Chapter 229 Approaching
Time has entered March, and awards activities such as the Dragon Song Award in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry, the Emperor Star Award in the novel industry, the best TV animation in the animation industry, and the best animated film selection have also officially started.
For the Emperor Star Award selection, each major fiction book club recommends works to the organizing committee, and then the judges go through two rounds of discussion and selection to finally decide on the top ten and the final winner of the first gold medal.
The Longyin Comic Awards are not all decided by the judges.
First of all, any comics club ranked high in Long Kingdom can recommend their comic works for selection.
However, depending on the status and scale of the comic book club in the industry, each has one to four nomination quotas, and then
It will be publicized on the Internet for a month, and anyone can authenticate an account with their real-name identity and vote for their favorite works.
Only the top twenty most popular comic works recommended by comic readers in the Dragon Kingdom will enter the second round, where the judges of the Dragon Yin Award will select the winning works.
After all, if a comic cannot be recognized by the majority of readers, but only by dozens of comic judges, readers will also criticize the Dragon Yin Award selected in this way. This is different from the Emperor Star Award: .
And the selection of the Best TV Animation Award and the Best Animated Film Award.
That's more mysterious.
The animation industry is indeed larger in terms of scale and influence than the comics and light novel industries. For terminal games that belong to the two-dimensional industry chain, their award selections are relatively not so transparent.
Regardless of which work you want to participate in the selection, the company must submit its own application. As long as your animation work is broadcast that year, you are eligible.
As for the final result.
Before the awards are announced at the end of April, if they enter the nomination stage, the animation production teams of ten works will be selected to enter the nomination and invited to participate in the show activities. In the final evaluation, only the top three will be selected from the ten nominated animations. Trophies are awarded as Gold, Silver and Bronze awards.
It is worth mentioning that the selection of the Best TV Animation Award and the Best Animated Film Award are both organized by the same organizer. After all, they are activities in the animation industry. The award unveiling party is also on the same day. ♦♦ ♦♦
In fact, the selection of the four awards does not require Xia Yan to spend too much energy on it.
The only thing that needs attention is the selection of the Dragon Yin Comic Award.
Initial D is now listed on the official website of the event, and a large number of comic fans pour in to vote for Initial D every day.
Although the audience vote cannot be used as the final result, only the top 30 works with the most votes will be sent to the second round of judges' selection.
But Initial D’s 12 million votes were more than three times the number of votes cast by the second place on the entire network.
In fact, the results of this award selection have been basically revealed.
No matter how clever the judges in the second round are, they cannot ignore the more than three times difference in fan base and forcibly award the award to the second or even one less popular entry.
The situation of Initial D is also the same in the selection of the Emperor Star Award in the novel industry.
For these two awards, they select the best novels of the year. Please note that the comics are selected for the best novels of the year.
Normally, this kind of work that is less than a year old would not be so popular.
But Initial D and Sword Art Online are too exaggerated.
These two most popular works published by Beizhou Comics Society and Liuli Publishing House were included in the evaluation of this award.
Just like in the comics industry of the parallel world island country, One Piece went to participate in the Tezuka Award selection. It was really a fish fry. Which work can compete with a popular work like One Piece?
But this kind of funny thing happens in the world of Longguo novels and comics.
Xia Yan's fans are now looking at the official websites of these award selection events on the Internet, just waiting for the awards show a month later to rectify Xia Yan's name.
"Speaking of which, the Dragon Song Awards will be announced on April 10th, right?"
"The Dragon Song Award is April 15th, right."
"The Longyin Award is on April 15th, the Imperial Star Award is on April 22nd, the Best TV Animation and the Best Animated Movie are on April 29th, and they all start at 8:30 pm on Wednesday night. The TV broadcasts are all in the Imperial City TV1. Do you still need to talk about this?”
"After all, the time varies every year, so ask. Haha."
"Anyway, in the selection of Dragon Yin Award and Emperor Star Award, I feel that Initial D and Sword Art Online are basically a sure winner. Although there are several good new works in the comics and novel circles, for example, Song Lingjun's The Ultimate is also very good, but it is not as good as Initial D, compared to works like Sword Art Online, there is still a gap! It is the best animated film award. It depends on whether the science fiction romance film "To the Moon" or the otherworld fantasy film "Winter" wins. "
"Winter Fury actually has great advantages. Although its reputation is not as good as To the Moon, a movie, especially an animated movie, does not all depend on the script. Winter Fury has an investment of 1.3 billion and a total box office of 1 billion 20 million, the investment in Going to the Moon is only 30 million, and the total box office is 780 million. The gap in box office is not too big. In terms of ratings, Winter Fury also has an overall network rating of 8.0, but the production scenes, pictures, and special effects are above Winter. Angry is much better than going to the moon. I can only say that this year’s 2D award is a big one, but I’m not sure about the Best Animated Film Award.”
"Anyway, it depends on how the judges weigh the plot advantages of Going to the Moon and the production visuals of Winter's Fury, as well as the technical advantages."
"Anyway, the most stable work is Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It is more stable than Initial D and Sword Art Online. If Puella Magi Madoka Magica did not win the first place gold medal, the ancestral graves of the judges of the organizing committee would probably be filled with angry Madoka Magica fans. Open."

"But let me tell you something. The Best TV Animation Award and the Best Animated Film Award are from the same organizing committee, and they are also awarded on the same day, so do we have a chance to see Mr. Yuanqing and the Warrior of Love? The teacher is on the same stage?”
"It shouldn't be possible to be on the same stage, but after all, they are performing at the same award show, so it is possible to meet each other."
"Then I'm looking forward to it. I hope that the organizer will arrange the two people's positions together by then. I want to take a closer look to see if there will be tension between the two when they meet."
"It should be okay. One is mainly engaged in graphic novels, and the other is mainly engaged in TV animation. Their competitive fields are not so overlapping. It's just that we fans have been putting opposing filters on the two."
"Don't be stupid, how can there be no competition in the two-dimensional industry? Initial D and Sword Art Online have already been announced for animation. Once the two animations are aired, look at the fans of Mr. Genkii and Mr. Love Warrior Will fans tear each other apart? The 2D industry is a big industry, and excellent works from different tracks will eventually be brought together to compete on the same stage in the animation field through adaptation and other methods. "
“It’s true”
"Besides, the market for peripheral fields such as clothing, figures, animation props, etc. is also limited. Fans only have so much money in their pockets. For peripheral products in comics, novels, animations, games, etc., most ordinary people can only buy the best ones. , I won’t buy them all. Just like Magic Circle, I also like Asuna, but if the two works are available, I will definitely only buy Asuna because that’s all I have for my pocket money.”
In March, with the start of several award selection activities, the attention of fans of the Dragon Kingdom two-dimensional industry has shifted.
At this time, one month after the first volume of the Sword Art Online novel was released.
Its sales were fixed at 14 million copies.
At the same time, the fourth volume of the Initial D comic was also released.
Sales reached a new high in the first week, reaching a terrifying figure of 6.17 million copies.
Whether it is Sword Art Online or Initial D, it has been serialized for several months and half a year. With the increase in the length of the works and the release of single volumes, there are faint signs of continued growth in popularity.
Both works are now firmly at the top of the list of the most popular serials in their respective serials, far behind the second place.
And wait until the time comes to late March.
Xia Yan and the entire Xia Tang Animation Company under his command became slightly nervous.
Xia Yan stays in the company as long as he has nothing to do. After all, many people in the company come to discuss the GG implantation or other cooperation matters that I will wait for you in seven years.
Tang Yin is fully assisting Xia Yan in the production, sales, peripheral design, sales, channels, and licensing cooperation with some overseas companies for the animation BD I'll Be Waiting for You in Seven Years.
After all, the reputation of Love Warrior is there, and even one episode of this animation has not been aired. However, many companies have shown great interest in this work and want to take the lead and cooperate with Xia Tang Animation Company.
And in late March, Xia Yan not only had to prepare for the broadcast of the animation "I Will Wait for You in Seven Years", but also had to prepare for the Emperor Star Award, Dragon Song Award, Best TV Animation Award and Best TV Animation Award starting from mid-April. For the awarding event of the four Animation Film Awards, we will cooperate with the event organizer to shoot a personal mv video.
At the same time, we have to cooperate with the work promotion work of Beizhou Comics Club and Liuli Book Club.
The whole person was extremely busy.
Soon it was the end of March.
Didu TV has already started GG’s live awards event to promote the four major 2D awards one month in advance.
As for the Magic City TV station, as the most outstanding commercial TV station in the Dragon Kingdom, it does not have so much official background, and it does not need to host live broadcast activities with such awards and other awards. At the end of March, in addition to promoting some of the programs broadcast by its own station in the summer quarter, Except for TV series.
I will be waiting for your animation promotion in seven years, which is also the top priority of the TV station.
In the summer animation market, there are 78 works in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.
Among them, a TV animation with an investment of over 100 million is an adaptation of the well-known game "Sky".
An original fantasy adventure animation "Spiritual Flame" with over 80 million.
Six animation works worth 50 million, and 21 works worth 30 million.
From an investment perspective alone, "I'll be waiting for you in seven years!" is extremely weak among these powerful enemies.
But in fact, there are a lot of commentators in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, including 60 to 70% of the people on major animation websites.
Everyone is optimistic that I will wait for you to win the summer animation ratings championship in seven years.
Even though the production teams of the two animations of Sky and Spirit Flame are extremely luxurious, compared with the previous results of Magic Circle, they are still not good enough.
There is no way, Puella Magi Madoka Magica Yu Weihai is here, and as long as half of Madoka Magica fans are willing to continue to support the new animation of Love Warrior, then this animation will definitely have a hegemonic existence in this summer animation schedule.
Although the game "I'll be waiting for you in seven years!" is not particularly famous in the parallel world due to its poor quality pixel game style, in the Dragon Kingdom
Its animated adaptation has a very famous creator. "Soldier of Love" provided it with sufficient attention and traffic.
Under the fierce promotion of this animation broadcast by Modu TV1,
March ends and April comes.
