My Animation Era - Chapter 766
Little Xiong roared completely, but Gu Miao didn’t know about it. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t take it to heart.
Time came to June.
The animations “Crayon Shin-Chan”, “Pretty Cure”, “Four Drivers” and “Bear Infested” are still being broadcast on TV stations around the world.
Among them, “The Bears” took an absolute lead and easily surpassed all its opponents, topping the ratings list of children’s cartoon TV programs in the same period.
The first season of “Crayon Shin-chan” is coming to an end, “Four Drivers” focuses on toys and peripherals, “Sailor Moon” is an overseas animation…
This summer, it is no surprise that “Bear Infested” dominates the country, and no one can stop it.
But then again.
Although “Bear Infested” achieved relatively good ratings and won the love of many children under the age of 12 after it was broadcast, its performance was far inferior to the original “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”.
The Second Emperor of Wanbao, that’s it?
Didn’t it mean to replace Pleasant Goat and become the new king of TV animation? Looking at this performance, it seems that it is not good enough!
The meaning of this sentence is not to say that “The Bears” performed poorly. In fact, the results are already very good, and the ratings also topped the same period. No matter how you look at it, it is not bad.
But the animation “Bear Infested” is aimed at “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”.
What anime is Pleasant Goat?
As soon as it aired, it became popular all over the country, and the ratings of the rebroadcast were higher than that of the first broadcast. Even at the most glorious moment, hundreds of TV stations across the country rebroadcasted this animation at the same time.
So far, the first season of “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” includes a special chapter on the war in the weird world, and it is still the TV animation with the most “replays” in China.
As of the first half of this year, Jiangchuan Satellite TV, including Jiangchuan Children’s Channel, has rebroadcasted “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” for a total of 1031 hours.
Other TV stations, such as Shonan Children’s Channel, Kuka Children’s Channel, Zhonghai Children’s Channel, etc., also started rebroadcasting for hundreds of hours.
What a lie!
Just one TV station, the total time for rebroadcasting an animation is as high as thousands of hours! Ordinary people may not understand what these thousand hours represent…
Then give an example!
Suppose you want to go to a TV station to advertise, then the advertising space you buy is usually calculated in “seconds”! Count by the second!
How many seconds are one thousand hours?
All in all, the success of the “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” series of animations is needless to say. It is an absolute phenomenal animation work, the kind that beats the world.
But look now.
Although “Bear Infested” can be regarded as a “phenomenal” animation work, it has not achieved the great feat of “horizontal pressure”, and is far inferior to the original Pleasant Goat.
“Not urgent!”
Gu Miao was very calm, and didn’t think that the first season of “Bears Infested” was bad, at best it was a quasi-emperor or something.
This is the premiere, what’s the hurry?
These two bears really have to watch the reruns, or even the second and third seasons.
“Running fast doesn’t necessarily mean winning, and not falling is success!”
Borrowing a sentence from 8848’s advertisement, Gu Miaoyu said earnestly: “I’ve said it all, “Bear Infested” is the kind of steady and steady game, why are you still fantasizing about reaching the sky in one step?”
“My my…”
Lao Zhang quickly apologized and said: “I’m just worried! After all, we placed too high expectations on the “Bear Infested” project.”
“I can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry!” Gu Miao shook her head and sighed, “As long as our ratings are still rising and the children like Xiong Da Xiong Er very much, then don’t worry.”
Pleasant Goat is a genius!
Astonishing the world as soon as he was born, he is equivalent to the “Heaven’s Proud Son” in fantasy novels, a peerless genius who only emerges once in tens of thousands of years.
But Haunted Bear is not a genius, or even a mediocrity, and the start is very mediocre.
But relying on one step at a time, it surpassed countless opponents and stood at the highest position.
So Gu Miao is not in a hurry.
Like this kind of potential stocks, just hold them in your hands and cultivate them slowly. Now let “Bear Infested” dominate your life, isn’t that just a dream?
Compared to “Bear Infested”, Gu Miao at this time is more concerned about the “game to manga” plan proposed by Naifly.
Naifly has great ideas.
They know very well that there is no chance to do another Wanbao animation that started with Pleasant Goat. Entering so late, the cost of trial and error is quite high.
Therefore, Naifly chose a conservative route—emphasis on IP and less on originality!
Among many IPs, comics and novels are more suitable for adapting animations. Naifly has not been involved too much, and its experience in this area is not rich enough, so it dare not enter the market rashly.
They choose the game.
As a partner, after Naifly decided to take the “game change” route, it quickly approached Wanbao, and said proudly: “Hey buddy! I have a few good ideas here, how about we work together?”
“OK! OK!”
Anyway, Naifly paid for it, and Gu Miao didn’t mind listening to it. What idea did they come up with?
The result shocked him greatly.
It can only be said that Naifly deserves to be Naifly, and the contacts and relationships in Europe and America are really ridiculously hard.
The targets they selected are all kinds of popular online games, popular stand-alone games and well-known 3A masterpieces on the market.
Among them, Gu Miao saw “Angry Birds”, “Warcraft”, and also saw the world-famous “Counter-Strike” and “League of Legends”…
“seriously?”
Gu Miao never thought that Naifly could even get the authorization of these games. The one that surprised him most was probably League of Legends.
As expected of Naifly!
Gu Miao, while lamenting Naifly’s supernatural powers, is also seriously thinking about the differences, pros and cons of these game IPs.
The game IPs selected by Naifly are well-known all over the world, and they are also very interesting when they are adapted into animations.
Among them, Gu Miao is most eager and has the most ideas, probably “League of Legends”.
Unfortunately, he has self-knowledge.
Wanbao’s current production strength requires the addition of Dave’s team in order to forcefully produce a big cast like “Battle of Two Cities”.
That’s not the point…
If you really want to do the Twin Cities, at worst, you can transfer Dave’s team to China, or go to find some big names in the industry. In short, there is no problem with the manpower.
The question is time!
Such a super big IP, such a project, what can be achieved without tossing for two or three years?
“Tom and Jerry” is no longer done?
Wanbao has not produced new works for so long, and it has been silent for two or three years just to polish this work. Is it worthwhile?
So in the end…
Although Gu Miao really wanted the IP of “League of Legends” and wanted to tell Naifly about the idea of Shuangcheng, but reason told him that this was not realistic.
“How about Angry Birds?”
Gu Miao pondered: “Can this IP be won? I think it would be quite interesting if this game is adapted into an animation.”
“no problem!”
Naifly readily agreed.
However, they also have a requirement, that is, the animation adapted from this game must give priority to audiences in Europe and the United States.
Don’t ask, the main market of Naifly is Europe and the United States. When they invest in an animation, they must give priority to whether it can create value for themselves.
If Wanbao follows its own habits, and only caters to Chinese audiences in terms of plot and lines, then it would be meaningless for Naifly to invest in this animation.
After all, they have no market in China, even if the animation is produced, it will be a mess in China, and it will not be able to help them expand their business and members…
Regarding this point, Gu Miao expressed her understanding.
Even if Naifly didn’t say it, he wouldn’t make such a mistake. After all, it is their duty to take care of the donor’s feelings.
After finishing the call with Naifly’s executives, Gu Miao rubbed the center of her brows with an indescribably uncomfortable expression.
angry Birds?
This thing… the original version seems to be a movie, right? It seems a bit difficult to adapt it into TV animation!
This is not the key, the key is who will supervise the production of this animation? He himself must have no time because of “The Adventures of Uncle Dragon”.
Hou Bin is busy working on the project of “Little Fugui, the Chef”, Huang Kun is tossing about “Pigman: Bravely Entering the Future City”, Du Hao is watching lions in Africa, Director Wang is worrying about the year of the monkey movie at the end of the year…
Why don’t you let Ma Kui go!
Anyway, if he is idle, he is idle, and sending him to earn dollars is considered waste utilization.
The sky is dry and the things are dry, so pay attention to the safety of fire. The mountain behind my house was almost burned. Fortunately, it was extinguished in time…
