Chapter 330: Reputation Gap
Although the show time on the TV station is different, this time "Chainsaw Man" was placed in the weekend late night slot.
The main reason is that the subject matter of "Chainsaw Man" is more sensitive this time. The last "Edgewalker" only involved bloody violence, but for "hot-blooded" shounen comics, it is normal to see some blood and violence.
But this time "Chainsaw Man" is not just about bloody violence...
There is also the plot of Pawa's "mat man" and the subsequent close interaction between Makima and Denji. Those are all sensitive plots!
So I put it on the weekend late night slot on the children’s channel.
In addition, the Republic’s children’s animation channel, in fact, the name says it is children, but it is not really aimed at children. ①
Children and teenagers are synonymous, so the animation works broadcast on this channel are actually passionate animations for teenagers.
Rather than saying that it is Zi Gongxiang's work.
Real child-oriented works, specially for teenagers under the age of 14, are called children's channels in the Republic.
There is also the parenting channel further down, which can be regarded as an alternative animation rating system in this parallel world.
But "Protoss" is different. It advertises youth, passion, and positive energy. There are only a few kissing scenes in the comic.
Even if there were, those kissing scenes were either superficial or full of youthful and innocent feelings.
Therefore, "Protoss" occupies the best weekend slot at 7 o'clock this time, because everyone can turn on the TV and watch the animation after eating.
At this time point, traditional TV stations are still in the sunset. If the schedule of "Gods" is placed in the past, it will definitely be the trump card.
Therefore, "Protoss" still has a small advantage.
However, with the advent of the Internet era and the popularization of smart devices, TV stations will become unpopular in less than two years.
The truly important battlefield...will become an online platform!
In terms of the current broadcast arrangement of emerging online platforms, "Gods" and "Chainsaw Man" both start from the same starting point - one episode is updated on time every Sunday at 12 o'clock.
It’s just that one is broadcast exclusively on station C, and the other is on Youdou.com.
In this way, the weekend slowly arrived, and "Protoss" was first broadcast on the TV station.
However, fans of the long-awaited "Protoss" comic turned on the TV with great expectations and watched the first episode of "Protoss"...
There are still polarized opinions among them.
"How does it feel...it's so different from what I imagined..."
"It's okay. The plot of the first few chapters of the original work was quite boring, but it became more interesting later on."
"I think that suddenly funny plot...isn't necessary. This plot doesn't exist in the original work, right? Why do you mess with it?"
"Me too...I feel like it's very fragmented after watching it."
"It's okay. As long as the underground palace battle can be reproduced in the future, and the final bad guy cheats and explodes... I will be very satisfied."
"And the song is quite nice. Looking at the opening credits, I feel that the rest of the song should be quite exciting."
"What are you thinking! This is definitely above the standard! It doesn't matter what the first season is like. After all, the first part of "Protoss" is not particularly good. I am already looking forward to the second season. Luxury Car Viaduct on Rainy Night !”
"I don't think it's good enough. Fallen Garden is really not suitable for producing the animation of "Protoss". The sudden funny plot makes me want to vomit."
"Trigger or King's Power are more suitable... I think the style of "Edge Walker" is the "Protoss" animation in my mind."
"The style and narrative of "Edgewalker" which favors the American tough guy style are indeed more suitable."
"I don't like it. I just like the current animation style of "Protoss". It can be a little funny and make people feel more relaxed!"
"Look at the back... This can only be regarded as a small flaw. If the back is well made, I won't be able to accept it."
…
After Yang Shuzhun watched the animation broadcast on time, he immediately used various smart devices to go to the official website, forums, bibs, C stations and other places to see what everyone thought of the "Gods" animation broadcast.
Sure enough, there are still people who know how to appreciate his works.
Yang Shuzhun nodded with satisfaction. As for other bad comments, he regarded them as trolls.
""Protoss" and I will have a big victory soon."
He was a little happy. He took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet he bought recently, planning to celebrate, and said, "This is the taste of victory, full of power and power..."
Yang Shuzhun himself is somewhat of a petty bourgeois person. His works are like this, and his own life and customs are also biased towards this aspect.
He opened the red wine and used a decanter to sober up the wine before pouring it into a goblet.
Then he picked up the goblet, shook it, and said excitedly, "This is just the beginning of my success. Next, I will not only make animations, but also make popular games, and even TV series and movies!"
Yang Shuzhun said this, as if he really saw that day coming.
As soon as his movie "Protoss" was released, it attracted tens of thousands of fans from all over the world, and its reputation and box office exploded!
This is every creator’s ultimate dream!
Yang Shuzhun's body was shaking with excitement.
…
night.
In Lin Qingshan's apartment.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Gu Qianli, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the countdown on the TV station and counted excitedly and said, "There are still 30 seconds until the premiere of 'Chainsaw Man'!"
At this time, even Pochita beside him seemed to be excited because of Gu Qianli's excitement.
Only Lin Qingshan stretched out his fingers to scratch his face and looked at the excited Gu Qianli.
"Qingshan, why do you look so cold?"
Yang Zhihan beside him blinked, looked at Lin Qingshan, and asked curiously, "This is the animation adapted from your work!"
"The main thing is... Actually, I have seen it, and this is not the first time that an animation work has been adapted."
Lin Qingshan thought for a while and said, "For me, this is the case."
When the animation of "Edge Walker" was released before, he might have been a little excited.
But now Lin Qingshan is already a successful cartoonist, not only the animation of "Edge Walker", but also "Kamen Rider Ryuki", and there may still be some excitement before.
But when the animation of "Chainsaw Man" was broadcast, Lin Qingshan was mentally prepared.
People are like this. The first time they feel very fresh and excited, the second time they will become ordinary, and the third time they will get used to it.
Especially Lin Qingshan has really watched the animation of "Chainsaw Man" several times, especially the first episode.
When Trigger Animation was first produced, he watched it from beginning to end.
And he watched it again at the promotion meeting and the first episode.
So when the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" was broadcast, Lin Qingshan looked quite calm.
Even though "Chainsaw Man" was broadcast late at night, she came to Lin Qingshan's house to watch the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" with Lin Qingshan.
"Men, they are always tired of the old and love the new."
Suddenly, Li Zhiqiu couldn't help teasing Lin Qingshan and said.
During this period, they have become quite familiar with Lin Qingshan. After all, they come to have dinner every day, and even if they were strangers like passers-by before, they can become familiar with each other.
"Oh, this isn't a case of getting bored with the old and liking the new."
Lin Qingshan blinked and said, "This has nothing to do with getting bored with the old and liking the new. I'm just used to it."
"Okay, okay, Qingshan, they're just joking with you."
Gu Qianli looked at him with a smile, but she suddenly said, "Wait, the animation is on!"
All of a sudden, everyone in the room, including Pochita, focused their attention on the TV station.
As the exciting opening song "KICK BACK" was sung at high speed, the abstract opening full of movie tributes also appeared.
Denci, Pochita, Machima, Hayakawa Aki, Himeno, Pava, Higashiyama Kouhong, Arai Hiroichi and other important characters in the first season all appeared one by one, which made Gu Qianli, a fan of "Chainsaw Man", full of excitement.
As the opening ended, another classic TV station logo appeared and the promotional words passed, and the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" was officially broadcast.
At the opening, Denci's "selling balls to pay off debts" speech struck Li Zhiqiu and Yang Zhihan, two passers-by who had not read the "Chainsaw Man" comics, as if they were struck by lightning.
If the beginning of the second part of "God Clan" is about how to describe the heavy rain that night in one sentence, then Denci's speech is about how to create a miserable person in one sentence.
Starting as an orphan and losing both parents are not miserable. People like Denci who sold their eyes and balls and still have a large debt to pay off are living in purgatory on earth!
Then, the gangsters treated Denci like a dog, which also made Li Zhiqiu and Yang Zhihan very angry.
But Denci was not miserable enough. Later, he was stabbed in the back by the gangster old man, offered to the zombie demon, and was dismembered by the zombie demon's puppets. It really made passers-by feel distressed.
Later, the memories of Denci and Pochita's story continued to unfold, giving people a sense of the deep friendship between the man and the dog.
It's just... Li Zhiqiu and Yang Zhihan felt it was strange, because Lin Qingshan named the puppy they rescued Pochita.
This made it difficult for them to look directly at the deep friendship between Denci and Pochita that transcended race in the animation...
Because they always put themselves in the shoes of Lin Qingshan and Pochita...
Then in the animation, after the contract was signed, Lin Qingshan... no, Denci was resurrected and turned into a chainsaw man to kill people everywhere.
Until the last Makima appeared, hugged Denci and gently said that she wanted Denci to be her dog.
This dialogue made Li Zhiqiu and Yang Zhihan feel a sense of déjà vu again.
If Pochita was the puppy they rescued, and Lin Qingshan was Denci.
Then this gentle and beautiful woman with pink hair could it be...
They looked strange. It seemed that Lin Qingshan was not very slow, but he had liked Gu Qianli for a long time and didn't dare to say it.
So he drew Gu Qianli into the comics as the heroine, and he drew himself as the hero.
The ending of "Chainsaw Man" should be that the two live happily together...
"It's so good!"
Gu Qianli, who had watched the first episode, said with a lingering feeling, "As expected, the animation looks more comfortable, and this time it seems that the quality of "Chainsaw Man" is not worse than "Edgewalker."
"Hehe, yes, it's great!"
Lin Qingshan said excitedly at this time, "Speaking of this, I am really grateful to Director Ming and the other production staff. It's really great!"
"It's mainly because Qingshan, you drew the original work well."
Gu Qianli smiled and praised.
"No, no, no, Qianli, you still think too highly of me."
Lin Qingshan waved his hand and said.
Even if it is the original author's credit, it is not his credit.
And after watching the previous version of "Chainsaw Man" animation, watching this version of "Chainsaw Man" animation, you will feel the obvious gap between the production teams.
I really should give another kowtow to Ming Yiyang and the others!
Lin Qingshan thought so.
"Okay, after watching "Chainsaw Man", we have to go back to sleep."
Gu Qianli said drowsily, "Actually, I want to watch the version with barrage, but I'm very sleepy. I'll watch it tomorrow when there are more barrages."
"Okay."
Lin Qingshan gave a thumbs up as always and said, "Good night."
...
Many people are like Gu Qianli, holding the idea of swiping the barrage on C Station for the second time, so they waited until 12 o'clock and opened C Station.
After all, it is the weekend, and most workers on weekends are on vacation.
Only Gu Qianli, who is his own boss, is miserable. He still works overtime without rest on weekends.
This is the disadvantage of being a boss. If you really work hard, you will work harder than the 996 social animals.
However, the income of the bosses is much more considerable than that of the 996 social animals. After all, no one owes them wages, so there is no need to pity the bosses.
The workers deserve the weekend off, and they deserve to enjoy the good time on the weekend.
As soon as 12 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, Station C immediately launched the first episode of "Chainsaw Man".
Zhou Wenwei had been refreshing the "Chainsaw Man" animation page second by second before 12 o'clock on Station C. He couldn't wait to be the first viewer of "Chainsaw Man" on Station C.
Finally, with his unremitting refresh, at 12 o'clock midnight, the "Chainsaw Man" animation page finally refreshed with the words "01" for the first episode.
"Here I come!"
Zhou Wenwei was refreshed and immediately clicked to play the first episode of "Chainsaw Man".
Then, when the screen was still black, he took the lead in typing and sending the bullet screen in the bullet screen, "First, first!"
This was his purpose, and then he watched the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" carefully.
Zhou Wenwei is not used to watching TV, so this is the first time he watched the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" animation, of course he was a little serious.
Although he has read the comics and knows what the plot at the beginning is, he still watched it with gusto.
After watching it, Zhou Wenwei said happily, "Chainsaw Man really did not disappoint. This first episode has a tendency to dominate the new show, but we still have to see how "Gods" is..."
"Gods" is exclusively broadcast on Youdou.com, but he doesn't like Youdou.com very much. The barrage there is not as fun as on C Station.
In addition, everyone has a familiar habit of first come first served.
Just like you are used to using Android phones, and suddenly you will be particularly uncomfortable with using Apple phones...
Zhou Wenwei is used to using C Station to watch barrage, so he can't get used to the new barrage function on Youdou.com.
So he chose to watch "Chainsaw Man" first and then "Gods".
In fact, as a double fan, Zhou Wenwei feels that he likes both equally.
The first episode of the Protoss animation had already been uploaded. He clicked on it and watched it. However, he did not feel any joy from interacting with the comments on Youdou.
These comments... are not interesting...
Well, it's still watchable without comments.
So, he just watched the Protoss animation seriously.
But...
After watching Protoss, Zhou Wenwei frowned deeply.
"This... the first episode, I feel bad."
He subconsciously compared it with the first episode of Chainsaw Man and said, "The plot is ordinary, and the overall plot is not serious enough, but not funny enough, so awkward..."
When he thought of the plot in the middle where everyone suddenly started to make fun of him, Zhou Wenwei was so embarrassed that his toes were tapping the ground.
