Chapter 320: End of the Year and Challenges

Strictly speaking, if a female supporting character can give up the hatred of the man who indirectly caused her father's death for love, then she will definitely be criticized by the animation audience.

But the plot about Shirley progressed too quickly, so the fans of Longguo quickly ignored the inappropriateness of Shirley's setting.

Moreover, they were completely immersed in this plot.

[I like Lelouch. I still can't hate you even though I know you involved my father in that incident! ]

If Shirley said this to Lelouch in a normal state, her black fans would definitely increase exponentially after this episode was broadcast.

However, at this moment, Shirley in the animation has almost run out of blood, her face is pale, and in her eyes, there is only relief for seeing Lelouch at the last moment of her life.

[Lelouch, you made me forget everything at the beginning, but I still fell in love with you again]

[No matter how many times, I will still fall in love with you. This is the so-called fate. So, it's okay. Even if I am reborn, I will still fall in love with you no matter how many times]

Shirley's last voice was extremely weak.

The dark and cold man Lelouch also shed tears at this moment, and kept using his geass ability to try to order Shirley not to die!

Shirley's hand fell weakly.

The animation scene that was silent for several seconds shaped this sense of tragedy to the highest level.

Tan Wenru's eyes were all red at this moment, and crystal tears were rolling in her eyes.

Xia Yan, you old thief, go to hell!

Are you a human? In the first season, you clearly let Shirley forget about Lelouch and kept her away from the dispute surrounding Lelouch. Why do you want her to remember it now?

Tan Wenru's heart was filled with anger after sadness.

What else can this Xia Yan do besides deceiving fans?

What Lelouch's ending is a happy entertainment world reunion?

It's only the thirteenth episode of the second season, and Shirley died?

Can he believe this?

That night, the fans of Lelouch, who had been deceived by Xia Yan many times, once again had a familiar riot.

Shirley's death is the second time in the anime Code Geass that the audience felt heartbroken.

Of course, there are also many people who criticize Shirley's behavior of forgiving Lelouch at the end of her life as being in love.

But most anime viewers are very tolerant of this plot.

Shirley just fell in love with a boy who would make her suffer for the rest of her life, and she also lost her life because of this relationship. Most anime fans would not have the heart to criticize him at this time.

"A moment of silence for Xia Li."

"One of my favorite female characters! The old thief is really, he is so vicious."

"Where is the headquarters of Xia Tang Animation Company? I'm going to block the door of the old thief's company."

"This is too sudden. The first twelve episodes of the second season are all smooth sailing Lelouch and Long Aotian plots! Why did he suddenly kill Xia Li in the thirteenth episode? Is the old thief just killing for the sake of killing?"

"I'm afraid the old thief couldn't find any reason to attack Luo Luo, so he arranged the plot like this.

"Luo Luo, this brother, I felt that he had problems when he appeared in the first episode, but before that I felt sorry for him being deceived by Lelouch, thinking that Lelouch really accepted him as a fake brother, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious and kill Xia Li directly."

"If Luo Luo doesn't die, it will be unforgivable. ”

“I won’t say anything about abandoning the show. Everyone knows Lao Zei’s temper. He doesn’t care about these things. After all, his creator account is now approaching 40 million followers. In fact, there are still a large number of potential fans who are lurking in Longguo and never show up. It’s hard to imagine how many real fans he has. The few who abandoned the show because of the plot are probably not as many as the new fans who joined because of the popularity. But Lao Zei likes to make these plots. I just beg, please, you must smash Lolo to death. ”

“Shirley, my Shirley.”

“You can see the tears. I thought she was in love before. She hesitated between revenge for her father’s murder and love? Now I can only say that I really understand how much she likes Lelouch from this episode.”

“No matter how many times she reincarnates, she will definitely like Lelouch. Lao Zei knows what the tear-jerking plot is for us animation fans. ”

“Smash Lolo.”

“Lao Zei must kill Lolo, otherwise I will turn from a fan to a hater. ”

“Kill Luo Luo.”

This year, the winter season ended just like that. The thirteenth episode of the second season of Code Geass, with a 6.50% audience rating, became the highest-rated single episode of film and television animation in the Dragon Country animation industry this year.

The next day, Xia Yan saw the audience rating data and laughed bitterly with nearly four hundred employees in the company.

How come

It’s still a little short!

The current Xia Tang Animation, Xia Yan’s popularity, and the production and publicity investment in the animation of Code Geass are not comparable to the support for the broadcast of Madoka Magica three years ago.

However.

Madoka Magica’s 6.51% ratings record is like a step away from being touched, but it is always just a little short.

These two or three ten-thousand-point ratings are really harder to cross than a natural chasm.

Although Xia Yan himself knew that in the parallel world, the rebellious Code Geass was indeed slightly inferior to Madoka Magica in terms of animation bd sales and influence.

It’s just that when Madoka Magica was popular, it was also fueled by the rise of the Internet. On the contrary, when Lelouch was popular, the Internet was quite rubbish at that time. It took a long time to watch a video on the Internet, and the subject matter of the video was difficult to spread.

So Xia Yan did not simply measure the strength of the two works by their sales and influence in the parallel world.

In Xia Yan’s eyes, the two works are of the same level.

But in fact, since Lelouch has been serialized to this day, Xia Yan can probably judge that if it weren’t for his identity "Xia Yan", Lelouch’s performance, even at the end, would be a little worse than Madoka Magica.

It’s just now

0.01% difference?

After a little frustration, Xia Yan also began to analyze the fact that Lelouch’s performance surpassed Madoka Magica. ♦♦  ♦♦

With just this little gap, and the animation of Lelouch still has more than ten episodes to be completed, it is definitely surpassed, but I’m afraid I have to wait until the next climax of the plot.

Shaking his head, Xia Yan looked at the overwhelming criticism of the plot of the thirteenth episode of Lelouch last night on the Internet.

Fans also know that Shirley is dead, and Xia Yan will never succumb to the pressure of fans and let Shirley come back to life. Everyone can only collectively target the culprit who killed Shirley.

Lolo

Xia Yan looked at the messages from these fans and sighed.

In the animation of Lelouch, Xia Yan personally feels that there are four major plots that are hard to let go.

The death of Euphemia, the death of Shirley, the death of Lolo, and finally. The death of Lelouch.

All of them are the kind of depressing plots that you can't bear to watch the second time after watching the first time.

Now these fans are clamoring for Xia Yan to kill Lolo quickly, but in fact

If the plot is really serialized to that stage.

They will definitely change their words and criticize themselves as the creator for being ruthless and ungrateful.

Dare not eat Xia Yan thought of this, and his eyes showed thinking.

Instead of waiting for the fans to criticize him at that time, why not.

Block the fans' mouths now?

After the bad taste came up, Xia Yan couldn't stop.

Among the tens of thousands of fan posts on his creator account that criticized the work "Lelouch of the Undying" as a plot avalanche, he found a post with a huge number of replies and likes.

Xia Yan replied to it very wisely.

[According to everyone's request, the subsequent plot will be as everyone wishes. After all, I am not a demon. I will occasionally love my fans. Satisfy everyone's request! "Smiley face expression"]

Not only did Xia Yan reply, but he also gave this post the permission to be pinned for two weeks.

With Xia Yan's current status, he no longer replies to fans on the forum as often as he did in the past two years.

He is too lazy to go to TV shows.

Because it is useless. Rather than saying that he went on TV to give a GG to his work, it is better to say that the TV station asked him to improve the ratings of the station.

The last time he replied to fans' plot messages like this was ten months ago.

Moreover, the content of Xia Yan's reply clearly gave spoilers for the subsequent plot of Lelouch.

This is unprecedented.

Xia Yan will not spoil the plot, and everyone in Dragon Country knows this.

In other words, even if he has spoiled the content of the work, it is a smokescreen, and the purpose is to create a propaganda behavior that contrasts with the plot of the work.

"Old thief, finally know what it means to cherish fans?"

"He really replied to us, is he going to make appropriate changes to the animation of Code Geass according to our fans' opinions?"

"Is Luo Luo really going to kill him? Or will he temporarily change the plot?"

"I don't know, but the big pit in the first season didn't kill Bishan, so it is very likely that Lelouch won't kill Luo Luo."

"Think about those who threaten Lelouch in the first season, Uncle Orange, Uncle Orange's female classmate, Cornelia, and the disgusting king Suzaku, Lelouch let them all go, and Lelouch also let Luo Luo go. I don't dare to be surprised, but since Xia Yan, the old thief, said this, it seems that we can look forward to the subsequent animation plot."

"Haha, the only human words the old thief said this year."

"My heart, which has been depressed all day, is finally better. As long as the old thief kills Luo Luo Arrange his death, and we will still be your loyal fans. "

"I can't wait to see the plot of Lelouch torturing Lolo. Think about it, how will Lolo die?"

"Let him hear Lelouch tell him all the malice in his heart at the end of his life, let him know that the love of his brother is fake and all lies to him, hehe, and then Lelouch will shoot him to death with his own hands."

"Killing is heartbreaking! But I like it. A fake brother is a fake brother. If he is kinder, Lelouch may really accept him from the bottom of his heart. It's a pity that he actually thinks that the real sister Nunnally is a threat, and he also killed Shirley. This is the way to go. "

The author's reply to Xia Yan's pinned post was viewed by more than 6 million fans in the next short day, and nearly 100,000 comments were replied to.

Almost all Lelouch fans transferred their resentment for Shirley's death to Lolo.

Xia Yan was happy.

Hey.

Then when the episode of Lelouch really airs to the point where Lolo dies, you guys should remember your comments and posts now, and don't criticize me again.

Xia Yan saved this post and planned to pin it to the top after that episode airs.

The animation market in December has come to an end with the airing of the 13th episode of Lelouch.

This season, except for the 13 episodes of Lelouch Season 2, all of the anime’s ratings were above 6%.

Among the hundreds of new animations that have been launched, the one with the highest ratings is the new animation "Farewell to You This Summer!" by Longteng Animation Company.

It is adapted from the love comic masterpiece of the same name in Dragon Kingdom, which has sold an average of 18 million copies.

The overall ratings of the entire series, even under Lelouch's suppression, reached an astonishing 4.02%

Well, it can be said that if there was no competition suppressed by Lelouch Season 2, the performance of this animation might be 20% higher than it is now.

But even so, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry can now see that Xia Yan is now the only one in the industry.

Not affected by production companies or publicity.

In the eyes of millions of fans in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, the name Xia Yan carries more weight than the three major animation production companies.

As long as Xia Yan doesn't rush to the street three or five times and wear away the fans' confidence in him, then Xia Tang Animation with Xia Yan will have a more transcendent status than the three major ones in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

In late December, a number of Dragon Kingdom animation works this season were completed one after another.

At the end of the year, in major variety shows and TV programs, some members of the production team of popular animations also appeared on TV to promote their animation works and prepare for the animation BD sales that will start in January.

However, in the past, Xia Yan was often a guest of the top three TV stations in Dragon Kingdom. Now, Xia Yan directly rejected these invitations.

I devoted myself entirely to my graduation project.

Because of Xia Yan's popularity, Modu University may make it easier for him to a certain extent and not embarrass Xia Yan in his graduation defense.

They also know that for a big entrepreneur and creator like Xia Yan, it is difficult to focus entirely on his studies, and the quality of his graduation project will definitely not be high, but the premise is that Xia Yan's graduation project does not seek excellence, at least The quality can be above the passing line.

But if Xia Yan didn't know what to do, frequently appeared on TV or in publicity activities, and was busy working on his career, instead of taking the production of the school's graduation thesis seriously, and produced some careless and shoddy work, then the school instructor would probably be hard-pressed to give Xia Yan this face.

However, the relevant personnel under the company are very cooperative. The production team, director team, and voice actors, without Xia Yan standing by to steal attention, seem familiar to many animation fans in Dragon Kingdom.

And wait until the end of December

It’s another round of Dragon Kingdom’s promotion for the new animation series in January.

only.

In the new spring schedule.

The rebellious Lelouch finally faced his biggest challenge since it aired.

Even all the employees of Xia Tang Animation Production Company were awestruck.

Don't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

In January, it goes without saying that the second half of Lelouch Season 2 will premiere smoothly.

But also in January, another blockbuster animated masterpiece.

The first season of the Sword Art Online anime.

After more than a year of planning and preparation at Liuli Bookstore, it was produced by Xianliu Animation, a well-known animation company in Longguo.

It will also be officially launched.

Of course, why wouldn’t the three major animation production companies take over such an adaptation project of a light novel masterpiece?

This has to mention Xia Yan’s various shady operations on his works by the three major companies when Magic Circle and Edgewalker were originally broadcast.

Therefore, when Liuli Publishing House was looking for a company to adapt the Sword Art Online animation, the three major animation production companies were voted down by Xia Yan and were not considered. Even if Xia Yan did not earn the money, he would not be able to finance it.

As for why it wasn’t Xia Yan’s Xia Tang Animation that took over?

Because the interests of Liuli Publishing House were not well balanced, the publishing house's senior management probably had some kind of py deal with Xianliu Animation, and Xia Yan was too lazy to get involved. Moreover, Xia Tang Animation itself was short of manpower at the time, which was a critical period for Lelouch animation production.

And although these works are Xia Yan's original creations, the market cannot be established by Xia Yan alone. He feels that the works he creates always want to eat the meat for himself and not feed others.

After Xia Yan thought about it.

Naturally, the animation production of Sword Art Online was given to Senryu Animation, one of the top ten animation production companies in the Dragon Kingdom.

So in the last few days of December, a strange and funny scene occurred in the Dragon Kingdom Animation Market.

When the Lelouch anime was aired before, fans of Sword Art Online and fans of the Lelouch anime were close to each other.

And now, Sword Art Online novel fans have finally officially declared war on Lelouch fans.

Each other is the biggest competitor for the spring animation schedule.
