Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

Since Changan Animation released The Name of the Flower in August last year, not to mention the thousands of Xiazhou animation fans who are eager for Changan Animation's next work, and even many in Yingzhou, Hanzhou and other places. The same goes for anime fans.

Especially after the ending of Unknown Flower Name, some of the character designs for Demon Slayer released by Changan Animation's official blog have raised expectations even more!

[Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is said to be a hot-blooded manga! 】

【Fuck! Chang'an is really king, a hot-blooded comic! So ambitious! 】

【Kill, kill, kill! Changan upup! Old thief up! 】

[The old thief is really a genius. He is excellent at calligraphy and painting. Even in ancient times, he was a great talent! 】

[Well, Unknown Flower's Name is wonderful, but compared to the Wang Dao comic, I have to say that the audience is still a little worse. 】

…

The so-called Kingdom comic, in layman's terms, can be understood as a model in which the protagonist embarks on a journey for various reasons, collects partners, encounters events, grows in constant adventures and challenges, and finally defeats the boss.

In the previous life, the most popular works such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto and Tutor all fell into the category of Wang Dao Man.

Why Wang Daoman is so popular is because the story has simple logic, is easy to understand, is positive and inspiring, and makes people excited.

The cruelty of the villain or boss in the story can arouse everyone's hatred and emotions.

The protagonist's anger can always arouse everyone's resonance.

Generally speaking, in Wangdao Manga like this, the protagonist defeats the boss in the end, which is exciting, enjoyable to watch, and highly accepted by the public.

Hero's Dream.

“Messian fantasy.”

Chuunibyou.

These are the reasons why Wangdao Man has a wider audience and wider dissemination.

This plot of a hero rising to save the world will never fade or become outdated no matter what era or field it is placed in.

Lin Qiu and Changan decided to spend three years on the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and broadcast it in three seasons. It will be Changan's top priority for the annual animation.

This anime tells the story of the battle between ghosts and humans.

Legend has it that after the sun goes down, evil ghosts will appear and eat people. There are also ghost hunters who kill evil ghosts and protect people.

The ordinary and happy daily life of Tanjiro, a young charcoal seller who originally lived a happy life, changed drastically on the day when his family was attacked by an evil spirit.

His mother and several younger siblings were brutally murdered, and his sister Nezuko who survived with Tanjiro also mutated into a violent ghost. In order to revenge and restore his sister to normal, Tanjiro embarked on a journey and became a ghost hunter. The story of a member of the human organization Demon Slayer.

The plot of the first part is that Tanjiro embarks on a journey to join the Demon Slayer Corps, with a total of 30 episodes.

The second middle part, which includes the Yugok chapter and the Mugen Train chapter, will end with the death of Demon Slayer Enbashira Anjurou. Here's an appetizer!

The second part of the third part is the most critical decisive battle in Infinite City!

In this decisive battle with the Ghost King and the Winding Ghost in Infinite City, it was extremely brutal and the knives were constantly being used.

Among the Nine Pillars, Yanzhu Xingshoulang died in the last part.

The Insect Pillar Butterfly Ninja was swallowed up by the evil spirit of Kamogenji.

Xia Zhu was cut in half by the evil ghost of Shang Xian Yi at the age of 14.

Snake Pillar, Lianzhu, and Yanzhu all died tragically in the decisive battle with the ghost king Wuxian.

It can be said that by the end of the finale, there were not many lively characters...

The reason why I chose the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba as the Chang'an New Year series.

First, this anime was popular enough in its previous life to prove itself.

Second, the knife is brutal.

Third, if they were all animations like Unknown Flower and Your Lie in April, it would be difficult to become popular, and the audience would be tired of it.

To cheat and kill, the first thing to do is to get the reputation of Changan Animation out.

…

【Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon! I finally looked forward to Demon Slayer! 】

[Just looking at the quality of the trailer, it’s outstanding enough! I believe that Changan will still bring a high-quality Wangdao comic this time! 】

[It’s not that Xiazhou can’t make good animations, it’s just that the money is not spent wisely! If you produce good anime, anime fans will definitely support it! 】

[Although you all say look first and question later, but...]

[But you big-headed ghost! Don’t question Lin Qiu! Support Lin Qiu! Just kill the old thief and that's it! 】

On the forum, countless anime fans in Xiazhou are looking forward to it. Tonight is the day when the first part of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba will be broadcast.

Until now, everyone only knows that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a story about a man fighting a demon.

I have no idea what the specific settings are.

And looking at the released character photos, the heroine Nezuko is hanging from a bamboo. She has a strange and weird shape. I don’t know what she is doing.

Since the death of Sirius in Order of the Phoenix and the broadcast of the serial knife in Sword and Sword 3, the old thief has now become a street rat in Xiazhou, and everyone calls for beating him.

As good as Lin Qiu's reputation is, the old thief's reputation is as bad as it is!

Misunderstanding is the fate of the expresser.

Most readers will not understand why the author created this way, but every plot change and progression is purposeful. For example, Lin Qiu's choice of each work will be done step by step.

If we had written and filmed classics such as Three Kingdoms and Red Mansions from the beginning, we would have reached the sky in one step.

Whatever works we come up with after that will be a huge setback.

…

It was still the familiar bath, familiar potato chips, and familiar Coke. Yuan Xi sat in front of the computer on time, waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock.

It's just that there are figures of Unknown Flower Name placed next to the computer, and there are more than one, and they are all peripheral products produced by Changan.

The quality of these peripherals is very good.

Compared with the ordinary animation peripherals sold from Yingzhou, it is much cheaper and more conscientious!

This has made Changan's reputation among Xiazhou animation fans a direct hit.

If this Demon Slayer is another masterpiece, it can be said that Changan Animation can ascend to the throne of Xiazhou Animation in one fell swoop and lead Xiazhou Animation forward as a leader.

here we go!

call!

When eight o'clock arrived, Yuan Xilian and thousands of Xiazhou animation fans couldn't wait to click in!

“It’s still so well made.”

Two episodes in one day!

Cool!

Yuan Xi pulled the progress bar. There are thirty episodes, two episodes per day.

The people of Yingzhou cannot learn from this animation update speed. Let them see the real speed of Xiazhou!

Meet Lin Qiu and the old thief, these two prolific monsters!

You must know that since they appeared in the public eye, Lin Qiu and the old thief are both famous for their high productivity!

This update speed not only satisfies animation fans, but also fits Changan’s style.

The bigger advantage is that it can tightly lock in the heat!

The male protagonist looks quite ordinary.

Yuan Xi murmured.

Judging from the plot at the beginning of the first episode, Tanjiro is just a charcoal-selling boy with a sensitive nose, living happily with his family.

From the perspective of image design, he is also not as handsome as many anime male protagonists.

This is the style of the old thief.

Meako from The Name of the Flower also had many viewers complaining about her image when she first came out!

But in the end, I still burst into tears.

Just as Yuan Xi took a sip of Coke and the plot had just started not long ago, Yuan Xi suddenly froze...

Because Tanjiro’s family…

Almost all dead!

I'm shocked!

We started with a father, mother, and orphan at the beginning. This is a rhythm that defies heaven!

A perfect template for the protagonist of the Xianque novel!

Yuan Xi exclaimed.

The protagonist template of Xianque novels usually starts as an orphan, which creates such a stereotype.

In fact, this kind of orphan template is not unique to online articles.

Not to mention, Harry Potter is also a classic start with the death of both parents. The fundamental reason is that it is beneficial to the plot of the work.

First of all, if the parents in the entertainment works are still alive, leave them behind and go on adventures to make a living in the world.

This is obviously against normal people's emotions. After all, if the parents are still alive, it is unlikely to abandon them and run away, especially for Xiazhou people who have a strong sense of family.

Lin Qiu still remembers that in the early version of Three Kingdoms, after the three brothers in Taoyuan became sworn brothers, Liu Bei went to conquer the world, and there was a plot to say goodbye to his mother.

However, this plot was deleted in later versions because it was contrary to the emotions.

Second, in order to promote the plot, there is an additional main line of parents.

Especially among all kinds of online novels at this stage, the main plot is the most difficult to think about, especially in modern society where ideas and concepts are changing rapidly.

Ten or twenty years ago, if an online article had a main theme of saving the world and saving the common people, readers would buy it.

But now, because of the adaptation of concepts, this generation of young readers simply won’t buy it.

It's better to be leisurely and comfortable than to dominate the world.

Rather than die rather than surrender, it's better to just live in peace.

Helping others even a little bit is a saint, let alone saving the world.

In this way, there is only one main line left that will definitely not be controversial if written - avenging your parents.

No one can spray it.

…

The old thief is so cruel!

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Because the anime has just started airing, the audience has not established an emotional connection with the characters.

Therefore, it is completely impossible to expect the audience to feel heartbroken and empathize with what happened to Tanjiro.

After watching it for nearly an hour, Yuan Xi finished the first two episodes of Demon Slayer. After watching it, he thought about it carefully:

Are my expectations for Demon Slayer too high?

The first two episodes of Demon Slayer explain some of the background of the story.

Tanjiro's entire family was killed by evil spirits, leaving only his only surviving sister, Nezuko, who also became an evil spirit.

But Nezuko is a bit special. Although she began to lose her mind, she successfully controlled the urge to eat humans because of her brother's call. I don't know if it was the protagonist's aura or the setting.

Overall, there is nothing to say about the production as always.

But overall, it seems a bit bland, just a more conventional Wang Dao Man.

Of course there is nothing wrong with routine, but now the expectations of the entire Xiazhou for Chang'an Animation, Lin Qiu, and the old thief are too high.

Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Xi boarded the animation forum, there were overwhelming doubts!

Among them, there are viewers with high expectations, and there are also sunspots and trolls mixed in.

【Hi! It’s a shame that I’ve been looking forward to it for half a year, is this all “Demon Slayer”? It looks like an ordinary anime, right? 】

[I can only say that it is unremarkable. The setting is good, but the overall situation is a bit bland, right? 】

[Um, maybe our expectations for Chang'an are too high. Not everyone can make a romantic comic. Now it seems that the success of Unknown Flowers is just an accident. 】

[It cannot be said that the success of Unknown Flower Name is an accident. It can only be said that the old thief is more suitable for writing an emotional script like Unknown Flower Name. 】

[I’m sorry, I’ve only watched two episodes, and we’re actually talking about it? When have the works of Lao Zei and Lin Qiu ever disappointed people? Can you comment after reading it? 】

Chang'an's long-standing works, especially Lin Qiu's works, have excellent reputations.

This has frustrated many black people and competitors in the same industry. In addition, entering the animation industry will have an impact on animation companies in the industry. Unintentionally, there will definitely be many more competitors.

For a moment, the entire anime forum became noisy, and there were questions about Demon Slayer everywhere!

The beginning of Demon Slayer cannot be said to be bad, but it does not reach the level of masterpiece in the eyes of the audience!

The four words that appear most frequently are mediocre.

…

Lin Qiu had long expected the overwhelming questioning on the animation forum.

Because the point where the anime Demon Slayer really became a hit in its previous life was the production and depiction of battle scenes.

But Lin Qiu also disagrees if the original comic is bad.

A comic with a poor original work, no matter how good the production team is, can it be made into a phenomenon that continues to refresh various animation records?

In any industry and any work, those who can reach the first place have their own uniqueness.

Cultural and entertainment works are destined to face controversy. Some people appreciate them, while others despise them. This is the freedom and personal aesthetics of readers and viewers.

It is precisely because of the original manga of Demon Slayer that the production team was given such production space.

These doubts will last for five to six days, and it will not be until the twelfth episode, when Zenitsu's fastest sword flashes like a thunderbolt, that the real veil of this anime will be truly unveiled!

story?

Friendship?

No no no...

This anime just bombards you with production and battle scenes!

Lin Qiu thought with a smile.

It is different from storytelling anime such as Attack on Titan, Naruto and Dragon Ball.

The story of Demon Slayer is very simple, it's all about fighting!

Naturally, Lin Qiu will not tell the audience that Demon Slayer will start to show off after ten episodes.

When that time comes, all public opinion will naturally change wildly.

By the second and third seasons, word-of-mouth will reach its peak!

…

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, because of Chang'an's audience base, has attracted much attention and discussion since its launch.

The two episodes on the first day of broadcast disappointed many viewers.

But as the second and third days played, and as the protagonist Tanjiro stepped into the selection of the Demon Slayer Corps, these doubts became less and less, and the reputation was also gradually recovering.

But still, it hasn’t recovered enough to reverse its “mediocre” reputation!
