Chapter 632 Three Years, Going Your Own Way
The first season of the animated series "Journey to the West" was well received.
Here we can see the contrast between the communication influence of film and television dramas and that of books.
If "Journey to the West" only sold books, it would definitely not have the influence it has now.
It's against the will of heaven.
Before the animated series "Journey to the West" was broadcast, the sales of the book "Journey to the West" had already broken records, but who would have thought that once the animated series was broadcast, the sales would explode even more.
At present, "Journey to the West" is in full bloom.
The complete book of "Journey to the West" has been released, and a hardcover edition has been released, so countless people are recommending the book and saying that if they want to buy it, they should buy the complete set.
Secondly, the comic version of "Journey to the West" has also been released. The comics can be said to be divided into those for adults and those for children, but quite a lot of people have bought these two versions.
Secondly, there are primary and secondary school students, and another group is high school and college students. Some of these people buy the comic version, but some also buy the original version.
Basically, the IP of "Journey to the West" has begun to show its power.
Now, many people in Animation House no longer say that Baiqian Media is making trouble. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the second season of "Journey to the West".
You know, no matter when it starts, the first season is always pretty good, but the second season tends to be slow. Some are not only slow, but even straight up garbage.
kindness.
The first season was great, the second season was garbage.
This is very common in the industry.
This has also happened in cartoons.
So who can guarantee that the second season of Journey to the West will not be like this? ?
It seems that the second season of the dramas produced by Baiqian Media are generally not very good.
That's exactly why everyone is not very confident about the second season of the "Journey to the West" animation.
Yu Xiaoshu has made mistakes before.
At present, the complete version of the original "Journey to the West" has been released. So no matter from which aspect, the original "Journey to the West" did not have a bad ending. There are even more discussions about the original "Journey to the West".
I won’t talk about the children’s version, let’s just talk about the original.
Many people think that "Journey to the West" is a seemingly positive novel about gods and demons. The reason I say "seemingly" here is because everyone believes that "Journey to the West" is actually full of darkness when you think about it carefully.
Take the journey of Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Most monsters would be killed at will, but the monsters with backing were directly taken away by gods no matter how much they had done, with almost no damage.
There is also the episode about the real and fake Sun Wukong. Many people believe that the real Sun Wukong had actually been beaten to death a long time ago, and it was the fake Sun Wukong who later accompanied Tang Seng to the West to obtain the scriptures.
Although this interpretation seems bold, it is actually well-founded and reasonable.
There are many other interpretations.
In short, every interpretation seems to be normal, and everyone thinks that these interpretations are spontaneous from the audience. But to be honest, under such interpretations, the discussion heat about "Journey to the West" naturally soared further.
In this way, the sales of "Journey to the West" are also rising steadily.
Everyone thinks that the animation "Journey to the West" can bring such a big effect, so if the TV series or movie of "Journey to the West" is also broadcast at that time, how big will the effect be? ?
After a month of continuous fermentation, basically all the hot searches and some other aspects are discussing "Journey to the West".
The effect is amazing.
Such a good effect naturally makes everyone look forward to the next IP development of "Journey to the West".
As Yu Xiaoshu said before, the "Journey to the West" IP will have an animated film during this year's Lunar New Year holiday.
Before, people didn’t think much of it, and some even thought that Yu Xiaoshu’s proposal to release the animated adaptation of Journey to the West during the Lunar New Year holiday was arrogant.
After all, where is the opportunity?
But I never expected this.
Who would have thought that the first season of the animated series "Journey to the West" would be such a huge success? According to Baiqian Media's current statement, the second season will start during the National Day holiday.
And the second season will be the final season.
This means that there may be more episodes in the second season of the animation.
Of course, for the current video websites and TV stations, they don’t care how many episodes there are in the second season of the M cartoon, and they don’t even care how much the second season costs.
Because they only want to do one thing.
That is the hope to buy the exclusive broadcast rights for the second episode.
Qidong TV has contacted Yu Xiaoshu frequently in the past month, and has even mentioned it many times, both openly and secretly.
Their idea is really too simple.
In a word, Teacher Yu, you can name a price, and I will buy it at any price.
For Yu Xiaoshu, he likes the expression Qidong Satellite TV. In the future, when he really acquires Hongxing Satellite TV, he might be besieged by many people. At that time, he will need strategic cooperation.
You see, Yu Xiaoshu currently has no chance to acquire Hongxing Satellite TV, so he is thinking about the future first.
Take one step, look two steps ahead, and think three steps ahead. This is what Yu Xiaoshu often does.
So, we agreed with Qidong TV in advance that if an animated series of Journey to the West was released, the TV copyright would definitely be given to Qidong TV.
This news also leaked out, causing other TV stations to give up.
The TV broadcasting rights have been confirmed, but the Internet broadcasting rights have not yet been confirmed.
Xiaoma Video wanted to contact Yu Xiaoshu first. After all, in Xiaoma Video's view, everyone had a pleasant cooperation before.
But Yu Xiaoshu finally refused.
It's very simple. He plans to continue to put the online broadcasting rights of the second season of "Journey to the West" on his own social platform and then promote it for free.
Because of the huge success of the first season, it can be said that it has brought a lot of guidance to Yu Xiaoshu’s social platform.
Under such circumstances, everyone thinks it is normal for Yu Xiaoshu to choose to direct traffic to his own platform.
But no one took it seriously.
How many dramas does Baiqian Media have? ?
Besides, Baiqian Media wants to defeat other video websites by relying on Yu Xiaoshu, a social platform? ?
If Yu Xiaoshu really said that, he would think it was a joke.
Forget about the three major video websites, let’s just talk about Xiaoma Video. How many billions have they burned over the years? ?
Yu Xiaoshu’s social platform has never spent much money.
Do you think you can turn the tide just by starring in a few dramas? ?
Does not exist.
What Yu Xiaoshu has to do now is a long-term plan.
In three years, he will acquire Hongxing Satellite TV, establish Baiqian TV, and then establish Baiqian Music at the same time. He wants to walk his own path.
No one at Baiqian Media knows about this.
If they knew about this, they would probably think Yu Xiaoshu was crazy.
Let’s not talk about the acquisition of Hongxing TV. Nowadays, all video websites are loss-making. At this time, they want to start another video website, not to mention starting a music website. Isn’t this crazy? ?
For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu felt that there were some things that he could do alone.
In fact, the negotiations with Hongxing TV have made some progress.
It is obvious that Hongxing Satellite TV is now suffering from heavy losses, and Hong Tianfang has been almost persuaded by the people around him.
To put it simply, your current TV station is no longer popular, so don't think about anything else at this time.
If you can sell it one day earlier, you can get the money one day earlier.
Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get this land again.
Hong Tianfang is not a fool. He certainly asked someone to do an assessment and even consulted many professionals.
And basically, the answer I gave him was pretty much the same.
Basically, if you can take action, do it quickly.
Today's TV stations are already considered negative assets.
It's really hard to make a profit.
Not to mention that Hongxing Satellite TV can no longer pay salaries, and many employees' salaries are basically unable to be paid. At this time, there is an even more critical point, that is, more people feel that Hongxing Satellite TV has no future.
In just this one year, Hongxing TV has changed its staff several times.
At present, Hongxing Satellite TV has sold everything that can be sold, and even scam ads can be put up in the advertising space, as long as money is paid.
Nowadays, even if Hongxing TV has money, it cannot buy high-quality dramas.
Because basically he has no character left, and his moral integrity has almost disappeared.
Under such circumstances, Hong Tianfang actually couldn't hold on for much longer.
Don't be in a hurry.
When Yu Xiaoshu received the call, he smiled and said, "We still have a chance."
Next, when many people felt that the popularity of "Journey to the West" was almost over, after all, the discussion about it was almost over. Unless the first season of the "Journey to the West" animation came out, there would probably not be any popularity.
What I didn’t expect was that the second fantasy novel by ‘Second in the World’ came out.
"Thank you for your love for Journey to the West. The success of the fantasy novel is inseparable from everyone's joint efforts. So my second fantasy novel Journey to the East will be published soon. I hope you will like it."
…
You should know that 'Second in the World' has actually gained a lot of followers in the past two months.
After all, he is also one of the biggest winners.
After reading the original adaptation of Journey to the West by Yu Xiaoshu, many people went to buy the original novel, and the author of the original novel was "The Second Best in the World".
Who in the world doesn’t know you?
Just like what was written before 'The Second in the World', if I am called 'The Second in the World', then no one dares to call themselves 'The First in the World'.
How to say it? ?
Many people used to think that the name "Di Er Tian Xia" was a bit arrogant, and after all, he was even more arrogant when he said that.
But now, once a mythological novel like "Journey to the West" is released, it has basically become the number one mythological novel.
Who can not accept it? ?
What is the result? ?
This was immediately followed by another work called "Journey to the East".
Good job.
Of course, the comments below were all hilarious.
"Oh my god, the author is really awesome. Is he going to write 'Journey to the South' or 'Journey to the North' next?"
"I never thought that besides Journey to the West, there would be Journey to the East?"
"Can you tell me what this Journey to the East is mainly about?"
…
Naturally, everyone had some discussions.
This discussion, to a large extent, also represents the voice of the audience.
That makes sense.
It's very simple.
It's totally a bit hard to believe.
The "unbelievable" here means that the "Second in the World" is going to rest on its laurels???
Because if you don’t want to rely on your old capital, then why give it such a name? ?
Do I consume my own traffic?
Many people are a little confused.
The Second Under Heaven has always been a rather mysterious author. He neither accepts interviews nor so-called exposure and book signing sessions. Even now, you don’t know whether the Second Under Heaven is a man or a woman.
But none of this matters.
The same thing.
The author is not important.
What really matters is the book.
All you need to do is read the book, and don't worry too much about anything else.
As the IP of the novel "Journey to the West" becomes more and more influential, many people's admiration for "the second best in the world" is also rising.
The first among gods and demons.
Many people thought this title was a bit exaggerated before.
But now.
Everyone felt that it was not an exaggeration at all, and some even thought it was absolutely right.
So, do you usually need to take a break after writing a novel?
Creation is like overdrawing your body. Sometimes, when it is late at night and everyone is asleep, you will feel that your body is hollowed out. This is the price of creation.
Many creators can relate to this.
And then in such a situation.
The second best person in the world didn't even have time to rest, but he started writing his second novel.
It's not about creating it, it's already been created.
What’s more important is that it will be on the market in three days.
The promotion has obviously already begun.
This doesn't make sense.
How come this 'Second in the World' has such a burst of creation? ?
He is not a pervert like Yu Xiaoshu, who has strong and persistent creative ability.
Or how many perverts like Yu Xiaoshu are there?
Then everyone thought that the 'second in the world' would definitely rely on its past achievements.
Three days later, even though everyone thought that the second best book in the world would be relegated to poverty, many people were still prepared to buy one.
The reason is very simple. It is because of the success of "Journey to the West" that everyone feels that they should support the new book of the second best in the world no matter what. What if his new book is good?
Because of this, people started watching "Journey to the East".
This time, the first batch of "Journey to the East" was reprinted with 3 million copies, which is close to the number of platinum authors.
As a result, many people still underestimated the subsequent influence of "Journey to the West".
All 3 million copies were sold out in just one day.
The data released the next day made everyone in the Gods and Demons Novel Forum excited.
"Let me see, let me see who the hell is saying that the fantasy novels are dead, and we finally understand the feelings of science fiction fans."
