My Animation Era

Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed.

In order to facilitate management, Gu Miao established Jiangchuan Wanbao Group, which has three subsidiaries: Wanbao Toys, Wanbao Animation and Wanbao Comics.

Wanbao is the abbreviation of "Wanzhibao".

Wanbao Toys, that is, the previously acquired Wanzhibao Toys. Wanbao Animation is the changed name of Wolf Castle Animation.

The original "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" production team was incorporated into the Wolf Castle Studio under Wanbao Animation to independently produce and operate the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series of animations.

this way……

It is not only convenient for management, but also conducive to the development of the company. When producing new animation works in the future, it is enough to set up another studio.

Similar three-tier architectures are common.

For example, under the Tencent Group, there is a subsidiary Tencent Games. Under Tencent Games, there are also independent studios such as Tianmei and Photon.

Of course, frames belong to frames.

Although the current Wanbao Group sounds quite large, apart from the Wolf Fort Studio, there is only one toy factory in the suburbs.

As for Wanbao comics?

This is a shell company!

Originally, Gu Miao planned to convert the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" TV animation into comics, and then create a monthly magazine similar to "Zhiyin Manke" to test the comics market.

However, the review process is too lengthy.

According to the information that Director Wang helped to inquire about, even if the review of publishing qualifications like this is given a green light all the way, it will take four months at the earliest to get the results.

Then wait slowly.

After adjusting the company's management structure, Gu Miao also carried out a round of promotion for her confidant and love general.

For example, Ma Kui is now the vice president of Wanbao Group and the general manager of Wanbao Animation.

Known as "Vice President Ma"!

It sounds pretty good, but the actual work is still the same as before, and even the salary has not increased.

Huang Kun, the former assistant director and animation supervisor of the Pleasant Goat production team, was promoted to the content director of Wanbao Animation.

Although Director Huang's title is not as smooth as Ma Kui's "Vice President", but in fact, he is Gu Miao's most trusted confidant.

How should I put it...

Although Ma Kui is an animation major, his talent seems to be a little bit off. The animation is not very good, but the administrative management and flattering of the boss are first-class masters.

If he doesn't get promoted, who gets promoted?

Compared with Ma Kui's "not doing business properly", Huang Kun, as an animation director, is much more professional.

Gu Miao is very busy.

Although he has the title of "chief director", in fact, apart from participating in the animation production in the early stage, he basically didn't get involved in the production team in the later stage.

As the animation production of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is on the right track, he has handed over many affairs to Huang Kun to take care of.

To put it bluntly!

Without Huang Kun's conscientiousness and responsibility, there would be no animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", which is now popular. He is the veritable chief director.

Gu Miao liked him very much.

After Pleasant Goat's animation production came to an end, he planned to let Huang Kun lead the team to produce an animation alone, and gradually cultivate a great director of the company.

Cultivate!

It's exciting to think about it.

...

"Oh my god!!!"

"[Dou Zui] [Love]"

Gu Miao, who was instructing the original artist to draw the first version of the character image of "Smart Superman", suddenly received a chat message from Director Wang.

Pleasant Goat broke the record again!

Before the ratings broke through 10 points, it had shocked the industry and made countless people amazed. Now the record has been raised again, the highest audience rating of episode 211 has reached 15.01%!

Now, it's not just the animation circle.

Even the people next door who were engaged in live-action TV series and movies were stunned by the news, which was enough to see how amazing the ratings were.

How outrageous?

In the past few decades, this rating can be squeezed into the top five of the TV program list, and the animation category is the first.

It can be said that this is the animation with the highest ratings and the most influence in ten years, not even one of them.

No wonder Master Wang was so excited.

"Calm down."

Gu Miao replied: "That's where it is! Remember what I said? Pleasant Goat's ratings potential is far more than that."

15% is high.

But it is still a little short of squeezing out the ratings potential. The original version of Pleasant Goat, but almost surpassed the animation program of "Lianbo News".

"What's the meaning?"

"Do you think that the ratings of Pleasant Goat may continue to rise?" Director Wang asked in disbelief.

How can this be!

What an astonishing number 15% is. In the TV circle, it is a proper ten-year hegemony. If it is higher than this, then the viewership share must exceed 80%, right?

Of the ten TVs that are on, at least eight of them are broadcasting Pleasant Goat?

That's outrageous.

It's not that he's timid, but he really doesn't believe that an animation can achieve such a high achievement. This is not the 1980s and 1990s when programs were scarce, but a new era of TV flooding and the rise of the Internet.

"Not possible, but inevitable."

Gu Miao knew what Director Wang was thinking, and explained to him: "Pleasant Goat's peak ratings should be after the broadcast of "Battle in the Weird World."

Breaking through 20% is a bit difficult.

But 17% and 18% can still be won. After all, the quality of the special episode of Weird World is excellent, and the ratings cannot be lower than it is now.

"Then here comes the problem."

"October is coming soon, have you finished your weird world yet? [Curiosity]"

Gu Miao: "..."

He also wanted to finish it as soon as possible, but reality didn't allow it!

"Battle in the Weird World" has a total of 60 episodes of nearly 1,000 minutes, and the workload can be imagined.

Compared with the first 280 episodes of the animation, the 281-340 episodes of the Weird World Special have greatly improved both in terms of painting quality and performance.

what does that mean?

On the premise of improving the quality of the animation, the production progress was instantly stretched. Not to mention ten episodes a day, two episodes a day would be nice.

Starting from mid-September, the first episode of the special "Brave into the Weird World", a total of 40 episodes were produced in 20 days.

The current plot is roughly the stage where Big Big Wolf and the lambs return to the Qingqing Grassland. Because they are worried about the safety of Brother Xiaosha and Dandan, the lambs decide to return to the underground world.

After that, the bright props were destroyed, Brother Xiaosa merged with Dandan, turned into "Superman Xiaosha" and tried to influence Marshal Hei, but unexpectedly brought about the ending of "Big Big Wolf King".

Speaking of...

As the core thread running through "Battle in the Weird World", the bright props are actually Nima's "shower"?

"Original power really knows how to play!"

Gu Miao fell into deep thought after admiring the strange brain circuits of the original power once again.

How is the shower head designed as a toy?

Compared with the various weird inventions of Big Big Wolf in the main chapter, there are not many props that appear in the special chapter of the weird world.

The ones that can be sold as toys are the yin and yang ion balls, bright props, handsome black man and balls.

If the bright prop is a shower, can it be made into a "water gun"?

It seems that it is not impossible.
