My Animation Era

  Chapter 383 What are you? (seeking subscription)

   Calculated by time...

  The broadcast date of the original version of "Light Energy Messenger" is actually not much later than "Dragon Fighter". It can even be said that the former is the "successor" of the latter.

  But the gap between these two works is quite obvious.

  At least one thing can be seen, that is, compared with Dragon Fighter, Light Messenger has a much more mature and improved plot character.

   This shouldn’t be considered embarrassing, right?

   Gu Miao has seen both animations and likes them both. From the perspective of "emotion", he even prefers "Dragon Fighter".

   But from his point of view, he has to admit that "Light Messenger" is more refined and pleasing in many places than "Dragon Fighter".

   Give a simple example!

  Both animations have elements of "summoning" battle robots, but in the summoning session, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the appearance of the Demon King of Earth is more cool than that of Dragon God.

certainly…

   This is just Gu Miao's subjective opinion, and it doesn't explain anything.

  Some people may think that the appearance of the Demon King of Earth is too exaggerated and naive. Does he prefer the style of the Dragon God?

  This kind of thing is hard to say.

  Anyway, from Gu Miao's point of view, he felt that "Light Energy Messenger" has made great progress. As a companion work, it can be regarded as "blue out of blue and better than blue".

   The ratings bear it out.

  Kuka Children's Channel, as a gradually marginalized children's cartoon channel, has had poor ratings in the past two years, ranking in the middle at best.

  The last animation broadcast at 8 o'clock in the evening, the ratings for the same period were only 1.73%.

  In this context, after the "Light Energy Messenger" produced by Wanbao Animation was broadcast on the Kuka Children's Channel, the highest ratings of 8.11% in the first episode can be said to be eye-popping.

  The average audience rating is also 6.4%!

  After this dazzling report card came out, those who were waiting to see the joke and thought that it would be difficult for Wanbao to make a hit without the flamingo cartoon felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly in an instant.

  Blanch!

   Didn’t it mean that the Envoy of Light is a “skinned version” of Dragon Warrior, old wine in new bottles, isn’t it interesting?

  Why are the ratings so high!

  This is only the first episode, and the highest ratings have exceeded 8 points, which has far exceeded the previous record of "Dragon Fighter" when it premiered.

   Outrageous, really outrageous!

  When "Dragon Fighter" first aired, it made enough gimmicks with its extremely innovative "adventure in another world + robot battle", and the ratings explosion is also reasonable.

no way!

   At a time when all the peers are doing bad things, playing with bad themes routines tirelessly, and the industry as a whole lacks innovation.

  Wanbao suddenly stood up and threw out a "different world + mech" setting for everyone. This kind of shock was no less than the first time everyone saw a "touch screen" mobile phone.

  Because of the innovative and bold subject matter, which aroused everyone's curiosity and attracted many passers-by viewers, "Dragon Fighter" was able to achieve incomparably excellent ratings.

   Yes... but this...

  What about "The Messenger of Light"? Obviously the theme is not new, and the setting of the plot is also the original recipe, the original taste.

  Why are the ratings so high?

  Not to mention the companion film "Dragon Fighter", even the popular "Pokemon" was overwhelmed, and it was airborne at the top of the ratings list for the same period.

   "Isn't it reasonable?"

   "I'm convinced. You said that "The Little Master of China" can become popular, and "Pokemon" can be popular. I can understand all these, but I really can't understand "Light Energy Messenger."

   "I don't quite understand it either, I can only say that the current audience's taste is too difficult to grasp."

   "Interview with the person involved, what do you think of this sky-high ratings? @顾水水水"

   "Laxatives! I'm in Jiangchuan, just entered the toilet. Since everyone is curious, let me say a few words..."

   After seeing the discussion about this matter in the [Domestic Animation Exchange Group], Gu Miao, who was going to the bathroom, briefly explained his views on the ratings.

   Old wine in new bottle? !

   That's right!

   This is the first impression many people have of the animation of "Light Messenger", thinking that this is a "replica" Dragon Fighter.

   And it is true.

  This type of animation has never changed the core theme from beginning to end. The ever-changing remains the same, the story templates are exchanged, and it is still the same as the Japanese RPG adventure game.

  Based on this premise, there is nothing wrong with saying "old wine in new bottles".

   But then again...

   What happened to old wine in a new bottle? Any questions? Since the audience buys it, it means that there is no problem with this approach.

  Compared to those authors who wrote ten novels in one outline, Gu Miao felt that the animation circle was already very restrained.

   At least you can see the "new bottle"!

  If there are no new bottles at any time, and the old wine is sold as "new wine" simply by changing the label, it will be really disgusting.

  …

   As the last TV animation of Wanbao Animation this year, "Light Energy Messenger" delivered an extremely impressive answer sheet.

   And on the other side.

  The most watched and most popular work this year, the TV animation "Pokémon" adapted from the game of the same name has finally ushered in the end chapter.

  In previously aired episodes.

  Xiaozhi and his partners, while dealing with the endless tricks of the Rockets, challenged various powerful enemies in the Zhonghai area.

  After untold hardships, Xiaozhi and his party finally succeeded in collecting eight gym badges in the Zhonghai area, and officially marched towards the Silver Conference.

   Silver Town, Silver Conference!

  When Xiaozhi and his party arrive here, it means that the unprinted chapter of "Pokémon" is coming to an end.

   Just last night, the animation "Pokémon" broadcast the latest two episodes.

  In these two episodes, Xiao Zhi enters the finals of the Silver Conference, and his first opponent is his old enemy Xiao Mao. And Xiaozhi lived up to expectations and successfully defeated Xiaomao to enter the second round of the finals.

  Xiaozhi's opponent in the second round is Ye Yue from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

   There is no doubt that Ye Yue is much stronger than Xiao Mao, and also much stronger than Xiao Zhi. Today's Xiaozhi still has no way to defeat him.

  This also means that Xiaozhi unfortunately lost in this Silver Conference and stopped in the quarterfinals...

  The top sixteen, the top eight?

  Many viewers felt dissatisfied with Xiaozhi's achievements in the Silver Conference.

   Quartz Conference, the top sixteen of the fledglings. The Silver Conference, going one step further to the quarterfinals...

  From the Quartz Conference to the Silver Conference, Xiaozhi's progress is visible to the naked eye. After such a long time, Xiaozhi only changed from the top sixteen to the top eight?

  The audience couldn't accept it a bit.

  In competitive competitions, what everyone desires most is definitely the champion, and only the champion is worthy of being remembered. If you haven't won a championship, it's easy to be completely defeated by others.

   "Bro, what champion are you?"

  Faced with this kind of question, Xiaozhi can't just say "what are the top eight and sixteen" to comfort himself?

  That's a bit embarrassing.
