My Animation Era

  Chapter 43 Neon Branch

  Lei Sudeng animation continues to hit the air, and the "Lightning Cup" remote control car competition is also in full swing.

At this moment…

   Gu Miao, who is known as the father of Pleasant Goat, King of Thunderbolt, Wanbao Carrier, animation **** maker, and the seventh most attractive man in Jiangchuan, quietly came to Neon.

   Don't get me wrong, he's not a tourist.

  He was invited by TBS TV station to bring Huang Kun and others to Kyoto to participate in a meeting of the main animation creators of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

   All board and lodging included!

  As the saying goes, no matter who holds the meeting, as long as it includes food and accommodation, you Gu Ge must bring Wanbao brothers to help the venue.

  Come out to hang out, talking about loyalty.

   "Gu Sang, please!"

  The person who came to the airport to greet him was Gu Miao's old friend Mr. Ikeda.

   Long time no see, Ikeda seems to have had a lot of vicissitudes. The beer belly that used to represent "wealthy" is now deflated. According to him, it was because of family accidents.

  The so-called accident...

   In fact, Ikeda is dishonest. He is still full of energy in his fifties. Not to mention raising a young sister outside, he even gave birth to a child.

   Outrageous!

  Looking at Ikeda's appearance and figure, Gu Miao could only sigh, how blind is her sister that even this kind of old cow can eat tender grass?

  Why can't he meet?

  Obviously he is younger, handsomer and richer than Ikeda, why is he still single? Can't Jiang Chuan's sister take the initiative?

  Yuyou heaven, how thin you are to me!

  The more he thought about it, the more angry Gu Miao, after checking into the hotel arranged for him by TBS, immediately decided to take Huang Kun and others out to see the corruption of capitalism at night.

   "Ahem..."

   "Vice President Jiang said that this trip is only for business. The company will not reimburse all entertainment bills."

  Huang Kun rubbed his hands, half excited and half panicked: "Of course, if you pay for the treat yourself, then Vice President Jiang won't say anything."

  The vice president speaks better than the boss?

   "It's reversed!"

  Gu Miao was furious and said, "The whole company belongs to me, and I took money from the treasury to go to the custom shop, and she still has opinions, right?"

   "Public is public, private is private."

  Huang Kun asked weakly: "How do you say, can we go shopping in this custom shop?"

   "Shopping... let's go shopping!"

  Gu Miao waved her hand feebly, indicating that this "Criticism of Capitalism" action will be canceled for the time being, and wait until the next time there is money in her pocket.

  He is poor.

  Don't look at the company's account with a lot of money, but that is the company's account, not his personal account.

  Although the two can communicate with each other, but now the company is in urgent need of development, and he can forget about not injecting capital, and wants to extract cash flow for personal enjoyment. Isn’t that a typical brain twitch?

   It is impossible to go to a custom shop, but it is still possible to visit an animation production company in Kyoto.

  TBS is very influential in Neon.

  Under their recommendation, Gu Miao took Huang Kun and others to visit seven neon animation production companies in succession within two days.

  The results are gratifying.

  The development level of the neon animation industry is indeed much stronger than that in China. Through this visit, Gu Miao also learned a lot.

for example.

   Everyone knows that the producers of Neon animation attach great importance to "voice actors", so how much attention is it? In addition to being paid very well, voice actors can also participate in production seminars.

  Uh, it’s like this…

  Gu Miao saw with her own eyes that the voice actor of the protagonist felt that there was a plot in the script that was poorly written and did not fit the protagonist's character setting. So he approached the supervisor, talked about his views, and allowed the script to be revised.

   This is basically unimaginable in China.

  When will voice actors be able to deeply participate in animation production? Don't they all "take money to do things", and leave after recording the dialogue lines?

   There is one more thing that is different.

  Neon animation usually includes the "voice actor team" in its promotion. The joining of well-known voice actors will even attract the attention of a large number of fixed fans.

  This is completely opposite to the domestic environment.

  Stay in China, who cares who is the voice actor for your animation? This is not a TV series. Everyone only cares about the work itself, and no one cares about the production team behind the scenes.

   "Talent is also one aspect."

  After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Huang Kun frowned and said: "Every process of animation production, they have a group of outstanding talent reserves. In this respect, we are not a star behind."

   And this is just a few small companies.

  If it is a top big company, it must have a richer talent pool, and the corresponding production strength will also be stronger.

   "Yes, talent is the most important thing."

   Gu Miao agreed: "In my opinion, other gaps can be quickly caught up. But in terms of talent cultivation, we have nothing to do for the time being."

  Technology can overtake on curves.

  But the talent reserve, that is, the "basic skills", really can only be done step by step.

but…

   During this visit, Gu Miao also saw the huge pressure of competition in the neon animation industry, and the current situation where many small companies are struggling to survive.

   This gave him an idea.

  Since Wanbao Animation has insufficient talent reserves, why not open a branch here in Neon, recruit local animation elites, and expand the company’s animation production team?

  Learn skills from barbarians to control barbarians!

   Use neon animation talents to produce works that suit the tastes of neon audiences and defeat neon animation companies?

   It belongs to the secret of the Murong family, the great law of "returning the other's way to the other body".

  Gu Miao thinks this method is feasible.

  When he convened high-level discussions at night through a portable network video conference, he finally decided to establish a "Wanbao (Neon branch in Neon.

  In the early stage, we first acquire a company that has a large number of animation talents, and the animation production ability is OK but the company is on the verge of bankruptcy, acting as a springboard.

   Then, with the help of this springboard, they can poach colleagues in the same industry and produce animation works belonging to Wanbao.

certainly…

  In order to gain a foothold more quickly, the newly established Wanbao (Neon) branch should launch an animation work with strong influence and novel style.

  Only in this way can we quickly gain fame and attract more outstanding neon animation talents to join Wanbao.

   So here comes the problem.

  What kind of works meet the needs?

  Gu Miao thought a lot, and the draft paper was filled with key words one after another, but most of them were marked with "X".

  The rest of the key words without an "X" are sailor suit, rice ball head, evening dress mask... synonymous with the second dimension in the 90s, representing the moon to destroy you...

  My thoughts became clear in an instant.

  In this country where the "otaku" culture is prevalent, and people always shout "debut and become an idol to save xx", what else is more suitable for firing the first shot than "Sailor Moon"?

   Is there anyone who doesn't like Tsukino Usagi?

No way! No way? !

   Please collect and ask for a monthly ticket, thank you my dear~!
