My Animation Era

  Chapter 722 Loan Champion (for subscription)

  The overall development of the toy company is good. Except for the serious decline in the "remote control car" business, other businesses can be described as thriving.

  What about the comic company?

  As an extremely important link in the Wanbao ACGN industry chain, although the comic company has little sense of existence, it has always been valued by Gu Miao.

  Nantong Sensei, as the person in charge of Wanbao Comics, introduced the achievements of Wanbao Comics in the whole year of last year.

   Not to mention, it's scary!

  Last year, the business segments of BEEBE Comics and BIBEI light novels alone generated hundreds of millions of revenue for Wanbao Comics.

  Don't ask where the money came from...

  These revenues are all obtained from "selling copyrights".

  After such a long period of development, Beep Manga and Beep Light Novel websites have become the number one giant in East Asia, the number one giant in web comics, and the second giant in online novels, with a large number of high-quality unadapted IPs.

   Once these high-quality IPs are sold, they can create huge profits for Wanbao Comics.

   "President Gu, I have an idea!"

  At the meeting, Nan Tong made a suggestion, that is, to separate and operate BEEBE comics and BEEBE light novels independently.

  At the same time, Beep Light Novels changed its name to Beep Reading, starting from the original field of light novels, and began to develop into a broader field of online novels.

"I agree!"

Gu Miao was still thinking about the pros and cons, and Guo Hongwei immediately raised his hand in agreement: "I'm an old user of Beep Light Novels, and I've always wanted to complain about it. Except for all kinds of Japanese light novels, there's actually no one who loves the website. Did you see the City Soldier King, the Immortal King Reborn, and the son-in-law Dragon King?"

   This is very annoying!

  As an old user of Beep light novels, who often gives rewards and reminders to many authors as "mysterious local tyrants", Guo Hongwei strongly recommends:

  Beep beep light novels should not be limited to the field of light novels, but should be developed in a diversified manner, in line with the industry leader Penguin Reading, and all types of novels must be organized.

   "That's true..."

  What Nan Tong and Guo Hongwei said, Gu Miao also thought it made sense. There are so many types of online novels, why do you have to limit yourself to the field of light novels?

   To diversify development!

  After figuring this out, Gu Miao immediately approved the plan to change the name of the light novels to Beep Reading.

Not only that.

  He also promised to allocate funds to Nan Tong to develop other types of online novel business after the name change is completed.

   "It's your turn, Kobayashi..."

  In addition to comics and toy companies, Gu Miao also listened to reports from Wanbao Games, Wanbao Paradise, Wanbao Animation, Wanbao Video and other subsidiaries, as well as overseas branches.

  Summary in one sentence.

  Last year, the overall development of Wanbao Group was booming. Except for some businesses, such as Wanbao Video, which suffered serious losses, other businesses were making money.

  As the core of Wanbao and the source of IP incubation and creation, the animation company also achieved impressive results last year.

   But this is all in the past tense.

  One cannot live in the past, one has to look forward. No matter how good the results were last year, it has nothing to do with this year.

In this year's plan, especially the first half of this year, the most important thing is the animation "Bear Infested" project directed by Gu Miao himself, as well as "Pretty Cure" of the Neon branch and "Tom and Jerry" of the North American branch. " up.

   Oh yes!

   There is also "Crayon Shin-chan" by Konjac Studio. Although this project is not a high internal priority, it is indeed critical.

   "Don't worry about Bears."

  "The first season can be said to be a test of the waters, and it doesn't show much value for the time being. Our main works must be "Pretty Cure" and "Crayon Shin-chan."

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "For "Tom and Jerry", when Dave can achieve one episode a week, it won't be too late to consider the main push."

"Understood."

  Everyone nodded in unison.

  This is also expected by everyone. After all, among the four projects, the update of "Tom and Jerry" is too slow. The first season of "Bear Infested" is used to test the water, so there is really no need to worry about it.

  Then the focus is on Guangmei and Xiaoxin.

  The Guangmei project is affiliated to the Neon branch. The headquarters will only offer suggestions. If they really intervene, it may be self-defeating.

  So after discussion and discussion, the only animation project that really requires brain cells is "Crayon Shin-chan" by Konjac Studio.

  About this anime…

  Although everyone works in the same company, you can’t look up and down, but I really don’t know much about it.

  Everyone knows "Super Beast Armed Forces", and the reversal of the second season is also well known. After all, Huang Kun is so active, everyone must know about his new work.

  Konjac Studio is too low-key.

  If it wasn't for Mr. Gu's roll call, many people would have forgotten that there is such a team in our company, and there is such a number one person as Mr. Qiu.

   "I...I'll do my best!"

  Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mr. Qiu only felt a lot of pressure. He didn't expect Mr. Gu to call him by name.

   Isn't it? Gu Sir!

   "Crayon Shin-chan", He Dehe Neng, was able to be brought to this meeting for everyone to focus on discussion?

   "You have to be more confident!"

  Gu Miao encouraged: "The "Crayon Shin-chan" project is very good, I think it is a strong contender for this year's ratings champion."

"ah?"

  Gu Miao's words not only stunned Mr. Qiu, but also made everyone in the meeting room speechless.

  The ratings champion? This year?

   If I remember correctly, New Year’s Eve has just passed, and the Lantern Festival is not here yet, right? Is this scheduled to be the ratings champion for a whole year?

   Loans, right?

  Even Mr. Qiu, who knows "Crayon Shin-chan" best, is paralyzed when he hears the "loan champion" remarks. I don't know where Mr. Gu has the confidence.

   "Why are you looking at me?"

  Gu Miao looked around and said puzzledly: "I don't think there is any animation this year that can threaten "Crayon Shin-chan", so what's wrong with me saying this?"

   "Well, let me ask you a question."

   "You said that there is no animation this year that can threaten Crayon Shin-chan, does this also include your own "Bear Infested"?" Huang Kun raised his hand and asked.

   Hiss!

  Everyone gasped.

  Gu Miao was also asked, he really thinks "Crayon Shin-chan" is very promising, but compared with "Bears Dominating the World" "Bear Infested"...

  That's really hard to say!

  After all, neither "Bear Infested" nor "Crayon Shin-chan" are works of the same era, which is a bit like Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong.

   Moreover, these two animations have been transformed and remade by Wanbao, and they are not the same as before.

  Especially Crayon Shin-Chan.

  The original version and the Wanbao version, except for the same title, are not the same work anymore. Under such a premise, it is a bit inappropriate to use the original version to compare the current version.

   Of course, he had seen the dailies.

   It was precisely because he had seen the sample that he made Mr. Qiu more confident, and even uttered such flamboyant words as "loan champion".

  In his opinion, as long as the Wanbao version of "Crayon Shin-chan" can maintain the production level of the sample, isn't the annual ratings champion just won?

   Let’s take a step back.

  If you can’t win the annual ratings champion, if you win the monthly ratings champion, that’s also the champion...
