Chapter 982: Shana

"Have you watched the predecessor of "fate/stay,night"?

"I watched it, it's really good... But "Fate" broadcast on Ninghai TV is also very good. This animation is so amazing, and the ratings are almost the same as "fate/stay,night"..."

"It's not "fate/stay, night", it's just a sideline, right?"

"Even if that's the case, it's quite amazing!"

On the high-speed rail, two young people talked about the new animation that was aired last week.

The animation "fate/stay, night" adapted from He Xi's second text adventure game was aired at different times on four TV stations. The total ratings of Saber and Ub lines broadcast by Tokyo and Suhua TV stations were better than those of Ninghai and Xiangjiang TV stations.

However, the highest single-line rating is Ninghai TV's "fate/zero", which is 1% and 0.5% higher than Tokyo Novel + 3. and Suhua TV respectively.

And not only that, Ninghai TV is also the most popular animation ratings station last week. In addition to "fate/zero", another new work "Fate" has a much lower rating than "fate/zero".

After careful preparation for a long time, the animation of "Fate" was finally aired. Its ratings were better than everyone's expectations, and it reached the same level as the popular "fate/stay,night". As a newcomer's original animation, it has to be said that its performance is quite amazing, and it also attracted extremely hot attention.

This is not good news for Phoenix.

"Tsk... why are you talking about fate everywhere? It's obviously only one-quarter of the level of "fate/stay, night". Why are you all fussing!" Not far from two young people talking about animation. Sun Yang, editor of the editorial department of "Weekly Boy", looked unhappy.

"fate/stay,night" performed well, but the popularity of the past few days seems to have been stolen by "Fate".

"There's nothing to do. After all, "Destiny" is a new work, so there will naturally be more topics." Ye Xiong was playing with his tablet computer with a calm expression.

"Fate" is a new work, while "fate/stay,night" is an old-fashioned work. It is normal for the topic of "Fate" to stand on the upper hand in a short period of time. However, in another week or two, the topic of "Fate" will not be so much attention.

"I'm more curious about that author than "Fate"," Ye Xiong picked up the tablet, pointed to the webpage above and asked Sun Yang, "What do you think of this kind of news?"

Sun Yang looked over and said that this was a news report on the original author of "Fate" "Jing Yue". The news title was equated between Jing Yue and He Xi. Even if you don't read the content, you will know what you are talking about.

"These media really dare to say anything!" Sun Yang said with a funny look: "Just relying on a work, Jingyue really became the second teacher He Xi?"

"But the above content is not without reason..." Ye Xiong took back his tablet and smiled: "As an original creator, Jingyue's debut grew faster than Teacher He Xi, and she has only been in the industry for a few months. Her popularity has been comparable to Teacher He Xi's achievements for more than a year."

Sun Yang was stunned: "Editor-in-chief, he is really faster than Teacher He Xi?"

"It's true in data..." Ye Xiong nodded. The impact of "Destiny" comics after the release of the "Detective Conan" was close to that year of influence. After the release of the animation of "Destiny", Jingyue's popularity also surpassed that of Meng Huo of that year.

"Then this kid can really compare with Teacher He Xi!" Sun Yang was shocked. He didn't expect that there were really people in this world who could challenge Meng Huo.

However, Ye Xiong shook his head again: "I didn't say he can compare with Teacher He Xi."

"Then what did you mean just now?"

"I just say that his influence has increased faster than Teacher He Xi at the beginning." Ye Xiong smiled and said, "But this newspaper used some data to prove that * Jingyue and Teacher He Xi are equal, but this is an unfair way of comparison. The current comics world is incomparable from the past."

Ye Xiong was surprised by Jingyue's rapid growth, but he did not think that the mysterious cartoonist who created "Fate" would be stronger than He Xi. Today's comics industry is not the comics industry in the past, and the comics dissemination power of the two times is a world of difference.

As for comic magazines, the sales of "Weekly Boy" magazine, which He Xi debuted back then, is just a small comic publisher that cannot be even smaller. He can't touch the toes of today's Phoenix and Zhongxia companies.

However, "Weekly Boy" was the most popular comic weekly, which shows how small the comic market was back then. No matter how powerful He Xi was, it was impossible for him to have the influence of some cartoonists today in such a weak magazine in that environment.

The same is true for animation. When "Hong Yi Yi" was first released, China Animation was dominated by CCTV, and most of the animation audiences were children. Today, the wider audience of animation is dozens of times more than that of that year. The effect of "Destiny" is naturally greater than that of "Hong Yi Yi" when it was first released.

So just a movie "Fate" is not enough to show that * Jingyue can defeat He Xi. However, judging from the history of Chinese comics, Jingyue's success rate is indeed the closest person to He Xi.

"This mysterious cartoonist... I think it can be regarded as a small version of He Xi..." Ye Xiong smiled and said: "His latecomer advantage is very strong. If his future works can maintain the quality of "Fate" or go to the next level, I think he will soon be more reused than angels."

If Jingyue and Angels work together in the future, they might have a chance to challenge He Xi and Ye Xiong to think so, but Jingyue now does not have much chance of winning. Moreover, Ye Xiong did not know that he was not the first person to think so, Meng Huo had the same idea.

"Editor-in-chief, what would happen if Teacher He Xi was given today?" Sun Yang asked curiously.

"Put Teacher He Xi to debut today?" Ye Xiong was stunned, and then laughed in silence: "That would be amazing. If Teacher He Xi's debut conditions were as good as Jing Yue, I wouldn't even dare to imagine what he would make the world now."

This is the same as thinking about what world He Xi will bring six years later. But as long as you recall the difference between the comics industry six years ago and now, no one will be so stupid that he can imagine the scene six years later that it is obviously impossible to imagine.

Who knows whether He Xi will create any new way of playing comics in the future? Even if someone tells Ye Xiong that all the pedestrians on the street dress up like an anime character six years later, he will not be surprised at all.

"Forget it..." Ye Xiong shook his head, then looked at the time on the tablet: "The new animation is on the air, do you want to watch it?"

"Is "Shana with the Eyes"? I'll watch it!" Sun Yang hurried over.

Ye Xiong put his tablet on the small table in front of the two and opened the web video of Su Hua TV. The animation has not started yet. However, the advertising time in the upper right corner has entered the 180-second animation countdown.

"I heard that Teacher He Xi did not participate in the production of this animation?" Sun Yang asked worriedly: "Will there be any problems?"

"I don't think so. Teacher He Xi participated in the pre-production. He should have explained the framework of the animation and the details that need to be paid attention to." Ye Xiong said: "And director Bai should also be able to make "Shanna with the Eyes" very well."

"Why do you say that?" Sun Yang became curious: "What's special about "Shana with the Eyes"?"

“Of course it’s special.”

Ye Xiong believes that the entire work of "Shanna with the Eyes" is quite special, which is a very dreamy work. There are many fresh settings and special terms in the original comics. The fresh and cold words combined with the wild imagination make every reader feel a dreamy feeling when reading.

However, it is precisely because of these feelings that the animation of "Shanna with the Eyes" is more suitable for the animation director who has rich imagination and has not yet fixed thinking. He has been unqualified and is willing to try new styles. "Shanna with the Eyes" is undoubtedly her best partner.

"And..." After explaining the above words, Ye Xiong paused for a moment, and then asked: "Sun Yang. What element do you think is the most important animation of "Shanna with the Burning Eyes"?"

"This..." Sun Yang hesitated for a moment: "Sense of the picture?"

"Don't worry about the picture. Teacher He Xi's quality of animation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience. Director Bai cannot fall behind in this area."

“That’s music?”

“Music is not the director’s job.”

"What is that?"

"...character image." Ye Xiong looked at Sun Yang with a little regret. He couldn't even see such obvious elements: "The setting and terminology of "Shana with the Eyes" is very fresh. It sounds better to say that it is cold and rigorous. The story derived from these settings and terminology will naturally appear very dreamy and is harder to have a sense of substitution than ordinary animations."

Simply put, the various settings and terms of "Shanna with the Eyes" create a threshold for its animation... This threshold is similar to the threshold such as "the story starts in a complex manner" and "no sense of substitution". It will affect the audience's first impression, and people always cannot accept the new settings at once.

But this threshold is more difficult for animation makers to notice than other thresholds. They are familiar with the settings of the original work and it is easy to forget that new audiences are not used to these settings and words, so that the production difficulty of "Shanna with the Eyes" is actually higher than that on the surface.

In this case, other elements should be used to quickly attract the audience, making up for the coldness of the settings and words. At least in the first episode of the animation, all the audience had not yet adapted to the setting of "Shanna with the Eyes", so they had to use other elements to attract them to think that this animation was great.

The plot of "Shana with the Eyes" does not develop quickly at the beginning. According to the comics, most viewers will become familiar with and adapt after the previous episodes of animation. Therefore, the plot cannot be regarded as an unfavorable element to reverse. If you want the audience to fall in love with "Shana with the Eyes" in the first episode, there is only one way to start with the character image.

Even in comics, He Xi used this method at the beginning. The heroine Shana is the key, and her image is very charming: she has a burning eyes, a petite figure but a strong and strong look, a black cloak, a long sword.

It can be said that the first reason why the comic "Shana with the Eyes" gives readers the first reason to buy is that the heroine's image is great, and in the plot of the first volume, her performance is also very prominent. Her small body carries the fate of being a crusader. While being arrogant and majestic, she proudly carries the feelings of a girl. Such successful character creation is a necessary condition for the success of the first volume of the comic.

However, the first volume of the comic tells a complete story, and the situation faced by the animation is even more tense. However, the advantages of animation are not small. In terms of showing the charm of the characters, animation is even better than that of the comic.

"The character is the key to ratings. As long as the first episode of "Shana with the Shake Eyes" is highlighted, there is no need to worry about the animation ratings." Ye Xiong made a judgment, but in fact he was still a little nervous about this episode of the animation.

Whether the animation version of "Shana with the Burning Eyes" can be successful is also very important for him. After all, "Weekly Boy" will also start serializing the comics of "Shana with the Burning Eyes" this week. If the animation becomes popular, the comics will naturally benefit.

Sun Yang understood Ye Xiong's reason a little. Bai Yan is a famous director, and one of her strengths in the past was that she produced the charm of the characters in movies. If the key to "Shanna with the Eyes" lies in the role, it can indeed form a matching effect with Bai Yan.

"I think if the character is, there should be no need to worry." Sun Yang suddenly became full of confidence.

Ye Xiong looked at him and smiled: "Why did your attitude suddenly change?"

"Because Shana's charm can easily be highlighted." Sun Yang said: "Isn't she arrogant? Miss Xiangzi's dubbing is definitely very suitable. The previous "Dragon and Tiger" has proved this."

Before the production of "Shana with the Scarlet Eyes", Bai Yan directed the animation "Dragon and Tiger", and the heroine in it has a very similar personality traits to Shana in addition to her image. In "Dragon and Tiger", Kako Takashima and Bai Yan have worked together to exert the charm of the heroine to the extreme, so there is no need to worry about "Shana with the Scarlet Eyes".

"They're really good in cooperation..."

Ye Xiong was very surprised. He didn't notice this just now, but after thinking about it carefully, the cooperation between Bai Yan and Kako Takashima was passed down, so there was no need to worry about the performance of the heroine of "The Burning Eyes Shana".

"Miss Kaori is such a lucky person."

Sun Yang couldn't help but envy Kako Takashima's luck. The dubbing of the heroine in "Dragon and Tiger" made the popularity of this female voice actor soar, and he immediately approached Shen Jie and the other two. Unexpectedly, "The Legend of the Dragon and Tiger" will be "Shanna with the Eyes". The heroine in this animation has more roles than "Dragon and Tiger", and the image charm in the comics has also increased.

It can be foreseen that Shana's expression in the animation is definitely stronger than the heroine of "Dragon and Tiger". Not only will Kako Takashima's popularity not be neglected, but will become more powerful because of the successor of "Shana with the Eyes" and go to a higher level.

"Why am I not lucky?" Sun Yang couldn't help but think that if he had the luck of Kako Takashima at work, he might be an editor-in-chief now. (To be continued...)
