Chapter 324 Storm

This meeting was originally scheduled to last only two hours, but it was delayed for more than an hour because of the heated arguments on the spot.

The group of people in Xia Yan's company were previously recruited from major animation production companies in Longguo.

Everyone was basically in a state of dissatisfaction. In the past, the company had few projects, basically only one or two, and there was nothing to argue about. They just did what they were assigned to do and performed their duties.

But once there was a choice, there were definitely more ideas.

Apart from works like Pokémon and Doraemon, which the boss had many ideas about, but the employees were basically unwilling to touch because of the high uncertainty, the other four works

In fact, everyone was confused.

They were all Xia Yan's works. Which one was better and which one was worse was just a little bit difficult to see in the planning stage.

But the detailed works were in the script, and Xia Yan hadn't brought them out yet, so in fact, the whole meeting was a process of self-recommendation by these middle and senior management of the company at the end.

Their previous work experience, what type of works they were suitable for, and what outstanding historical achievements they had were basically displayed and leaned towards the types of the four new works of Xia Yan.

In the afternoon, Xia Yan also dismissed the meeting with a headache.

Then the next day, the day after.

There was still no clear result in the discussion about related matters.

However,

the news that Chairman Xia Yan had produced five or six works spread throughout the company in these two days.

Everyone in the company was still dealing with their daily work on the surface, but in fact, everyone's mind was on the content of the meeting held by Xia Yan.

I hope that my superiors can help my team find a good project.

Moreover, Xia Tang Animation now has a scale of hundreds of people in the entire company, and it is impossible to hide any project activities of the company in the industry.

After all, these hundreds of people in the company were once the backbone of talents of other animation companies in Longguo, and their industry connections are all over Longguo.

Two days later,

these news media in Longguo could no longer sit still.

In the two-dimensional forums in Longguo, the first place on the hot search list on the website was occupied by a piece of news on this day.

[Xia Yan will have six new works coming out soon]

Xia Yan

Six new works?

It was just a short hot search term, consisting of a few words, but it attracted everyone's attention.

On the same day, the forum started arguing.

"Six new works? Did you hear that correctly?"

"I heard that it is still in the planning stage, and Xia Tangfu Animation has held five or six meetings in a week to determine the number of members for each project team."

"This sounds fake, right? Isn't Xia Yan still responsible for the creation of Sword Art Online and Hunter x Hunter? Six new works again? Even if he is a cow, he will be exhausted, right?"

"I heard that Lao Ze is only responsible for the script creation of these works, and will not be responsible for supervision, review, storyboard and other details like before.

"Even if he is only responsible for the script, it is outrageous."

"The script of an episode of animation actually has little content. The workload of writing a script for a single episode is probably about the same as writing two college entrance examination essays. For a two-hour movie, the script is only tens of thousands of words, but animation scripts often need to be combined with animation storyboards. This can be done by asking assistants to cooperate when writing the script, and letting assistants work according to their own requirements to help save time. Some big cartoonists in Longguo and animation screenwriters do this in their studio assembly lines. Even some long-form comic writers even have their assistants come up with the script content, and they are only responsible for reviewing and listing. But with Lao Zei's personality, he certainly can't do this, and there are no assistants in Longguo who can come up with a plot that meets his level. "

"So Lao Zei's physical workload of simply compiling the script may not be too much, the key is whether his brain can withstand the creation of so many scripts, right?"

"That's right, writing scripts and some text creation work is okay, but thinking about the script content is the most difficult. I can only say that Lao Zei is really a god, six works. He is really awesome."

"I feel a little bit problematic. Will Lao Zei's doing this lead to a decline in the quality of his new work?"

"Who knows about this kind of thing? Anyway, Sword Art Online? Hunter, Lelouch, and other three works were serialized at the same time, but the quality of Lao Zei's creation did not decline. "

"I have a friend who works at Xia Tang Animation. I heard that only four of the six works are serialized animations as we imagined. The other two works are a bit like conceptual works, creating IP images. Make games, novels, comics, animations, and then go to comic exhibitions and animation exhibitions to show your presence, fight GG, and do joint promotions with amusement parks, and finally incubate IPs. "

"Like the anime mascots of the world's top sports games?"

"It's similar."

"Then Lao Zei actually has four plot-oriented works."

"That's enough. Believe me, if you enter the animation screenwriter industry and ask you to think of a script for an episode of animation every week, you will be so stressed that you can't sleep at night and lose your hair to barely complete it. Four works. Haha, Lao Zei is not human. "

The rumor spread like wildfire from Xia Tang Animation Company to the entire Dragon Country two-dimensional industry.

Xia Yan naturally noticed these things on the Internet, but he was too lazy to care.

Just treat it as free publicity.

Of course, he also knew that it was a bit outrageous for him to produce so many works at the same time. Would people question whether he was cheating?

But when he thought about the fact that no one questioned a powerful man like Osamu Tezuka in the parallel world, Xia Yan was relieved.

After all, Osamu Tezuka is a fierce man who can serialize more than a dozen works at the same time in the parallel world island country comics, and he has created a total of 600 to 700 works of various sizes in his lifetime.

He is the god of comics in the parallel world island country, and he is also the liver emperor of the island country comics.

Compared with him, Xia Yan can only be said to be basic operation.

After more than a week of discussion, Xia Yan has basically determined the development direction of several works.

For classics like Slam Dunk, the early plots depicting the protagonist Sakuragi Hanamichi fighting should be appropriately reduced, but it should not affect the characterization of the characters too much.

As for the production funds of the four works.

Xia Yan can only say that he has money now, and the budget will definitely be given according to the highest standards.

Tengen Toppa, Slam Dunk, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Monogatari series are all popular in the parallel world island country two-dimensional world.

Let’s not talk about Fullmetal Alchemist and Slam Dunk, their influence is even greater than Lelouch of Magic.

Although the Monogatari series and Tengen Toppa are not as good as Lelouch of Magic, they are also the top works below them.

Although Xia Yan took them out at the same time, he would never be careless in production.

And Pokemon and Doraemon, such world-class IPs, are not hatched in a day or two. Xia Yan also has patience. It is nothing more than continuous investment.

A few days passed.

Hundreds of good people in the company were assigned to appropriate project teams roughly according to their respective abilities and job levels under Xia Yan's actions of holding two meetings a day.

At this moment, the production of Lelouch and the company's two original animations this quarter has been completely completed.

After Xia Yan called all the dozen people in the company's screenwriter department to his office to assist him in writing several new scripts for his works.

Soon

The guys at Xia Tang Animation found new goals and jobs.

And during this period

Sword Art Online Animation Season 1.

The latest episode ratings have quietly reached 5.94%

After all, it is adapted from a popular light novel, and the relaxed plot style of Sword Art Online is suitable for men, women, young and old, and it still has many advantages in attracting passers-by fans compared to Lelouch at the beginning.

Thanks to the popularity of the animation, the sales of Sword Art Online single volumes are also sold out.

Single volumes can sell 20 to 30 million copies a month, and the sales last month are more than the sum of the second to fifth.

Thanks to this, the average sales of Sword Art Online single volumes have officially exceeded 27 million, and the average sales of Dragon Country light novel single volumes have officially reached the 27 million mark.

As for the Sky Arena Tower chapter of Hunter x Hunter comics, the plot has also entered a climax.

The revelation of the ability of mind, the growth of Xiaojie and Killua.

And during the Hunter exam, Hisoka ignored Xiaojie's dignity and let him go when he could kill Xiaojie, and also mocked Xiaojie that if he was not convinced, he would give him a hard punch in the face one day.

In the competition in the competition tower, Xiaojie counterattacked Hisoka in the latest plot.

Although Xiaojie still lost this competition, but.

The audience was happy to watch!

The controversy caused by the intrusion of the ability of mind in the comic community a few months ago has now disappeared.

When fans mention the setting of the ability to read, they often add a sentence "This is the most genius setting in the old thief's work!"

Similarly, the sales of the comic single volume of Hunter x Hunter have also ushered in a surge since January.

The average sales volume is now more than 24 million, ranking fourth in the history of single volume sales.

While Hunter and Sword Art Online are expanding the influence and popularity of their respective works, the plot of Lelouch Season 2 has finally entered the later stage.

The whole work can truly compete with Lelouch, and even suppress Lelouch. His brother, the second prince Schneizel, finally has more scenes.

And he led the army of the Bnitanian Empire to fight against Lelouch head-on.

In other words, he was not able to compete with Lelouch head-on, but suppressed Lelouch from beginning to end.

In the plot of the 18th episode, when Lelouch and Schneizel led the armies of both sides in a fierce battle.

The foreshadowing in the first season, the genius scientist, Euphemia's number one fan, the corner table girl who has a crush on her savior Euphemia, appears with the weapon she made.

The name of this weapon in the animation is different, but in fact, everyone who watches the animation knows that what the corner table girl studies is actually nuclear weapons.

In the world of Lelouch, the strongest are mechas, bombs and so on, and the existence of this woman directly makes all of Lelouch's strategies empty.

Nuclear weapons are no longer something that human power can resist.

And the power of this weapon is suspected to have affected the area where Lelouch's sister Nunnally is located, which directly caused Lelouch to lose his fighting spirit. When the two armies fought, he had a mental breakdown and didn't want to think about anything. He just wanted his army to help him find his sister.

The plot of the 18th episode of Lelouch

ended in a subtle place.

Moreover, it really whetted the appetite of fans

Is Nunnally dead?

If not dead? Will she become a tool for the Bunitania Empire to threaten Lelouch again?

If he dies, will Lelouch's road to revenge still have meaning?

During this period, the activity of people in the Dragon Country's two-dimensional industry has ushered in a period of increase.

In the fields of novels, comics, and animation, each of their top works has set off a strong wave of enthusiasm among the fan groups.

Xia Yan, almost single-handedly, made the two-dimensional industry, which had shrunk in scale in recent years, recreate the scene of the Dragon Kingdom's golden period more than 20 years ago.

Even looking at Xia Yan's works, the influence of those works from the golden age cannot be compared with Xia Yan's current works.

It's another Sunday.

The Dragon Kingdom Second Dimension Forum became active again.

After the animation "Lelouch" entered the later stages, the appeal of the plot became stronger. Those animation fans who wanted to fatten up the animation and wait until the release of the animated bd to watch it in one sitting couldn't help it anymore and joined the weekly updates. army.

It's just that this week, everyone has been immersed in the news about Xia Yan's six new works, so there are fewer posts on the Internet complaining about Lelouch's plot.

But in the past few days, after the news of Xia Yan's new work subsided, Lelouch's topic discussion volume once again became the first in the animation industry.

afternoon

In the fan forum.

"So, in tonight's plot, will Lelouch go crazy?"

"At the end of episode 18, the fake brother Lolo personally told Lelouch that Nunnally was dead. I feel that Lelouch will definitely not be able to bear it anymore in this episode and will take action against his brother."

"Maybe Luo Luo will be shown his true colors in this episode."

"To be honest, the fake brotherhood between Lelouch and Lolo should come to an end. It's a shame that Lelouch can continue to be played. I feel sick about it."

"After all, Nunnally, as the governor of the island country, was under the surveillance of the Bunitania Empire. In order to protect Nunnally, Lelouch established a good relationship with Lolo and let Lolo be a double agent. Stabilize the Bunitania Empire so that Nunnally can be protected. Now that Nunnally is dead, does Lelouch still need to pretend? "

"I haven't forgotten Charlie's death. This episode of Lelouch should break out quickly and kill Lolo. I've been watching this anime for a month, and this is the plot I'm most looking forward to."

"Do you think it's possible that after Nunnally died, Lelouch immediately became depressed and had a mental breakdown, and in the end Lolo comforted him and pulled him out of the quagmire of despair. In the end, Lelouch forgave Lolo and the two became a real family? "

"If the plot really develops like this, then I will definitely give up on this animation. These two people have become a real family? What about Charlie? Did she die in vain?"

"I will not accept any plot to whitewash Luo Luo. If the old thief wants to create a work like this, I will immediately turn from a fan to a fan."

"Don't worry, didn't the old thief say it in the creator's account before? Luo Luo will be killed in the later plot, allowing fans to vent their hatred. Don't worry about Luo Luo being cleared!"

"However, in the plot of the last episode, the outrageous weapon nuclear bomb appeared, and Lelouch's Black Knights were already on the verge of collapse. How do I feel that in the plot of the second season, Lelouch will repeat the ending of the first season? , ushered in failure? And then. There will be a third season of this animation, and Lelouch will make a comeback for the third time?”

"Well who knows? But wouldn't it be a good thing if there was a third season?"

The day on Sunday ended quickly, and at night

Starting at seven o'clock, the ratings of Modu TV1 have begun to soar.

Even the weather forecast at 7:30 had a ratings of 3.8%, which shows how impatient the animation fans in Dragon Kingdom are at the moment.

After the weather report, there was a twenty-minute TV shopping program, and the shopping items were naturally Lelouch animation peripherals and bds.

Finally, there are only a few minutes left before the broadcast of Lelouch's nineteenth episode.

At this moment, fans who are filled with indignation and looking forward to this episode of animation where Lelouch kills his disgusting younger brother Lolo will have a change in their concept of the character of Lolo.

Twenty minutes left. .
