My Animation Era

  Chapter 579 Original TV series (for subscription)

  Wanbao fans in various overseas regions will benefit first from the punishment of copyright agency chaos.

   There are two major changes.

  The first one is that many excellent folk subtitle groups and dubbing teams have been officially incorporated, and we will be able to see more high-quality subtitles and dubbing in this region in the future.

  The second is the fine-tuning of prices.

  Through negotiation and communication with agents in various countries, Wanbao has temporarily defined the "official guide prices" for peripheral derivatives in various countries and regions.

  This guide price does not mean that the agent must sell at this price.

   Instead, it can be adjusted up and down by 10% on the basis of the "official guide price". However, the maximum adjustment range cannot exceed 10%, which is a favorable blow to chaos such as wanton price speculation and cross-border purchasing agents.

  As soon as the announcement came out, overseas fans were ecstatic.

  Domestic fans didn’t feel much. After all, Wanbao’s announcement on the adjustment of agency partners did not involve the domestic market.

   But there are rumors that…

  A well-known folk subtitle group in China, which often provides high-quality Japanese manga subtitle translation for free in the Internet community, has also been incorporated by Wanbao.

   "Well, it's true!"

   Facing the question from his own people, Gu Miao said frankly: "We have indeed recruited a non-governmental subtitle team to be responsible for the animation dubbing of Neon."

   "This is good, this is good!"

   "I don't need to say anything about "Sailor Moon", but I really want to complain about the translation of "The Three Sisters of the South Family". Many lines don't match at all!" Guo Hongwei nodded.

  “Introducing new translators, I hope to do better in this area in the future.”

"Do not worry."

  With a relaxed expression, Gu Miao patted his apprentice on the shoulder and asked, "Don't talk about that, you called me here today, it should be something happened to "Detective Conan", right?"

   "Exactly!"

   "Master, you also know that the animation "Detective Conan" is a manga adaptation..."

  Xiao Guo said his problem.

  Gu Miao listened carefully to Guo Hongwei's work report, and also understood the problems he was troubled by, so she frowned immediately.

simply put.

   "Detective Conan" is an animation adapted from the original manga, and the progress of the adaptation naturally depends on the progress of the manga serialization.

   As we all know, the speed of manga serialization has never been able to catch up with the speed of animation production.

   This is perfectly normal.

  After all, when a cartoonist creates a cartoon, even with the help of an assistant, he can't produce a few pages of drawings in a day. In terms of efficiency, it is completely inferior to the animation production team with dozens or hundreds of people.

   Maybe nothing at first...

  But with the passage of time, the animation production team will inevitably catch up with the comic serialization progress. At this time, there will be a problem, that is, what to do next?

  The progress of the animation has caught up with the serialization of the manga. The next plot and the manga have not been updated, so the animation must not be able to continue.

   "Original series?!"

"yes…"

  Guo Hongwei rubbed his face and said: "After the plot of the manga is finished, it is estimated that there will be 96 episodes of animation. I want to gather 100 episodes before broadcasting, so I have to create a few original episodes."

"no problem!"

  Gu Miao raised both hands and feet in agreement: "You can decide this kind of thing yourself, why ask my opinion?"

   This kind of thing is too common.

  Not to mention anything else, at least during the broadcast of the original "Detective Conan" animation, its production team created many original episodes.

  For example, the impressive "Valentine's Day Murder Incident" is an original series by the animation production team.

  Because the progress of the animation has equaled or even surpassed the progress of the manga series, the animation production team began to engage in "original" things, which can be said to be everywhere in Neon.

  There's not much to say here...

  Even if Guo Hongwei didn't mention it, Gu Miao would suggest him to do so.

  Of course, the premise of doing this is that the script must be firm, and it is best to hand it over to the original author of the comic for review, and then start production after confirming that it fits the style.

   "I told Teacher Aoyama."

   "Teacher Qingshan said that he will help me review the script of the original series. If there is something unreasonable, he will point it out as soon as possible and help us make revisions."

  After explaining his arrangement, Guo Hongwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, the first season of the animation "Detective Conan" will be broadcast with 100 episodes."

"Can!"

  Gu Miao nodded.

  100 episodes sounds like a lot, but it's not as many as you might think. According to the general broadcast schedule of two episodes a day in domestic animation, it can last for at most two months.

  The number of episodes in the first season is completely reasonable.

   But so fast?

   Gu Miao, who hasn't paid attention to the production team of "Detective Conan" for a long time, is very surprised at this progress. She never expected that the 100 episodes will be finished so soon.

   "It's okay, mainly because there are original comics for reference, which saves a lot of time for conceiving plots."

   "That's true..."

  Gu Miao nodded first, then thought of something, and hurriedly said: "That's right! There are many murders in the animation, you remember to change the color of the blood, it looks darker and not so bright red."

   "When restoring the crime process, remember to avoid some scenes that may induce or misunderstand, such as hitting the victim with a bullet, stabbing the victim with a knife, etc."

   These details are important.

   "Detective Conan" is a cartoon after all, and it will attract many minors to watch after it airs. Avoiding some details of the murder case is actually to reduce unnecessary troubles.

   As for changing the blood color...

  Ahem!

  The original version has been changed, so there is no need to complain about it. After all, the animation plot is mainly "reasoning", rather than traditional police and gangster films.

   "I understand, I have changed."

  Even if the master doesn't remind him, Guo Hongwei knows that these are absolute minefields, and it is definitely impossible to make such a low-level mistake.

Not only that.

  In addition to some details such as the blood color and the crime scene, which he deliberately modified to avoid, he also adjusted the "title of this episode".

  In the original manga, many chapters are titled "XX Murder Case".

  Honestly…

  This kind of title is a bit too gimmicky, Guo Hongwei himself doesn’t like it very much, and he also thinks that this kind of title is not suitable for animation references.

  So in the animated version of "Detective Conan", he did not use the title "XX Murder Case".

   This is also a way to avoid suspicion.

no way!

  The plot of the animation "Detective Conan" mainly takes place in the city of Jiangchuan. People look at the title of the animation, okay! The screen full of XX murder cases...

  What would outsiders think of Jiang Chuan?

   Those who don’t know the truth may think that the law and order in Jiangchuan is very poor, and there are murderers everywhere in the streets!

  If this happens, the people from the Jiangchuan tourism department will come to Guo Hongwei and Gu Miao to vent their anger.
