Chapter 126 Blind Box Cards Have Become Dark
Just as Shax was thinking over and over about how to be horrible and sweet, the world recently tried a little new publicity and promotion under the inspiration of Lightyear's marketing model for the animation "The Necklace of the North Star".
"The Necklace of the North Star" has been popular so far, and the process of North Star's search for the 24 solar terms is approaching the middle and late stages, and Lightyear's peripherals have always been launching new products around the plot.
In addition to the conventional North Star necklace and solar term clothing, various exquisite and unusual three-dimensional stickers, a variety of stationery and even themed school bags, almost all the daily products that fans may use are caught in one net.
All fans of North Star can be seen at a glance on the way to school.
Carrying the same schoolbag as Beixing, the pendant is still Domi's plush ball, and the shoes may be printed with someone's favorite twelve solar terms.
It can only be said that the marketing planning of large corporate groups such as Lightyear is indeed well aware of the psychology of fans.
In addition, in the middle of the plot of "The Necklace of the North Star", a very cute and classic villain appeared, that is, Ella, who is completely opposite to Domi.
In the plot, Ella is a black plush ball, but Ella controls the power of the dark solar terms, so when Beixing retrieves the solar terms, she starts all kinds of snatching and obstruction.
But every time, she will fail in the end because of various reasons.
At first, the fans were quite angry about the appearance of this villain, but as a healing romantic fantasy work, "The Necklace of the North Star", Ella and the girl she chose, Zuoyue, are not really bad people.
As the plot unfolded little by little, many young viewers soon discovered that Ella actually has many lovely aspects.
For example, although she calls herself the evil master all day long, she actually likes to eat sweets very much. She often goes to the dessert shop to eat crazily. In the end, she was caught by the owner and asked Zuoyue, the rich girl, to pay the bill helplessly.
Moreover, Zuoyue, a proud girl, also has her own different shining points.
For example, she has extremely strict self-discipline requirements for herself, has always been ranked first in age, and has a personality that seems cold but is actually soft inside.
While competing with each other, the two also get to know each other better. In the latest episode, they met the guardian of the solar terms who was polluted and fell into a violent state, and even worked together!
It can be said that the continued rise of the plot of "The Necklace of the North Star" in the later period is closely related to the freshness and excitement brought by the appearance of the "villain characters" Zuo Yue and Ella.
The most amazing thing is that there is a group of crazy fans who like Zuo Yue, the ice beauty, and even the plush peripherals they buy are all Ella's black ball.
And they say that "blackening" is a very cool behavior!
"After all, it's adolescence, so 'blackened' and the like shouldn't be too popular. It's naturally hard to resist the dark side
of Ella. We can't let go of this part of the fans and we must win them over!" The person in charge of the Light Year Planning Department looked at the materials seriously, almost saying that he would market Mr. Fish Soup Noodle's work "North Star's Necklace" to the outer galaxy.
"But this 'villain' character is really interesting, and it completely complements the other side of North Star. Now no matter what kind of audience comes, they will always like one of them."
Another staff member also nodded repeatedly.
In fact, after the launch of "The Necklace of the North Star", although it has attracted the largest number of fans, many viewers who think they will never follow the crowd have said stubbornly: "This kind of plot is too romantic and fantasy, they don't like it."
Unexpectedly, the appearance of the dark character of Ella suddenly gave this part of the maverick audience a bright role.
The most bizarre thing is that as "The Necklace of the North Star" broke new ratings in the later period of its broadcast, Light Year also launched a limited-time and limited-edition blind box hand-made sales special.
Related blind boxes can be bought in major offline "The Necklace of the North Star" theme peripheral counters or cooperative shopping malls.
Once purchased and opened, you can randomly get a popular character figure from "The Necklace of the North Star".
As soon as Lightyear launched this blind box event, it directly set off the entire North Star fan circle again, and the situation was no less exciting than the first sale of the North Star necklace and dress.
And because blind boxes can be bought continuously, and you may not be able to draw your favorite character even if you buy a lot, many fans have since sunk into this blind box "pit" and started a painful and happy collection journey.
[Who knows, I bought ten in a row, and I got nine Fat Domi, kill me, I just want Beixing and Zuoyue wuwuwuwu]
[I want to draw the male god pair of Jingjing and Yushui, but I haven’t gotten any of them so far, although the others are also good, I’m also very distressed if I don’t push them (bald head)]
[Damn Lightyear, who on earth taught him to come up with a blind box! ? I can't help but buy two every day after work, and my sister's classmates in the same class are also drawing. It's terrible]
Especially in the campus where the density of Beixing fans is extremely high, the little fans have even formed a unique price chain by bartering.
For example, a Beixing figure and card can be exchanged for five Domi, or a pair of Rain and Shocking Snake can be exchanged for another pair of mirror twins such as Xiaoshu and Dashu.
In short, Beixing blind boxes were once so popular that school teachers had to clearly stipulate that blind box figures were not allowed in the classroom.
[However, how do you feel when you find out that students have collected more than me? I tried so hard to draw the bright and beautiful Xia Zhi, but I didn’t get three from our class monitor… He said he got them in exchange for helping with homework [dumb.jpg]]
In the process of teachers and student fans competing with each other, many interesting things happened. After all, many young teachers also watch "The Necklace of the North Star". As
soon as this post came out, everyone on the Star Network was quite happy about the misfortune.
[Tell your class monitor that the figure was stolen, teach him a lesson, and let him know the dangers of society (sinister sunglasses, it’s definitely not that I’m jealous of him because I didn’t draw Xia Zhi]
[It's so funny, I just confiscated it and enjoyed it myself, and I can return it at the end of the semester? I don't know why, I feel so bad for the kid hahaha]
[Is he going to tear the umbrella because he got caught in the rain? Hahaha? It turns out that the ghostwriting assignment can be changed to the summer solstice. If you had told me earlier, I would have gone first. College students are ghostwriting! TwT]
And Guangnian's hot marketing and promotion for "The Necklace of the North Star" made Huanyu ponder and reflect.
"Look, Mr. Yutangmian just wrote a script for them, and they can come up with so many tricks."
"Mr. Yutangmian has published so many works in Huanyu, why can't we think of launching some blind box lottery!"
After the editor-in-chief of Universal Group noticed this situation, he couldn't help but come to study and analyze countermeasures.
The chubby deputy editor wiped his sweat while listening and said that we must do it as soon as possible.
"Could we also do it? Buy a book and give away a Q version of the hand-made figures randomly."
"Of course, it's possible, but it seems that it's not easy to package."
"Why don't we put cards in it? Physical books will randomly come with various character cards that have never been seen before? This way, it doesn't take up space when it is sandwiched in the pages of the book, and it is more feasible."
As soon as one of the editors came up with the idea, it actually aroused a lot of interest in everyone.
"Isn't this a good opportunity? The eighth volume of "Reborn Star Soldier King" is about to be released, so we can start the experiment from here. Put the limited cards of Lin Mu, Colonel Bol, Officer Tucker, and Hiltan into the book and treat it as an extra collection."
"We can also study the craftsmanship and make it look better. It will also be beautiful and shocking when placed in the cabinet!"
Under the special approval priority of Huanyu, this batch of small card samples of "Star Soldier King" were quickly produced and placed on the long table in the conference room of the editorial department.
Each card is very exquisite. There are three cards for Lin Mu alone. The picture of each card is different, and the probability of winning is also different.
"Hey, if you collect the whole set, you can redeem a small card with the author Fish Soup Noodles' autographed photo as a hidden SSR. Isn't that amazing?"
Another young editor's speech made everyone in the conference hall look over in shock.
Ah, this is such a wicked idea.
"Just like other authors attending the Universal Annual Carnival before, how about pulling Fish Soup Noodles over to take a set of author promotional photos this time?"
A long time ago, when Fish Soup Noodles didn't show up, everyone regretted that Fish Soup Noodles never attended offline events, and thought it was because of some reason that it was inconvenient for him to meet people...
As a result, the screenshots of the live broadcast of his appearance that was immediately cut off after a few seconds were so popular that they went viral. If he held a card event, wouldn't it be a big hit?
"No, no, no, Mr. Fish Soup Noodles obviously won't agree, let's give up this idea."
Shax stopped everyone's thoughts immediately.
"You know, Director Gucci wanted to invite Mr. Fish Soup Noodles to play a supporting role in the movie "Eternal Night Rose", but Mr. Fish Soup Noodles didn't go at that time."
The whole audience immediately made a voice of extreme regret.
Speaking of which, why didn't Mr. Fish Soup Noodles try to be a star?
No, if he became a star, where would we find so many exciting novels to read!
And the eighth volume of "Reborn Star Soldier King" was also rushed to the market in response to the fans' overly intense calls.
"Hey... what's this thing that fell out?"
However, the first batch of fans who got the physical book in the bookstore found a card falling out of the book after they excitedly turned the pages. They
quickly picked it up from the ground and found that it was Lin Mu's character card.
The painting style is also very beautiful, and it will change its brilliance under the sun.
Lin Mu's character design after rebirth has always been a heroic boy. The character design on this card is also very vivid and handsome. He is wearing a legion combat uniform with a thin waist and long legs. The proportions are very cool. However,
there is a trace of determination in his eyes.
"Looks great, is this a gift?"
In fact, the card itself is nothing special, the key is -
"Wait, why is mine different! Damn it, this one of mine is... universe, I'm going to change my motherly love."
The book fan behind him drew a card of a young Lin Mu with a damaged character.
The boy's heroic eyebrows and eyes were splashed with blood, but he pulled out the sharp blade in his chest with unusual tenacity, and his eyes seemed to say uninhibitedly, "Do it again."
The artist also drew the muscle lines very smoothly and beautifully.
The thin layer of muscle combined with Lin Mu's long-term training body can easily make some of the mother fans of the King of Soldiers almost change their motherly love.
"Help, I like this one too. How can I collect both?"
As the saying goes, "It's not the lack of things that worries you, but the inequality of them; it's not the lack of things that worries you, but the differences." I didn't have the card faces that others had, and my desire to collect them suddenly rose.
Many fans of the Soldier King book who originally wanted to take them home to open them couldn't wait to open them on the spot, and there were exclamations one after another.
Although the worst thing was probably someone's cry of sorrow: "Fuck, how come Hiltan also has a small card!? Huanyu, I really want to call the police to arrest you!"
Even though Hiltan's villain small card face is elegant and handsome, it is no less than a bolt from the blue for the Soldier King fans who drew it.
And Huanyu's wave of small card tickets for the book blind box has played an unexpected role.
There was a situation before, that is, many fans of the book "Outer Star System" had difficulty in purchasing, so they would often ask someone to buy a book for them in areas where the copyright of the physical book of "Soldier King" had not yet been covered.
As a result, now there is only one genuine book and one character setting card...
The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"No wonder the sales of "Outer Star System" are also soaring this time. It's still interesting that Light Year's method is interesting. We should also think more about the interactive strategy of book fans in this regard in the future."
"Deputy Editor, your control of this card is too strict. We can't draw all the cards ourselves."
Although many editors soon expressed their grief, this thing really has no backdoor at all?
"Things involving internal personnel and fairness must always be strictly controlled."
Shax himself also drew several duplicates. He even went to a second-hand shopping website the day after the release and found that the prices of many rare cards were more expensive than the original book of "Star Soldier King".
Especially Lin Mu's battle-damaged card, it was indeed very tempting.
As for Yu Mian, after learning about the giveaway event of Huanyu, he also smiled and felt that everyone in the Star Age seemed to be playing more and more.
Who can resist buying this?
Collect all of them and show them on the Star Network. The likes will exceed 10,000 in a few minutes.
In this wave of card display trend, Yu Mian is convinced that there are indeed many people from all walks of life among his book fans.
A daughter of a computer manufacturing group who is very famous in the interstellar world showed off the soldier king cards she had collected so far.
She bought a whole room of physical books and generously gave them to fans for raffles.
There are also people like Ernis, who are like Grandet crabs. They are unwilling to give up duplicate cards and put them all in the study to count the collection progress.
Of course, the plot of the eighth volume itself also made many fans feel thrilling and addicted.
After Lin Mu successfully entered the Marshal's Mansion, he was soon noticed by Hiltan and approached, but Lin Mu always remained a little wary of Hiltan.
During the years of secret and difficult revenge, Lin Mu finally found the office where the Bol Army Commander was and sneaked in.
The office had been completely sealed, and the inside was in a mess. Even the medal display stand that the Bol Army Commander once cherished the most was smashed to the ground.
Lin Mu felt sad, and he didn't even dare to clean up the mess for the Bol Army Commander for fear of being discovered. Instead, he forbearingly opened a safe hidden in a hidden place.
This is the secret safe that the Bol Army Commander told Lin Mu before his death. He told Lin Mu that some of the things in it might be related to your life experience, but it is not the right time yet. You need to have a higher level of authority to open it.
Unexpectedly, when he opened it again, everything had changed.
As Lin Mu flipped through the materials about "Star Core Plunder", his veins popped out more and more, because this showed that the people who had taken away his star core were most likely the powerful figures of the time.
Hiltan was undoubtedly one of them, even though Hiltan himself was demoted for three years because of the death of the head of the Bol Army.
But for some reason, every time Lin Mu looked at Hiltan, he felt an unspeakable chill.
The more perfect a person's personality is, the more false it feels.
As for Hiltan, he had no idea that his biggest enemy was chosen by himself to be by his side.
Therefore, with Lin Mu's increasingly outstanding performance and his taciturn and reliable appearance, Hiltan's admiration and trust in Lin Mu increased.
He even thought that when his only son Guston returned from the outer galaxy with enough military merit, he might arrange Lin Mu to be Guston's personal attendant.
Then it would be very necessary to give Lin Mu enough military titles and corresponding status and authority.
So under Hilltan's deliberate cultivation of confidants, the disguised Lin Mu got closer and closer to the core secrets of the Marshal's Mansion.
But in the eyes of the people in the Marshal's Mansion who were unaware of the situation, Lin Mu, the orphan, was simply lucky. After being noticed by Hilltan, who always looked down on others, his military career soared.
The key is that this guy also has some strange skills, and the soldiers under his command are actually very convinced of him.
At one time, the rumors were getting more and more mysterious. Guston, who was about to return from the outer galaxy, heard that his father seemed to be particularly fond of a young genius.
Not only did his performance in all aspects far exceed his own, but even the top-level mecha that he had always wanted was given to him by his father.
Guston smashed the wine glass in his hand, ignoring the obstruction of the deputy general beside him, and said that he had to go back in advance to take a look.
After all, Guston always knew that his father was very disappointed with his talent, and the appearance of Lin Mu undoubtedly made Guston feel a great sense of crisis.
At the same time, Lin Mu, who had once again led the team to complete an important military mission and was completely trusted by Hilltan, had just obtained the authority of the temporary study and came to take away a piece of material.
But Lin Mu's pupils were shocked as he looked at a top-secret document in the study.
How could the materials on General Bohr and the Seventh Army be collected so completely here? Even the time of the cosmic storm...
Lin Mu was about to turn to the second page when someone knocked on the study door.
The other party informed Lin Mu that Master Guston had returned and asked to see him.
Lin Mu closed the materials immediately and pretended to be calm
before leaving the study. Guston, who was sitting in the middle of the hall with his legs crossed, had an extremely arrogant look on his face, but the moment he saw Lin Mu, his expression suddenly changed.
"You are the one... Uh!"
Guston covered his chest in surprise. Why did his star core move abnormally? "
Help, don't stop here, please!"
In fact, when reading to the eighth volume, countless Soldier King fans felt their scalps tingling subconsciously, fearing that the eighth volume would be stuck here.
Is Guston going to find out the truth about Lin Mu's disguise and fake death at a glance? It was not
until they touched the remaining pages that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
For the universe, there are only the last few pages!
Did Mr. Fish Soup Noodle suddenly have a conscience this time? Could it be that he knew that he would be beaten by Mortal Kombat offline?
At this critical moment, Mr. Hatcher suddenly asked Lin Mu to use his mental power to completely protect his current pseudo-nuclear concealed aura. Although Lin Mu didn't know why, he immediately did it.
As expected, Guston only felt that the star core suddenly disappeared, and then he felt a panic that he couldn't stand Lin Mu.
The star core felt uncomfortable, but it was difficult to describe the strange feeling.
Guston thought that since Lin Mu made him feel uncomfortable, he might as well kill Lin Mu. After all, the death of a few people was not a big deal.
But just when Guston was about to give the order to take action, Marshal Hilltan, who had hurried back, sternly stopped this farce! He
directly ordered Lin Mu to leave first, and after Lin Mu and Guston looked at each other, they left without saying a word.
In the study room where the father and son were alone, Hilltan looked at Guston who was cunningly arguing with an extremely disappointed look.
The more Guston talked about his physical abnormalities, the more impatiently Hiltan rubbed his forehead.
He was clearly trying to train a loyal and sharp sword for this useless only son, but Guston was so stupid that he couldn't even see this point and had no ability to lead.
"Are you uncomfortable with the star core, or are you just jealous that an orphan can do better than you?"
When Hiltan said this, Guston, who was covering his chest, lost his voice and his face turned pale. 】
【End of the eighth volume】
The eighth volume of "Reborn Star Soldier King" just happened to end here.
This ending can be said to be extremely unexpected, but it inexplicably makes people feel refreshed and relieved!
"Haha, the ending of the eighth volume is so weird and cool. Guston is so miserable. It's obviously the real star core, but he feels something is wrong. But his father doesn't believe it and even thinks Lin Mu is innocent. It's so funny."
The fans of the King of Soldiers holding the book offline almost laughed at the father and son.
Hiltan always thought his son was stupid, but he never thought that the only time his son told the truth, he would never believe him again.
He also thought that Guston deliberately used the star core as an excuse to get rid of Lin Mu.
"Damn it, it's such a thick book, but it's not enough to read. The disagreement between Hiltan and his son is a good opportunity for Lin Mu to track down clues. I think Teacher Hatcher must have realized that something is wrong!"
"Although Hiltan didn't believe it this time, if there is really a problem with Guston's star core, then the key evidence points to Lin Mu... It's tense and exciting. When will the ninth volume come out?" There
were countless cries of grief at the same time. People just couldn't get enough of Teacher Yutangmian's novels.
And now they have to collect small cards while waiting for the update of the ninth volume. This is really too sad.
But Yu Mian is quite satisfied.
Now that they have been sold in advance and the campus exchange meeting is being held, no one will want to play fish soup noodles offline?
"And I am not seasick and I am not afraid of water."
Facing the confirmation of President Charles, Yu Mian nodded directly to confirm.
"That's good, otherwise I am afraid that the surprises prepared by the students may not be available to you, haha."
President Charles was relieved after hearing this.
When Yu Mian saw the pleasure boat with his own eyes, he was really surprised.
"Is this really made by the students themselves? So shocking."
It is almost the same as the scenic pleasure boats on Earth.
Huo Ting, who was walking behind Yu Mian, frowned subconsciously and looked at the mechanical power device of the homemade painting boat: "Is the carrying capacity sufficient?"
"It should be sufficient. We are afraid that the situation will be chaotic if we can't take care of it, so we only have 25 places in total."
"The specific content of the novel creation exchange will be written into a press release and released. Everyone can see it, which is enough for them to learn."
Principal Charles spoke enthusiastically, and the person in charge next to him looked strange.
Let's just assume that the fish soup noodle teacher didn't know that everyone almost fought because they grabbed the last ticket that day. After all,
are the contents of the press releases on the Internet and face-to-face exchanges with real people really comparable?
The original plan was 20, but in the end it became 25.
"Fish Soup Noodle Teacher——"
"Wow, he's really here!"
"Come over quickly, the principal and the others have picked up the fish soup noodle teacher!"
As Yu Mian, still wearing a mask and a hat, appeared at the scene of the painting boat novel literature exchange meeting under the leadership of Principal Charles, everyone on the ship noticed that they were already excited.
"Hey, hey, stop crowding towards the bow and shouting for help, do you really think this is some kind of high-end ship?"
Only the poor bug in the control room wanted to throw away the steering wheel and run over to see the real fish soup noodle teacher, but at the same time he found that something seemed to have happened to the hull.
Why does it feel like it's getting more and more crooked?
"Be careful! Everyone, don't run over here yet, go over in groups."
Yu Mian's eyes widened slightly under the brim of his hat, because from the perspective of the shore, the entire pleasure boat was about to take in water.
"What, the fish soup noodle teacher is greeting us?"
"Is that the fish soup noodle teacher, the one wearing a mask?"
"Be quiet, everyone, the boat has capsized, help!"
However, it would have been better if Yu Mian didn't say anything, because once he spoke, the situation became more serious.
Even Principal Charles was anxiously trying to organize people to go into the water to save people.
When Yu Mian was about to go over to help, Huo Ting pulled his wrist to remind him.
