My Animation Era

  Chapter 900 The King of Earthy Taste (for subscription)

  Gu Miao has always felt that there are many adults who love to watch animation. After all, the two-dimensional culture is so prevalent, so there must be a large audience.

   But he was wrong.

  Adults who love animation, especially those who are willing to spend money on animation and comics, account for a very low proportion, and they still belong to a small circle.

certainly!

   After all, Huaguo has more than one billion people. With such a huge population base, even if the proportion of anime fans is low, it is an astronomical figure.

  The good news is…

  As the post-90s and post-00s gradually grasp the right to speak and become the representative of the younger generation, the audience of popular subcultures led by animation is becoming more and more.

   But for now, before the older generation completely breaks the stereotype that "animation is only for children", it is still very difficult for an animation to be heard by more than one billion people across the country.

   Give a simple example.

  The animations "Hell Girl" and "The Wilderness" are very popular in this summer vacation. There is no animation lover who does not know these two animations.

   But outside the circle, for those who don't pay attention to anime and are not interested, what Yan Moai? What Wilderness?

  Sorry, I don’t know!

   This is the embodiment of influence that has not broken the circle. The animation is popular, but only in the circle. People outside the circle don’t know anything about it, and they don’t even know what you are talking about.

  Gu Miao has been working hard to curb the circle-breaking effect of "Hell Girl", avoiding this animation from entering the field of vision of more outsiders and attracting the attention of many demons and ghosts.

   His work paid off.

  "Hell Girl" broke the circle, but it didn't completely break the circle.

  Some people outside the circle knew about this animation and became interested, which also attracted ghosts and ghosts, but more people only "heard of" this animation.

  This is domestic...

   But when "Hell Girl" began to produce multilingual versions under the promotion of Wanbao, and went abroad and landed on overseas TV stations, the situation became different.

  Gu Miao's hands can't be extended abroad, and the plot of "Hell Girl" is indeed very controversial and topical, so it is logical to break the circle of influence.

   Good guy!

  Foreign audiences are very interested in the character of Yan Moai and the events that happened in the plot.

  Campus bullying, touching porcelain, extortion... No matter which country these things happen in, they will arouse empathy and anger among the people.

   What a coincidence!

  What these foreigners like to do most is to use these public events as an excuse to take to the streets to protest with large slogans.

  It doesn't matter what happened before.

  But since the animation of "Hell Girl" was broadcast, when these people protested, they had an additional choice, which was to hold a picture of Yan Moai, accompanied by various strange slogans.

  These slogans are hilarious.

  For example, it doesn’t matter, Yan Moai will take action, and the sense of security that the law brings to me is not even as good as an anime character...

  Ahem!

  Gu Miao couldn't understand the fact that foreigners held up pictures of Yan Mo'ai to protest, some of them didn't have pictures, and just took a pillow to make up the number.

   This is more abstract than burning incense and worshiping little love!

   Forget about the key tasks, this group of people did this, but it aroused the displeasure of the authorities, and directly banned "Hell Girl" on the grounds that it was "not conducive to children's viewing".

  Gu Miao expressed helplessness.

  He was even accused of being behind-the-scenes for planning a demonstration and protest. Who would believe it?

   If it is banned, just ban it.

  Anyway, "Hell Girl" can basically earn a lot of money just by relying on a few Asian countries, and it is not far behind the audience in Europe and the United States.

   And to be honest.

  The Internet is so developed that if it is not allowed to be broadcast on TV platforms, can it still be broadcast on Internet platforms?

  …

  Wanbao launched several works in one go during this summer vacation, with the goal of sniping Penguin's new work "The Wilderness" and delaying the other party's strategy of making web culture animation.

   This is a conspiracy!

   Judging from the final results, this plan has been implemented very smoothly. The animation of "The Wilderness" has indeed lost a large number of viewers against the backdrop of "Hell Girl".

   But there is a very embarrassing point.

   That is, although Penguin's strategy has been frustrated, it has not been hurt. Their web adaptation projects are still springing up like mushrooms after rain.

  The most frustrating thing is...

   Not only Penguin, but more and more domestic animation manufacturers have begun to focus on the "Internet Literature" cake, and they have the idea of ​​​​adapting popular online literature.

   "You can't stop it!"

  Gu Miao sighed and said, "This is the same as Neon Animation, which was mostly original at the beginning, and then gradually turned into light novels and comic adaptations..."

  Domestic online novels will sooner or later become the light novels of Neon, and become the direction and trend of animation and comic adaptation.

   This is the general trend and cannot be changed!

  The only thing Gu Miao can do is to delay the process as much as possible to buy more development time for Beep Reading, so as to incubate a high-quality web IP that can stand alone.

  This time has to be calculated on a yearly basis.

  Just when Gu Miao thought that it might take two years, three years or even longer for Beep Reading to give him positive feedback, Teacher Nantong sent a piece of good news.

  The result is out!

  After a year-long incubation, the spun-off Beep Reading has finally produced a work that is truly popular on the Internet and can implement IP.

   Surprised, tearful eyes...

  When Gu Miao heard the news, she was very excited.

  Watching Penguin crazily adapting various web-based IPs and pushing the animation industry into the web-based era, isn’t he envious and doesn’t want to get in the car?

   Definitely want to!

  The problem is that you don’t have any Internet IP, and you don’t have a seat in the car, so what’s the use of being envious?

  That's why he wanted to trip the penguin and delay the other party's footsteps. As the saying goes, if I can't get on the bus, you don't even want to get on it. At worst, we will wait for the next bus together.

   Well now, tickets are available!

Beep reading can hatch a popular online novel, and then there will be a second and third novel soon... If things go on like this, Wanbao will not be able to get on the car, and can only cry with envy of penguins in the era of online novels up.

   "By the way, what is the fire?"

   While Gu Miao was excited, she didn't forget to ask Nantong which book became popular this summer.

   "Oh! It's this "My Son-in-law for Three Years, I'm a Immortal King Stop Pretending"!"

  Gu Miao: "..."

  Damn meow! Why do people's popular online novels are such fantasy novels as Perfect Other World and Wild Wilderness, which are very compelling when you hear them, and our family is popular about this kind of earthy king?

   "Really hot?"

   He wasn't sure and asked again.

  It wasn't until Nan Tong nodded with certainty and assured that it was really popular, that Gu Miao gritted her teeth and said, "Change the animation! Don't worry about it, let's adapt it first."

  It’s better than nothing, don’t worry about the earthy taste, just ask if anyone likes to watch it?
