A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

This episode of Fullmetal Alchemist has no fighting scenes, it is all literary drama.

Nina's father was captured by the national law enforcement officers informed by Edward, and just when the audience thought that this episode ended here.

Scar, a new character who appeared in the middle of this episode and was wanted, appeared.

He had a strong hatred for the national alchemist, and met Nina who had turned into an alchemist.

Looking at its current monster body, the religious person did not hesitate, and finally gave Nina a quick death.

He killed the alchemist that Nina had turned into with his hand with strange power.

After this ending appeared.

That night, countless animation fans in Longguo were silenced by this plot.

My heart was inexplicably heavy.

What went wrong here?

"Damn, I can't accept it!"

"It's only the sixth episode and he's already started to torture?"

"Has Lao Zei finally stopped pretending? The childhood memories of Edward and his brother just ended, and he's ready to start to torture?"

"I can see the psychological shadow."

"In fact, there are many works that have plots like this where people are turned into animals, but why do I feel so uncomfortable in Fullmetal Alchemist!"

"Maybe it's because the character is well-shaped. When Edward took the national alchemist exam, Nina cheered for Edward. This little girl is quite likable, but she was inexplicably turned into a dog by her father?"

"I feel so uncomfortable!"

"Nina's father is indeed quite hateful, but it feels like there is something wrong with this world."

"This evil world."

"This animation of Lao Zei feels different from his previous works."

"Why is it different?"

"In fact, his previous works are still the kind of works where the protagonist halo is flying high, and the world view is a bit second-year. But in Fullmetal Alchemist, I don't think the protagonist has any powerful protagonist halo, and the world created is quite tragic, not only the protagonist, but also other supporting characters Yes. "

"To be honest, I have watched the animation of Fullmetal Alchemist for such a long time, but I don't feel that the plot is exciting at all. It is abusive throughout, but I just can't stop watching it."

"Human Transformation. It feels like cloning. I understand why cloning is not allowed in the world. It is not just an ethical issue."

"Although the animation of Old Thief has only been aired for a few episodes, it feels that the depth of the work is the deepest among all his works."

"Don't be optimistic yet, after all, it has only been aired for a few episodes. Let's see how it performs later."

"Although I was so uncomfortable watching the plot tonight, I still praise it. Blast Fullmetal Alchemist, that is Old Thief, I must scold him tonight. I know that he created these plots to let us, the audience, know the cruelty of the alchemist world and let us understand what "equivalent exchange" means, but as the creator of the work, he is undoubtedly the culprit for Nina's tragic fate. "

"I want to scold him under Old Thief's account, but I think I won't waste my time. This guy has been scolded for so many years and has never changed his bad habits. I guess he has gotten used to it.

"The first time I watched an animation, I thought it was very good, but I just didn't want to watch it a second time."

"Me too, when Lelouch was broadcast last year, I would watch the replay every second day, but I don't think Fullmetal Alchemist is worse than Lelouch, but I don't want to watch it a second time. The more I watch it, the heavier it gets."

"But the ratings of Fullmetal Alchemist's works have been rising week by week. It was only 9.1 or 9.2 when it was broadcast, and now it's 9.6."

"If Old Thief's animation can maintain the height of this episode, I feel that it will definitely surpass the performance of Lelouch. "

"And the cruelest thing is that Edward saw everything with his own eyes, but he was powerless. He couldn't change the world, couldn't change the surroundings, and couldn't even find his lost arms and legs. Ordinary people are straw, and so are alchemists like the protagonist Edward. Alas."

All night long, discussions about the sixth episode of Fullmetal Alchemist continued.

Compared to the broadcast in the previous few weeks, the popularity was even stronger.

Of course, Xia Yan expected such a reaction in the market.

Fullmetal Alchemist has so many episodes, and the touching feeling brought by this episode of Parasyte is definitely at the forefront.

However, the topic discussion heat generated by this episode was with the cooperation of Xia Tang Animation and TV1 in Magic City. Starting from the next day, major media in the whole Dragon Country also reported it.

[The seventh episode of Fullmetal Alchemist shocked fans, and countless animation fans were in a low mood that night.]

[The man started his depression journey again. After graduating from college, Xia Yan's new work is more mature, breaking the previous negative assumptions of the industry about him.]

[Ordinary human experiments, this kind of plot is not common in many animations All of them, but Fullmetal Alchemist made the audience reflect after watching it. This is the difference between Xia Yan, the first animator in Longguo, and others. 】

【The child was eliminated, and the plot of the sixth episode of Fullmetal Alchemist was dark. 】

【An animation that only adults can understand. Equivalent exchange, human body refining, and exploration of ethics and human nature. The commercial value of Fullmetal Alchemist may not be as good as that of Lelouch for the time being, but the depth and ideological connotation of its works undoubtedly surpass Lelouch. 】

【I have watched anime for 20 years, and this is the first time I have watched anime that broke my defense. 】

【In the sixth episode of Fullmetal Alchemist, Nina's father may be really crazy, but if you think about it carefully, the distortion of his humanity is just an appearance. What is really distorted is the world in the animation. 】

【Xia Yan's new work Fullmetal Alchemist, which has been released after more than half a year, has shown his strength again after the sixth episode was broadcast. That night, all the ridicules in Longguo that were revealed because of the slow plot of the first five episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist disappeared. 】

These media in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry have basically formed a routine now.

Anyway, if you name Xia Yan and his works for whatever reason, you don't have to worry about no one reading them.

Coupled with the promotions of Xia Tang Animation and Modu TV1, this February.

Fullmetal Alchemist has been on the hot search lists of major websites for the next few days.

The employees in Xia Yan's company finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

After all, the sixth episode’s ratings of 6.33% are impeccable.

and

The animation length of Steel Refining is still very long. Even if it takes time to grind out, I feel that with the current momentum, it is very possible to surpass Lelouch.

Soon, another few weeks passed.

The plot of Steel Refining is no longer slow-moving after the Nina Parasite Beast chapter.

The mysterious scarred man Scar, the popular character "Alchemist of Fire", Colonel Roy.

President

Philosopher's Stone.

Massacre of Ishbar

These worldview settings in Fullmetal Alchemist are exposed bit by bit.

The plot scenes no longer follow the two protagonists, the Edward brothers, but are derived from other characters.

The shaping of the supporting characters in this work "Gang Lian" can be said to be outstanding among all the works in the parallel world.

It is completely different from some popular works, except for the protagonist and heroine, few people remember the highlights of other characters.

In the work "Steel", the popularity of the two Edward brothers is actually lower than that of many supporting characters. In this regard, they are very similar to the hunter next door.

But in short

Fast forward to the end of February, two months after the launch of Steel Refining, its ratings have stabilized.

Basically, the 6% ratings range is the conventional limit for the Longguo TV industry. If you want to go to the next level, it will only be possible if the plot of the work reaches a climax, or the selling of emotions must be completed.

Time has entered March, and the market no longer has the same crazy reports on steelmaking as before.

Fans are tired of aesthetics, and so are the audiences.

Everyone can see the quality of Steel's animation, and fans don't need to read the flattering comments from the media to make their own informed judgments.

On the contrary, everyone's current focus is on the Slam Dunk and Initial D animations that will be aired next quarter.

As for Steel, there is no suspense that it will definitely be the animation hegemony this quarter, but whether Steel can hold on to its throne and even win the title of the hegemonic work in the animation industry this year.

The biggest enemy is still Xia Yan himself.

The Initial D comic has been brewing for two years and was finally produced by a top animation company in the Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, the production company behind Initial D does not want to compete with Xia Yan, but Xia Yan has new works every quarter this year, and it is difficult for others to avoid Xia Yan.

Anyway, they are all Xia Yan's works, and they can get a share of Xia Yan's huge traffic, so what are you afraid of?

Therefore, the Initial D animation is urgently scheduled.

And the first season of the Sword Art Online anime.

Because Xia Yan later published a lot of single-line novel plots about the attack chapter, the animation production team naturally included these contents in the TV animation.

This also allowed the plot of the sao chapter to be serialized for almost half a year.

The animation was finally completed.

Moreover, the Attack novel contains many chapters, and Liuli Publishing House is already contacting top domestic and foreign animated film production companies to make it into an animated film and then release it in theaters.

The sao chapter of the first season has been aired, and the producers behind the Sword Art Online animation are also preparing to take a break for more than half a year before airing the alo chapter of the second season.

Therefore, in April, the Longguo animation market lost a strong competitor.

Although it has not arrived yet, everyone in the entire industry understands that it must be the three pillars of steel, slam dunk, and Initial D.

The formation of this situation also made Xia Yan confused.

He really didn't expect that one day, under his own leadership, these three works would be broadcast and compete in the same time period.

The emergence of this situation has also become the focus of discussion in the animation market in March.

"The old thief has no rivals now? Can he only fight himself?"

"It feels so funny! Why are my colleagues who are old thieves in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry so miserable?"

"Last year, after finishing Lelouch, I finally felt confident. A bunch of rookies had been pecking each other for half a year. I didn't expect that this year, all the old thieves would be killed!"

"Looking at the information on the official website, after Initial D is animated, it will take at least a year or more to complete the comic content. And Steel Lian will definitely not be completed this year, and will have to wait until next year. Slam Dunk It’s unclear what’s going on with the anime, but the official website information is that the first season will have fifty episodes, and there may be a second season, and then there will be the Tengen Breakthrough half-year series aired in July, and the Kamonogatari season aired in October. In fact, as long as you are patient, you will see five old movies released in the same quarter by the end of the year, such as "Steel", "Slam Dunk", "Kamonogatari", "Initial D" and "Tengen Breakthrough".

"Haha. I can already feel the despair of the old thief's colleagues."

"The three major animation companies in the Dragon Kingdom have not produced any phenomenal animation works in the past year or two. They are declining very fast."

"The market is so big. When old thieves rise, other companies will naturally suffer. Which industry is not like this? Survival of the fittest."

"To be honest, I am a fan of Lao Zai, but I really want to watch Lao Zai fight once. I can't stand it anymore. Every quarter, Lao Zai's works are the most popular."

"Haha, don't think too much. If I have to say, Slam Dunk in April is likely to fail. It's not that I don't believe in Lao Zei's creative ability, but basketball is not very popular in Longguo. If Lao Zei makes a table tennis master or a diving master, there will definitely be more fans watching."

"Want to see Lao Zei fail? Then ask him to create a football master. No one wants to watch the Chinese national football team plot in the animation."

"Don't be embarrassing. Longguo football at least made it to the World Cup group stage three years ago."

"Slam Dunk won't fail. The work with the highest production cost per episode in Longguo's history failed. Do you think it's possible?"

After entering March, Fullmetal Alchemy has been broadcast for nearly ten episodes, and the world view, plot, system settings, etc. have been revealed. The curiosity of fans has gradually faded and they have become fans of the show.

Xia Yan has been famous for several years, and fans are no longer as uncommon as before.

The plot of Fullmetal Alchemy is getting better and better, and the reputation and ratings are all rising.

But fans will only take it for granted.

After all, it is Xia Yan's work, so it will definitely become better and better!

Just like in the parallel world, Hayao Miyazaki created Spirited Away, isn't that normal? This is in line with Hayao Miyazaki's strength.

But if a passerby created the animated film Spirited Away, it would definitely be praised by the industry.

Different status, different reactions from fans.

At this time, time has entered the second half of spring, and the temperature in the Magic City is gradually rising.

It's Xia Yan's favorite season again, after all, he is still afraid of the cold.

Sitting in the office, signing the notice on the establishment of the company's game department.

And also signed documents to prepare for the release of Doraemon and Pokemon comic single volumes and game production funding.

Xia Yan did not serialize the derivative comics and novels of the two works on Liuli and Beizhou. It's very simple, he doesn't want to have copyright disputes.

But the single volumes of the two works must be released. First rely on comics, novels and other works to spread the IP content, and then wait for the game department to develop related games for sale. This... is the key point.

But the time span will be slower.

But Xia Yan has plenty of patience. If everything goes well, he should be able to see the initial incubation of the IPs of Pokémon and Doraemon when he is less than 30 years old.

Today, Xia Yan no longer supervises the company's business in every detail like in previous years.

In the past, the company would check the finished animations after they were made, and discuss with the production team on how to change them. Now

He only works a little harder on weekends. After completing the scripts of the four works the company is producing, he spends two days on weekdays writing the storyboard drafts of Hunter and the 20,000-word novels serialized weekly in Sword Art Online. The rest of the time he basically handles the company's operating affairs.

Acquire some peripheral manufacturers and game production companies, and then the company is also starting to set up film and TV departments, plus the game department that Xia Yan has already allocated funds to set up.

This series of operations by Xia Tang Animation has also aroused the vigilance of many peers in the Dragon Country's two-dimensional world.

Xia Yan's actions are very obvious, that is, he is working on a large entertainment plan for the two-dimensional industry.

Games, novels, comics, animations, and peripherals

Connect the upstream and downstream industrial chains of your own works' IPs and stimulate the commercial value of your works to the limit.

There are many companies and investors in Longguo who have this idea, but few have succeeded.

But if Xia Yan is going to do this.

Many of Xia Yan's colleagues were terrified as soon as they thought about it.

Xia Yan is already the number one in the comics industry, the number one in the novel industry, and the number one in the animation industry. He has capital

He has a natural advantage in doing these things.

It's just that his colleagues are vigilant, but there is nothing they can do, and they can't learn from Xia Yan.

Just in March, Xia Yan's company recruited a large number of people in the industry.

April, summer, came quietly.
