My Animation Era

  Chapter 59 Light Modified Manga Game Modified

   "Recruiting people is not so easy."

  After learning about Gu Miao's troubles, Jiang Keke sighed and said, "The notice to hire a professional animation director has been on the official website and various job search websites for so long, and there are very few applicants."

  All bastards!

  The people who came to apply for the job were screened and almost all of them were "fake ones".

  There are fresh graduates.

  As soon as he asked what masterpieces he had, he showed his final animation with confidence. Judging by his expression, he almost had the words "brilliant" engraved on his face.

   But in fact, Gu Miao just glanced at Bishe's small animation, then handed him 50 yuan for travel expenses, and begged for mercy: "Wanbao Temple is small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate your big Buddha!"

   There are also industry "giants".

  He came to the interview in a bully manner, and his mouth was full of various "insider stories" in the industry. When he saw the masterpiece, yo ho! There is such a long string?

   Take a closer look.

  This is also a talent, a long list of masterpieces, in fact, all are "single episode titles". In fact, it is a representative work, and this work has not passed the review...

  After seeing all kinds of "ghosts and snakes", Gu Miao has given up hope of recruiting animation directors.

"fine!"

   "If you can't recruit people, let's train internally first."

  Waved her hand to signal her not to worry about it, Gu Miao said again: "That's right! I'll show you something."

   I just finished speaking.

  He took out a weird magic wand with a "golden meniscus" on the top and a pink rod on the bottom from the drawer, and handed it to Jiang Keke.

   "This is Xingyue stick!"

   "Sailor Moon is Sailor Moon's exclusive wand. There are two types in total. This one has a silver crystal, and the other one doesn't."

  Gu Miao asked full of expectation: "How about it? Judge from a girl's eyes?"

"Quite good looking."

  Looking at the Xingyue stick in his hand, Jiang Keke hesitated: "Girls should like it very much, but if it's a boy..."

  What happened to the boys? !

   Shaking and cold!

   Gu Miao was not surprised that girls would like "Xingyue Stick". Because the design of this magic wand is full of girlish heart.

  As for boys not liking it?

Who cares?

  Maybe there are such a small group of boys, and there is also a pink girl at heart. But the proportion of such boys is definitely not too high.

  Gu Miao didn't count on them either.

  From the first-generation Xingyue stick to the subsequent peripheral derivatives such as the sweetheart moon stick and the spiral star-moon stick, the main consumers are female fans.

  Is there any use for male fan farts!

  Besides contributing to the ratings, they like to daydream, fantasize that they are field guards, and they can talk about a sweet love with Xiaotu, what are they useful for?

   "Your analysis makes sense."

   Taking back the physical samples of the first version of Xingyue Stick, Gu Miao patiently explained: ""Sailor Moon" is an attempt by girls to animation, judging from the results, this market has great potential."

   "Girls?"

  Jiang Keke wondered: "Is this positioning accurate? How did I hear that the audience of Sailor Moon is not low?"

   "It's really not low."

   "But no matter how many male viewers there are, it won't change the fact that this is an animation for girls." Gu Miao shook her head and said, "My idea is to use the broadcast of the animation to launch a comic with the same name."

  Animation and comics are not separated!

  The neon comics market is very good, and the general sales are also high. Since "Sailor Moon" has an animation foundation, it is also reasonable to launch a derivative comic "circling money".

not to mention…

  Gu Miao's move also hides another purpose. He wanted to take this opportunity to become familiar with the publishing industry of neon comics or light novels, so that he could produce some manga and light novels in the future.

  Advance layout, plan ahead.

  Gu Miao now has the idea and the energy to make purely original animations that are "not man-made but not lightly modified", but he can't be full of energy all his life, right?

  Once he gets old, or has no energy to participate in animation production, apart from endless "sequel" speculation, won't Wanbao Animation be able to come up with new animation projects?

   It's scary just thinking about it.

  In order to avoid this kind of "Gu Miao dependency", Wanbao will get involved in light novels, comics and game industries, and it will be a matter of time before it embarks on the animation route of "modifying comics and changing games".

   As for the light adaptation and manga adaptation, Neon is indeed better than domestic development, and there are many works suitable for adapting animation.

  Of course, the country is not too bad.

  Gu Miao took a look and found that the domestic comic industry is really not doing well, and there are very few works that are suitable for buying and adapting animation.

   But the web articles are too good!

  After so many years of development, the online literature industry has already accumulated a large number of excellent works. Covering various categories, whether it is fantasy, fairy tale, fantasy, history or sci-fi games, you can always select several works suitable for animation adaptation.

   This is simply a treasure trove of natural "IP".

   It's a pity that compared with Neon's light novels, the biggest problem with online novels is that the "length" is too long and it is very difficult to adapt.

  Light novels are also long?

   You can’t just look at the number of words, you have to look at the "effective content" with the same number of words!

   After writing a volume of 200,000 words in the light novel, the brave man is still "hanging out" in Xinshou Village. In the fantasy web novel, how many levels have the protagonists of these 200,000 characters been promoted, and how many supporting roles have they been slapped in the face?

   It's too long.

   Net texts with millions of words are fast-paced and plot-intensive. How many episodes of animation do you need to completely adapt? Let’s cut some of the plot, and fans of the original book are not satisfied, so it’s very difficult to get the best of both worlds.

   But no matter how difficult it is, there is a limit.

  There are still many successful cases of animation adapted from web texts. In a sense, as long as the right method is found, it is actually not that difficult to adapt web articles.

   Of course, this is the future plan.

  Whether it is a light modification or a game modification, you need to take great risks. Wanbao, whose family background is not strong enough, cannot bear the consequences of "failed adaptation".

do not forget!

   "Haiwa" is still alive!

"correct…"

  As soon as he thought of Haiwa, Gu Miao immediately thought of his suggestion to Mr. Xiong, and asked curiously, "Is there any news about a new work from Feiyang Animation?"

"Yes, I have!"

  Jiang Keke thought for a while, and replied: "It seems to be the sequel of "Haiwa", "Haiwa Brothers"! They seem to have taken the sponsorship of Jiadian and plan to overthrow Haiwa and remake it."

  Household power plant, Brother Haiwa?

  Gu Miao blinked, and couldn't help but think of a pair of brothers who were all-powerful when they were young, and they liked to take risks everywhere without clothes.

  It can't be such a coincidence, can it?

  If it really is "Haier Brothers", wouldn't Feiyang Animation take off in place? You must know that the ratings of this animation were not bad back then!

   Although the animation itself does not make money.

   But Haier invested in making this animation, is it to make money? People are to build a brand image!

  Not found...

  When the first batch of fans of "Haier Brothers" grew up, Haier was the first brand that came to mind when buying home appliances?

   People make a lot of money, okay!

   Seeking collection monthly ticket support~!
