But this time, it didn't cause as big a stir as last time.
Because readers have already been mentally prepared.
certainly.
The most important reason is because the new version of "The Day of Reincarnation" is online.
Thanks to Seijun Nishio's tweet last time, most of the readers, even those who don't follow the original author, have seen the original author's royalty transfer in anime-related communities, and have also heard about "The Day of Samsara"
It will be linked with comics.
After the new version of "The Day of Reincarnation" is launched.
Not only are the independent copies and stand-up paintings extremely sincere, but there are also two stunning hand-drawn animations before the start of the copy... which really impressed the comic readers who came here for it.
When comic readers actually started playing the game, they even felt that the original author, Seijun Nishio, was even more understandable...
And once readers have this idea, Nishio Shengjun interrupts the update again, and of course it won't cause too many waves.
Most of the comics readers went to discuss the game, the linkage activities, and the two amazing animations.
Praise the game in various ways.
Then get stuck in it.
Directly performed a wave of what it means to be happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
As for comics, just cut them off...
The situation in the domestic animation community is not an exception.
The grand occasion at the beginning is not the end.
Even, this is just the beginning...
On April 23, the new version linkage event was officially launched.
The heat exploded that day.
Players and comic readers, as well as most ordinary players who came here because of the comic linkage, are very satisfied with the content of the new version.
Don't hesitate to praise me at all.
Even when it first went online, there were too many people recharging, which caused server problems.
What's next?
Anyone who has played games has probably heard of a term called the grass period.
This is because the time and energy invested by game companies in producing a new version of the game is far longer than the time it takes for players to play through a new version.
Maybe the new version that the staff worked on for half a year was finished by players in less than a week.
But the next version will definitely not be ready in a week. This period of time when players have finished experiencing the existing content and are waiting for the next wave of new content is the drafting period.
Of course Linmu Studio's games also have this problem.
After all, playing and doing are two different things.
Linmu Studio has been working hard on the linkage event of "The Day of Samsara", but it may only last a month at most. Players who are faster may experience all the new content in a week.
After all, the restrictions on linkage are actually quite large.
It stands to reason that comic readers who come here because of it will slowly lose their desire to discuss it after experiencing the linked content.
After all, no matter how amazing things are, there will always be a moment when they are finished.
The players gradually regained their composure.
The heat gradually decreases.
These are all normal things.
but.
Such a situation did not happen in "The Day of Reincarnation"...
One week later.
The new version was a hit in various animation-related communities on the day it was launched, and the highly praised linkage gameplay has indeed reduced the popularity of related discussions a lot.
But... the original plot, original levels, and most importantly original characters of "The Day of Reincarnation" have begun to take over the linkage activities and become a new hot spot in various animation communities.
As the game "The Day of Samsara" is gradually explored through the linkage activities, its popularity has not decreased.
On the contrary, it is even more exaggerated!
At the beginning [Holy shit, An Ke is so handsome! The hand-drawn animation is so handsome! The linkage activities are so thoughtful!].
It has also become——[Shepherd is so cute!], [Hahaha, I drew the Avenger Alice! One shot into the soul!], [Is there a lineup for commanders like Xin Shepherd, his family, wives, and children to go into battle?
Get started?].
This change is traceable and visible to the naked eye.
Yes.
People who started playing games for the collaboration activities and the comic "Dark Carving".
All of them have become loyal players of the game "The Day of Samsara"!
As for why this is the case.
Among them, the biggest reason.
It’s because “The Day of Samsara” is not the kind of game that only has linkage elements to attract people.
It would be better to say that this game has ‘Jing Er’ engraved in the DNA from the very beginning.
Compared with the original characters in the game and the linked characters, the only difference is just in popularity.
If we compare it to character design, vertical painting, and aesthetics.
The original characters in the game are no worse than the four linked characters.
Therefore, even if comic readers who come here are amazed by the linked copies and illustrations, and even go a step further and collect all four characters of the linkage, it does not mean that it is over.
soon.
The comic readers who came here because of the name discovered that...the original characters in the game are also very cute!
Especially the 'arrogant shepherd' and 'Avenger Alice' who appeared in pv.
A beautiful blonde girl and an orc queen.
The two are also five-star characters and have independent story lines.
At the same time, because these two characters are original works and are not bound by the original work, there is no "spoiler" look and feel of the original work.
Be it their stories or their characters.
They are all full of unknowns...
Comic readers can completely understand the character of this character slowly, just like reading comics at the beginning, and then... fall in love with this character.
There are still a bunch of similar original characters in the game.
The linkage between the game and the comic "Dark Carving" is an unexpected break from the regular update for existing players, and a huge surprise... Of course, it is also an opportunity to learn about the comic.
vice versa.
For comic readers who come here because of the name, this is a window to learn about the game and get in touch with the game... When they download the game, they are pleasantly surprised by the linkage activities.
It will inevitably come into contact with other original content of the game.
Then.
And then that was it.
It can be said to be...a win-win situation!
And also in this win-win situation.
The popularity of "The Day of Reincarnation" once again ushered in a second explosion!
Because after this game was truly accepted by the anime circle.
Related fan art began to pop up like mushrooms after rain, and the number of people discussing it began to increase rapidly.
a-related content is inherently a natural and common subculture circle on the Internet.
Just like linkage, popular elements can easily circulate with each other.
With the help of an event, "The Day of Samsara" has truly opened up the gap between the game and animation-related circles.
To a certain extent, it can be said to have truly defined the concept of two-dimensional mobile games!
If.
Colleagues at Lin Mu Studio were initially amazed at the many ideas Lin Mu Studio had and the popularity of the new version of "The Day of Samsara" being launched.
Then follow up.
When I saw that the new version of their game was online for a week, the popularity not only did not decrease, but became higher and higher. And it also gradually stepped out of the scope of the "Dark Carving" linkage, making its own game content the main discussion object for new players.
When related fan works at home and abroad are popping up like mushrooms after a rain...
I just felt enlightened.
"I see……"
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng looked at his laptop screen and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sincerely impressed.
And on the screen.
It is a well-known anime community.
At this moment, the community homepage is full of discussions related to "The Day of Reincarnation".
Discussing the linkage, discussing the plot, discussing the lineup, discussing the characters...
And these discussion posts are mixed in with some animation-related posts, and they don’t feel inconsistent at all.
Even very in tune.
These viewers who like anime are also willing to discuss games.
Because they are all beautiful girls and two-dimensional.
"Linkage activities are not only to surprise existing players, not only to attract comic readers, but also a springboard to break the circle and a window for new players to understand the game..."
Mou Feng closed the lid of his laptop, summarized it, and said softly: "I learned it."
Really learned...
At first, he felt that the linkage between the game and the comics was just a new gameplay and an update for existing players and comic readers.
It will definitely attract new users.
But when the popularity of the linkage event passes, it is estimated that most of the new players will be lost.
But now it depends.
How can there be any loss...
After the popularity of the linkage activity passed, players not only did not lose, but directly became loyal users of the game. They also produced many fan works for the game and helped promote the game for free...
Linked activities can actually become a catalyst!
Really...that's outrageous.
Mou Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He thought about what he said about making a mobile game that would compete with Linmu Studio's "Day of Reincarnation".
Yes, the card drawing gameplay has indeed been finalized, and as he expected, it has come to an end.
This is indeed the easiest type of peer-to-peer game to make.
But Linmu Studio didn't start with the gameplay, and started to play tricks in other aspects...
One linkage.
So I taught him another lesson.
How is this equal? Who knows if they have more tricks?
To be honest, this is really frustrating...
Mou Feng sighed again and shrugged.
But soon, he straightened up, patted his face, and cheered up.
No matter how popular "The Day of Samsara" is, they will not be able to capture the entire card-gaining mobile game market. This is a fact.
This market still has great potential.
The more popular "The Day of Samsara" becomes, the more popular the card-drawing mobile games will be, and the easier it will be accepted by players. However, a few days ago, this game had server problems due to too many people recharging. How much money does the game attract? , the entire industry has witnessed it.
Next.
It is estimated that peers who decide to imitate will have to work hard to make their own games of the same type...
It would be funny if Tianhu couldn't compare to them.
Mou Feng thought for a moment, stood up, and decided to go find Li Guangsheng.
If you break your promise, keep your promise.
Looking at it now, linkage is still necessary, it is not just a gimmick.
It is also a window for secondary transmission.
He was going to convince Li Guangsheng.
Just do it.
Mou Feng went out and came to Li Guangsheng's office.
Then just open the door and walk in.
Li Guangsheng was also staring at the screen. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and said directly: "I agree."
"Huh?" Mou Feng was a little surprised.
He hasn't said anything yet.
"It's about linkage, right?" Li Guangsheng let go of the mouse, asked, and then said: "I agreed."
"right……"
Mou Feng showed a curious expression, and then couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Li Guangsheng glanced at the screen, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "You should have seen the response at the product level. I won't go into the reasons for this. To be honest, I haven't completely figured it out yet, but... this time Linmu Studio I have seen the commercial impact of linking it with comics, and I understand it.
Soon, others will also see... Mou Feng, the wind is coming."
Mou Feng: "?"
…
at the same time.
Japan, Tokyo.
Xinjishe.
Editorial Department.
Editor-in-chief Taiji Takeda stared directly at the editor responsible for connecting with Nishio Seijun and asked: "Are you sure Nishio-sensei has 'recovered'?"
in front of him.
The editor who contacted me immediately replied after hearing this: "We have resumed work. The teacher has already drawn 10p. There will be no problem this week."
"Are you sure?" Editor-in-chief Taiji Takeda confirmed again uneasily.
"Confirm, I just came back from Hong Kong City. I saw the manuscript with my own eyes and saw him working. I also waited for him to pick up his phone and confirmed that he did not open the game!" The editor who contacted him nodded seriously.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Takeda Taiji finally breathed a sigh of relief and let his subordinates go.
As if he had received amnesty, the other party immediately said goodbye and left.
Takeda Taiji watched his subordinates leave and shook his head.
In fact, it was not that he deliberately made things difficult for his subordinates, but that what happened this time was really outrageous.
The top author actually stopped updating for two weeks because of the game...
Takeda Taiji was almost furious!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The top one! The most popular comic!
Just because of a business cooperation and promotion, I stopped updating for two weeks.
If he hadn't visited Nishio Shengjun in person, the other party would have even wanted to take a break for a week!
What a damn game!
He has never played mobile games, let alone the mobile game "The Day of Reincarnation".
He had heard a little bit about Linmu Studio.
After all, their handheld switch is very popular in Japan.
But before, he had at most heard of this company.
but now.
He really hates this company!
Because of this company, their best cartoonist had to fish for two whole weeks!
This is unacceptable to him.
hateful.
Works are the foundation of one’s life!
A commercial promotion almost ruined a cartoonist.
What if there is an irreversible result...?
The more Taiji Takeda thought about it, the angrier he became: "It's all Lin Mu Studio's fault!"
In fact, he knew deep down that this had nothing to do with the game company...
After all, if someone makes a game, what does it have to do with being a cartoonist?
At this moment, he was just angry at Lin Mu Studio.
As the person in charge of the editorial department, my top work was inexplicably suspended for two weeks, especially the first week, without even advance notice.
】
The entire editorial office was in chaos.
This makes no one happy.
in addition.
A large part of the reason why Takeda Taiji is so resentful is because he has always been unhappy with the sales department.
Most companies are similar.
Those responsible for the work and those responsible for the market are always in natural opposition.
This situation is even more serious in Xinji News Agency.
Because the newly appointed president of this company values the market more than the work.
The editorial department always cooperates with the sales department.
Takeda Taiji has been unhappy with this for a long time.
"Also, can't the guys in the sales department carefully screen the partners? They do this every time! If there is a real problem, you all will get out of here! Assholes!"
Takeda Taiji raised his voice again, and finally slapped the table.
Many editors raised their heads.
But he only took one look and immediately lowered his head.
As silent as a cicada.
In fact, they also have grievances about what happened this time.
After all, they were both in the editorial department, so Nishio Shengjun didn't notify us at first and just took advantage of it.
They have also been affected.
But it's hard for them to comment on this.
After all, this is not a Japanese drama, this is reality.
A harmonious superior-subordinate relationship simply does not exist.
The superior is the superior.
As Taiji Takeda slapped the table.
The atmosphere in the editorial department became a little stagnant.
No one spoke.
Everyone subconsciously lowered their voices.
until……
"Editor-in-Chief, the meeting is about to begin."
Takeda Taiji's assistant walked next to him and reminded him in a low voice.
Takeda Taiji nodded, then stood up, turned around and left.
Watch Taiji Takeda leave the editorial office.
In the editorial department, other editors breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxed and returned to their usual self.
While working, they whispered to each other.
"I guess there's going to be a fight again?"
"I'm sure. Editor-in-chief Takeda and Director Higashino of the sales department both dislike each other..."
the other side.
Of course Takeda Taiji didn't know what his subordinates were discussing.
He is full of resentment now.
We are preparing to launch an attack later.
This time he made up his mind to use careful selection of collaborators as the starting point for everything he said, so as to gain more say for the editorial department.
He walked to the conference room in silence, sat down near the front row, and looked directly across.
opposite.
A middle-aged man wearing a smart suit and glasses raised his head and smiled at him.
This is the head of the sales department, Kintaro Higashino.
Takeda Taiji saw the other party's smiling face and was about to speak.
But the door of the conference room was pushed open again.
Several people supported the president of the New Ji Society and filed in.
Takeda Taiji saw the person coming and closed his mouth.
Don't rush this moment.
The top author of its comic magazine stopped updating for two weeks, and there was no way around it.
As the president of Xinjishe came in, the meeting officially began.
There was no talk about the work at the beginning.
It's about administration and recent investments.
Takeda Taiji couldn't get in the middle of the conversation either.
Just listen quietly.
It wasn't until he talked about multimedia planning later that he said a few words.
However, it can be seen that for the president of Shinkisha, his opinion as the editor-in-chief who has front-line contact with the work is far less important than the opinion of Kintaro Higashino from the sales department.
He said a lot.
The other party just nodded.
But when it was Higashino Kintaro's turn to give his opinion, the president of Shinkisha was obviously much more serious and would ask questions for confirmation...
See this scene.
Wow... Takeda Taiji is even more angry!
And just then.
finally.
Someone mentioned the matter of Nishio Shengjun.
"Teacher Nishio's "Dark Carving" has been suspended for two weeks. Readers outside have been saying that it is because of playing games, which has caused a lot of impact..."
And heard this.
Everyone looked at Takeda Taiji.
Including the president of Xinjishe.
He seemed unhappy: "Is there such a thing? Why would cartoonists stop publishing for such a reason? Didn't your editorial department ask about it?"
Hearing this, Takeda Taiji took a deep breath, and then looked at Sales Department Manager Higashino Kintaro, who was sitting opposite him.
Start getting angry!
"That is indeed the case."
Takeda Taiji stared at Higashino Kintaro, first admitted that such a thing happened, and then raised his voice slightly: "But this time, it is not the responsibility of the editorial department, but the mistake of the sales department! The reason why Mr. Nishio did this this time
I am addicted to games because of the cooperation from the sales department!
I don’t understand what kind of cooperation partners and what kind of terms require cartoonists to personally promote them. I don’t even know the criteria for selecting cooperation partners by the sales department.
But the reality is that because of the additional terms agreed by the sales department, Nishio-sensei was forced to promote products that had nothing to do with the work, and then he came into contact with games!"
Speaking of which.
Takeda Taiji stared closely at the still smiling Sales Department Manager Higashino Kintaro, and continued: "The Sales Department arbitrarily selected partners and rashly agreed to the other party's unreasonable demands. This is the root cause of this incident!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I don’t know what kind of terms and cooperation are worth such a risk for our ace cartoonist.
You know, our work is our foundation. I don’t want something like this to happen, and I don’t think Director Higashino of the sales department doesn’t want it either.
Therefore, I hope that the sales department will be more careful in choosing partners! It is best to inform the editorial department and discuss with the editorial department, rather than making an arbitrary decision, and then let the editorial department cooperate unconditionally!"
Takeda Taiji’s words.
The target is pointed directly at the sales department.
Everyone looked away and looked at Director Higashino of the sales department.
Including the president of Xinjishe.
Kintaro Higashino from the sales department was still smiling. After everyone looked at him, he finally said, "I heard the opinion of Editor-in-Chief Takeda."
"Then..." Takeda Taiji wanted to speak.
"but."
Kintaro Higashino interrupted him directly and said directly: "This is a cooperation that our sales department has carefully considered."
Say it.
Ignoring Taiji Takeda, he directly took out a stack of information, first handed it to the president of Shinkisha, and then asked the person next to him to pass it on.
"Um?"
The president of New Century Newspaper flipped through the information and suddenly made a surprised sound.
"These are the details of the licensing contract."
Kintaro Higashino crossed his hands and placed them on the table: "But that's not the point. The licensing fee is only one aspect. President, look at the information at the back. That is the game "The Day of Samsara". It has been launched and we cooperate.
After the linked version, the data of our comic "Dark Carving" will be improved."
"Chief Editor Takeda probably hasn't learned about this game carefully, right?"
Speaking of which.
Higashino Kintaro looked at Takeda Taiji, paused, and continued: "This game is quite popular... In just one week since the linkage activities between their games and comics were launched, the search index for "Dark Carving" skyrocketed.
An increase of 170%, this is one of them.
At the same time, fan art of characters related to "Dark Carving" has also experienced varying degrees of growth, with the largest number being the heroine Dark Carving. Rough statistics, there are at least five times more than usual!"
"These are all manifestations of influence."
"Of course, this is only a performance in terms of influence. It is difficult to judge how much value it has."
"So what I will say next can confirm the increase in value."
"This week, the sales volume of the single volume of "Dark Carving" that has been released is 7.4 times the usual volume."
"On the second day after the "Day of Samsara" linkage event was launched, the sales curve of the single volume of the comic began to rise. It has still maintained an upward momentum until now, and is far from reaching its limit."
"Such an increase is even greater than when the animation of "Dark Carving" was launched."
"And all this is because our partner, Linmu Studio, has unparalleled influence and production capabilities."
Kintaro Higashino took a deep breath, then looked at Taiji Takeda who was in a state of shock, and continued with a smile: "The cost of an animation episode is more than 10 million yen, but when we cooperate with Linmu Studio, we don't need to invest."
"Editor-in-Chief Takeda just accused the sales department of not being careful enough in choosing partners."
"It would be prudent to say that this kind of partner is reliable, has excellent production capabilities, and can also drive sales of works."
"Then I don't know what kind of cooperation partner is considered prudent?"
"I'm done."
Kintaro Higashino asked the last question.
Then he shut up.
Keep smiling.
Takeda Taiji looked confused and opened his mouth, wanting to speak.
But on the first seat.
The president of Shinji Club waved his hand and said directly: "Stop talking about it, what's wrong with Mr. Nishio taking a break? Let him take a break!"
