Chapter 53, Chapter 53
As the first season of "My Hero Academia" is coming to an end, the official Weibo of Huaying Animation and the official Weibo of Yueqi Video simultaneously released a message:
Yueqi Video v: Warmly celebrate the online subscription of "My Hero Academia" reaching 500,000!
Huaying Animation v: As of 10 o'clock this morning, the total subscriptions of Huaying Animation's work "My Hero Academia" has officially exceeded 500,000! Thank you all viewers and friends for your continued support. In the following days, Huaying Animation
We will continue to work hard to produce more interesting animations and bring more joy and excitement to everyone!
"Congratulations on sales exceeding 500,000!"
"Congratulations to Huaying! I look forward to seeing more good works like Woying's in the future!"
“At first I didn’t think that 500,000 sales was anything, until I checked the online subscriptions of various popular animations in history... I was shocked! This data is almost twice that of other popular animation works.
?The only one that is not twice as good is Huaying's "is". Does this count as 'the only one who can defeat me is myself'?"
"6666666! I'm sorry for Huaying. If we judge whether it is a hit or not based on Woying's subscription standards, will we still be able to watch hit animations in the future?"
…
For this Weibo, ordinary viewers will be surprised at most and then pass. After all, they are watching animation. No matter how high the sales volume is, the viewers who like Woying will be happy at most. The melon-eaters will sigh and leave.
.
But for people who are also in the animation production industry, its impact is as big as an earthquake!
For a long time, many people only knew about the explosion of online subscriptions for "My Hero Academia", but did not know the specific amount. They only vaguely knew that the sales volume of this hot-blooded boy manga seemed to have surpassed the previous work of the animation.
"is", when Huaying Animation and Yueqi Video announced the exact sales volume of "My Hero Academia" at the same time, most of the people who saw this Weibo fell into silence.
When the sales of "is" exploded, Huaying Animation was regarded by peers in the industry as just a small workshop that got lucky and made animations that happened to cater to the needs of the audience.
When "My Hero Academia" came out, they couldn't sit still!
500,000, what is this concept?
You know, before Huaying Animation's "is" was released, the online animation's 200,000 subscriptions could be said to be a big hit. "My Hero Academia" was even more terrifying. It doubled the basic data of the original big hit.
More than twice as much!
It may be a coincidence that the same animation company can produce a high-selling work, but two consecutive animation works have broken industry sales records, and even pushed the subscription record to a height that is difficult for ordinary animations to reach... This
Could it still be a coincidence?
During the "is" period, they could also criticize "the animation is superficial and vulgar", "only shameless production companies would choose to produce this kind of animation", "cancer in the industry", etc. However, with the "is", "My Hero"
Academy" has become a hit one after another, and no matter how experienced the producer is, he can only choose to keep his mouth shut.
The achievements of the two animations are already there, and the style itself is also a commercial animation. At this time, if you criticize Huaying animation for being nerdy, in the eyes of others, it will be sour grapes.
While some people are still stunned by the sales of Huaying, other people have begun to analyze and study the strengths of "My Hero Academia" and think about how to effectively follow the trend and get a share of the soup behind Huaying.
Already.
Countless meetings were held at various large and small animation production companies in Blue Star. The theme of the meetings was only one: Why is "My Hero Academia" successful? What is its selling point? In what direction should we try and work hard in future animation production?
Qianli animation, conference room.
"I think Huaying is doing the right thing, not only for shounen comics, but I think except for animations like harem comics where it is really difficult to have female fans, when we make other types of animations, we should learn to consider the female market. After all,
The purchasing power of women is no worse than that of male viewers.”
"I agree."
"I think by analogy, this concept is also true in reverse - for example, if we want to make an animation with women as the main characters, we can also give due consideration to the views of male audiences while satisfying the female audience.
The target group should not be limited to a certain gender."
"There are also characters. The success of "My Hero Academia" is inseparable from the characters of several popular characters..."
"Yes, and..."
——
One month later, the first season of "My Hero Academia" came to a successful conclusion. The keyword of its ending was directly searched on Weibo. At the same time, various comment videos related to this animation and the painting animation behind it were posted.
, also popped up like mushrooms after a rain, but the producers who made these videos were themselves famous up-makers of Yueqi Video. For a while, "My Hero Academia" almost dominated the charts of Yueqi Video.
.
Chuyang Zhaoxue: "The pace is fast, the overall style is very bright, the atmosphere is created well, the sense of substitution is particularly strong, and each character has its own characteristics, and the girls are also very cute!"
"There are no female characters in scantily clad clothing, nor are female characters with ridiculously plump figures to attract attention. There are only down-to-earth efforts, persistence in chasing dreams, and heroes who are as dazzling as the sun. It is truly a shounen manga worthy of the name!"
A Sturgeon: "Some people say that the character design of "My Hero Academia" has been designed to please the audience from the very beginning, so when talking about Wo Ying, some people always want to criticize it and say that it deliberately pleases female fans. I
I think this statement is really strange, as if it is a shameful thing for an animation to cater too much to the main group of otakus and otakus. But if a commercial animation is not designed to make the people who watch it feel happy, it will
To gain entertainment and enjoyment, what’s the point of this commercial animation?”
Miaoyu: "Indeed, there is nothing commendable in "My Hero Academia", but what I like is precisely that it is not heavy, does not deliberately add depth and connotation, and is not so bitter and hateful.
The story of a group of very cute teenagers and girls pursuing their dreams through their own efforts - I think this is good enough."
…
At the same time, in a section of the animation forum with less traffic.
I have to say that from "The Little Prince" to "IS" and then to "My Hero Academia", Huaying Animation, or the fan base of Mujie Star, is actually quite diverse.
There are fans who like him because of his dubbing in "The Little Prince", there are otakus who like harem comics like "is", and there are animation fans who love him because they like "My Hero Academia". Of course, there are also both
Fans who don't like "is" and have no feelings for "My Hero Academia", but are obsessed with his delicate and implicit emotional paintings and fantasy and beautiful expressions in "The Little Prince".
The fans gathered in this niche section are exactly the latter.
Topic: Have you seen Xingxing’s new work?
Content: I ran to catch up on it when I was bored, and contributed a subscription by the way. I feel that it is good for entertainment.
Floor 1: It is said that online subscription is very good, but I haven’t watched it because I don’t really like this type of animation.
Floor 2: Today when I was playing "Know", I saw the sweet wine boss ran to complain about Xingxing's new work again. Is this considered a natural black color after being deeply pink?
3rd floor: Maybe it’s because he hates iron but cannot become steel. When "The Little Prince" first came out, didn't Tianjiu play "The Little Prince" to everyone? At that time, he also said that he was looking forward to his future works and so on. The name "Xingxing"
They were the ones who shouted first, saying that they seemed to see the morning star in the animated future.
Floor 4: There is no way, the director also needs to eat.
Floor 5: Yes...so I don’t think it’s necessary to complain about is and me in an extreme way like Tianjiu. I don’t ask for much, I just want the stars to look back at us old fans qaq
Floor 6: In fact, I think the complaints about sweet wine are really not unreasonable. Just look at IS and Woying. Online subscriptions are more popular than the other. This does not include peripheral sales. If it were you, you would have chosen to make more money.
Fast commercial animation, or artistic animation that is difficult to recoup costs? Thinking about the worst, even if you want to do it, can the current stars produce an animation as spirited as "The Little Prince"?
Floor 7: Woohoo, wow, I really like the aura of Xingxing during the period of "The Little Prince". It's not my fan filter, just like Tianjiu said in "Know", that kind of vague taste
, it’s really not something that others can do.
Floor 8: Oh, stop talking, I’m going to play "The Little Prince" on n.

I don't know anything about the comments and comments on the Internet. Mu Xiuxing doesn't have the habit of visiting forum posts. His personal Weibo is basically left to the staff of Huaying Animation. He only occasionally wants to see the audience and fans.
I will come up and take a look when I receive their suggestions and ideas. At this time, the various situations of the new animation have stabilized, and naturally I will no longer pay attention to the comments on the Internet.
The first season of "My Hero Academia" has come to a successful conclusion. Mu Xingxing originally planned to wait for a few weeks before considering the next work like he did in "is", until he received a call from Professor Li.
Li Lianggong has an upright temperament and never likes those long-winded nonsense greetings. At this moment, Mu Xiuxing had just answered the phone and heard Professor Li ask straight to the point:
"Our school has reached a cooperation with Yunsu Video. All students' graduation projects will be displayed in the relevant area of Yunsu Video. There are still three months of production time left. How are you considering your graduation project?"
Mu Xingxing:......
Seeing that the student on the other end of the phone didn't say a word, Li Lianggong suddenly had a bad premonition: "...Don't tell me that you have forgotten all about this?"
When he mentioned it now, Mu Xing also remembered that Lian and Wen Feihang had jokingly mentioned this to him a few months ago, saying that he wanted to try his hand at making short animations independently and that he would not do it for his graduation project.
He hugged his thigh, and he also thought about what to do for his graduation project, but then he happened to be very busy with drawing and animation at that time, so he forgot about it.
This is really...
"It hasn't started yet," Mu Xingxing explained honestly, and before Professor Li got angry, he added: "But I already have a rough idea, and it is expected that I will make a 3-5 minute animated short film in three months.
should be more than enough time.”
"You are really... let me tell you what you are good at," Li Lianggong shook his head helplessly, but he was not angry. After all, there are many students who have not completed it at this time, and the requirements for graduation projects are not high.
Considering Xing's ability, a few minutes of short film is more than enough: "I can't tell you on the phone. Just go back to school tomorrow and we'll talk about the graduation project."
