Chapter 223 Once you are a bad person, you will always be a bad person!
The two animations "Bad Guy" and "The Sky Against the Sky" were already attracting attention and popularity when they were first officially announced. As for the original anime "Bad Man", although it does not have the huge fan base of the popular novel IP adaptation of "The Sky", it has its own popularity. But because the scriptwriter of this animation is Zhou Yu, and the investors are also three big stars, Zhou Yu, Yang Qian, and Wen Shiyi, the attention is not much at all.
Moreover, everyone knows that these two animations are not only a competition between Penguin and Taochang, but also a showdown between Zhou Yu and Taochang. The grudge between Taochang and Zhou Yu in "The Idol's Son" this summer will begin to be settled this time.
Zhou Yu won all the previous duels between Zhou Yu and Starlight Entertainment and Huatian Entertainment. Everyone is looking forward to this showdown with Taochang, especially Zhou Yu's fans, who all want to see Taochang get slapped in the face.
Moreover, this animation is a collaboration between Starlight Entertainment and Taochang, and this defeated enemy appears again. Although Starlight Entertainment is very powerful in the movie industry, the animation industry is different from movies. And this time the opponent is Zhou Yu. I don’t know if they can still do it.
At ten o'clock this Friday morning, December 3rd, these two animations will be launched on Penguin Video and Qiyi Video respectively.
Both video platforms have promoted these two animes, and they are directly recommended on the home page. Especially for Penguin Video, they know that it is difficult to create original Chinese comics, and the current in-depth cooperative relationship with Zhou Yu has given them a lot of resources.
Zhou Yu, Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian also posted on Weibo today to promote it. Teacher Chen Mo, Wang Jiachao and Director Jiang Dan all helped to like and repost it.
Taochang and Starlight Entertainment also provided a lot of recommended resources, and many artists under Starlight also helped promote it.
Just judging from the promotional resources of the two animations, they are comparable, and the gap cannot be widened for a while.
"These two anime are online. I have seen a lot of publicity before."
"When I watched the promotional clips before, I felt that both animations were pretty good, and the special effects and modeling were OK, but I didn't know what the plot was like."
"I still really want to watch the anime Ni Tianqiong. I was chasing this novel every day."
"I'm quite curious about this original Chinese comic that Zhou Yu serves as the screenwriter. I really want to see if he has this ability."
"Don't read it. The original Chinese comics in the past two years are all rubbish. Zhou Yu, a musician, is making original animation scripts. Isn't this nonsense?"
…
The two animes were launched today, and they were also purchased and streamed on other platforms, and they even became hot searches.
Nowadays, it seems that the anime "Ni Tian Qiong" is more discussed and popular than "Bad Person". After all, this is an anime adapted from a classic novel. When it was first announced that the manga would be adapted, there was a lot of discussion among fans of the original work. Now that the anime is online, its popularity is rising.
At Qiyi Video, the person in charge, Mr. Huang, looked at the background data. The animation "The Sky Against the Sky" was a big investment in the company's design animation industry, and it was given a lot of resources, so he had to keep an eye on it.
Looking at the real-time playback data in the background, it has just been online for half an hour. The number of views of the first episode has exceeded two million, and the number of views of the second season by members has also reached over one million. Being able to have such playback data in half an hour is pretty good in terms of animation.
"The results look pretty good."
Judging from this trend, it is not a problem to exceed 10 million views today. It is roughly estimated that the first broadcast in 24 hours will have more than 50 million, or even higher.
"It is indeed a popular novel IP."
Mr. Huang took a quick look and saw that many of the comments on the barrage were from fans of the original novel. This is why many people now like to use these popular novel IPs to adapt animations or film and television dramas. It has fans and popularity, so as long as the filming is not bad, the results will not be too bad.
"The anime Ni Tianqiong feels good. The two seasons have restored the original novel to a high degree."
"I also think that the degree of restoration is indeed better than those magically modified anime, and there is no problem with the special effects modeling."
"It's indeed good, but I feel that the pace is a bit slow. The pace in the early stages of the novel is relatively slow. If the animation is completely based on the novel, I don't know how long it will take to film at this pace."
"I hope the animation can speed up the pace in the follow-up, otherwise it will be difficult to retain people if the early stage is not exciting."
"When I first read the novel, I thought the first volume was too slow and I almost couldn't stand it. I hope the anime can change it."
…
Currently, those who come for anime are fans of the original works. Fans of the original works are relatively satisfied with the two episodes released today, and the high degree of restoration is one of the things they recognize most. Nowadays, there are many animation, film and television dramas adapted from novels. What worries the fans of the original works the most is the magical transformation. However, judging from the first two episodes of the current anime "Nitian Qiong", there is nothing to worry about.
However, although the plot has not been magically modified and is highly restored, the pace is relatively slow. The pace of the novel is relatively slow in the early stages. If the animation were to be like this, it would probably be a bit unsatisfactory.
Mr. Yang of Penguin Video is also looking at the real-time data of "Bad Guy" at this moment. The number of views of the first episode has just exceeded one million, and the number of views of the second episode is over 800,000.
"It's half an hour, and it's still an original animation. This result is pretty good."
Mr. Yang is very clear that "Bad Man" is an original animation and cannot be compared with those animations adapted from novels that have a huge basis in the original work. "Bad Man" can achieve this result within half an hour of being online, which is already very good. Although there are many fans of Zhou Yu and the others, there are quite a few real anime fans.
The key is that he has watched the finished film before. The first two episodes are a foreshadowing, and starting from the third episode, it is getting better.
The pace is not sluggish in the slightest, the plot is compact and exciting. After watching the twelve episodes of the first season, Mr. Yang is looking forward to the next plot.
This time, I collided with the animation project from Taochang. They were enemies on a narrow road, even though I knew I might not be able to do them at first. But the excitement is yet to come. When the plot begins, Mr. Yang feels that it will definitely work!
People here who have watched the "Bad Man" anime are also attracted by this original Chinese comic.
"This original animation written by Zhou Yu is pretty good. I came here to see the excitement, but I didn't expect to be attracted by this animation."
"Yes, the Tang Dynasty, with the historical background, the national style picture quality and various traditional cultural and historical knowledge, I have never seen an original Chinese comic adapted and created using these as the background."
"The costumes in this bad guy are completely in line with the situation of the Tang Dynasty at that time. I love this national style scene."
"Zhou Yu, this is really surprising. This anime is really good. I must help him promote it!"
…
At the home of the well-known film and television commentary blogger "Big Mouth Film and Television Shuo", he has just finished watching the anime adaptation of his favorite novel "Nitian Qiong".
"It's okay. The degree of restoration is quite high. If the pace of the novel can be sped up a little later in the anime, it will definitely be the dark horse of this year's anime."
This is his feeling after watching the anime "Against the Sky". Generally speaking, it is okay, and the restoration and special effects modeling are no problem. But what worries him is that the degree of restoration is too high. If the producer completely follows the rhythm of the novel, this will not be good.
In the beginning, fans of the original work were still there to support it. If the animation does not speed up the pace later and release exciting things, it will not be able to attract pure casual fans and anime fans. Moreover, fans of the original work feel that the pace is as slow as the novel, and they cannot always support it.
"Hopefully he can pick up the pace."
After quitting Qiyi Video, blogger Xu Shan opened Penguin Video, and the home page was a recommendation for the anime "Bad Man".
He was not very optimistic about original Chinese comics, but because this was an animation produced by Zhou Yu as a screenwriter and investor, and Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi joined in, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he decided to take a look.
When he saw the first episode, Xu Shan was amazed by the modeling and scenes.
"Chinese style martial arts animation..."
"It's an anime based on history, which is quite interesting."
I have to say that this was Xu Shan’s first time watching an anime like this, and he was amazed by the modeling and the decoration of such Chinese-style scenes.
Xu Shan was also stunned when he saw the protagonist Li Xingyun and his servant appear.
Is this the protagonist?
Why is it so miserable?
Well, it should be to use this suppressed emotion to attract the audience's hatred, so as to pave the way for the protagonist's revenge later.
"Boy, if you finish eating this bowl of rice, I will let you go."
As the scene progressed, the young Li Xingyun was pushed to the ground, and the old servant was injured and dying. The man placed a bowl of rice on the ground, urinated into it, and pushed it in front of the male protagonist.
Li Xingyun stared stubbornly, and Xu Shan's brows jumped when he saw this scene.
From being a high-ranking prince to being reduced to this, this contrast is indeed quite embarrassing.
He originally thought that the male protagonist would have some kind of treasure, or be protected by some expert, and he would explode.
As a result, in order to save his old servant, the male protagonist was forced to eat this humiliating meal.
this……
"This...whose male protagonist is peeing in rice and making a start!"
Xu Shan was also surprised. This start was indeed a collapse start.
I thought there would be a twist later in the first episode, but there was indeed a twist. The master and servant met Lu Daxia, who seemed to be a key figure.
Just after he and the two were rescued, the villain Black and White Wuchang came out.
"A fierce ghost seduces the soul, and impermanence demands life!"
Daxia Lu died, and Li Xingyun's old servant also died to save him. Finally, the masters of Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan came out and took them away.
"This opening is the protagonist's opening?"
With such a tragedy, will the subsequent outbreak be very high?
Xu Shan was aroused and clicked on the second episode that required members.
