A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

A work like Steel Refining is one that will touch your heart crazily in every detail if you hit the right chord. →

And, it’s not verbose at all.

With crisp shots and short words, it will quickly touch your heart.

Just like the second episode, the whole work has a heavy atmosphere, which is very different from the popular light-hearted and funny hot-blooded battles in different world animations in Dragon Kingdom.

The protagonist is a disabled person who has lost his arms and legs, and his younger brother is an anomalous being with no body at all, but his soul attached to the steel armor.

But the animation fans in Dragon Kingdom still easily immersed themselves in the plot.

On the one hand, it is out of trust in the name Xia Yan, and on the other hand, the plot of Steel Refining is really touching.

The two brothers' sparring in front of the lake, their discussions about the future of the two brothers, their self-blame for their stupid behavior that caused the other to lose his body, and

Both of them decided to become national alchemists, help each other, restore their lost bodies, and use the alchemy god's Philosopher's Stone to take back what they lost from the other side of the door.

Under the rendering of the parallel world steel-making animation Divine Comedy [Brothers].

The second episode has come to an end.

Two ten-year-old brothers recovered from their physical injuries.

He burned down his only hometown, the home where he and his mother had lived for ten years.

[Even if it is to restore our own bodies, it does not change that we are pursuing the taboo of human body refining. If we fail, we may disappear directly from this world next time. Even so, we cannot look back. 】

[So on the day we set out, we set fire to the house and burned it down. 】

His younger brother Alphonse looked at his home that was in ruins due to the fire.

This scene created a sense of tragedy in the hearts of Dragon Kingdom fans watching Steel tonight.

My mother died and my home burned down.

It means that these two brothers, who were only ten years old, cut off all their own options and embarked on a journey to become alchemists and find the Philosopher's Stone.

The plot of the second episode is fast-paced, but it makes animation fans of Dragon Kingdom feel unusually heavy.

Does it look good?

Of course it’s beautiful, whether it’s the words the mother spoke to the two brothers before she died, or the taboo human body refinement the two brothers performed after their mother’s death in order to resurrect her, or the final two brothers’ misunderstanding of Taoism and the loss of their loved ones and hometown at such a young age. The cruelty made these animation fans cry.

but

This is the first time in Xia Yan's works that these fans have not scolded Xia Yan for being out of context.

"It's good to watch, but the plot is so heavy!"

"It's a bit like watching Magic Circle back in the day. The cruelty of fate has its own price."

"The magic circle is more like a secret, revealing the essence of the magical girl bit by bit, and finally perfecting the world view. As for Steel Refining, if it just says that the alchemist's iron is "equivalent exchange", in fact, we People who watch the animation will not be touched at all. I even laughed when I saw this line in the first episode. But it was not until I watched the second episode that I couldn’t stand it. The two brothers are so pitiful.”

"It would be okay if you really paid a price to become a mother. What did the two brothers become after paying such a high price? A monster."

"It feels like a ball of twisted and rotten flesh. The scene is unbearable to look at."

"This is normal. The genetic similarity between humans and pigs is over 99%. The mother they made looks like a monster, but when they took it for DNA testing, it was probably exactly the same. It's just that the genes expressed by the monster mother are different from those of normal ones. People are different.”

"I don't quite understand."

"My understanding is that the two brothers did create a mother. The monster's DNA is probably exactly the same as their mother's. But the reason why the monster is a monster must have revealed all the bad genes in the gene, such as congenital Various sexual deformities and diseases, and the monster has no soul and no memory, but that is their mother, in terms of genetic material. "

"This is just your guess, it may not be the old thief's true thoughts."

"Does it matter what the old thief really thinks? You have to have your own understanding when watching these works. At least when I saw the second episode, I felt that this animation can be analyzed from a scientific perspective. The so-called alchemists are a group of Human beings who demonstrate various scientific phenomena in the sense of chemistry, biology and physics without relying on any scientific equipment."

"What a profound statement."

"Don't listen to the nonsense of these "citizen scientists" on the Internet. Just watch animations. What kind of science are you talking about? People who talk about logic and science in magic worldview animations are all crazy."

"I'm not interested in the scientific nature of these settings. Anyway, I was moved by the plot. The old thief's portrayal of family relationships was so good. It only took two episodes to make me cry while watching the anime. Steel was the first one."

"Oh, me too, but on the other hand, after this episode, I feel relieved. This animation of Lao Zei is also above the standard!"

"I think this animation is quite good, but I don't want to watch it a second time because the plot feels so heavy."

"Maybe the plot will become more relaxed later on?"

"Haha, it's true that Edward Bean is a bit funny. The plot is heavy in the early stage, but it is quite possible that it will turn into a passionate and funny battle animation later."

The broadcast of the second episode of Steel Refining was unanimously praised by fans.

Seeing these feedbacks from the market, Xia Yan didn't have much emotion, but those in Xia Yan's company let out a long sigh.

Everyone knows that no one can stay at the top forever, let alone someone like Xia Yan who is already at the top of the animation industry.

Any of his new works may become the subject of ridicule and discussion by the market due to some problems.

Just looking at the current situation

It's not like steel making anyway.

The second episode's ratings of 6.1% and the rating rose to 9.4, which shows the market's recognition of it.

However, just like the work arranged by Xia Yan last year, except for providing scripts to the company's employees and promoting the popularity of his works before they are broadcast, Xia Yan tries not to interfere in other aspects.

The main experience is still in negotiating with partners and handling company business.

If Xia Yan wants Xia Tang Animation to grow into a world-famous animation production company in a few years, then he must put a considerable amount of focus on company management and expansion.

But if Xia Yan just wants to become an animation creator who will go down in history, then he can just follow the parallel world Hayao Miyazaki, stick to the details of his own works, and produce a masterpiece in three to five years.

Obviously, Xia Yan's choice is the former.

Therefore, after Steel Season began to air, Xia Yan's focus shifted to Pokémon and Doraemon.

Of these two works, the former is the largest IP in the two-dimensional industry in the parallel world. Of course, the excellence of Pokémon is reflected in the game.

Animation, or comics... are just derivatives of it in the gaming field.

However, Xia Yan did the opposite when developing this work in Longguo.

Regarding games and other things, I have already asked my subordinates to start poaching people.

However, the promotion of the world view of Pokémon, books, comics, etc. also began to be re-created by the staff.

At that time, I am going to use Xia Yan's influence to develop in the Dragon Kingdom with Doraemon.

As for this process, it probably takes several years to take effect.

Many people in Long Kingdom don't understand what Xia Yan is doing? Even many employees in the company don't understand whether Xia Yan has too much money and wants to burn it, spending hundreds of millions a year on the operation departments of two works.

But Xia Yan didn't explain. He also knew very well that national conditions were different, and these IPs that were popular in other worlds might not be popular in the Dragon Kingdom.

However, in the parallel world of the two works, one has an IP value of 100 billion US dollars and the other has an IP value close to 10 billion US dollars. It is impossible for Xia Yan not to try.

If it succeeds, let’s call it Yizuo Chijudai!

Anyway, the company now has billions of funds on its books, and Xia Yan is confident. He will invest a few years first and see the results.

Then there is

Slam Dunk, which is about to premiere in April, Xia Yan's company is now giving advance previews and promotions.

Mid January.

It’s another Spring Festival in Dragon Kingdom.

Xia Yan has been in Magic City for four years and has not been back to his hometown a few times.

This time he went home for a while after graduating from college. He bought the old house that was mortgaged long ago. Although he basically doesn't live in it now, it is still the place where he grew up. Keep it as a souvenir.

Of course, Xia Yan's hometown this time naturally attracted the attention of the two-dimensional fans in the city where he lived. A bunch of Xia Yan's junior high school classmates and relatives at home also tried to contact Xia Yan, but Xia Yan went to the junior high school and high school class reunions, becoming The protagonist of the party took a photo with his former friends.

But Xia Yan basically ignored his relatives. Anyway, Xia Yan paid off all the money his father owed that year. Now he is quite used to no one disturbing his life. He has lost contact with him for so many years and is too lazy to renew it now.

Just him and Tang Yin, it's pretty good.

As for Song Lingyun.

She did invite Xia Yan out for dinner and play around the Chinese New Year period, and Xia Yan didn't shy away from it.

But always keep your distance

Maybe Song Lingjun did have other thoughts about him, but he couldn't control others, so he could only control himself.

It's not that Xia Yan is heartless or that he really loves Song Lingyun, it's just that he cares more about what Tang Yin thinks of Tang Yin, who has been dating him for a year.

After the Spring Festival, Xia Yan immediately returned to the Magic City.

It’s a new year again.

In the past year, Sword Art Online officially entered the serialization of the uw chapter.

Of course, at this point in the serialization of Sword Art Online, just like Parallel World, it has already received a lot of criticism from fans.

For example, Kirito's grandpa doesn't have a harem on the surface, but in fact he shows mercy everywhere.

There are five or six sao chapters alone, two or three alo chapters, another ggo chapter, and a uw chapter. Before the series is finished, there are one or two more suspected heroines.

In Sword Art Online, there is only one recognized heroine, Asuna.

But there is an inevitable problem with long novels.

Is it possible that there are fans who really like to watch couples’ daily life?

Once the male and female protagonists in the work establish a relationship, their daily life is equivalent to showing off their affection, which will cause discomfort to fans, especially single readers.

Therefore, every chapter in Sword Art Online will introduce several new female characters, and they will have an affair with the protagonist Kirito, but in the end they are just losers and become a member of the loser group in the harem.

In the Dragon Kingdom, some criticism of Sword Art Online started here.

But these remarks basically did not cause fans to give up.

Anyway, as long as Asuna remains the legal girlfriend, the rest of the plot doesn't matter.

Therefore, the sales performance of Sword Art Online's single volume has not declined, but it is also very clear.

It has reached the top.

The average volume data of more than 28 million volumes has not changed much for more than three months.

Both Xia Yan and Liuli Publishing House understood that this was the limit of Sword Art Online.

Even this work cannot grow in popularity and influence without limit in the Dragon Kingdom.

As for the Hunter comics, that's different.

It shows greater potential than Sword Art Online.

The work "Hunter" can only be said to be good-looking before the Phantom Troupe chapter, but this chapter completely opens up the Hunter worldview.

Let everyone know what an imaginative setting the telekinesis system is, and what a charming character the top telekinesis users in the Hunter comics, such as the leader of the Phantom Troupe, are.

This elegant, cold, cunning, cruel, yet incredibly handsome character.

In the year since his debut, he has completely become the most popular king in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry.

A villain has directly become the most popular character in the Hunter comic.

Of course, the group leader's fans are the same as those in the parallel world, with more female fans.

Compared with Sword Art Online's popularity, which is showing signs of fatigue, Hunter's current performance is even better.

Of course, the two-dimensional industry has the largest audience in the animation field. During the period when Xia Yan went home to celebrate the New Year, Steel Lian also aired for three consecutive episodes, finally ending the plot of how the protagonist Edward became the national alchemist.

It can be considered that it has officially entered the main plot.

Relatively speaking, the plots of these episodes are a little more relaxed, and they are not as depressing as the beginning of Steel Refining.

And by the way, I also introduced some details about the war between the protagonist's country and surrounding forces, the Philosopher's Stone, and the important characters in the work.

Roy.

The President, as well as some colleagues of the protagonist Edward in the National Alchemist Organization.

Similarly, Roy, a handsome and powerful character, has naturally become the most popular character in Steel since his debut.

Then, in early February

A Sunday that everyone thought was very ordinary came just like this.

The animation "Gang Lian" received the most praise in the parallel world, almost the most among all the works Xia Yan could see from Yuan Qing's memory.

Whether it is the ending of the 03 version that was created by the animation production team, or the new version of the 09 version that is adapted from the original comic plot.

They are all masterpieces in different senses.

It can even be said that the 03 version is a self-made version of the production team, and its animation screenwriting team

It puts the screenwriters of original animation plots such as Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach to shame.

It’s not an original plot, it’s just that the Battleship Island chapter of the old version of the Hunter animation and the self-made ending of the old version of the Steelmaking animation are not inferior to the original.

But this animation of Ganglian, no matter which version, is for fans in the parallel world, or Xia Yan

The first episode that impressed me deeply, even unforgettable, was the episode where the synthetic beast appeared.

Although the plot of this chapter is not complicated and there are no cool fights, it makes people feel uncomfortable after reading it.

This segment will air tonight.
