Huang Sibo and Wu Chuan are busy with matters related to the release of "Academy of Agents".
The situation on "Succession" is basically the same. It was all aired this weekend, but the ratings and views of this episode are hard to describe.
Judging from the current situation, the success of "Successor" is probably certain. It will be divided based on the number of views and ratings, and the initial investment cannot be properly recovered.
Of course, not every episode of "Successor" is particularly sluggish. Later, when Lu Zhiyao and other actor extras appeared, as well as several big scenes, the number of views and comments increased.
But overall, it still didn't have a big impact on the overall ratings of the series.
Even if the score fluctuates, it is basically a fluctuation of 0.1 or 0.2, and the score always hovers around 6 points.
There's nothing we can do about it, because at this stage, the ratings of "Successor" are no longer fair or objective at all, and have completely become a battlefield between two groups of people.
Some people give high scores without any brain, and some people give low scores without any brain.
The more the original writers want to give high scores and pull down the ratings, the more the scumbags want to give low scores and pull down the ratings.
So "Succession" became a C-shaped rating with a lot of one and five stars, which is commonly known as the standard marketing bad movie rating.
Generally, bad movies have L-shaped ratings, which means a lot of one-star bad reviews. However, because of the presence of trolls, marketing-type bad movies get a lot of five-star ratings, but this still doesn't change the fact that it's bad.
Therefore, this C-shaped score has been ridiculed for a long time.
Huang Sibo no longer cares about "Successor" and has been helping Wu Chuan arrange things for "Successor Academy".
Because after he went to see Meng Chang last time, he already felt confident.
Whether "Succession" will be a hit or not actually has nothing to do with the promoters at all, it all depends on the results of the election in Uclair.
So there's no point worrying, just wait.
Instead of worrying about this kind of thing, it is better to think more about how to make "Academy of Agents" a success.
Even if "Successor" fails, as long as "Advocate Academy" can succeed, then the project of the Destination Chinese Network's Author Inspiration Class will have two successes and one failure, which sounds quite passable.
After all, copyright adaptation is a high-risk matter in itself, and a success rate of more than 60% is considered very good.
But if "Academy of Agents" also fails and only has a success rate of more than 30%, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Although being able to adapt is already a dream for the authors, even if the adaptation fails, Inspiration Ban still has a strong attraction for them, but from the outside world, this is undoubtedly a loss for Inspiration Ban and Feihuang.
A major hit for the studio.
The cooperation with the Love Island website has been negotiated, and the first episode will be broadcast tonight.
Huang Sibo was obviously still a little worried: "The playback strategy we have set should be fine, right? You have confirmed it with Mr. Pei, right?"
Wu Chuan nodded: "Brother Huang, don't worry, Mr. Pei has made it very clear."
"Mr. Pei said that this is enough quality for a meal-making video. You must hurry up and broadcast it. Speed is the last word."
"Mr. Pei also said that when discussing cooperation with the Ellie website, the money should be calculated based on the total play volume and total play time."
"Doesn't this just show that Mr. Pei has already planned this production method since he finalized it?"
"Furthermore, with this production method, the production of materials is slow at first, but once the materials are almost produced, the speed will be very fast. Large quantities and sufficient management are obviously our unique advantages."
"One episode a day, use diarrhea-style updates to fight your way out!"
Huang Sibo nodded: "Well, as long as Mr. Pei nods."
When he first started planning this project, Wu Chuan inspected many animation companies and then reported to Mr. Pei.
As a result, Mr. Pei was not satisfied at all and proposed to use game modeling, motion capture, and real-time calculation to produce it.
Wu Chuan was a little confused, but he still strictly followed Mr. Pei's requirements to form a team, recruit people, and start the production of "Agent Academy".
I have to say that it was really difficult at the beginning.
Although the game modeling in GOG is also very sophisticated, it is difficult to directly use it in animation production. After forming the team, Wu Chuan not only asked the screenwriter team to spend time revising the script, but also organized manpower to design the models and various models needed in the animation.
Several art resources have been overhauled.
Of course, the game department and the GOG project team also provided some help.
After arranging all these resources, Wu Chuan began to produce animation.
With these resources, it will be much simpler. Anyway, it is all real-time calculation. Using action actors to do motion capture, one episode only lasts ten minutes. It takes one day to complete the motion capture and post-production. If it is fast, it can be done for more than one episode. If it is slow, it will be much easier.
You can also guarantee one episode.
Calculated this way, seven episodes will be produced in five working days. As long as everyone is more efficient, there should be no problem.
It was precisely with this in mind that Wu Chuan decided to carry out a diarrhea-style update as requested by Mr. Pei!
Mr. Pei's positioning of "Agent Academy" is quite accurate. It is just a meal-making video. There is no need to be so meticulous in making it better. The most important thing is to make sure it is large enough.
One episode a week to keep improving, or seven episodes a week to ensure basic quality, obviously the latter should be chosen.
While discussing cooperation with the Love Island website and conducting preliminary publicity, the filming work has also been in progress. So far, three episodes have been filmed.
Wu Chuan decided that starting from the premiere of "Academy of Agents", there will be one episode a day, and the number of updates will be full!
Don’t all online article authors generally update their articles on a daily basis?
As a comic adaptation of a web novel, of course it must carry forward this style!
At a time when many dramas are updated weekly or even monthly, an anime that can maintain daily updates will definitely surprise the audience!
…
…
January 13th, Sunday night.
Pei Qian, with two dark circles under his eyes, yawned while scrolling through his phone.
"Stay up until midnight on the 14th! I don't believe it anymore. Mr. Tian said that something will happen on the 13th. The 13th is obviously almost over, so how can anything happen?"
"I think there's something wrong with Mr. Tian's statement, as if his account has been hacked. Nothing big will happen on the 13th. I've been waiting all day."
"Forget it, netizens will scold him for me."
Pei Qian checked the Ellie website and saw that the score of "Successor" was still hovering around 6 points, and he felt relieved.
Yesterday, Saturday, the last two episodes of "Succession" were aired and all had been played.
The amount of information in these two episodes can be said to be very large. The penultimate episode concludes the previous public safety incidents caused by Phil, and the penultimate episode tells in great detail the scene where Phil reached the peak of superhero power.
.
The entire public safety incident took about two and a half episodes to tell, taking up a considerable amount of space in the entire series.
This is the craziest thing Phil has ever done. This public security incident caused a large number of civilian casualties, and Phil took this opportunity to pull down the superheroes who were at the top before and successfully rose to the top.
In the last episode, the audience just saw Phil use a conspiracy to cause a large number of civilian casualties and get rid of many obstructive superheroes in a dishonorable way, with his hands covered in blood;
In the next episode, Phil has already announced his victory surrounded by a large number of supporters and people, swearing to all people in a sanctimonious manner that he will fulfill his duties and ascend the throne that symbolizes the highest power of a superhero.
This contrast has successfully continued the "uncomfortable feeling" that "Successor" has brought to the audience before, and can also be said to be the highest emotional peak in the entire "Successor" story.
Did Phil win? He won, and he won quite thoroughly.
If we look at the problem from Phil's perspective, from the perspective of a victor and a loser, he eradicated dissidents, deceived the people, and successfully seized the power of a superhero.
But if you look at the problem from the perspective of a bystander, and put aside the purely utilitarian perspective of success and failure, Phil is an out-and-out jerk, without any lovable or admirable virtues.
In short, there is no bad ending. This ending can be said to be consistent and in line with the expectations of the vast majority of viewers.
But it is precisely because of this that the polarization of the evaluation of "Successor" has not changed at all. People who accept the core of the story speak highly of it, while people who do not accept the core of the story still want to give it a negative score.
Now that the entire series has been aired, and after a whole day of fermentation on Sunday, Pei Qian feels that the ratings have almost been settled, and the conclusion has been sealed, right?
Even though there was still a little buzz when the last episode came out, and the audience quarreled a few more times, the popularity has obviously subsided now, and the promotional resources for "Successor" on the Island website will definitely be removed.
, there should not be a large influx of new viewers in the future.
Under such circumstances, can the reputation of "Successor" be improved?
It should be impossible, right?
The only variable is Master Tian's worrying prediction.
So Pei Qian waited the entire 13th until midnight on the 14th.
I checked the ratings of "Successor" again, as well as online reviews and news, and found no changes.
Mr. Tian’s prophecy is still hanging on the Elli Island website. Many people went to dig graves as soon as 0 o’clock passed and mocked Mr. Tian. But Mr. Tian didn’t know whether he was asleep or pretending not to see it.
, in short, no response was made.
It seems like he is pretending to be dead.
"Phew, it was a false alarm."
"I just said that with such a huge advantage, how can it be possible to make a comeback in just one day? That is impossible."
"Although I was on tenterhooks this day, it was worth it to see Mr. Tian overturning his car!"
