My Animation Era

  Huang Kun has considered this part very comprehensively, even Gu Miao can't fault it.

   But one thing, Huang Kun didn't know what to do for the time being.

   That's the end!

   "Roaming in the Animation World" mainly tells the story of the cute baby Xiao Wanbao traveling through various animation worlds and bringing back the distorted plot line to its original state.

  Then how should this story end?

   "My opinion is that..."

  "The real ending is not considered for the time being, at least for ten or twenty years, the real ending is not considered."

  Gu Miao pondered for a moment and said: "As long as our Wanbao is still launching new animations, then Xiao Wanbao's adventure can continue, at most, a sequel will be released every few years."

   "As for the ending of each season of animation, it is enough to end a certain world chapter."

  "Assuming that the first season of the animation is based on the two worlds of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested", then after the tasks in the bear infested world are completed, the first season of the animation can be concluded logically."

"OK."

  Huang Kun nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, let's end the first season like this!"

  The real ending?

  According to Mr. Gu's words, it is impossible to finish the animation "Roaming the Animation World" in a short time, so there is no need to consider this.

  If ten or twenty years later, the roaming animation world series can no longer be done, and no audience will like to watch it. When it comes time to end it, then it is not too late to consider the ending method.

   After talking about the setting system, the time has come to twelve noon.

   Gu Miao, who happened to be a little hungry, took Huang Kun to the company cafeteria to solve the lunch problem, but unexpectedly heard the employees discussing "SpongeBob SquarePants" in the lobby.

   "The yellow sponge is really hot!"

   "Yeah! I just came back from a business trip in Europe, and the people over there are crazy about SpongeBob SquarePants..."

   "Europe? Isn't North America the hottest region for SpongeBob SquarePants? Why is Europe also very popular?"

   "Of course! Let me tell you, the most popular animation in Europe and America, including South America and Australia, is definitely SpongeBob SquarePants."

   "Fuck! The North American branch is making a lot of money..."

  Huang Kun, who returned to his seat after grabbing a work meal, couldn't help but asked when he heard the discussions around him: "Is "SpongeBob SquarePants" really so popular overseas? Why do I hear...is it a bit exaggerated?"

   "No exaggeration!"

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all. SpongeBob SquarePants is now overseas, and it's completely Dugu Qiubai-level animation IP."

   "Dragon Ball GT doesn't work either?"

"no!"

   Gu Miao denied: "Although Dragon Ball is also a world-class animation, its audience recognition and popularity in Europe and the United States are still not as wide as "SpongeBob SquarePants."

   "This... is a bit outrageous!"

  Huang Kun took a spoonful of potatoes and stuffed them into his mouth, then muttered, "SpongeBob SquarePants, I personally think, should be similar to cat and mouse and Bugs Bunny."

   "It's pretty much the same, but on a commercial level, SpongeBob is more successful."

   Speaking of this, Gu Miao couldn't help but sigh.

   "Tom and Jerry" and "Bugs Bunny" have the same wide influence and successfully achieve the effect of breaking the circle, but the commercialization is not as successful as "SpongeBob SquarePants".

   This should be a problem with the style of painting?

  If artistic pursuits are not considered, the animation style of "SpongeBob SquarePants" will indeed be more in line with the preferences and appetites of European and American audiences.

  Of course, in terms of classic level and artistic atmosphere, it is definitely not as good as "Tom and Jerry" such a hallowed animation work.

   But this is about commercialization and profitability...

  Dave did make crazy money.

  The employee guessed right. Dave was indeed making a lot of money at this moment. He had never been so rich before. He directly distributed a huge bonus of more than 2 million US dollars to the team members.

   "Happier than winning an Oscar statuette?"

"Yes!"

  Dave answered Gu Miao in this way. His joy now even surpassed that when he was on the main stage of the Oscars for the first time.

  In his words, he and his team have always been troubled by the difficulty of integrating art into the market.

  At the beginning, because of the lack of profitability, the animation could not make money, so the dignified seven-time Oscar-winning team had to sell themselves to Wanbao as a maid in the end.

  Seven Oscar winners!

  How amazing is this heavy honor? But who would have imagined that in the end, the seven-time champion team would not even be able to pay their employees' salaries.

   Having had such a tragic experience, Dave attaches great importance to and is excited about the bumper harvest of "SpongeBob SquarePants".

  The birth of "Tom and Jerry" can only allow them to gain a firm foothold in Wanbao and prove their accomplishments in the field of artistic animation.

   But to be honest, which one of the studios under Wanbao Animation is not an expert in making money?

  Only the North American branch has not contributed a penny to the headquarters since its establishment, and even needs the headquarters to allocate funds for assistance.

  Compared with breakthroughs in trophies, Dave wanted to achieve success at the commercial level, proving that Wanbao’s North American division also had strong profitability, and it was not the one that held back Wanbao the most.

   This can also understand his excitement.

The animation "SpongeBob SquarePants" became an instant hit, and achieved world-renowned results in Europe and the United States. The commercialization was extremely successful, and the North American branch finally stood up straight and said: We can live happily without funding from the headquarters. Moisturize!

   This is a good thing.

  Gu Miao is happy to see the independence of the North American branch. After all, they have been allocated funds, and other subsidiaries and studios will inevitably gossip.

what?

  Everyone is making offerings to Mr. Gu, so it’s fine if you Dave doesn’t, and you even want to reward Mr. Gu? What a face? Just because you are a nine-time Oscar winner?

   "There are more than nine crowns!"

  Huang Kun said with a smile: "SpongeBob is so successful, Dave should be able to win the tenth Oscar statuette this year, right?"

"Not too possible."

   Gu Miao shook her head and denied: "You can look forward to the Annie Award, after all, it is more professional and there are not so many off-site factors."

   Tell the truth.

  Oscar also accounts for a high enough reputation, and it is relatively cheap to be recognized by outsiders.

  In the eyes of real animators, the Annie Award is more valuable and more authoritative.

   But Gu Miao doesn't care much about awards anymore. After all, Wanbao has basically won all the awards that should be won.

  When works such as "The Lion King" and "Tom and Jerry" were released or broadcast, they basically swept all kinds of awards and trophies.

  Take the Annie Award as an example.

   It's not that "SpongeBob SquarePants" needs this award to increase its reputation, but that this award needs "SpongeBob SquarePants" to increase its gold content.

  Causality cannot be mistaken.

   Really **** off Wanbao and Gu Miao, and one day they will directly announce their withdrawal from the sponsorship and competition for this award. Guess who is most anxious at that time?
