My Animation Era

  Chapter 128 Anime Music Special (for subscription)

  Master Cao’s joining has complemented Wanbao Animation’s long-standing weakness in animation soundtrack episodes.

we can even say…

  After this, the soundtrack episodes of Wanbao Animation not only jumped directly to the top level in China, but also ranked among the best in the whole of Asia.

   Don't be surprised!

   After all, Master Cao is an old man who has been in the industry for many years. He has taught many apprentices and has a small team of his own. This is normal, right?

  And what surprised Gu Miao the most was that Master Cao's connections were too good.

  His arrival brought Wanbao the most intuitive change, not just the soundtrack episode. Even original painters, screenwriters, photographers and art designers, he has old acquaintances.

  On his first day at work, when he learned that Gu Miao was worrying about "recruiting people", he immediately submitted a list of more than 30 people.

   In his own words.

  The old man has been in the industry for so many years, maybe he can't do anything else, but he has a lot of friends! This list is full of reliable acquaintances. If you give my name, I guarantee that they will follow you.

   "All I can say is, it's awesome!"

   Ma Kui is worthy of being the inheritor of Sichuan opera's face-changing intangible heritage. He was lukewarm to Master Cao before, but he turned into a licking dog in an instant: "Old senior is worthy of being an old senior. This professional ability is really impressive!"

   "Isn't this nonsense?"

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "Why is he a master, but you are just a little bitch, do you understand now?"

   "Yes yes yes, mine mine."

  Ma Kui sincerely admitted his mistake: "But Mr. Gu, we invited Master Cao here, so we can't let him sit idle and do nothing, right?"

   Yes!

   A salary of one yuan is also a salary. Now that you have received the money and entered the job, you have to work.

  But the problem is...

  Currently Wanbao Animation, apart from the still-produced animation "Rainspeeder Lightning Crossing the Line 2", there are no other projects that require soundtrack episodes?

  Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it.

  Suddenly, he thought of a great idea.

   "Anime Music Compilation?"

Master Cao, who was called to attend the meeting, after listening to Gu Miao's introduction, asked with a puzzled look on his face: "You mean to combine the theme song, episode and background music of an animation and release a separate music album?" ?”

   "Yes, animation music album."

  Gu Miao has a well-thought-out plan.

  This mode may be unfamiliar to domestic audiences. But in foreign countries, especially in countries and regions with perfect music copyright protection, this kind of "movie and animation theme music" album is not uncommon.

   Especially neon!

   In the two-dimensional animation country of Neon, let alone animation works. Even if it is a successful Galgame game, it will launch a special "Music Special Edition/Special Code" for sale.

   This is a very mature business model!

   To put it simply, if an animation is popular, its music is also valuable, and can be sold separately in the form of "album" or "special gift".

   It can also be regarded as expanding the source of income.

   Otherwise, relying on "TV" broadcasting alone, some animations really can't even recover the cost.

   "You can try it!"

   Master Cao nodded and said, "But which animation should we do first? "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"? Or "Dragon Fighter"?"

   "Let's "Dragon Fighter"!"

  Gu Miao explained: "It just so happens that "Dragon Fighter" continues to hit the air, and the popularity of animation is relatively high. At this time, the release of a music special can also feed back the animation."

"sure, no problem."

  Under Gu Miao's guidance, Master Cao quickly found his job direction, led the newly joined Wanbao's soundtrack team, and began to produce the "Dragon Fighter" animation music special.

   And on the other side.

  Gu Miao wasn't idle either. Although "Dragon Fighter" animation rating broke seven and became the most popular TV animation work this summer, there is one thing that must not be forgotten.

  He is also the main supervisor of the animation "Sailor Moon"!

  In the 25th episode aired last week, Makoto Kino, who is a master of cooking and said that he looks like her ex-boyfriend Sailor Jupiter when he saw a handsome boy, made his debut.

   So far, except for the mysterious "Sailor Venus", the first four fighters in the animation, namely Moon, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, have all appeared.

  Actually, Venus is not the latest to appear...

   On the contrary, Venus was the first to wake up and the first Sailor Warrior to appear on the scene. It's just that she has been fighting alone as Sailor V (Sailor V), and the others don't know it.

  Actually, at this point in the plot, almost all the five Sailor Moons have already shown their faces.

The story after    is roughly...

  Jichangwei fell into the hands of the Dark Kingdom, Xiaotu awakened the memory of the "Moon Princess" in her previous life, and with the help of other Sailor Moon, she fought the final battle against the Dark Kingdom.

  It's time to strike!

  Although the old version of "Sailor Moon" animation has been greatly changed compared with the original manga by Naoko Takeuchi, one point is still quite restored.

   That is, the character dies as soon as he says he wants to die!

  Because of the "Silver Crystal" bug, coupled with the outrageous "past life and present life" setting in the original book, it is very common for "Sailor Moon" to die.

   Needless to say, the supporting roles, if you should get the lunch, you will get the lunch, and if you live an extra episode, it is considered the screenwriter's kindness.

  As for the protagonist, he cannot escape death.

  The ending of the first season of the old version of animation, to put it bluntly, it is called "miserable victory", but to put it bluntly, it is "destroyed" by the villain.

  All sailor soldiers except Xiaotu were killed in battle, including the male protagonist, Dachangwei, who also died in Xiaotu's arms at the end.

   This is simply the shadow of childhood!

  Gu Miao still remembers that when he saw Dichangwei said to Xiaotu "be an ordinary girl in the future and find a great boyfriend" before he died, his tears couldn't hold back in an instant.

   Maybe at that moment...

  Having always loved Xiaotu and hated Dichangwei, he finally untied the knot in his heart and wished the couple from the bottom of his heart.

   In fact, many people do not know.

  The finale of the first season of the old animation, that is, the last two episodes, is actually the "original" plot of the animation production team.

  Is this original?

  Gu Miao couldn't give an accurate answer, he could only say that for him when he was a child, the ending of "group destruction" was too impressive.

  Even now that he is an adult and his mental age is over forty, every time he thinks of this ending, he still feels uncomfortable.

  Too cruel!

  Although "Sailor Moon" launched many TV animations in the follow-up, and the plot was even more varied, but Gu Miao still believed that the ending of the first season of the old version was the most abusive plot.

  Then here comes the problem!

  Since the ending of the first season is so abusive, it can be regarded as the lingering childhood shadow of countless people, and it can be regarded as an epic "sword" to trick ignorant boys and girls into tears.

  If there is a chance to do it all over again, will Gu Miao choose to make up for the regret and change this "painful" ending?
