In April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the real spring comes to the world.

This year’s April animation is slightly stronger than last year. Rainbow Media’s adaptation of "The World of Swords" is a rare online game animation. The sports animation "Light Feather Boy" made by Tomato starts with badminton and is very unique.

Mushroom Yinghua’s original animation, "Minority Survey" with the near future as the stage, has been appetizing from the beginning of the trailer. Southwest Sichuan Animation takes the audience into the world of super-powered basketball with a "Phantom Basketball".

Jingping’s love of craftsmanship this season only has the old meal ticket "Ningjiang Zombie 3", but as this animation gradually catches up with the original progress, I am afraid that they will have to rely on the new series to make money next, and the love of crafts animation will also be released. In line with the plan for the new work, a trailer for this work was released in eight languages. It is said to be adapted from a book by Ai Craft. The trailer has not yet appeared, but the picture of the promotional poster is very delicate and full of expectations.

Last year, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" created a sales miracle of 88,000 copies in its first release. People can't help but look forward to the next work of Phantom Animation. At the same time, "Wolf and Cat" directed by Wu Yi ranked No. Second, it also makes people worry about whether he can achieve his wish and win the fifth annual animation award this year.

However, Wu Yi himself is very indifferent. After finishing the production of "Wolf and Cat", after only a break for the Spring Festival, he released the information of his new work.

Wu Yi's new work is called "The City of Giants", which seems to be a growing epic about the struggle between humans and giants. This style of animation is very tough and highly anticipated by the audience.

As for the phantom animation, only a thirty-second preview was announced.

Although there have been some gossips before, it is only now that people really confirm that the next thing that the phantom animation will produce is the adaptation of the long story "Boundary Line on the Horizon" serialized on the Chinese network.

This surprised some people who understand the dynamics of the industry.

Because although many of Diandian Chinese websites are very popular, "Boundary Line on the Horizon" is obviously not the part at the top of the ranking list. This book can reach the threshold of high-quality goods. The only thing that can be remembered is The exploding length is the same as the huge **** in the character illustration.

This trailer only shows a few of the main characters in the first volume, but it can also be seen that the animated characters are very restored, and even the exploded chest is perfectly inherited.

At Hatsune Video.com, the barrage of this trailer soon took up half of the screen, but it was not overwhelmingly well received.

[What kind of animation is this? Why is the breast so big? ] [Fuck, this is the harem animation, you are depraved! 】【Absolutely, I didn't read it after reading 2 million words. I feel that I can't read it without 10 million words. ] [What, is this an adaptation? Where is the original? 】【I thought that Phantom Teleplay would do some more in-depth animations, but I didn’t expect it to be a harem. 】

Obviously, a large number of female characters make people think of harem animation, that is, an ambiguous animation of a male protagonist and several, even dozens of girls. This kind of animation is available every year. Although it looks a little low, it can’t stand a lot. People like such YY works.

Obviously, after the baptism of several animations, people subconsciously feel that phantom animation should be the kind of animation company with style. The works produced are not only warm, but at least they have some connotations. And the harem animation is obviously not nutritious. The white animation was equated. They didn't expect that Phantom Animation would also have a day of harem animation.

Of course, people who actually watched it quickly came out to explain that this is actually not a harem, but more like a group drama, but most people’s impressions are preconceived. Soon, Weibo and forums also targeted "On the Horizon". Discussion of "The Boundary Line".

Even on the Chinese website, some passers-by appeared in the comment area of ​​the original work. They didn’t start to comment on the harem selling meat. They were quickly muted and deleted by the administrators. These people went to other social platforms to vent, but they were similar. In fact, things are very common on Diandian.com. In the past, there were even public confrontations between authors and readers, so it didn't make any waves.

......

At the same time, Hatsune Video Online, with Hatsune Miku on sale for nearly a month, the number of submitted works in the music zone gradually began to show a blowout posture.

If the creators who got Hatsune Miku in advance were all experienced professional or amateur musicians before, now this software has been popularized by the general public, and various music videos are emerging in endlessly.

Most of them are cover songs. After all, not everyone knows how to compose. Many people buy them just to experience the feeling of making Hatsune Miku speak.

Of course, there are also some creative videos, such as letting Hatsune Miku recite Buddhist scriptures and recite Pi. Such videos have also received a lot of clicks and become a unique trend.

The real detonation is the illustration area.

For a time, the fan pictures related to Hatsune Miku became the mainstream of the entire illustration area. Open the partition and you can see a touch of green. All kinds of big touches come to an end, and hundreds of fan pictures appear every day.

At the same time, some people used their brains and combined some songs to create a different kind of hatsune.

For example, the broken version of Hatsune drawn in conjunction with "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku", and the colorful Hatsune that was born from the idea of ​​a rainbow, with all white hair, snow Hatsune wearing heavy clothes, and black Hatsune, etc. , The second creation led to three creations, and all kinds of Hatsune Miku came into being.

In the column area, Hatsune Miku has an endless stream of fanarts, such as "The days when I lived with Hatsune Miku", "My sister is Hatsune Miku", "I picked up a Hatsune Miku", "My Hatsune Miku can't be so cute", etc. It even replaced the previous RPG Shuangwen and became the mainstream of the column area.

Xu Rui anticipated this situation, and at the same time was happy to see that he did not restrict the creation of non-profit colleagues, and he has no idea of ​​interfering with the rewards that creators get through Hatsune Miku's videos and articles.

Due to the particularity of the website, the vast majority of Hatsune Miku related derivatives are concentrated on the Hatsune Video Network. This is also because Xu Rui has long laid out the illustration area and column area, and the traffic of the two active fandoms did not attract other websites .

On April 1, Hatsune Video Network announced a special mechanism dedicated to the music zone, which is the palace mechanism.

According to the announcement, if an original Hatsune Miku song reaches 1 million ~ lightnovelpub.net~, it can enter the Platinum Palace, and if it reaches 10 million, it can enter the Palace of Legends. The hall will have a special label. As well as the display location, it will also show the time when the song entered the hall, which is a mechanism to encourage creation.

At the same time that the palace was released, people can see that twelve songs have entered the platinum palace, including the familiar "His Royal Highness the World's First Princess" and "Dissolve", as well as the infinite brainwashing song of onion. There is no tune from the Palace of Legends, and the nearest "His Royal Highness the Princess of the World" is still more than 4 million views.

Compared with these, what Hatsune Miku solves most is Xu Rui's economic problems.

According to statistics, as of the end of March, 220,000 copies of Hatsune Miku's regular version and 50,000 copies of the premium version have been sold. This has brought Hatsune Video Online's revenue of 100 million yuan.

Coupled with the release of the last volume of the Blu-ray Disc of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", the average sales volume of the four volume discs is up to 80,000 copies, and here is an income of hundreds of millions.

After deducting costs and operating expenses, and subsequent development and production investment, Xu Rui also has a large amount of cash flow to invest. After investigating for a period of time, he finally decided to take a step in the game industry.
