My Animation Era

  Chapter 55 December New Series

  Wanbao Animation also has advertising business.

  This section is mainly divided into two parts, one part is "advertising placement", that is, adding the product specified by the advertiser to the feature film of the animation, and giving a close-up shot.

  The other part is to let its animation characters go out for business, and accept commercial cooperation such as image endorsement and product promotion like "virtual idols".

  Ad placement is mainly focused on the work "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line". "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" did not engage in advertising placement due to the background of the story and other reasons.

   But Pleasant Goat received a lot of endorsements.

  Not long ago, a children's playground in Jiangchuan came to Wanbao Animation to discuss advertising cooperation, hoping to use the two characters "Pleasant Goat" and "Big Big Wolf" as the spokespersons of their playground...

   Unfortunately, they bid too low.

  Although the price of the anime character "Qiafan" is not as outrageous as that of a real-life star, but Pleasant Goat's ratings and popularity are so high, do you want to get it for 10,000 yuan?

  Gu Miao's nose almost turned out of anger.

  If Ma Kui hadn't stopped him stubbornly, the owner of the amusement park would have been turned into a corpse long ago, and he would have sunk into the bottom of the river to feed the fish.

   It can only be said that the legal society saved him.

  As time entered December, the animation "Pigman: The Magical Pigs" finally passed the preparatory stage of "planning draft → script creation → art design".

  The project is officially transferred to mid-stage production.

  Although the project was born late, the progress has surpassed the "Sailor Moon" of the Neon Division.

   Gu Miao can understand this.

  The production standards of the two are not at the same level at all. It can be compared with anything else. Compared with "production progress", Pigman must win.

  Although "Sailor Moon" has also entered the mid-production stage, the progress is indeed a bit slow. In a week, I could barely produce a 35-minute film.

  According to the neon animation, the general standard is 24 minutes as an episode, minus the opening and ending credits...

   Produce about 1.5 episodes a week.

  The reason why the progress is so slow is not that Gu Miao has less money. A single episode is 15 million yen, which is equivalent to a budget of RMB 800,000. To be honest, it is not low.

  It is mainly manpower, which drags down the progress.

  Wanbao Neon Division, although it has acquired three animation companies on the verge of bankruptcy, the actual staff is only about 120 people.

  How can this few people be enough...

  Excluding the poor production team of "one-person original painting", a serious production team with 10-20 original artists is not too much, right?

  There must be 10 people to paint the background, right?

  Although the requirements for animators and colorists are not so high, and the work content is highly repetitive, the workload is too heavy. Is it normal to have more than 100 people?

   Judging from the photography, editing, music, and the painting supervisors, directors, and script writers that must be established in order to unify the style of the work, the 120 people in the Neon Division are indeed a bit stretched.

   Fortunately!

  The neon animation industry is well-developed in outsourcing, such as music, coloring and other links, it is completely possible to hire an outsourcing team to participate, saving a lot of manpower.

   “35 minutes a week is enough.”

  The new head of the neon branch, Seto, who is also the production supervisor of the animation "Sailor Moon", said with a smile: "According to the schedule arranged by TBS, we can have three episodes when it airs."

"Oh?"

   Gu Miao asked curiously: "What schedule is TBS on? It won't be another disgusting fire day, right?"

  He was almost disgusted by TBS.

  When Pleasant Goat first introduced neon, TBS gave it "Fire 8", which is broadcast at 8 pm on Fire Day.

  At that time, he didn't know much about the neon TV circle, and he didn't know what this schedule meant, so he thought it was a pretty good prime time.

   It wasn't until Mr. Ikeda, an insider of TBS who didn't want to be named, told him that the 8th show had been dominated by "housewife dramas" with extremely high ratings for two full years, that he didn't understand TBS's sinister intentions.

  Gu Sanshui?

  It’s just superficial brothers!

   Gu Miao, who was listed here, has already marked TBS severely on the blacklist. If TBS still disgusts him when "Sailor Moon" is broadcast this time, then don't blame him for turning his face.

   Today is different from the past!

  In the past, I had no contacts, no channels, and I couldn’t break into the neon market, so I just endured it. Now his wings are hardened, TBS is a superficial brother, if they are divided, they will be divided.

  Anyway, he still has a spare tire.

   "It's not Fire Day, it's Earth Day."

  Seto said with a smile: "As a new program for December this year, TBS will broadcast the anime "Sailor Moon" at 6 pm on Saturday."

  Saturday?

   That's Saturday, not too bad.

   It's not the disgusting Huoyao day, nor is it the late-night file. The 6 o'clock schedule on Saturday night can already be called the golden file.

  Gu Miao was quite satisfied.

  As far as he knows, there should be no "fire animation" and "fire TV series" broadcast on Saturday. This also means that the ratings competition pressure is very small.

  Start broadcasting in the first week of December.

Gu Miao made some calculations, when Xiaotu meets the black cat Luna, and then Xiaotu enters the center of the dark kingdom, awakens the controlled Awei, and defeats Queen Metalia with the power of the silver crystal. 46 episodes.

  Nianfan?

more or less!

  Based on the progress of producing and broadcasting one episode a week, 46 episodes can be broadcast for almost 11 months.

  Although it is not as good as "Doraemon" or "Detective Conan", the "animation you chased by grandpa has been updated" is extremely long, but it is not too small.

   After all, this is the first part.

  After the end of "Sailor Moon" in 1992, the orthodox sequel Sailor Moon R was launched in the second year, and later Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon SuperS and Sailor Moon SailorStars.

  There are almost 200 episodes in total.

anyway…

   Regarding the naming method of the sequels of R, S, SS and SailorStars, it is similar to the naming of Max, Pro, Plus and other models of digital products.

   But that's not the point.

  From the original Sailor Moon to Sailor Stars, these five works can actually be regarded as "the same work".

  The real "sequel" or "innovative work" has to be Sailor Moon Crystal after many years.

   Of course, Crystal is still early.

   Today is already Tuesday, and there are four days left before the premiere of the anime "Sailor Moon". Instead of thinking about what is there and what is missing, it is better to think about why the animation promotion PV has not been cut yet?

  Gu Miao really couldn't hold back anymore.

  Practice for one season... Oh no, is it that difficult to cut a PV every week?

  The PV cut looks like shit, and after being scolded by him, he can only say "okok". Is this attitude okay?

   It's just too lazy.

  They probably thought that the supervisor was far away from the Jiangchuan headquarters and could not manage the animation production team of Neon, so they were so lazy.

   At this time.

  As the supervisor, Gu Miao had to show her majesty and do something that had never been done before and was very radical...

   Wake them up!

   Seeking collection monthly ticket support~!
