A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Chapter 255: Edge Walker begins broadcasting

The first two days of July are working days. Most of the animations broadcast this season, if they are a little ambitious, will not be broadcast on working days.

So the dozens of animations broadcast by the dozen TV stations in the first two days are basically works with small and medium investments.

The content of the works also covers themes such as different worlds, love, harem, and campus.

There are many works of this type broadcast every quarter. Although they are basically not a big hit, these themes have a high audience and will not lose money. Basically, they are the runners-up in the animation market every quarter.

The four works that really attract everyone's attention this quarter.

They are the three big-investment animations of the three major animation companies Luzhou, Yuanling, and Longyang, as well as the masterpiece of Xia Tang Animation Production Company this year.

The only four animation works in the autumn market with an investment of more than 60 million, and there are some grudges between the companies.

After all, last summer, Magical Girl Madoka Magica rose to the top by stepping on the works of the three companies. It cannot be said that the rise of Magic Girl Madoka Magica made the three companies lose money, but it did make them earn a lot less.

This autumn, the three major animation companies are full of ambition and want to avenge their previous shame.

After all, the three major animation production companies in Longguo, which have dominated the industry for more than ten years, are strongly crushed by a small company that has been established for only one or two years. This is indeed a bit embarrassing.

July 3, Friday, 8 pm.

The first episode of Red Dragon was broadcast on TV1 in the capital.

The ratings were 4.06% at the beginning, and the ratings soared to 4.42% at the end of the first episode. The average rating of the first episode was 4.15%.

As soon as this result came out, it directly made headlines in major animation media news the next day.

This kind of popular comic adaptation work is really different with the support of the original comic fans.

And the next Saturday, "Speedy Landing" on TV1 in the capital at 7:30 pm, and the animation work "Reformers of Another World" adapted from the popular light novel, which started at 8:30 pm on TV1 in the magic city, was also broadcast one after another.

The average ratings of the first episodes of the two animations were 3.91% and 4.22%, which directly ignited the animation industry in Longguo this quarter.

It’s okay for Crash Landing on You, as it’s an original animation, and it’s normal for the first episode to have a slightly weaker ratings, but the plot rhythm and pictures of the first episode are very good, and there will definitely be a period of rising ratings later.

The ratings of the first episodes of the two animations Red Dragon and The Reformer of Another World exceeded 4%, which is really a bit too good.

There are many so-called "popular works" adapted from popular novels, comics or games in Longguo that have large investments and high publicity, but after the actual broadcast, they were all blasted by fans and were animated.

So in fact, although the two works have large investments, there are still many fans of the original novels and comics who are a little pessimistic before the broadcast.

But after the first episodes of the two works were broadcast, the production quality of the works far exceeded the fans' imagination. Not only did they not suffer from animation, but the quality was also extremely good.

This also led to the fact that on July 5, Sunday, all the major forums in the Dragon Country animation industry were filled with posts praising the works of the three major animation companies in Dragon Country this quarter.

"As expected of the Big Three companies, they are as stable as old dogs."

"I watched the first episode of Awakening last night and it brought me to tears. I have been following this novel for three years and I have read the plot from the beginning of this novel dozens of times. The first battle after the protagonist traveled through time was so exciting."

"Red Dragon is also amazing. The scene where Red Dragon appeared at the end of the first episode shocked me for two days. I didn't expect it to be so handsome. It is even cooler than the scenes in the comics."

"You get what you pay for in animation. Red Dragon invested 70 million and Awakening 90 million. This money can be used to make three or four episodes of low-cost animations such as Madoka Magica. The visual effect is really good!"

"That's right, this is what we call animation. I can't say that the picture quality of Madoka Magica is bad, but it is obvious that there is a visible difference between Red Dragon and Awakening 3 animations."

"You above, you have a problem, right? You have to praise one and criticize the other? I don't say anything about Awakening 3, Red Dragon and Crash Landing, but now you criticize Madoka Magica. They don't have Madoka fans?"

"Hehe, let these Red Dragon fans and the fans of the reformer of another world hate them. No matter how much they hate them, they can't make their own works surpass Madoka in influence. First of all, they can't achieve the ratings of more than 6% for the last episode of Madoka. Secondly, the influence of Madoka is much higher than the ratings of the period when it was broadcast. Almost half of the fans of Madoka learned about this work from BD and online channels. Even if the ratings of these two works really reach the 6% level, the influence is still far less. "

"There is no need to say more. Just look at the popularity and sales of the original comic novels of these two works and Mr. Xia Yan's other two works Initial D and Sword Art Online. The sum of Sword Art Online fans plus Initial D fans is actually equivalent to Mr. Xia Yan's Madoka fans. This can be inferred from the fact that before Mr. Xia Yan's creator account was merged, the number of fans following his two accounts, Yuanqing and Warrior of Love, was almost the same. Now the fans of these two works of Red Dragon still want to touch Madoka? Anyway, I laughed. "

"Don't, don't belittle Sword Art Online and Initial D. The reason why these two works have the same sales volume as Red Dragon and other works is because they only suffered from the loss of less than half a year after the single book was released. Their works have been sold for two In three years, I am not convinced that the volume sales of your works have been compared with those of yours that have been released for half a year. In a few months, you can see that the sales of Sword Art Online and Initial D single volumes will definitely exceed that of Red Dragon and Another World Reformer."

"Haha, do you Xia Yan fans really think he is a god? He is so powerful that he has the ability to make his cyberpunk "Edge Walker" reach the top of the ratings this season!"

“How do you know that Cyberpunk Edgewalker won’t top the ratings this season?”

"Huh? Do you really think that Xia Yan is a god, and one of his works will reach the top of the charts? His ratings for last season's I'll Wait for You Seven Years Later were only about 4.4%. Of course, that work is long enough It has not finished broadcasting for one season, and it will continue to be broadcast this quarter. However, if Xia Yan's cyberpunk work continues to maintain its seven-year performance, then the ratings will definitely not reach the top in the autumn animation market anyway. The ratings of the two works "Red Dragon" and "Reformer of Another World" exceeded 4% when they first aired. By the time the first season is completed, the ratings will most likely exceed 5%. Do you think Xia Yan's cyberpunk-themed work may have the same rating? This result?"

"So, Cyberpunk Edgewalker will only be aired tonight. How do you know it won't work?"

"Brother, stop arguing with them. Fans of Red Dragon and Reformers from Another World are slandering Edgewalkers on the Internet these days. They are afraid that their works will be disgraced and lost face by Mr. Xia Yan in the animation market. There is no point arguing with them here. Yes, everyone must be waiting in front of the TV at eight o'clock tonight to provide ratings and slap these people in the face. "

"I don't even understand why Teacher Xia Yan has so many people criticizing him."

"It's all a battle of interests. The pie in the two-dimensional industry is so big. Teacher Xia Yan is the most dazzling person in the industry in the past two years. He earns one billion a year. I think everyone would be jealous. If I were Without reading Mr. Xia Yan’s works, if you say that there is a person in other industries who is about the same age as me and earns one billion a year during college, I will also blame him. I have no choice but to be mentally unbalanced.”

"Some are fans of other works who are dissatisfied with Teacher Xia Yan's achievements, some are black men hired by other competitors, and some are just pure hatred of the rich. After all, a few days ago, so many media in Long Kingdom reported that Teacher Xia Yan The annual income in the Dragon Kingdom animation market is a bit unbearable for many people.”

"I don't know how. I will be jealous of people who earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. I will envy people who earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. I want to recognize people as godfathers to people who earn 1 to 2 million yuan a month. It’s none of my business how much money he earns. I want to recognize him as my godfather, but others don’t like me. I feel like these idiots like Mr.

During the day, in major animation forums, Xia Yan fans and fans from all walks of life were chatting with each other.

This situation is actually very touching for many people in the industry.

Xia Yan, a twenty-year-old boy, no matter you like him or not, you have to admit that he is now the center of Longguo's novel, animation, and comic industry. If it were anyone else, who would be creating animation? Even before it started airing, millions of fans were clamoring for it, and even many betting websites were betting on whether Edgewalker could reach the top of the ratings list in the autumn animation market.

Now, three of the four works in the autumn animation market have delivered a satisfactory answer to the industry.

If the three works are placed in the animation market of other quarters, judging from the ratings data of their first episode, the title of quarterly hegemonic animation has long been assigned by fans.

And this quarter, three movies were released as soon as they were released.

Coupled with the grievances between Xia Tang Animation and the three major animation production companies, this also made the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, which aired at 8 pm, attract much attention.

At seven o'clock, the most searched term on the Jiuxiao Forum was "Cyberpunk Edge Walker starts at eight o'clock in the evening."

At 7:30, Xia Yan's major fan groups across the Dragon Kingdom had spontaneously organized themselves and began to make final publicity announcements about the upcoming launch of Cyberpunk Edgewalker on various websites and Moments.

At 7:45, the ratings of Imperial TV 1 had soared to over 3%.

Millions of Xia Yan fans are already waiting for the animation to be aired.

By the time it was 7:55.

Xia Yan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time.

Just before the first episode of Cyberpunk aired, he posted a message on his creator account.

【Welcome to Night City! 】

For Xia Yan, he personally feels that Cyberpunk Edgewalker is no worse than Madoka Magica.

Of course, this is not bad, just based on the quality of the work and the plot.

In terms of commercial value, Madoka is indeed very high in the parallel world, but a work cannot be judged solely on its commercial value.

Otherwise, the commercial value of One Piece is at least dozens of times higher than that of Steel. But if you look at the ranking of masterpieces in the animation industry, Steel is basically higher than One Piece. Even One Piece cannot be ranked among masterpieces on many lists because of its works. It is too long, and the quality of chapters is uneven, especially the quality of chapters in later works, which drags down the overall score and conclusion of the work. Many people just regard it as a popular anime work rather than a masterpiece.

But the same work, different circumstances.

How far can a cyberpunk edgewalker go in the Dragon Kingdom with the popularity of his famous creator "Xia Yan"?

Xia Yan also expressed his expectations.

Soon seven fifty-nine arrived.

At the moment when the minute hand jumped, the TV screen of Imperial TV1 suddenly flickered.

Luo Wei picked up the skewers on the table, his eyes focused, and he came.

What you see is a city of extremely gorgeous neon lights.

This is the central area of ​​Night City.

Arasaka Tower.

The holographic projection technology projects various huge pictures, beautiful women, mountains and rivers, GG, and the latest prosthetic body sales information on it.

Huge and shocking heavy metal style background music sounded.

A powerful man with massive muscles all over his body stood in the square under Arasaka Tower with a dull expression.

He came to a police car and pointed his gun inside before the policeman inside could react.

Luo Wei's pupils widened when he saw this.

Is this how it starts?

Bang!

The whole scene was filled with blood, and the head of the man in the car was exploded and flew apart.

"Holy shit." Luo Wei put down the skewers in his hand.

He has read cyberpunk style novels before, and knows that the world view of this style of work is high technology, low-level life, and the huge gap between the rich and the poor in society. The rich live in intoxication and dream, while the lower class fight for life and death for a piece of bread.

Therefore, works with a cyberpunk worldview are often strongly related to crime.

Even if there are bloody scenes in a work of this style, it wouldn't be so direct.

Luo Wei thought that the man's blood was stained on his TV screen after being shot in the head. As expected, the quality of the animation with tens of millions invested was different.

Keep reading.

After this muscular hunk attacked a police officer, he was quickly surrounded by a group of police officers, and then

He was surrounded by a group of police and started a fight with the people around him. His expression was unconscious, but his actions were extremely ruthless. At the critical moment, he even activated the prosthetic body implanted in the spine behind his back.

The original animation in the parallel world does not introduce too much about these things, because it is fans who modified the animation for the game. Those who have played the game do not need an introduction. For those who have not played it, there is some blank space to attract them to finish watching. Learn about the game after the animation and get into the game.

But there is no game like Cyberpunk 2077 in this world, so naturally Xia Yan also has to explain clearly some settings in the original game.

For example, what is Legend of Night City?

What is afterlife bar.

Some deeds of Johnny Silverhand.

What is a prosthetic body and what is cyberpsychosis?

Of course, we will not pile up settings in one go, but will provide auxiliary explanations at the right time and in the right length.

For example, in the current plot, why can this muscular man control the prosthetic body Sian Weistan and slaughter the surrounding police officers like a dog?

It is because this prosthetic body can force people to enter bullet time, which means breaking through the upper limit of physical speed and the upper limit of brain thinking. According to the principle of relativity, your speed is accelerated ten times, which is equivalent to slowing down the opponent's speed ten times.

Luo Wei blinked. Although he didn't fully understand it, the scene showed tension.

Awesome!

After a wonderful fight, the muscular man fell to the fire of hundreds of policemen with submachine guns.

At the same time that his head was blown, on the other side, in a narrow and dark room, a young man suddenly screamed on the sofa.

here

Continue to introduce the concept of Mewtwo.

To put it bluntly, it is to implant a chip to restore a person's memory scene into a virtual picture, and then allow people who watch Mewtwo to experience the feelings of the Mewtwo maker at the time from a first-person perspective.

As for this young man, what he experienced was the energy of a muscular man killing dozens of policemen before his death, and then being shot in the head. Because it was so bloody and painful, others couldn't help but scream.

From here, the male protagonist of this game is David, a young high school student attending Arasaka Academy, the best school in Night City!

For the first time, it appeared in front of thousands of animation audiences in Dragon Kingdom.

There is another chapter later, which will be released thirty or forty minutes later.
