A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

At night, when it was approaching eight o'clock, Xia Yan's fans in various forums in Dragon Kingdom became active, and they rushed to publish announcements in the fan group, informing everyone to watch the TV on time.

Nowadays, the competition among the four autumn animations has entered a fierce stage. All of them have aired their fourth episode, but the gap in ratings is very small. This is because in the first three weeks of July, the animation works with the highest ratings every week are different. You can see it.

The so-called quarterly hegemonic animation, this title is a title that everyone has a chance to win among the four works.

But for Xia Yan’s fans, tonight’s ratings for the fourth episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker are crucial.

"Red Dragon, Revolutionary from Another World, and Crash Landing on You all have won the weekly ratings championship in the past three weeks, but Cyberpunk Edgewalker has not. This is very sad."

"Now fans of those works are laughing at us for always being the second child. I can't bear it."

"Even if you have something to do and have to work overtime at the company today, you can turn on the company TV set and tune it to Magic City TV 1 to contribute some ratings to Cyberpunk."

"The plot of Cyberpunk Edge Walker tonight is really strong. If it is ranked second or even lower in the ratings, in the next week those scumbags will want to slander Teacher Xiayan again, saying that the success of Magic Circle is just a flash in the pan. This is the true level of Teacher Xia Yan.”

"Here, is Cyberpunk Edgewalker's ratings of over 4% very low? You're talking like this is rubbish."

"It is indeed not low, but there is a gap compared to Magic Circle! A person who everyone thinks can get a hundred points, but only gets eighty points, will definitely be ridiculed."

"This is the price of being famous. If it had been anyone else, the ratings would have been over 4% for every episode since the show started. This is not a big boast, but if it had been Teacher Xia Yan, it would have been so uncomfortable! This achievement would still have to be ridiculed."

"Brothers, come on, boost the ratings of Cyberpunk Edgewalker tonight."

Xia Yan's fans are also becoming active now.

Before the broadcast, almost all major animation forums were filled with related topics.

Before the broadcast, the ratings of Modou TV1 reached 4.22%.

The plot of the fourth episode of Cyberpunk Edgerunner is not much different from the third episode. It is still about David’s cyberpunk career after joining Mann’s team.

From a rookie, to someone who can calmly complete the tasks assigned by Mann, from a person who can only stand dumbly when someone shoots him, to someone who can use Sianwei Stan to save his teammates at critical moments.

David is growing up.

Make money, transform your body, and replace your flesh and blood body with a steel prosthetic body bit by bit.

A powerful cyberpunk, except for the brain, the rest of the body is not original, it is a steel prosthetic body.

The protagonist David now only has a prosthetic spine, and he is still very shallow on the road to cyberpunk.

Of course, his growth doesn't stop there.

At least his boss, Mann, felt that he should use his brain elsewhere.

For example, how to woo a girl?

Get some exercise, or rather find a chance to go for a night run with Lucy.

Talk about the sky, the ground, and the air. If there is a topic, talk about it desperately. If there is no topic, you should talk awkwardly even if you create a topic.

From the beginning, I was exhausted just keeping up with Lucy. But after my physical strength caught up, I could easily run the entire distance side by side with Lucy.

Although it is not a plot with huge twists and new ideas, it is quite rare for animations like this to introduce how the protagonist actively pursues girls.

"She said she wanted to go to the moon. This is her dream." In the animation, David sighed while chatting with Mann.

After this plot appeared in the animation, the DNA of many Xia Yan fans was touched.

Go to the moon?

Such familiar words.

In all major fan groups.

"Is old thief Xia Yan playing tricks?"

"This doesn't feel like a coincidence. Lucy's dream is to go to the moon? What is this hinting at?"

"The last person to go to the moon died in the old thief's work."

"I always feel like the old thief is hinting at something."

"Could it be said that this work is a tragedy?"

"Don't say that the core of cyberpunk works is tragedy. It depends on how this work is shaped."

"For now, the protagonist's life is quite tragic anyway. His mother died, he joined a cyberpunk gang and became an underground mercenary. Now he is chasing the heroine while licking his blood."

Just when the Dragon Kingdom audience thought that this episode would end in a dull way, the most shocking scene in the fourth episode of Cyberpunk appeared.

Mann and his group were walking down the street after drinking at night and saw a homeless man urinating on the street.

Of course, the funny guy in the team, "Pila" who keeps making dirty jokes on weekdays, is not a moral model. He just couldn't stand someone being so arrogant about urinating and defecating in front of him, and then stepped forward to stop him.

And to greet him.

It was the pistol that the homeless man held against his chin.

Without even saying a word, the homeless man just shot.

In the animation, Pyrrha's head was shot through. It should be said that it was shot out.

His eyes exploded, his skull was overturned, his brains spilled all over the floor, leaving only a headless body.

This scene, even fans who had seen many bloody scenes in the previous three episodes, were stunned at this time.

"So outrageous?"

"Pyrrha, my Pyrrha"

"Die like this? No warning at all?"

"This, this is the world of cyberpunk? Pulling out a gun and killing people when there is a disagreement? People just advised you not to urinate and defecate anywhere, and you did this?"

"No, no, the animation said that this homeless man, he, he had a cyberpsychosis attack."

"Is this cyberpsychosis?"

"What is this thing? It will attack as soon as it is said?"

"The same is true for the soldier who installed Sian Westin in the first episode. Once the cyberpsychosis attacks, he kills people indiscriminately."

"This thing is too scary. I almost vomited when watching the animation just now. The eyeball was directly blown up. I can't sleep tonight."

"It's really scary. I thought this animation was quite relaxing before, but I didn't expect that Pira died in just a moment."

"This may be the worldview that Teacher Xia Yan wants to tell us. The protagonist is not invincible. If you are not careful in this world, you will die in a few minutes."

In this episode, after Pira died, the ratings of the work have been rising all the way.

Although everyone complains about the bloodiness, in fact, they can't stop watching it at all.

At the end of this episode, David and Lucy, who finally came back to their senses from the cyberpsychosis attack, were on the high tower of a building in Night City, talking about their inner thoughts because of Pyrrha's death.

"What I told you that day, the dream of going to the moon, was not a lie." Lucy suddenly said.

"I also believe that what you said that day was not a lie." David stared at her.

"What if what I say to you now is a lie?" Lucy asked back.

"I don't believe it."

"I don't want to believe it."

Because of this brief conversation, the boy and the girl finally turned the page on Lucy's deception of David and the incident that Mann came to David.

At this time, David was moved by Lucy's words, and once he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop.

All his feelings and opinions about Lucy were said at once.

"We are completely different people." Lucy said dejectedly.

"What's the difference?" David raised his voice and looked at Lucy seriously.

"I will take you to the moon!"

After David said this, the audience in front of the TV was silent.

Especially fans of Xia Yan who watched the work "To the Moon".

Although the dream of Cyberpunk Lucy to go to the moon is a coincidence like John's dream in the work "To the Moon".

But this coincidence has produced a wonderful chemical reaction at this moment.

Let fans who have watched the work "To the Moon" feel more and more touching about this scene in the animation.

A boy said this to the girl only on impulse at that time.

"I will take you to the moon and realize your dream. I promise you."

At this moment, Lucy finally let go of her inner defense, leaned down, held David's face and kissed him.

The soothing background music, combined with the launch of the moon rocket in Night City, which only the extremely rich can ride, the flame tail of the rocket and the bright white moon in the sky make the figure of the boy and girl kissing under the moon so beautiful that it makes people cry.

"I don't want you to die." Lucy said to David, her request to David.

"I won't die," David also replied calmly.

This scene, at this moment, conquered all the viewers who watched the Cyberpunk Edgewalker animation.

The audience was overwhelmed with emotion, but they had no idea that the words they hoped the other party could realize for themselves in the fourth episode when they were dating were the beginning of the tragedy of this work.

David hoped that Lucy could realize her dream and go to the moon.

But Lucy hoped that David would never die, not like Pyrrha who suddenly died in this episode. Although the whole work did not clearly reveal it, the audience could see that Lucy was extremely scared and afraid in her heart, worried that the people she cherished would leave her.

But what if these two wishes conflicted to a certain extent?

At this moment, none of the fans who watched Cyberpunk Edgewalker thought of this problem.

The fourth episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker ended.

Many animation viewers are still immersed in the plot.

For the work of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, the real turning point began in the sixth episode, when the protagonist's eldest brother Mann changed.

From the sixth episode, the whole work has been developing in a depressing direction and has never turned back. The tear-jerking degree of the work has deepened with each episode until the final ending of the tenth episode.

The original game of this work, Cyberpunk 2077, was originally criticized by many game fans for game optimization and plot problems. The original animation was also launched two years after the game was launched in the parallel world.

But it was originally just a welfare derivative animation, but after it was broadcast in the parallel world, millions of game players returned to the game crazily, just to help David in the animation and beat the boss of this work, Adam.

An animation made a game that had only a few thousand people online on a certain game platform two years after its launch become hundreds of thousands of people online at the same time in a few days. This is Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

Of course, in Longguo, because this animation is updated weekly, fans do not watch it in one go like watching it on Netflix in the parallel world. It is indeed different. You will be tortured in one day, not in weeks.

The next day, the ratings of the fourth episode of Cyberpunk were released.

4.49%

This week's new animation has the highest viewership.

So far, in the animation market in July, there are more than 100 animations in total. In the first week, Revolutionary from Another World ranked first in ratings, in the second week, Red Dragon, in the third week, Crash Landing, and in the fourth week.

Cyberpunk edgewalker.

There has never been a season where the Dragon Kingdom Animation Market has been on air for a month, and the whole situation is still so chaotic.

All four works are extremely popular, but none of them can consistently stand out from the competition.

The ratings of Cyberpunk Edge Walker reached the top, which also made the three major animation companies a little panic.

Anyone can reach the top, but if Xia Yan’s works reach the top, then what?

Several companies have bribed the news media and manipulated the tide of public opinion within the limits permitted by law.

News media in the animation industry that received the money also reported on it.

[The four animations in the animation market this month are each blooming with splendor. The suspense remains as to who will be the overlord in the autumn animation market. 】

[Four top animations compete for supremacy in one quarter, are the scenes from the Golden Age of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry reappearing? 】

[The new work of Puella Magi Madoka Magica author Xia Yan is disappointing. It is difficult to reproduce the original popularity and popularity of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Although Cyberpunk Edgewalker is a good work, it is hard not to sigh at its level. Xia Yan The pinnacle of this life may be Puella Magi Madoka Magica. 】

[Puella Magi Madoka Magica has become a mountain in the professional life of talented creator Xia Yan. Judging from the current achievements of cyberpunk edgewalkers, there is basically no chance of recreating the glory of Madoka Magica. 】

[A third-rate animation that relies on blood and violence to attract people’s attention. The quality of an animation cannot be measured by ratings. 】

[Cyberpunk Edgewalker, an animation whose reputation is greater than its strength. 】

It was obviously Cyberpunk Edgewalker that won the first place in this week's ratings, but the public opinion in the entire industry was almost all unfavorable to Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

The employees of Xia Tang Animation Production Company were furious when they saw this situation.

"Damn it, how much money does Donglin Animation, a comic review weekly, charge for hacking us like this?"

"There is also Qian Youlin, a fat guy with millions of fans. He is famous in the animation industry for speaking up for anyone who pays more. I don't know how much money the three major animation companies paid them. He also tells lies with his eyes open. , saying that cyberpunk relies on blood and blood to attract people, and it is no different from the obscene movies shown on late-night TV, which means that many people watch it. "

"Fans probably won't just believe these remarks."

"The fans of the boss will definitely not believe it, but passers-by may not necessarily believe it! How many excellent films in the film industry were hacked by trolls, and then passers-by lost confidence and finally failed at the box office. This kind of thing is relatively rare in the animation industry , after all, there are dozens of works in a quarter, and it would be too expensive for these companies to pay off all the trolls, but I didn’t expect that the three major companies would be so shameless and target us.”

"There is no way. The boss's reputation has become too great in the past two years, and the boss is not just a creator. He also runs his own company. The threat is indeed too great. Maybe after one or two years of development, he will be able to compete with the three The big animation companies are calling the shots, but this can only be considered normal business behavior.”

"If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by Dragon Kingdom's laws here, these people don't know how they could be so evil."

“I just can’t believe that the Cyberpunk Edgerunner animation will be defeated by these little tricks.”

People in the company were furious, and Xia Yan felt uncomfortable watching these reports in the office.

Although these methods of business competition are inevitable.

However, Xia Yan also knew in his heart that it was of little significance for the three major animation companies to do this.

Because Dragon Kingdom is not an era of pure print media and television media, animation audiences can learn about a work through online channels in addition to these.

Although many people on TV and in various magazines are badmouthing cyberpunk edgewalkers.

But in fact, the rise of this animation is basically unstoppable.

Xia Yan logged into his creator account and posted an update on his creator account with the account name "Xia Yan. Yuan Qing. Warrior of Love", which has 20 million followers.

[I have never had the experience of being overtaken by my subordinates. Starting from this week, the ratings of the Cyberpunk Edgewalker animation will not be lost once and will continue to reach the top until the end! 】

After this news was released, soon

It immediately caused an explosion among Xia Yan's fan group and the group of people working in the Long Kingdom animation industry.

Teacher Xia Yan, this is...

Declare war on the three major animation companies?

Nowadays, the ratings of the four works in the Longguo Animation Market are among the same. No one dares to say that he will be the ultimate winner in the animation market this quarter.

But the meaning of Xia Yan's words is very clear.

This week, once Edgewalker got the No. 1 ratings spot, it wasn't going to let it go.

And a few words in the speech.

A defeated general?

Go ahead?

You topped the ratings this week, so all other new animation works this season were defeated by you?

Is it impossible for others to catch up?

Moreover, this sentence may have other meanings. Could this defeated enemy refer to the three major animation companies? After all, these three companies were all defeated by Xia Yan's Magic Circle last year.

The meaning of this sentence not only means that three works such as Red Dragon and Crash Landing on You cannot surpass Edgewalker, but it also means that the three major animation companies will not have a chance to surpass Xia Tang Animation Company.

To put it nicely, this is confidence in his own work. To put it bluntly, he did not look down on the three works launched by the three major animation companies this quarter, so he made such remarks in public on his account followed by tens of millions of people.

It is impossible for Xia Yan not to know his influence in the industry now.

By making such remarks, his attitude is basically clear. Facing these small actions of the three major animation companies, he is not going to tolerate them and will confront them head-on!
