Chapter 223: Once a Bad Guy, Always a Bad Guy!

The two animations, "The Bad Guys" and "Against the Sky", have already attracted attention and popularity when they were officially announced. As for the original animation "The Bad Guys", although it does not have the huge fan base of the popular novel IP adaptation "Against the Sky", it has its own popularity. However, because the screenwriter 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 less.

And everyone knows that these two animations are not only a competition between Penguin and Taobao, but also a duel between Zhou Yu and Taobao. The grudge between Taobao and Zhou Yu in "Idol Son" this summer will be settled this time.

Zhou Yu won the previous duels with Starlight Entertainment and Huatian Entertainment. This time, everyone is looking forward to the duel with Taobao, especially Zhou Yu's fans, who want to see Taobao get slapped in the face.

And this time, the animation is still a collaboration between Starlight Entertainment and Taobao, and this defeated opponent has emerged again. Although Starlight Entertainment is very good at movies, the animation industry is different from movies. And this time the opponent is Zhou Yu, I wonder if they can still make it.

At 10 am this Friday, December 3, the two animations were launched on Penguin Video and iQiyi Video respectively.

Both video platforms gave these two animations a push and directly recommended them on the homepage. Especially Penguin Video, knowing that original Chinese animations are difficult, and now with the deep cooperation relationship with Zhou Yu, it has given a lot of resources.

Zhou Yu, Wen Shiyi, and Yang Qian also posted a Weibo today to promote it. Teacher Chen Mo, Wang Jiachao, and Director Jiang Dan all helped to like and forward it.

Taochang and Starlight Entertainment also gave a lot of recommended resources, and many artists under Starlight also helped to promote it.

Judging from the promotional resources of the two animations alone, they are also comparable, and the gap cannot be widened for a while.

"These two animations are online. I saw a lot of promotion before."

"When I watched the promotional clips before, I felt that both animations were pretty good, and the special effects modeling was okay. I don't know what the plot is like."

"I still want to watch the animation Against the Sky. I was following this novel every day."

"I am quite curious about this original Chinese animation written by Zhou Yu. I really want to see if he has the ability."

"Don't watch it. The original Chinese animations in the past two years are all garbage. Zhou Yu, a musician, is writing original animation scripts. Isn't this nonsense."

...

The two animations were launched today, and they also bought push streams on other platforms, and they were even on the hot search.

Now it seems that the discussion and popularity of the animation Against the Sky are higher than that of The Bad Guys. After all, this is an animation adapted from a classic novel. When it was just reported that it would be adapted into a comic, the discussion among the original fans was not low. Now that the animation is online, the popularity is directly rising.

On iQiyi Video, Mr. Huang, the person in charge, looked at the background data. The animation "Against the Sky" is a big investment in the company's animation industry, and the resources are quite a lot, so he also has to keep an eye on it.

Looking at the real-time playback data in the background, the first episode has exceeded two million views in just half an hour, and the second season of members has also reached over one million views. Half an hour, to have such playback data, is very good in the animation field.

"The results look good."

According to this trend, it is not a problem to break 10 million views today. It is estimated that the first broadcast in 24 hours can have more than 50 million, or even higher.

"It is worthy of being a popular novel IP."

Mr. Huang took a rough look and found that many of the comments on the barrage were supported by fans of the original novel. This is also the reason why many people like to use these popular novel IPs to adapt animation or film and television dramas. With fans and popularity, as long as it is not badly filmed, the results will not be too bad.

"The animation Against the Sky feels good. The two seasons have a high degree of restoration to the original novel."

"I also think that the degree of restoration is indeed better than those magic-adapted animations, and there is no problem with the special effects modeling."

"It is indeed good, but I feel that the rhythm is a bit slow. The rhythm of the novel is relatively slow in the early stage. If the animation is also completely based on the novel, I don’t know how long it will take to shoot this rhythm."

"I hope the animation can speed up the rhythm in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to retain people if it is not exciting in the early stage."

"When I read the novel, I felt that the first volume was too slow and I almost couldn’t watch it. I hope the animation can be changed."

…

Currently, some fans of the original novel are coming for the animation. For the two episodes launched today, the original novel fans are quite satisfied. The high degree of restoration is the thing they recognize most. Nowadays, many animation and film and television dramas adapted from novels are most worried about the original novel fans. However, judging from the first two episodes of the animation Against the Sky, there is nothing to worry about.

However, although the plot has not been changed and the degree of restoration is high, the rhythm is relatively slow. The pace of the novel is relatively slow in the early stage. If the animation is like this, it may not work.

On the Penguin Video side, Mr. Yang is also looking at the real-time data of "The Bad Guys". The number of views of the first episode has just exceeded one million, and the second episode has also seen more than 800,000 views.

"Half an hour, and it's an original animation. This result is not bad."

Mr. Yang is very clear that "The Bad Guys" is an original anime and cannot be compared with those novel-adapted animes with a huge original work foundation. It is already very good that "The Bad Guys" can achieve this result in half an hour after it was launched. Although there are many fans of Zhou Yu and others, there are many real anime fans.

The key is that he has watched the full film before. The first two episodes are a prelude, and the third episode is gradually getting better.

The rhythm is not dragging at all, the plot is compact, and it is exciting. After watching the twelve episodes of the first season, Mr. Yang is looking forward to the next plot.

This time, it collided with the animation project of Tao Factory. The road is narrow, even if you know that you probably can't beat them at the beginning. But the excitement is still to come. When the plot starts, Mr. Yang thinks it will definitely work!

People who have watched the animation of "The Bad Guys" here are also attracted by this original Chinese animation at this moment.

"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 history as the background, this national style picture quality and various traditional culture and historical knowledge, I have never seen an original Chinese animation adapted and created with these as the background."

"The costumes and dresses in this bad man are completely in line with the situation of the Tang Dynasty at that time. This national style picture, I love it."

"Zhou Yu is really a surprise. This animation is really good. I must help promote it!"

...

At the home of the well-known film and television commentary blogger "Da Zui Film and Television", he had just finished watching the animation adapted from the novel "Against the Sky" that he liked very much at the time.

"It's okay, the degree of restoration is quite high. If the animation can speed up the rhythm of the novel in the later stage, it will definitely be the dark horse of this year's animation."

This is his feeling after watching the animation "Against the Sky". Generally speaking, it is okay. There are no problems with the degree of restoration and special effects modeling. But what worries him is that the degree of restoration is too high. If the production team follows the rhythm of the novel completely, it will not be good.

At the beginning, there are still fans of the original novel supporting it. If the animation does not speed up the pace and release exciting things later, it will not attract pure passers-by and animation fans. Moreover, the original fans think that the pace is as slow as the novel, and it is impossible for them to support it all the time.

"I hope he can speed up the pace."

After exiting iQiyi Video, blogger Xu Shan opened Penguin Video, and the homepage was the recommendation of the animation "The Bad Man".

He is not optimistic about the original Chinese animation, but because this is an animation produced by Zhou Yu as the screenwriter and investor, and Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi have joined, he can't resist curiosity and plans 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 still an animation adapted from history, which is a bit interesting."

It must be said that this is the first time Xu Shan has watched such an animation, and he was amazed by the modeling and the scene decoration of such Chinese-style pictures.

When Xu Shan saw the protagonist Li Xingyun and his servant appear, he was also stunned.

Is this the protagonist?

How could he be so miserable.

Well, it should be to use this kind of suppressed emotions to pull the audience's hatred, so as to pave the way for the protagonist's revenge later.

"Boy, if you eat this bowl of rice, I will let you go."

The scene flowed, the young Li Xingyun was pressed to the ground, the old servant was beaten and dying, the man put a bowl of rice on the ground, urinated in it, and pushed it in front of the male protagonist.

Li Xingyun stared stubbornly, and Xu Shan's eyebrows jumped when he saw this scene.

From the high and mighty prince, to this point, this contrast is indeed quite sad.

He thought the male protagonist would have some treasures, or some masters to protect him, and he would explode.

In the end, in order to save his old servant who depended on each other for life, the male protagonist was forced to eat this bowl of humiliating rice.

This...

"This... Whose male protagonist has a bad start!"

Xu Shan was also surprised. This is indeed a start of a catastrophe.

I thought there would be a reversal in the first episode. There was indeed a reversal. The master and servant met Lu Daxia, who seemed to be a key figure.

Just when he thought that the two were saved, the villains Black and White Impermanence appeared.

"The evil ghosts are taking souls, and the impermanence is asking for lives!"

Lu Daxia died, and Li Xingyun's old servant died to save him. In the end, Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan's master came out and took them away.

"Is this the start of the protagonist?"

It's so miserable, will the explosion later be very high?

Xu Shan was aroused a little interest and clicked on the second episode that required membership.
