of the initial D, who has a huge number of fans, are ranked first and second, and the popularity of these two people is not comparable to the role of slam dunk that the plot has not yet unfolded.

But at the very least, the fact that Slam Dunk can rank third and fifth in popularity is telling.

Fans of slam dunk have gradually entered the state.

And so it was, and another two weeks passed.

And in the plot of this chapter, everyone thinks that as the protagonist of the basketball newcomer, Hanamichi, he really didn't play at the beginning of the game, but under the funny soft grinding of him and the coach dad, finally, he appeared in the ninth episode of the latest broadcast

The bizarre crotch wrap-around dribble and the exuberant warm-up before going on the court are hilarious enough in themselves, but in this episode

Akagi left the field with an injury in the corner of his eye, Hanamichi came on as a substitute, Hanamichi was ordered in danger, but his mind was blank after he came on the court, and he dribbled mechanically.

This performance of ikebana quickly won the sympathy and substitution of the audience.

After the start of this episode.

"yes, that's how I felt when I first played."

"I empathize, when I was in high school, I represented the school in the city high school table tennis competition, hundreds of spectators were in the position, and hundreds of people coaxed every goal the opponent scored, and I went directly to the court for three minutes and the action was deformed."

"The old thief's portrayal of Ikebana, a basketball novice, is too real, and I think of myself."

"It's been almost four episodes of the old thief's exchange competition, and it's not over yet, but I still think it's getting better and better, is this normal?"

"It's weird to have a basketball game that lasts 40 minutes, but the animation depicts it for almost two hours."

"But it should be soon, after all, an exchange match will definitely not occupy too much plot space. One animation broadcasts eleven or twelve episodes in a quarter, and the summer market for the old thief slam dunk is almost over, and the exchange game hasn't finished yet, which is really too slow. ”

"But Liu Chuanfeng really didn't give Ikebana face, and when he saw Ikebana's stiff movements, he actually gave him a kick directly."

"This is the catfish effect, Liu Chuanfeng is the catfish in the ordinary fish school, so that Hanamichi is stimulated and works hard. The stiff movements after coming on the court did not disappear, but they were attracted by Liu Chuanfeng's attention, and they would not pay attention to the pressure on the court. ”

"Compared to the previous protagonists, the ikebana of basketball is actually more interesting."

"Looking at it like this, this animation should be preparing to portray Ikebana as a skilled basketball god from the basketball novice period"

"I thought that this kind of funny male protagonist sports animation should not be too good-looking, but in fact, seeing it now, I am more and more attracted to the plot."

"The main thing is that the funds are bursting, the basketball camera scenes, pictures, and storyboards of the slam dunk are really handsome, even more handsome than watching the actual basketball league."

"If I draw a little more basketball plot in the future, and create less life from the position of a bad boy in ikebana, I feel that this animation will definitely be a hit."

A few weeks after entering the friendship plot with Lingnan, the fan base and the plot discussion about slam dunk on the forum have changed from what other funny routines are in the flower arrangement to the plot of the basketball game, the victory and defeat, and the role of the flower arrangement in the game.

Slam Dunk and Steelcast are actually the kind of works that are slow and hot.

However, the first few small chapters of Steel Refining are too deeply rooted in the portrayal of human nature and character building, and these plots have helped Steel Refining shape the world view, although the plot is slow and hot, but it can greatly retain the audience.

Therefore, from the beginning of the broadcast to the present, the ratings have not fallen out of 6%.

Even as the plot keeps progressing, there will be a small increase every week, which is very stable.

The opening plot of Slam Dunk is strictly a bit scattered, but anyway, these plots have been completed, and now after entering the main line, fans immediately discovered the shining point of this animation, and it only took a few weeks for the reputation of Slam Dunk to have a small reversal.

Of course, those who were waiting to see Xia Yan's jokes were disappointed at this time, but they could only continue to lurk, and they were also afraid of the combat power of Xia Yan's true love fans.

As the chairman of Xia Tang Animation Company, Xia Yan pays attention to the popularity development of Slam Dunk every day, and after the animation entered the friendly match plot, his social account also became active, and he often replies to fans' questions in the comment area.

And I also consciously started to be on TV shows in late May to help Slam Dunk promote it.

He wants to be a complete shopkeeper and be his chairman, but the company can't leave him now.

In this case, the month of May ends.

June is coming.

The prediction that everyone in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry predicted that the plot of the exchange match would end soon was completely wrong.

This exchange competition was broadcast from the end of April to the beginning of June

It's not over yet.

After Akagi left the field due to injury, he simply bandaged and played, Ikebana soft grinding hard bubble coach dad let him play, and finally played in the second half but because he was too nervous and then on the field was a complete side effect, he only recovered after Liu Chuanfeng stimulated, and then, it was on the court that he showed his proud bouncing ability and strong speed and athleticism.

It is very cool for the audience.

finally

waited until the day of the eleventh episode, which started broadcasting in early June

Xia Tang Animation launched a big promotion on the official website, and clearly said to fans that the plot that started tonight would end this battle.

And Modu TV1 is also promoted as a highlight in TV commercials.

As for the fans of Slam Dunk, it is certainly needless to say, basically everyone is waiting for the arrival of the evening with anticipation.

"Actually, seeing it now, I really can't tell where the animation of Slam Dunk is good, but it's just chasing and chasing, and I can't stop."

"Me too, anyway, I feel that time flies very quickly in the process of watching it, and I can talk for twenty minutes in a one-minute basketball time animation. But the more I look at it, the more I look up, and I can't stop at all. ”

"I don't take live basketball games so seriously, and this game between Xiangbei and Lingnan makes me nervous to death."

"It's so different from the previous sports-themed Long Aotian actors, but I think Ikebana makes me like it even more."

"Anyway, just look at it now.,Slam Dunk this animation, I think it may not be as good as the hunter.,Initial D.,But it's definitely a high-quality animation.,It's that the rhythm of the plot in the early stage is better, maybe the popularity will be much higher than now.,The funny style of the protagonist in the early stage For those animation fans who just want to watch the sports plot,Many people insist on a week or two and are dissuaded."

Before the start of the slam dunk, the forum was hot.

Before the animation started, the fan base, the forum, and there was a silent vacuum period.

On the first Saturday of June, Slam Dunk in Dragon Kingdom is the eleventh episode.

There are two minutes left in the game.

The offensive and defensive battles in northern Hunan and Lingnan have entered a white heat.

And twenty seconds before the end of the game, Xiangbei was still one point behind, but Liu Chuanfeng had the ball, and one person took the ball past the four people opposite

At the critical moment, Liu Chuanfeng subconsciously passed the ball to the nearest player on the field

It wasn't until he passed the ball that he found out that this person was the flower arrangement he hated the most.

And ikebana.

After getting the ball, he ran to the basket desperately, and then

Jumped high, took the ball in the palm of his hand, and dunked to the basket in all kinds of ways.

This scene

How does Xia Yan like to watch the animation while watching the animation, and the fans in the fan group are holding their breath.

What is classic motion animation?

That's every game that the protagonist goes through, and the audience is fully engaged and immersed in watching it.

It's as if you're not watching an anime, but as a friend, parent, relative, or even yourself as the characters in the anime. Gallop on the playing field.

And the episode of Slam Dunk, the last two minutes of the offensive and defensive battle plot, made the audience in the Dragon Kingdom experience this feeling.

Nervous and heartbeat. And then

As Ikebana jumped high and fell, the ball he threw into the basket.

The game came to the last ten seconds, and the score of this game came to 85:86.

The protagonist Hanamichi, with his hands on his hips in a fit of triumph, showed his smiling face as the hero of this must-have game to everyone present.

The audience also watched it refreshed, and at this time, they felt that the proud face of Ikebana was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

It's just that

The game is not until the last minute, and there is always suspense about the outcome of the game.

Lingnan team's ace Xiandao, in the last few seconds, in the Xiangbei team because of the ikebana lore and relaxed, and even half-time "open champagne", a few seconds of celebration, a person dribbled across the field, even the three members of the Xiangbei team reacted to the encirclement and interception, and killed the Xiangbei team, the score was fixed to 87:86.

In the animation, the cheers of the students at the home stadium of Lingnan for their home team were deafening, reflecting the unwilling and painful expressions on the faces of the players of the Xiangbei team, but they had to accept it.

Opening champagne at halftime, this kind of thing that only appears on the villain, actually appeared in the protagonist team of Slam Dunk.

But although the audience looked aggrieved, they didn't know who to blame.

Akagi, Liu Chuanfeng tried their best, and the other two members of the Xiangbei team were obviously playing soy sauce, and the ordinary members of the group did not hold back, but don't expect them to stand up.

Hanamichi, a novice who has been learning basketball for less than a month, contributed several rebounds in the second half, and made a shot in the last 20 seconds, and with his character, getting carried away after scoring a goal is his personality.

uncomfortable

uncomfortable

However, the viewers who saw the last plot of this episode can also clearly perceive that in their hearts, in addition to the uncomfortable emotions before, there is also the sound of the heart beating at an accelerated pace after holding their breath for a few minutes before, and now after relaxing.

The plot is very uncomfortable to watch, because it is completely substituted into the perspective of the players of the Xiangbei team.

Now the heart is pounding, and it proves it.

A fictional world, a fictional country, and a fictional high school basketball game made them look fascinated like this.

Many long-time anime fans have already noticed that something is wrong with this anime.

And at the end of this episode.

Ikebana roared unwillingly on the field.

[Pass! Pass the ball! I feel like the game is over in 10 seconds, pass it to me! 】

And the captain Akagi walked up to Hanamichi and whispered the sentence.

[Ikebana, we lost! ] 】

He was unwilling to regain the basketball on the basketball court, but he fell directly to the ground, and when he looked back, he found that the cloth shoes he was wearing had been stepped on by him and directly pierced. In the end, it was so uncomfortable that he hit his head on the floor of the basketball court.

It's okay if you're unwilling, but there's no way, that's the reality.

Even if you just feel that you have won in the last ten seconds and do not pay attention to guarding against your opponent, but others just seize the gap of these ten seconds and complete the counter-lore, which is also a manifestation of strength.

Teary-eyed

Watch the cartoon ending song rise.

Many viewers who have watched Slam Dunk for ten weeks and eleven episodes of animation have red eyes.

When I used to watch sports games, I didn't understand what those people were crying about when they lost, what was there to cry about, wasn't it just a game.

But for now.

Ten minutes after the end of the Slam Dunk episode 11 anime.

"Brothers, tears broke down."

"Me too, after reading it, my back was full of cold sweat. And then there is the feeling of being unwilling and wanting to cry, what a pity. ”

"It's like only one point missing the class exam and winning the second place, this is the most uncomfortable, being killed by someone else's chicken, I'm really angry!"

"What are you angry about? It's not you who go to the game. ”

"But it's just gas! But I can't find anyone to blame, whether it's ikebana, Liu Chuanfeng, they all tried their best, Akagi injured the corner of his eye, Liu Chuanfeng's leg ran to cramps, the two ordinary players didn't c, but there was no pit, Hanamichi A basketball rookie contributed several rebounds and a pitch, and he also worked hard.. It's the last moment of celebration. Alas."

"That's the beauty of basketball."

"In the end, I couldn't hold back the scene of Hanamichi unwilling to smash my head on the floor, my school football team, after we were defeated by the opposite side in the last few minutes of the game, I was also in this mood, and I wanted to slap myself in the face and empathize."

"I'm angry when I don't exercise, I can only say that the plot of the old thief creating a sports game is really top, and the game of the protagonist Long Aotian hanging the opponent in the sports animation I watched before is not at all a level of tension."

"I always thought that basketball was not fun if no one played in Dragon Country, but after watching the game in this animation, I found it very interesting, this sport."

"Don't, there is still a difference between animation and reality, in the animation, these characters are very handsome to see in the layup, and in reality, if you play by yourself, you don't stick to the iron, haha."

"I'll go.,If the animation behind the old thief is this kind of exciting game plot.,Then I'm going to blow up this animation!"

"I've already started to blow.,The old thief should have entered the plot of the basketball game a long time ago.,The first six episodes of the plot of painting ikebana everywhere are not bad.,But it's too much off the main line.。 Especially with the head of the judo club, the two of them can argue for a whole episode about whether Ikebana should quit the basketball club or not, it's too watery. ”

"But it was the plot of the previous episodes that shaped Ikebana into its current image! Maybe the plot of these episodes is not very relevant to the main line, but it is still very important for the character creation of ikebana. ”

"It's true, if you think about it carefully, the old thief may just want to set up the setting of the person Ikebana through the plot of the previous episodes, and then enter the main story line to play basketball, although it dragged on a bit, but it's not a big problem, I'm impatient with other people, and I still have it for the old thief."

At the beginning of June, the end of the Slam Dunk Exchange Chapter made the reputation and popularity of this work rise greatly.

At least, the animation audience of the entire Dragon Kingdom knows that the animation of Slam Dunk, no matter how much the old thief likes to create the position plot of the bad boy who fights in the flower arrangement, but its basketball game plot is so good-looking.

From here, the development curve of Slam Dunk animation in the Dragon Kingdom animation market has slightly appeared a turning point upward.

Last night's update didn't change.,I'm embarrassed to say any reason.,Because I really didn't have anything to do last night.,The author also has a time code word.,But last night it was just a simple card that was too serious.,I can't code it out.,And I don't know when the state will get better today.,I can only pretend to be dead.。

So I'm sorry.
