In mid-December, the animation bd of the second part of Cyberpunk 2077 was released.

The plot of the second bd of this work basically fills the gap in the Cyberpunk world view and the ending of this work.

Of course, the grudge between V and Arasaka Corporation and Johnny Silverhand is secondary. The focus is on.

Adam Hammer.

This is an invincible existence in Edgewalker.

In the combination of the complete "V and Johnny Silverhand", it cannot be said that they are vulnerable, but there is indeed a clear difference in combat power.

In the plot, V deliberately inherited David's yellow sweater jacket, and holding Rebecca's green submachine gun when she was alive, V killed Arasaka Tower and really blew up Adam Hammer, the most hated character in the hearts of the audience.

For the millions of Cyberpunk animation fans in Longguo, it is enough to have this clip in the 2077 BD animation plot.

Indeed, because the plot of 2077 is adapted from the game, it is not as appealing as Edgewalker, but at least these two theatrical animations have shaped the story of Edgewalker completely.

Let the audience know the truth about Night City, supplement the world view, and also explain to the audience why Adam Hammer is so strong, and why such a strong Adam Hammer can be killed so easily by V.

The whole work, because of the existence of the character V, has been upgraded to a higher level.

If the protagonist David of Edgewalker is the legend of Night City.

Then V is the god of Night City!

The sales of the second part of Cyberpunk 2077 animation BD are more than 100,000 copies higher than the sales data of the first part.

After all, fans of Edgewalker may not be interested in the story of the new protagonist V, but they will definitely be interested in the scene where Adam Hammer was killed. No matter who it is, as long as they can kill Adam Hammer and help Rebecca and David to avenge, it doesn’t matter, as long as they are happy.

So far, it is late December.

Cyberpunk Edgewalker, which started airing in July, finally ushered in its end half a year after its birth.

Maybe fans are still fantasizing about Xia Yan’s Cyberpunk series animation season 2, season 3, etc., but Xia Yan knows very well that 2077 is the end of this series of animations.

Unless Xia Yan restores the original game of Cyberpunk 2077, but for Xia Yan, animations and comics can be restored with Yuan Qing’s memory.

But the game is too huge, and it is impossible to restore it with just that little memory, and

Xia Yan doesn’t have the time and energy.

He is now working on Lelouch, Hunter x Hunter, and Sword Art Online, which almost squeeze out most of his time. It is not realistic to develop in the game field.

In late December, Xia Yan held a fan meeting for the Cyberpunk series of animations in Shanghai. At the meeting, Xia Yan told the fans clearly that this series of animations was completely finished.

He did not follow other creators and did not release a sequel to the work to keep fans waiting. Xia Yan was very straightforward.

So.

In fact, in this autumn animation market, Edgewalker dominated the popularity list and was a well-deserved hegemonic animation.

In the winter market, the influence of 2077 ran through the entire quarter, making dozens of new animations broadcast in that quarter have no sense of existence.

The highest ratings of the animation "Blood Blade" in the whole quarter, the highest ratings of a single episode was only 3.79%, which was almost four or five orders of magnitude lower than the popularity of the masterpiece animation Cyberpunk Edgewalker in the previous quarter.

And the December of Dragon Country just passed by like this.

With the arrival of the New Year, Xia Yan's school and his company both had three days off.

Moreover, Xia Yan also distributed all the bonuses for the Cyberpunk work to his employees before the holiday.

There are more than 170 members of the production team, including 2077 and Edgewalker. The highest number was 1 million Dragon Country Currency, and the lowest number was 50,000 Dragon Country Currency for the college graduate interns who joined the production team.

In total, more than 2,000 bonuses were issued, which means an average of more than 110,000 bonuses per person.

And this number is just a little more than their annual income of pure salary.

Of course, considering the income of Cyberpunk, more than 10 million bonuses are really nothing. But business operations must be based on industry standards. At least on the day of the bonus distribution, the employees under Xia Yan really said from the inside out that they wished their boss "Xia Yan" good health dozens of times.

These employees basically joined Xia Yan as long as there was a new work. In a whole year, the bonus for the Magic Circle BD animation was almost a year's salary income. The performance of "Seven Years" was a little worse, but it was also a bonus of almost a quarter of the salary income, plus Cyberpunk.

In total, the average income per person last year was more than three times the annual income of the salary contract.

This is much higher than the income they earned from working in their previous company.

This also caused a group of employees in the company to feel uncomfortable during the New Year's Day holiday. Many people also called for overtime after the holiday in the company group, and quickly continued to invest in the animation production of Lelouch.

Xia Yan was actually quite confused by the attitude of his subordinates.

Cyberpunk Edgewalker made about 700 to 800 million yuan, and there will be a certain amount of copyright income every year in the future.

He only took out 10 or 20 million yuan as bonuses and dividends, and he felt that it was a bit too little, but he didn't expect that his subordinates were quite happy.

Of course, Xia Yan, who is still a college student, is not very clear about the sufferings of the world. He has not been to other animation companies, and he is not clear about the disgusting interpersonal relationships in those companies, the endless revision of plans, and how much bonus he can get at the end of the year, which all depends on his relationship with the leader. Even if there is a reward, because the company's production yield is far less than that of Madoka Magica and Edge Walker, there will naturally not be too much.

After all, many animations have a net profit of less than 20 million Dragon Country Currency, and they may even lose money. How can they give so much money to employees for bonuses?

In addition, Xia Yan is the kind of boss who only values ​​your actual ability and does not accept flattery. Even if Xia Yan has any inappropriate remarks and ideas in the company's animation production group, his subordinates will not be angry if they criticize him directly, and they will not put eye drops on others.

Working under such a boss, the subordinates will not have so many troubles when working, and naturally have a very good impression of Xia Yan and the company.

Of course, Xia Yan still has a lot to learn about company management and cost control. However, with the profit rate of his works often reaching dozens of times, the lack of cost management ability in company operation has little impact on the development of the company.

Just like Xia Yan's operation of giving employees a bonus of 20 million yuan, the animation industry was full of criticism, saying that he was a spendthrift and would bankrupt the company sooner or later.

But in fact, these people in the industry know that with the rate of return of Xia Yan's works, it is simply a fantasy to bankrupt the company just by giving employees bonuses.

After the three-day New Year's Day holiday.

The new year of Longguo, the spring animation market is officially started.

However, for the animation fans of Longguo at this moment, looking at these new animations on the market, their hearts are already full of waves.

After all, everyone has seen the quality of Xia Yan's works in the past two years, such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

It is natural that everyone who has seen 100-point works will not be interested in these 70-point works.

After the end of the first week of January, all major animation forums were wailing.

"I'm out of animation. Can anyone recommend some interesting old shows? I'll go to the animation BD rental store near my house to look for some."

"It's so sad that Lao Zei doesn't have any action this season?"

"Its full-time hunter is pretty good. Starting from the seventh episode, it's very interesting after entering the hunter assessment. This is the first time I've seen a cooking assessment in a boy's comic. I laughed my ass off."

"You mean the chapter about making sushi? I laughed my ass off too."

"But what I want to ask is, can anyone really eat sashimi with rice? It's so disgusting!"

"There are a lot of people in coastal areas who eat raw marinated crabs, prawns, and fish. When it comes to eating raw meat, what are those in Lao Zei's comics? ”

“I said, I asked you to discuss whether there are any interesting old animations, why are you discussing food here!”

“Of course there are none! Such good animations as Madoka Magica and Cyberpunk, do you think they are everywhere? If there were such good old animations in the past, would it be our turn to recommend them? You would have watched them through various channels long ago.”

“Alas, the old thief’s comics have only been serialized for ten episodes. I want to buy the single volume after it is fattened up. As for the novels, the same is true for Sword Art Online. Xu Xiang never dies, which is depressing to read.”

“Wait, after these three months, there will be a new animation of the old thief “Code Geass” in October.”

“This The animation investment is 170 million, which is the highest investment among all Lao Zei's animation works. Maybe it will also be the best performance among all Lao Zei's animation works. "

"The best animation of the year is scheduled."

"Now the entire Longguo animation industry is staring at April, wanting to see whether Lao Zei can still create a super popular animation in the third year of his rise in the animation industry."

"So which work was the best animation of the year last year?"

"Is there any need to ask? Cyberpunk Edgewalker!"

"This year's Longyin Comic Award seems to be inevitable, judging by the current popularity of Hunter x Hunter. "

"No suspense! Lao Zei is now in three industries They have all reached the top of the industry, and the fans of the three industries can be converted to each other. Others can't compete with Lao Zei at all. "

"It feels like another boring spring. These animations in this quarter make me feel so uncomfortable."

"Be patient."

"I hope there will be another person with the same talent as Lao Zei in the industry to give him some pressure!"

"In fact, you can pay attention to Song Lingjun, a female writer from Liuli Book Club! She was also a generation of strong women who competed with Lao Zei on the same stage. Although her performance is not as good as Lao Zei now, she has talent. I feel that if she grows up for a few years, she may be able to compete with Lao Zei!"

After the first week of spring, the animation market was full of complaints from fans.

This situation made a group of practitioners in the animation industry completely speechless.

In the quarter when Cyberpunk Edgewalker was broadcast, this work was popular.

In the second quarter, the topic of the movie version of this work filled the animation market for the entire quarter.

It's the New Year now, and you fans are still complaining about these things. Are you going to give us a way out?

Mid-January.

Xia Yan finally came to the end of this semester.

Cramming to learn and cramming knowledge.

After a week of final exams, Xia Yan also lost a few pounds.

"Third year, it's already halfway over."

At the dinner table early in the morning, Xia Yan suddenly said with emotion.

"You are only halfway through your third year. For me, my entire college career is about to end." Mo Ran said melancholy while drinking oatmeal milk.

Unlike a junior like Xia Yan, she is already a senior.

"Speaking of you, Mo Ran, it seems that your college career has been quite regular." Tang Yin considered the words beside her.

"It's very regular!" Mo Ran glanced at Xia Yan.

"I met Xia Yan when I was a sophomore, and then I created comics with him for more than two years. Now I'm about to graduate as a senior, and my relationship with my classmates is very average. I haven't participated in any club activities in school."

"It's worse than when I was in college." Tang Yin couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"I joined some clubs during my four years in college, and then participated in the school's singing competition."

"Can you sing?" Xia Yan asked doubtfully at this time.

"That's right. Nine of them from my college!" Tang Yin said proudly upon hearing this.

"I didn't expect this." Xia Yan said.

"It's probably because of the points given by the judges for your appearance. I usually hear you hum a few words, but I don't find them pleasant at all."

"Jealous." Tang Yin was not angry at all, with a smile on her face.

First of all, Xia Yan praised her for her good looks. Secondly, she knew that Xia Yan's singing was very difficult to listen to. Although he learned vocal knowledge from Mo Ran, his singing was like a layman's.

Song Lingjun was eating quietly next to her. Then she looked up at Xia Yan.

"Xia Yan, are you still not going back to Nancheng to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"No." Xia Yan's expression paused when he heard this.

"You know my situation. I don't have any relatives in my hometown. There are only some relatives who stopped communicating with me after the accident in my family. Although I later made money and paid back all the money my father owed them, I'm just a human being. .Relationships that are severed during times of adversity are difficult to renew after this stage. It’s still awkward to get along with them when you go back.”

In the living room, the three women listened intently to Xia Yan's occasional chatter about trivial matters.

"It's such a pity." Song Lingjun's eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard this.

"What's a pity?" Xia Yan asked.

"Because I can see you all year round, but I can't see you during the Spring Festival, so I feel a little weird." Song Lingjun paused and said.

"Speaking of which, I feel the same way." Mo Ran also said at this time.

"Then there's nothing I can do." Xia Yan smiled.

After the four of them finished their morning meal, in the afternoon

Song Lingjun and Mo Ran, who were already on vacation, packed their luggage and left Xia Yan's villa.

The whole room was empty, but Xia Yan felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his girlfriend Tang Yin was here. Thinking of this, Xia Yan felt happy. Looking at it from another angle, the two light bulbs were no longer there.

The New Year is approaching, and the Spring Festival is only half a month away.

Although Mo Ran left the Magic City, his comic creation continued during the Chinese New Year.

At the end of the year, the sales of periodicals from the major comics publishing houses in Dragon Kingdom were extremely hot.

And just before the Spring Festival.

The comic "Hunter" finally started to become popular in a real sense.

Before this, although Hunter was very popular, basically everyone paid attention to this work just because of their trust in Xia Yan.

In terms of plot, Hunter's early plot can only be said to be interesting, but it is certainly not to the level that it could dominate "Beizhou", the top comic journal in the Dragon Kingdom.

But at this time, when the thirteenth chapter of the comic was serialized, fans of the full-time hunter comic like Long Guo finally felt its fun and charm after the early comic plot foreshadowing.

After all, the plot of the hunter exam has entered the real main plot. The previous pediatric marathon walking and food making assessments are a bit too childish. Although interesting, the plot is far from amazing.

However, the assessment tower chapter of the third trial of the hunter assessment is the chapter in the original comic that truly shows the style of the work of the hunter.

A chapter that allows Gon, Killua, Leorio, Kurapika, and the popular character Toba from the parallel world to show off their respective character charms.
