"Xiao Fan, I hate you..."

Following Bai Ling'er's scream, the Bai family, the former overlord of Bailong City in the fairy world, was finally destroyed by the despised son-in-law.

At this point, the first season of the anime Son-in-law Fairy King has been successfully completed, with a total of 52 episodes, which is a little less than expected.

The plot progresses to the point where the protagonist Xiao Fan has cultivated to the realm of the Venerable, and goes back to liquidate the Bai family to take revenge and wash away the shame of being a son-in-law.

In the original novel, it is probably the first 1 million words of the plot.

This progress is already very slow. After all, on average, one episode only advances the plot of the original novel by about 20,000 words, and the original work has exceeded 5 million words.

According to this progress, it will take about 200 episodes, which is about 4,000 minutes, to completely adapt the novel "The Immortal King".

Don't think it's exaggerated!

In fact, for all animations adapted from web novels, the episodes or duration are usually few and far between. They usually start with dozens or even hundreds of episodes.

What?

How do you think the adaptation of the Neon light novel was made so concise and completed in just 12 episodes in one season?

Please! The anime adaptation of the Neon light novel will not be completed in one go. Instead, the first few volumes of the novel will be adapted in the first season.

You have only seen twelve episodes, that’s because the adaptation of this light novel has not been completed at all, and the rest of the content will not be available until the end of the year...

This is true for short and medium-length neon light novels, which can often be adapted from Chinese online articles of several million words. It is normal for such a length to exist.

And to be honest.

Although the total length of more than 200 episodes and more than 4,000 minutes sounds scary, it doesn’t have to be completed.

Usually they are produced in seasons.

The first season only has 52 episodes, so let’s make it first and see the results. If the audience responds enthusiastically and the results are not bad, then we will continue with the second season.

If the results are very poor and the audience doesn't like it, then the next few hundred episodes will be basically useless. Unless something unexpected happens, it is impossible for the animation company to continue adapting it.

certainly!

Wanbao Animation is very satisfied with the broadcast results of the first season of My Son-in-law, and the second season is almost a certainty.

As for whether there will be a third season or even a fourth or fifth season, it's hard to say.

Maybe there is, maybe not!

Whether it will happen or not depends on whether the second season can continue the popularity and popularity of the first season after it is aired.

This is just like many of Penguin’s previous web adaptation animations. The first season premiered very well, the second season quickly became popular, and then there was no news about the third season...

"I don't think it's a big problem."

From an independent and objective third-party perspective, Lao Zhang rationally analyzed: "The animation "The Son-in-law Fairy King" caused quite a stir in Neon. Even if the second season failed in China, it still made good profits in overseas markets."

Based on this alone, it is unlikely that the second season of Son-in-law Fairy King will end in a hurry.

At least with the support of the vast neon audience, there should be no big problem for this series to reach a third season.

"Haha, that's true."

Gu Miao smiled and nodded, agreeing with Lao Zhang's analysis.

Before the broadcast, he asked Chen Hu to record the Japanese dubbing in advance and sent the son-in-law Fairy King to the neon market to test the waters, which received a relatively good response.

This has also attracted the attention of many domestic friends, especially Penguin.

According to reliable sources, Penguin intends to adapt many of its online movies into animations, translate them into Japanese, and then send them to Neon TV, hoping to achieve the same results as Son-in-law Fairy King.

However, Penguin does not have Wanbao's personal connections in Neon, especially the close cooperation with TV stations, so despite their efforts, it is still difficult for them to really want to be broadcast on TV.

Gu Miao is not optimistic about this.

Not everyone can imitate Wanbao's saucy operation. After all, Wanbao dares to do this, and Neon TV is willing to cooperate, mainly because Wanbao has a branch in Neon with good production capabilities.

Without the foundation laid by "Sailor Moon", "Pretty Cure", "Dragon Ball" and other works, why should people trust you?

Therefore, I am afraid that the wishful thinking made by our friends will come to nothing.

"Speaking of which, it seems that "Go" has also achieved relatively good ratings overseas?" Lao Zhang asked.

"Yes!"

Gu Miao smiled slightly: "The surrounding countries that are more interested in Go and have produced many well-known Go players all have relatively high evaluations of this animation."

Especially the cold country.

As we all know, there have been many world champions in the Go world in the Han Kingdom, and they even dominated the chess world for a time.

Perhaps because of this, people in the cold country have a stronger sense of immersion in the animation "Go Boy" and watch it more enthusiastically.

"Oh yes!"

"Part of the reason why "Go Boy" can attract so many audiences in the cold country is the special identity of the animated villain."

When Gu Miao said this, she couldn't help but laugh.

In Go Boys, who is the final villain who plays against the protagonist Jiang Liuer?

Fuso Chess Master!

This villain has really captured the hearts of some foreign audiences. Except for a few people who complained that even Fuso has a chess master, why there is no Goryeo chess master, most of the audience gave the animation good reviews.

"Is there such a thing?"

Lao Zhang was also very embarrassed and asked curiously: "What do the neon viewers think of this matter?"

"Neon Spectator?"

Gu Miao's expression was very speechless: "They think that the fact that the Fuso Chess Master appears in the animation but there is no so-called Goryeo Chess Master means that they have already won."

What a win!

In the real Three Kingdoms Go competition, Neon players did not achieve very good results, let alone compete with Han players.

Because of this, Neon viewers are already satisfied with the animation's choice to use Fuso Chess Master as the villain instead of Goryeo Chess Master.

A wonderful triangle relationship!

An animation called "Go Boy" actually entertained audiences in three countries, which is really outrageous.

…

As of the end of October, the animation "Go Boy" has aired 46 episodes, and there are only a few episodes left until the end.

As an animation focusing on Go, the ratings achieved by Go Boys are definitely not unpopular.

The subject matter may be niche!

But the fact that the subject matter is niche does not mean that the animation is also niche. On the contrary, the popularity and popularity of Go Boys has always been very high, even far beyond "Go" itself.

In the plot...

Jiang Liuer entered the fourth round and the penultimate round of the chess saint title match. The chess player he played against was a gray-haired Hanlin scholar.

This one is amazing!

In the last match for the title of Chess Master, if he had not suffered a sudden illness and fainted on the chessboard, he might have defeated Lin Xincheng in the end and won the title of Ming Chess Master.

In other words, in terms of chess skills alone, this Hanlin scholar is not inferior to the previous chess master, that is, the old beggar Lin Xincheng.

Jiang Liu'er was able to defeat him thanks to his age. The old guy was indeed prone to making mistakes in his judgment over time and making stupid moves...

But this old Hanlin man caused quite a lot of trouble for Jiang Liu'er. First, the chess game was so tight that Jiang Liu'er couldn't breathe. Then, when he was about to lose the game, he was poisoned and assassinated by King Fu.

Death, and then blame Jiang Liu'er.

Jiang Liu'er was suspected of murdering a Hanlin scholar and used extremely despicable and dirty methods to win. He was arrested on the spot by the Jin Yiwei and was thrown into prison where his life and death were uncertain.

As we all know.

The protagonists are all people with great fortune and destiny. As the destined son of the "Go Boy" animation, how could Jiang Liu'er fall here?

Jiang Liu'er, who was thrown into prison, accidentally discovered that mysterious chess records were carved on the wall of the cell...

On the other side, the emperor changed into regular clothes and went to see Jiang Liu'er in prison. After understanding the situation, he released him without charge.

Jiang Liu'er didn't know at first that the man who came to visit the prison was actually the emperor. It wasn't until he defeated his opponent to obtain the title of Ming Dynasty Chess Master and met with the Ming Emperor that he recognized him.

Fuso Chess Master visits the Ming Dynasty.

Under the banner of exchanges between the two countries, the plan to use chess luck to overwhelm the national destiny and let Fuso dominate the Ming Dynasty was discovered by the emperor and the ministers of the DPRK and China.

This game of chess cannot be lost!

The emperor gave a death order to the new chess master Jiang Liu'er. In the exchange battle between the two chess masters, Jiang Liu'er must win, and he must win heartily.

The luck of chess is the luck of the country!

Never having been under such tremendous pressure, the young chess master Jiang Liuer behaved far more calmly than his peers. He even had the leisure to negotiate terms with the emperor.

"The Great Ming Chess Master..."

Many viewers showed happy smiles when they saw Jiang Liu'er dressed in luxurious clothes, receiving the emperor's award and being officially crowned "Chess Saint" in the presence of court ministers and Fusang chess masters.

Not easy!
