Chapter 815
"This rhythm is really slow!"
"Actually, it's not bad. I think everything is ok. I enjoyed watching it!"
"I'm not saying that the current plot is boring. I also think that the current plot is very happy, but it's useless. If you go to a Sichuan restaurant to eat, the menu they give you is all Hunan cuisine. You don't think it doesn't matter. I'm here to watch basketball animations. Yes, but it’s been four episodes, and the protagonist Sakuragi Hanamichi hasn’t even had a match, and hasn’t scored a single shot. It’s outrageous!”
"That's right, so far I still don't know what the main line of this work is? The plot of Sakuragi Flower Road has just joined the basketball team. With this rhythm, when will I see him play?"
"I don't think it's a problem! What does it matter if you play basketball or not? It's enough to watch him be funny. I was so depressed at work all day, and watching this animation at noon made me laugh!"
"The question is, he's a slam dunk master, not a comedian! It's all about a hundred episodes of funny plots?"
"Indeed, seeing it now gives me the feeling that my writing is off track. It's bad, funny, and there are too many plots in daily life. On the contrary, there is almost no progress in the main line of basketball."
"Ah, it's over, the fourth episode is over. I really didn't expect that until the end of the fourth episode, it was Sakuragi Flower Road who started practicing from dribbling. To be honest, I was a little confused!"
"This is too six. The basketball animation that the protagonist learns from dribbling is still the same in the follow-up plot. I can already feel a flood of water!"
"Let me see the preview of the next episode! Is this preview true?"
"Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't stand the boring basic training of the basketball team, and had a conflict with captain Akagi Takenori, are you planning to quit the team?"
"Oh my god, what the hell did I watch? I saw Sakuragi Hanadao join the basketball team after watching four episodes, but Mr. Zhao Qinyin asked him to leave the team in episode five? It's funny!"
"The forecast can't be taken as true, there will definitely be a reversal, be patient!"
"Even if there is a reversal, then the next chapter will be this plot, which is too watery!"
"It's true. When I watched the animation, I felt quite happy. Now when I hear you guys discussing the plot, it seems that there is indeed a bit of water!"
"Anyway, I feel that the plot is very confusing, but it's only the first week of the plot, don't be so anxious, maybe there will be a reversal later?"
Animation barrage, discussion group, Zhao Qinyin fan group, Weibo, all of which were directly fried at noon, and many diving parties popped up.
People in the animation industry were worried about being slapped in the face. After watching the plot of the first four episodes of Slam Dunk, they all kept silent, but animation audiences were very straightforward.
Those who can watch Slam Dunk at the first time are either fans of sports animation, or fans of Zhao Qinyin, or passers-by fans attracted by advertisements.
Among them, those who spray are basically those who like sports and competitive animations. After all, their goal is very clear, and they are here for basketball.
Many of them became very interested in this type of animation even after watching the two episodes of Lanfeng's update last night, so they searched the Internet and found the slam dunk player who competed with Lanfeng, and they were directly disappointed.
The immediate reaction is what is this?
Aren't you here to scam money? What basketball animation is this?
But for passers-by and Zhao Qinyin’s old fans, they actually think it’s okay. Many of Zhao Qinyin’s fans are female fans. They are not too interested in basketball, but they are very interested in Rukawa Kaede who appeared in the animation , and the plot of the first four episodes of Slam Dunk is very scattered, but from another perspective, it is indeed very funny. Before the length of the chapter is too long and the audience is tired of aesthetics, this kind of plot with the main character being two-handed and funny is actually very interesting for them to watch. joy!
Therefore, after the lunch break at noon, as the popularity of Slam Dunk on Weibo increased, the audience's attitude towards this work became polarized.
To say that it is good-looking basically does not treat this work as a basketball animation, but people who want everyone to really watch a basketball animation really cannot bear such a plot rhythm.
But today is a working day, and many people did not watch the first week of Slam Dunk during the day for various reasons!
In the evening, a group of people started to make complaints about slam dunks after get off work or after school!
And this wave of complaints at night was directed at Zhao Qinyin!
After all, Zhao Qinyin's last work was clannad, and the last impression she left on everyone was the tear-jerking, moving, and amazing words of clannad's final words.
People watch Slam Dunk with such high expectations of her, however.
"I'm convinced! What kind of work did Teacher Zhao Qinyin create?"
"So I said, Mr. Zhao Qinyin's new work is too reckless, how could a work like Clannad be created casually? Even if she is talented, in order to get angry with Tian Xing, she forcibly mounted the slam dunk master and sniped the basket wind , What kind of excellent plot can be conceived in such a short time? This is reality."
"That's right, I'm also a fan of Teacher Zhao Qinyin, but I'm not a crazy fan. Good is good, bad is bad. The plot of the first four episodes of Slam Dunk is really a bit of the kind of creative thinking! All of a sudden Unhealthy fights, a basketball duel, a chase after girls, and purely funny”
"It's not that bad, I think it looks good!"
"We didn't say it wasn't good-looking. Compared with many animations, the plot is indeed quite attractive, but considering the expectations for Teacher Zhao Qinyin's new work, her current reputation is just a bit disappointing!"
"Thinking about the scene when Clannad first aired, I'm smart enough not to speak!"
"The above, that kind of situation can only be said to be a special case, how can any work have explosive results like clannad in the later stage?"
"That's right, you can have expectations, but be realistic!"
"Let's see next week's plot first. I'm not a group of idiots like you. If the plot improves next week, I will come back and brag about Mr. Zhao Qinyin's embarrassing thing. I can't do it!"
Chu Yu looked away from his phone, it was ten o'clock in the evening, he had just left the company and returned home, and as he expected, the plot of Slam Dunk's first four episodes on the Internet was really full of complaints!
Some gloating people have already begun to spread the idea of the fallen genius on the Internet!
Chu Yu never paid any attention to these people. From the period when he was a big boy, basically every time he opened a new work, there would be such a view of the fall of genius.
But what Chu Yu focused on was the ordinary people's views on the slam dunk, but in fact, the current situation was much better than what Chu Yu expected.
After all, the opening plot of Slam Dunk is like this. At the time of serialization, because of the slow pace of the plot, its popularity was sluggish. In fact, many unscrupulous teenagers’ fighting plots in the work don’t match basketball animation at all. It’s even more uncomfortable for Hanamichi Sakuragi to fight when he’s in a bad mood. It fits the image of the protagonist of this type of animation!
But there is no way. During the serialization of Slam Dunk, the Japanese people liked comics about gangsters fighting. In order to save the sluggish popularity of comics, it is a last resort for the protagonist to fight instead of playing basketball!
Otherwise, the popularity is too low, I am afraid that before Mitsui Shou came out to save this work, it might be abandoned by the Japanese manga company in the parallel world at that time.
The original manga was also after Mitsui Shou appeared on the stage, the popularity of the manga reversed, and finally rose all the way, becoming a manga that could challenge Dragon Ball in that era.
But for now, Chu Yu also feels that this work will basically follow the popularity curve of the slam dunk in the parallel world manga serialization period in this world.
No way, the plot can’t be changed, those funny plots, gangsters fighting plots, really don’t advance the main plot, that is, the protagonist’s basketball and high school league. But for Sakuragi Hanamichi, Miyagi Ryota, Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Takenori, etc. The role, the shaping of the character of the character, cannot be ignored, and it cannot be deleted at all!
So. Before the Slam Dunk animation started broadcasting, Chu Yu was already aware of the shortcomings of Slam Dunk that these fans complained about, and even the result of being sprayed by the entire Internet is basically expected!
But it is different from the parallel world where Slam Dunk comics were serialized for more than a year before Mitsui Shou came out to save this work!
Dragon Kingdom, Slam Dunk updates four episodes a week. In the face of the huge amount of updates, in less than two months, the most criticized early episodes of Slam Dunk will all be smoothly transitioned
And in front of such a large investment to produce beautiful pictures, and Zhao Qinyin's huge fan base, Chu Yu felt that even if the reputation of Slam Dunk might not be good during this period of time, the results would definitely not be too bad. After all, the good and bad of the plot depends on how and with whom it is compared. In the parallel world, when the Slam Dunk manga was serialized in the same period, Yuyu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, and Saint Seiya.
But compared with the level of animation broadcast by Longguo in April this year, Chu Yu personally thinks it's okay! At least in the fan comments, many people also spoke for Slam Dunk, saying that this is the funniest animation they have seen in recent years! Although it's a bit weird, it's still a lot of praise from fans!
And when the storyline of the early stages is over and the storyline of Slam Dunk officially enters the storyline of the high school basketball league, then there is nothing more to say!
The work that can compete with the peak period of Dragon Ball serialization in the parallel world in the last century, the difference is how high the score will be after the outbreak of the later plot. The possibility of the work hitting the street is not within the scope of Chu Yu's consideration!
Of course, Chu Yu personally has the transcript of this work in the parallel world as a reference, so he is naturally at ease.
But for Su Bao and Zhao Qinyin, they were still the same as before, getting nervous!
"Chu Yu, look at this comment. They said that if Slam Dunk is still so procrastinating next week, they will abandon it!" Su Yu sat beside Chu Yu, holding a tablet in his hand, with a serious expression.
"It's normal for someone to abandon a work with a fan base of hundreds of millions, so don't shut him down!"
"What about this one? It may be good to say that Slam Dunk has Zhao Qinyin's fame and blessings in the first week, but he asserted that from the second week onwards, the popularity of this work will decline all the way, and it has become the most popular work in Dragon Kingdom for nearly two decades. Animation with the worst loss”
"Can this kind of thing affect you? You are the vice president of our company anyway, so you have to have some judgment and don't be influenced by Internet trolls!" Chu Yu couldn't help complaining.
"I also know, but the problem is that the plot of Slam Dunk for the next two weeks will be like this. I also think the plot of the latter one is very good, but I'm afraid that the audience will not have the patience to wait until then!" Su Ting crossed his legs On the couch, with a worried expression.
Chu Yu thought about it after hearing the words. Indeed, the information between the two was not equal. He knew that the fans in the parallel world did not give up because of the plot problems in the early stage of this work. Zhao Qinyin and Zhao Qinyin have no idea about this, they don't know anything about it!
Slam Dunk has more than ten stories. The main character is everyone, bragging, chasing girls, and judo plots. Anyone who knows the real situation will feel uneasy!
Although Chu Yu has proved many times in the past that his works can be reversed later, it would be great if emotions were so easy to control!
Anime is just like novels, the beginning is too stretched, and the audience is basically not interested in seeing how your plot turns in the later stage.
"Don't worry, this is not the first time you have encountered this situation, and it will get better in the future!" Chu Yu said in a serious tone while staring at Su Bao.
"Cough cough cough" On the other side, Zhao Qinyin coughed twice.
She felt a weird atmosphere just now, like Su Yu and Chu Yu, as if she didn't exist.
Chu Yu and Su Yi hurriedly restrained themselves
Indeed, for a moment just now, both of them forgot about Zhao Qinyin's big light bulb!
"Then Chu Yu, in the current situation, I need to increase my publicity and conduct more interviews. Will the fan meeting bring popularity to the work?" Zhao Qinyin asked.
"Are you afraid that you think you are an iron man? You have a full schedule and work all day long, so it's impossible not to sleep! Of course you don't need to!" Chu Yu glanced at Zhao Qinyin.
"The current audience response is actually not bad. It's normal for them to have doubts about the plot, but if the serial length is longer, those doubts will disappear automatically!"
"But... if we don't take any measures, next week, the reputation and performance of Slam Dunk will definitely be surpassed by the basket!" Zhao Qinyin said with a slight frown.
After all, it is the premiere of Slam Dunk. Thanks to Zhao Qinyin's own popularity and bombarding publicity, the growth curve of Slam Dunk is not weaker than that of Lanfeng, but judging from the audience ratings of the two works on Xinmanwang Said that she did feel the crisis.
The viewer rating of Basket Wind is 9.2. If there are explosive points in the follow-up plot, this score will definitely increase. However, the first broadcast score of Slam Dunk is only 8.9. Although the score of negative reviews can be revised later, but You also need to focus on the plot in the later stage, good enough for lazy viewers to move their fingers to modify it! It's hard!
Passer-by anime fans actually watch anime a lot, and what they look at is the rating of a work. If a group of fans complain about the work at the beginning of the work, and the website rating is very low, a vicious circle will eventually form.
And judging from the current ratings, if Slam Dunk continues to update the content of the fourth episode of the daily plot next week, the ratings will definitely drop, and impatient fans may start to abandon the fan!
"Don't worry. What we are after is the ultimate victory, not a short-term surpass. Let's surpass it. Make Tianxing happy for two or three weeks!" Chu Yu paused for two seconds, then said.
Su Yu and Zhao Qinyin looked at Chu Yu's expression, and didn't say much!
In the next two days, as more and more viewers entered the pit, dozens of works were broadcast one by one in the April new animation market, and the entire April animation market became clearer!
Indeed, as everyone expected, Slam Dunk relied on its excellent production and promotional expenses that were higher than 90% of the animation production costs in the animation market in April, and the animation performance was outstanding!
Basket Wind aired for four days, and the inland episodes averaged more than 4 million views, and the Japanese islands exceeded 1.1 million, ranking No. 1 in both places for animation broadcasts in April!
However, the rapid growth trend of its performance ends here. After all, the drainage of the lba basketball professional league is a continuous process. Keep playing, the effect will become more and more obvious!
And many fans like to raise fat sheep. If the animation does not update more than ten or twenty episodes, no matter how good your work is, it will not be slaughtered at this time. The next increase in animation performance will normally enter a Slow and continuous period!
As long as the quality of the work does not collapse, the average play volume of the work will increase slowly! But how far it will go in the end depends on the total length of the work and the total number of Longguo animation fans!
Generally speaking, even if Lelouch's average score of more than 20 million is enough to be serialized for five or six years, it will not increase much compared to now. After all, the number of secondary elements is also limited! People who know how to watch this type of animation have already seen it, and if you don’t like it, you don’t need to say more!
However, if a work is serialized for a long time, infants and young children will grow into children, and children will grow into teenagers. Therefore, the popularity of many long-form animations does not mean that its fans have not been lost, but that it has always had new fans. !
However, as far as the current results are concerned, Tianxing is very satisfied. Judging from the current results, the basketball wind sets are all over 10 million, and if the lba drainage effect is good, 15 million is not a dream!
Zhao Yongbai frequently made various remarks on his social accounts. The whole article was full of words of thanks to fans for their support. He also seemed happy when he was interviewed. However, when the media asked about his opinion on Slam Dunk, he used words very carefully.
After all, he has been in the animation industry for more than 20 years, and he doesn't want to capsize now. He said he will observe Slam Dunk for two weeks, and he will definitely observe for two weeks! He doesn't want to beat himself up!
But judging from the facts, Slam Dunk has been surpassed by the basketball style over time, both in terms of word-of-mouth and performance!
This work, which is widely rumored on the Internet, has a procrastinating plot, the main character is bad, and playing basketball is to pick up girls. Therefore, many fans of passers-by are very sensible. People who love to watch funny anime will fall for the funny plot. It doesn’t matter if it’s basketball or not, I’m just watching it for fun!
But passers-by fans who come for basketball competitive animations, and there is such a well-received work as "Basket Wind" next to them, naturally they will not fall into the trap of slam dunk!
So the actual situation is that Slam Dunk is born from the sniper basketball style in the eyes of the outside world, but the reality is that most people who like basketball and sports animation still choose the basketball style! On the contrary, Slam Dunk itself, the investment and publicity is not inferior to the basketball style, but the average broadcast volume of the basketball series exceeds 4 million in four days, with a score of 9.1, while the average broadcast volume of the Slam Dunk episode is only 3.2 million, with a rating of 9.1 Eight five!
The gap is obvious!
At this point, those commentators in the animation industry, with big mouths, and the media finally couldn't sit still!
Although from the perspective of historical results, whether it is Shui Xin or Zhao Qinyin, geniuses like them have had instances of people who broke out in the later stages and beat them up!
But what we have to ignore is that neither Shui Xin nor Zhao Qinyin faced opponents of Zhao Yongbai's level before.
Zhao Yongbai's basketball style is clearly showing signs of taking off, and the types of works of the two are still exactly the same, and there is an effect of fans earning and grabbing, will Slam Dunk still be the same as before, and come back later?
Many people have actually thought about this possibility, but they don't believe in evil!
Sister, how can there be such a thing, every work has huge flaws in the early stage, but it is reversed in the later stage, with this strength, why not make the early stage plot as good as the later stage?
So it's the weekend. When those secondary apes who like to be active on the Internet log in to major websites, they find that there are already complaints on the Internet, criticizing the imagination of the slam dunk!
And on Monday of the next day, Xinmanwang, a place full of Zhao Qinyin's fans, also appeared a lot of short videos complaining about the plot of the first four episodes of Slam Dunk and comparing it with the basketball style!
Of course, there are relatively few pure sunspots among them. Most of the up masters make these videos, and they are basically rational fans who are carefully analyzing the plot of the first four episodes of Slam Dunk.
They also pointed out in the video that, in fact, the production level of the first four episodes of Slam Dunk is absolutely online. The main reason for their criticism is that the investment in this work is so huge, and the screenwriter is Zhao Qinyin who just created clannad. I have very high expectations for this work, but the final impression of the work is that it cannot be said to be bad, but it definitely did not meet expectations! It doesn't matter if the plot is only confusing in the first four episodes and quickly adjusted later, but if it is not like this, then the situation will be unpredictable!
Because of the same idea, the real fans of Zhao Qinyin are still restrained, waiting for the second week of the plot of Basket Wind and Slam Dunk.
