In the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, both practitioners and audiences react very quickly to an innovative and potential work.

Among the more than 100 animations broadcast this quarter, three works ranked 123rd, Robot City, Dragon's Secret Treasure, and Throbbing.

They are now in their sixth episode respectively, with ratings of 3.52%, 3.31% and 3.13%.

Moreover, it is only possible to achieve good results by broadcasting it during a good time period on Saturdays and Sundays.

Although the ratings for the sixth episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica were still in the 2% range for the premiere, the ratings for the third rerun exceeded the 3% mark.

In fact, a work must have so many fans to have such a high ratings. Since the replay ratings can reach 3.03%, it means that the actual potential number of fans of this work will increase after six episodes are broadcast. In just a few days, it has basically grown to a level that is almost the same as the first three works.

At this time, let’s take a look at the production companies and production costs of the three works.

Mechanical City was adapted by Yuanling Animation, one of the three major animation companies in the Dragon Kingdom. The original game has sold more than 10 million worldwide, not to mention that the investment cost of this animation alone exceeded 80 million, and thousands more were spent on promotion. Wan, that's why we have the current 3.52% ratings.

The Secret Treasure of the Dragon and Throbbing are two works adapted from popular novels and comics by Luzhou Animation and Long Yang Animation, two of the other three major animation production companies in the Dragon Kingdom. They also cost 60 to 70 million each to produce. this animation.

But what do you see now?

A low-cost, old-fashioned magical girl animation with an investment of 16 million. In the sixth episode, the ratings have almost caught up with these three works, and now in major animation forums and fan groups, It is also almost the group that discusses the animation of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which has an overwhelming numerical advantage compared to these other three works.

The current situation does make many people in the animation industry feel a bit outrageous.

This is not to say that there were no low-cost animations such as The Rise of the Dark Horse Gang in the past, but these works were all without exception. It was just the production cost that was low, not that the production team was poor.

But Mo Yuan, the production level of the animation production team is just that, and the members are just some stragglers in the animation industry in Magic City. In fact, the animation quality is not high, and it has been able to develop all the way to its current popularity.

It basically depends on this script.

Who is the "Soldier of Love"?

One day, this question began to be asked by many people in the Dragon Kingdom animation community.

Especially for some practitioners in the animation industry. Anyway, there are so many popular animations in Dragon Kingdom. The rise of Madoka Magica this season only makes the top three animations in the ratings have a sense of crisis. For others, they are happy to watch the show.

"So no one knows who the Warrior of Love is?"

"Even if the boss wears a vest, he can't hide it so deeply, right? The boss will recruit a few acquaintances to form a team, but none of those people will come out to reveal the identity of the warrior of love?"

"I feel that many people in the three major animation companies in Dragon Kingdom are feeling a little uncomfortable now. It would be really embarrassing if Puella Magi Madoka Magica's work was defeated at a rubbish schedule like Thursday night at nine o'clock."

"Don't exaggerate too much. Puella Magi Madoka Magica is only the sixth episode. The plot of the third episode is a little bit beyond the audience's expectations. An anime cannot be transformed by innovative plots in just two episodes. "

"But who knows what strange developments the work of Puella Magi Madoka Magica will have in the future? Can you still look at this work as a regular magical girl-themed animation? After watching the sixth episode, you can guess the second one. What will the plot of the seven episodes be about?”

"Ha, anyway, I don't believe that a big screenwriter in the industry would open an account and no one would know about it. Maybe this love warrior is just a new animation screenwriter. And the most common mistake for newbies is to start in an anticlimax and end in a tailspin."

"Well, let's make a bet. I'll bet that Puella Magi Madoka Magica's animation will definitely knock down one of the three most popular animations of this season: Mechatronica, Dragon's Secret Treasure, and Thriller before it ends. The final ratings ranked among the top three in the animation market this quarter. If the final result is like this, how about you treat me to afternoon tea for half a month? Anyway, our two companies are so close, just one street away."

"Then what if the plot of Madoka Magica collapses later on?"

"Well, then I'll treat you to afternoon tea for a month."

"."

"Well, Lao Xiao, that's okay. How can you chase a girl like this? No matter whether you win or lose in this bet, you can trick Director Lin into dating you for at least half a month, right?"

In the Magic City area, in a research group for animation industry practitioners, a group of active group friends have been having a heated discussion about the animation Puella Magi Madoka Magica since early in the morning.

It’s not that big-budget animated works produced by the three major animation companies have never failed, but this is the first time that a newly established animation company’s work has been so close in the ratings list.

Ordinary animation practitioners are happy to take advantage of it.

The production team members of the three animations "Dragon's Secret Treasure", "Machine City" and "Thrilling" also felt an inexplicable pressure coming on them.

Within Xia Tang Animation Production Company, which has dozens of members, everyone is in a state of collective excitement during this time.

After all, those who can be recruited into the company by Tang Yin must have basic business capabilities, but...

Everyone's career path is more or less uneventful anyway. Either he was squeezed out of his previous company, or the place he stayed in was too depressing, or his talent didn't meet the competition and he couldn't get enough connections.

That’s why we gathered together at Xia Tang Animation Production Company. We didn’t expect to do anything big in this start-up company. It's a part-time job, why do you want to pursue so many things? It’s not like I was a teenager when I was choosing a major in the college entrance examination, thinking that I could single-handedly change the animation industry in Dragon Kingdom.

After so many years, many people have been hit by reality and just want to live their lives.

However.

The current achievements of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica animation have given a group of backbone production members including Yao Jiyong and Tang Xin in the animation production team a sense of accomplishment.

When they were teenagers, the reason why they chose the animation major was to create this kind of animation!

I and others are not making some assembly line animation, but are really making an excellent animation that is innovative, can touch the hearts of the audience, and revolutionize the animation industry to a certain extent.

People outside don't know the plot behind Magic Circle, but now, this animation is being produced to its eleventh episode. They know the entire script of this animation.

The current plot has such achievements and discussion. They can't guess what will happen after the next six episodes of this animation are aired.

Compared with the plot of the next six episodes of this animation, the so-called innovation and so-called depressing and tear-jerking of the first six episodes are simply child's play.

Will this animation be abandoned by the audience, criticized and its reputation collapse because of its increasingly dark and sad plot?

In other words, after the sixth episode of this animation was broadcast, the surge in popularity in the animation industry is just the beginning, and it is far from its limit.

Some people in the company can vaguely feel that the work of Magic Circle may cause waves in the industry.

May 13

The final results of the selection for the Emperor Star Award, the most dazzling novel award in the Dragon Kingdom novel world, are out.

After nearly a month of selection, Xia Yan cooperated with various requirements of the book club and the jury, participated in recording videos, and took photos.

Finally, on this day, he was invited to the Imperial Capital area to participate in the selection of the Imperial Star Award.

Twenty popular writers from the Dragon Kingdom gathered together. In the venue with thousands of people, the host revealed the award-winning works of these twenty writers one by one.

Hundreds of cameras captured every move of these twenty writers from all angles of the venue.

Xia Yan was observing other people, and others were also observing Xia Yan.

After all, among a group of thirty-four-year-old novelists, the nineteen-year-old Xia Yan is too young, and his appearance is obviously much higher than the others.

The audience in front of the TV looked at the tall and handsome young man in a white formal suit on the screen.

Xia Yan after make-up might be considered above-average in the entertainment industry, but among male writers in the novel industry, she would be considered a top performer.

After all, most of the other male writers are fat nerds, and Xia Yan is so eye-catching among them.

Tang Yin and Song Lingjun stayed in the company together, watching the Emperor Star Award ceremony being broadcast live on TV1 in the capital with dozens of people in the company.

"The boss is so handsome."

"That's genius."

"He is handsome and talented. He is the boss. Unfortunately, my daughter is older than him and not good-looking. Otherwise, I would really have to introduce him to her."

Song Lingjun and Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan blankly.

"Oh, who would have thought that two years ago, he was just a high school student with only a few thousand yuan in his body and a family that suffered a tragedy." Tang Yin was feeling a little emotional at this time.

"I always feel that if he continues to develop like this, he may soon reach a place beyond our reach."

"No way." Song Lingjun stared at the clip of Xia Yan's face that was playing on the TV.

"At this time next year, I will also appear at the Emperor Star Award ceremony just like Xia Yan now."

"Huh? So confident? On the other hand, I haven't asked you for a long time. What is the ranking of your current novel "The Blade of the Other Side" in the "Liu Li Color" journal?" Tang Yin asked curiously.

"Journal. Ninth!" Song Lingjun paused and then said.

"However, I am confident that I will launch an attack on the top five or even the top three picks in the journal within three months. This work that I have racked my brains to conceive this year will only be serialized starting next month. I want to start working hard. If everything goes well, I also want to try what it feels like to reach the top of a journal."

After all, he had always been suppressed by Xia Yan before.

Song Lingjun stared at Xia Yan's face on the TV without blinking, while Tang Yin looked at Song Lingjun's face without saying a word for a long time.

People must have goals. Without Xia Yan to inspire her fighting spirit, would Song Lingjun be able to grow so fast in novel creation?

the other side.

In a certain girl's room, Mo Ran put down the comic pen in her hand and looked at Xia Yan who appeared at the Emperor Star Award through her laptop.

Seeing Xia Yan in front of the TV made Mo Ran truly feel Xia Yan's current height in the two-dimensional industry.

Emperor Star Award presentation scene.

The rankings of works by novel writers were revealed one by one.

When they reached the top ten, before the name of the parasitic beast was read out, Baixuan who was present was already so excited that she almost shouted in the venue.

finally

When the sixth-placed work was revealed and the words "parasitic beast" were read out, Xia Yan stood up and went on stage under the focus of a crowd of cameras.

In fact, even the seventh-ranked work of the Emperor Star Award has an average sales volume of seven million copies in the Dragon Kingdom, which is one million more than Parasite Beast.

The fact that Parasitic Beast ranks sixth is actually due to the slightly higher theme of this work, and the environmental protection elements promoted in the work are in line with the correct ideology of the Dragon Kingdom.

These things are also one of the reference standards for award evaluation. Otherwise, if a novel has a particularly high sales volume due to its pornographic and bloody elements, it can still be ranked well in the Emperor Star Award selection. Wouldn't that be a joke?

"Sixth?" Xia Yan came to the stage, holding the medal awarded to the sixth place Emperor Star Award, with an expression that was not exciting at all.

"Oh, why is Teacher Yuanqing looking like this? Are you feeling unwell today?" the host asked with a smile.

"Well, because sixth is the worst result I have ever received since I started in the novel industry." Xia Yan looked at the camera and said with a smile.

"I feel like my grades haven't improved, so I just..."

"."host.

Is it so straightforward?

This is young people.

"Teacher Yuanqing, before the sixth Emperor Star Award, what was the order of the novel awards you participated in?" the host asked.

"The first among the new gods." Xia Yan paused and then said in a joking tone.

"I will be happier next time I come."

Then he didn't say much, took the medal and hurriedly left the stage.

But although he didn't say anything later, his meaning was already obvious.

His goal is to be first in the Emperor Star Award.

This time he was not satisfied with the sixth one.

Next time if I come to this award ceremony again

First.

The audience in front of the TV and the audience at the scene understood Xia Yan's meaning in an instant.

And he is confident that there will definitely be works that will enter the top 20 of the Emperor Star Awards in the future and come to this scene.

Arrogant?

arrogant?

pride?

Still say.

Is this confidence?

All in all, many reporters on the scene have already thought up half a report with strong words in their minds, waiting to go back tonight to rush to write a report on this young novelist.

In the next two days, the Dragon Kingdom light novel world was immersed in the afterglow of the Emperor Star Award selection. The names of various light novel writers who received good rankings, and their works were spread through various serial magazines and online information in the novel world.

And the name "Yuanqing".

Starting from this night, because of the history of the work Parasite Beast being serialized on "Liu Li" and the sixth selection result of the Parasite Beast Emperor Star Award, he was on the same level as many well-known light novel writers in the Dragon Kingdom and was recognized by the industry. Regarded as a first-line light novel writer.
