My Animation Era

  Chapter 610 The counterattack of the supporting actors (seeking subscription)

  Since the year before last, around July every year, Wanbao Animation will hold a "Popular Star" voting activity.

   In the first session, Big Big Wolf from the anime "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" won the championship!

  The second round was Usagi from the anime "Sailor Moon" winning the championship!

  Compared to the hustle and bustle of the first session, the second session was relatively dull, and the smell of gunpowder was also much lighter. The total number of voters is not even half of the first term.

  The popularity is completely incomparable with the "popularity vote" in "Sailor Moon"!

Why is this?

  Gu Miao carefully analyzed the reason, and finally he came to a conclusion.

  The enthusiasm of the fans is too low, and there is no comparison. This voting activity has no smell of gunpowder at all. How could it become lively?

  Look at Sailor Moon's internal popularity vote, the fans of various Sailor Moon are pushing each other, and the competition is fierce.

  Especially after the broadcast of "Sailor Moon S", the addition of two new characters, Tianwang Yao and Haiwangman, has expanded this competition to the point of "blood flowing into rivers".

  Even Gu Miao was involved in the game.

   It can be seen from this that if you engage in this kind of popular voting activities, you can't make a group of harmony. Without quarreling, how could passers-by be interested in watching the excitement?

change! Must change!

  The third [Wanbao·Popularity Star] voting activity must have the smell of gunpowder, and must make passers-by interested, and then come to watch the excitement.

  How to make gunpowder smell?

  Gu Miao and Lao Zhang hid in the office, and after talking with each other, they quickly discussed a more "insidious" solution.

   Improve rewards!

  The [Wanbao·Popular Star] voting activities in previous years were really fun. There is essentially no difference between the top-ranked characters and the bottom-ranked characters.

   It's nothing more than fans talking about it: "My wife Xiaotu, that's the second Wanbao Popularity Star champion!"

   "Really? Your wife is awesome!"

   And then... gone!

   It’s no wonder fans are not interested in this kind of reward for Tu Yile, and their enthusiasm for participation is not high enough.

   After all, there is a lot of fighting, and the paper man's wife/husband can't get the bonus and trophy, so why hurt the peace?

  This year can't do it like this, this year we have to raise the reward standard, at least we have to mobilize the enthusiasm of the fans.

  But what kind of reward can mobilize the enthusiasm of these fans?

   You know, this is an anime character!

  For the voting activities that the two-dimensional paper people participated in, no matter how high the bonus and honor standard you set up, it is meaningless, after all, there is a thick barrier between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional.

   "No bonuses, no trophies!"

   "We will set up resource support. For example, whoever wins the championship, we will focus on this character and make a rumored animation theater version."

   Gu Miao said enthusiastically: "The runner-up, the runner-up won't have a theatrical version, only two episodes of rumored TV animation."

   "Third runner-up and third runner-up? If you come in three or four, then you can customize a badge, plush card and other peripheral gifts for this anime character."

   "Good good good good!"

  Lao Zhang's eyes lit up and he said, "You still know what these fans want best! Once this trick is done, those fans will have to vote like crazy?"

   "The worst person in Wanbao is none other than Mr. Gu!"

   "How do you talk?"

  Gu Miao was very upset, she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm doing this for the benefit of the fans, how dare you say that about me?"

   "My mine, Sorry!"

  Old Zhang immediately apologized, and then said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu! If you continue to fight this set of punches, I can guarantee that this year's popularity star voting event will definitely be full of blood!"

   More than a river of blood?

  Gu Miao felt that when the majority of Wanbao fans learned about this reward standard, they would probably mobilize all the seven aunts and eight aunts to vote for their paper man wife/husband.

  Perhaps, this is love!

  …

  Facts have proved that Gu Miao was conservative.

  Although he had fully anticipated the boundless enthusiasm of the fans after learning about this award standard.

   But he still underestimated...

   In order to win an "exclusive theatrical version" opportunity for their beloved anime characters, how crazy can these dead nerds be.

Eight in the morning.

  Wanbao has just released the reward standard, and the voting channels and links on the official website will soon be unavailable.

  Whether you click on the link to visit Wanbao’s official website, regardless of the mobile terminal or the web terminal, the error code “403Forbidden” will appear on the screen.

   That's right!

  The official website crashed...

  Because the number of simultaneous visits is too large, the official website server cannot handle it at all, so this error code is displayed.

   Sad!

  Finally got the official website up and reopened the voting channel, but within a few minutes, both parties crashed again.

   Now Gu Miao lives in Bengbu.

  He admitted that his company's official website is indeed poorly done. After all, the average daily visits are not high, so it's enough to fool around.

   But being overwhelmed by the number of visits so easily, this is a non-war crime!

   Finally solved the problem about the tofu project on the official website. Gu Miao finally saw how enthusiastic the fans of each family were about voting.

  No.1, Tokisaki Kurumi (Date A Live) 100034 votes!

  No.2, Hui Yuanai (Detective Conan) 97410 votes!

  No.3, Moon Hare...

  After the official website returned to normal, the number one displayed was Tokisaki Kurumi, who has recently become popular following the end of the "Date A Live" animation.

   The second place is a new character in the hit anime "Detective Conan". With the popularity of Conan, the popularity is also quite high.

   These are not the point.

   Gu Miao, who is a die-hard fan of Xiaotu, takes it lightly on the fact that Xiaotu has become an "outdated idol", and the majestic Princess Moon can't even make it to the top two.

   What's the point?

  The point is that this voting channel has only been open for less than two hours, and the number of votes for the first place has already exceeded 100,000 votes!

  What is this concept?

  Usagi, who won the championship last year, won the championship with a total of just over 800,000 votes.

   Nima! It's too bad!

   Not only is the number of votes per capita skyrocketing, Gu Miao also saw another noteworthy detail in this provisional ranking list.

  Supporting roles are ahead of the main characters!

   That's right, in the top 50 of the newly refreshed list, supporting actors generally get more votes than protagonists.

   Kuang San and Xiao Ai will not talk about it, but Xiaoguoding from "Guobao Special Attack", Tiger King from "Dragon Fighter", and Haima from "Yu-Gi-Oh" are also on the list...

   On the contrary, the protagonists got more and more votes, ranking at the bottom of the list.

  This phenomenon is quite interesting.

   Everyone is so active in voting for the supporting roles, probably because they think that the protagonists don’t have to worry. Anyway, sooner or later, the animation and theatrical version will be released, but the supporting roles are not necessarily so.

   If this opportunity is missed, these popular supporting actors may never have the opportunity of "exclusive theatrical version / spin-off animation"?

   Our village, without a case in three years, has finally fallen...
