Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

At the beginning, many people were not very optimistic about Natsume's Book of Friends.

In fact, a similar situation has happened before. Jing Yu also had the three dramas of Gossip, Steins;Gate, and Stands broadcasting at the same time.

At that time, these three dramas obviously had a priority.

Facts have proved that the performance of the stand-in is far inferior to that of Steins;Gate and Chess Soul.

And this season, many people think that this Natsume's Book of Friends should be far less successful, and the winner is justice.

But actually

The situation is completely different.

On the contrary, Natsume's Book of Friends is popular from behind, but after the third episode is broadcast, the popularity will overtake the winner, which is justice.

"I'm so touched every Monday!"

"Natsume's Book of Friends is the strongest! I love this work."

"Healing small class every Friday, I have been in the class for a week, and I have accumulated a lot of grievances in my heart, but I feel at ease after watching the latest episode of Natsume's Book of Friends at night."

"Mr. Jing Yu should have filmed this kind of drama earlier! Why are you addicted to those depressing dramas before? Natsume's Book of Friends is touching to watch, but works that can make people smile after tears are more meaningful. !"

"Anyway, I like this drama to death. Its biggest shortcoming is that it is too short. An episode lasts only 20 minutes, which is uncomfortable."

"But thinking about it the other way around, this is Natsume's Book of Friends! If this drama drags on for a long and stinky episode, then I won't have this feeling."

"Originally, my best friend didn't like to watch dramas on video sites. I strongly encouraged her to watch Natsume's Book of Friends. Now, after watching Natsume for two consecutive Friday nights, she would call me for half an hour to discuss the plot. "

"I think Natsume's Book of Friends is much better than Winner Is Justice and last season's Destiny Zero Medicine! It's just that the special effects production is a bit overdone, other than that, the plot really has nothing to say."

"Me too. Apart from the reminiscences, this is my favorite work of Mr. Jing Yu's works. If it is broadcast on TV, I think the ratings will definitely be higher than Winner Is Justice."

"Support Natsume's Book of Friends, please help Natsume's Book of Friends to spread the word, don't let this good show get buried."

Since the end of April, fans of Natsume's Account of Friends have been somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the show's influence is lower than that of the winner is justice. Instead, they are frantically promoting Natsume's Account of Friends on the official websites and forums of major TV stations.

Their actions were indeed effective, and the average payment amount of Natsume's account of friends soon exceeded 9 million, moving towards 10 million.

Seeing this situation, the executives of Qingyun Video were also very happy.

They were also a little worried that Jing Yu's work was a contract drama, and they didn't write the script seriously, which is why an episode lasts more than 20 minutes.

But now, this kind of discussion among internal personnel has also disappeared.

At the end of April, Jing Yu was invited by the department staff of Qingyun Video to attend the company banquet.

After all, Jing Yu is not only a strategic partner of Qingyun.com, but also the second shareholder of the company.

Of course, Jing Yu basically followed Che Kaijun when he held a shareholder meeting. He voted as he said, and he would vote as long as he made any company strategic decision. The company employees of the video site do seem a bit salty.

But the more than ten percent of Qingyun.com's stock in his hand is the real deal. Not only has the value of Qingyun.com doubled or tripled with the increase in the valuation of Qingyun.com, in fact, the employees of Qingyun.com who are connected with Jingyu Company , and he didn't dare to neglect Jing Yu at all. After all, although Jing Yu didn't seem to care much, what if he planned to do a big job on Qingyun.com one day? The big boss, Che Kaijun, is the boss, so can the second boss, Jing Yu, be negligent?

So that night, Jing Yu also spent a few hours attending the staff banquet of the Qingyun video website, but many people were extremely restrained in front of him.

Jing Yu didn't care about that, and also communicated a lot with the people on the Qingyun video website. For example, the production department of Qingyun.com hopes to start a follow-up long-term exclusive broadcast cooperation with Blue Star Culture Company.

They even directly targeted Jing Yu's Evangelion.

But this kind of request was a bit too taken for granted. Jing Yu found a reason to decline the other party. He is the second shareholder of Qingyun.com, but the focus of his career is still on Blue Star Culture.

From the perspective of income, the most profitable option is to distribute Jing Yu's works on all platforms.

Evangelion Qingyun.com's family can't afford it, and Jing Yu can't even recoup the cost of doing exclusive broadcasts for them.

After all, Qingyun.com currently has only over 70 million registered users, so it doesn't have such a big market. Jing Yu will be interested in discussing this kind of matter when Qingyun.com has developed to more than 200 million registrations.

It's early May.

Auditions for the cast members of Evangelion are also going on one after another.

Jing Yu mainly cared about the selection of Ikogendo, Katsuragi Misato, Nagisa Xun and other roles. Jing Yu personally auditioned and selected these roles, while Cheng Lie was responsible for the selection of other roles.

What's more, in addition to the excellent special effects production requirements of the Evangelion drama, Jing Yu is also very concerned about the service of the characters in the drama.

Although many scenes are produced with special effects, the driving scenes of the protagonists driving the first machine and the second machine have to be shot by real people.

Not only does it need to entrust the manufacturer to customize the outside of the cockpit that meets the settings, but also the combat uniforms of the characters in the play.

And these things, to be honest, cost a lot of money.

Although the crew has not yet been formally established and filming has begun, these preparatory work also cost money like running water.

Fortunately, Jing Yu has earned enough funds from so many dramas in the past few years. Otherwise, if he switches to another company's crew, he may run out of filming funds before the drama starts shooting.

"How do you feel? A twenty-eight-year-old middle-aged man pretends to be a high school student."

Jing Yu, who had previously responded to his stylist's suggestion to cut off the long hair for the aesthetic image in the eyes of fans, and changed into a white shirt and school uniform, said to his girlfriend Yu Youqing.

"No, no, it's not suitable for this role. It doesn't depend on the actual age of the actor, but on the age of the actor."

Yu Youqing changed into a fiery red dress, and the stylist combed her hair into a headdress according to Jing Yu's design. When she saw Jing Yu's outfit, her eyes lit up.

After all, if Jing Yu was not filming, he would be dressed in a suit and leather shoes every day. After all, he wanted to maintain the majesty of his boss in the eyes of the company's subordinates.

So looking at Jing Yu's middle-aged costume after a long absence also reminded her of the time when she and Jing Yu filmed those campus love dramas together.

A few years have passed, and the relationship between the two has changed, but the appearance of the two seems to have stayed in the original Lancheng period.

Whether she continues to play the young girl Asuka or Jing Yu plays the young Ikari Shinji, there is no sense of disobedience at all.

Jing Yu carefully looked at himself and Yu Youqing in the mirror, and nodded after finding nothing wrong.

Although he has an addiction to drama, everything is based on the premise of not conflicting with the character setting.

If he finds out that his or Yu Youqing's costume is not suitable for the role, he will definitely switch to another person for filming immediately without hesitation.

"I told you two to pay attention to the occasion."

In another dressing room, Xia Yining also came out wearing a light blue school uniform, black socks, and white shoes

She once played the role of Yukiyo in Rurouni Kenshin, and the role of Yukiyo was designed based on Rei Ayanami, so it is not a big problem to perform.

The difference is only in appearance. First of all, besides making money, Jing Yu makes these manga works more for his own hobby.

Therefore, he would not change the costumes set in the original work without changing them.

But also because of this, what is the most outrageous setting in the original work?

Jing Yu thinks it's the hair color.

In the two-dimensional works, there is no girl who has a normal Asian hair color in her previous life.

Red, yellow, blue, green, indigo and purple, all kinds of hairs are available.

But generally there are red-haired monsters and golden-haired monsters in the majority.

The character Ayanami Rei looks like her hair color is silver in the original animation, but in fact her set hair color is sky blue.

As for Soru Asuka, it is brown

It is generally not surprising that these settings appear in anime works, but in live-action dramas

Whether the audience will find it strange or not depends on the appearance.

Just like the coser in the manga exhibition, if you are an average-looking, average-figure cosplayer with some popular anime characters, you may feel that you are all kinds of killers.

What kind of golden hair and pink hair, it looks all kinds of strange.

But if the coser lady is a big beauty, then the senses will be completely different, saying that is killing Matt? I said the man was blind.

So Jing Yu looked at Yu Youqing, who was wearing a brown wig, and Xia Yining, who was wearing a sky blue wig in school uniform, and let out a sigh of relief

At least, even he, a person who has actually been in contact with the original work, thinks that these two people's costumes are quite beautiful, so it should be a low probability event that the audience in Dazhou will feel uncomfortable.

"I said, Jingyu, why do you suddenly want to make a school drama again? You've been in love too much, so you express your feelings?" Xia Yining narrowed her eyes and looked at Jing Yu and Yu Youqing.

Although the relationship between the two of them was hidden from her at the beginning, how long can this kind of thing be kept hidden? Within two months, Xia Yining was fully aware of it.

At that moment, her heart just broke down.

It was agreed to compete fairly with Yu Youqing, but now, she still doesn't know how Yu Youqing managed to break through the fort and steal the house.

It's just that the sadness in my heart is definitely unavoidable. It's rare to say that you love adult love to death. Although Xia Yining likes Jing Yu, she doesn't like her without a bottom line. Since Jing Yu has chosen Yu Youqing, she nature will restrain

However, occasionally I still can't control my emotions, such as now

Jing Yu and Xia Yining's expressions were frozen, and it was difficult to strike up a conversation.

"Speaking of which, is this a love triangle again? This is the first love triangle drama that I have collaborated with Jing Yuyi and Sister Yu! White Album 2 is one, and Steins;Gate. Oh, yes. , April can also be counted. This time there is another Evangelion. I said that Jing Yu is at least in the play. You have to let me win sister Yu once this time. I can’t always win or lose the role I play. Ah!" Xia Yi deliberately teased Jing Yu.

"Ah, hahaha, you can think about it. Let's talk about it." Jing Yu hurriedly laughed and skipped this topic.

But to be honest, how should the ending of Evangelion be calculated?

Although there are love elements, but compared with what this work wants to explore, love is too small.

After the three of them glanced at each other, they each had something on their minds.

But after a while, the photographer called the three of them to take pictures.

After all, the sooner the better to promote this thing, the audience may not know what kind of work Evangelion is, but Jing Yu doesn't need to explain so much.

[Written by Jing Yu, played by Jing Yu] These eight words are enough in the current Dazhou film and television drama market, and the rest will be left to the audience's imagination before the drama is broadcast.

In fact, there are still some roles that have not been finalized until now, but it is impossible for Jing Yu to just wait like this.

The sooner the filming of Evangelion series starts, the better. Jing Yu doesn't want to make a work for two or three years. The audience has this patience, but he doesn't even have it.

It is best to produce it and then broadcast it in the spring and summer of next year.

So now let the show start shooting as soon as possible, and then let the special effects company produce post-production special effects according to his requirements.

Jing Yu, Xia Yining, and Yu Youqing cooperated with the photographer to take pictures for an afternoon.

That night, for the first time, Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company opened a subpage of Evangelion episodes on the company's official website.

and in it

Impressively uploaded forty-seven photos of the three major characters of Ikari Shinji, Soru Asuka, and Ayanami Rei.

In the time period of Thursday night, when there are almost no major dramas broadcast in the Dazhou TV industry, this is great news for the fans of Dazhou's film and television dramas.

It took less than half a minute for the official website to update this page. Fans of Jing Yu discovered the special page of Evangelion, and even saw the makeup photos of the three major characters on the special page, as well as

Soru Asuka, who tends towards brown hair, has a lively expression and delicate skin

Rei Ayanami with long sky-blue hair has a calm and beautiful face, full of coolness, that appearance makes many fans think that it is the Yukiyo reborn in Rurouni Kenshin.

The rest is Ikari Shinji played by Jing Yu

White shirt, school trousers. Ordinary clothing, extraordinary wearer.

There is always a hint of melancholy in his expression, and he doesn't need to say a word, just by looking at his appearance, he can feel his indecision.

It can be said that changing the image of an actor out of the country, I am afraid that the audience has already been criticized.

But if this character is Jing Yu, everything will change.

In the comment section of the official website, everyone commented that Jing Yu's photos are so handsome.

Jing Yu's female fans have been waiting for Jing Yu to film a drama in person, especially this kind of drama that seems to have love triangle elements. They have been waiting for almost two years.

Obviously the original work is a melancholy and ordinary boy, but now in the eyes of fans, it is a self-added filter to become a melancholy little prince.

In addition to the photos on the official website, there are some short introductions about the three major characters.

In less than an hour, these news quickly spread among the major film and television drama forums and fan groups in Dazhou.

Gan, tonight is more Calvin than last night. Damn.
