Game manufacturers have begun to disillusion with the 18-ban version. This is a revolution. The script of text adventure games has become their new focus. Some game manufacturers have begun to recruit script writers.

The second set of collection packs released by Longquan Company was also sold out within a day, and the enthusiasm for buying "clannad" has not subsided.

Since this game started to be reported, its influence has grown rapidly like a snowball. More and more news appeared, more and more people knew about it, and it even became popular in other circles. There was even a comparison between "clannad" and a romance TV series on Weibo. While the plot of "clannad" was addictive, netizens also circulated a joke:

"Brother. Is your wife still watching romance dramas? She's too out, buy a copy of "clannad" and go home, and tell her what real romance is." Although it was just a joke among netizens, this sentence But it has been reprinted and quoted by hundreds of thousands of people.

And adapted into various versions such as "mother" and "sister", it seems to have become a buzzword.

"clannad" is more and more known, and it is affected by this incident. The top three seiyuu at He Xi's celebration became popular all at once.

Among the three voice actors, the male voice actor is in charge of dubbing the protagonist of "clannad", while Long Xue is in charge of dubbing Qin Mei. The performance of the two of them is very good and they are highly praised by the players. But the biggest beneficiary is Xia Chuanzhen, and the role she is in charge of is the well-deserved heroine of after and story. It is also the voice of the players' favorite character - Xi.

Although it is the first time to work as a voice actor, Xia Chuan really relied on the charm of the character Xi to quickly increase his popularity, and even showed signs of surpassing Long Xue. Moreover, she was also responsible for the dubbing of many songs of "clannad", and the ending song "Little Palm" in the finale was considered a divine comedy by countless people.

"Little Palm" is the most tear-jerking song in the game. Its melody is soft and simple, and its lyrics are warm and sincere. Although He Xi didn't specify who this song was written for, the players all regarded it as the representative song of the Xi and as lines. Its lyrics describe many unforgettable stories of the game, without any gorgeous extra arrangements. And there is a line in it "...a small hand, but it also contains... a strength that surpasses you and me...", which was commented by some netizens as the most tear-inducing lyrics.

This line of lyrics is located in the "gaochao" stage of the song. Whenever they hear this line, people who have played the game will think of Xi's strength in the painful fate. Moving features. Once remembering Xi's experience in accordance with the lyrics, few people can not cry.

Relying on the song "Little Palm", Xia Chuanzhen also set a record in the extreme east that made hundreds of audiences cry at the same time. Her popularity spread from the extreme east, and there are more and more people in the Chinese mainland. people pay attention to her.

"She and He Xi are simply a pair of golden partners" - He Lin, a well-known musician, commented on Xia Chuan in this way after careful research. The reason why this girl can sing such a moving voice is true. The main reason is that her voice fits perfectly with He Xi's composition style. She doesn't quite fit the characteristics of China's popular style, and He Xi's composing style is also different from the popular style. After the two cooperate, they can produce amazing effects. They are a well-deserved golden partner.

However, this golden partner has not yet been approved by more people. Meng Huo, the person involved, didn't even know that Xia Chuan's popularity had risen rapidly. Or it should be said that his eyes have been obscured by the copyright adaptation of "clannad", and he has no time to pay attention to Xia Chuanzhen who is riding the wind behind it.

In fact, as "clannad" has been noticed by more and more people, invitations for its copyright have been continuously flowing. Several animation production companies, comic companies, film companies, as well as some novel publishing houses and writers have passed on the idea of ​​adapting "clannad" to Meng Huo.

Clannad's story is clear, touching, and easy to adapt, making it a perfect fit for other genres. However, there are too many people who sent invitations. Famous TV stations including CCTV, Zhongxia Company, Longteng Novel, well-known Huaxia directors, Phoenix Company's comic editorial department, etc., have all been very active...

Everyone has selfish intentions. Meng Huo first left the comic adaptation rights of "clannad" to Phoenix Company. This game is originally in the form of comics, so adapting comics is very simple. As long as a few cartoonists copy the plot of the game slowly, of course such a simple job should be left in the hands of the company.

But for things like animation, novels, live-action movies and TV series, Phoenix Company is really powerless. Live-action movies and TV series can be rejected. Meng Huo left a shadow in his heart in his previous life. He thinks that the live-action version of "clannad" will destroy his three views. So the chances of live-action movies and TV series are ruled out, leaving only adaptations of animation and novels...

Animation, although Phoenix Company also has an animation department, but it is already a heavy workload and cannot support the animation development of "clannad". Meng Huo didn't consider doing it himself for the time being.

"If you don't do it yourself, it's better to give the animation to Zhongxia Company or CCTV..."

Meng Huo thought for a while, he couldn't miss the moment when "clannad" became popular. If animation was announced, the game and various income of "clannad" would increase. Moreover, the invitation proposed by Zhongxia and CCTV this time is very attractive. They just bought out the animation adaptation at a high price, and the copyright of peripherals and other derivative products is still in Meng Huo's hands.

Compared with peripheral items, Meng Huo didn't care how much money he could receive from the TV station. After deliberation, he finally chose Zhongxia Company. Anyway, no matter how well Zhongxia does, it is only an advertisement for "clannad". Meng Huo thinks this is an opportunity to make friends with Zhongxia. He hopes that in the next few years, he can spend a honeymoon period with Zhongxia and reduce friction.

This is not because of fear and dread, but for better development. The comic industry is developing too fast. If Phoenix Company and Zhongxia Company continue to compete, they will be injured, and other comic companies will take advantage of it. This is not what Meng Huo wants to see. He would rather fight Zhongxia in a few years than lose the opportunity to expand the market quickly.

"Okay, so it's decided."

After Meng Huo made a decision, he immediately replied to CCTV and Zhongxia. CCTV seemed a little unhappy, but this time they didn't pick a problem and accepted it silently. Zhongxia's reaction was very intense. Ding Yanghua even called Meng Huo himself to thank him, and then he and Meng Huo gave blessings for harmonious coexistence in the future.

Meng Huo was very satisfied with the chairman's reaction, but soon he met an even more irritating person, Li Ming, editor-in-chief of Longteng Novels.

In order to obtain the right to adapt the novel of "clannad", Li Ming brought a beautiful writer to the extreme east. Meng Huo was very surprised. After seeing each other for two years, the editor-in-chief of this novel became more and more polite. He warmly welcomed the two, and Meng Huo didn't want to miss the opportunity to adapt the novel. Scripts and novels are two different things. Scripts focus on dialogue. But novels are more demanding, and the amount of text is at least three or four times that of game scripts—Meng Huo is exhausted writing scripts, he doesn't want to write another novel with the same plot, and wants to make "clannad" a tearjerker A well-written story also requires a very delicate and beautiful writing style.

Meng Huo didn't have the confidence in this aspect. He talked with the beautiful writer and read her works at the same time. This is an outstanding romance writer with a very delicate style and impeccable elegance, so he agreed on the spot. down.

So after the game, "clannad" announced the news of the simultaneous adaptation of animation and novels. As soon as the news came out, the media and readers were overjoyed, and the sales of the game set off another frenzy. Its buying spree didn't end until near the Chinese New Year, and by this time, the total sales volume had exceeded 1.5 million.

The 1.5 million sales of the text adventure game, the media shouted that it was incredible, but the game manufacturers were so excited that it was hard to describe.

"Teacher He Xi is really my beacon!"

"His game has doubled the market, and future text adventure games will make more money!"

"Hurry up and recruit writers, we need writers!"

After becoming a cartoonist, He Xi changed the fate of many writers again. His reputation keeps pace with the times, and the two companies of Longquan and Fenghuang also have a good harvest.

In the sound of joy and blessings, December passed and the Spring Festival is coming.
