How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 280: Can’t Beat or Talk

Mr. Liu looked at the data online. This week, after their "Battle of the Heavens" update, its popularity didn't even surpass Jiang Yu's "Super Beast Armor"?!

This made Mr. Liu a little restless.

The key point is that the online broadcast volume of their anime "Battle of the Heavens" today was actually not as high as Jiang Yu's "Super Beast Armor", and it was overshadowed by Jiang Yu's anime. This made Mr. Liu feel a little surprised.

How long has it been? Only two weeks, and Jiang Yu's animation has surpassed their "Fights in the Sky"?
Mr. Liu admitted that Jiang Yu's original anime was indeed good in content and quality. However, he still didn't think that Jiang Yu's "Super Beast Armor" could surpass their top-tier novel IP-based anime "Battle of the Heavens." Not to mention the fan base for the original novel, their anime was also quite good in terms of quality.

Obviously, their anime "Battle of the Heavens" has a natural advantage, and its quality is not inferior to Jiang Yu's "Super Beast Armor". But now, today, it has been surpassed by Jiang Yu's anime.

This point was something Mr. Liu found hard to accept.

"What's the matter?"

Mr. Liu himself couldn't figure it out. His own anime wasn't bad, and it had a huge fan base. But Jiang Yu's anime didn't have that. Although it was updated daily, its performance had been mediocre. When it premiered, its performance was far surpassed by his own anime, "Battle of the Heavens."

But today, things seem a little different.

Mr. Liu sat on the sofa and looked at the comments on the Internet. The reputation of Jiang Yu's "Super Beast Armor" has exploded.

"I strongly recommend everyone to watch the anime Super Beast Armor. This anime by Jiang Yu is really great!"

"Yes, it's really good. I originally just watched it with my son, but now I'm fascinated by it myself, haha."

“This is a very profound and philosophical anime. I feel like every character in it is flesh and blood.”

"Wow, wow, I saw the Scorpion King die. Her life story was so pitiful. She was such a pitiful person. Alas!"

"I'm curious. When the Scorpion King saw Long Jian, why did he say he was Hades? Hades hasn't been resurrected yet? He looks a lot like Hades."

"I'm not sure, I feel like this is a foreshadowing. Jiang Yu's anime is really exciting and profound. It's not one of those purely mindless anime. I really recommend everyone to watch it."

……

When Mr. Liu saw these comments, he suddenly felt depressed. He was so angry that he didn't even bother to read them. He immediately sent a message to the person in charge of the relevant department in the company.

"Increase the publicity for the anime "Fighting Heavens" and do some appropriate hype to try to raise the figures. Jiang Yu surpassed me today, and I don't want a next time. Also, get those figurines and related items ready and put on sale soon. This is also a lucrative area, so we need to market it more."

Mr. Liu didn't want to be surpassed so easily by Jiang Yu. Furthermore, he had planned a very extensive industry chain for this anime. The anime-related figurines were a very profitable business. A small figurine could cost hundreds of dollars, while a good one could go for thousands or even tens of thousands. Furthermore, anime fans and fans of the original novel were quite wealthy, so this was another way to make money.

If Jiang Yu suppresses it and all the popularity is snatched away by Jiang Yu's anime, then it will not be so easy to sell these things at that time.

Therefore, we must not let Jiang Yu suppress us now, and we must maintain our performance and popularity. Today's situation, being slightly overtaken by Jiang Yu, is not a good sign.

……

And at this moment, at Warner Entertainment, Chu Shaoyang's home.

He had also seen the news online, and had been watching Jiang Yu's anime "Super Beast Armor" these days. Although he had conflicts with Jiang Yu, and even had a hostile relationship with him, he also disliked Jiang Yu.

But based on his feelings after watching Jiang Yu's animation in the past few days, he thinks that Jiang Yu's original animation is very good.

This original anime is of such high quality and has a wonderful plot. The characters are all very charismatic, and the anime is profound and philosophical. This is something Chu Shaoyang hasn't experienced in other anime.

It can be said that after all this time, I only felt this through Jiang Yu’s anime “Ultra Beast Armor”.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Chu Shaoyang had to say that Jiang Yu's animation was indeed good and well-made.

Seeing that the online streaming data for Jiang Yu's "Super Beast Armor" had already surpassed Fengtian Entertainment's "Battle of the Heavens" tonight, Chu Shaoyang was somewhat surprised. But more than that, he was indifferent, as if he himself felt that Jiang Yu's animation surpassing "Battle of the Heavens" was a matter of course.

Sitting on the sofa, Chu Shaoyang looked at netizens' comments on Jiang Yu's anime on his mobile phone and fell into deep thought.

Is this guy so powerful now?

The original Chinese animation he created and produced was already doing so well, not to mention the increasingly good data on online platforms. As far as he knew, the ratings on the children's channel were also very good.

Before, Chu Shaoyang wanted to see Jiang Yu make a fool of himself, thinking that if Jiang Yu tried to create original animation, it would most likely fail.

But the current situation was completely different from what he had expected. Not only did it not flop, but its performance and reputation were quite good. It could be said that Jiang Yu's animation was definitely profitable.

And as of now, Jiang Yu believes that the industry of this animation can be extended, such as figures and toys.

He believes that mecha-themed anime toys and action figures are easy to produce. He sells high-end action figures to adults, while low-end toys are sold to children.

This is the only way Chu Shaoyang can think of to make a profit.

But it seems that there is no news coming out from Jiang Yu yet about the launch of toys and figures.

However, just as Chu Shaoyang was thinking, a hot search message popped up on his mobile phone.

"Super Beast Armor peripheral pre-sale!"

"Jiang Yu shows off his Ultra Beast Armor figurines!"

……

Regarding these two trending news, if you click on them, you will see a photo posted by Jiang Yu himself holding a super beast figurine of Huolinfei, the protagonist of "Super Beast Armor".

Jiang Yu Company directly announced that the figures and toys of the anime "Ultra Beast Armor" will be available for online pre-sale at 12 noon tomorrow, and they will be gradually put on the shelves of major stores across the country within a week.

Seeing this, Chu Shaoyang's eyes fixed. As expected, if he could think of this way to make money, Jiang Yu couldn't have failed to think of it.

but……

Chu Shaoyang is not very interested in animation.

"Haha, Jiang Yu, it depends on whether your TV series can be successful in the future."

Chu Shaoyang was well aware that Jiang Yu's TV series, The Lost Tomb, and their own, Legend of the Great Wilderness, were likely to collide. They had previously lost to Jiang Yu in the film industry, where they weren't particularly strong, but in TV series, Warner Bros.' strongest area, Chu Shaoyang felt they would definitely not lose to Jiang Yu!

……

Since then, Jiang Yu's anime "Super Beast Armor" has become increasingly popular and successful. More and more people are discussing it online, especially some of the classic clips and the philosophical sayings of the characters, which have been spontaneously edited and posted online by many netizens and bloggers.

It can be said that Jiang Yu's "Super Beast Armor" has become a real hit on short video platforms recently. It's not just the entire anime, not just the protagonist, but every living character in the anime that's popular.

Moreover, on the children's channel, the ratings have already exceeded 3, which can be said to be a hit animation. According to the online data of Penguin Video, the latest updated episode has exceeded 100 million views, and has been stable for several days. It can be regarded as a truly hit animation.

In the past few days, the plot has come to the parallel universe of the Whale Shark King. Lin Qianqian was lying on the sofa, watching the episode updated today.

When the protagonists faced the whale shark king whose supernatural power was as high as a black hole, the feeling of oppression was really strong.

Especially when the protagonists were communicating with the Whale Shark King, the profound words spoken by the Whale Shark King made Lin Qianqian and many viewers fall into deep thought.

"You are not wrong, and neither are we. It's just that we are stronger, so we make the rules of the game."

"There are many things in life that are completely unfair, and you can only accept them."

"Don't let momentary impulse and anger blind your eyes."

When everyone saw the Whale Shark King, a villain who was considered to enslave others, say such words, they felt a sense of contrast for a moment. They even felt that the words said by the Whale Shark King actually made some sense.

Especially after the Whale Shark King and the Super Beast Warriors faced off, and after what he said to Hu Linfei and the others, not only were the protagonists a little shaken, but even the audience and Lin Qianqian and the others were a little shaken.

What he said seemed to be true.

"There are some people in this world who, though still human, have never lived a life of their own. Everything they do is based on the wishes of others. Such people have existed since time immemorial and will never disappear. They will never be free, for their souls have long been imprisoned in chains. Even if you remove the chains from a slave, can you remove the chains from their souls?"

"Even if you defeat me, do you think they can be free?"

"Wrong, sooner or later they will need another strong person to rule them!"

After hearing the Whale Shark King's words and watching the plot unfold, Tai Lei repeatedly considered leading his people in resistance. However, having been enslaved for so long, his people were no longer able to raise the weapons of resistance. In their hearts, they had become accustomed to this life of slavery. Although they expressed their tiredness and their desire to resist, they had no desire to resist, and even dared not to.

When everyone saw the plot updated in the past few days about the protagonists facing the whale shark king, they all felt doubts and puzzlement in their hearts, and even their beliefs were shaken.

Is such a person really a villain?

Enslaving others and controlling their freedom is indeed abhorrent. But as the Whale Shark King said, "Human desires are like rolling rocks on a mountain; once they start, there's no stopping them." If these people were given freedom, would they also enslave others? Or even overthrow the Whale Shark King and enslave his people?

So who is the good guy? And who is the bad guy?
The audience was particularly captivated by the sight of Tai Lei, who, after finally defeating the Whale Shark King with the Ultra Beast Warriors and leading his tribe in a rebellion, was once again crushed by the returning Whale Shark King. The tribe members showed no will to fight the Whale Shark King, and even, at the Whale Shark King's instigation, killed Tai Lei's master and their own elders in a desperate attempt to save their own lives.

Is this human nature?

Did the Whale Shark King really do something wrong?

Are these tribesmen really worth Tai Lei’s rescue?
When seeing this scene, everyone thought of what the whale shark king said. This is human nature.

Yes, that's human nature.

In particular, everyone saw Elder Yuanzheng’s last words: “Love is seen because of tolerance.”

When everyone heard this, they thought of what Elder Yuanzheng had said before, and they felt helpless and regretful.

He believed in love, he practiced love, and believed that love could influence everything, but in the end, he died at the hands of his own people.

This is a very charismatic and distinctive character. Although he didn't appear on screen for a long time, he left a deep impression on the audience.

"In this anime, everyone has their own unique image and charm, as well as their own philosophy. Whether it's the protagonists, the Scorpion King and the Whale Shark King, or Yuan Zheng, they are all like this, just like a group portrait novel."

This is what Lin Qianqian and many viewers think.

This is one of the reasons why everyone loves watching Jiang Yu. It's not one of those clichéd anime, nor is it just mindless and enjoyable. Instead, each character possesses their own unique charm. Lin Qianqian even feels that any of the characters currently appearing in Jiang Yu, like the Scorpion King, the Whale Shark King, and Elder Yuanzheng, could be the protagonist if they were singled out.

Even when everyone saw what happened later, when they faced Ye Lingyun, another guardian of Hades, everyone was stunned.

It seems like each of Pluto's minions is more formidable than the other. They can fight seven at once, or even five at once, leaving the protagonists helpless and unable to win over them.

At this moment, everyone was confused. Who is the villain and who is the hero?

The villains are more powerful in fighting and more eloquent than each other.

And what about the protagonists?
It seems that I can neither beat him nor convince him.
