My Animation Era

Entering July, the remake of the animated film "The Kid" still ranks first in the ratings for the same period, with strong momentum.

And before that.

The animation "Legend of the Seven Swords" directed by Guo Hongwei has ended its first round of broadcasts on TV platforms and has moved to its second and third rounds of rebroadcasts.

The ending is very bad...

As many viewers have guessed, the identity of the master of the last Seven Swords, Ziyun Sword, is not only the adopted son of King Wuwei, but also the second son of the sword god Li Changfeng.

more than ten years ago.

In order to obtain the Seven Swords, King Wuwei sent people to hunt down the sword god Li Changfeng's family. Li Changfeng's wife was already pregnant.

King Wuwei originally wanted to use her as a hostage to force Li Changfeng to surrender to him and hand over the Changhong Sword obediently.

Unexpectedly, during the arrest process, Li Changfeng's wife died in childbirth, leaving only a baby who was saved by the previous generation of Yuhua Sword Master, the master of Doctor Dou.

The previous Yuhua Sword Master was Li Changfeng’s best friend.

Entrusted by others, he protects his friends' wives and children.

In order to protect this newborn child, he could not bear his premature death and chose to negotiate terms with King Wuwei. He was willing to use Yuhua Swordsmanship in exchange for King Wuwei to let the child go.

King Wuwei agreed.

At this point, Doctor Dou's master, the previous generation of Yuhua Sword Master, disappeared from the martial arts world and came to Prince Wuwei's palace to work as an ordinary martial arts instructor.

And that child became the adopted son of King Wuwei, the little prince in everyone's eyes.

King Wuwei adopted this child with the intention of threatening Li Changfeng, because over the years, Li Changfeng's whereabouts were unknown, and no one knew whether he was dead or not.

As a result, after many years of getting along, King Wuwei and his children had already developed feelings for each other.

Not father and son, better than father and son.

Before the final battle, the young prince learned his identity from his personal bodyguard, the previous generation Yuhua Sword Master.

What will the young prince choose?

On one side is King Wuwei, who was kind to him in raising him but was his enemy by killing his father and mother, and on the other side is his biological brother.

There is no doubt that this is a difficult choice.

In order to further advance his skills, King Wuwei chose to kill the previous Yuhua Sword Master, which made the young prince make up his mind.

At this point, the seven swords are combined!

In order to stop King Wuwei's cruel behavior, the young prince chose to join forces with Xiao Ling and others, and Ziyun Sword finally returned to its throne.

Under the combination of the seven swords, the legendary power of the land gods broke out. King Wuwei, who was ambitious and had dominated the world for decades, still fell to the seven swords.

…

Regarding the final ending of the anime "Legend of Seven Swords", there is a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Mainly aimed at the young prince.

Some people complained that the young prince was too unkind and unjust. King Wuwei was cruel and unkind, but he was really kind to the young prince and even gave him his Ziyun Sword.

So many years of upbringing, turned upside down in just one sentence?

Some people think there's nothing wrong with it.

King Wuwei was certainly kind to the young prince. But his motivation for adopting the young prince was not simple. He was also the young prince's father-killing enemy.

If you are adopted by your slain father's enemy, can you let go of your hatred and treat him like your biological parents?

[The young prince is a white-eyed wolf. King Wuwei is not bad to him, right? As a result, he teamed up with outsiders to deal with his adoptive father! 】

[What are the three views upstairs? Xiao Ling is obviously the younger prince's biological brother, and he avenges his father's murder with his brother, so why does he look so blank? 】

[The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable! I support the young prince, this is what I should do...]

【Producing grace＞Nurture grace, right? 】

As expected, netizens were divided into two different factions around the young prince's final actions, and they were quarreling.

This kind of quarrel did not gradually subside with the completion of the animation "Legend of the Seven Swords", but intensified.

By the end, even the mainstream media took notice of the controversial topic.

Ever since.

A debate competition with a larger scale and more participants has begun online.

"What a noise!"

Gu Miao, who was thinking about how to arrange special effects for the Duel Monsters, couldn't help but smile evilly after noticing the controversy on the Internet.

"The more intense the quarrel, the higher the replay ratings. Maybe with the help of this incident, the rerun of the anime "Legend of the Seven Swords" will be more popular than the first broadcast!"

"Huh? It's not possible!"

Guo Hongwei wondered: "The replay is more popular than the first broadcast? The probability of such a thing happening is probably lower than winning the first prize in a lottery, right?"

"Who told you?"

"This kind of thing is very common. Did you know that in the first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"? That was an example of the rerun ratings being higher than the first broadcast!" Gu Miao rolled her eyes.

This is no joke.

If it is a traditional live-action TV series or live-action variety show, it is indeed rare for the ratings of reruns to exceed those of the first broadcast.

But the ratings of reruns of animated works are higher than those of the first broadcast, which is actually nothing unusual.

I won’t talk about Pleasant Goat which is too far away.

The first season of "Pig Man" previously launched by Wanbao, including animations such as "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang", actually had higher ratings in the second round of reruns than in the first broadcast.

There are statistics.

The audience stickiness of animation programs is much higher than that of other programs, and the audience's willingness to watch reruns is also higher than that of other programs.

Under normal circumstances, for an animation of acceptable quality, the ratings for reruns will not be much lower than those for the first broadcast. If the popularity and discussion are higher, the replay can be more popular than the first broadcast.

certainly!

The anime "Legend of the Seven Swords" is still a little less interesting.

After all, the ratings for the premiere were already very high, and there was very little viewership potential left. Even if the ending sparks controversy and leads to an increase in popularity of the anime, it will be difficult for reruns to surpass the premiere.

"Then shall we add fuel to the fire?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Hongwei suddenly became interested and said: "If we increase the popularity, wouldn't the ratings of the rerun be expected to surpass that of the first broadcast?"

"forget it."

Gu Miao shook her head.

If it were another topic, the popularity would actually have little impact. But the recent pace of "Legend of Seven Swords" is not suitable for hype.

The official ending is too low!

It doesn't matter if the audience quarrels a little, but the animation director and the animation company will personally go out and quarrel with the audience, and it won't be embarrassing to talk about it.

Besides, it’s nothing to fuss about.

The plot of the young prince stabbing King Wuwei in the back is really speechless, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is all he can do.

if not?

If you continue to be a young prince, then "Legend of the Seven Swords" will directly declare GG. Without the Seven Swords Combined, the protagonist group will take the lead to defeat King Wuwei?

so……

Everyone's analysis makes sense.

The only thing missing is that from the perspective of the animation production team, the young prince actually had no choice but to stab King Wuwei in the back.

In this plot, there is no second option at all.

When the role of the young prince was originally created, his fate was determined. The meaning of this character's existence is to betray King Wuwei and promote the unification of the seven swords.

If there is no young prince, there will be someone else...
