Chapter 264 Ratings

After watching the animation of the first episode, Xi Muhan couldn't wait to click on the forum and read the replies inside with joy.

Since freshmen must live on campus, Xi Muhan lived with three other girls. The other three people usually spend time in the study room, but now Xi Muhan is the only one left in the dormitory.

Originally, Xi Muhan also wanted to go to the self-study room, but today is the premiere of "Soul of Chess", and she wanted to see "Soul of Chess" as soon as possible, so she returned to the dormitory early.

Xi Muhan seldom watched anime, the last one she watched was Shen Xin's "ys", but she only watched the first few episodes, the plot after that was changed a lot, so she didn't have the heart to watch it.

Based on her shallow knowledge of comics, the quality of "Soul of Chess" is obviously higher than that of "ys", and she has no idea how much higher.

But after reading the posts on the Manjia.com forum, Xi Muhan also somewhat understood the production level of "Soul of Chess", that is, "Soul of Chess" is better than most animations, and it is still a lot better.

Xi Muhan just finished reading a post with more than one hundred floors, and clicked on another post with a screenshot of "Soul of Chess", and the door of the dormitory was pushed open by his roommate.

She glanced back at the person who entered the room. It was a girl with twin ponytails, holding a copy of "Outline of World Civilization".

This girl is Liu Yan, Xi Muhan's roommate. I usually like to read world history, and I have recommended some good European and American history to Xi Muhan. She is relatively quiet, but after getting acquainted with her, many people will find that she has another side that is unknown.

The relationship between Liu Yan and Xi Muhan is not bad, and they often chat after lights out.

It's just that Xi Muhan usually reads more Chinese history, and only glances at world history, so the chat between the two often diverges.

Liu Yan put the book on the desk, noticed that Xi Muhan was giggling at the screen, and leaned over curiously.

"What are you doing? With a smirk on your face."

"Ah?" Xi Muhan was taken aback, quickly put away his smile, and looked at Liu Yan with some embarrassment, as if someone had discovered some little secret, "Didn't you... go to self-study?"

"Tomorrow, the first library is preparing for an event. The library is closed, and the other libraries are full of people, so I will come back first... What are you looking at?"

"No, just look at the forum." Xi Muhan said quickly.

"History Forum?" Liu Yan looked at the computer screen, "Huh? "Soul of Chess"? What dynasty is this about?"

Xi Muhan coughed dryly, "This is not history, it's animation."

"Huh?" Liu Yan grinned, "Usually you write unnutritious words, forget it, and watch these unnutritious animations."

"If you haven't read it, how do you know it's not nutritious?"

Xi Muhan was a little bit dissatisfied, if Liu Yan talked about her, that's fine, but she couldn't bear to talk about Shen Xin.

Besides, "Soul of Chess" is not a comic without nutrition.

"It goes without saying that they are all watched by people under the age of 11."

"This comic is read even by adults. There are some professional chess players. Your understanding of Go is not as good as that of professional chess players, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case. If it's the history of Go, maybe I know more about it."

"..."

With this kind of nerd, there is nothing to say.

Xi Muhan puffed his cheeks, and pulled down the post depressedly.

"Pause!"

Liu Yan behind him suddenly called to stop, which made Xi Muhan jump.

"What's the matter?" Xi Muhan looked at Liu Yan puzzled.

"Who is this boy drawing? So beautiful?" Liu Yan pointed to the screen and said.

Xi Muhan looked at the screen again, and it happened to be a screenshot of the animation of Zuo Wei's appearance. Zuo Wei's elegance and elegance were vividly reflected in this screenshot.

It was only then that she remembered that Liu Yan liked history, but she liked the historical stories of "selling rot" even more.

"Ahem... want to know?" Xi Muhan coughed lightly.

"En." Liu Yan nodded again and again, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Then let's start from the beginning." Xi Muhan took a deep breath, her primary goal now is to make Liu Yan a reader of "Soul of Chess".

...

The next day, the ratings of the major animations on Saturday were published on Manjia.com.

Chess Soul squeezed into the top ten with a ratings of 7.5%.

For a new comic, this is already an ideal result. The comics of "IC Future" magazine that rank higher than "Soul of Chess" are only "Diary of a Killer" and "Legend of the Dragon King", and even "Hunting Abyss" is behind "Soul of Chess".

Long Yao's general manager, Long Tian, ​​couldn't close his mouth when he saw the ratings.

This is just the ratings of the first episode. If the trend is stable, the ratings of "Soul of Chess" is likely to break through 9%. By then, the sales of DVDs and BDs will be very exciting.

The TV station paid 65% of the production cost, the advertising company and the game company also paid 15%, and the Korean TV station also paid a considerable amount of rebroadcasting fees. Sales are also good. Long Yao finally had a lot of liquidity.

Although there is still a certain gap compared with Long Yao at his peak, as long as the sales of DVDs and BDs are not too bad, Long Yao will get out of the quagmire and revive with full blood.

The only thing that makes Long Tian feel regretful is that the company does not have the copyright for District 11, and the ratings and sales of "Soul of Chess" in District 11 have nothing to do with Long Yao.

Long Tian felt like he had missed a hundred million.

There are gains and losses, right?

If there is no orochi, the picture will not be of such high quality. By the way, there is also music. Sawyer deliberately found a high-level producer, so the music of "Soul of Chess" is also a highlight.

Long Tian is not an idiot either. Although he does not earn as much money as producing alone, the cost of production is reduced and the risks are less. More importantly, in this way, Long Yao has the funds and energy to produce original animation films.

"Well, take some time and collect a few books to read."

Long Tian rubbed his chin, a little unable to hold back his excitement. Making comic animations has never been as fulfilling as doing original animations.

At this moment, the fax machine on the desk suddenly rang and quickly printed out a form.

Long Tian glanced at the words on it, it was crooked, it was either horizontal or vertical, or it was a circle.

He clicked his mouth twice, feeling a little helpless.

Others are blind or face blind, but he is word blind.

In his opinion, most of Han's characters look similar.

After thinking for a while, I called the company's translator.

Soon, a young man wearing glasses knocked on the office door.

"Look at what is written on it?" Long Tian handed the fax to the young man.

"Oh, it's the ratings of "Soul of Chess" in the country of Han."

"What grade?" Long Tian asked curiously.

"6.6%, among all animations, ranks in the top ten."

"Huh?"

Long Tian immediately became interested. He didn't expect that "Soul of Chess" had such a high ratings in the country of Han. Could it be possible to sell the broadcasting rights next time at a higher price?

Suddenly, Long Tian was full of expectations for the future of "Soul of Chess" animation.
