Chapter 425: Quite curious
"Flame Boy" is broadcast on two weeks, while "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is broadcast on one week. The second episode of the two animations collides on the same day.
On October 2nd, on Monday, Ninghai and CCTV broadcast animations at the same time.
The comparison of the animation this time has also attracted much attention. After all, after watching one episode of the animation, it is a bit unstoppable, but two episodes should be stable enough.
The second episode of the animation of "Flame Boy" maintains a high level like the first episode. This episode mainly tells the process of the protagonist Dongfang Ming climbing to Tianshan and being taken as a disciple by the elders of the Xiaoyao Sect through trials. The trial in the plot has a fierce battle in the fantasy. Dongfang Ming not only won the victory in the fantasy, but also learned a secret skill of the Xiaoyao Sect. The process was thrilling and the battle was also very eye-catching.
The plot of the second episode of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" seems much more dull. In this episode, Cupi told Xiaoyuan that they could realize a wish before becoming a magic girl. Neither of the girls found the wish they wanted to realize, so they followed her behind the senior sister to witness a battle between her and the witch - that's it.
The plot of this episode is very ordinary, even more dull than the first episode. Although there are also battles, it is the battle of the senior sister, and the protagonist Xiaoyuan is still playing soy sauce. With such an ordinary plot, the audience's satisfaction will definitely be very low.
"I won!"
Jiang Tianshi was very excited after watching "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan": "I didn't expect that I really beat He Xi!"
"He Xi is just like that. It seems that I used to be too arrogant... Haha, the animation is quite suitable for me... Angels will become the number one in China if they defeat He Xi. In two years, I will break away from the angels and defeat them. Am I the number one in China?"
He walked around the room and felt that he was so stupid before. He had imagined He Xi as strong as he had not yet had a competition. In fact, it was only this level. This victory was simply easy.
Of course, not only Jiang Tianshi, Zhongxia Company, and many media are very excited.
Although the satisfaction of the second episode of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" has not yet been released, some media have investigated rough figures, and the satisfaction of the second episode will not be much different from the first episode. The situation of "Flame Boy" is similar, and its second episode will continue the high satisfaction of the first episode.
The gap between the two is even bigger, basically not on the same level. It is very difficult to catch up. Now the media that were unwilling to turn to have also begun to turn, and He Xi's disadvantages are already very obvious. "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is a short animation, and the chance of turning the tables later is very slim.
The topic of "Why is He Xi really over" became popular again, and in contrast, the popularity of "angels" has further increased, not only Ninghai, but also in China's first-tier cities. On the day of October, angels have become the most worthy of attention in the Chinese comics industry. Every newspaper and website that reports animation news will put "angels" in a prominent position to report. This was simply unimaginable in the past.
Phoenix Company seemed to be in a state of dimness, and some evaluation agencies lowered their performance expectations for Phoenix Company and raised various indexes of Zhongxia Company. The expert who once praised He Xi in the focus interview also changed his original intention and admitted that the current form of development is very unfriendly to Phoenix Company.
Countless media have requested interviews to Phoenix, and what they want to know is what reaction Phoenix will make under this situation.
But Phoenix Company did not accept an interview, and there was not even a single statement on the official Weibo account about this incident, which made many people confused.
The most urgent thing is Wang Lei, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. He is so anxious that he sweats.
"Why didn't Teacher He Xi react at all!"
The current wind direction is very wrong. Wang Lei wants to interview Phoenix Company, and he has successfully answered Meng Huo's phone number.
But when it comes to this matter, Meng Huo was very calm.
"A temporary wind does not mean anything. We will not respond to media comments, so please don't pay too much attention."
His answer was short and did not talk about the main topic, but Wang Lei noticed the reason. The media is now hot, no matter what response Phoenix Company responds, this popularity will rise further. For them, not responding is the best way to deal with it.
However, this unresponsive attitude really makes people feel uncomfortable. Wang Lei had no choice but to turn to CCTV for an interview.
He originally thought that CCTV would refuse their interview because of the last incident of "Detective Conan", but unexpectedly, CCTV's new animation team actually accepted it.
Wang Lei came to Yanjing with a sense of surprise, and then met Ji Wu, the new person in charge of CCTV animation.
After greeting each other, Wang Lei raised the topic of this interview. His first topic was to ask CCTV's view of the audience satisfaction of the two animations "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" and "Flame Boy".
"You guys look at satisfaction too highly." Ji Wu sat upright on the sofa and said with a smile: "Although satisfaction is an excellent tool to measure the quality of a work, it is affected by various factors. It is not yet possible to say that the quality gap between "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" and "Flame Boy" is really as big as 30%.
"What does it mean?" Wang Lei's heart moved. He felt that he could get new gains today.
"The meaning is very simple. In this comparison of the two animations, satisfaction was affected by a very important factor." Ji Wu stretched out a finger and smiled: "The sense of expectation - this is the reason why the satisfaction of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" has become lower."
Ji Wu began to explain to Wang Lei that the so-called sense of expectation is the degree of expectation of the audience for the animation before it was broadcast.
"Flame Boy" has a strong publicity and a luxurious production lineup, but these do not mean that the audience will have high expectations for animation. Huaxia's animation audience has already had relatively mature standards. They have watched a lot of animations over the years and have some understanding of various companies. Zhongxia's animation works can only be considered medium-to-high.
Even if the new group "Angel" is launched now, it is a group that has not been tempered by time after all, and the audience needs time to accept it. It is impossible for them to have high expectations from the beginning. Big-name artists have more or less raised this expectation as voice actors, but they are all laymen in animation, so whether they can do a good job of animation is also a question.
Everyone is familiar with the content of "Flame Boy" and the expectation of the content will not be too high.
Based on various factors, the advertisement of "Flame Boy" was well known before it was launched, but most viewers still had questions about the quality of the animation. As a result, when the animation came out, it was amazing. The quality of "Flame Boy" exceeded the level of all the previous animations of Zhongxia Company, and the picture was even better than He Xi's works.
The low expectations are far beyond this expectations after the animation is broadcast, and the audience will naturally be surprised - the satisfaction will also be very high.
However, in He Xi's aspect, the situation is completely the opposite.
Who is He Xi? He is the number one cartoonist in China. Which animation in the past is not a super popular animation!?
"Pokemon", "Gundam Ed", and "Detective Conan" that caused a tide a while ago - as long as anyone who can watch animations knows that He Xi's animation is the number one in China, and his sense of expectation will be very high.
This time, "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" has been prepared for several years, and the story content is even more mysterious, which has whet the audience's psychology from the beginning. People are looking forward to "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" being stunning in the first episode like the original "Gundam Ed". In addition, the high-level "Flame Boy" was broadcast in advance, so the audience's requirements for "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" are even higher, far exceeding "Flame Boy".
But the animations that came out failed to surprise them. Apart from the picture, the plot is not even as good as any of He Xi's previous animation works. It is obvious that the audience's satisfaction will be very low.
"...The level of expectations determines satisfaction, and the quality of the animation is not very different." Ji Wu finally smiled: "Our director has read Teacher He Xi's later plan, and they said this to me... "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is a work that will not embarrass Teacher He Xi, but it is not time to exert force yet."
Wang Lei was surprised and happy, no, according to Ji Wu's statement, could there be a god development in "The Magical Girl Xiaoyuan"?
He thought about it carefully and it was not surprising that He Xi's many works had a magical turn. At the beginning, he was criticized to death and finally beat others in the face more than once or twice. Especially in the game, which one is perfect, Fate or Clannnad, isn't it a work that was not favored by others in the early stage, and various other slapping works later?
But this time it's an animation. He Xi has always been the leader in the animation. He has not yet shown the animation of the later reversal. In addition, this time "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is a short story, and the reversal may be very small, so the media didn't care...
"Can't it..."
Wang Lei felt a trembling heart. Could it be that He Xi wanted to stage a Jedi counterattack in the animation industry? This... is impossible?
"Team Leader Ji..." Wang Lei swallowed and asked, "What do you mean is that "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is better than "Flame Boy", right?"
He wanted to confirm Ji Wu's idea.
However, unexpectedly, Ji Wu shook his head.
"I just said that the difference between the two will not be as big as numerical. As for who wins and who loses, I can't answer." He said: "After all, I just heard from the director. I haven't watched the actual animation of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", and everything is difficult to guarantee."
"But if I asked me to choose, I would rather let "Flame Boy" be played on our TV station..."
Wang Lei immediately felt bad. After a long time of work, Ji Wu still thought "Flame Boy" was better! Even the TV stations of Phoenix Company said so, "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is simply worse than "Flame Boy"!
"Don't get me wrong..." Ji Wu seemed to see through Wang Lei's thoughts, and he laughed: "I just think the style of "Flame Boy" is more suitable for our TV station, "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan"... What should I say... You will know in the next episode... It's quite... curious." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
