My Animation Era

  Chapter 45 Pleasant Goat is over?

   Reissue dolls?

   This batch of Pleasant Goat dolls were all brought from China, and they couldn’t be bought in the neon market at all. And it is too late to temporarily transfer goods from China.

   Being stared at by a group of "dissatisfied with desires" fans, there are even a few kids pulling their trouser legs, clamoring for Pleasant Goat dolls.

  What can Gu Miao do?

  Of course, he spread his hands to show that the free dolls are gone, but the paid dolls, Gu Sang gritted his teeth, and can still get them out...

  The premise is that after a while.

   The main reason why the peripheral toys of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are not favored by neon dealers is that the cost of "importing" is too high.

  So we couldn't reach an agreement before.

  With the establishment of the Wanbao (Neon) branch, this obstacle no longer exists. Even if the neon branch does not build a factory, it can still authorize the production and sales of neon toy manufacturers.

   But it is better to build your own factory.

  Authorization to others saves time and effort, and earns money while lying down, but the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed.

   Pleasant Goat is better.

  If it is an animation like "Sailor Moon", it is necessary to produce a batch of hand-made models for sale. Then authorize others at will, and forget it if you do a good job, but what should you do if you make a bunch of flaws?

  It is not easy to create an animation IP.

   If you want to operate for a long time, the production of peripheral derivatives should still be firmly in your hands. After all, poor quality control of toys affects not only sales, but also the entire IP.

  However, to build a factory in Neon requires a lot of investment, and this money...

  Gu Miao couldn't take it out for the time being.

  When he returned to Jiangchuan and listened carefully to Vice President Jiang's report, he realized that he was really poor. Let alone building factories overseas, he was successful if he could afford the rent.

  Lei Sudeng remote control car is very popular!

   But the money earned in this area was basically used by Wanbao Toys Company to "expand production". In addition to the daily expenses of Wanbao Animation and the newly established Neon branch, how can there be extra money in the account?

certainly!

   This is only a temporary embarrassment.

  With the printing and distribution of the first volume of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" comics, the comic company should also have a lot of income.

   Not to mention too much, there should be several million.

   After all, this is Pleasant Goat!

   Regardless of the downturn in the domestic comics industry, except for a few hits that can be sold, other works are "making ends meet".

  What's the situation with Pleasant Goat? After adapting the TV animation with the highest ratings of over 20 points into a manga, are you still worried that the manga won’t be sold?

  Are you kidding me!

  The first print of 200,000 copies of the manga sold out in less than two days. Subsequently, Wanbao Comics urgently printed another 500,000 copies, barely making up for the sales gap.

  A manga is priced at 20 yuan!

  How much is the printing cost? With a sales volume close to 700,000 copies, you can figure out how much money Wanbao Comic has made.

  This is only the first volume.

  According to the standard of 108 pages and 10 episodes in a single volume, the number of episodes of the first TV series of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is enough to launch more than 50 comics.

   What a big gold mine!

  Just thinking about it, Gu Miao felt like she was about to faint from laughter. If he had known that making comics would make him so much money, what kind of toys would he be making?

   Of course, this is a joke.

  The success of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" comics is mainly due to the fact that TV animation is too popular. Without this prerequisite, the comics can only be sold on a single line.

  In addition to the comic company earning a fortune from the popularity of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the animation company actually also has an extra income.

  The right to play the second round was sold.

  As "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" continues to be popular, many TV stations have come to the door, hoping to win the right to broadcast the second round of this animation.

  Gu Miao never refuses anyone who comes.

  As long as someone buys, he is willing to sell. It doesn't matter how high or low the price is, anyway, he doesn't make money from broadcasting rights.

   Even if the transaction price is generally not high, it is only a little higher than "The Cat Princess and the Mouse Prince", but it cannot stand the large volume.

  Only three TV stations broadcast the first round.

  During the second round of broadcasting, the number of TV stations surged to 23, an increase of eight times. Under the premise of small profits but quick turnover, Wanbao Animation still made a lot of money.

  …

  While Gu Miao was busy calculating her family fortune and starting the second round of negotiations with the TV station on the rights to broadcast "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line", Jiangchuan Children's Channel released a piece of news.

   Pleasant Goat is almost over!

   This astonishing news rushed to the top ten of the hot search list almost as soon as it came out, making countless colleagues burst into tears.

  Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon!

  They endured for so long, and finally boiled the sheep to death. Without the suppression of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", their new work should be able to stand out, right?

"So fast?"

  Gu Miao also received a message from Director Wang, and asked curiously, "I remember, didn't the Weird World just finished broadcasting?"

   "Not too fast!"

  Director Wang explained: "Did you forget that Pleasant Goat broadcasts six episodes a day?"

right!

  Gu Miao remembered.

  Before, in order to meet the needs of the audience, Jiangchuan Children's Channel did adjust the broadcast schedule of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" to six episodes a day.

   Calculate according to this progress.

  The first 530 episodes of Pleasant Goat TV is only enough to broadcast for 90 days, exactly three months. Counting the days, it should be over.

   "You don't even know..."

  Director Wang teased on the phone: "As soon as I released the news that Pleasant Goat ended, seven or eight animation companies called me and asked me if they were interested in their new work."

   Good guy!

  Would you be interested?

   Are these people mentally ill? Pleasant Goat is indeed over, but this is only the first round premiere! Is there anything wrong with airing the first episode after the finale?

"Hahaha!"

  Gu Miao couldn't hold back anymore.

   This matter is indeed a bit messy. The length of the first 530 episodes of Pleasant Goat made many people ignore the "end" in Mr. Wang's mouth, which refers to the end of the first round of broadcasting.

  There are two more rounds behind!

   After the second and third rotations, do you think it's over? The fourth and fifth rounds haven't started yet!

  As long as the ratings are stable, Pleasant Goat will not withdraw from the schedule, and the TV station will not easily switch to other animations.

  The peers are estimated to collapse.

  I thought that after this difficult time, after the broadcast of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ended, life would become easier.

  But they never thought of it.

   Pleasant Goat's hegemonic rule has just begun. The first round was aired for three months, and the second round was broadcast for another three months until the "Yangyang Games" was born.

   "Sheep and Sheep Games" just ended, "Happy Year" is here again...

   This cycle of screen dominance did not end until six or seven years later, when Pleasant Goat Animation gradually became weak.

   You thought the nightmare was over?

   No no no no!

  After Pleasant Goat’s dominance of the screen era is over, the era of bears will follow immediately. People chase bears instead of wolves catching sheep, and continue to dominate major TV stations.

   There was a power outage in the afternoon. I thought it would be here soon, but there was no call at 8:00 pm. I wrote this chapter with the code on my mobile phone. I will revise it later depending on the situation...
