301. Traversers are not afraid of fair competition
On April 6, 1997, the second season of the anime "CLANNAD", adapted from the game of the same name by Kyoto Animation and Pokeni Games, was broadcast on TV Tokyo in episode 21, which is the penultimate episode.
At the same time last year, the first episode of "Clannad" was aired and received a huge response.
Countless viewers have said that they have never seen such a warm, funny, and touching cartoon.
At the end of the first season, the male protagonist Tomo Okazaki also lives with Nagisa Furukawa, and the two of them are not too sweet.
Although there was also a touching route like Fengzi in the middle, which made many people cry, but overall, the finale was good and very warm.
The plot with warm daily life, high school campus life, plus a variety of interesting characters, and an ordinary and cheerful story has undoubtedly been recognized by the audience.
So everyone is very much looking forward to the second season of CL's anime.
However, after the second season aired, the audience was dumbfounded.
Those who have played the game can say that the audience who has not played the game is not psychologically prepared at all, and they are directly stupid.
Not long after the start of the second season, the plot of the anime is like riding a rocket, and it is speeding up.
Tomo Okazaki not only lived in Nagisa Furukawa's house, but the two even got married.
Married!
Can you believe this?
Furukawa is still a high school student who has not graduated, and although he is older than Tomo Okazaki, it seems that there is no need for the two of them to get married so early.
However, the content of the first few episodes is quite normal, at least to satisfy the audience.
is married, and has a warm daily life.
In the blink of an eye, the heroine was actually pregnant, and even had to give birth.
makes the audience can't help but have some doubts about life-
What is Pokeni doing, is it necessary to make the time schedule so fast?
When you have children in the future, do you still want to broadcast their whole lives in cartoons, where is the length of time?
From high school all the way to old men and old ladies, this is too scary.
However, the audience only guessed half right, that is, it did broadcast the life of Nagisa Furukawa,
Because she died not long after giving birth to the child.
He's dead!
Can you believe it?
On the day of Nagisa Furukawa's death, it was raining heavily throughout Tokyo.
Countless players want to send blades to Kyoto Animation, and the person in charge of Kyoto Animation, Massaharu Kigami, said, "We are based on the original game by Pokeni, and we are absolutely faithful to the original."
So the blades were sent to Pokeni Co., Ltd.
This is called the unjust debtor, and even the signature on the envelope is [Guyuan Tsubaki]
Of course, as a script writer, Jun Ma Zhi did not escape the catastrophe.
Although Jun Aeda said that CL was completely a game outline made by Furuhara-sensei, he just wrote this thing.
Polished a little, as for it?
But the audience doesn't care about any of that at all.
……
After the death of Furukawa Nagisa,,The male owner lives alone with his daughter.,In order to let the child grow up smoothly.,Take care of the family.,The male owner is also working hard.。
At the same time, he also tried to forget the pain of Nagisa Furukawa's departure in this way, paralyzing his fragile and sensitive nerves.
In the follow-up story, it is actually slowly developing in a good direction.
Especially after returning from a trip with his daughter, Tomo Okazaki also understood his father, and the family was reunited and lived happily.
Life was difficult, but everyone worked hard.
As long as the family is still around, then everything is fine.
And in the recent anime, things are getting more and more wrong.
Shio had a fever, and it burned for several months.
Terrible.
Countless viewers were worried about this.
Many viewers called Kyoto Animation directly to threaten Kigami Isaharu, and they also cared about the follow-up plot.
Kigami, who couldn't bear the pressure, couldn't help but stand up, saying that the finale of the anime must be a happy one, and they are completely adapted according to the original game, and there must be no problems.
Only then did everyone believe his nonsense.
……
Tonight, episode 22 will be played.
In the evening, Furukawa Hirosawa and his girlfriend Junna Yukitake nested at home and watched the content of episode 22 on time.
Because he had already played the game, Furukawa's whole body was almost unbearable, and his tears kept rolling, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Junna Yukitake next to him also noticed his abnormality, "What's wrong?" Didn't Superintendent Kigami promise that the end of CL's second season would be a happy ending? ”
"Hmm." Furukawa Hirosawa nodded vigorously, "I've played the game, and it's indeed a happy ending. ”
But the question, this is not the last word.
Who knows if Kyoto Animation put that hope at the end of this episode?
However, the thought of what happened in the game makes Hiroshi Furukawa a little sour.
Not good!
Tears are about to fall.
It's actually fine when I'm alone, but now I'm in front of Junnai, and it would be too embarrassing for her to see me crying.
Among the TVs:
Xiaoxi's high fever continues to go away, and Peng also has to earn money to support the family, so he can only ask Sanae to take care of his daughter, and he comes back every day to care about his daughter's condition while working hard.
Unfortunately, nothing has improved, and the situation has deteriorated.
By the time winter came, it was obvious that Xiaoxi could no longer hold on.
In such a situation, the male protagonist Tomo Okazaki is also ready to take Xiaoxi to where she wants to go and go on another father-daughter trip.
If that's the case, she'll be happy, at least she'll be in a better mood, and her condition will definitely get better, right?
Snowflakes fluttered and spread a thin layer on the ground.
"Xi, can you still go?"
"Uh-huh......" Xiaoxi replied in a faint voice.
But at this moment, Xi let go of Tomoya's hand and fell into the snow.
"Tide!"
The male protagonist quickly knelt down and held her in his arms.
There's nowhere to go.
Shio closed his eyes and just gasped for air in pain.
……
"Dad. Right now...... Where is it? ”
Tomoya cried, "In the train." ”
"Oh...... Father. Xi said in a barely audible voice.
"Hmm."
"Dad, I like you the most."
Peng also heard his daughter's words, and he couldn't cry anymore.
"Me too, my dad too, I also like Xiaoxi the most."
At this time, large snowflakes fell.
This is a scene that can only be seen in dreams.
Time freezes in this moment.
The sensation is fading away from your fingertips.
The line of sight gradually dimmed.
……
This episode is over.
It's good, Xiaoxi is dead.
Furukawa sighed.
Although he had played this game countless times and knew all the endings, Furukawa Hirosawa still cried miserably when he saw the content of this sentence again.
The whole person collapsed and cried.
A handful of snot and a handful of tears.
Junna Yukitake next to her cried even more.
"Hao Zejun, promise me that even if I am not there in the future, you will live well, okay?"
"Ah, hey, please don't say such strange things, okay?"
……
After the broadcast of chapter 22,
Everyone cried miserably, and they couldn't imagine why Pokeni could design such a terrible game.
Countless viewers have denounced Pokeni and Tsubaki Furuhara on the Internet, and even Kyoto Animation, which produced the anime, has not been spared.
It's just that Kigami is slightly better at them-
Pokeni can be introduced as a shield.
We are completely faithful to the original book, and as for why it was made like this, everything is based on pokeni.
Furuhara Tsubaki is the culprit.
……
The next day.
Qing Zhiyuan received a thank you letter from the player, which was signed [Dear Teacher Tsubaki Furuhara personally opened]
[Dear Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara, thank you for your attention.]
Thank you for making such a great game as CLANNAD, which has sublimated and cleansed my soul.
I have been a bad junior since I was a child, and I am also the tail of the crane when I learn.
I originally thought that life was so gloomy, and I might not be able to get the approval of others in this life.
However, after seeing the anime of the game you made being adapted, I regained hope in life.
I also try my best to become a person like Tomoya Okazaki, and one day I will meet Nagisa Furukawa, who belongs to me.
Thank you, Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara.
As a token of appreciation, I sent you something and asked you not to dislike it. 】
"It's really touching," Qing Zhiyuan said, "I didn't expect that the game we made would bring such a huge amount of energy to the audience, you see, there are still people in this world who understand us." ”
"President, aren't you curious about what the gift he sent?" Akane Ayase said with a wicked smile next to her.
"Huh?"
Qing Zhiyuan smelled something wrong.
"If you didn't put the blade in the envelope and hurt you, this viewer is already very kind.
What a good boy. ”
Akane Ayase complimented.
Click.
The letter in Qing Zhiyuan's hand fell to the ground.
At the same time, there is a heart that has been shattered.
Yes! No!
How can this be, finally come to an audience that praises himself, but he is still white and black?
"President, the warehouse is full of things." Akane Ayase hinted.
Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely, he didn't have to think about it to know, it must be a lot of blades.
Many of them were sent to Furuhara Tsubaki.
"I didn't expect it, I've been silent for more than a year, and I can still get the love of the players."
Little HR covered his mouth and laughed.
Phew.
Are you so loving, they really love you to death?
"It's all sold." Qing Zhiyuan said.
He lost a loyal student, who was still white and black, which made Qing Zhiyuan feel quite devastated.
……
However, thanks to Kyoto Animation, CL has achieved very good broadcast results after it was broadcast on TV Tokyo, and the ratings are also high, especially after Xiaoshio's death, and countless people are waiting for the so-called finale in the next week.
Everyone is dead, can there really be a reversal in the finale?
Countless people are looking forward to it, hoping that Kigami's promise is true.
In this case, some people can't help but play the game of pokeni and dig up all the old posts on the site.
The audience is still waiting for the next episode to be broadcast.
And players who have played the game have been brought into the past by the animation [good memories]
In the official forum of P Society, CLANNAD's module is hot again.
"Hey, the current audience's ability to bear it is really worrying. I think we were people who had experienced CL and LL in a row. ”
"Seriously, looking back on the anime now, I can still remember how I felt when I played the game, and when I heard [Tide], tears poured out all of a sudden, completely uncontrollable.
CL is a tearjerker game.
I'm looking forward to the adaptation of the LL anime even more.
I hope that Kyoto Animation will continue to work hard to give the world a sense of what it means to be dominated by pokeni. ”
"These players, the current CL can't stand it anymore, so when you see the plot in the LL in the future, won't you have to cry all the way to the end?"
"Hahaha, I also want to see how the audience reacts after LL appears, at least let them feel the power of the ancient thief."
"Ah, speaking of the old thief of the ancient plains, I still miss him a little, the last time LL was at the end of 94, and two years have passed at this time."
"What the hell is Furuhara Tsubaki doing now, to be honest, I'm still a little nostalgic for him."
"Void Abyss Xuan is not enough for you to miss, you have to invite the master out too, right?"
"Hey, how to put it, it's rare to have the kind of pleasure that is particularly close to the heart, straight to the heart, and can make people happy to tears, look down on life and death after clearing the game, and then regain the courage to live."
“……”
"It's over, it's over, we shouldn't have something wrong with our brains, we will actually miss the days when we were abused by the old thief of the ancient plains."
"Hahaha, it looks like the people here aren't normal, I deeply doubt you should check it out."
"Welcome to the psychiatric hospital."
"I don't want to go to a mental hospital, if I want to be caught, let's go to the research institute and see what the old thieves have done to us."
"Mentioning the name of Furuhara Tsubaki,It's really nostalgic.,When will Furuhara Tsubaki's game be played?,Pokeni shouldn't hide Furuhara Tsubaki in the snow, right?
Is it because there are too many blades being sent?
I promise, Mr. Furuhara, next time you release a new work, I will definitely send fewer blades. ”
"Ancient Plains Tsubaki, a god who is remembered by the world."
……
In fact, the animation of LL is indeed in the works, and it was also contracted to Kyoto Animation.
Speaking of which, it all depends on the blessing of pokeni.,Today's Kyoto Animation,Most of it is supported by the games of the P Society.。
Even if people say that their animation is too sadistic, knife-blowing, tear-jerking, but these are not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is more like an honor.
Kyoto Animation has also carved out a path in the animation industry because of its well-made animation and god-like plot.
In terms of animation, it is mainly based on the sale of VCDs as the main income.
Yes, it used to be a videotape, but now it has become a VCD, which also shows the rapid progress of the times.
The world is constantly changing.
……
When I returned home in the evening, I chatted with Nao Tsuda about the recent anime adaptation while having dinner.
Tsuda couldn't help but laugh, "Now I kind of understand why so many people send you blades. ”
"Uh......"
The corners of Qing Zhiyuan's mouth twitched fiercely.
The feeling of being hit by my wife is really uncomfortable.
"By the way," Nao Tsuda put down his chopsticks and remembered one thing, "The plans that Hitotsubashi said before have been initially realized. ”
"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan looked up suspiciously.
I didn't seem to quite understand what she was talking about.
"During this time, Ichibashi ran back and forth between the United States and Neon, which was actually quite hard." Nao Tsuda said with a smile, "Now we have acquired two small second-tier companies with distribution rights from North America, and now we are busy buying other small companies to exchange them for dentsu."
When the time comes, a part of the equity will be transferred to Dentsu, and Yuehe's own distribution company will be established, and after the cooperation is reached, Yuehe's road will be smooth. ”
"Great." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.
"I didn't expect this guy to have some skills."
"It's almost ready, and then it's a matter of what to do." Tsuda smiled.
"Okay."
As for what to do, there are a lot of lists in the list of this thing.
It's just that we have to select some film and television works that can be obtained by current scientific and technological means and have high cost performance for production.
It's best to be able to develop it into a game, so that you can eat it both at once.
It can also form a chemical reaction and a strong linkage effect.
……
How powerful is Neon Electric.
Dentsu is Neon's largest advertising and communications group, which is basically in a monopoly position, equivalent to an imperial enterprise.
It's just in terms of advertising and communication.
What kind of existence is Neon Dentsu?
Any group that can be named by Neon will be entrusted to this company for its advertising budget.
Dentsu's awesomeness lies not only in its monopoly, but also in its brutality: how the domestic advertising budget is spent - look at the ratings.
Many of Neon's TV stations are self-financing, so there is a lot of pressure to survive. The production and copyright costs of TV dramas are high, and variety shows have become a must for TV stations to receive how many advertisements.
In other words, he is a big financier in the entertainment industry.
It's just that Qing Zhiyuan was mixed in games before, and he didn't feel the power of Dentsu at all, but this time after the explanations of Nao Tsuda and Fumie Hitotsubashi, he can be regarded as having some appreciation.
The reason why Yuehe can have bargaining chips to negotiate and cooperate with Dentsu
Mainly because dentsu's expansion in North America has not been very smooth.
Everyone knows that dentsu is a giant, so everyone is cautious about his cooperation.
And people on Yuehe's side, who originally had nothing to do with the advertising industry, privately bought a bunch of companies and integrated them for him in exchange for benefits.
Although not a very big success, it is also a business expansion.
Investing in Yuehe will not affect Dentsu's own business, because he is only an advertising company, and Yuehe is a film and television company, and it is also a big four to grab the market.
What does it have to do with me Dentsu.
To put it bluntly, business is all about interests, and it depends on whether you can provide the other party with what they want.
In addition, Yuehe is also willing to cut meat and give part of the equity to Dentsu, so this can create a more favorable negotiation conditions.
When Hitotsubashi contacted each other, the executives of Dentsu expressed interest.
……
As long as you reach a cooperation with dentsu.
In this way, the neon domestic theater release, others will not dare to blatantly interfere
Because many neon theaters are owned by the four major film and television companies, Yuehe will inevitably compete head-on with them in the future.
Toho often engages in xenophobic issuance.
But with Dentsu, they can't do it blatantly
There can only be fair play.
If you play fair, who is the traverser afraid of?
Qing Zhiyuan said that it was not false at all.
