Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

A road that has never been explored, different from the setting of the good-for-nothing hero or the genius hero in Jing Yu's previous works.

The male protagonist of Chunwu is an ordinary person, neither a waste material nor a genius, neither wants to be a waste material nor a genius.

Instead, he accepted his own shortcomings from the very beginning, accepted other people's misunderstanding of him, and never changed himself for the sake of others' eyes.

Get used to solitude, enjoy solitude, do not socialize with others, and reject others' kindness, but all of them have only one purpose, neither hurting others nor letting others hurt themselves.

"It took me three episodes to understand the hero's style."

"Maybe older people will think that this hero is very naive. Doesn't this movie mean that he lives in his own world and refuses to accept other existences breaking into his world. Kind of similar."

"Indeed, there are always a small number of people in reality. Most people are ordinary people like Hikigaya, who are full of fantasies about the world, and then they are ruthlessly whipped. After watching the first episode, I just think he is a negative boy. Seeing In the latest episode, I realized that my life is not as clear as his. "

"However, there is actually something wrong with his approach. Yui obviously wanted to have a good relationship with him, but he directly closed the door. I am actually very angry with this approach."

"To put it bluntly, it's because he's afraid of being hurt. After all, it's not painful to be alone all the time, but suddenly you have friends and companions, but these people leave you in the end. That's the most uncomfortable thing!"

"Hikigu has a very high awareness of the fact that he is an unpopular otaku. He doesn't recognize himself, and he doesn't believe that others will recognize him. Maybe he thinks that Yui wants to be friends with him. It's hot in minutes."

"To be honest, this drama, although it is slow, but I really got a sore nose after watching this episode tonight. It's not because the plot is so sensational, but because this male protagonist brought back many memories of my adolescence. It's almost the same as him, and they are all unpopular."

"After all, he has experienced many failed confessions at a young age, was isolated by his classmates, and was considered a weirdo by everyone! No wonder he is so pessimistic about the world, but at least one thing, this male protagonist does not feel sorry for himself. I think it's great!"

"Indeed. This male protagonist is that if you read it all the way, you will feel that he is an ordinary boy. There is nothing special about him. Why should he be the male protagonist? But at a critical moment, a very reasonable sentence suddenly popped up, and he made a completely different from ordinary people. The different behavior will make you shine in front of him!"

After the third episode of Chunwu was aired, the ratings basically didn't increase at all, only 9.01%, and there was even a tendency to drop below the 9% rating mark, but its reputation suddenly improved.

For an excellent work, there is no need for every minute and every second of the plot to be good enough to make people feel excellent. It only needs to be touched by a sudden wave of plot at a certain moment.

But after all, the number of audiences for love-themed works is indeed limited.

Otherwise, why did all of Jing Yu's super-popular two-dimensional works in his previous life be about fighting?

This point is actually the same in Dazhou. A large part of the audience likes to watch works with brainless, special effects, and fighting themes. Jing Yu can't help this kind of market preference.

But in general.

At least Chunwu, as Jing Yu's urban campus theme work after several years of absence, has not insulted his current reputation in terms of ratings and ratings.

But that's all. If the ratings of Chunwu can be compared with that of a work with excellent plot and special effects like Gundam after it is broadcast, then Jing Yu will doubt whether Da Zhou's audience's taste is biased.

mid july passed by

The time came to the second half of the month, and at the end of July, the Giants plot could be considered to have entered some controversial stages.

For example, Attack on Titan was originally a work that was biased towards survival competition and exploring the secrets of the world. Now, it has basically evolved into a plot of countries in the world, racial wars, and political manipulation in the worldview of the play.

The owner of the giant power who was tall in the early stage has also become a humanoid weapon in this part of the plot. And Alan, a hot-blooded teenager in the early stage, even became the leader of the coup d'état inside the city wall in this part of the plot, and he did not hesitate to commit killings for his own purposes.

No one knows how much Alan was affected by the memory fragments and thoughts of the attacking giant and the ancestor giant after the power of the giant was fully awakened.

But this kind of plot seems to have completely changed the person, which really made many viewers feel uncomfortable.

"Now there are more doubtful and questioning posts about giants on the forum. Many viewers expressed that the character of the protagonist and the rhythm of the plot change too fast!" Cheng Lie said in Jing Yu's office.

"There's no other way!" Jing Yu said after a pause.

"Indeed, this work is too long. It can be called the longest work you have created since your debut. In fact, the plot of the giant Marley chapter is not bad at all. However, the part where you are looking at the sea in the last chapter is too much. Great, the audience's expectations are too high." Cheng Lie nodded.

He knows all the follow-up plots of the giants. After all, basically all the work for the follow-up plots of the giants has been completed.

Cheng Lie, the source of the last episode of Giant, also watched it himself.

In the Da Zhou version, Jing Yu could well delete some plots that were criticized in the previous life in the original version.

For example, the words that Alan cried and said to Almin before his final death.

【Don't do that kind of thing! Mikasa found another man or something, I hope she will think about me for the rest of her life, at least ten years after I die]

Any iron-blooded man viewer, as long as Alan, the hero who sees this kind of resentful woman posture in the TV series, will probably feel his scalp numb, and want to rush in and punch him to make him stop screaming.

There is also the moment before the death of his mother in the first episode. In order to let the world finally come to his current situation, those mother-eating giants who controlled the past through the power of giants in the future let Bertolt go, and ate his mother instead. The hints of dropping are also deleted.

As long as the creators don't describe these plots, will they actually affect the main plot of the story?

After Jing Yu's evaluation, he personally felt that it had no effect at all.

If the original work doesn't describe this plot, can the audience wonder if Chi Maju killed Ellen's mother because someone manipulated it? Certainly not! Just let it be an accident in the setting, will it affect the plot?

There is also a series of mysterious speeches made by Allen before his death, completely transforming the image of Allen's hot-blooded youth before watching the sea plot, and Allen's mature and rational character image after the work Marley into a weird one.

Then Jing Yu gave a series of foreshadowings from the previous plot. To put it bluntly, I just borrowed directly from the plot of Lelouch's ending, how Lelouch manipulated his subordinates to turn against him, believing that he is a tyrant who does not hesitate to brew world tragedies for his own self-interest, and then deliberately killed himself, And world peace.

Cheng Lie was quite satisfied with the ending of this giant.

If he is asked to give a score by a professional practitioner, if the overall score of the whole giant drama is 85 points, then the whole work can be given 95 points before watching the plot of the sea, and 80 points after watching the plot of the sea. Very nice.

It's just that this ending is a bit deliberate, because the hero Allen obviously has the strength to destroy the world. With his character and his hatred for these countries outside Pa Island, he also has the motivation to support him in doing so, but he decided to make it Shape yourself into the image of the big devil, and then ask your partners to attack him, so as to win the opportunity of the island of Pag being accepted by the world.

This plot is actually a bit of a Madonna. But it is really impossible to really create a male protagonist who destroys the world, otherwise the series would not be able to pass the review and be broadcast.

Cheng Lie also believes that the audience can understand this, and he is not worried that there will be too many audiences complaining and complaining.

"Then we also have to prepare for the giant's ending campaign! After all, it is the highest-rated work in the history of Da Zhou's TV series. The ancients in the front have all been killed, and the newcomers in the back. Now that the TV industry is sluggish, it is impossible. There will be newcomers! We have no problem opening champagne halftime early to celebrate, and the end of the giants must be a little more grand." Cheng Lie said.

"Yes, that's true!" Jing Yu nodded.

"You can arrange it! I can spare time and fully cooperate with the company's activities."

Cheng Lie's eyes brightened upon hearing this.

"Understood, if your fans want to know that you will show up in these events, then the attention will definitely go without saying."

Cheng Lie is also a man of action, and immediately after the discussion with Jing Yu was almost done, he immediately arranged for relevant personnel to organize activities.

Time passed, and at the end of July, Gundam Seed's launch game was released globally.

Giant, as always, maintains high popularity and topicality, and the ratings basically remain above 15%.

The ratings of Chunwu also hovered between 8% and 9%.

The ratings data of these works is very stable, Jing Yu didn't pay much attention during this time.

But the game of Gundam surprised him.

Most of the games of this kind of works are actually made into role-playing games.

The background of the story is directly based on the world view of the Gundam Seed version. The protagonist's words are to interpret the struggle between the two major human factions in the TV drama from the perspective of another person within the framework of this world view.

Of course, the timeline is parallel to that in the TV series, and the final meeting point is also the place where Kira finally fought in the last episode.

Many important characters in the TV series also have plot appearances in the game, and the extra plot of Jing Yu's previous life Gundam Seed can actually be understood as a kind of extra game plot work.

Thanks to the huge popularity of the Gundam Seed TV series, the game, after all, took a year to produce and invested hundreds of millions of dollars. If you want to say that its quality is top-notch in the industry, it must be an exaggeration. But it must be above the standard, only in Dazhou domestically, the price is 165 Dazhou coins, and the sales volume is 1.9 million copies in half a month after going online.

In foreign countries, the game sales actually exceeded Jing Yu's expectations.

Because the sum of foreign sales is actually higher than domestic sales, the total sales volume in half a month after going online is 2.26 million copies

Without making a sound, Jing Yu brought a blockbuster to the industry through the Gundam game.

Calculated in this way, the total sales volume of the game with a seed of up to half a month has exceeded 4 million copies.

And not only is Dazhou's domestic sales booming, but also those foreign audiences who are outside Jingyu's main business scope are also buying it?

This situation is unprecedented.

The works of Dazhou’s game industry have always been rampant only in China, and sales are generally dismal when they go abroad. Not to mention that there are no games that have become popular abroad, but those examples are all big domestic game companies that engage in large-scale publicity abroad. To achieve that result.

But up to.

Jingyu has done a good job in domestic game announcements, but overseas.

"Forty million promotional expenses in China, but only 10 million promotional expenses in foreign countries, but foreign sales exceed domestic sales?" Jingyu people are also a little confused.

He really didn't pay much attention to the popularity of Gundam and other works abroad. After all, the foreign language is not good, and because the branch company's game channels abroad have not been fully opened up, the cooperation agreements of many channels will not take effect until the release of Pokémon and other works next year. , until next year. So I didn't expect Gundam games to have good results abroad.

but

Looking at the research report submitted by his subordinates in a short period of time.

Jing Yu's eyes narrowed.

According to the report, among Jing Yu's many film and television dramas in the past, in fact, most of the love-themed works received a mediocre response abroad.

Countries like Dazhou are similar to Southeast Asian countries in Jingyu's previous life, and tend to be Confucianist, so Jingyu's love works are popular in Dazhou, but when they go abroad, many people can't understand the fun of those implicit love.

Only the works produced by Jing Yu in the past two years, the Destiny series, the Gundam series, the Ultraman series, and Attack on Titan are also very popular abroad.

No matter which plane or country the bloody battle works are for all ages.

Foreigners are also obsessed with mech battles, and they also want to control various cool machines in the game to participate in the human galaxy war.

Jing Yu blinked. In fact, half a month ago, he was still thinking about how to open up foreign channels.

I am worried that my next few games will encounter Waterloo abroad, and I am not acclimatized.

But it never occurred to me that there was a possibility.

Those are Jingyu's works, and they have long had a large group of loyal fans abroad, and they are also eagerly waiting for Jingyu to release the new games of the Gundam, Giant, and Destiny series.

Even many people are already eyeing Jingyu Company's plans to release Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh next year, and they are counting the days to wait for the game's release date.

"This development..." Jing Yu smiled wryly, he himself felt weird.

But after thinking about it, in fact, the most difficult problems in the production of a game work, such as funding, personnel and other issues, have long been solved by him.

Its works do not say that there will be any channel preferential treatment after they are released, but at least they will definitely compete fairly with all works of the same period.

As long as the work is really interesting, it can also sell well just by word of mouth.

The sales of 4 million copies in half a month is not a miraculous sales result in the game history of this world plane, but in the global game industry this year,

Among all the games released throughout the year, the sales volume ranked fourth in the first half of the month, and it is the number one sales of games released this month.

It is impossible for game works with this kind of data not to be noticed by peers

After all, the total sales volume of this kind of work can be said to exceed 10 million, which is a certainty.

And when colleagues go to discover the history of the game branch of this Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company.

Aside from those low-cost game works that are just for cutting leeks, such as the game released when Evangelion just ended, the first version of Ultraman’s game, and the current top ten casual games on the mobile game download list, Ultraman Xiaolewai. There are only three game works produced by this company seriously and released globally.

Destiny Guardian Night, the sequel to the Fate series: Grand Designation, and the Gundam seed game that is now in the limelight

The global sales of the first two have already exceeded 10 million, but more than 70% of the sales are contributed by Dazhou.

As for the Gundam Seed game, it seems that there is a market no matter which country it is in.

Is it really that outrageous?

Many foreign game manufacturers are also baffled.

Can a game adapted from a TV series have such a high sales volume?
