My Animation Era

Chapter 709: Semi-annual Fan Guangmei (subscription required)

  Chapter 709 Bannian Guangmei (for subscription)

New year, new start.

   As the first work of Wanbao in the beginning of the year, the animation "Date A Live II" lived up to expectations and successfully won a good start.

  The relatively excellent production, combined with a relatively stable plot, and the fan base accumulated after the first season aired, made Yue Zhan II the most shining star during the New Year's Day holiday.

  Of course, only in the ACG circle.

  The neon animation with the theme of harem love is not very likely to be out of the circle, and this is only one episode, so it is already very good to cause a sensation in the circle.

  The playback volume is not bad...

   This is also due to the support of die-hard fans. Although the animation has only been updated for one episode, many people have watched it twice and three times, and even began to analyze the details of the first episode frame by frame.

   I can only say that it tastes right!

  Compared to the broadcast volume of domestic online platforms, the performance of the animation of Yue Zhan II in Neon’s homeland is a bit stretched.

   There is a reason for this.

  The biggest root cause is that the neon animation market has been "depressed" for too long.

   Anyway, it is a big country of animation, but in the whole of last year, there were no animations other than "Dragon Ball", and it would be embarrassing to say it.

   After the trough, there is recovery!

  After experiencing a trough last year, the neon animation industry has ushered in a round of recovery this year, and excellent works have sprung up one after another.

  From mid-December to early January, a number of high-quality different worlds, campus love, and **** battles have been broadcast one after another.

  Don't talk about the second battle.

  Even the animation "Dragon Ball" that suppresses the heroes and is regarded as a "magic work" by many fans of neon animation, the ratings also dropped a lot during this period.

   But it's not a big problem.

  Since the end of the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, the ratings of "Dragon Ball" animation have experienced many rounds of ups and downs, which is also expected by Nishio.

  He told Gu Miao.

   Soon, it is estimated that in February and March, after the episodes of "The Red Silk Army" and "Grandma Divination" are over, the ratings of "Dragon Ball" animation will usher in its second peak.

  Because the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai is about to start!

  This not only means that the plot will enter the next high-energy moment, but also means that Wukong is not far from "growing up".

  After the end of the 22nd World No. 1 Budokai, there will be a series of high-burning plots such as Piccolo, the temple practice, and the 23rd World No. 1 Budokai.

   After this series of events is over, it will be the most surprising "Saiyan" chapter!

  Of course, about the Saiyans, about Goku’s life experience, about the story of his marriage with Qiqi, these are the plots of the second season of "Dragon Ball Z".

  According to Nishio's adaptation plan, the first season of the animation "Dragon Ball" has no seal, and it will be OK when the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai is almost over.

  Why not keep doing it?

  On the one hand, the serialization is too long. The plots planned now are almost enough to be broadcast until the end of the year.

   It has been serialized for two full years, the audience needs a little time to relax, and the animation production team also needs to wake up.

  On the other hand, Nishio, as the animation supervisor, also needs to squeeze out time and energy this year to toss the president's so-called "punching and kicking" magical girls.

   This can be considered a dual purpose!

  Fortunately, the follow-up plot of the animation "Dragon Ball", including the storyboard and fighting design, has the original comics for reference, and Seto helps to watch.

  So Nishio is not very worried about the follow-up of "Dragon Ball", but the "Pretty Cure" that the president said before gave him a headache.

  My God! spare him...

  Nishio is so old and has been engaged in animation production for so many years. He really has never done this kind of "magic girl" animation. It can be said that he has no experience at all.

  Don't talk about magical girls.

  He has never made an animation with a little girl as the "protagonist". Seto has done "Sailor Moon" anyway, and has slightly more experience than him.

   It can only be said that he suffered a great crime.

   Gu Miao, who is far away in Jiangchuan, is very aware of Xiwei's complaints and complaints, but he has not wavered in his determination.

  Until now, he still believes that Nishio, who is in charge of the production of the "Dragon Ball" project, is the most suitable supervisor for "Guangmei", not even one of them!

  Don’t ask why, the question is that Guangmei and Dragon Ball seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they actually have something in common.

   "What is the core of Guangmei?"

   "In other words, there are so many magical girl animations, what do you rely on to attract audiences? What is your main selling point?"

  During the video call, Gu Miao said without hesitation: "You are right, you are not the most suitable supervisor, and you have no experience..."

   "But it's just you who can hope to make a different and non-mainstream magical girl animation!"

"non-mainstream?!"

  Nishio pondered over the words of the president, and said with a thoughtful expression: "My best field is fighting action, very intense fighting scenes."

"Then blend in!" Gu Miao patted the table excitedly, "Do you remember what I told you? You need to punch to the flesh, you need to punch and kick, you need to break people's perception of magical girls who only stand up and let go." Inherent impression of magic."

   "I understand these..."

  Nishio scratched his chicken coop-like hair, frowned and said: "But isn't it a bit out of character for a magical girl to do this?"

   Is it too violent?

  The magical girls in the past were all the embodiment of love and peace, truth, kindness and beauty. How could there be such a barbaric and violent existence?

   "What do you want these for?"

  Gu Miao scolded angrily: "Whether the audience accepts such a setting, that's not a question you should consider. At worst, let's make the film shorter, only do it for half a year, and treat it as an experiment."

   "That's okay!"

  When Nishio heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the pressure was not as great as before.

  After all, what he is most worried about is that if it is defined as a year, it will be a huge investment.

  With such a large amount of investment, if the audience can't accept this "non-mainstream" magical girl setting, causing the animation to hit the street, then he will really apologize.

  There are not so many things in half a year.

  Compared to more than 50 episodes of annual animation, the half-year animation cycle is short and the investment is small. In the words of the president, it is just an experiment.

  The experiment was unsuccessful, anyway, it was half a year, and the torture would soon be over.

  The loss is also within an acceptable range, and the entire Neon branch will not be plunged into crisis because of the fiasco of this project.

   Then it's decided!

  After the communication between Nishio and Gu Miao, it was tentatively confirmed that the animation "Pretty Cure" will be produced as an "experimental" "Bannian Fan" project.

  The tentative series is 26 episodes!

  Nishio originally wanted to fight for it, meaning to do a season of 12 episodes first to see the results, and then decide whether to expand to "Half Year Fan".

  But Gu Miao didn't agree with anything.

  The 26 episodes of Bannian Fan is already his bottom line, and if it is reduced to 12 episodes of Jiban Fan, that is too short...

  What stories can 12 episodes tell?
