Big Manga

At seven o'clock in the morning, a cold mist filled the streets.

On the streets of Ninghai, Zhang Feng, a poster poster of the advertising company, skillfully tore off the posters on the wall, and then shouted to the colleagues below: "Xiao Li, hurry up, haven't you found that poster yet?"

A young man was squatting on the ground. After finally finding out the corresponding number among the stacked posters, he was surprised: "Brother Feng, is this poster a mistake!? "fate/", This name is wrong!"

"That's right, it's "fate/"!" Zhang Feng shivered as he was blown by the wind, and said, "Get it up quickly, I'm freezing to death."

"Don't lie to me, it's obviously the animated poster of "fate/stay,", how could it become "fate/"?"

The young man was full of suspicion, and Zhang Feng became a little impatient: "Idiot, this is the previous work! You can't read the words on the poster!"

"Huh? The previous work?" The young man looked down and found the words ""fate/stay," the previous work" on the poster. His eyes widened in surprise: "Really...It turned out to be the previous work, and there was no such thing as before. heard about it."

"Don't talk nonsense! It's very cold up there, I don't want to catch a cold! Get the poster up!"

Zhang Feng yelled angrily, and the young man immediately handed over the poster. On the side of the street, a car passed by quickly, and the passengers inside happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have to work so early, and the work of putting up posters is not easy."

"It's not easy for us..." Guo Letong closed the newspaper he just bought, glanced at the posters on the street outside, and said, "The animation of "fate/stay" has been in production for a month, but the premiere still hasn't been produced."

"fate/stay," is a new animation jointly produced by Phoenix Company and Zhongxia Company after "ad". Adapted from the game of the same name. Encouraged by the success of "ad", the production enthusiasm of "fate/stay," is very high, and now the first two episodes of several branches have been produced and the latest chapter of Ten Tribulations Sanxian has been completed.

The broadcast of animation is also close at hand. However, until now, the specific distribution plan of the TV station is still a problem-Guo Letong received an invitation from Qinglong Studio. I will go to Suhua today to discuss the distribution of animation premiere rights.

"Today will definitely be a tough battle..." Guo Letong sighed in the car. Besides him, there are three other TV stations who will also send directors or representatives to participate. In fact, the benefits of different sub-lines of "ad" are very different, and a good sub-line plot can also significantly increase the ratings, and the four TV stations will not give in half a point.

"Minister, don't worry.

"Another person in the car, Guo Letong's assistant, comforted: "There are three stories in "fate/stay," and only one hf line is relatively poor. Our TV station will never get this line ... There is a "fate/". Things are already much better than last month. "

"fate/" - this is a new line added by He Xi during the production of "fate/stay,". Except for Saber and Gilgamesh, the characters on the stage are different from those in "fate/stay," and tell the story of the fourth Holy Grail War.

The emergence of this story is the most surprising and gratifying thing in the animation process of "fate/stay," and the reason for making this story is mainly because four TV stations competed for three story lines a month ago The reason why no one wants to give up.

Another reason is that the original game only has three storylines, while Qinglong Studio has four animation teams. For the sake of balance, it is better to produce animations with four different routes.

But no one expected that Meng Huo would come up with the script of "fate/". They were all taken aback at the beginning, and Meng Huo could only explain to them that he had prepared the script of this 'previous work' very early, and completed it shortly after the game was released.

Think about it. Guo Letong also seemed very reassured: "Choose four out of four, and you will never fail. Teacher He Xi has done a very thoughtful job on this matter."

"And the ratings of "fate/" will definitely not be lower than the other three branches." The assistant said that since the news of "fate/" was announced, the expectations of the media and audiences have been placed on it. What kind of story to tell has become the focus of discussion.

"Minister, do you know about a rumor recently?"

"What rumor?"

"Ms. He Xi is using "fate/stay," to create a bigger world view!"

"Ah, this." Guo Letong nodded: "I heard about this a few years ago."

He still vaguely remembers that when the game "fate/stay," was first launched, He Xi mentioned the origin of the name "fate/stay," in an interview. The "fate" in English means fate, just like its name. He Xi intends to write a series of stories connected by "fate".

At that time, He Xi hinted that the possibility of further expanding the world view of "fate/stay," was not ruled out, but there has been no follow-up development for many years. Over time it was forgotten by fans - until now, when fate/ unexpectedly turned up, the rumor has grown again.

Guo Letong is also very interested in the world view behind "fate/stay," but in his opinion, "fate/" is at best a flash in the pan, at least within a few years, He Xi should not continue to enrich the background behind it. set up.

If you want to say why, the answer is also very simple - because He Xi is too busy. Recently, Guoletong also got news that Phoenix Company has set up a new animation studio. Unfortunately, the existing works will not be replaced until next spring.

"Still the same old workaholic..." Thinking of He Xi, Guo Le Tong's eyes flashed with admiration. No matter how much the world praises He Xi's genius, he will always be the representative of hard work in Guo Le Tong's heart. Xian read the full text.

From the first time he met He Xi to now, that young man has never stopped fighting. When he was a minor at the time, Guo Letong once made Guo Letong worry about being young and vigorous. He would be a fleeting idol, but he didn't expect that the light on He Xi's body would become brighter and brighter after many years.

This is the first time that Guo Letong has seen him grow from a teenager to a young man, from a weak to a strong one. A person whose struggle and self-discipline have never weakened, it seems that just looking at him can make himself full of motivation to move forward.

He Xi has become a symbol of the advancement of comics. Along the way, Guo Letong saw many animated posters waving in the wind—in the past few years, the city of Ninghai seemed to have changed a different color, and pedestrians had become commonplace.

Similar changes are taking place in many cities, and where these changes come from, no one can deny this. Now that no one doubts that He Xi will lead the comics to move forward, the problem is. What kind of future will he bring the comics to—Guo Letong can no longer understand.

At ten o'clock in the morning, outside Qinglong's studio. After Guo Letong and his assistant got out of the car, they found an acquaintance smoking at the door.

"Mr. Sasaki, why don't you go in?" Sasaki, the director of TV TOKYO, is not the first time Guoletong has seen him. This director is very concerned about animation. Every time Phoenix Company releases a new work, Basically, they lead the team in person.

"Huh..." Sasaki exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to Guo Letong, "There is a quarrel inside, I'll come out and be quiet."

"Arguing?" Guo Letong looked shocked. Then I was surprised: "Has everyone arrived?"

"Well, it's just your family that's missing." Sasaki nodded, he understood why Guo Letong was so shocked. Representatives of several TV stations inside, including several of his subordinates, were arguing over the premiere rights of "fate/stay," and Ninghai TV came late.

"The meeting was brought forward? Didn't you say that it will start in the afternoon?" Guo Letong's expression changed drastically, and he hurried to the studio: "You haven't decided yet, have you?"

"Not yet, everyone refuses to give in..." Sasaki took the last puff of his cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can on the side of the road, and walked in behind Guo Letong.

The meeting arranged by Qinglong Studio was indeed held in the afternoon, but in fact, no matter whether it is Angel or He Xi, the two parties actually don't mind the specific allocation of animation premiere rights. If the TV stations can negotiate in advance, there is no need to hold the meeting in the afternoon.

in this case. The three TV stations that arrived early would not wait for the fourth one, they had already started discussing the distribution of benefits - if Guoletong stayed in the evening for half an hour. Maybe the other three companies have negotiated properly and imposed the worst animation on Ninghai TV.

"I don't admit it, we don't want the hf line!" Guo Letong walked into the meeting room. Without waiting for other people to test the pressure on him, he immediately rejected the premiere rights of the HF line-then pulled up his ally, the representative of Xiangjiang TV, and began to quarrel with Su Hua and TV Tokyo.

None of the four TV stations want the HF line of "fate/stay," the full name of this line is 'Like Heaven' (l)—the name reveals a strong sense of evil, and this line reveals the essence of the Holy Grail War Essentially, it’s not heaven—it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s the darkest line in the game. Both the saber and the heroine in this line have been blackened, and the extremely dark plot is like entering hell...

The heroine of the hf line is Sakura, she is the younger sister of the heroine Rin of another line, Sakura's story reflects people's desires, this is the most profound line of the plot, and won the praise of critics and "elites" The favorite, was praised as the performance of the true theme of "fate/stay".

However, animation is not for critics. Facing the vast majority of animation viewers, the plot of the hf line is very heavy, and the heroine Sakura has a lot of dark history, so everyone is unwilling to choose this line.

"This line must have the lowest ratings..." They thought so, no matter what, which line is good, absolutely can't take l.

However, the debate around l is destined to be fruitless, and in the end it is still necessary to compete for the other three lines. Needless to say, "fate/" is the main object of competition, and the other two lines also have their own advantages.

The most popular line in the game "fate/stay," is the saber line, and the heroine of this line, saber, is the most popular heroine in every vote. The saber line describes the love between the hero and saber. Compared with other lines, this line has the most love scenes.

And the heroine Rin of the other d, blade, and lines is not as popular as Saber, but the audience likes it quite a lot. Moreover, the story of ubw is mainly the story of the male protagonist and his future self, telling about his ideal of justice.

This line has the most battle plots. The scene where the two male protagonists project two swords to slash each other is regarded as a classic by many game fans. Unlike the tenderness of the saber line, the ubw line shows the passion - just like the juvenile animation The ratings of general super-burning plots will definitely not be low.

These two lines, one about love and one about ideals, one about tenderness and one about burning, have completely different styles, and the audiences they are facing are also very clear. And "fate/", as the mysterious predecessor of the original work, is an animation that fans of the original work must not miss, let alone the ratings.

Each of the three lines is full of charm, making it difficult for several TV stations to choose.

The conference room was full of sparks, and the debate continued until noon without any result. When Guo Letong came back to his senses, he found that Jiang Tianshi had also walked in at some point, and was sitting in the back watching their quarrel.

"I said Young Master Jiang, you are here, why don't you come out and help?" Guo Letong said, "After all, "fate/stay," has not been aired until now, and you and Teacher He Xi are also inseparable." .”

Jiang Tianshi stood up: "I can't help it, who said that Teacher He Xi is so busy?"

It's not that he doesn't want to decide on the broadcast of "fate/stay," early, but He Xi has been so busy this month that he didn't show up much. The matter has been delayed again and again, and Jiang Tianshi can't make the decision alone.

"Where is Teacher He Xi? Where is he?" Guo Letong asked. He Xi has the greatest right to speak. As long as He Xi is found and asked to host, the result may be reached soon.

"He doesn't go to work today." Jiang Tianshi shrugged and said, "It's the same as what I said before, this matter should be left to the four of you to quarrel, Mr. He Xi and I have no objections, you can just come up with the result. "

How to allocate the premiere broadcast rights of "fate/stay," has also caused quite a dispute within Zhongxia Company and Phoenix Company, so they let the four TV stations come to discuss-this can avoid Jiang Tianshi and He Xi. directly quarreled.

"Where is Teacher He Xi, let's go find him!"

However, after a while of quarreling, the four TV stations found it difficult to make a choice, and it was easiest to find He Xi.

Jiang Tianshi shook his head: "Unfortunately, he's an intern in a hospital, but I don't know exactly where."

"practice?"

"Well, it's said to be a university practice exam..."

"...Don't tell me I forgot that he is still a student, right? He has already started an internship..." Guo Letong vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think deeply, but turned around and talked with other TV stations The representatives discussed a few words and decided to continue the discussion in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, despite the fierce quarrel, the four TV stations still failed to reach a consensus on the premiere rights of "fate/stay." In the end, they used a lottery method in which no one blamed anyone, and determined the animation lines they broadcasted-Xiangjiang TV station was unlucky to draw the hf line.

However, Ninghai TV station got the first broadcast rights of "fate/", Jiang Tianshi felt that his own side did not lose.

He believes that "fate/" will be the line with the highest ratings. (to be continued)
