Big Manga

"TV Tokyo's ratings have risen again..." Two days after the premiere of the second part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", Dong Ding looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help feeling emotional: "Mr. He Xi will never let us feel at ease."

He Xi once again set off a craze. The premiere of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" brought unimaginable responses. The gorgeous scene battles, brand-new character designs, and consistently excellent music won praise from all audiences.

"Although we have expected that this new animation will not be simple, we still did not expect it to be so successful." In Dong Ding's office, Yang Liang said helplessly: "Gundam animation has already been tagged with He Xi, and others It can't be surpassed."

When the first part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" ended, Zhongxia Company had expected that the popularity of the second part of this animation would soar, but it did not expect the effect of the first part to exceed the expected value-this animation not only Let the audience boil, even the media is also boiling up.

It is estimated that within this week, the enthusiasm for the second part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" will not subside.

"In this situation, should we delay the promotion of "clannad"?" Yang Liang asked again. The popularity of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has affected Zhongxia's plan.

Recently, "clannad" is undoubtedly a popular animation, but among the four animation branch lines, He Xi's two lines are already as popular as Angel's two lines. There is almost no difference in the data between the two parties, but it is foreseeable If it continues like this, Zhongxia Company is likely to fall into a disadvantage.

This is the result they want to avoid, so not long ago, Phoenix Company passed a resolution-to stimulate the ratings of "clannad" of Ninghai TV Station and Hong Kong TV Station to increase through large-scale promotion.

This plan needs to spend a lot of money, and "clannad" is an animation with the label of "He Xi". During the review process of the resolution, there were also fierce quarrels within Zhongxia Company. "clannad" is taken too seriously.

But in the end, the resolution was passed, because everyone saw a lot of positive benefits that "clannad" brought to Angel. The problem of funds is a small matter, but the strength of angels was quickly recognized by the society in "clannad", and the long-term impact of this is very considerable.

In the past, angels were increasingly questioned because of repeated failures, but now the situation is different. People gradually regard angels as people who can fight against He Xi under the "same story". This concept is very transformative, because it will leave an impression in the audience's mind-the pure animation quality, Angel will not lose to He Xi.

Zhongxia Company will also get a lot of benefits because of this, at least it won't be overwhelmed by He Xi.

It's a pity that the second part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is hot now. If "clannad" is promoted under the circumstances that everyone pays attention to "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", the effect will definitely be greatly reduced, and it will even be counterproductive. Effect.

He Xi is the original work of "clannad". Under normal circumstances, Zhongxia Company can also highlight the creators of the animation, while mitigating the signs of the original game. But when He Xi's animation is so popular, no matter what Zhongxia does, the media will easily highlight He Xi, the original work of "clannad" in the report.

Dong Ding also realized this trouble, nodded and said: "Then let's postpone the plan for a while, and wait for the craze of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" to pass." He is also quite helpless, "clannad" is very important to Zhongxia Company , especially if they can beat He Xi in terms of ratings, Angel can get a thorough proof of strength.

However, Jiang Tianshi has not been able to find a way to surpass and distance himself from He Xi's two lines in terms of data. The company can only help him in advertising and publicity, and the effect of advertising is two-way.

"Alas..." Dong Ding sighed softly, and then changed the subject: "By the way, how about Huahuo's new animation?"

"Huahuo?" Yang Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately remembered the animation company in the far east - after the end of "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire", the company changed its name and officially joined Zhongxia Company.

The new name is 'Huahuo', specially customized by Zhongxia Company, but Yang Liang always thinks it is better to call it 'Spark', because the company's logo has become a flower formed of flames.

"You mean "Blood Game"?" Yang Liang frowned and said, "The development of this animation is not very smooth. The cartoonist's character is too arrogant, and he didn't cooperate even after taking the money. Now we have to rely on our invitation. A few writers help round out the story."

"Blood Game", this is the second animation script given by Huahuo after "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire". It's a pity that he is busy with other animations, so this matter is also powerless.

However, the charm of "Bloody Game" is unquestionable. It is precisely because the second animation is so good that Zhongxia Company attaches great importance to that company, and even spends huge sums of money preparing to cultivate a new brand for it. .

However, what makes Yang Liang disgusted is that the source of the "Blood Game" animation script, that is, the author of the original manga is very arrogant. The "Blood Game" he gave is not a finished product. Although it is excellent, it needs to be further improved and processed in order to convert it into a complete animation script.

But it happened to be this task. The author had promised well before, but after taking the money, he suddenly didn't cooperate. After the animation was pushed for nearly a month, Zhongxia Company had no choice but to find some writers. And script writers to help refine the story.

"It's like this again?" Dong Ding frowned, and snorted coldly: "During the production of "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire", he didn't help much, did he?"

Yang Liang nodded: "That's right, I suspect that the cartoonist is a genius who came up with a plan, but he may not have the ability to write a work thoroughly..."

This kind of genius is not uncommon. There are many kinds of literary geniuses, and some of them are people who have very good ideas and have done well in the early stage, but they can’t think of a complete story—Yangliang means, The cartoonist in the Far East is such a genius.

"But there is another possibility, that is, he is not the original author at all, right?" Dong Ding narrowed his eyes and thought that the cartoonist has always made him feel very strange. In fact, he has been looking for "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire". . But after searching for so long, there was still no result, and this possibility gradually faded away.

"The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" is very successful. Although the popularity is far less than that of Phoenix Company and Angel's animation, its broadcast this year has played a very important role in maintaining the stable ratings of Ninghai TV Station, and it also has many supporters. .

This animation has a very special status in Zhongxia Company. It is not an adapted animation, but an original animation. The ratings of an original animation surpassed most of Zhongxia's animation adaptations, which is a pretty good sign.

Zhongxia Company wants to cultivate the brand of original animation and attract more original authors. In fact, it cannot do this, and it is difficult for them to defeat He Xi. The current adapted animation has proved that the adapted story is better than He Xi. impossible.

So Dong Ding attaches great importance to Huahuo Company, and tolerates the arrogance of cartoonists as much as possible. Geniuses-geniuses always have various tempers, and it is relatively rare to see such a talkative person like He Xi.

""The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" is so successful, if there are other authors, he should have come out sooner..." Dong Ding thought to himself, he really hoped that "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" had other authors, but this possibility is currently too far away. Low.

You can still watch "Blood Game" after it airs. If no one protests, it probably isn't someone else's work.

"Forget about that cartoonist." Dong Ding raised his head and said to Yang Liang: "You ask the writers to work harder to perfect the script early, try to finish it before the year before, and make the premiere of "Blood Game" after the year, I have a bad feeling premonition..."

He paused, and then said: "If we can't launch a good enough animation in the next year, without "Little Fairies" sitting on Ninghai TV Station, Phoenix Company will completely leave us behind. Teacher He Xi won't sit down." Wait for us."

Yang Liang couldn't help taking a deep breath, he almost forgot that "Little Fairy" is coming to an end soon, after which Ninghai TV will lose a large number of viewers, and then Phoenix will release new animations.

Although there is "clannad" now that can make Ninghai TV station not too miserable, but under the situation of one decrease and one increase, it is very obvious that Phoenix company will surpass Zhongxia company in animation ratings early next year.

""Blood Game"...can it keep our current audience?" Yang Liang became nervous.

"How is it possible!" Dong Ding's expression turned cold: "Although "Blood Game" is good, it is nothing more than a dream to let it compete with Teacher He Xi. Its function is to brake and let us keep our vitality."

He is not very optimistic about the situation next year. Even if "Blood Game" comes out, Phoenix Company will still surpass Zhongxia Company, but at least Zhongxia Company will not fall into an irreversible situation.

"We still have a chance next year..." Dong Ding said, superficially to appease Yangliang, but in essence there is another meaning. Dong Ding is very clear that time is not on Zhongxia Company's side. If Zhongxia Company fails to turn around by the end of next year, they will not have another chance next year.

After several years of continuous competition, the wings of the Phoenix Company are growing. Next year will be the time for it to take off and surpass. Once Zhongxia Company fails to grasp those wings, it will have to stand in its shadow and look up to the Phoenix in the future. For the outcome of this possibility, Dong Ding must also make adequate preparations. R1152
