The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Saturday, January [-]nd.

After politely declining his friend's invitation to go out together, Luo Gaofeng yawned and lay lazily on the sofa.The coffee table in front of him was filled with all kinds of snacks at the moment, and at the moment he was rejecting his friends on the chat software, while raising his head and drinking the fat house happy water in his hand.

During this kind of holiday, people are crowded everywhere, what is there to go out to play?

Are the snacks bad?The game is not fun?Or is the new show not good-looking?

With a mentality of enjoyment, Luo Gaofeng happily clicked on the animation section of Yunsu Video.

The first thing that caught his attention was "Bloody Rose", which was on the cover recommendation section.

As a sequel to the highly popular animation, the second season of "Blood Rose" still maintains its high standard. Luo Gaofeng quickly watched the first two episodes of the animation with a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips.

how to say……

Exiting from the screen of "Blood Rose", Luo Gaofeng shook his head.

Probably the quality of the first season of "Blood Rose" was so high that as an audience, when watching the second season, he would inevitably compare the second season with the first season. A while ago, watching the second season now, Luo Gaofeng only felt that it was good-looking, but it was not amazing.

It can only be regarded as normal performance.

Thinking of this, he returned to the initial page of the app, continued to browse through the new episodes updated on Saturday, and then his eyes fell on "Xianzun".

Luo Gaofeng also reads online articles on weekdays. This original novel of "Xianzun" is his favorite. The author's writing skills are sophisticated but not too literary, and it reads just right. People's eyes are bright, the protagonist has a stylish design, and the supporting roles also have their own characteristics.

No, as soon as Luo Gaofeng heard that "The Immortal" was animated, Luo Gaofeng immediately clicked on "The Immortal", and couldn't wait to watch it.

1 minute, 2 minutes...

Luo Gaofeng turned his head to look at his coffee table full of snacks, picked up a bag of chicken feet from it, and gnawed on the unfinished Coke.

After 10 minutes, the chicken feet in his hand were finished, and Luo Gaofeng felt bored.

In all fairness, the animation of "Xianzun" is actually quite good.

The animated characters are eye-catching, the special effects are gorgeous, and the plot completely follows the original novel, and there is no magical change, but it is precisely because of this reason that Luo Gaofeng is satisfied, but also feels a little bored.

When he was in the literary famine, he didn’t know how many times he had read the original novel back and forth. Although the animation was released now, the plot was exactly the same as the original novel. Looking at the screen, he could immediately imagine what happened next. What's the point of this animation?

It so happened that a friend sent a letter on the mobile app at this moment: "I didn't say that, this newly opened haunted house is really interesting, it's completely different from those coquettish sluts outside, it's a big loss if you don't come to play!"

Luo Gaofeng sighed.

He also regrets it a little now.

The snacks are delicious, but he doesn’t know if the games are good or not, but it’s true that the new shows in January this year are not very good-looking, and it’s not that “Xian Zun” and “Blood Rose” are not good. That unstoppable feeling.

I always feel that there seems to be something missing, not exciting enough.

Thinking this way in his heart, he typed and replied with feigned disdain on his face: "I'm too lazy to go out with you to crowd people, you don't understand the happiness of a fat house." But his eyes were unconsciously on the haunted house photo sent by the other party Hang around for a few more seconds.

...Actually, I'm a bit envious of QAQ

Feeling more and more regretful, Luo Gaofeng reluctantly turned off the Yunsu Video app, and switched the phone screen back to the Yueqi Video app.

This is Luo Gaofeng's favorite barrage video site on weekdays. Firstly, there are no annoying advertisements when chasing, and secondly, after chasing, it is also a pleasure to watch ghost videos and watch beautiful ladies dance.

Clicking on the Yueqi video, Luo Gaofeng immediately saw "The Retired Life of the Demon King", which was also recommended on the cover.

When he was watching the Yueqi video before, he had seen the introduction of this animation in the new fan guide. It seemed to be an animation adapted from a highly popular light novel. It is said that the popularity is quite high——

It's a pity that he really doesn't have much interest in the same western fantasy animation.Then again, there are no good-looking new episodes to follow, and it’s not bad to watch beautiful young ladies dancing house dances.

Thinking of this, he moved his index finger slightly, and was about to slide to the dance section next door.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the cover of one of the new shows——

Compared with other animations that have been recommended, this new show is more like being randomly stuffed into the corners. The girl on the screen is wearing a handsome white and red uniform, with long black hair and a light green headband. Straightforwardly and neatly tied up, at this moment she crossed her arms, her crystal purple eyes stared straight at her, showing a soldier-like heroic demeanor.

What animation is this?The heroine looks strangely good-looking.

People are visual creatures, and Luo Gaofeng is no exception. In the blink of an eye, he was firmly attracted by the girl on the cover, and then his eyes fell on the name of the animation: InfiniteStratos.

Speaking of which, he seems to have a little impression of this animation. Just last month, he saw it in a video introducing the new series of January. Although the production team is not well-known, the voice actors hired are all big names. If he If I remember correctly, the black, long, straight and beautiful girl in front of me is his goddess Zhuxuan.

This made Luo Gaofeng immediately interested.

For them, the reason for chasing fans is sometimes as simple as that. A good-looking heroine or a favorite CV is enough to make them click on an animation.

As for whether the audience can be retained, it only depends on the quality of the animation itself.

With deep curiosity and a faint expectation that he didn't realize, Luo Gaofeng clicked on the animation in front of him——

Since there is the voice of the goddess Zhuxuan, I hope this animation will not be too bad, and it does not require high quality like "Blood Rose" and "Xian Zun", as long as it allows him to enjoy the voice of the goddess happily without disturbing the screen. It's enough to feel hot eyes with the plot...

As he clicked on the first episode of "Infinite Stratos", the animation also started.

The first thing that catches his eyes is the large expanse of thin golden clouds dyed by the setting sun. His eyes stayed on the clouds for less than a second, and the whole picture quickly shifted down to the endless sea surface, accompanied by violent wind noise , when the camera cut to the lonely mountain on the sea, the BGM was immediately replaced by a series of beating sounds. Two mechas, one white and one red, were fighting fast in the air, occasionally making blunt collision sounds.

"what?"

Luo Gaofeng subconsciously rubbed his eyes, a little surprised.

Although he doesn't know much about this "IS", he still knows the general plot. This is a typical harem fan. The detailed introduction is: the story of the male protagonist subconsciously capturing the hearts of the female protagonists through a series of channels.

"Isn't it?" The snack in his hand was put down unconsciously, and Luo Gaofeng stared closely at the fast-moving mecha in the air, wondering in his heart: "Is this really a harem fan? Is the burning battle okay?"

The more he looked at it now, the more amazed his eyes became.

Not to mention, this battle scene is really not ordinary handsome, with the BGM, there is actually a little burning.

"The design of the mecha is also very handsome. Sure enough, the mecha is the eternal romance of men." While Luo Gaofeng was sighing, the heroines who also wore mechas also appeared on the stage one after another.

Luo Gaofeng's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Yes, as expected of a harem fan, the heroines are still very good-looking, and the attributes are not repeated, and there are all kinds of flavors." Luo Gaofeng nodded in satisfaction.

After the short title song, the animation officially begins.

In the spacious and bright classroom, a teenager wearing a white and red school uniform sat on his own seat, with a nervous and embarrassed look on his face. The lens expanded outwards from him, revealing the whole classroom: densely packed The girls in the entire classroom turned their heads vaguely, and their eyes fell on the only boy in the classroom.

Although I knew early on that "IS" tells the story of the male protagonist being the only male who can use IS and entering the IS academy full of girls, but when Luo Gaofeng saw it with his own eyes and saw it in the first episode When the male protagonist in the group of beautiful girls...

To be honest, it's kind of dark.

Next, what method will the hero use to attack the girls?What kind of role will the IS mecha, which was shocked at the beginning of the animation, play?

With such a curious thought in mind, Luo Gaofeng continued to look at it with great interest, and immediately grabbed the duck neck that had just been torn apart, and forgot to eat it for a while.

"As you all know, the official name of IS is InfiniteStratos, which is a multi-functional suit developed in Japan. According to the Alaska Treaty, it is forbidden to be used in the military. Now, as a sport, it has become a specialized competitive event, and this The IS Academy is the only educational institution in the world that aims to train IS manipulators..."

Luo Gaofeng was so shocked that the duck neck dropped from his hand.

Wait a minute, what did the teacher in the animation just say?

To put it simply: because the IS mecha is too powerful and extremely lethal in the military, one IS can carry N troops, so countries have signed clauses prohibiting it from being used in the military, making it a special competition project.

To put it another way, it is easier to understand: because nuclear bombs are too powerful, countries have signed treaties prohibiting their use in the military, making it a competitive event, which looks better than anyone else's mushroom cloud.

What kind of sand sculpture plot is this?play?Have you seen any sports meeting that is better than the machine armor/fried mushroom cloud?

Luo Gaofeng was stunned.

The plot of the animation is still going on.

After class, as the only boy in IS Academy, the hero Orimura Ichika undoubtedly received the attention of all the girls in the class.

"That's him, the only boy in the world who can manipulate IS!"

"I heard that he activated IS during the entrance exam. This is big news for the world!"

"It really came."

"Go and talk to him."

"How about I go?"

The girls' voices were sweet and sweet, and Luo Gaofeng stopped moving his index finger to the back button of the phone immediately. He suppressed some indescribable expectation in his heart, and told himself: "I'll just take a look, just take a look, everything will be fine." It’s already so sand-sculpted, I want to see how this animation can be sand-sculpted!”

I have to say that Luo Gaofeng has seen a lot of harem dramas, and it’s not that he hasn’t seen classic harem dramas, but he has never seen such a direct as IS, making up a setting, and then involuntarily talking about it. The ones thrown into the pure girls' school.

Coupled with the animation plot, the male protagonist exists like a giant panda. It is easy to think of how the male protagonist who is the only boy will be popular in the pure girls' school in the follow-up plot. All girls like me The plot of the stars holding the moon.

...Who the hell can resist this!

Before the idea of ​​abandoning the fan came up, it was completely extinguished by the animation plot. Luo Gaofeng watched with great interest that after class, the hero's childhood sweetheart, that is, the black long straight girl who attracted him to click in, took the initiative to Walked up to Orimura Ichika and invited him to have a chat.

The animation scene also immediately switched to the rooftop.

On the top of the teaching building, the girl was standing near the railing, her fair face was faintly flushed, and her deep purple eyes were filled with cute tangles, while the boy smiled and congratulated Qingmei for winning the Kendo Championship last year. Gone, but he still recognized each other at a glance.

It was a bloody plot, but Luo Gaofeng watched it with great interest.

Without it, the production team portrayed the expressions of the animated characters extremely vividly. The girls are still hesitant to speak, and the look of peeking at the boys with small eyes from time to time is too cute, coupled with the voice of the goddess Zhuxuan...

Ah I'm dead!

Sure enough, in the harem series, creatures like Ome had already been captured before the story started.

As Qingmei took the lead in creating a wave of presence, soon, the tsundere young lady with light blonde curly hair also appeared on the stage, and unexpectedly learned that she was not the only student who defeated the instructor in the school on the day of enrollment, but the only girl among the girls , and after the hero also defeated the instructor, Cecilia resolutely challenged the hero to a duel.

coming!

Luo Gaofeng's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands expectantly.Generally speaking, according to the routine of the ordinary harem fan, the way the male protagonist attacks the female protagonists is nothing more than attacking the heart. For example, the female protagonist had a shadow in her childhood and was influenced by the male protagonist after she was discovered, or the female protagonist was not recognized by her family. dreams and so on, in short, there will be a tear-jerking or blood-boiling process in the middle...

I don't know how the hero will attack the heroine in this "IS"?

"If you lose, you will be my servant," the girl arrogantly raised her chin, and walked slowly towards the boy, her pale golden curly hair swaying slightly with her movements, her scrutinizing eyes swept over After Orimura Ichika, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: "No, it's a slave."

The boy's voice sounded indifferently: "How much do you want?"

"Oh, you took the initiative to ask for concessions so soon?"

"No," the boy said calmly, "I'm asking you how much you want me to let you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire classroom paused for a moment, and soon there was laughter from the girls. Amidst the roar of laughter, a girl asked amusedly, "Orimura-san, are you serious?"

"Men are stronger than women, it was already before IS came out, huh?"

Another girl added lightly: "If a man wants to fight a woman, it is said that it will not last for three days."

The blond girl put her right hand on her chest and said with a smile in her eyes, "I'm still hesitating whether to let you in or not. You boys are really humorous."

While she was speaking, the camera subtly landed on the male protagonist's clenched fist and slightly trembling left hand.

As soon as Cecilia finished speaking, another girl from below advised him with a clear voice: "Orimura-san, it's not too late to let her release the water now, ask her to let you out more."

"A man says one thing is the same," Orimura Kazuka said calmly, "No need."

"Have you already agreed?" Chifuyu Orimura, who is both the eldest sister and the class teacher, announced, "Then next Monday, the duel will be held in the third arena. Orimura and Alcott will prepare by themselves."

With Qingmei's worried gaze and the male protagonist's unwavering gaze, the first episode of the "IS" animation ended. It was not until the ending song remembered that Luo Gaofeng blinked his eyes unsatisfied.

Is this over?

He lowered his head subconsciously, only to realize that due to the sudden surprise in his middle, the duck neck that was still in his hand had been scattered all over the ground at some point, and he didn't even notice it.With no time to clean up the mess on the ground, with infinite curiosity and anticipation for the plot, Luo Gaofeng couldn't wait to click on the next episode.

On the one hand, he was annoyed by Cecilia's behavior of insulting the hero in full view in the classroom, so he looked forward to the duel between the two. After all, according to national conventions, the contrast between how annoying Miss Tsundere was before she was captured, and how cute she is after being captured.

What?You said that the plot of "IS" is illogical, and the setting of IS is too silly?

——But he looks cool!

Adhering to such irresponsible thoughts, Luo Gaofeng happily continued to watch the second and third episodes.

In the following plot, there is no doubt that the male protagonist defeated the blond Miss Tsundere through the awakening (opening) of the special machine, and then Miss Tsundere was attacked by the male protagonist.

Raiders.

The.

There is no teaching on how to be a person, no specific heart-to-heart talks, and no sincere events that other harem fans will surely experience. Simply put, there is no foreshadowing, reason, or turning point after the game is over.

Luo Gaofeng was so simple and rude that he was stunned.

However, with such a simple, rough and sandy plot, Luo Gaofeng was surprised to find that he couldn't stop watching it...?

If it is said that the previous harem fan will go through some procedures, then "IS" is the first one. The harem fan that simplifies all the processes cannot be simplified. "This kind of mindless, Luo Gaofeng felt that it was too nonsense in his heart, but his body honestly pointed to the next episode...

This animated sand sculpture belongs to the sand sculpture, but it seems to be... pretty good-looking?

With this in mind, Luo Gaofeng waited for the fourth episode with anticipation, but the animation page showed a black screen, and then a window popped up:

Click to chase, every Saturday, InfiniteStratos, see you~

...that's the end of it.

Luo Gaofeng smacked his lips, feeling unsatisfied and completely unsatisfied.

Alas, it's time to live a happy and painful chasing life again.

He was full of resentment in his heart, but he honestly clicked the chase button under the animation. At the same time, the post-viewing feedback form about IS also popped up. This is the usual practice of Yueqi videos. Give your own evaluation after three episodes. If you are interested in animation, you can also pre-order the animation in advance. Yueqi Video will adjust the recommended position of the animation in Yueqi Video based on the audience's feedback.

He was very satisfied, and when he saw the evaluation form, he waved his hand and bought it!

Regarding the evaluation of the work itself, he thought about it, and wrote frankly: "Although the logic is flawed, it seems unexpectedly addictive, and the flaws do not conceal the advantages. It is a surprise work in January, and it is worth watching!"

After doing all this, he reluctantly put down his phone and tidied up his messy room.

……

As the animation director of "The Retired Life of the Demon King", Ying Kaiyu is very concerned about the animation's clicks, comments and followers.

Before that, he also participated in animation production in other identities, such as assistant director, painting supervisor, etc., but as the chief director, he was in charge of an animation, and "The Retired Life of the Demon King" was the first one. Yu's concern can be imagined.

He took a deep breath, and clicked on the comprehensive list of various statistics for the new show in January.

NO.1 "Blood Rose"

NO.2 "Immortal Venerable"

NO.3 "The Retired Life of the Demon King"

……

NO.7 "Infinite Stratos"

After seeing the ranking of "The Retired Life of the Demon King", Ying Kaiyu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Blood Rose" and "Xianzun", one has the popularity bonus of the first season, and the other is the most popular online novel adaptation animation in the past three years. It can be said that it is normal to get the first or second place. Yu never considered the possibility of "The Retired Life of the Demon King" surpassing the two.

In his opinion, it is quite a good achievement for his work to be ranked third.

After discovering that the results of his debut work were even better than he had imagined, Ying Kaiyu relaxed a lot, and now he is also in the mood to watch the lower-ranked animations.

The next 4-6 are all serial dramas that were serialized at the end of last year. He was concerned about the production level of the animation industry. He watched them one by one last year. Soon, his eyes turned to the seventh place. on the drama.

Infinite Stratos?

Glancing at the name of the animation, Ying Kaiyu couldn't help but frown. The name of the animation is a bit discouraging.

He murmured to himself while opening IS.

As an animation director's instinct, he immediately looked at the production team of the animation. The account id that released this animation was "Huaying Animation". shook his head.

It is estimated that it is a small workshop production team.

With that in mind, "IS" also started playing.

"The battle scene is well drawn, but this is a harem fan. Is it really meaningful to pay attention to the special effects of the battle?" Ying Kaiyu shook his head. In his opinion, the selling point of the harem fan is the girl itself. Your mecha battle is good No matter how handsome, what's the use?

"Huh? The heroine's character design is also pretty good-looking, and the harem fan's upper-middle level has not run away." The frowning brow stretched for less than a second, and then frowned again: "Why is the setting of this IS mech messing with?" It's the same as playing, there is no logic at all, and the way of strategy is too simple and rude..."

After watching the three episodes soon, Ying Kaiyu thought about the plot of the animation, and gave this animation three stars in his heart.

"Overall, this "IS" is quite attractive, but unfortunately the main line and IS settings are completely unreliable, and there is no logic, and the strategy process has been simplified too much..."

Ying Kaiyu made a conclusion: "As a harem fan, it is barely qualified, and it is worthy of the name to be ranked seventh, but it should stop here. It is just an ordinary harem fan, not enough. fear."

After making such a judgment, Ying Kaiyu put the animation called "IS" behind him and stopped paying attention.

After all, in terms of animation rankings, he is the one at the top. Instead of studying a little-known animation studio work, it is better to learn the storyboarding skills of "Blood Rose" and "Xianzun".

……

Also concerned about the broadcasting of "IS" is Xiao Zhengwen, the head of the procurement department of Yueqi Video who is responsible for purchasing "IS".

Due to hitting the Shura field of the new show in January, Xiao Zhengwen racked his brains, but failed to get any decent recommendation for "IS" from the above. This made Xiao Zhengwen, who felt that the quality of "IS" was not bad, in his heart, There is always a kind of regret.

This kind of regret, after he reviewed the follow-up status of "IS" in the background that day, turned into a touch of regret.

In terms of the popular emoticons nowadays:

Party (Mosaic eyes): I regret it now, I regret it very much.jpg

He looked at the background data of "IS":

"Infinite Stratos"

Click: 41634

Follow up: 14823

Score: 7.1

Comments: 1492

Xiao Zhengwen, as the team leader of Yueqi Video's special trip to be in charge of animation procurement, naturally knows the background data of his own animation very well. Although "IS" does not have a high score, its audience retention rate is extremely high, that is to say, everyone Most viewers who finished watching "IS" were attracted by this animation and chose to chase after it.

Judging from the current results of "IS", this animation can be said to be a steady profit without losing money. If it weren't for the fact that the January file was too shy and had a few popular fans on its head, the results of "IS" might be even better. good.

Looking at the comment area of ​​"IS" again, it is also full of praise at the moment:

"I think this new show may be poisonous... The plot is obviously illogical, but I actually watched it, and I still feel that I can't watch it enough, so I want to keep chasing it..."

"Toxic +1, I think I have read a thousand episodes, and it's not that I haven't seen a harem episode that is better than "IS", but I don't know why, none of them seem to make me feel like "IS" Can't stop!"

"To be honest, although the plot is ignorant, there is no explanation for why the male lead can use IS, but how can I say that once you accept such a setting, it's actually...unexpectedly touching?"

"Looking good! Pre-ordered and purchased, wait for the update next month!"

Xiao Zhengwen was so regretful that his intestines turned green!

If he had known that "IS" could achieve such a result, he should have stopped the other side when Shepherd Star asked to arrange "IS" in January. According to this trend, change to a month without big bosses, "IS" has properly reached the top, and it won't be struggling in the field of Shura like it is now, being crushed under the feet of "Blood Rose" and "Immortal Venerable".

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengwen just felt overwhelmed. You must know that if the animation he purchased can rank among the top three, according to the rules of Yueqi Company, he will also be rewarded.

I managed to buy a animation with great potential, but I accidentally arranged it in the Shura field, and became cannon fodder for the bosses...

Xiao Zhengwen: QAQ

His achievements!His bonus!His promotion opportunity!I just passed him by like this!

What Xiao Zhengwen didn't know was that in a corner he couldn't see, the popularity of "IS" was still spreading quietly:

In the anime exchange group, a netizen said out of boredom: "It's so boring, do you have any good-looking new episodes to recommend recently?"

Luo Gaofeng, who happened to see this message, didn't even think about it. Amway said, "I'm chasing "Infinite Stratos" in Yueqi's video. It's a harem fan. It's pretty good. Would you like to try it?"
