My Animation Era

  Chapter 567 The response to Dragon Ball is mediocre? (seeking subscription)

  What is the second dimension?

   Gu Miao didn't know how to answer this question. Because even he himself can't figure out the true definition of "two-dimensional".

  Broadly speaking…

  Secondary Yuan originally refers to the "two-dimensional world".

   Animations, comics, games and other works produced and presented by two-dimensional image technology, which are different from live-action film and television dramas and virtual worlds in the real world, can be collectively referred to as "two-dimensional".

  Does 3D animation count as two-dimensional?

broken!

  If all ACGN works of "overhead fantasy" can be included in the category of "two-dimensional", why don't everyone recognize the two-dimensional attribute of some animations?

  Wanbao Animation has been established for four years.

  During these four years, Gu Miao and the animation directors of the Wanbao Department have produced many wonderful TV animations and animation films.

   But...

  In these years, the basic disk of Wanbao animation has always been elementary school and middle school students. As for the so-called two-dimensional fans, they are not interested in Wanbao.

Why is this?

   Could it be that the animation works produced by Wanbao have been expelled from the "two-dimensional membership"? If it is admitted that these animations belong to the second dimension, why didn't they attract many second-dimensional fans?

No joke.

  Wanbao Animation So far, only "The Moonlight Is Beautiful", "The Three Sisters of the Southern Family" and "Sailor Moon" have attracted a group of senior two-dimensional fans.

  As for other animations, they are more attractive to primary school and middle school students...

  The broadcast of the animation "Date A Live" made Gu Miao recognize these people clearly.

  What secondary dimension?

   It’s nothing more than a bunch of dead houses who use the banner of the second dimension and only like to watch beautiful girls fulfill their fantasies.

  He keeps saying that he likes the second dimension the most, as long as it is a paper figure, he loves it! You show him "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Calabash Brothers", his expression is as ugly as eating shit...

   There are not a few such people.

  Gu Miao is used to referring to these people as "fake two-dimensional" fans.

  Because these people's love for the second dimension is too narrow. So all along, Wanbao Animation has not been able to earn their money, and Gu Miao has no chance to be their father-in-law.

   Until Date A Live came out.

  Through this animation, Wanbao Animation suddenly realized that what these people like is this tune?

   Don't say it earlier!

  I said earlier that you like this tune, so Wanbao just stares at the elementary school students' lucky money and refuses to let go?

  …

  The animation "Date A Live" is actually much inferior to the previous Wanbao TV animations in terms of performance.

  But it can’t stand the sales of the surrounding area!

  What kind of hand-made models, plush dolls, pajamas pillow keychains... as long as they are related to animation characters, tens of thousands of copies can be sold casually.

   This is ridiculously abstract!

  Wanbao Toys, who tasted the sweetness of the second dimension for the first time, seemed to have opened up Ren Du's second channel overnight, and realized the recipe of "Steaming Goose Heart in Four Vessels".

  Gu Miao was also quite surprised.

  Among the two proposals he left for the Wanbao (Neon) branch, he actually didn’t have much hope for “Date A Live”, and was more looking forward to the super popular work “Dragon Ball”.

   After all, the two are not in the same order of magnitude.

  The former is more of a niche carnival theme, and at most it will reap a wave of dead house favors. As for the latter, it is a real world-class anime IP.

   As a result, he still underestimated the spending power of dead houses.

  This market is promising!

  At least "Date A Live" has proved that once the female character you created becomes popular, you can indeed sell a lot of hand-made accessories and make a lot of money.

   Don't say anything else.

  The animation "Date A Live" has only broadcast two episodes so far, and the only "spirit" character on the stage is Yatogami Tohka.

  One character makes Lao He so excited that he can't sleep, and there are many such characters in the animation...

take off!

   Gu Miao immediately felt dizzy when she thought that characters such as Yoshino, Yawu Sisters, Yusao Miku, Tokisaki Kurumi had not yet appeared.

  Old man, he is sure!

  Even if the Buddha came today, he would have to ask, do you want a paper man wife? If you want, you can get a 30% discount on the handicraft now.

certainly!

  Acknowledging the special appeal of the animation "Date A Live" to the dead house crowd does not mean that Gu Miao has changed her opinion.

  In fact, among the two projects he left behind, he still pays more attention to and is more optimistic about the work "Dragon Ball".

Unfortunately…

  The progress of the implementation of the "Dragon Ball" project has not been as smooth as expected.

  According to Gu Miao's instructions, Seto first arranged for a cartoonist to create a comic version of "Dragon Ball", and then considered the animation adaptation.

  The manga has been serialized for two weeks.

   What is speechless is that the manga has been serialized for the past two weeks, and the response has been mediocre, and the popularity is not very high. The questionnaire also shows that it is not liked by readers at all.

Received Wanbao's money, and deliberately gave up part of the page for the serialization of "Dragon Ball" comics. Some editors even publicly stated: "It is a shameful thing to serialize this kind of comics, because they still publish it when they know that no one will read it." ..."

to be honest.

  When Gu Miao received the news, she almost thought she heard it wrong.

   What international joke? This is the famous "Dragon Ball"! The manga series of Dragon Ball is not very popular?

  But when he learned about the actual situation through Seto's description, he realized that it turned out to be true.

  Because the protagonist is too ordinary.

  The plot also tends to be bland and tasteless, which makes people unable to arouse the interest of watching, so the response after serialization is mediocre.

"it's okay no problem!"

   "With the holding of the No. 1 Budokai in the world, this situation will soon improve, and the popularity of the work will gradually rise."

  Gu Miao thinks the problem is not serious.

  Dragon Ball itself is not the kind of comic work that is full of gimmicks and makes people want to stop watching.

  The best martial arts club in the world!

   This is the key step for the rise of "Dragon Ball" comics, and even the accumulation of popularity in the early stage, and finally to the altar.

  Without this No. 1 Martial Arts Association in the world, it can be said that "Dragon Ball" would have died a long time ago, no one cares about it, and there will be no follow-up brilliant achievements.

   So he's in no hurry.

  The success or failure of the manga version, and even the subsequent animation adaptation plan, all depend on the results of this "World's No. 1 Budokai".

   Don't have to wait too long...

  According to the plan, it is estimated that the manga will be serialized to the most exciting moment in early April at the earliest.

  Gu Miao couldn't believe it anymore. At that time, the popularity of "Dragon Ball" comics would be so low?

  The milestone work of Hot Blood Wang Daoman is also a world-renowned work of gods, and it is well-deserved as the number one IP of Japanese comics. That is no joke!

   But then again.

  The success of "Dragon Ball" in the previous life, the excellent "painting skills" of the original author Akira Toriyama did play a key role, especially the storyboard depiction of fighting.

   Changed to a cartoonist, and I don’t know how successful it will be?
