Chapter 183 Public Opinion

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the main anime has a total of twelve episodes, which are made into five BD discs and sold out within a month.

Let’s not talk about the fifth volume that has just been released.

The sales data of the first four volumes have also increased in this month, reaching 3.01 million copies.

In total, the average sales of the first four BD volumes have exceeded 700,000 copies.

In the Dragon Country animation BD sales rankings in August, Puella Magi Madoka Magica’s 3.01 million copies are far ahead, leaving the second-ranked animation work "Mecha City" by nearly 2 million copies.

Mecha City, Dragon’s Secret Treasure, and Throbbing, these three big-budget animations in the summer season were not only suppressed by Puella Magi Madoka Magica in ratings when they were broadcast on TV stations, but the release time of the animation BDs of several works was basically the same. After all, your discs must be sold before the popularity of the animation fades.

Although I know that it will collide with Madoka Magica, and the sales will definitely be affected when the BD is released, there is nothing I can do!

It can be said that the animation of Puella Magi Madoka Magica has become the most influential animation in the Dragon Country animation industry in recent years.

Its theatrical version of the animation has been released, and many people in the animation industry have been paying attention to it a month in advance.

Especially the three major animation companies, as the saying goes, peers are enemies.

Although Xia Tang Animation Production Company has produced a phenomenal animation, it is natural and reasonable for this company to make money.

But if the rise of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is based on the works of the three major animation companies, then there is nothing to say.

In the past month, those who spray Puella Magi Madoka Magica's theatrical version on the Internet must be rubbish, 100% of which are money-making animations, and 60 to 70% are water armies hired by the three major companies.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica can't be allowed to be arrogant anymore. Even if it is embarrassing, the reputation of Puella Magi Madoka Magica must be blackened.

Otherwise, the subsequent copyright income, sales, and peripheral sales of the three animations of Mechanical City, Dragon's Secret Treasure, and Throbbing will continue to be suppressed by Puella Magi Madoka Magica. ♦♦  ♦♦

This kind of thing does not need to be discussed, the three major animation companies have a tacit understanding.

[There is less than a week left before the release of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica theatrical version. Xiao Xue, a well-known animation critic, revealed that the production cycle of "Rebellion Story" is too short, and it is unlikely to be a high-quality theatrical animation. Xiao Xue suggested that the majority of animation fans should rationally follow the series and not blindly buy these animation peripherals and BD discs. ]

[Recently, animation fans in the mirror province found that the quality of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica BD animation disc they bought was blurry, and it was suspected that the production company cut corners and used inferior materials to make a high-priced limited edition animation BD. ]

[It is rumored that the real identity of the screenwriter of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, "Warrior of Love", is "Li Jian", a former well-known animation producer in Longguo who was disgraced by the train molestation incident five years ago. Our reporter once called the "Xia Tang" animation company, but the staff of the other party did not respond to this information. 】

【Magical Girl Madoka Magica is said to have plagiarized the popular animation "Cosmic Oasis" 23 years ago. The image of the heroine Madoka Magica is very similar to the character of the female supporting actress "Cute" in "Cosmic Oasis". 】

As the movie version of Madoka Magica is about to be released, all kinds of information can be said about the entire Dragon Country animation market.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica fans with a little bit of brains can tell at a glance that these remarks are deliberately slanderous.

But knowing is knowing, and seeing it is also annoying.

Especially when the plot of the main story of Madoka Magica is so good, the fans' mentality towards the movie version is also very complicated.

They are looking forward to it, but also panic, afraid that the Madoka Magica movie version will really "ruin the original work".

And people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat.

The popularity of Madoka Magica has indeed attracted a large number of fans for it.

But it must be said that this time Madoka Magica rose in the summer animation market by stepping on three works such as Mecha City, and the original works of these three works are all popular comics, novels and games, which also involves the online spray war between Madoka Magica fans and fans of the original works of these three works in the past few months.

It can be said that before the release of the Madoka Magica movie, many people were waiting to see the tragic death of this phenomenal animation movie.

The Jiuxiao Animation Forum was already a mess, with fans of Madoka Magica and various anti-fans madly blasting each other.

"Of course, it will definitely not die suddenly. With the current popularity of Madoka Magica, hundreds of thousands of people can buy the animation BDs for the content broadcast on TV, and as time goes by, it is certain that the BD volumes of this animation will exceed one million. Even if the theatrical animation is lame, it will definitely not be worse than this."

"How can it be compared with the sales of the first five volumes of Madoka Magica! This is a theatrical animation, and normally the sales of the BDs of the content broadcast on TV are more than twice. If it only breaks a million sales, isn't it a sudden death?"

"Can this be converted so easily?"

"Why not? After all, Madoka Magica is praised by a group of people in the animation industry. Oh my god, other animation works can easily achieve a sales difference of twice between TV content and theatrical content, so Madoka Magica can't do it, right? "

"No way, there can't be a so-called animation masterpiece that can't even achieve a sales difference of twice between TV and theatrical animation BD sales, right?"

"What I like to see most is the stubborn look of Madoka Magica fans, as if Madoka Magica is the best in the world. Since it is the best in the world, it should contribute to the sales of this animation theatrical animation BD. If it can't even achieve sales of 2 million copies, don't brag about it online in the future."

The logic of the black fans is to directly apply the data of those generally popular animations.

After all, the sales of original theatrical animated content will definitely be much higher than the sales of animated BDs that have been broadcast by TV stations.

But the problem is, Puella Magi Madoka Magica's TV animation content, which is the content that has been broadcast by the TV station, I am afraid that in a month or two, the average volume sales of the BD disc Dragon Kingdom will exceed one million. If converted according to this ratio, Magic Circle's animated BD disc must have sold at least two million copies?

No matter how loyal the magic round fan is, he feels a little unconfident at this time.

In the past five years, after the release of Dragon Kingdom's TV animation bd, the highest average sales volume of the work was 690,000 copies, while the highest sales volume of the theatrical animation bd was 1.82 million copies.

Of course, this data is not the highest in history, but it is meaningless to compare the highest data in history with current works.

Only the sales data in recent years can reflect the recent situation of the animation market.

Moreover, for Magic Circle, the CD sales of its TV content and theatrical version content are not a simple multiplication and division problem, and can be clearly converted by applying ratios.

For a generally popular work, if its TV broadcast animation BD can have an average sales volume of 100,000, then its theatrical animation has a sales volume of 200,000, which is normal data.

But this is not the case for Magic Circle.

Rather, we need to consider whether the entire market has this kind of consumption ability and whether there is such a size of the two-dimensional group that is willing to consume.

Xia Tang Animation Production Company.

Xia Yan looked away from the posts that fans were complaining about.

In fact, to be honest, Xia Yan can't predict the subsequent development of the Magic Circle animation until now.

But Xia Yan believes that the potential of the market is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In the parallel world island country, in a market where an anime can be considered a big hit if it can sell 10,000 volumes of BDs on average, Neon Genesis Evangelion can achieve a historical record sales of 700,000 BDs for the theatrical version.

That’s just a market of 100 million people.

The Dragon Kingdom has a population of more than one billion people.

As long as the quality of the work is good enough, anything is possible.

Xia Yan closed the laptop.

The time has come and he has to go for the interview.

Of course, it is not to be interviewed by others, but to interview others as the chairman of Xia Tang Animation Production Company and a well-known screenwriter in the Longguo animation industry as the "Love Warrior".

Outside the conference room of Xia Tang Animation Company, some well-known practitioners in the animation industry were waiting for invitation.

Xu Zhe, Lin Meng, Yan Ying, Mo Yiying.

They are all outstanding animation directors, screenwriters, and producers who have been very active in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

Why use the word "once" to describe it.

Explanation of high emotional intelligence: They are the kind of people who are very creative, but their career development has reached a bottleneck due to personal factors.

Explanation of low emotional intelligence: People who offend their superiors in the industry and have been marginalized by the original company in recent years. They have talents but have no chance to display them.

If Xia Yan's company wanted to strengthen its production team, it would definitely not be possible to directly poach top talents from other big companies.

No matter in terms of financial resources, company size, or influence in the industry, Xia Tang Animation is still too small and unattractive to others.

If Xia Yan wants to recruit people, he can only recruit those who are unsuccessful.

Of course, they had actually negotiated some detailed cooperation conditions with Xia Yan's people before coming here. The main purpose of coming this time was just to talk to the person in charge of Xia Tang Animation Production Company, the man in charge of Long Kingdom in recent months. Meet the "Love Warrior" who has an unparalleled reputation in the animation industry, but no one knows his true identity.

After all, if you don’t even know who your immediate boss is when you join the company, it’s impossible to join rashly.

The people waiting outside the conference room were feeling a little nervous now.

Who is that "love warrior"?

Soon, a group of people walked into the conference room, greeted by the company's front desk.

And when they saw the young man sitting in the middle of the conference room, many people were stunned.

"Xia Xiayan?"

There are also many people in the animation circle who like to read novels.

Moreover, many animation production companies are interested in the work Parasite Beast, and many people present recognized this talented novelist in the Dragon Kingdom light novel world.

Of course, some people know Xia Yan from the comic "Initial D" written by Xia Yan and Mo Ran.

"Hey, everyone, welcome to visit my company today."

Xia Yan looked at everyone and said with a smile.

your company?

Many people looked stunned.

But immediately, two people reacted and their expressions became exaggerated.
