In fact, because there are indeed too many excellent works that Xia Yan has taken out before, and everyone's expectations for Xia Yan's works are very high, although the steel refining has been unfolding various gods from the beginning of the mid-term plot, everyone has this expectation for the steel refinement, so although the ratings of the work have climbed all the way, and the score of the work has risen from 9.2 to the current 9.8, in fact, its influence has spread well.

In addition, the discussion brought by the Slam Dunk Mitsui Shou plot to the industry is too high, so the process of the steel refining plot going all the way has not received too much media coverage.

But the plot is serialized to the middle and late stages, no matter how fans of Dragon Country and the news media are, they can't ignore the popularity and influence of Steel in the animation industry of Dragon Country today.

And the most important thing is that there is a gap between this work and other two-dimensional works in the market.

Lelouch is powerful enough in this work, but its worldview setting is still flawed, and the plot in many places is more deliberate, Lelouch's performance in the plot is more intelligent and close to the demon, not so much how smart he is, but that his enemies are more or less superimposed in the plot to achieve his image.

And the portrayal of politics and war in Lelouch's plot is not very in-depth.

And the steel refining is better in these aspects, seeing the current number of episodes, the audience of the Dragon Kingdom actually doesn't feel much how strong the protagonist's aura is superimposed on the protagonist Edward in the plot of this work.

Brother Edward is indeed a very powerful alchemist, but there are many more people who are more powerful than them.

The President, Roy, Scar, the Seven Deadly Sins, and many characters who appear in the National Alchemist, in fact, fans evaluate that Edward can't beat them in heads-up.

This work is not so much about the alchemical growth of the two brothers as it is about the world.

There are flesh and blood in it, and there are too many characters that the audience remembers after watching it, and the plot is not far-fetched at all, and the logic of everyone's actions will be presented.

In addition, in the later stage of the work, it also focuses on human nature and desire.

If you want to say how deep the steel is involved in this field in terms of philosophy, it's not necessarily, but in the animation theme, the depth of the steel chain works is a big cut beyond other works on the market, integrating these boring concepts into the moving plot, and then causing this group of two-dimensional people who only like cuteness and selling cute elements even if it's just for a second, to think about life, meaning, future, world and other concepts. That's the beauty of steelmaking.

Those who can't watch it have already abandoned it in the first ten episodes in the early stage, and those who can watch it.

Seeing now, I have completely indulged in it.

Does the weekly episode make them happy to watch?

In fact, it's not cool at all, the plot is getting heavier and heavier, and more and more characters are dying, but it can't be stopped at all.

And at this point in the anime serialization, the fans of the steel chain finally couldn't sit still.

"Brothers, add some oil, support the premiere of Steelcraft more, and let Steelcast surpass Lelouch!"

"The steel refining is not much worse than breaking the Lu Luxiu record again, don't slack off!"

"The old thief is really, I really cried to death, where is the limit of his potential? Before the start of the broadcast, I thought that the old thief had also fallen and went to create a toilet paper anime of swords and magic in another world, but everyone saw it, and I never thought that an animation with this theme could be portrayed with such flesh and blood. ”

"Now that half of the characters of the Seven Deadly Sins are dead, it should soon progress to the appearance of the father in the android group, right? I feel like this animation has also entered the later plot. ”

"It seems that looking at the information on the old thief's official website, the steel refining is the plot length of sixty or seventy episodes, right? It's been almost a year since it was broadcast, and it's been broadcast to fifty episodes, so it's normal to have an end. ”

"To be honest, I actually hope that the steel is finished as soon as possible, as we all know, there is no god in long-form works! But all those works that are gods in the early stage,As long as the number of episodes is long,It's inevitable that all of them will end in the later stage.,I've watched animation for 20 years.,Without exception.,On the contrary, it's those novella animations that are controlled within 100 episodes.,Fans are often very satisfied after the end.。 ”

"The old thief should be able to break this example!"

"It's hard to say, I'm panicking, I'm afraid that the old thief's plot will lead to a decrease in the quality of steel."

"Steelcast is like this anyway, it should be broadcast in a few more months before it ends, but according to this progress, it is estimated that at least one or two hundred episodes will be broadcast."

"One or two hundred episodes, is it so exaggerated?"

"It's such an exaggeration, now that the slam dunk has been broadcast to almost forty episodes, I am still playing with Xiangyang, and after playing Xiangyang, it is estimated that I will have to play with Lingnan, and I will have to play with the Hainan team, if I enter the national competition, it is estimated that I will have to play three or five rounds to enter the finals, and the finals will be twenty or thirty episodes, and I can only say that it is easy to say that the length of two hundred episodes is easy."

"The old thief has created so many works now! It's a little uncomfortable.,There used to be several new works a year.,Now a new work has been serialized for several years.。 ”

"Isn't that bad?"

"Of course it's good, but instead of watching two hundred episodes of slam dunk, I would rather watch fifteen or sixteen short animations like magic circles and cyberpunk!"

"Fifteen or sixteen magic circles. Ah, this? ”

“.”

"I was speechless."

"You're whimsical!"

"If the old thief can create more than a dozen magic circle-level animations, then he probably won't be human, don't be too outrageous."

"I want to see Steelforge break Lelouch's score before the end. I don't want to be used by the other party to talk about the ratings when I quarrel with Lelouch fans in the future. ”

"Steel refining suffers here, the plot is a little heavier, and the audience is not as high as Lu Luxiu's routine."

"Actually, I think Lelouch is better-looking, right? I don't know why so many people say that steel refining is better than Lu Luxiu, so what do you need to say about Lu Luxiu's ending? One word is done. ”

"How do you know that the end of the steel is not more divine than Lelouch? Maybe the old thief has made a breakthrough in steel? ”

"Okay, don't argue, I've been discussing steel refining recently, and there have been more and more remarks about which work is better for Lelouch Demon Yuan, what's there to be noisy about? Aren't they all the work of one author? ”

"It is estimated that by next year, the content discussed at the forum will be whether Slam Dunk is the best animation in the history of the Dragon Kingdom."

"I hope this situation happens every year, that shows that the old thief is still challenging to surpass himself every year, he is only twenty-three water, I don't want him to eat the bottom after reaching the peak like this."

At the end of the year, in the animation industry, fans of Ganglian and Xia Yan's previous works have begun to have a small friction.

Although they are all fans of Xia Yan, they are also divided into factions internally, which Xia Yan has no way to control.

And the same situation also appears in Sword Art Online and Hunter.

Sword Art Online was compared to those god-level gods in the Dragon Kingdom in history.

As for the hunter, although the score is better than the initial D, many fans of the initial D are not convinced.

And the hunter serialization time is long enough, and now that the brigade chapter is over, I am starting to prepare to enter the Island of Greed chapter.

This work has been serialized until now, and even the fans themselves have begun to quarrel.

Who is stronger, Kulolo or Siso?

What is the strength of the other members of the Phantom Brigade in the hunter world?

Who is more powerful, Grandpa Killua or the president of the Hunters' Association.

Xiaojie's father, Jin Zhen's combat power, can Nitro, the president of the Hammer Hunter Association.

Kurapika's telekinesis is used on ordinary people, what level of strength does it belong to?

Similar discussions often arise in long-form works.

There is a lot of chatter about the characters' combat power, etc.

In the parallel world, these discussions are overwhelming on the Internet to the Dragon Kingdom, and this is the same.

And the influence of these long-form works is rapidly spreading under such circumstances.

Xia Yan is not very active in front of fans and the media, but he will still pay attention to the development trend of his works.

Although he is transporting, it is not a whole process of unchanging transportation, and in the works of the island country, many local customs and habits, such as the Japanese-style shrines that will appear inside, will definitely replace the specifications of the Tendo Monarch and the prince in the style of the dragon country

Some notions of what kind of ghost is called Buddhahood will also be replaced.

There is also the custom jokes in the work that belong to the island country region will be directly changed to the Dragon Country version, and the non-main line of the side plot, if the Dragon Kingdom audience unanimously feels bored, they should also be cut.

All the elements in the work are copied in full, and there will definitely be various problems, but the fans have not complained about the serialization of several works that are serialized now, which shows that the audience of the Dragon Kingdom is generally quite adapted to the plot.

This made Xia Yan feel at ease, what he was most worried about was that the national competition in the slam dunk would not be acceptable to the audience in the Dragon Kingdom.

After all, there is no such thing in the Dragon Country, and a larger city in the Dragon Country is larger than the Island Country, and this kind of thing is impossible at all.

As for the serialization of the work until now, the popularity has basically stabilized.

There are arguments between fans, and it's just like the two-dimensional people in the parallel world arguing about who is more powerful in the sea of death, and there is no result in the argument, after all, the two-dimensional works have reached the height of slam dunk and hunters, and it is not all about ratings and sales to measure who has more influence.

Just like the average sales volume of Demon Slayer manga volumes in the parallel world is much higher than that of Dragon Ball and Pirates, but Demon Slayer and Dragon Sea Thief are an influential work? Hunters don't have to beat.

Xia Yan's current works have been serialized for a little longer, but they are actually a bit like the original competition pattern of the sea of dead fire in the parallel world.

As soon as the work grows, the fans will stabilize, form groups, and then compare with each other, argue, communicate, form a specific circle, and then finally get out of the circle.

Of course, it's just a prototype now, and Xia Yan himself knows that the length of the works he is serializing now is actually not particularly long, and it will end in two or three years, so it is difficult to form a stable and huge fan circle like the Dead Fire Sea Dragon Ball in the parallel world.

The purpose is basically to lean on this in the end.

If a world-class big IP wants to be formed, one or two years of serial time is definitely not enough, and the big IPs of parallel worlds such as Dead Fire, Pokémon, Marvel, Disney, etc., all span ten or twenty years, or even nearly a century, before they are finally formed.

Xia Yan also wants to move all these works to this world soon, and then quickly spread these IPs in the Dragon Kingdom and even overseas, however, it takes time to incubate and brew.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan had a wry smile on his face

"Time!" Shaking his head, Xia Yan muttered to himself.

"I'm afraid I won't have to wait until I'm at least thirty years old to have the opportunity to see these IPs shine on the dragon kingdom plane."

Patience is the most important thing.

Xia Yan spent seven years from the age of sixteen to twenty-three to become the number one in the Dragon Kingdom.

And if you want to go from the first in the dragon country to the first in the world, it will take another seven years, and it may not be realized until you are thirty years old.

Moreover, the incubation of these big IPs is the most valuable thing in Xia Yan's creator career.

Summer Animation has been established for so many years, and Xia Yan has come up with so many works, and their copyright value and income add up to a fraction of what Pokémon shows in the parallel world.

After all, it is the only work in the parallel world that has accumulated sales of more than 100 billion US dollars, and the Marvel series is already popular enough in the parallel world, but the Marvel series plus the peripherals, plus the sum of the total sales revenue of the movie, is less than half of Pokémon.

Purely from the perspective of business value, Xia Yan also has to pay these patience and spend a lot of money every year to operate them.

"However, it feels a little boring!"

Since reaching the top of the Dragon Kingdom, he has felt less and less fun in this industry.

There used to be a target, a competitor, a company.

Now, all of that is gone.

No creator in the Dragon Kingdom will challenge him now, and not only now, but when Xia Yan continues to grow in the future, it will be even more difficult to find such an existence.

The kind of honor, reputation and status that others may have to accumulate in the industry for a lifetime will only be obtained, Xia Yan has just graduated from university.

After tidying up his collar, Xia Yan let out a long breath.

He also knows that it must be very ignorant to have this kind of thought, but even if it is a person who plays games, he will hope that there will be some challenging existences instead of all of them fighting miscellaneous soldiers, but unfortunately, in the second metaverse, in front of Xia Yan now, no one can challenge the word.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Yan does feel a little weird, when you can only use breaking your past achievements as proof that you are still improving, then it is true that this industry is less fun for this person.

Looking away from the fans' arguments about his works on the computer, Xia Yan looked at the plans under his hands.

Budget plan for the promotion of the anime and game that will be broadcast next year for Pokémon

The company's screenwriting department is said to have recruited a very potential person, and the planning of his new project has made his subordinates very excited, hoping that Xia Yan can allocate funds to support.

Xia Yan looked at the content of the plan and the script that was submitted, and unconsciously, he was fascinated, and a hint of fun flashed in his eyes, Xia Yan thought about it and signed the plan.

Although Fullmetal Alchemist is still broadcasting, the production of the anime is coming to an end, and before it ends, there will definitely be a big wave of publicity, and the funding for these contents will be approved.

Signed a contract with Slam Dunk's peripheral partners.

The sales of the first volume of animation BD of Tian Yuan's breakthrough.

Steelforge Volume 4 Animation BD Record-Breaking First-Day Sales Report.

If Xia Yan wants to do this, he can completely hand it over to his subordinates, but in that case, he is more like a capital party, spending money to hire managers to run the company, rather than being at the helm of the company's development direction.

Therefore, the necessary time that should be spent on it every day cannot be omitted.

After reading these things and signing the name, the time came to the afternoon.

In December, the temperature plummeted, and the sky was once again covered with fine snowflakes.

Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, Xia Yan felt a little melancholy in his heart.

He knew that the end of the year was approaching, and another year was coming to an end.

In December, the game between Xiangbei and Xiangyang, the slam dunk master, is still in white heat, the first half of this game, it has not been played for almost a month, I don't know how long the second half will last?

Slam Dunk fans are painful and happy, on the one hand, marvel at the portrayal of the characters in the animation and the detailed handling of the game.

On the other hand, I feel that I haven't finished chasing a game for two months, which is really painful.

As for the animation of Tian Yuan's breakthrough, the protagonist has gone from the blue star to the moon and then to the solar system, and even the protagonist's mecha has become as big as the Milky Way. I thought that Tian Yuan Breakthrough and Lelouch were fans of the same type of animation, but at this time, while calling Xia Yan deceitful, I was also moved by Simon's spiral spirit and enthusiasm in the story.

The phrase "My drill can break through the sky!" The lines once became a representative of blood on the Internet.

As for the Tale of Avatars, the ratings have been hovering in the 5% range, but this work quickly attracted the joy of a large number of scrap cute otaku lovers in the Dragon Country.

After all, not all two-dimensional fans like the hot-blooded in-depth animation of steel slam dunk, many people just like harems, waste cuteness, beautiful girl elements, the more brainless the better.

The protagonist and heroine of this work, the shaping and ambiguous relationship between the various female supporting actresses have opened the eyes of these fans, and the popularity of the work has grown the fastest.

At various comic exhibition scenes, cosers who are now characters of Monogatari have also sprung up.

The full-time hunter plot has officially progressed to the island of greed chapter, and this chapter, Xia Yan is expected to take a whole year to serialize.

When this chapter is over, it will enter the top, the most godly, and the most favorite ant chapter of the hunter's work.

Judging from the current progress, Xia Yan hopes to complete the comics of the ant chapter in three and a half years.

As for Sword Art Online. Xia Yan has decided to suspend this work after the UW chapter ends.

Because the memory of Sword Art Online obtained in Xia Yan's mind is also incomplete, at least the plot of Sword Art Online after the UW chapter is not fully presented, so Xia Yan can only suspend its serialization.

But anyway, it will have to be serialized for another year.

So in the whole year ahead, Xia Yan will not make any big moves.

However, at the end of December, the scripts of the animated films of the three works were submitted to the company's employees.

They are Hayao Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle" in the parallel world, Satoshi Kon's "Millennium Actress", and Makoto Shinkai's "Suzuya Totochi".

Xia Yan is just trying to try the market for original animated films.

Howl's Moving Castle is a classic animated movie in a parallel world, and Xia Yan himself likes it, although there are many classic works of Hayao Miyazaki, but Xia Yan still starts animating from this one.

As for Satoshi Kon's millennium actress.

It's a work that makes Xia Yan uncomfortable for a long time after watching it.,It's the kind of work that's the same as the Grave of the Fireflies.,You know it's excellent.,But I just didn't want to watch the second part of the work.,But. It is absolutely qualified to appear in Xia Yan's animated film production plan along with the moving castle.

As for Ling Mei Toji, to be honest, there is a gap with the first two animated movies, but Xia Yan chose it because he was very unhappy watching the original animated movie in some details, but after watching the derivation, I understood a lot of reasons why the plot of the animated movie was handled like that.

To put it bluntly, in order to compete for the theater's schedule, many movies will compress the duration when they are released.

If a movie is three hours long, it is good that a theater can schedule five shows a day, but if a movie is only one and a half hours, the theater can schedule ten shows a day to attract more fans, but the movie ticket price is the same, are you the theater owner? Which work do you like?

Naturally, in order to gain an advantage in this regard, many movies have compressed the duration of the released movies a lot, resulting in ambiguity in the key information of the plot, and in the end, the audience completely felt that the plot connection was blunt and gave bad reviews after watching it.

Lingya's journey, which is considered Xia Yan's animation work in the Dragon Country with his hobby, can naturally be popular, but it can't, and it doesn't hurt.

The day after Xia Yan put down the scripts of the three animated films, after the end of December, the New Year came.

Three days on New Year's Day, the middle-level backbones of the company's animation production department began to study the new script given by Xia Yan at home.

They are all preparing to share the cake and want to compete for the position of project producer of Xia Yan's new work.

And Xia Yan also reunited with his girlfriend Tang Yin, Song Lingyun and Mo Ran, two friends, in his villa for a long time.

After all, the three of them tacitly pushed down their work during the New Year's Day

(End of chapter)
