My Animation Era

  Chapter 1047 Go boy, everything is good except Go!

  Gu Miao originally planned to promote the domestic Wanbao Cup tennis competition to the world, but suffered from the lack of suitable opportunities.

  Now is your chance!

  At the time when the Wanbao Cup National Competition was being held, a private middle school in North America suddenly came to their door, hoping to play a friendly match with the national champion determined this year.

  The private middle school that came to him was not an ordinary middle school, but a strong tennis school with a rich heritage and many famous tennis players.

   If this year's national champion can beat them, it will undoubtedly make a big splash in the world, and the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament will also attract attention overseas...

  So, Gu Miao agreed.

   But yes, yes, everyone has no confidence in whether this year's national champion can beat this strong North American school that came to make trouble.

the reason is simple.

   Judging from the current schedule and performance, if nothing else happens, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School will definitely be able to defend the championship.

  But in the tennis school team of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, except for a classmate Shen Chao who can make everyone feel a little bit more confident, everyone else seems to be almost interested.

   One **** with N pits?

   This sentence is very appropriate here.

  Gu Miao knew what everyone was thinking, so he didn't explain too much. Instead, he informed Shen Chao of the matter in advance during the game break.

   "How? Are you sure?"

   "Don't worry, Uncle Gu!"

  Different from the worries of Wanbao's senior executives, Shen Chao, as the party involved, said with great confidence: "We will definitely win, and we will not embarrass you."

"That's good."

  When Gu Miao heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Shen Chao on the shoulder, saying everything without saying a word.

  The result of the subsequent competition was also as everyone had guessed. Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School broke out with amazing strength, defeated all opponents like autumn leaves, and successfully defended the championship.

   Two consecutive championships!

   This is the second time that Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has won the Wanbao Cup National Competition, and it is also the second time that Shen Chao has won the most valuable player in the national competition.

  Three competitions, one runner-up and two championships.

  Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School's invincible performance shocked countless netizens, and various media also wrote and published articles immediately, spreading the news of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School's second consecutive championship across the country.

  However, before everyone recovered from the surprise of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and the second consecutive championship, a notice from the Wanbao Cup Organizing Committee immediately made everyone worry.

   Huamei Middle School Student Tennis Exchange Competition?

  Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, who has just defended the championship, will play against a traditional tennis school from North America in a week?

   Good guy!

  If it is said that in the national competition, everyone has their own teams to support, and you see me unhappy and you feel unhappy, then in this Huamei Exchange Competition, everyone has become extremely united.

  The enemy is at present, unanimously external!

  Whether they were fans of Qiushi Middle School, Lele Middle School, or the High School Affiliated to Dongdae University, they all put aside their past suspicions and cheered for Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.

  For a while, the attention and popularity of this nominal exchange match was even higher than that of the previous national competition finals.

   "Although there is no name for the national team, there is the reality of the national team!"

  Lao Zhang worried: "Everyone is happy if they win, but if they lose... can these junior high school students really bear it?"

  When it comes to this kind of cross-border confrontational competition, the enthusiasm of the Chinese people has always been high, and they are more united than usual.

   But once this kind of game is lost, the pressure of public opinion on the players is not as great as ordinary people can imagine.

  Lao Zhang is also worried about this.

  The team members of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School are generally relatively young and only attended junior high school.

  It is a bit too cruel for these children to face and bear such terrifying pressure. After all, no matter what, they are still a group of children, not real national team players!

   "Trust them!"

  Gu Miao was relatively calmer than Lao Zhang, and her expression didn't fluctuate from beginning to end.

   But he is also pretending.

  For such a major event, even if he trusted Shen Chao again, he would still feel nervous when it came to an end.

   Fortunately, he was prepared.

   Regardless of whether the exchange match results in a win or a loss, at least the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament model can be successfully promoted to overseas countries, and the preparations for the World Championship are also proceeding smoothly.

certainly!

   Winning is definitely the best.

  …

  When the exchange match was held, Gu Miao did not go to the scene to watch the match.

  He didn't want to put too much pressure on the players, he just wanted to be calm. If he hadn't received the good news call from Lao Zhang, he would have even forgotten that there was an exchange match today.

"Won?"

   "Yeah, win!"

  Old Zhang told Gu Miao that he thought that the level of tennis in Huaguo was far from that of North America, but after playing it, he realized that the level is actually similar.

  It’s hard to say about the higher-level professional-level competition, but at the level of middle school students, the top middle school students in China and the United States are indeed at the same level.

  Although it is surprising, it is quite normal when you think about it carefully.

  After all, in junior high school students, children are still developing physically, and their golf skills have not yet been honed to the point of perfection. How can the anime "The Prince of Tennis" depict such horror?

No way?

   It is not true that some people regard "The Prince of Tennis" as a realistic animation, and think that in reality, there really is a pervert who has mastered world-class tennis skills in junior high school and left countless professional players in the dust, right?

   Really stop making trouble!

  Gu Miao has always felt that the most outrageous thing about "The Prince of Tennis" is not the asura gods, nor is it the state of selflessness, nor is it the light hitting the ball in the dark...

   These skills are outrageous, but the most outrageous thing is not, can junior high school students master these skills?

  Reality is not anime.

  A genius like Echizen Ryoma is destined to only appear in anime. A real junior high school student cannot play too abnormal tennis just because of his physical fitness.

   This is also the main reason why Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School won 3:2 in this Huamei Exchange Competition.

  The foundations are similar, the players of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School have more experience in the competition, and have experienced more bitter battles than the opponent, and there is a pervert like Shen Chao sitting in charge, why can't they win?

  Shaking her head, not thinking about the exchange competition for the time being, Gu Miao calmed down and looked at a document on the desktop impatiently.

  【Suggestions about making a new passionate sports animation! 】

  “…Even though it has been over for a long time, the animation "The Prince of Tennis" is still full of vitality in different fields, and derivative events and IP peripherals are becoming more and more popular."

   "It can be seen that the vitality of a high-quality sports animation is very long, not inferior to other types of animation with a wider audience..."

   This is an internal document drafted by the IP management and operation department of Wanbao Animation, soliciting opinions from several animation producers, and submitting directly to Mr. Gu.

  The content is actually very simple.

  Thanks to the popularity of the Wanbao Cup Tennis Competition, the recent Huamei Exchange Competition has attracted the attention of the entire network. The derivatives of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" have received good responses.

   Wang Wang colleagues are all over the Internet.

  Especially recently, many TV stations have even come to purchase the rebroadcast rights of the first and second seasons of "The Prince of Tennis".

   This is undoubtedly a very surprising thing for an old animation that has been over for many years.

   After all, TV stations are representatives of no profit and no early stage. If "The Prince of Tennis" is not popular enough, how could they come to buy the rebroadcast rights after such a long time?

  The popularity and success of "The Prince of Tennis" made the copyright operation department feel that maybe a boutique sports fan is also a good choice?

  Although in a short period of time, the income of such animations is not as good as that of "Digimon" and "Pokemon", but from the perspective of long-term development, the boutique sports fan should not be underestimated.

for example.

   In another twenty years...

  Maybe at that time, "Digimon" has been completely buried, no one mentioned it, and young people have forgotten it.

  But "The Prince of Tennis" will not be forgotten. After all, whenever you talk about the sport of tennis, you will definitely think of "The Prince of Tennis", the once smashing animation work.

  This is the long vitality of the boutique sports fan and its indelible and profound influence in this field.

  Based on this consideration, the copyright operation department sincerely suggested to the company's senior management to launch another passionate sports show with mainstream sports as the carrier, similar to "The Prince of Tennis".

  Gu Miao accepted this suggestion.

  He really did not expect this, but then again, the vitality of the boutique sports series is indeed very long, if possible, it is absolutely possible to make another one.

   The question is what to do?

  Tennis has already been done, football is the world's largest sport, but this theme is relatively popular, and animation works related to football emerge in endlessly.

   "Basketball might be good?"

  Gu Miao thought about it seriously, and felt that basketball might be a better choice besides football.

  After all, the audience of basketball is really quite large in China, and it can even be said a little more exaggeratedly, there are more people playing basketball than football in China.

  And there are many high-quality basketball-related animations, not to mention the pinnacle work "Slam Dunk", such as "Heizi's Basketball", "Slam Dunk Boy" and so on are excellent works that cannot be ignored.

   Oh yes...

   There is also a relatively lesser-known but equally far-reaching domestically influential "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Victory in the Basket"!

  Ahem, don't laugh.

  Although it is a bit abstract to refer to Pleasant Goat in basketball-related animations, it is undeniable that "Victory Out of the Basket" is also a masterpiece of basketball-themed animation.

   "The future comes out of the basket...you can write it first, and you can do it in two years."

  After writing "Future Out of the Basket" on the paper with a signature, Gu Miao looked a little hesitant, not knowing what to write next.

  Ping-pong whirlwind?

  Song Dynasty football player?

  These are the familiar Guoman sports in the previous life. It is impossible to say that he is not interested.

   It's just that he has a small mind.

  Table tennis and football are not unpopular sports in China. Since he wants to do sports, why not promote unpopular sports?

  But unpopular projects rarely produce animation works, let alone high-quality works!

  Just as Gu Miao was deep in thought, hesitating whether to support unpopular projects or choose a high-quality work from popular projects, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

  Unpopular sports, boutique works?

   There are very few animation works that meet these two requirements, and it can be said that they are basically equal to none.

   But then again, with sports themes, does mental exercise count as exercise? Are brain games considered games?

  If it counts, it seems that chess games such as Go and chess can also be included in the selection!

  Especially Go...

  Gu Miao still can't forget that the reason why she became very interested in Go at the beginning was because of a CCTV animation called "Go Boy".

  In the animation, Jiang Liuer, the young man with extraordinary talent, who holds chess like a sword, and plays the world in harmony, even gave him a little "Go" shock for this little white!

What?

  You said that Jiang Liu'er was just playing randomly, and his chess strength is not even as good as that of a certain eagle sauce?

fart!

  Although Gu Miao doesn't know how to play Go, he also has the most basic sense of judgment. Not to mention anything else, just because the board and pieces glow when Jiang Liuer plays chess, he knows that the move is good.

  Why did it play well?

  Don't ask, just ask and it will shine!

   This is the same as the dishes made by Xiaodangjia. Let’s not talk about whether they are delicious or not, at least they will shine. This alone has crushed countless people.

  Although it attracted a lot of complaints after it was broadcast, and there is even a classic saying that "Go Boys are good except Go", but it has to be admitted that "Go Boys" is indeed a Go enlightenment class for many children.

   Others don't know, anyway, Gu Miao became interested in Go through "Go Boy", and later went to buy books to study.

  Although the book was eaten up and he didn’t learn it, but an animation can arouse children’s interest in Go. Isn’t this a success?

   This is great!

  The popularity of Go in China is indeed very low, not even as good as that of Xiangqi backgammon. After all, the latter has a higher popularity rate and lower entry barriers.

   Gu Miao, who was getting more and more motivated, made a decision immediately, his next new work was definitely "Go Boy".

   In fact, there is also "Soul of Chess" available.

   It's just that Gu Miao felt that since it was to fulfill his childhood dream and promote Go, "Go Boy" was more suitable for him.

  After all, the background and story of the soul of chess, if you want to make localization changes, the workload is too great. Maybe it could be handed over to the Neon Division to make it, but he would definitely not be happy.

   By the way.

  Although "Go Boy" is a classic Go animation in Gu Miao's mind, its influence is also extremely far-reaching.

   But to be honest, the Go part of this animation is indeed... hard to describe!

  The chess records chosen by the screenwriter and director cannot be said to be a pile of shit, but they are indeed **** and unrepresentative.

   Otherwise, how can people say that the Go boys are good except Go?

   This point must be revised.

  Gu Miao has already figured it out. If she wants to make the animation "Go Boy", she should first go to the Chess Academy to find a few world champion chess players as staff, and then carefully screen the game records to avoid making low-level mistakes.

certainly!

   It should refer to reality, but "Go Boy" is an animation with a touch of fantasy and martial arts after all, and it is impossible for everything to be in line with reality.

  Aside from other things, Jiang Liuer is the protagonist, playing chess and playing dead is not too much, right? The soul of chess still has a grandfather with him, does Jiang Liuer deserve to be the protagonist of the animation if he doesn't open it?

   Boys of Go can be regarded as a relatively classic animation. I wonder if you have watched it?
