Best wishes for animation production

"this……"

Gu Rou was a little puzzled. Her idea was that now that Nendoroid has proven to have excellent commercial value and does not worry about the audience, then increasing the number of large-scale products or developing a new series of Nendoroid figures is the way to go.

Just like making food, if a product is well received, of course it should be operated as a basic product. As for new products? It needs to be developed, but everything must wait until the fundamentals are stable, because the former is the foundation.

Gu Xue explained seriously: "Sister, I understand your worries, but figurines are not about making food. This is an industry where IP is king. It's not just about making products. Our yuki studio doesn't have that much money to grab it everywhere. IP, and relying on our own IP, is limited for the time being. First of all, the subject matter limits us."

Although Gu Xue didn’t know much about the figurine company in her previous life, GSC, as the latest company to be established among the Royal Three, its rise is largely due to the two phenomenal IPs it won— —Hatsune Miku and fate series.

Gu Rou thought for a while and said, "Okay, if you have confidence, I believe you."

To be honest, Gu Rou still didn't understand, but she thought about it and didn't say anything.

Let your sister do the hard work...

"It's not that I have confidence, I just want to give it a try. Of course, the Nendoroid series will continue to be developed, but Small Company really doesn't have many cards at this stage, whether it's "My Youth Love Story" or "Monthly Girl Nozaki" "Jun" all have their own limitations. Based on the current ability of Nendoroid to attract money, if my guess is correct, we will soon have competitors, and by then we will not be able to beat those who hold many big IPs. Big factory.”

“So, I want to try to release a few more topical works to maintain the popularity and competitiveness of small companies, and survive this period of competition, which should be difficult, until our new Nendoroid figures are developed, or Our YUKI studio produces new IP."

Gu Rou: "Isn't it true that no one has made clay figures before? And we have registered a trademark..."

Gu Xue shook her head: "Can't we just change the name, for example, 'Q version movable doll'? The patent is useless, it's too easy to circumvent."

There are actually a lot of Q-version figures or dolls in this world. There are gashapon machines here. Many of them have small dolls like that, and there are also decorations stuck on the rim of the cup. Q-version dolls, but made into movable, Q-version figures with big heads like Nendoroids, there are currently only small companies.

"..."

"sister."

Seeing that Gu Rou seemed to be a little autistic, Gu Xue patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, making figurines is indeed different from food..."

"No, I was thinking, you said you would release a few more topical works to get through the tough competition period, but we can't develop them. There are only so many prototypers, and it is too difficult to develop a prototype of a figure. Sorry, the Totsuka Ayaka prototype I mentioned last time was just released yesterday..."

Gu Xue tilted her head and looked at Gu Rou: "So, making figures is not making food. We are making figures. We don't necessarily have to have actual products to release new projects. Have you ever heard of making big cakes, dear? elder sister?"

"...?"

"Forget it, you'll find out later."

Gu Xue also understood that he would not be able to explain it for a while.

She turned directly to look at Sato Ei, who started to doze against her again after listening to her explanation.

Sato Ei: "..."

She seemed to sense a dangerous aura and looked at Gu Xue quietly.

"Hey, Xiao Ei." Gu Xue put her arms around Sato Ei's slender waist, "You are a beautiful supervisor now, right?"

Sato Ei seemed to sense the dangerous aura and woke up instantly. If she was really Erha, she would have pricked up her ears and put on a serious face at this moment.

"I don't……"

"Little Rina~"

Gu Xue didn't listen to Sato Ei's denial at all, and suddenly turned to look at Shirakawa Rina, and put her other hand around her waist: "You are a beautiful cartoonist, right?"

"..." Shirakawa Rina was silent for a moment, "Don't think that just because you treat us to a beef rice meal, you can hug us..."

Gu Xue said seriously: "What about hugging me from left to right? How can I be so superficial? You are all my wings."

Dogs are human beings’ friends and a good helper in healing the soul.

It's not wrong to say wings.

Gu Xue added silently in her heart.

Of course Shirakawa Rina didn't know what Gu Xue was thinking.

Listen to what Gu Xue said.

She stopped struggling, put her hands on Gu Xue's shoulders, rolled her eyes at her, and said, "Don't be so disgusting... Tell me, what do you want us to do?"

"It's very simple..."

…

August 15th.

Gregorian calendar.

It’s still early for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On this day, the sixth episode of "Guo Qing" was released and ushered in the broadcast.

More than twenty minutes later.

In the play, Yuigahama Yui wears the necklace that Hikigaya Hachiman originally prepared for her dog due to a misunderstanding... and becomes angry.

Amid the laughter of the audience in front of the screen, the ED of the sixth episode sounded.

This episode directly elevates YUKI Studio's "My Youthful Love Story Has a Problem" to the throne of the most popular new series in July. By the way, the second season of "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" which is still struggling to its death has been promoted to the throne of the most popular new series in July. Kicked down...

Faced with such a situation, most viewers, including loyal fans of Tomorrow, are already mentally prepared, because "Guo Qing" is really more interesting than the second season of "Embrace a Better Tomorrow"...

Even the place where Gu Xue once fought.

The production company of "Embrace a Better Tomorrow" - CDD Animation Workshop.

Faced with this fact, everyone accepts it.

Needless to say, the aunts who were in charge of the production treated Gu Xue better than their own daughters. As for the original storyboards for the second season, most of them had worked with Gu Xue in the first season, and they had a peaceful mind. Originally, the second season was under a tight schedule, and they had to rush to release it. Gu Xue was an ordinary pretty person, but when it came to A person who can transform into a little monster through animation, what better than...

The most important thing is that when Gu Xue took on the role of supervisor in the first season, she felt like a shepherd. They only need to follow orders. And now Nakata Satoshi feels like a wild wolf, chasing them everywhere. They are running blindly. Not only do they have no direction, but they are almost exhausted. What is this compared to...

Of course.

Most people feel convinced and have a peaceful mind, but not everyone.

As the leading eldest brother in the second season, Satoshi Nakata has an uneasy mentality.

He, he is convinced...

Because he also followed "My Youthful Love Story", and in the dead of night, he would secretly watch the first season of "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" in order to find some inspiration and ideas. After watching too much, he couldn't To avoid it, you will draw out the first season and compare it with the second season that you made.

The result of the comparison, unless Shi Lezhi is completely subjective, would be a complete failure.

So if he is convinced, he is really convinced.

He was just a little unwilling.

They are both supervisors, so is the difference so big?

Is the difference really that big?

He didn't believe it.

This was what he was unwilling to accept.
