My Animation Era

  Chapter 32 theme song "Lightning Breakthrough"

   "Oh? Selling so fast?"

  Received Lao He's reply, Gu Miao was very surprised. He didn't expect that the toy would already be sold before Lei Sudeng's animation was aired.

  The first batch of experimental Leisudeng remote control racing cars were mass-produced with less than 50,000 units, which were sold to economically developed cities such as Jiangchuan, Zhonghai and Beijing.

I thought…

  There was no publicity in advance, and the "WB" brand, that is, Wanbao's reputation is not well-known. It is estimated that these remote control cars will be sold for half a month, or even a month.

   Unexpectedly, it was sold out in a few days.

  The reason is actually very simple.

  According to the feedback collected by Lao He, the remote control car-related products sold on the market generally have the disadvantages of "bulky" and "expensive".

for example.

  The most popular remote control car in China is from Yangcheng Lida Toys Company. The general size of the products is around 30-50CM, and the price is close to the 1,000 yuan mark.

   "It's too big and too expensive!"

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "The toy car is so big, is it to carry people? And it's so expensive, how many families can afford it?"

   By contrast.

  Lei Sudeng series is much more friendly to the people.

   Not only the size is controlled within 15CM, but also the price is low. The most basic model can be bought for only 98 yuan.

  Exquisite and small, low price.

and…

   Run really fast!

  Based on the above reasons, it is only natural that children love this new remote control car.

   "Don't imitate Lida toys."

   Gu Miao exhorted: "The Lei Sudeng series must be made portable and cheap. It doesn't matter if the racing car earns a little less, the accessories are our big head."

   Selling a car is a one-shot deal!

   But the sale of spare parts is a long-term business. If this part is done well, the money earned will not be less than that of selling cars.

   Don't say too much.

  The kid bought a remote control car, so he has to drive it for a couple of laps, right? Once the car is running, the tires must be worn out, right?

Dear!

   Learn about anti-skid tires, sand tires, track tires?

  The tires are worn out, so is the battery not worn out? Although AA batteries can be used universally, how can there be an "officially recommended" track version battery for the universal version?

   Putting on the track version battery, I am preparing to compete with my friends and try out the "blade overtaking" I just learned, but where is the track?

  Learn about the track assembly kit?

   After playing with friends, regret losing. Driven by the desire to compete, you must find a way to make the car run faster? Steering more flexibly?

  Official brushless motor, steering lubricant you deserve! Buy now and get an extra "Cool Body Sticker"!

   "..."

  After listening to his introduction, Lao He said with embarrassment: "Mr. Gu, I understand what you said, but Wanbao Toys doesn't have a production line for accessories."

   Wanbao was formerly known as Wanzhibao.

  Wanzhibao, which started with plush dolls, has expanded a lot of product lines under the management of the three generations of the Du family, but it has not reached the point of "doing everything".

  There are so many categories of official accessories.

   Wanzhibao can only produce a small part at most, and the rest must be purchased from outside.

   "Purchasing doesn't matter!"

  Gu Miao didn't mind and said, "Buy other people's accessories and seal them in the box of Wanbao Toys. Who dares to say that these are not official products?"

   Think a little more boldly.

   If the Raiden series is really popular, there is no need to purchase accessories.

   At that time, the direct sale will be authorized to these parts factories, and whoever bids the most will become the "Lei Sudeng Officially Certified" parts supplier.

  What is this called?

   Stand up and make money!

  …

   It's just a trivial matter to distribute toys in advance. Even if they are selling well now, the sales are not high after all.

   If you want to open up the market and make the Leisudeng series of remote control cars popular all over the country overnight, you still have to watch the performance of the animation "Leisudeng Lightning Crossing the Line".

   Animatable on…

  As the chief director, Gu Miao has encountered an extremely difficult problem.

theme song!

  As the soul of the animation "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line", the importance of its theme song "Lightning Crossing the Line" is self-evident.

   "Come on Flash, come on Flash!"

   "Leaders, hurry up..."

  Even after many years, the children of the past grow up, and their edges and corners are gradually smoothed by life. But as soon as the prelude of this song sounded, they seemed to return to their childhood, to that summer, and to the racing field where sweat and enthusiasm were swayed.

  What a wonderful childhood memory!

  As the theme song of an animation, it not only resounded across the country at that time, but also maintained 999+ comments in the music software many years later. "Lightning Crossing the Line" is not without success.

no doubt.

   "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" became popular. In addition to the performance of the core male protagonist "Remote Control Car", this theme song that ignited the whole country is also one of the contributors.

   As for Ling Feng Lingyun...

  Who are these two?

  In Gu Miao's opinion, the plot can be changed and the characters can be changed. As long as the "remote control car" and "Lightning Crossing Line" are still there, this animation still has the potential to explode.

  Because this theme song is so important, he was in trouble and didn't know what to do.

  The sheet music has been picked up by someone.

  Fortunately, the melody of "Lightning Crossing the Line" is simple, and the lyrics are more straightforward and rough. The difficulty of compiling the score is not as high as imagined.

   But what about the singer?

  The singing requirements of this song are different from Pleasant Goat's theme song "Don't Look I'm Just a Sheep". It needs to be sung with a feeling of passion.

  Gu Miao has already tried it herself.

  Although his self-evaluation is "singing well" and "sounding pleasant to the ear", the rest of the production team strongly disagreed, preferring to hire others to sing at their own expense.

   In their words.

  The version sung by Mr. Gu himself is too contagious. They are worried that the children will be excited after listening to it, and they will not be able to help destroying the TV at home, causing bad social impact.

   "Okay! Then change..."

   Feeling disgusted, Gu Miao had no choice but to invite a professional singer to record the theme song of "Lightning Crossing the Line".

   Something interesting happened.

  The singer who made the final decision turned out to be the eldest cousin of the singer of "Don't Look I'm Just a Sheep", and the two are relatives.

Not only that.

  In addition to their main job as singers, the two also worked part-time as voice actors, dubbing voices for many animations and movies.

   Isn't this a coincidence!

   Gu Miao, who was criticizing and educating the sound effects engineer, immediately brightened up when she heard the news, as if she saw the possibility of "doing two jobs for one salary".

  So he asked Ma Kui to lobby.

  After selling miserably + courting relationships, and promising more "cooperation opportunities" in the future, the siblings readily agreed to Gu Miao's request.

  They will participate in the dubbing work of "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line" animation, and they will not be paid.

   This is a good man!

  Gu Miao was so moved that she immediately made a decision. In the future, when recording the theme song of the animation, the two brothers and sisters will definitely be given priority.

   Not for anything else, save money!
