My Animation Era

Chapter 1095 Xiao Wanbao is actually a gangster?

 It has to be the cake brother!

Gu Miao didn't really approve of the other brothers, including the four top guys on campus, but he was the only one who called him "brother" with all his heart.

 Not only because of the charisma of Brother Biscuit, but also because he is the same on the outside.

I have had a crush on Okja since I was a child. I have always been shy when it comes to things related to Okja. I want to confess but always fail due to various accidents.

This time in the theatrical version of "Tamako Love Story", I successfully expressed my feelings to Okja and received a response from Okja.

Everyone says that Okoko is well-shaped and cute, but who knows how much effort Oji Moko has put into pursuing the girl he loves?

“It’s right for them to get together. I think even if it’s a fan work, this pair of childhood sweethearts won’t be easily separated.”

 Huang Kun accompanied Gu Miao to watch the gun version of "Yu Zi Love Story", and then couldn't help but sigh.

 The curse of Qingmei being defeated by the sky has been broken!

 At least in "Tamako Love Story", the childhood sweethearts achieved a complete victory, their sweetness was beyond the limit, and everyone was envious.

 “What are you envious of?”

Gu Miao glanced at Huang Kun strangely: "Do you also have a childhood sweetheart who you have had a crush on for a long time and can't fall in love with?"

"Yes, I have!"

“I really liked her at that time. The day I learned that she found a boyfriend, I shed a lot of little pearls...”

At this age, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Huang Kun admitted frankly that he did have such a childhood sweetheart.

 It’s a pity that I missed it.

It's not a cliche drama like Qingmei losing to the sky. He is not the male protagonist of the second dimension Asasi, how could he have such a blessing?

It’s just that she was rejected when she confessed her love, and then watched her beloved fall into the arms of others.

 “Then you’re pretty miserable.”

 Gu Miao smiled heartlessly and said: "But that's normal, reality is not two-dimensional. Most childhood sweethearts can only be friends in the end, and some can't even be friends."

Childhood sweethearts sounds good.

 But in reality, how many pairs of childhood sweethearts finally achieve success?

Whether it’s because we’re too familiar with each other and it’s hard to start, or maybe we grew up and had our own lives, and gradually lost contact...

Anyway, Gu Miao rarely sees cases where childhood sweethearts become successful friends in a true sense. Most of the childhood sweethearts end up having their own loves and can only become good friends.

 So this is the meaning of the existence of "Okja Love Story", or the beautiful yearning that the audience has placed on it!

 It is precisely because cases of childhood sweethearts becoming successful friends, both in the second dimension and in reality, are so rare that Gu Miao supported the project and production of the film.

“The box office will definitely not be too high.”

After making a judgment on "Yuzi Love Story", Gu Miao immediately added: "But this must be a well-reputed work of Wanbao Neon Division and one of the masterpieces mentioned!"

The box office won’t be too high, mainly due to the subject matter, a youth romantic comedy. The content does not have any elements of passionate fantasy, so it is difficult to stimulate high box office.

What?

Take "Your Name" as an example?

 This is not appropriate! Your name has the fantasy element of "swapping bodies" in it, and there is also a passionate and touching scene of the town being destroyed by a meteorite.

On the other hand, "Tamako Love Story" does not have that kind of fantasy element, and the plot does not have astonishing plot points such as "meteors falling from the sky". It only tells stories about short-lived parents and ignorant youth.

This kind of bland campus youth love is suitable for one person to enjoy slowly at home and immerse oneself in the story, but it is not suitable for a group of people to watch in a movie theater.

 That's why Gu Miao concluded that the box office of the movie "Tamako Love Story" will not be too high, maybe only 2 to 300 million yen.

 Compared with the investment, this box office can only barely recover the cost.

However, from the beginning, Kyoani Studio did not focus on the box office, and Gu Miao did not expect to make money from "Tamako Love Story".

The goal of this video is word-of-mouth!

 Create a good reputation so that the audience can remember Kyoani Studio and Wanbao Animation. Every time Wanbao Neon Division is mentioned, they will think of this well-received film. That is considered a great success.

 As for making money, that is the task of "Dragon Ball: World No. 1".

Speaking of Dragon Ball The Movie, even though Huang Kun hasn’t paid much attention to it, in this Internet age, it’s hard for him not to know about it.

As soon as you turn on your mobile phone and computer, you can always find news about Dragon Ball The Movie in various news software, video software, and even social platforms and forum communities.

 “The heat is really ridiculous!”

Huang Kun sighed.

If the attention and popularity of "Tamako Love Story" is 10, then the Dragon Ball The Movie is 100 or even higher.

 Completely incomparable…

 "Okja Love Story" was released at Neon Cinema, but there are almost no discussion posts and comments on the domestic Internet.

　　On the contrary, the Dragon Ball Theatrical Edition, which has not yet been announced, seems to be transformed into a variety of "experience books" and is being used for discussion by netizens.

 “There’s nothing surprising about this, it’s a Dragon Ball after all!”

Gu Miao said disapprovingly: "You don't know what kind of animation IP Dragon Ball is, right? The top ten animation IPs in the world were selected not long ago. Are they making trouble with you?"

“Top ten animation IPs in the world?”

"Yes! It was done by a financial media. It is said that some professional appraisers were hired to evaluate the commercial value of the popular animation IPs in the mainstream, and then ranked them..."

Gu Miao also just saw it not long ago.

To put it aside, although this ranking list was created by a group of laymen who have little connection with the animation industry, it is quite professional.

Especially their evaluation of the value of each anime IP, which surprised Gu Miao.

 "Dragon Ball" is at the top of the list, and this financial media estimated its commercial value to be about US$2 billion.

 How is this value derived?

 2 billion U.S. dollars sounds very abstract and unrealistic, but only Gu Miao himself knows that if he were to assess the value of Longzhu, it would be almost the same amount.

What? Dragon Balls are more than that. They are obviously worth more money?

 This makes no sense!

Anyway, whoever spends 2 billion US dollars now, Gu Miao will definitely sell the "Dragon Ball" series to him without blinking an eye, without any regrets.

 Even if he knew that the entire Dragon Ball series was worth more than this amount of money and could create more profits, it would be useless.

 This 2 billion represents cash!

 You said that this IP will make a lot of money in the future, but how long is this "future"? ten years? Or twenty years?

In front of us, the 2 billion that can be taken away with a nod and the 3 billion to 4 billion that will take more than ten or twenty years to be taken away. Any fool knows to choose the former. Do you really think that the cost of time is not a cost?

Wanbao accounts for half of the top ten animation IPs in the world selected by this financial media.

  134579 are all Wanbao’s IP! Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Superman, Tom and Jerry, and SpongeBob SquarePants are among them. Counting Dragon Ball, there are a total of six places.

With such a controversial list, it is no wonder that it was questioned by the entire Internet as soon as it was released. This financial media was also stigmatized by netizens as a "brainless boaster."

 In fact, they were quite unjust.

They have nothing to do with Wanbao. This list is just from the perspective of a financial analyst to simply evaluate which animation IPs are more valuable.

As a result, because Wanbao Animation has many works on the list, netizens feel that this list is not fair enough. After all, based on this list, wouldn’t Wanbao Animation be the animation company with the highest IP value in the world?

"It really is!"

Facing doubts from netizens, the editor-in-chief of the financial media said frankly: "If you only look at the past ten years, Wanbao is undoubtedly the animation company with the highest IP value."

“Most of the animation IPs we rank are animation works from the past ten years with relatively high commercial value. Is it strange that Wanbao is on the list so much?”

 It’s hard to say whether it’s the first few decades or the next few decades.

 But in the past ten years, if Wanbao doesn’t deserve to dominate the list, then which other company deserves to dominate the list?

 …

 The controversy caused by the so-called "ranking of the world's top ten animation IP values" is still hotly debated across the Internet.

After briefly chatting about this matter, Huang Kun also told him the reason for his visit.

The theme of the second season of the animation "Wandering the Animation World" is "competition", which roughly covers animation works such as "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "Prince of Tennis", "Go Boy", "Rapid Crossing the Line" and "Four Wheel Brothers" .

According to the production standards of the first season, which is 12 episodes in one dungeon world, the length of the second season will be 60 episodes!

This is too long...

Therefore, Huang Kun believes that the second season should be "downsized", slightly reducing the length of certain dungeon worlds, and controlling the total number of episodes to less than 52.

 But he was not sure about Mr. Gu’s attitude.

  If any of these dungeon worlds is more popular with Mr. Gu, but he cuts the length of it and makes Mr. Gu unhappy, wouldn't that be a bad thing?

 So he came here specifically to ask for advice.

 “Resudden can’t be cut, this series itself is already cool enough, we’re all hoping to become famous through “Wandering the Animation World”!”

“You can’t delete too much from Prince of Tennis. After all, the theme of the second season is competition, and the world of Prince of Tennis really fits the theme..."

 Gu Miao analyzed and analyzed, and suddenly found that among these dungeon worlds, the only one that was easier to delete content was actually "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

no way!

  Yu-Gi-Oh is very popular right now. Even if it doesn’t appear in “Wandering Animation World”, there is no need to worry about its popularity.

 Looking at several other animations, they all need the traffic brought by "Wandering the Animated World", and there are many sequels to Yu-Gi-Oh, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Oh well!"

 Huang Kun also agrees with this analysis. It is true that "Yu-Gi-Oh!" now has a new game every year and is very popular. It does not need "Wandering Animation World" to help attract traffic and become popular.

 Whenever the popularity stops, it would be appropriate to add it again.

certainly!

 This is not the main reason.

There is another reason that Gu Miao didn't say, but he knew that Huang Kun would definitely understand, that is, the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" still has a bit of fantasy fairy tale color after all.

 The Pharaoh and the Three Illusory Gods…

 Dark Games and Millennium Artifacts!

This kind of power system appears in the competition-themed second season. To be honest, it feels weird.

Everyone is playing tennis, Go, four-wheel drive vehicles and remote control cars. There are no big threats in the world we live in. Why are you the only one with gods, demons and monsters?

 “Then just a brief mention…”

Huang Kun mused: "This season, Xiao Wanbao travels to the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" mainly to experience the fun of playing cards, and will not be deeply involved in the plot."

“Wait until next season, when the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! changes, let Xiao Wanbao go back to save it and get deeply involved in the plot.”

"This is acceptable!"

Gu Miao nodded.

Although the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" doesn't seem to be very dangerous, it's nothing more than a group of children playing cards.

 But if you delve into the plot, you will find that in the first two seasons of Duel Kingdom and Duel City, a bad card game can really kill someone.

Dark games are no joke. Bekas can even capture the soul of Grandpa Game. Who knows what other unknown methods are hidden?

 Xiao Wanbao really doesn’t have a very good means of self-defense at the moment. Red Wolf’s infinite frying pan is just a joke. You don’t expect it to be able to resist soul-level attacks, right?

“Little Wanbao will first go to the world of Leisuden, meet Lingfeng Lingyun who has not yet stepped onto the court, help them grow up, and eventually win the championship! Then the world of Prince of Tennis, she will move into Longma’s house as Longma’s distant cousin...”

“Huh? Cousin Ryoma?”

Huang Kun was halfway through speaking when Gu Miao was stunned.

Xiao Wanbao travels through the animation world, doesn’t he have a gangster identity? Why was she given an identity that didn't appear in the original novel during this time travel?

"no way!"

Huang Kun explained with a wry smile: "Pleasant goats and bears are everywhere in the world. It doesn't matter whether they are gangsters or not. No one will check anyway, and the audience won't mind this. But in the modern urban context, the problem of gangsters like Xiao Wanbao is much more serious. ”

Who cares whether you are a gangster or not in Qingqing Grassland and Gouxiong Ridge? Mr. Baobao doesn’t check the household registration!

But in the modern urban world of Lei Sudeng, Prince of Tennis, and Four Drivers Brothers, if Xiao Wanbao, a seven-and-a-half-year-old girl, is a gangster without identity, the consequences...

It is precisely based on this consideration that in the second season of "Wandering the Animated World", after discussing with the writing team, Huang Kun decided to cover Xiao Wanbao's time travel as an "animation elf" and give her a local identity.

 In the Leisuden world, she is Ling Feng Lingyun’s neighbor. In the Prince of Tennis world, she is Ryoma's distant cousin. In the world of Four Drivers Brothers, she is an orphan adopted by Dr. Tsuchiya. In the youth world of Go, she is a little beggar who follows the old beggar Lin Xincheng to beg for food...

 With a suitable identity, you can better enter the plot.

 Otherwise, if Xiao Wanbao's gangsters break in, how can they get in touch with the plot characters and correct the deviated plot?

I was afraid that it was photographed by the monitoring probe as soon as it appeared, and then twisted the police station as a child who was trafficked.

　　　Laughing to death!

 I heard that you are the protagonist of Infinite Stream?

Feel sorry! Without proof of identity, you will be treated as a gangster in modern society!

“If I give Xiao Wanbao an identity, will he be pranked by the audience later?” Gu Miao suddenly thought.

Standing in front of you now are cousin Longma, senior sister Jiang Liuer, bald Qiang’s adopted daughter, Gray Wolf’s matchmaker, the white moonlight shared by brothers Fengyun and Liehao...

 Ahem!

Some strange identity seems to have appeared?
