Chapter 1332 - 1108: The Battle for Animated Show Ratings

Dream Factory.

"We've been chosen!"

"All of us were chosen!"

"Our hard work wasn't in vain!"

"Teacher Shadow's works are indeed the best!"

"But why are there two channels for children now? Are they set up for competition?"

"Definitely."

"The positioning of both channels is completely overlapping."

"If our opponent is the Big Five, do we stand a chance?"

...

Starlight Animation.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Teacher Shadow is too strong!"

"Both our and Chase Shadow's works were selected!"

"Is this channel specially made by the Literature and Art Association for Teacher Shadow?"

"Can I interpret this as the second children's channel being the Shadow channel?"

"Absolutely!"

"The second children's channel is already contracted to Shadow God!"

"It looks like we need to put in serious efforts next to help Shadow God fight an animation ratings war."

...

Starlight Television Department.

Zhao Jue is grinning from ear to ear!

She never expected that by just following Xian Yu's request and collaborating with Shadow on a special effects film, they would make it onto a children's channel!

Although there are now two children's channels.

But their overall value is still extremely high!

Not to say that all of Blue Star is watching, but half of Blue Star being interested should be right, shouldn't it?

Obviously.

The two children's channels are bound to clash.

Whoever wins will be the new boss.

In any case, Zhao Jue feels that the Literature and Art Association setting up two children's channels is fundamentally a temporary measure.

"I hope Shadow wins."

Although the hopes are slim.

The opponent is an enormous entity like the Big Five.

But to be able to claim the second children's channel for now is already a tremendous achievement!

...

Studio.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Yuan's mood immediately soared.

All eleven animation films were chosen!

This was something Lin Yuan had never anticipated!

Lin Yuan was equally surprised that the Literature and Art Association actually set up two children's channels.

"Clearly."

Jin Mu spoke, analyzing: "The Literature and Art Association wants the two children's channels to duke it out and let the audience decide. They probably couldn't make the decision internally either; it must have been a big fight, otherwise they wouldn't have delayed for half a month, with the new year right around the corner."

"Mm."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Then why are all my works placed on the second channel?"

After thinking, Jin Mu said: "For one, you have too many works, and secondly, your works are rather unique. Some of the works are also probably uncertain in terms of reception, so they want to experiment. With a ratings war being inevitable, we need to prepare early. It would be best to have some animations ready that are likely to achieve good ratings, ready to replace those that finish. If we do well enough, perhaps the second children's channel will indeed be contracted to you in the future."

After a pause.

Jin Mu said: "Anyway, the Literature and Art Association has already contacted me. The general idea is that for the time being, the animation section of the second children's channel is entrusted to Shadow. I think you understand what they mean."

"Alright."

Lin Yuan nodded.

In fact, Lin Yuan's aim with these animations has been to diversify the types.

There are all kinds of genres.

Some genres might suffer in terms of viewership.

Like "Tadpole looking for Mom" for example.

But such ink-wash animation is really high in artistic value; it's a pity not to release them. Anyhow, the story isn't long, and it might even pull in accolades from the parents.

A ratings war with the first children's channel?

Then Lin Yuan would bring some productions that hold strong in viewership to replace those with shorter durations.

At this moment.

Jin Mu suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, isn't it almost the New Year? Did you receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?"

Lin Yuan said: "Eight invitations."

Jin Mu was shocked: "Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhong Continent invited you as well?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Indeed.

It was just a while ago.

The Spring Festival Gala production teams from the states of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhong Continent all extended invitations to Xian Yu.

However, Lin Yuan turned them all down. Last year, he organized his own Spring Festival Gala, which exhausted him after several months of effort.

This year, he just wants to stay at home and watch TV with his family.

As it happens, the singers from Yu Dynasty did accept the invitations from the Qin Continent Spring Festival Gala.

Just right.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is also hosted by Qin Continent, so being the host, the effect should be quite good.

"It seems that Zhong Continent has thoroughly recognized Xian Yu,"

Jin Mu remarked thoughtfully.

Who would have thought that Zhong Continent would value Xian Yu so much even before joining the merger?

All this is due to Xian Yu's performance at the Blue Songlympics.

Over in Blue Star,

There are very few foreigners that proud Zhong Continent would appreciate.

"Hmm."

Lin Yuan wasn't too concerned with this topic; what he cared more about was Shadow:

"When is the children's channel going to be established?"

"On the twentieth."

"Then I should make some preparations."

"Preparations for what?"

"To see if there are any other cartoons."

"Boss?"

"Hmm?"

"Being with you, I often feel like I am an uncivilized mangy baboon."

...

Two children's channels.

Twenty-two cartoons.

The Literature and Art Association is leading the charge in "igniting the war."

After experiencing a series of shocking revelations, netizens across all continents gradually realized the nature of this ultimate internal conflict!

Time!

Type of programs!

Completely overlapping!

Two children's channels are pointless!

Blue Star only needs one children's channel!

By doing this, the Literature and Art Association has essentially done a white-list inspection, and the real inspection authority is intended to be handed over to the viewers, indeed.

To be precise, it is given to the children, to the parents.

"This is going to be fun!"

"The second channel is all Shadow's works, and most of the first channel consists of the works of the big five."

"Is this literally just Shadow, pk'ing against the big five by himself?"

"What's even the point of playing this."

"Any of the big five could outclass everyone else, how could Shadow possibly stand against the united front of these five companies?"

"Exactly."

"But that's not necessarily the case!"

"What the Three Bros are best at is fighting one against many, isn't it?"

"Xian Yu and Chu Kuang both have similar achievements, Shadow certainly does as well."

"Remember how Tribe Comics met its end?"

"Hiss~"

"No way, right?"

"It was Ling Kong that caused the demise of Tribe Comics."

"Pfft!"

Jokes aside.

People's minds actually wavered for a moment!

Mainly because Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow, these three guys, are just too incredible!

Even Shadow, who is generally considered the weakest, has had his moments of glory in the past.

God of Comics wasn't a title gained for nothing!

Moreover,

Shadow has already proven his strength as an animation director with "Robot Wally."

Although animated movies are different from cartoon series, those who can make animated films generally won't do poorly in cartoon serials!

And since the Literature and Art Association gave Shadow this platform, it surely must be because Shadow's works are not bad at all, and perhaps even at a level that the association believes can compete with the big five; otherwise, there would have been no point in this move.

Thinking about this,

The mood among the netizens turned odd.

Perhaps this animation viewership battle will be much more exciting than imagined!

ps: The recent updates have indeed been a bit weak. I'm off to a business trip to Hainan tomorrow, probably for three to four days. When I come back, I'll speed up, and by then the Zhong Continent arc should begin.
