Chapter 349: Spring
Although Xia Yan is not strictly speaking a person in the circle of film and television stars, with his activity in the Dragon Kingdom in the past two years, his popularity is even greater than those stars.
If a creator only creates one classic work, the vast majority of the audience may not remember him, but people like Xia Yan, who have created dozens of works in the past few years are completely different.
Xia Yan didn't say that his family affairs had to be known to the whole country, but he couldn't hide this kind of thing if he wanted to get married anyway, rather than being exposed by the paparazzi at that time, it was better to take the initiative to announce it himself.
Then, the two-dimensional circle of the Dragon Kingdom collectively shook overnight.
"Married? Didn't he get married without a girlfriend? ”
"Damn, isn't the fiancée he said in the picture he posted the vice president of Xia Tang Animation Company?"
“?”
"But I remember, this vice president wasn't Xia Yan's editor in his hometown province back then, and then he was poached by him to found Xia Tang Animation after he came to the magic capital? How did he become his fiancée. ”
"It's normal, people are so beautiful, they work with the old thief every day, and there's nothing to make a fuss about after a long time!"
"But it was so sudden! I have the impression that the old thief was the same high school student a few years ago, and now he is getting married. ”
"It's not too late to get married at the age of twenty-three, the dragon kingdom is an adult at the age of sixteen, and many people have children playing soy sauce at this time."
"That's it, it's too sudden. I'm a fan of Xia Yan's old thief, he is twelve years younger than me, I am still single, and he got married. ”
"I'm forty years old and single, what do I say, the old thief moves faster after getting married, his child is an adult, he is not yet forty years old."
"People are numb, I said why is the old thief so quiet during this time, not like so many big movements before, it turns out that he is distracted by this."
"Crying to death, our female fans are so uncomfortable now, Xia Yan is married, it's over."
"You look at Xia Yan's old thief's works, is there a difference between female fans and male fans? Whether he gets married or not does not affect the creation of his works. ”
"But many people chase Xia Yan's old thief as an alternative star in the two-dimensional world! Now that he's getting married, isn't that what, the filter is collapsing. ”
"Heh, what does the old thief care? If you have been to the old thief's on-site signing meeting, you will know that he is only good to fans of works, and he has always been very cold to those CP fans, appearance fans and the like. He has a very clear positioning for himself, a pure creator, not a traffic star, and never cares what those people think. ”
"That's right, what does the old thief need to estimate when he gets married? This is his private matter, his parents are gone, he has full control over this matter, we as fans don't need to discuss how his fiancée developed, we just need to bless him. ”
"Xia Tang Animation, Xia Tang Animation turned out to be like this, when the old thief established this company, he probably had an interest in Tang Yin."
"Maybe I liked people when I was in high school, otherwise why would I bring Tang Yin to the company after college?"
"I didn't expect the old thief to still have this kind of character?"
"Bless the old thief!"
"Blessings!"
"He's brought me joy for seven years, and at least today I have to bless him."
"Above, are you sure that his work brings you seven years of joy and not seven years of abuse? There are few good endings in the old thief's works, they are all abusive. ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, besides, I'm going to scold the old thief again, at least today, I still want to give him some face."
"At least today, I still bless him, I can't figure out where those old thief's traffic fans come from, I haven't seen a few of the old thief's works, and I take the old thief's retouched pictures all day long to spread around on the Internet, and the old thief doesn't die at all to mix those stars in the traffic circle! And although he looks handsome, it is not the same style as those noodles and little fresh meat, if you only look at the appearance, there are many people in the entertainment industry who are more suitable for these people, and I don't understand. ”
"But the old thief is talented, and he has a good reputation. The appearance, wind reviews and talent alone are quite average, but when combined, they are kingly fried. Compared with those little fresh meat who can only play handsome and hook up with female fans, this gap is big. ”
Among Xia Yan's fans, the proportion of followers is still relatively small, and some fans can't accept Xia Yan's engagement, and there are also those who abuse Tang Yin on the Internet, but basically they will be scolded back by Xia Yan's true love fans, and they can't make too many waves.
However, after the fan commotion, it was the media in the Dragon Kingdom that began to get excited.
Xia Yan is going to get married, just skip the love stage and get married?
No, it's because he fell in love that he didn't photograph the news paparazzi of Longguo at all.
As the most outrageous person in the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional circle today, Xia Yan's various ups and downs will be widely reported.
Fueled by fans and the media, within a few days, many people in the two-dimensional circle and even the film and television industry knew the news.
There are also endless posts digging up Xia Yan and Tang Yin's past, to be honest, these things have also affected Xia Yan and Tang Yin, but it's just a little bit.
Xia Yan and Tang Yin definitely don't care too much about the media reports, mainly the inside of Tang Yin's house.
Xia Yan and Tang Yin's father have met before, but they basically have no contact, Xia Yan has Xia Yan's animation broadcast, and everyone has their own film and television drama production, and they are very busy with each other.
As for Tang Yin's words, although he told his father about falling in love with Xia Yan, the two have progressed to the point of getting married, and no one has heard of it at all.
So when Tang Yin's father saw the news that Tang Yin, the vice president of Xia Tang Animation, was going to get married on the mobile news software, his first reaction was to be confused.
What? My daughter is getting married, and I, a father, learned the news from the news.
In this regard, Tang Yin was scolded by her father for a few days, and then in the next few days, Xia Yan had to come to apologize and visit the future father-in-law.
Although Xia Yan and Tang Yin are a few years apart, Xia Yan doesn't care, Tang Yin's father won't make a fuss about it, besides, Xia Yan's current Xia Tang animation scale is several times more valuable than the film and television company under his command, and he can't find fault with his career.
Relatively speaking, it's a process thing.
After spending some time getting to know some of the main relatives of Tang Yin's family, Xia Yan also temporarily stopped the turmoil caused by the engagement.
For Xia Yan's fans, the focus of their attention must be Xia Yan's works.
Now, the Hunter has been serialized in the middle of the Greedy Island chapter, and the average sales of manga volumes have exceeded 28 million copies, and if it continues to be serialized like this, it will basically reach the ant chapter, and the Hunter manga will become the first work in the history of the Dragon Kingdom to sell more than 30 million copies per volume.
The steel chain has also entered the later plot of the work, and the final boss of the villain in the bottle has also begun to surface, and the true identity of the father of Edward's two brothers has also begun to be exposed, and now, the ratings of the steel chain have basically come to between 6.7% and 6.8%, but the ratings still want to break through, and it will be interesting to see the operation, most of the two-dimensional fans in the dragon country are the audience of the hunting steel refining, if you want to break the 7% mark and good publicity, the work will continue to have intensive topic points in the near future, and, The plot has to progress to a place that impresses the audience very much, and the combination of many factors may be able to break this ratings ceiling, so in the last two months or so when the steel refining is about to end, Xia Yan and Modu TV1 are also brewing about this matter.
Ascending is a thing that will never stop, and Xia Yan is not sure if anyone in the Dragon Kingdom will be able to suddenly explode into a masterpiece in the future and break his record.
So he now has to pull this ratings record a little higher, and breaking the 7% single-episode rating record is also crucial for the Longguo TV industry, even if it's just one episode. That can also represent the pinnacle of the Dragon Country TV industry, and it is at this time that Modu TV1 cares about this honor.
As for Sword Art Online, it is still being serialized passionately in the UW chapter, and the sales of the single book have not risen, but there is no downward trend, and it remains very stable.
The popularity of the series of cartoons is also very stable, and it has been returning with ratings of more than 6%, but it is basically difficult to compete with works such as steel refining and slam dunk.
There's no way, the pinnacle of Sword Art Online is the SAO chapter, and the next chapters can't be said to be bad, but it's always difficult to give the audience the feeling that the quality of this work is improving, which still has an impact on the ratings.
Of course, after the plot of Mitsui Shou, Slam Dunk entered the main story and began a pure basketball animation journey.
The previous funny disappeared, moved and restrained, leaving the audience with only pure blood.
Slam Dunk from Xiangbei and Xiangyang After the game plot,All the audience is now completely immersed in the blood of the game inside,The first few months of slam dunk is a funny animation,The remarks of bad juvenile animation have all disappeared。
Moreover, the fire of slam dunk animation has also driven the popularity of the basketball industry in the Dragon Kingdom, with various basketball training classes, online shopping basketball, basketball uniforms and other things, and sales have risen a lot compared to last year.
This made many players in the basketball field of Dragon Country, and the surrounding manufacturers not only confused, but also thanked Xia Yan in their hearts.
In the parallel world, slam dunk is a basketball enlightenment animation that affects millions of people, this kind of sports animation, slam dunk, chess soul, football player, are all works that have made millions of people invest in related sports in their respective eras, and now, this trend is staged in the Dragon Kingdom.
In January, after the New Year's Day, the Spring Festival soon ushered in.
Xia Yan spent the Spring Festival with others for the first time since his second year of high school, and he stayed directly at Tang Yin's house during the entire Spring Festival, and got along with his future father-in-law honestly for half a month.
To be honest, it feels pretty good.
After the month of January passed, February came
At the beginning of this month, Xia Yan broadcast the steel refining in a number of works. The plot finally progressed to the climax.
The most powerful existence in the androids, the battle between the Great President and Edward's gang, has finally come offline.
This whole work brings the strongest sense of oppression to the audience, and the IQ and combat power are the lower line of the existence of the ceiling, but it did not make fans feel happy, but in this battle between artificial humans and humans, infinite emotion was born.
Is it wrong to make an artificial man?
Great President, is he evil?
If you were him, what choice would you make?
Such a big president who has done all the bad things, after seeing his life, not many viewers hate him.
And Xia Yan and Modu TV's actions also began.
Xia Yan added additional publicity funds, and Modu TV also carried out high-intensity publicity before the end of the steel refining through offline channels.
Finally, in the second week of February
In order to fight against the final boss in the steel forge, the Philosopher's Stone, and the villain in the bottle, who also wants to destroy the entire country and even the whole time, the Edward brothers and their father Hohenheim fought to the end, but they were still defeated.
Edward's younger brother, Alphons, made the final decision.
Sacrifice your soul, at the cost of your return to nothingness, come to the door of truth, and give everything you have.
Swapped back for his brother Edward's arms and legs.
Edward, the strongest form, the most angry Edward, and Edward, who lost his brother, beats up the villain in the bottle, who is also at the end of the crossbow.
What you want to gain, you have to lose.
Edward and his brother Alphonse spent their lives trying to regain their lost bodies.
Edward's lost body was exchanged for his brother's soul.
The discussion of philosophy in this animation, the sublimation of fate, and the interpretation of this whole soul line, in the later stage of this animation, still shocked the fans of Longguo Steel again.
Although there are still a few episodes to finish, Dragon Kingdom viewers have already felt the breath of the depressing ending of this animation.
"Don't! Don't be like this, old thief, give Alphonse a good ending! ”
"My favorite part of this animation is my brother Alphonse, don't stab him, old thief!"
"I can't accept it, what a plot this is! Brother Alphonse doesn't have to go offline, right? ”
"The old thief's depressed soul is online again?"
"The old thief has made a mistake? The villain in the bottle is at the end of the crossbow, and he still lets Alphonse sacrifice like this, I don't accept it! ”
"I'm crying to death in this episode!"
"Don't be an old thief, I don't want to do the knife, even if these two can't recover their bodies, wouldn't it be good to let Alphonse live behind the armor with his soul? Why do you have to let him die? ”
"What does such an ending mean for Edward? I got my body back, I defeated the villain in the bottle, and then my brother died, what kind of ending is this! ”
"Isn't the old thief a tragedy for the sake of a tragedy?"
"I don't understand, I can't accept it."
"Even if the episode of the old thief makes Edward beat up the villain in the bottle, I can't accept it."
"Let's see what the old thief will do in the next episode, the villain in the bottle is not dead yet, maybe there will be a turnaround."
"The old thief is playing a big chess game?"
"Alphonse's figure sells so well, the old thief won't stab him no matter how he thinks, and the protagonist has been busy for so many episodes, his ideal is to restore his brother's body, you say that if this work ends with the death of his brother, can this work? We watched dozens of episodes of cartoons and finally saw the protagonist's failure in life. An animation can't end like this. ”
That is, Lelouch died because Lelouch finally made the world what he wanted it to be, and although people die, their will will live forever. But if the steel chain wants to let his younger brother die, it will really end a loneliness, making the bold words of the protagonist Edward in the first episode become a clown, and his adventures and journeys in these dozens of episodes have also become a clown. ”
In this episode, the steel refining rating is 6.85%
In this episode, the plot of making Alphonse pay his soul in exchange for his body in order to save Edward really gave the audience a big knife.
And the discussion caused by the plot of this episode is exactly what Xia Yan and Modu TV1 want.
Steel refining this work, will not be too confined to small details, the death of the characters, are tragic and crisp, it is the kind of treatment that is okay to watch the first time, and the more you reminisce, the sadder it is.
To put it bluntly, it is a work with great stamina.
And at the end of the work, Alphonse's sacrifice raises the brotherhood between the two to a new level.
Using Alphonse's death as a gimmick, and using it to promote the steel in the next week, so that the ratings of the next episode will increase again, is the goal of both parties.
Therefore, Xia Yan and Modu TV not only did not stop the heat of this discussion, but also added fuel to the fire, hiring water armies to hype.
And Xia Tang Animation and the official website of Modu TV, at the same time, released some ambiguous smoke bombs to confuse fans, Xia Yan prepared to appear on TV programs three times in a row this week to promote the steel refinery.
At the same time, the penultimate episode and the finale that were originally scheduled will be broadcast simultaneously next week to increase the viewing popularity of that day.
For Xia Yan now, the actions he can do are relatively limited, but what he should do has also been done.
As for the steel ending, it is time to break the results of the Lulouch ending and break through the 7% ratings mark.
Xia Yan took a long breath in the office and looked out the window at the rising sun in February.
It's just tomorrow.
