Chapter 222 Interview

When January's New Year's Day is over.

Xia Yan also started to get busy.

It would be okay if there was just one award selection that required Xia Yan to cooperate with various tasks, but Xia Yan was nominated for all four award selections and had a high chance of winning the gold medal.

The organizers of the awards naturally made preparations in advance.

Of course, the most positive one among them must be the organizer of Dragon Kingdom’s annual best TV animation selection.

After all, the influence, popularity and impact of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's work on the industry are obvious to all.

It can be said that if this award is not awarded to Madoka Magica this year, then their animation selection will have no credibility in the eyes of Dragon Kingdom animation fans and will become a complete joke.

Dragon Kingdom animation fans will call their organizers idiots.

But before that, as the organizers of this award, they at least need to know the true identity of the "Love Warrior" to prevent all kinds of mistakes from happening.

On Tuesday, the organizer of the event sent a special person to the headquarters of "Xia Tang Animation Production Company" at the time and place reserved in advance.

To be honest, although Love Warrior is quite famous now, "Xia Tang Animation" is still a younger brother company among the animation companies in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

In the one year since its establishment, it has only produced one animation.

Moreover, if you look at the Puella Magi Madoka Magica animation with a critical eye, many areas of the animation are very rough. However, because the plot is so excellent, fans will not find fault with it.

As a staff member of the organizer of the "Best TV Animation" selection, Yang Yiyi, her boss in her company, and two photographers spent more than a day running around, and finally finally

I came here from the Imperial Capital area.

Looking at this old office building, Yang Yiyi's eyes flashed with astonishment.

"Ah, what a poor company. This office building seems to have been built for more than thirty years. Is Puella Magi Madoka Magica really born here?"

"This is definitely correct. The address the other party gave is right here."

Yang Yiyi's boss Jiang Jun pointed to a person waiting for the elevator at the elevator entrance.

"I know that person, Yang Jin. He was the assistant animation director of the popular animation "Knights of the Universe" six years ago. Will he still have a vacation here? I guess he was poached by Xia Tang Animation."

Jiang Juan said as he went to greet Yang Jin.

Yang Yiyi and the two photographers following him also followed.

Seeing her boss and master having a pleasant conversation with the middle-aged man named Yang Jin, who was not surprised that he and his team came to verify the true identity of the Love Warrior on behalf of the organizer of the event, Yang Yiyi also put her heart in her heart. Doubts dispelled.

It’s really here

It's too shabby.

Compared with the offices of the three major animation companies in Longguo, this place is really inferior.

Walking into the elevator, following Yang Jin, he felt a sense of weightlessness as he ascended.

"You guys come to the boss to confirm his identity and enter it into the system, haha. Then you have to be prepared." Yang Jin was in a bad mood today, but he immediately became happy when he saw them coming.

"What? Why are you so happy? Is your boss someone I know?" Jiang Juan sounded curious.

Those of them who work in the animation industry specialize in this kind of interview activities on weekdays, and they know a lot of people in the industry.

This is how she knew the Yang Jin in front of her before.

The rumor that has gone viral in the industry is that the Love Warriors are some of the great animation screenwriters who have retired for many years. Is this true?

"Hahaha, you must know him, but my boss definitely doesn't know you." Yang Jin smiled.

After all, when he first switched jobs to Xia Tang Animation Company, he was confused for a few days after learning that the company's boss was Yuan Qing.

After coming to the company for a few months, I saw little by little how my boss was responsible for the script creation of two animations in the company. He also serialized Initial D comics and Sword Art Online novels and became the top in both industries.

Yang Jin and a group of people in the company actually have an unimaginable admiration for their boss at this moment.

But before that, he could also be excited to see the confused expressions on those friends he knew in the animation industry after seeing the identity of his boss revealed.

He has been holding this secret for several months, and now the boss finally reveals his identity because he is going to participate in the animation awards. This is so cool.

After Jiang Juan saw Yang Jin's expression, his curiosity rose to the highest level.

Originally, it was just to confirm the identity of the creator of the nominated works, and there was no need for so many people to go through such a battle and come to visit in person to confirm.

But after all, the other party is the Love Warrior, the creator of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's animation. While stopping by to confirm his identity, he will shoot some interview videos, and then at the Teito TV awards show, before revealing the Love Warrior's identity, when the material is broadcast , that is the real purpose.

"Anyway, you will know when you see the boss. It will definitely surprise you." Yang Jin laughed and walked out of the elevator.

Jiang Jun and his apprentice subordinate Yang Yiyi walked into the Xia Tang Animation Company headquarters with two photographers.

At nine-thirty in the morning, the entire company is already in an immersive working state.

Yang Yiyi took a casual look and could see various divisions of labor processing animation material clips.

Is it the animation material for I’ll Wait for You in Seven Years and Cyberpunk Edgewalker?

Yang Yiyi was curious, but didn't look further.

After all, it's rude, just look at it a few times, but if you look at it too much, people may have all sorts of ideas.

I was arranged to wait in the company reception room for a while.

Jiang Juan and Yang Yiyi also talked in low voices.

"It feels a bit mysterious! This company."

"Don't talk nonsense. When the beloved warrior hears it, you and I will not be responsible for making him angry.

After Jiang Jun finished speaking, he was also thinking about the angle from which he would approach the conversation with this mysterious warrior of love in the Dragon Kingdom animation world.

Shooting, I asked before, is allowed, the photographers have already adjusted the camera.

After waiting for a few minutes, there were several knocks on the door of the room. Jiang Jun and Yang Yiyi both looked at the door.

Then

A young man walked in.

He had a handsome appearance and a tired expression. He held a document in his hand, looked at it, and then compared the identities of Jiang Jun and Yang Yiyi based on the document.

After confirming that it was correct, Xia Yan put down the document and walked up to Jiang Juan with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Miss Jiang, my name is Xia Yan, and I am the "Fighter of Love" known to everyone in the animation industry."

After Xia Yan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, but after waiting for several seconds, there was no response from the other party.

Jiang Jun's expression was stunned.

Her subordinate and apprentice Yang Yiyi also had the same expression as hers, and even his eyes were dull.

The two photographers did their job very well and kept focusing their cameras on Xia Yan, but in fact, the four people in the room except Xia Yan were already in a state of turmoil.

Who is working in the two-dimensional industry and doesn’t know Xia Yan?

The No. 1 novelist in Liuli Journal and the No. 1 comic book writer in Beizhou Comics Journal.

Author of the popular animated film To the Moon.

However.

Is this darkness under the lamp?

Yang Yi blinked, finding this fact funny but also somewhat reasonable.

Yes, this guy can turn the novel and comic world upside down in a few months, why can't he use the same time to turn the animation world upside down?

The Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional industry has not seen a genius like this in more than ten or twenty years.

How could it be possible to suddenly get two out of one?

Yuanqing is the warrior of love.

This conclusion sounds funny, but actually it makes perfect sense when you think about it.

hehe

That's weird.

This is completely unreasonable.

Jiang Juan and Yang Yiyi felt inexplicably sad at the moment.

Although they are not the creators of two-dimensional works, they also know that in this industry, in games, animations, comics, novels, and even music scenes, if a person can achieve a certain degree of popularity in one of them, he has to work hard. effort.

And Xia Yan

In just over a year after entering university, many tracks have blossomed.

This can no longer be described as a conventional genius.

What does this make practitioners in other two-dimensional industries in Longguo think?

In April, the Novel Circle’s Imperial Star Award was awarded to Sword Art Online, the Comic Circle’s Ryūin Award was awarded to Initial D, the Best Animated Film Award was awarded to To the Moon, and the Best TV Animation Award was awarded to Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

The award recipients are all Xia Yan

At that time, what kind of shock will this kind of thing cause in the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional industry?

Jiang Jun felt numb when he thought about this scene.

"Miss Jiang?" Xia Yan reminded her.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Xia Yan, I lost my temper." Jiang Jun quickly adjusted his mood.

After regaining her composure, she immediately understood the huge amount of traffic hidden behind this fact.

Although the selection of these awards is supported by various official organizations of the Dragon Kingdom, in fact, these activities also depend on performance indicators.

When Xia Yan's identity is revealed, are you worried that the ratings of the live broadcast of the awards show will be low?

"I really didn't know that Teacher Xia Yan, you were so unexpected," Jiang Juan immediately said with a smile.

"Your animation fans and novel fans argue every day about who is stronger, Yuanqing or the Warrior of Love, but they have never thought about this possibility. Teacher Xia Yan, what are your considerations for using such an identity in the animation field? Woolen cloth?"

At this time, the camera was focused on Xia Yan.

The interview has begun.

After Xia Yan took a look, his expression remained as usual.

"Well, because I know that Puella Magi Madoka Magica will have various disturbances during the broadcast time, and I am worried that angry animation fans will criticize my novels, causing a war of words between animation and novel fans." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Actually, after the completion of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the reputation is so good that your worries can basically be ignored. Why didn't you reveal your identity at that time and channel the popularity of the animation to Initial D and Sword Art Online?" Jiang Jun asked pointedly.

"Because the quality of these two works is also very high. Even if I don't do this, I believe that these two works will definitely become popular in the Dragon Kingdom," Xia Yan said.

Of course, in fact, Xia Yan was only observing and considering the development process of these popular works from other worlds in the Dragon Kingdom to a certain extent with as little other interference as possible.

Anyway, he already knew that his identity would be exposed when he participated in the awards selection. It was only a matter of time before animation fans attracted attention, so there was no need to be in a hurry.

"You are really confident." Jiang Jun looked confused.

Other creators hope that their new works can catch on to the popularity of popular masterpieces.

As for Xia Yan, what he meant by his words was that he wanted to see if Initial D and Sword Art Online, which were freely developing on the market, could be as influential as Magic Circle.

"Well, it's okay." Xia Yan changed his tone and deliberately skipped this topic.

Yang Yiyi watched the question and answer between his master and Xia Yan.

Now I understand why Yang Jin had such an expression in the elevator before.

If she was an employee of this company, she would definitely have the same mentality if she knew the true identity of her boss but kept such big news because of professional ethics and confidentiality agreement.

The content of Xia Yan and Jiang Jun's interview continued to deepen, and time passed little by little.

An hour later, Jiang Jun stood up with satisfaction.

"Today's interview is very meaningful. Teacher Xia Yan, your true identity will be kept secret until the last moment. However, we may excerpt some of the audio of this interview and put it on the official website of the selection as a way to attract animation fans to pay attention to the award selection and gain traffic. I wonder if you, Teacher Xia Yan..."

"Well, this is not a problem. Just don't take the content of the interview out of context." Xia Yan said.

"As for the disclosure of the identity, it depends on the arrangement of the organizer. I can't keep it secret. After all, the identity of "Warrior of Love" is too popular."

"Then at the end, I would like to ask for the vast number of animation fans of Teacher Xia Yan, what do you personally think of Teacher Xia Yan's new animation?" Jiang Jun asked.

"Well" Xia Yan looked at the camera.

I know this is a great opportunity to beat GG, if this content can be broadcast.

"Magical Girl Madoka Magica. It is my first original animation, but it will not be my pinnacle in the animation industry. I will definitely create a work that can surpass Madoka Magica in the future. So, this work that can surpass Madoka Magica, why can't it be my next new work?"

After the interview, Jiang Jun, Yang Yiyi, and the two photographers walked out of Xia Tang Animation Production Company with a confused expression.

The few people looked at each other and thought about the achievements of Xia Yan.

Goose bumps all came up, this person is really exaggerated.

The next evening, on the official website of the Dragon Country's annual best TV animation selection.

The content of the profile page of the nominated animation work Madoka Magica has changed.

It was an audio clip.

"Magical Girl Madoka Magica. It is my first original animation. But it will not be my pinnacle in the animation industry!"

A confident male voice sounded.

The voice sounded very young, at least not middle-aged or elderly.

This audio clip appeared under the nomination page of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The short but informative content of the audio clip made fans understand everything immediately.

That was the voice of the "Warrior of Love".

The most mysterious existence in the Dragon Country animation industry, the Warrior of Love

Is this his voice?

The excited fans of Puella Magi Madoka Magica celebrated the New Year today.

Although they usually call the Warrior of Love an old thief, in fact, they love this guy just as much.

But the Warrior of Love didn't even want to release a photo.

Now, after this audio clip of his was released on the official animation selection website, it quickly sparked a heated discussion in the Dragon Country animation circle.

I can't stand it tonight. The temperature is 30 or 40 degrees. I'm dying of sleep. I'll update one chapter first. If I'm in good condition tomorrow, I'll make up for it.
