"Let's talk about Naruto first."
"The details of this animation are very well done, not only in the pictures, but also in the character performances, music and other common aspects. If viewers have carefully watched the movements of the characters in the animation when using ninjutsu, they will find that in this animation, ninjutsu is not the common move that we can perform immediately after thinking about it, or using simple gestures to complete the casting of spells - in "Naruto", ninjutsu has a set of clear corresponding hand seals."
"Every ninjutsu has its own specific hand seals."
"What is the most important thing for a passionate youth comic? It is passion, emotion, and a battle that makes people feel happy and full of joy. The battle setting in Naruto just meets this requirement. The setting of ninjutsu seals makes the battle scenes in the animation look novel, full of wonderful ritual and dynamics."
“And all this is just the beginning.”
"As a fresh graduate of the ninja school, the ninjutsu that Uzumaki Naruto can master is undoubtedly extremely limited, which further limits the excitement of the current battle scenes. But it is conceivable that as the storyline develops further, the plot and battles of "Naruto" will only become richer and more outstanding."
Shen Nian has a very high opinion of "Naruto".
Simply put, she saw in this animation the qualities that an excellent hot-blooded youth comic should have. With the development of the plot, these qualities will only become more and more noticeable, rather than gradually fading away. As long as the artist can better shape this embryonic form, "Naruto" will definitely become the pinnacle of combat youth comics!
This is Naruto.
As for One Piece, which was launched one day later than Naruto,
“Interesting.”
Different from the analysis of the battle settings of "Naruto", for "One Piece", Shen Nian focused more on the story background of "One Piece".
“The background setting of this animation is quite interesting.”
As if to emphasize his point, Shen Nian used two "interesting" in this review of "One Piece".
"The name of the animation is "One Piece". We all know that in real life, pirates are still thieves after all, and they should be hated by everyone. The beginning of the animation also tells the story of the execution of the first generation of Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Because of his last declaration before his death, countless people rushed to the sea, and the world ushered in the era of great pirates from then on."
“At first glance, it seems to be just a mediocre adventure setting, but combined with the plot of the first episode, it gives people a confusing feeling.”
"For ordinary people, an era of rampant pirates is obviously not a good thing. In other words, the Pirate King who caused the Great Pirate Era should not be a good thing either. However, in this animation, the protagonist Luffy's lifelong dream is to become the Pirate King."
"Or, in the eyes of the original author and Luffy himself, this so-called Pirate King is actually a very remarkable title, so much so that in the first episode of the animation, Luffy showed a bright smile and told everyone confidently and righteously that he had decided to become the Pirate King, even if it meant losing his life?"
“That’s very interesting.”
"From the current plot of One Piece and the character of the protagonist Luffy, this is obviously a typical orthodox and hot-blooded manga. In this way, even if Pirate King Roger is not a good person in the true sense, the position represented by this character on major issues undoubtedly represents the political correctness in the animation."
"So now comes the problem."
"What happened in the world of One Piece? What kind of political situation caused Roger to say such words before his death, even though he knew what the proliferation of pirates would bring to the world, and started the Great Pirate Era that seemed to make the whole world more chaotic? What role did the World Government play in this process?"
"I have a feeling that, in addition to the conventional youth passion and adventure, One Piece seems to be trying to tell something profound."
At the end of the comic review, Shen Nian said: "It is these two impeccable feature-length animations that made me see Huaying's ambition to dominate the Blue Star animation industry."
"From the initially meaningless 'is', to the 'Harry Potter' and 'Detective Conan' that have influenced a generation, to the 'Naruto' and 'One Piece' that will accompany all audiences for the next ten years."
By that time, all animation viewers on Blue Star, even if they are not fans of Huaying animation, will definitely have some different feelings and emotions about Huaying after being influenced by so many animations. As long as people are still watching animations, as long as the quality level of Huaying does not plummet, Huaying will always stand firm with the complete business chain after the opening of the theme park.
In this regard, other companies can only smile bitterly.
After all, no matter what, Huaying's dominance is based on real quality, not various tricks like Yunsu. Even if other animation companies are unwilling, they can do nothing about it - animation production is based on strength. They can't just rely on their weakness and ask Huaying to give in to them, right
The only thing that can make other companies breathe a sigh of relief is the current situation of Huaying Theme Park.
At least judging from Huaying's current movements, Huaying Theme Park is more like a tool for Huaying to build a pan-entertainment business chain. Coupled with the existence of Yunsu Theme Park as a competitor, it is probably not a goal that can be achieved within one or two years if Huaying wants to build its business chain.
It seemed to confirm their guess.
Faced with Yunsu Theme Park's unilateral promotional show of weakness, Huaying remained silent, except for "Naruto" and "One Piece", which were still updated weekly. When the plots of the two animations gradually showed a trend of getting better, it was the beginning of September.
This should have been a quiet day.
Considering that the blue planet's large-scale disaster film "Back to School" has been released, according to usual practice, students from major universities should be busy catching up on their homework and preparing for the upcoming new semester and new school military training, so that the usually bustling Internet has become a lot quieter.
In fact, this year's school season was originally like this.
However, a small accident made this year's opening season unprecedentedly lively.
The incident started when a Harry Potter fan posted a "Hogwarts acceptance letter" on Weibo, saying that his parents were both Muggles and did not have the time or convenience to send him to King's Cross Station. He asked if there were any friends who were also freshmen at Hogwarts who would like to go with him.
"Ministry of Magical Confidentiality Warning."
"Oh my god, are the freshmen this year so stupid? How many times have I told you not to reveal the secrets of the wizarding world to Muggles? How dare you ask such a question on a Muggle communication platform? Do you want to be the first person to be expelled by the principal for leaking secrets of the wizarding world right after you are admitted?"
Up to this point, the style of the comment section is still normal.
until-
"I really admire the freshmen of your class. None of them can keep their mouths shut. Do you know how much trouble and workload the Ministry of Magic will suffer if you post such information on a Muggle platform without authorization? Oh, you are from Gryffindor. That's fine."
"? The tone upstairs is so sarcastic, I'm afraid you are a fool from Slytherin? The Sorting Hat hasn't said anything yet, why are you sorting the freshmen into a house without their permission?"
"Here it comes, it's the familiar smell of the Lion Snake online battle. Melon seed soda is sold in the front row. Don't miss it if you pass by. Click to see the traditional Hogwarts school culture!"
Just like that, people were fighting against each other, and people were watching the fun. By the time this Weibo post was swarmed with people who were either joining in the fun or just watching the fun, this Weibo post originated from a Harry Potter fan and several related topics had quietly entered the top ten hot searches.
#Hogwarts Opening Day#
#Ministry of Magic Confidentiality Agreement#
#Hogwarts Admissions Office#
The popularity of Harry Potter goes without saying. As more and more people saw these topics on Weibo's hot search list, more netizens joined in with a smile. Some people plunged into the lion-snake battlefield and had fun fighting, while others enthusiastically gave freshmen tips on what to pay attention to at Hogwarts. In the end, some even became the admissions office of Hogwarts:
"If you are a top student, come to Ravenclaw!"
"Which house to choose? Is there any need to ask? As we all know, Gryffindor is the best house in the entire Hogwarts, bar none! The Sorting Hat? The Sorting Hat is actually only one aspect. Usually, the Sorting Hat will also consider the wishes of the students themselves. That's how our Gryffindor's pride—the Savior—came in."
"Without further ado, let's take a look at [Harry Potter Video Clip: Slytherin Male Model Group]."
"No, no, no, don't listen to them. What's the most important thing about going to school? It's accommodation! Apart from anything else, our Hufflepuff dormitory is definitely the most comfortable! And the school kitchen is not far from our dormitory, so it's very convenient to eat whatever you want. Everyone in the academy is also very friendly, much friendlier than other academies."
Not just netizens.
As the topic of Hogwarts became more and more popular, many public figures on Blue Star also joined in, either photoshopping their admission letters on Weibo or uploading photos of themselves wearing the academy's wizard robes, and enthusiastically joined in the meme with netizens.
The one who used the tone of an experienced person seriously reminded the younger students about the things to pay attention to when studying at Hogwarts, and urged them to study hard; the other one said that he had graduated from Hogwarts many years ago, and talked seriously about the interesting things that happened when he was studying at Hogwarts.
For a moment, it was extremely exciting and lively.
Similar "recruitment" behavior also occurred at Huaying headquarters.
While others were still excited about the video of [Slytherin Male Model Group], Wen Feihang could tell at a glance that this video with a very familiar editing technique was created by his son. He blocked the way and complained:
"Slytherin male model group, Fang Lian, are you disgusting? How could you do such a shameless thing of recruiting students based on their looks?!"
Fang Lian sneered: "Pah, you talk as if you didn't use Hermione's model to make a dance video for Gryffindor recruitment."
Just as the two were about to have a good fight over the dignity of the academy, Mu Suxing's voice rang out from the other end: "I can hear you guys from a long way away, what are you arguing about?"
Wen Feihang pursed his lips in anger, and was about to complain to Mu Suxing about Fang Lian's shameless deeds, but Fang Lian rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it because I saw that your Weibo fans are about to exceed 100 million, so I thought about the fan benefits for you in advance? Look, Wen Feihang just suggested that you wear women's clothes, and I scolded you mercilessly."
Wen Feihang:
"No, when did I..."
Before Wen Feihang could explain, Fang Lian on the other end quickly said, "If you ask me, women's clothing is definitely not an option. So, Amu, why don't you consider taking a CS photo of Harry Potter or something like that? Isn't it said that Hogwarts Castle has been built? This will not only benefit the fans, but also promote the theme park. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
Wen Feihang was shocked.
Is there actually such a routine
He had a vague premonition in his heart. Looking at Mu Suxing's expression, he saw that he was indeed showing signs of loosening up. He obviously did not reject Fang Lian's suggestion. He just asked casually, "csplay? Who?"
"Logically speaking, the role of Gryffindor, where Harry is, should be the most suitable." Fang Lian paused deliberately and made a smug face to Wen Feihang in a corner where Mu Suxing couldn't see. "But unfortunately, in terms of age, most of the roles of Gryffindor are not very suitable."
"A young version of Dumbledore or Sirius Black would be a good choice, but unfortunately, neither of them appeared in the Harry Potter movies that have been released so far, so they are not suitable for CS. Choosing other marginal characters would also hardly promote the Huaying Theme Park at the same time."
Muxuxing raised an eyebrow: "So?"
"So," Fang Lian said seriously, "If you ask me, Tom Riddle, who appeared in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is definitely the most suitable candidate!"
