My Animation Era

  Chapter 230 The previous village will never come back! (seeking subscription)

   After dealing with the issue of animation ending production, the time has come to the new year and new January.

   Saturday, January 1, 2012.

   This day is not only the legal holiday New Year's Day, but also the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the traditional holiday Laba Festival.

  According to regulations, New Year's Day will be a holiday!

  Not only today, including Saturdays and Sundays, the entire New Year’s Day holiday adds up to three days, and I didn’t start working until January 4th.

   But this is normal...

  For Wanbao Group, especially Wanbao Animation, although New Year’s Day is a statutory holiday and most employees can take a break, some still stick to their posts.

  For example, Wolf Castle Studio, led by the silly apprentice Xiao Guo, is in charge of producing the TV animation of the third season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

   and Hou Bin’s leadership, formerly known as Feiyang Animation’s Feiyang Studio…

Do not misunderstand!

   This is not Gu Miao forcing or threatening them to work overtime. In fact, since the company established the "studio" system, he has rarely intervened in management affairs.

  Xiao Guo and Hou Bin belong to voluntary overtime.

  The Spring Festival is approaching, and the time is already very tight. In addition, the animation production process is complicated, and the project they are responsible for is very important, and there is no delay.

  It’s just a New Year’s Day holiday...

  If it wasn't for taking care of the feelings of other members of the studio, they probably both wanted to send a notice saying that the studio would not be on holiday for the Spring Festival this year.

   "That's not okay."

  Gu Miao shook her head and denied, "There is still a holiday for Chinese New Year! If you don't have a holiday for Chinese New Year, what do you make those employees think?"

   Isn’t that pure cattle and horses!

  Being a worker also has its own bottom line. After working hard for a year, who doesn’t look forward to going home for the New Year? If there is no holiday during the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that a large number of employees will leave next year.

   "I'll just say whatever I want."

  Xiao Guo nodded and said: "There will definitely be a holiday during the Chinese New Year. I just want to hurry up and finish a few more episodes before the Spring Festival holiday."

   I have finished more than 20 episodes.

  For Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf TV's "A Happy Year for Sheep and Goat" in the third season with a total of 100 episodes, this progress is not fast.

  That's why Xiao Guo is so anxious.

  You must know that the annual meeting is coming soon, and the end of the annual meeting is the Spring Festival holiday. After the Spring Festival holiday, then go to February.

  According to the original plan...

  The third season of Pleasant Goat animation is going to be aired in this year's school season, as a "school gift" for children.

   But judging from the current progress, it may be a bit difficult to catch up with the spring semester.

   It’s not that Xiao Guo and Wolf Castle Studio didn’t work hard enough, it’s simply that Pleasant Goat’s third season’s style change was a bit big, which made it difficult for the production team to control, so the progress seemed so slow.

To know…

  When the first season of Pleasant Goat was produced, Gu Miao set a peak record of "ten episodes a day". During the production of the second season of "Sheep and Goat Games", although the progress has slowed down a lot, it still maintains the progress of one episode a day, at most one episode in two days.

   In comparison, the third season was too slow.

   This kind of slowness is not the slowness of "slow work and meticulous work", but the slowness caused by indecision.

   “Season 3 was a transition period.”

  Gu Miao saw the worry of the silly apprentice, and said in a voice of relief: "I know you must be hesitant now, but it doesn't matter, just do what you think is right."

  "You think the wolf catches the sheep is the right direction, OK! Then continue to implement this route in the third season, don't think about the script."

   "No! I didn't mean that..."

  Xiao Guo shook his head.

  In fact, after he got the script, he privately considered how "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" should go in the future.

   Wolf Caught Sheep has been filmed for two seasons!

  To be precise, 530 episodes in the first season, 60 episodes in the second season, and 60-70 episodes in the third season also fall into this category, adding up to six or seven hundred episodes.

   This article is already very long.

  Seeing now, the children who still love "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are actually fans of "Wolf Catch the Sheep".

  He changed the story line and style rashly, trying to make the wolf and the sheep coexist peacefully.

   To put it bluntly!

   This is a backstab, a backstab for those fans who have always supported and loved "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

  But if you don’t do this, after watching Wolf Catch Sheep for so long, the plot will no longer feel “fresh”, and a large number of viewers will be lost soon.

  So Xiao Guo looked very painful.

  He knows that the master is right, there is no "future" for wolves to catch sheep.

  What the third season of TV animation has to do is very simple, that is, to give "each other" a step up, completely correct the "wolf-sheep cooperation", bid farewell to the old audience, and welcome the new audience.

   But he still wants to struggle.

"Pointless!"

  Gu Miao shook her head, expressing her disapproval: "You have to remember one thing, the animation characters will not grow up, but the animation audience will grow up!"

   Pleasant Goat will be three years old soon.

  Three years of ups and downs, the children who had just entered the first grade of junior high school will soon graduate from junior high school and enter high school.

  Time changes a person!

  Perhaps when he was in the first year of junior high school, he liked watching Pleasant Goat very much. Every day he watched Big Big Wolf trying every means to catch the sheep, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

   But in the third year of junior high school, or even in high school, will he still be as obsessed with Pleasant Goat as before?

Not anymore!

  As Tiga Ultraman, the victory team member said to Obike, the old village will never come back!

   Obsessed with the past and unwilling to face reality, is it not the true portrayal of animators like Gu Miao and Xiao Guo?

   Pleasant Goats don’t grow up…

   Big Big Wolf will not grow old, the animation producers can keep their original intentions, and always provide everyone with the joy of meeting for the first time.

  But the audience will grow up!

  Gu Miao has already seen that Xiao Guo's current mentality is the same as that of Obike who believes that "the village will return to its original state".

  He feels that there is still hope for "the wolf catching the sheep"!

  As long as we keep the style of the first two seasons and continue to tell you the story of "the wolf catches the sheep", Pleasant Goat can still capture everyone and gain everyone's love.

   But this is impossible.

  No matter how wonderful a story is, it will become boring after being told a thousand times. No matter how beautiful the love story is, it will feel hypocritical after listening to it a thousand times.

  The mission of the wolf to catch the sheep is over.

   "This is not about backstabbing the old audience before, but about cutting off the tail to survive! Let the IP of Pleasant Goat unload, and you can go further and create more possibilities..."

  Gu Miao patted Xiao Guo on the shoulder, regardless of whether he listened to it or not, turned around and said, "The decision is in your hands!"

   "No matter what you choose, I will support you as a master! I only hope that you can mature a bit. If you want to become an excellent animation producer, you have to face this matter."

  Shake it off? put pressure on?

   Actually not!

  Whether Pleasant Goat’s third season’s reputation is rave reviews, or being ridiculed for “younger age” is getting worse and worse, it all depends on Xiao Guo’s own choice.

  He just made a suggestion!
