Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

At the end of June, the Yu-Gi-Oh TV broadcast promotion was officially launched.

In the past, Jing Yu's works were adapted into games after the TV series became popular, this is the first time his popular game has been adapted into a film and television drama.

But to be honest, Jing Yu didn't expect too much from Yu-Gi-Oh's reputation after the broadcast.

Generally speaking, works like Yu-Gi-Oh are still cool and Xiaobai-themed works. Although they are highly commercial, the plot of the original work basically depends on how the creator made it up. Once the protagonist encounters a battle that cannot be solved At that time, one or two god-level cards that had never been seen before appeared on the scene.

It will feel very powerful when you swipe it for the first time, but when you swipe it for the second time and three times, you can feel the deliberate visual sense of the plot is very strong.

Jing Yu made this work only to promote Yu-Gi-Oh to a greater extent, so as to prepare for the release of peripherals and second-generation games.

So after a wave of publicity before Yu-Gi-Oh's broadcast, Jing Yu didn't put too much energy on it.

Now the company has already approved the project of Reaper next year, and Slam Dunk still has a lot of detailed settings for the works waiting for him to deal with.

The company is currently launching more than a dozen movies, games, and TV drama projects at the same time. Even if Jing Yu is only responsible for the most critical part of each project, the accumulated workload is very large.

Wait until July 1st, the Yu-Gi-Oh TV series will be officially broadcast.

Jing Yu did not stay in the company with the project-related personnel, but returned home to watch the premiere with his angry wife Yu Youqing.

Although the production time of the TV series was less than a year, the strength and speed of Bluestar's cooperative companies in the industry are still guaranteed, and the special effects production of the bunch of monsters that appear in Yu-Gi-Oh is still of a certain level.

Of course, for a TV series with an investment of only 100 to 200 million yuan, it is obviously unrealistic to expect its special effects to be comparable to those of Jingyu's previous reunion and Transformers movies, but it is definitely 10,000 times stronger than five-second special effects.

After the premiere, the audience responded unanimously, with a score of 9.2 on the whole network and an audience rating of 10.11% for the first episode.

Jing Yu, who saw the data the next day, also sighed. In fact, it really made him think that the drama of Notebook must be more exciting than Yu-Gi-Oh!

But there is a gap between the ratings of the two works, just like Jing Yu's previous life, the recognized top movies like Shawshank had the same box office, and everyone thought that the popcorn movie Avengers had the highest box office.

Of course, in fact, in recent years, while the ratings of Jing Yu’s works have increased significantly in recent years, some fans have criticized Jing Yu’s works for being too commercial and ignoring other details. The work that comes out is strong.

In this regard, although people are complaining about Jing Yu, but he also thinks.

Those works with super high reputation, touching, and touching people often don't have particularly high grades, and their commerciality is average.

But it is precisely these special effects, fighting eye-catching works, ratings, and playback volume will be very high.

But all in all, now Jingyu Company has one or two thousand people, even if he is responsible for the thousands of families of his employees, it is unlikely to produce those works with low commercial value.

After all, what he can take out, the works of his previous life are huge, and there is no way to carry them all, but his time is limited.

so.

It was only a few days before the broadcast of Yu-Gi-Oh, there were similar complaints, and after that, the audience happily immersed in the plot of Yu-Gi-Oh.

For the same popular work, who makes money in the game and TV series?

There is no doubt that it must be a game.

But games and TV dramas will have more audiences and more attention.

There is no doubt that it is a TV series.

A game bought by 10 million people can make the manufacturer a lot of money, and the founder will not worry about half of his life.

But a TV show that only 10 million people watch.

In the big week, it is definitely not a fire, it can only be said to be a pass.

The advertising fee for Yu-Gi-Oh TV series, naming rights, broadcasting copyright sales, and the revenue from broadcasting on video sites are actually not too outrageous.

Compared with its production cost, the yield is average.

But it shines in another area.

It's around the work

As early as last year, the battle cards, figures and other peripherals that have become popular among game players, in this July, they were once again bought by fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh TV series and even the whole world.

Jing Yu still remembered that when he was in primary school in his previous life, the canteen at the school gate sold 50 cents packs of battle cards, each pack of ten cards.

He didn't even eat breakfast, so he took the breakfast money from his family to buy those cards, and fought monsters directly with his elementary school classmates after dinner after school.

Even this thing is not only used in duels, for example, classmates squatting on the ground to play cards together, according to different rules, the winner can take away the loser's card, or playing glass marbles, the winner also takes the loser's card.

Most of the time, children's happiness is as simple as that. They don't necessarily love the game of monster duel, but they simply buy these cards, and then take them out to look at them every now and then, and they are very satisfied.

And this kind of situation. There are signs after the broadcast of the TV series.

Most of the people who bought cards before were players, but now, when they click on major video sites, a group of teenagers post some duel card duel videos.

Some students in many cities frantically bought card packs, just to get a blue-eyed white dragon in their cards.

You are the first in the class in the grade test, and the only person who envies you is the second place in the grade, but if you have a blue-eyed white dragon in your hand, not to mention a limited edition card, even if it is just a blue-eyed white dragon with an ordinary class card, it is still a classmate. The focus of a group of boys.

Therefore, in July, Bluestar Film and Television Culture Company's income from the film and television dramas of Yu-Gi-Oh was actually mediocre.

However, the revenue from peripheral products is estimated to be two or three times higher than the hottest month after Jing Yu's previous Yu-Gi-Oh game was released.

For Yu-Gi-Oh, a game that is a global hit, its peripheral copyright sales data cannot be hidden, and Jing Yu is not prepared to hide it.

As long as colleagues want to know, there are ways to know the sales data of Yu-Gi-Oh in July.

And this amount of data directly made a group of colleagues feel blocked.

envious?

envy?

Or there are other possibilities, but in the end everyone just sighed helplessly.

"This is really impossible to copy."

"In the past, what kind of chess spirit did Jingyu create, and some people learned to shoot some chess-themed works. He made giants, Gundam, etc. There are similar TV series. But this Yu-Gi-Oh. , you have to design it yourself from start to finish.”

"So there is no way for Yu-Gi-Oh's games to follow suit!"

"It's outrageous. Blue Star will probably earn more than 100 million to 200 million yuan this month if it relies on Yu-Gi-Oh, the work of Yu-Gi-Oh.

"I'm afraid your data is quite conservative. You are only domestic data. Yu-Gi-Oh is not only in China, but it is also crazy overseas."

"Now on the list of upcoming games in the world, Yu-Gi-Oh! 2 is directly ranked fourth on the anticipation list. In front of it is Pokémon 2 and the sequels of two masterpieces that have been around for more than 20 years. do."

"Not only Yu-Gi-Oh, but the Pokémon TV series broadcast in winter is probably a concept. As far as I know, Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company and the top five large toy manufacturers in the big week have placed huge orders. Directly connect with the design department of others, and develop toy peripherals together, especially Pokémon...that is one or two hundred types of elf peripherals in different shapes."

"Actually, what I don't understand is, haven't these two games been online for almost a year? Why are they still so popular?"

"Who knows? Look at Jingyu's giant, it was so popular last year, and it's actually the same after more than a year after it ended, and the sales volume of peripheral products is also average for a month, but in fact, after the game was released last year, peripheral sales of Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon The sales volume has always been high, and this month only benefited from the launch of the TV series, the sales of Yu-Gi-Oh! peripheral products doubled or tripled.”

"Although many people say that Jingyu's original intentions are not at the beginning, and the works he is working on now are all commercial things, but I want to say, isn't this normal? If there is a work, it can bring you tens of millions of income every month. If you don’t create it, then it’s funny.”

"Hey, I'm envious, let's not talk about it. They started from the bottom, and became a giant in the film and television game industry in ten years. I have been in the game industry for twenty years, and now I still have eight years to pay off the mortgage. This gap"

In the communication groups of various game practitioners, they were frantically discussing the sales data of Jingyu Company's two most profitable games, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh.

They actually think that the current Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon are at their peak, but in fact, they are far from that stage. Up to now, the two works have only continued to grow in popularity and fans step by step according to Jing Yu's plan.

July is over, August is coming

Compared with the first season of the TV series, it only corresponds to the Duel Island chapter in the game, because the content of the original work is really huge, and many contents of Jing Yu have to be deleted to a certain extent, but basically the viewing experience is quite good, gamers Also unanimously praised. The ratings of TV dramas also rose to between 11% and 12%, reaching the peak, no longer rising, and no longer falling.

Soon, August also passed away, and September came.

At this time, there are actually two main characters in Jingyu Company.

Start promoting the Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon II games that will be released at the end of the year.

In addition, it also promotes the broadcast of Pokémon TV series.

In fact, the behavior of Blue Star Film and Television Company in the second half of the year is also very single, which revolves around the two works of Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh.

If you really want to say that the TV series produced a phenomenon-level sensation like a giant, it would be unreasonable. Although the ratings are high, most of the audience just want to have fun.

It's just that these people are now, in fact, because after watching the TV series, they are easily attracted by the information about the release of the second-generation game

"So the end of November and the end of December? Two games."

"That's right."

"I won't talk about Pokémon. I guess it's still the kind of open world game. The gameplay should be similar to the previous game. Farming, breeding, fighting, and collecting can be played in a variety of ways, but Yu-Gi-Oh. How do you make a sequel? game."

"I heard it's a change of protagonist! The world view remains the same, and another protagonist is supported. And it is said that the second-generation game is different from the first-generation game. After clearing the story of the main game, you can unlock the online mode."

"What do you mean? It means that if you clear the main storyline of the second generation game, you can compete with other players online..."

"?"

"You mean to say that the old thief 198 sold Yu-Gi-Oh?

"Well, let's put it this way."

"No problem. If there is an online mode, then everyone will definitely go straight to the online duel."

"If there is a player-versus-player mode, then the sales of this game will definitely skyrocket."

"And the game's side storyline will definitely not be skipped by a group of people like in the first generation. After all, the online mode will be unlocked after collecting all of them, so that you won't suffer when you go to duel with other players."

"Damn. After you said this, I suddenly looked forward to it. It's not that it's not good to use physical cards to duel with others. I was already forty-two at the time, and I ran to the next door all day to lead Jujia and his seven-year-old My son duels with cards. It's really hard."

"Haha, so it's not just me?"

"I didn't duel with the neighbor next door with cards. I was directly beaten by my son Tulle. The same card group, I fought against him, but I was crushed by him. It hurts me to death."

"This game only came out in November. The old thief is really lazy. As far as Yu-Gi-Oh. Come on, it took a year to produce the second generation, really procrastinating."

"I don't know how to make complaints about it. For those popular games abroad, it is very common to wait five or six years for the sequel. You can play the sequel this year and still complain?"

"It's just a joke to say that the old thief is lazy. In fact, all of us know that the old thief is prolific like a sow, but everyone is not satisfied."

"Hey, I hope this quarter ends soon. It's just entered November. I want to play other players online. It's too boring to fight against those game NPCs. Now I will open the game of Yu-Gi-Oh! The bosses who tormented me were duels, and now I find that they are all weak chickens. I don’t know how I lost before, but it’s still a lot of fun to fight against people.”

The news about the second generation of Yu-Gi-Oh is constantly being disclosed, new protagonists, online mode

Relevant information is constantly fermenting around the world.

As for the Yu-Gi-Oh TV series?

The plot of the first season also officially ended in mid-to-late September.

The whole team of Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company also quickly focused their work on the broadcast of Pokémon TV series.

During this period, Reaper and Slam Dunk also started filming one after another, and the production of special effects also officially started.

After being busy for three consecutive months, in fact, in mid-October, Jing Yu was not as busy as before.

He hasn't participated in any film and television series for a year in a row, and fans are also used to the fact that he no longer plays roles in Jing Yu's works.

However, Jing Yu's popularity in Da Zhou's film and television game circle has not weakened at all. On the contrary, the less frequently he appeared on the scene, whether in the industry or in the fan group, the discussion topics and tone of Jing Yu's attitude became more and more attractive to him. It is being raised to a very high position.

Just like the masters of various industries in Jingyu's previous life, his status would often rise after his death.

As for Jing Yu. Although he is still young, in fact, the entire industry already has this kind of mentality and emotions mixed in. Everyone is really convinced, and their attitude towards Jing Yu has also changed from the previous strong peers to... He is the aspiration of a god-like person who stands at the pinnacle of this industry.

This book should be finished as soon as possible, and the main author's continued writing will only be a homogeneous plot, so there will be no procrastination, so speed up the pace as soon as possible, and let everyone know first.
