"Wow……"

On Monday, early in the morning, Qin Ya looked at the newspapers on the table and opened her mouth wide: "This is really an exaggeration!"

Today is the premiere day of a very crucial episode of "The Rebellious Lu Luxiu". Qin Ya originally wanted to see how many media would report on this incident, but even after searching more than a dozen newspapers, she found that all of them were News from The Day You Shot Your Lover.

This song, which was only released on Saturday, is becoming more and more lively day by day. Today's situation is even better than yesterday, and the popularity on the Internet is also full. It's really hard to imagine that this is just a song that was released for two days.

"Princess Qin, have you heard this song too?"

Seeing that Qin Ya cared so much about the newspaper, a painter couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I listened." Qin Ya nodded: "Have you all listened too?"

"Of course." The artist nodded: "Everyone in the department must have heard it. Who sang this song? Sure enough, the real song is different. When I read the score, I never thought that it would be so shocking after being sung !"

Qin Ya deeply agrees with this point. The score of "The Day I Shot My Lover" looks good, but I don't feel the same way after being sung--Shen Jie's singing is really great, but if it wasn't like this Great quality, and it's impossible to blow up.

"Unfortunately, I don't know who the singer is." Qin Ya frowned slightly, and replied, "It might be Shen Jie, but Teacher He Xi didn't tell me...so it might not be her. Do you feel like Shen Jie?"

The painter was stunned. Then he thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I feel that Ms. Shen Jie may sing to this level. But the voice is not the same, the tone and some breathing methods seem to be different..."

After "The Day I Shot Your Lover" came out, too many people suspected that its singer was Shen Jie. However, this time Shen Jie not only changed her voice during singing, but also modified some technical features and details of her own singing, making it impossible for people to judge accurately.

Conjectures about the identity of the singer of "The Day I Shot My Lover" are still vague and unclear, just like the identity of the composer. Perhaps it was for a longer-term hype, and Alice did not let the truth lie in Phoenix. Spread within the company - including Qin Ya. She only knew that the composer was Meng Huo.

"But it looks like this..." The artist suddenly sighed, and said, "The Day You Shot Your Lover is so popular. Maybe it will turn against the customers and depress the people of "Days"."

After this holiday, Qin Ya was also thinking about it,

"The Day You Shot Your Lover" is gaining popularity. Can "days" really beat it after it airs? Although it has the name of an officially designated character song, maybe considering its popularity, Phoenix Company will take the initiative to adjust it in the future and turn "The Day I Shoot Lovers" into an orthodox character song.

This is very likely to happen—after all, Phoenix is ​​also a profitable enterprise and will take care of greater popularity appeals.

However, this incident had little effect on the animation department, Qin Ya shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it, let's start working! No matter how popular "The Day I Shot My Lover" is, it will have a great impact on "Rebellious Luluxiu". It is beneficial!"

Although the morning newspapers didn't seem to be very interested in today's episode of "Lelouch the Rebellion", they reported on "The Day You Shot Your Lover". In fact, it was an indirect advertisement for "The Rebellious Lu Luxiu"——Just thinking about it made Qin Ya feel happy.

"Go to work early and get off work early. Don't miss the airing of "Lelouch the Rebellious" today!" She said with full expectation. Today's animation is the first season of "Lelouch the Rebellious". Zhou's animation ratings will definitely be high.

"Forgive me..." But her words made the artist tremble, and he muttered in his heart: "The plot of this episode is too cruel, I don't want to watch it again."

Then, in the evening. "The Rebellious Lelouch" ushered in the premiere of a crucial episode. As for the effect of this episode of animation, a senior commentator wrote on Weibo: "If I knew in advance that the plot would be so abusive, I wouldn't be sitting by the TV if I was killed!"

Abuse - this is the common view of all viewers who watched this episode of animation. In fact, before this episode of animation, some viewers also guessed that Euphemia would die. As a character of the image of the "Mother", Euphemia's thoughts and concepts are too naive and kind. Under the background of the cruel worldview full of war in "Lelouch of the Rebellion", her ending is mostly death.

However, even though they guessed it, when they witnessed Euphemia's death, these people still burst into tears!

No one thought that Euphemia's death would be so dramatic and heavy—she died by Lelouch's hands, and not in his ordinary state, even when the two were about to shake hands. When making peace, and about to get the perfect peace in Euphemia's mind - she died in a way that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Euphemia invited Lelouch to reconcile. Lelouch had planned to reconcile, but his geass got out of control when it shouldn't be.

"If I say 'kill all the people in District 11', you will do it." This was originally just a joke, but after Geass lost control, it became a fact that Euphemia had to obey.

Euphemia carried out this order, rushed into the venue suddenly, and issued the order to massacre people from '11 districts' in the identity of Princess Britannia. For a while, countless people from '11 districts' died miserably inside and outside the venue. , and Euphemia was also covered in blood—and was killed by Lu Luxiu himself.

No one expected Euphemia's ending to be so tragic. The drama of this process was described to the extreme. The violent conflict between Euphemia's images before and after being affected by geass shocked all the audience.

And the development of the plot of "The Rebellious Lelouch" is even more turbulent because of this. From one step away from peace, it has transformed into a larger-scale war, and the chain of hatred is almost unstoppable.

"Euphemia is the foreshadowing of the story. Her death is inevitable, and her thoughts create her destiny, but..." Bai Yan, who is helping Meng Huo to make "Wine of Eternal Life" in Ninghai, watched this episode of animation. I couldn't help but exclaimed: "I really didn't expect you, Teacher, to let her die like this."

The so-called tragedy is to forcibly destroy the things that people value, and the tragedy created by Meng Huo in the plot of "The Rebellious Lu Luxiu" is simply beautiful in terms of screenwriting skills!

He ruined Euphemia. And not just plain destruction. The kind image of Euphemia completely disappeared in the world of "Rebellious Lelouch" because of this massacre. After her death, she will still not be forgiven, and she will always bear the burden of "executor", "witch", Swearing like 'slaughter princess'.

For a gentle and kind woman to fall to such a state, what is it if it is not a tragedy?

And the entire plot of "Lelouch the Rebellion" was also ruined. When Luluxiu personally killed Euphemia, it is unlikely that there will be peace in this animation. Lelouch will completely oppose Cornelia and Suzaku, and stand completely opposite Britannia. Going deeper and deeper in the vortex of hatred and war.

This is also a tragedy, Lu Luxiu's retreat is cut off - Bai Yan really can't imagine that the protagonist will have a rest day in the future. He has no choice but to fight further.

"Do you think it's a pity?" Meng Huo asked.

"It's a pity, but from a technical point of view, it's really perfect." Bai Yan praised. Judging from the story, Euphemia's death is really sad. But from the perspective of animation technology, this plot is so well done that it even makes her heart itch.

The so-called God's turn is nothing more than that, and what's even more rare is that Euphemia died beyond everyone's expectations when many people guessed that she would die, and this is exactly the plot that every director is pursuing technique.

Bai Yan found that the longer she spent with Meng Huo, the more surprises he brought her.

"But Teacher He Xi..." But she laughed instead, "If you bully the audience like this, they will definitely go crazy!"

She was absolutely right. That night, when Meng Huo browsed the Internet, he could be heard scolding him everywhere on Weibo and forums. Calling him a 'devil' and 'executioner' - it seems that how the people in District 11 in the world of "Rebellious Lelouch" scolded Euphemia, these audiences scolded Meng Huo.

"This retribution came really fast..." Meng Huo looked at a post called "I don't watch He Xi's animation anymore" and thought that there are many such posts on the He Xi's Home Forum, which made him endure. It is a pity that any animation cannot please every audience.

However, after clicking on such a post, Meng Huo quickly couldn't help laughing - because he saw a lot of members who replied I'm complaining.

"If you don't watch it, don't watch it. But the host... I remember you said the same thing when Lockon died in "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". Why are you still watching anime now?"

"The host also watched "5 Centimeters Per Second" last year. At that time, he also swore not to watch animation..."

"Don't make fun of the poster, there is someone out there who said that watching Mr. He Xi's animation in the future is a dog. I remember that person said the same thing when "Magic Girl Madoka" was broadcast, but after so many years It's..."

Meng Huo was amused by these complaints. He took a closer look at the posters who initiated these topics, and found that many people had the same situation—although the animation would hurt these audiences, in fact, it didn't take long for them to start talking again. will run back.

The key is the quality of animation, even if it is a bit cruel, but as long as it looks good, every audience will like it. And besides these posts cursing him, there are also many people supporting him and "Lelouch the Rebellion".

"Let's look at it from another angle. In fact, Euphemia died well. Her death allowed the story to continue. Otherwise, Lelouch would be recruited, and the story would be over—you want to see "Rebellious Lelouch" "Is that the end?"

"Mr. He Xi created an excellent character. Euphemia died beautifully. Such a death can leave the audience with a very complete image. In Lelouch's world, even if Euphemia doesn't die in Lelouch Others would kill her at the hands of others—her ideas are too naive to be tolerated by Britannia."

"Euphemia's death is indeed very beautiful. It draws out Suzaku's role, and also strengthens Lelouch's line. Especially the latter. I think killing Euphemia will affect Lelouch's heart in the future. It will have a positive impact, and it is very likely that he will break away from "little love" and become "big love", and turn revenge into a real guide to the world to peace-it's a bit messy. But in "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" Isn't that exactly how Lockon died?"

"I agree with the opinion above, actually I think Euphemia's role positioning is a bit similar to Lu Luxiu's sister Nunnally, and I am relieved to see Euphemia's death. Both characters have Gentle dreams and expectations for peace. I think they are the guiding characters that make Lelouchi grow from childhood love to great love. If Euphemia does not die, Nunnally will bear similar responsibilities in the future-to be honest, I prefer I don't want to see Nunnally die."

Seeing these comments, Meng Huo sweated a lot. The current audience is really powerful, and many plot developments have been guessed correctly. If some more clues were given, maybe the follow-up of "The Rebellious Lelouchi" would be completely wiped out.

He was a little surprised, but at the same time a little pleasantly surprised. After continuing to read the forum, he fell asleep early.

the next day. It was Tuesday—as expected, "Lelouch the Rebellion" made headlines in the media again. Today's popularity didn't even need to be promoted by Alice. The broadcast effect of the animation alone was enough to scare people.

It's just one night, and Suhua TV's ratings statistics haven't come out yet, but all the reporters are already guessing excitedly—"The Rebellious Lelouchu" will definitely have an average rating of over 50% this week.

Fifty percent of the ratings, a few years ago, that is not a big deal. Because the number of animations was small at that time, and the age of the audience surveyed for animation ratings was relatively narrow, He Xi's animation ratings were generally high.

But today is different. Huaxia broadcasts nearly a hundred animations every week, and the audience has more choices, and in the process of surveying the ratings, the selected audience group is also wider, and the age range is very large-reaching 5%. Ten ratings, it is already a very, very popular animation.

It is only the two super popular animations of Zhongxia Company that can reach this ratings now. Phoenix's "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is only hovering around 50%.

If "The Rebellious Lelouchu" can really achieve this ratings, if the quality is maintained in the future. It was only a matter of time before it overtook Mobile Suit Gundam 00. But the question is - can it really be achieved?

"No problem, it will be fine."

Alice confidently gave Meng Huo affirmation. Although she didn't know why she was so confident, Meng Huo chose to believe that "Lelouch the Rebellious" has become popular today, and Alice must be credited.

Without her publicity and promotion, the number of viewers of "The Rebellious Lelouchi" would not have grown so much in the short term, and it was even more impossible for so many viewers to watch this episode of animation. It is precisely because of the high popularity that the popularity of this episode of "The Rebellious Lelouchu" is particularly good - so good that many excited audiences sent Meng Huo blades.

"It's better for you to bring bodyguards with you recently." Alice giggled after hearing this: "The animation effect is very good. The plot of "Rebellious Lelouch" suddenly became tense and exciting. The ratings will continue to rise - but this episode is dangerous for you personally."

Because in the promotion of "Lelouch of the Rebellion", Alice targeted some people who never watched animations. Her explanation is that it is better to find new audiences than grab other audiences. New audiences tend to have a sense of loyalty. ——Meng Huo Although not very recognized, Alice still succeeded.

The problem is that her success has brought a large number of new audiences who don't know Meng Huo as well as the old audience, and Euphemia's death can easily make these audiences hurt and aggressive action.

But Meng Huo was not too worried: "I will pay attention."

His answer was very plain, so plain that Alice, who was just joking, was a little vigilant: "Don't take it too lightly, as a public figure, it's not surprising that anything happens around you."

"I know." Meng Huo smiled, then shook his head and said, "But really don't worry, I'll be fine, I've experienced it once before, and I won't make a second mistake."

Alice was taken aback, before? She was puzzled at first, and then immediately remembered the incident of Shen Jie's injury - it turned out that Meng Huo had never forgotten it, and judging by his performance, he should not be as careless as he appeared on the surface.

"That's right... that's good..."

For some reason, Alice suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. If Meng Huo cared so much about the past, she would rather he was still so relaxed - because if he didn't relax, it meant that Shen Jie might have locked Meng Huo in his heart all the time.

"Do I really have a chance?" A wave of wavering suddenly flashed in her heart, but it was only for a moment.

She quickly turned her mind to "The Day I Shot My Lover" and "days". With the popularity of "Rebellious Lelouch", the truth of the official character song designated by Euphemia was exposed— — And Alice has to seize the time and use these two songs to further achieve her goals.

Her goal is not only to make these two songs popular at the same time, but also has a longer-term goal—to use the shock and doubt brought by the appearance of "days" to "The Day I Shot My Lover" to become a mysterious newcomer star.

Although this newcomer star will not be of much use at the moment, Alice believes that "it" can transform Meng Huo at a certain period of time. (to be continued)
