Chapter 565 Let’s Watch the First TV Broadcast Together
November 28th, Jin Yao Day.
The clock hands turned past midnight.
It's no longer Friday night, but early Saturday morning.
But for the student party and social animals, these two times are good times.
At this time, it was at the home of Shimokawa Yoji, a high school boy in Tokyo.
Yoji Shimokawa and his friends Tsunayoshi Hidaka and Fumiya Takahashi were watching in front of the TV.
"In twenty minutes, it will be the first TV broadcast of "Uncertain Miss Mary". Judging from the program list, since the pilot is scheduled for today, it will be broadcast in two episodes."
Shimokawa is very much looking forward to the new show.
He was originally a loyal fan of virtual anchor Mary Sauce, and he also contributed a large number of live broadcast slices of Mary Sauce online.
Recently, because Mary Sauce has become popular on the Internet, the number of views of his slices has also increased.
And Hidaka Tsunryo is also a fan of Mari-chan.
He himself is a serious mobile game enthusiast. Since the last time he had ten pieces of hardware in the live broadcast room with Mary-chan, he has to silently recite Mary's name every time he draws a card, trying to borrow Mary-chan's "supernatural power".
But let’s not talk about it. Although it was more of a joke mentality, since that time, Hidaka’s luck in drawing cards seems to be quite good.
As for Takahashi Fumiya, he doesn’t usually watch virtual anchors.
Takahashi's usual hobby is watching anime, whether it's anime, TV series, or movies, even the popular ones.
Then I write movie reviews online, make video reviews of new shows, and the like.
Although he is not a professional film critic, his evaluation is quite pertinent and insightful, and he also has a certain number of fans online.
Today, Shimokawa and Hidaka called Takahashi together because they were going to watch the first broadcast of "Miss Mary."
I also hope to hear his evaluation as soon as possible.
Yoji Shimokawa: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous."
Takahashi Fumiya: "Why are you so nervous? It won't hinder you."
Hidaka Tsunryo: "Oh, Fumiya, you don't understand. Mari-chan's affairs have been so popular on the Internet recently, and many people are waiting to see the excitement. If the reputation of this new series is not good, then what will Mari-chan suffer on the Internet? I can't even think of such taunts and attacks. Wow, Mary is an angel."
"Yes, there have been many more people in Mari-chan's live broadcast room during this period. It is indeed a good thing that the popularity has risen so quickly, but there are also many people setting the pace. The reputation of this new show is also related to Mari-chan's reputation. . This is a battle that cannot be lost!”
"So sometimes, I really hope that Marie-chan won't be as popular as she is now. The live broadcast room used to be so pure."
"You just want to hear her curse people and a group of people praying strangely, right?" Fumiya Takahashi shook his head helplessly, "Besides, the person in the middle of Marie-chan must have different ideas from you. How could she hope that she would always be there?" "Lukewarm."
"But people on the Internet say that Mary-chan's lover may be a wealthy lady. She probably doesn't care about this very much, right?"
"Since she has chosen to be a virtual anchor, even if she is originally a young lady, no matter what the purpose, she definitely hopes that her work will be recognized." Fumiya Takahashi is still relatively rational.
"Hey, Fumiya, you said you don't watch the virtual anchor, but you didn't expect that you know a lot about Mari-chan. Could it be that you are also a hidden fan, right?"
"I'm not. Let me state in advance that I have no interest in paper trappers at all!" Fumiya Takahashi said loudly, vowing, "It's just that the virtual anchor thing has been so hot on the Internet recently, and it's easy to see the discussion. "
"Don't be so sure. Let me tell you, Wenzai, why don't you join in the trap? Mary-chan is really amazing. Yesterday, I used her live broadcast room as a horse girl, and she even won the Arc de Triomphe."
Hidaka Tsunryo shook his mobile phone and showed his impressive achievements last night to his friends.
"Let me tell you, you two should be more reasonable. The greater your hopes, the greater your disappointment may be."
Takahashi Fumiya still looked extremely calm.
"Reason? Why are you asking me to be rational? This is an anime with Mari-chan as the protagonist. You have no idea what this means to us old fans!"
The three male high school students were noisy and the time quickly came to 0:20.
Tonight's TV premiere of "Miss Mary" has finally begun.
The first is the theme song, which is sung by the voice actress of Miss Mary, the protagonist in the drama. The music style is fresh and oriented, and with the smart girl's voice, it is not bad.
Fair enough.
The boys fell silent, and Takahashi Fumiya also opened his notebook.
This is the quality of an amateur reviewer. Originally, "Miss Mary" has been highly discussed on the Internet recently, and Takahashi planned to take advantage of the popularity and do a review after returning home.
He is also a fun-loving person, but he is a moderate one. He does not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but is the type who will go and have a look wherever there is something new and lively.
In addition, Takahashi himself is not very optimistic about this new series.
It feels like there is a high probability that it is the sensationalism of the virtual anchor. I have never heard of the GENIE studio before. It is difficult for such a combination to make people doubt the final quality of the series.
Maybe it was really just a gimmick, trying to attract fans for his live broadcast.
Takahashi is even mentally prepared to include this new show in the next issue of his "Bad Show Reviews" series.
For film critics, bad movies also have their value.
Anyway, even if this new series sucks, it won't be a loss for Takahashi. Instead, it can take advantage of the situation to attract more traffic from popular events.
win!
However, the fact that "Miss Mary" was first aired on TBS may have something to say.
Let’s take a look first and then talk.
The theme song ends, and the face of the protagonist, Miss Mary, appears on the screen of the first episode.
"Hello, I'm Miss Mary, I'm behind you."
Miss Mary appears on the stage, and her words are classic lines from urban legends.
Because the protagonist's appearance was consistent with Satoru's leather case, two die-hard fans, Shimokawa and Hidaka, immediately became excited.
Takahashi doesn't have the fan filter of his friends. Apart from complaining about "the otaku is so disgusting", he still concentrates on watching the plot.
But judging from the opening shots, the painting of this new series is still very sophisticated, and it doesn't look like a shoddy work at all.
This slightly changed Takahashi's first impression of this new series.
The story revolves around Miss Mary responding to a call by phone and coming to an island where the "Lucky Fish Festival" celebration is about to be held.
As Miss Mary's perspective deepens into the main stage of the story, she comes into contact with several little monsters on the island, and discovers that there seems to be an undercurrent surging behind the seemingly peaceful "Lucky Fish Festival" celebration; some islanders are secretly ready to make trouble, and seem to be planning something. What; the object of the celebration, the true identity of the island’s God of Fortune is also doubtful...
Fumiya Takahashi, who originally didn't have high hopes for this series, was quickly attracted by the plot and got into the rhythm.
The thirty minutes or so of one episode went by extremely quickly.
The rhythm of the plot is very well controlled and fascinating. All the doubts on the island are put in front of the audience, which whets the audience's appetite and makes people eager to see the subsequent development. The first episode ends.
But fortunately, tonight's premiere is a two-episode series.
"The script of this drama is very well written. And many parts of the story are very unique, especially the perspective of the little monsters on the island... How can I put it, there is a script that is not written by humans, but by the monsters themselves. The strange novelty of creation.”
Takahashi secretly admired this in his heart.
He glanced at the scriptwriter's name in the ending theme, "Shu Liu".
A name I've never heard of at all.
However, the script style of this "Suru" teacher seems to be similar to that of the up-and-coming scriptwriter "Kuroshoku" teacher who Takahashi liked very much in the past.
The advantages of both are very distinct——
They are all good at creating suspense, arousing the audience's curiosity, and using this to mobilize the audience's emotions, completely controlling the plot from beginning to end.
It's a pity that the black teacher seems to have disappeared from the Internet after Tokuma Studio, where he originally belonged, was acquired by Taisha.
The second episode starts soon.
The story is full of contradictions and conflicts, and the puzzles are solved in this chapter. It is not sloppy at all and is hearty and hearty.
Then the climax comes.
It was Miss Mary who appeared in response to the prayer of the little girl "Jia Shi" who was chosen as a sacrifice to the "lucky fish", and stood alone in front of the island evil gods Monga——
"Hello, I am Miss Mary, and I am in front of you."
Miss Mary's personal theme song played at the same time.
"Oh oh oh oh! It's on fire. This is so cool! The production team's budget is exploding!"
"Wow! Mary-chan Saigao!"
Kawashita and Hidaka hugged each other excitedly, lowering their voices and letting out a high school boy's scream with unknown meaning.
If it weren't for the fact that it was already very late and they were afraid of disturbing the neighbors, their voices would probably lift the ceiling.
But I can't blame the two of them.
The performance of the battle scenes in "Miss Mary" is truly outstanding. All the previously suppressed emotions were vented and released in this section.
The gorgeous and exciting light and shadow effects on the TV were reflected in the eyes of the three male students.
Even Takahashi's blood boiled with excitement, thinking:
"The battle scenes are very well done. Does this GENIE studio have such sufficient funds? Could it be that the rumors and speculations on the Internet are true. The person who is the target of the virtual anchor Miss Mary is really not short of money. The eldest lady of flowers?”
After a high-energy performance, Miss Mary, who switched to fighting mode, naturally defeated the evil god Mengjia.
So far, this first story "Lucky Fish" can be considered a good story just in terms of plot arrangement and performance effects.
Takahashi had already foreseen that after tonight, the popularity of the virtual anchor Mari-chan would definitely increase further.
Because the answer sheet she handed in was completely qualified, the previous doubts would be self-defeating.
As for the ending of "Lucky Fish", it is probably Miss Mary who saves Jia Shi and restores peace to the island.
Later, amateur film critic Takahashi saw a scene on TV that he did not expect -
After the battle, Mary-san looked back.
Instead of the lively, arrogant and cute look she had in her daily state, she was looking at the Jiayo she had saved with a kind of divine compassion.
This stunning glimpse of the scene was spared no effort to render it beautifully.
"Wow, Mary is strong and beautiful."
"Mary, little angel, I will use this lens as my desktop to pray every day! Mary is the light!"
Unlike the two friends who were immersed in Miss Mary's beauty, Takahashi experienced other content and emotions from this shot.
It seems that the ending will not be what he expected...
Sure enough, the camera turns and the little girl Jia Shi was chosen as a lucky fish. Long before Mary came to the island, her soul was eroded by Monga and was riddled with holes.
Even Mary couldn't save her.
The story ends with Jia Shi's funeral. The atmosphere is heavy and weird. The islanders who came to see her off had sad expressions on their faces, but also revealed inexplicable joy and happiness.
The scene switches to the scene of the islanders going out to sea to fish.
The camera freezes on the rising sun, the sparkling sea, the plump white fish catch, and the faces of the islanders who are extremely happy because of the expected good harvest.
"Fu Yu Man Fu!"
They shouted.
The story ends, abruptly.
The room was silent for about half a minute until the girl's singing of the ending song sounded.
Takahashi Fumi-ya shuddered and came back to his senses.
The story's sharp contrast and intriguing ending shocked him and made him fall into deep thought.
"Hey, this...isn't it awesome?" Shimokawa, who was sitting in front, turned his head and his eyes flickered.
"Takahashi, say something. You are the great critic among us." Hidaka also echoed in a daze.
"Very...good. This show is likely to become a strong show at the end of the year."
Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief and gave a fair evaluation.
As for the "bad show review" series that he had considered before, how could this show be included. If you want to get this wave of traffic from the big event, the right way is to stay up all night and make an in-depth analysis of the first story of "Miss Mary" after returning home -
The group sacrifices the individual to gain benefits.
The complex human nature of bystanders giving sympathy and pity to the victims, and celebrating happily because it is not their business and there are vested interests.
And can Miss Mary's redemption of Fukuo Island really change that place...
The core and discussion points of this first story are so rich that Takahashi Fumiya feels that he can start writing right now and write a long commentary of 10,000 words!
The TV broadcast of "Miss Mary" will continue until the end of the year according to the program schedule.
If the subsequent stories and performances can guarantee this quality, it is very likely to become a dark horse with excellent reputation!
Takahashi Fumiya's previous prejudice against this virtual anchor's investment in the production of anime has been swept away, replaced by great expectations.
Maybe this Mary-chan is really going to create an unprecedented V-circle story.
The V-circle is not big, maybe someone really wants to create a myth.
Thinking of this, Takahashi glanced at the two friends who were still discussing the plot, quietly took out his mobile phone, opened YouTube, and silently pressed the follow button on the homepage of the virtual anchor Mary-chan.
