The Creator of the Second Dimension

In Xu Rui's view, the plot of "Iron Magician" is similar to an animation of Brother Douding and Brother Tie Pi on the earth, and it is a youth-oriented work.

The first episode uses a contrasting technique. The first half is a harmonious life of the people in a village, but the second half reveals the truth. It turns out that this village has monsters that eat people, and the villagers need to vote for sacrifices in order to survive. The protagonists found out the truth and killed the monster, but the villagers became very panicked, as if they had lost the purpose of life.

"Compared to "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student", this story is not so easy. If the director of martial arts is not good enough, this animation will cause a lot of controversy."

After Xu Rui finished watching, Yi Qianqian peeled all the crabs on the table. She has been in Ningjiang for several years, and she is also very skilled at eating crabs. She can remove the hairy crabs without getting her hands dirty. No leftovers.

"There is no problem with the production. Director Wu Yi's team is indeed the strongest in the Chinese industry at present."

Yi Qianqian wiped her hands with a tissue and said calmly.

"As long as the production level of this kind of team is normal, it is almost an excellent animation, but it seems that director Wu Yi is not satisfied with this, and wants to make a breakthrough in the content."

"Yes, even if the plot is completely ignored, the battle process design and painting performance, the combination of hand-painted and 3D, including the chaos in the opening song, are all excellent performances. With the plot, the expressiveness is even more amazing. Thinking that just in October, there will be such a strong animation.”

Seeing that Yi Qianqian had finished eating, Xu Rui also started to clear the table.

People in the animation industry watch animations, which is no different from ordinary audiences watching animations. They will applaud interesting animations, but they are less interested in boring animations. At most, they can understand the difficulties behind some paintings, and these shots may only last a few seconds. bell.

"I'll go back and play games for a while and then go to sleep."

Yi Qianqian saw Xu Rui walking into the kitchen with a plate, and raised a question.

"Okay, Miss Qianqian, go to bed early."

Xu Rui responded, turned on the faucet, and then heard the sound of the door closing.

After washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen and dining table, he turned off the light outside and went back to his room to lie down.

The October night was still a bit hot, Xu Rui closed the screens, opened the windows, and could feel a little bit of warm wind.

He originally wanted to go to sleep directly, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he took out his mobile phone and flipped through it casually.

The animation section of the A2 forum has already had a lot of posts about the October animation, among which several highlighted special buildings are even more eye-catching, and the one with the most replies is naturally the "Iron Magician" that has just finished broadcasting.

[yaoniming300]: Perfect production, in-depth plot, this year's annual animation has already come to an end ahead of schedule, and the people behind can leave.

[Heavenly Dog]: Showing off dark, deep and disabled animations, martial arts are really getting more and more inflated. I thought he would bring some good works, but I didn't expect it to be worse than the previous one. I am so disappointed!

[Assault Team Leader]: Those upstairs who said the animation is not good, you can do it?

[He Shu]: I laughed so hard, I have to know how to refrigerate the refrigerator to evaluate whether it is good or not? I think Iron Mage Warlock is okay in the early stage, but it will definitely collapse in the later stage! ! !

[FCKKKK]: I think this animation is very good. It has foreshadowing and reversal, as well as wonderful battles and complicated settings. If you think it is not good, I will give you the pen and draw it.

[Word Count Pudding]: I was gnawing on the neck of the duck when the animation was broadcast, and I couldn't watch it halfway through. I think this animation will probably lose money.

[Guest 123]: I blindly guess that the average sales volume is about 8,000 to 10,000. It should not be difficult to become the hegemony of the season, but it is not so interesting to become the hegemony of the annual sales.

When Xu Rui saw these comments, he remembered the sales volume, so he clicked on Taotao.com, the largest online shopping website in the country, to check the reservation status.

In just over an hour, "Iron Magician" has already ranked first on the pre-order list, far surpassing other animations. According to the exchange of reservations and actual sales, Xu Rui visually estimated the average sales volume of "Iron Magician" It should be more than 10,000. From his own impression of watching the animation, the average sales volume of this work should be 20,000.

According to the industry's previous practice, for a thirteen-episode animation, if the average volume can reach 2,500, it means that it will not lose money. Sales volume, so it is also called "school girl line".

And if the average volume can reach 5,000, it means that its sales have reached the top 20% of the annual animation sales, and there is hope for the production of the second season, so it is also called the "second phase line".

A sales volume of 10,000 is a best-selling work. Not only is it easier to produce the second season, but it will also be continuously promoted in various channels. At this level, it is actually a very successful animation.

Judging from these indicators, there is no doubt that Iron Mage Warlock should be a successful commercial animation. The ability of martial arts directors to produce commercial works is fully reflected in the sales volume.

Sales volume does not represent quality, not only because of the difference between popular and niche works, but also the selling price of the CD, the accompanying products, and even the schedule, all of which have an impact on sales. Therefore, people in the industry generally do not judge success or failure solely based on sales. .

What's more, now that online broadcasting is popular, the broadcasting rights of video websites are also an income, and the sales of CDs are just a reference.

But for some audiences, sales are the most conspicuous indicator. They will call the works with the highest sales "hegemony", while some works with excellent original works or famous production teams but low sales are called "violent death".

Because of this, sales have become the favorite topic of discussion among the audience, and they enjoy it every quarter.

"The best seller this year should be the previous "Ningjiang Zombie 2". The average sales volume of the three volumes released was 12,000. From this point of view, it should be a certainty that "Steel Magician" surpasses it."

Xu Rui recalled the information he had seen before and muttered to himself.

The A2 forum soon had a sales prediction post again. It seemed that because some people were arguing in the special building, the moderator simply made a prediction post and used the forum points as bets to bet.

Xu Rui took a quick look. There were very few votes below 2,000, and more votes were between 2,000 and 5,000, and between 5,000 and 10,000. Almost the same, I don't know if it's the bad taste of the moderator, and set the option of 30,000, but it's too outrageous, no one bets.

Xu Rui thought about it, logged in to his account, and invested some points in it for entertainment.

What he bet on was exactly the 30,000 option.
