On the morning of October 31st, Miyata came to China from Japan, exhausted.
After seeing the children delivering their gifts, Miyata ran to the office in the villa without saying a word.
He looked like he had taken some drugs, his face was flushed and he looked extremely excited.
November 1st was a very memorable and meaningful day for him.
after all!
It’s finally time to begin!
"Naruto" and "Bleach", two anime that have been prepared for a long time, will finally be released on this day!
He has very high expectations for these two anime.
Although the situation of Omoto Animation Company's animation in China has plummeted since the "I Am a Hero" incident, and several animations have not yet passed the review, many young people's hot-blooded animations from other Japanese animation companies have begun to emerge in China like mushrooms after rain.
Everyone hopes that their anime can attract fans of "I Am a Hero" and reach the same heights as "I Am a Hero".
However, although many animation companies are working hard to promote their animations in Japan and China, from that incident to now, no animation has ever reached the heights of "I Am a Hero"...
Basically, today you are the most popular, and tomorrow my anime is the most popular. It seems very conspicuous, but it is basically a rotation of the emperors. No one anime is truly a big hit and has dominance.
so……
Miyata sees Bleach and Naruto as hope. Based on his analysis of various aspects, including the popularity of the comics of these two anime in Japan and the popularity of the comics in China, he has discovered that these two anime are very likely to reach the heights of I Am a Hero...
etc!
Not very likely to be achieved, but...
Beyond "I Am a Hero"!
So, here he comes.
In Japan, the promotion of these two anime is very popular, and all anime fans are naturally looking forward to it. On the Chinese side, Miyata naturally knows that he needs Lu Yuan's help to promote it...
He was very relieved.
After all, with Lu Yuan's current influence, even if he farts, it can make a different sound internationally.
Promoting your own anime?
Isn’t this a piece of cake?
…
In the villa's office.
"What's wrong? Lu Yuanjun..."
"nothing."
"oh."
After Lu Yuan looked at the pile of schedules and information sheets that Miyata sent him, he silently looked at the falling leaves outside the window.
It’s autumn!
At this moment, his mood was somewhat complicated.
He was very emotional.
It's not a big problem that "Bleach" and "Naruto" premiered on the same day.
It is not uncommon for a company to compete with its own company. For example, the previous movie was made in this way, and the effect was quite good.
Well, another anime that will be broadcast on November 1st is "Year Hare Affair".
Three animes compete...
The gimmick should be quite enough.
But what about Star Wars?
Then Lu Yuan thought of the "Star Wars" premiere in Hollywood in November.
This movie also needs some promotion, right?
So here comes the question.
What should you do? Or, which side should you focus on?
Whether it is China, the United States, Japan or other countries, no matter what kind of media and social platform, there is only one place at the top of the popularity list.
When one side becomes increasingly popular, the attention paid to the other side will inevitably decrease.
Then……
Lu Yuan suddenly felt very conflicted.
After all, the palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh.
It's not a good thing to suppress the popularity of any aspect, and the huge popularity of "Titanic", "Final Destination" and "The Truman Show" plus the recent birth of his own child is still there...
I have done so much in October.
Even if he promoted the release of animation and movies on Weibo as he did before, Lu Yuan felt that the effect was far less impressive than before, and it might not even surpass the popularity of the three movies such as "Titanic" or even his two children.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took another deep breath.
Lu Yuan finally realized the true meaning of the sentence: The biggest opponent in this world is not others but himself.
Damn it!
Now he is completely competing with himself for popularity, okay?
That's fucked up.
"Mr. Miyata." After looking out the window, Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at Miyata next to him.
"Yes, Lu Yuanjun."
"How about postponing the premiere of the anime?"
"Why? Lu Yuanjun, what happened?" Miyata was stunned when he heard this.
"I am deeply aware of the fear of being dominated by myself!"
"???"
Seeing Lu Yuan say this with a deep and serious expression, Gong Tian felt as if he was crushed by thousands of alpacas...
He had to admit that Lu Yuan's move really impressed him.
I don’t know why…
I really want to hit someone.
"So, I think we should postpone it?"
"Lu Yuanjun, no! We can't be such dishonest people. We have already officially announced the premiere date of the anime, and all platforms have been negotiated. In addition, there are various publicity channels... I can't do this. There is a saying in China that goes, 'A man without integrity cannot stand.' I think it's not good to change the plan suddenly like this..." Miyata became very serious when he said this.
"Ahem, ahem, yes, I was just talking casually. Actually, I am a man of my word." Miyata's righteous words and serious look made Lu Yuan feel ashamed.
His old face flushed.
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Lu Yuan, I'll leave China's Bleach and Naruto in your hands!" Miyata then bowed to Lu Yuan very seriously, and his eyes flashed with an indescribable enthusiasm like a madman: "I hope they can become milestones in the history of anime. I am very confident in these two anime, and Mr. Lu Yuan will become an existence that no one in the history of anime can surpass..."
“…”
Lu Yuan was stunned by such a big hat.
He felt his head buzzing.
…
Miyata is gone.
Flying back to R again.
After looking at the various topics about his children on the Internet, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
At this moment he felt that his mind was still a little messy.
Tomorrow is the day when movies and animation will be broadcast. If I don’t figure out a suitable method to suppress the heat now, then the popularity of my animation and movies will definitely not be enough.
So……
What should I do to make it effective?
He opened Weibo and looked at the countless messages below.
Then……
His eyes lit up!
But then there was a little hesitation.
Is this really possible?
…
Xiaolang Yiquan had a very difficult life in R.
Ever since the "I Am a Hero" incident, this anime has completely lost its market in China.
Although "I Am a Hero" is still very popular in Japan, he is still very unhappy about this huge gap.
He is finished.
October 31st at 8pm.
He turned on his computer and saw that the Japanese anime circle was promoting news about "Bleach" and "Naruto". Especially when he saw the title "Two anime that are about to surpass "I Am a Hero", he clenched his fists instantly!
"Surpassing I Am A Hero? What kind of rubbish anime can surpass I Am A Hero?"
"What a joke!"
"Rubbish! All rubbish! Do you think you can surpass the legend I created?"
"Rubbish!"
His hair was disheveled and his eyes were red as he stared at the screen.
Although "I Am a Hero" has become a flop!
but……
In his opinion, the records and terrifying achievements created by "I Am a Hero" can never be compared with any other animation!
Especially this Chinese anime!
I am in this situation now because of this Chinese guy!
It’s all because of the Chinese people, otherwise, I wouldn’t be like this.
so……
How could his rubbish anime surpass mine!
Xiaolang Yiquan gritted his teeth!
The more he looked at the promotional headlines on the Internet, the more he felt that these people were shameless.
Finally, he couldn't help but post these words on his personal website!
"I am very serious and I sincerely hope that some people will not shamelessly use "I Am a Hero" as a stepping stone to ride on the popularity of "I Am a Hero"! In my opinion, this is shameless and has no bottom line. Besides, the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life is your so-called surpassing "I Am a Hero"... I hope this is a short-lived joke, not the biggest joke of this century..."
The moment after sending this message, Xiaolang Yiquan felt something was not right, so he immediately deleted the original text.
However, his words were still captured by someone who was following him.
Then, it seemed like a storm was coming.
…
China.
One o'clock in the morning on November 1st.
This is a time when night owls are having fun and normal people are just falling asleep and dreaming.
Then……
Before anyone could react, Lu Yuan’s Weibo was suddenly updated!
"Today, it is very difficult for me. I am very heavy-hearted to announce something that may have a certain impact on my future career. Well, no, maybe not just one thing, maybe several things!"
"Actually, I don't like fancy things. I'm a very serious and shy person. At the same time, I really hope that my family can be ordinary and common..."
"First of all, I hope everyone will not pay too much attention to my children. Really, they are not geniuses, nor stars, nor big shots. They are just ordinary children. Everyone keeps asking which teacher the children will choose. Actually, I don't know either. I hope the children can make their own choices..."
"The second thing, this may be the key point, and it is also very important!"
“…”
“…”
