A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

The ending song plays.

Many animation fans of Dragon Kingdom felt a sigh in their hearts.

That's it?

That’s it?

This is the key plot point!

The work "Steel Refining" is actually a bit slow to develop, especially if it is adapted according to the rhythm of the original comic plot.

Compared to the first episode of Lelouch, where Lelouch showed off his various extremes, or geass, and also controlled the geass to kill a small group of soldiers, in the second episode, Lelouch led a group of soldiers to defeat Bunnie with his ultimate command. Tania.

In the first episode of Steel, the two protagonists are briefly explained. One has a broken leg and hand, and the other has completely disappeared. Then the two of them want to use the power of the Philosopher's Stone to find the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Restore the bodies of his two brothers.

The main line of the story was revealed in the first episode, but the plot's appeal was much lower than that of Lelouch's first episode.

But overall, everyone can also see that the background of this animation is very detailed.

It's a slow-burning work, so naturally, fans won't be too harsh on this animation.

The three-episode rule of Magic Circle is there. Even if there is a black man who thinks there is a chance, he basically holds back and will not come out to be a clown in the first few episodes.

"So, this is the main plot of this animation? The two protagonist brothers regain their bodies?"

"But I haven't said how these two brothers became like this! Why were they made from human bodies, and then what?"

"This animation of Lao Zei seems to have too many settings!"

"But it seems that these two brothers are relatively powerful beings as soon as they appear on the scene. At least when the name of the alchemy of some country is thrown out, it feels a bit embarrassing!"

"This is what I like to watch. Who cares about watching animations in which the protagonist slowly develops and becomes stronger? The invincible flow that reaches its peak at the beginning and is pushed all the way is the most interesting."

"However, the ending of the first episode was quite unexpected. The old thief's broken chapter still made me a little uncomfortable."

"Yeah, but the plot of this animation is easier for people to guess. The plot of the first episode is obviously about showing the world view and the two protagonist brothers. The second episode is most likely just about memories."

"How do you know?"

"Look at the trailers. Three trailers were released before the premiere of Steel, but in each trailer, the plot of the two brothers when they were young was clearly shown. This shows that the plot of the two brothers when they were young must be very important, so this is very important. It’s obvious, the first episode hasn’t been released, but the second episode will definitely be released.”

"I see."

"In that trailer, what ratio of 25 liters of water to iron, copper and carbon are the materials used to make the human body? When they were young, these two brothers used these things to make a human being?"

"It's actually quite interesting, this setting."

"Well, it feels a bit similar to cloning in the real world. It can easily involve ethics and morals! Will you be banned later?"

"The fact that this animation of Old Thief can be broadcast means that the script has been successfully reviewed. Don't think about those inexplicable possibilities.

"Okay, brothers, go to bed. Go to bed early and get up early. I can only say that I am quite satisfied with the plot of the first episode of Steel. Although I feel it is not as exciting as the first episode of Lelouch, it is above the passing line. Keep watching.”

"Me too."

"See you next week."

Late at night, as Xia Yan fans died down in various forums, the discussion about the first episode of Steelmaking gradually came to an end.

Although Steel Refining is a masterpiece in the parallel world, how can it be so amazing if only the first episode is aired in Dragon Kingdom?

I can only say that the background setting of this work shown so far is remarkable, and the animation production belongs to the budget warrior, and the picture quality is excellent.

Then

I can’t say enough about how attractive the plot of the first episode was.

But the author of this animation is Xia Yan

That's enough.

The next day, before noon, Magic City TV1 couldn't wait to announce the ratings data of Steel Refining in front of Quanlongguo.

6.03%.

Objectively speaking, it is extremely exaggerated and outrageous, but to the animators of Dragon Kingdom, it feels normal.

An animation with a ratings of over 6% for its first episode is something that the Dragon Kingdom animation industry has been doing since its birth nearly a hundred years ago.

But considering Xia Yan's current popularity, even if his new work actually produces an animated version of "Postpartum Care for Sows", it should be able to make fans at least resist the boring plot of the first episode and achieve a ratings of more than 4%.

And Steelmaking is obvious. Regardless of Xia Yan's fame, its plot and animation quality are also very good. The combination of the two has a 6% ratings.

It is indeed an exaggeration, and it is outrageous no matter how you think about it, but when this result is combined with Xia Yan, it can only be said that everyone accepted it easily.

Of course, the major media outlets in Dragon Kingdom have been waiting for you for half a year until Xia Yan's new work is finally released, and they will definitely not miss this opportunity to gain popularity at this time.

[The first episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist", a new work by talented animation editor Xia Yan, was aired. Millions of fans gave it a score of 9.1, and the opening ratings exceeded 6%. Another phenomenal animation was born. 】

[Steelmaking’s premiere ratings indeed exceeded 6%, making history again. But it is obvious that this animation is more famous than its strength nowadays. The plot of the first episode is remarkable, but it is far less attractive than the plot of Lelouch in the early stage. If the quality of the plot in the later period is still the same, there is a high probability that the ratings of this animation will increase rapidly. decline. 】

[The new work of Eternal God Xia Yan is launched, once again dominating the animation market, and another masterpiece is scheduled for the spring animation market. 】

[January's Steel Refining, April's Slam Dunk, July's Tianyuan, and October's Kamonogatari, Xia Yan's four masterpieces this year have clearly arranged the animation industry. Will there be a non-Xia Yan work this year that will rush the animation industry? Break out of Xia Yan's encirclement of the animation industry and win even one quarterly animation ratings championship? 】

[After the completion of Lelouch, Sword Art Online animation has become the ratings leader in the animation industry. Now that Steel is out, it seems that the internal fighting scenes in Xia Yan's works are about to be staged again. 】

[Genius cannot be described as Xia Yan. He is the god of the animation industry and the savior of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry. 】

Xia Yan got goosebumps when he saw the praise he received from the Long Kingdom media.

It’s the media that are having fun!

In order to attract traffic, they will do anything they can.

Moreover, my own fans love this trick, knowing that these media write these articles to fish for clicks.

But I just couldn’t help but click in and take a look.

Just this [Xia Yan Ganglian is once again a god, with a score of 9.1, it’s the black man who hired the navy to maliciously smear him! ]'s article had three million views and more than one million likes, which made Xia Yan laugh.

How can there be so many sunspots? The plot in the early stages of Steel Refining is slow, so the rating will definitely not be so high.

At least you have to wait until the first plot chapter is over for the ratings to slowly increase.

Just this can be considered as malicious black fans to gain points.

Xia Yan felt like his fans were stunned.

Let out a long sigh.

Xia Yan also felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? You're looking sad."

Tang Yin asked curiously as she and Xia Yan were riding to the event site to attend the press conference.

"Well, I feel like my fans praise me too much, a bit."

Xia Yan thought of cases in parallel worlds where popular public figures were brainlessly touted by their fans and ended up being cheated.

He expressed his worries a little bit.

"This" Tang Yin thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, your worries are very reasonable. Many stars in the Dragon Kingdom film and television field have been backlashed by the fanaticism. Although you are invincible in the second dimension world, fans of celebrities from other walks of life may not be happy with you. , when there is friction between the two sides."

Tang Yin thought about it, and then discussed it with Xia Yan, planning to allocate a fund in the company's operations department to guide the public opinion about Xia Yan on the Internet.

There's nothing wrong with fans liking him, but try not to let extreme groups sign up for the group, or some anti-fans who can't be criticized directly, act like fake fans and spies and cause trouble on the Internet in the name of Xia Yan fans.

At least, Xia Yan himself could feel the relevant signs after the steel broadcast.

Soon, Xia Yan and Tang Yin drove to the event site.

This event was naturally broadcast simultaneously on TV1 in Shanghai. Although it was just an interview event, it was broadcast in the afternoon.

It still received a ratings of more than 4%.

In addition, Xia Yan, Modu TV1, and GG merchants successively showed their presence and revealed the information they wanted to spread to the media.

for example

Xia Yan will be asked about it by reporters in almost every work he does.

[What are your expectations for the performance of your new animation? 】

If Xia Yan is asked to be more modest, he will often respond politely, "I hope I can surpass my past self and reach a higher level!"

But since what is being broadcast is Steel Refining, Xia Yan must not be modest.

If the commercial value of steel refining had to be compared with that of Mo Yuan and Lelouch, Xia Yan was really not confident, and even he himself found it difficult to compare.

But when it comes to the reputation, ratings and ratings of the work, Xia Yanzheng doesn't think Ganglian will lose.

Answer whatever you think.

[In my heart, I think Fullmetal is a better work than Magic Circle, Lelouch and Cyberpunk. As for the score, there is a high probability that it will be exceeded. 】

Therefore, the content of his interview also came alive in major forums in Dragon Kingdom at night.

a simple paragraph

It's better than spending 10 million to give Lelouch GG on the Internet.

"So he still wants to surpass himself in this work of Nao Nao Lao Zei?"

"I've said so, so that's for sure!"

"Can steel be surpassed by the Magic Circle, Lelouch?"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, the old thief seemed to have said something similar when Lelouch was serialized. Then everyone in the market thought that the old thief was just bragging, but what is the reality? Did Lelouch's final performance surpass that of the devil? round."

"But the BD sales market is still suppressed by Magic Circle. Although the TV ratings are super high, Lelouch's BD sales per volume are still not as good as Magic Circle. This shows that in fact, fans still think Magic Circle is good. As for the ratings, what about the ratings? Yes, Lao Zei’s popularity has exploded since then, which is much better than when Magic Circle was serialized. It’s normal for the ratings to be high.”

"I personally think that if Steel Reinforcement is evaluated from a fair and objective perspective, it will definitely be difficult to reach the level of Lelouch and Madoka. But if the ratings exceed it, there is still hope. The old thief is now almost a myth, and fans blindly believe it. This aspect of him has greatly contributed to the ratings of the work.”

"But steelmaking must also be of excellent quality."

"That's for sure, it depends on how the plot goes in the next few episodes of Steel. If the opening chapter is interesting and the fans are solidified, then it's not impossible for the old thief to surpass his performance."

"But Lelouch's last episode has almost reached an average rating of 7%! Could it be that... the old thief wants Steel to hit this historical record?"

Throughout the week, various information about steelmaking, fueled by various activities of Magic City TV1, Xia Tang Animation, and Xia Yan, spread wildly in the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional industry.

Fans passively accept this information, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance.

This is an operation by Xia Yan and other groups to manage the fame of their works.

The quality of the first episode of Steelmaking can only be said to be good, far from being as good as God. It is definitely not the result of normal development to have this kind of heated discussion.

Too much hype in the market.

Will this work be overly praised, and then suddenly the plot will not be right for a week or two, and the reputation will suddenly reverse?

It's another Sunday.

The second episode of Fullmetal Alchemist, airing regularly.

The second episode of Steelmaking, as everyone imagined, is indeed a flashback plot.

In the first episode, after getting rid of the pope in the desert town who had the Philosopher's Stone and acted like a ghost, Edward and his brother discovered that the Philosopher's Stone in his hand was a counterfeit. They had no choice but to leave the town and embark on the journey again. .

The perspective quickly switched to the childhood of Edward and his younger brother Alphonse.

At this point, it can be said that the main plot of the animation Steel Refining begins.

The two brothers Edward and Alphonse, and the cute little girl Wendy, have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Wendy has shown extraordinary talent in machinery since she was a child.

Brothers Edward and Alphonse have had a strong interest in alchemy since childhood.

The opening minutes of the second episode portray the happy childhood of the Edward brothers.

Although they have never met their father, the two brothers have a gentle and beautiful mother who was born in a peaceful and quiet town.

Then

It’s only been a few minutes since fans were immersed in this plot.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, Xia Yan's unique sword technique appeared.

The two brothers' mother became weak due to illness and then died.

In their mother's belongings, the two found a note written by their father they had never seen before. In this note, they introduced in detail how to become a human body.

In fact, fans of Dragon Kingdom will understand after seeing this why one of the two brothers lost his arms and legs and the other lost his entire body when they grew up.

It turns out that everything was caused here. The two brothers must have been unable to accept their mother's death, and then wanted to use alchemy to resurrect their mother, but in the end, alchemy backfired.

The plot is not difficult to guess. Fans with a little experience can easily guess it after seeing this development.

Just because you have guessed it doesn't mean you can watch this animation with a calm attitude and perspective.

The work "Steel" was created by a female cartoonist. Unlike the shounen comics created by male cartoonists, the male cartoonists' portrayal of death and sacrifice often only make readers feel angry and vengeful.

Shonen comics created by female cartoonists, such as Steel and Demon Slayer, often focus on details and psychological portrayal, making readers feel the cruelty of the worldview.

In the animation, the two brothers became disabled and armored, but the result

What really touched the audience was the two brothers' reflections on alchemy and their taboo behavior after they failed to create human bodies.

At the age of ten, I knew the cruelty of the world, that the dead could not come back, and that wrong attempts to undo the past would only lead to bigger mistakes.

"Probably, items that can be exchanged for mother's life with equal value do not exist in this world!"

Edward, who was only ten years old, watched his brother turn into armor with only his soul attached, looked at the steel arms and legs he had installed, and said these words in a low voice.

That’s why they failed!

The iron principle of alchemy is exchange of equal value. If you want to save your mother's life, what can you exchange for it?

This night in Dragon Kingdom, I don’t know how many fans got goosebumps when they saw this.

Then there are tears

This is what the ten-year-old protagonist Edward realized after losing his limbs and his brother's body.

The entire work, starting from the second episode, at least the depth and connotation of the work began to rise.
