My Animation Era

   Putting aside all kinds of prejudices, let’s just talk about the completion of the characters in the play. This live-action version of "The Prince of Tennis" is still very good.

  Gu Miao admired these actors very much.

  Although he is not well-known, and he is not a popular niche, his acting skills are really admirable. Cooperating with the old actors who play the role, it is simply a visual feast.

  The director’s choice in this aspect is indeed reasonable. After all, the production budget is limited, and it is impossible to hire celebrities who are too expensive, so let’s simply hire those actors who are not well paid and have excellent acting skills.

   "It's okay, the signboard hasn't been smashed."

  After watching the first two episodes of the live-action version of "The Prince of Tennis", Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

  Faithful to the original, the acting skills of the actors are qualified, and the lines of the soundtrack are of a good standard. From this perspective, the live-action version adapted by Haitian is not bad, and it is worthy of Wanbao's trust.

  After learning about this, he deliberately opened a trumpet, intending to go to Penguin Video to watch the live-action TV series "Perfect Other World".

  There are more episodes in this episode...

  Considering the limited time, it is impossible to finish watching all five episodes. Gu Miao originally planned to watch two or three episodes to pass the eye addiction.

   But who knows, he just clicked on the first episode of "A Perfect World" and watched it for less than five minutes, and he couldn't watch it anymore.

   What is this?

   It’s not that the filming wasn’t good enough.

  The cost of a TV series with an investment of 300 million is here. Whether it is special effects or props, they are all top-notch in the industry.

   But the looks and acting skills of the male and female protagonists are too abstract, right?

   "Forget it, I can't watch it."

  Gu Miao shook her head, thinking that no matter how good the special effects of this show were, it might not be to his liking, so she resolutely forked off the playback page.

"do not!"

   "If you don't think it looks good, it's because you don't understand young people." Lao Zhang explained from the side, "After the show was broadcast, the response was very enthusiastic!"

  Gu Miao: "???"

  Response? real or fake?

   As far as this drama is concerned, he couldn't even watch the first episode, and Lao Zhang actually said that the response was overwhelming? Where did the response come from? Are the audience all blind?

   "Female audience!"

   "They didn't film this drama for men like us to watch. How many men will follow the drama?"

  Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The plot of the first and second episodes, that is, the part where the protagonist is persecuted, has tricked many girls into tears, and the response on the Internet is very good!"

   "Outrageous..."

  Gu Miao hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back and asked: "Isn't this a TV series adapted from online novels by men? Why are there so many female viewers?"

   "There are many stars, so the publicity is strong!"

   "Anyway, as far as I know, this drama has a good reputation among female audiences." Lao Zhang spread his hands and said, "The number of male audiences is too small, and they prefer the live-action version of "The Prince of Tennis."

   Is it the other way around?

  In the live-action version of "The Prince of Tennis", there are all kinds of young and energetic handsome guys. It stands to reason that this kind of drama is the most pleasing to girls.

   On the contrary, male audiences should be more interested in adaptations of fantasy web novels like "A Perfect World", but the result is actually the other way around?

  Gu Miao said that she couldn't understand.

  …

  The live-action version of "The Prince of Tennis" cannot be compared with "A Perfect World" in terms of ratings and broadcast volume.

   The gap is not generally large.

   After all, the two works are not at the same level in terms of cost lineup and publicity scale, and it is normal to have such a gap in the early stage.

  But the live-action version of "The Prince of Tennis" has a significantly better reputation. Not only has it gained the support and support of fans of the original work, passers-by viewers also expressed that it is comfortable to watch, and the ratings should catch up later.

   Logically speaking, Gu Miao should not pay attention to these two TV series.

   But he was really worried.

   "A Perfect World" live-action drama, judging from this trend, should it be considered a success? In this case, Penguin has the confidence to sacrifice the second axe.

   The first plan is a live-action drama, and the second plan is an animation, or a comic?

  No matter what it is, in short, it is not a good thing for Wanbao to watch Penguin use its own network IP to attack the city.

  How about beep reading?

   The more it was at this time, the more impatient Gu Miao became. She really wanted to know that he had spent so much money, had Beep Reading cultivated a blockbuster IP that could compete with Penguins?

"not yet…"

  Nantong, who is in charge of the BEE reading business, replied: "We have successively held a number of essay solicitation activities, covering a variety of categories such as fairy tales, fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, light novels, and suspense."

   "But it's a pity that there are no works that make everyone's eyes shine in these essay competitions."

Rome was not built in a day.

  The birth of popular web text IP requires both environmental soil and an explosion of inspiration from the author.

  The former can be spent with money, but the latter is not something that can be solved by money. It takes time to settle, and before the time comes, no matter how much money is spent, there will be no results.

   "Forget it, take your time."

  Bee beep read this piece, but can't count on it for the time being. Gu Miao, who returned disappointed, felt that if he wanted to break Penguin's hegemony in the "Internet Literature Era", he had to rely on himself after all.

  Wanbao’s accumulation is too shallow in taking the road of web text adaptation, and Wanbao will not be able to catch up with Penguin, which has a large amount of web text IP accumulation.

  Curve overtaking can only rely on originality.

  Gu Miao calculated the time, and estimated that in June or July at the earliest this year, that is, from the second half of the year, Penguin will enter the so-called "Internet culture reform" national creation era.

   "Little Fugui, the Chef" can't keep up.

  The "Little Carp Adventure", "Super Cool Cat" and "Bear Infested II" are the first shots fired by Wanbao in the era of Internet literature, and they are also at the forefront of confronting Penguin.

   Among them, "Bear Infested" and "The Adventures of Little Carp" are of special nature, and they are mostly watched by children aged 4-14, leaving them aside for the time being.

  Just talk about "Super Cool Cat", an animation work mainly aimed at teenagers, can it really win a good start for Wanbao?

   Should not work!

  Although Gu Miao himself is the director of "Super Cool Cat", he also knows that Penguin's offensive is not so easy to deal with.

  Although Ku Le is powerful, he is no match for two fists and four hands. He still has to arrange a reliable teammate for him during the summer vacation.

  This teammate cannot be randomly selected.

  For example, the "Bugs Bunny" animation produced by Konjac Studio cannot be used as a teammate, because the target audience is different.

  Penguin launched a series of web adaptation animations, the main audience is teenagers and young men aged 14-24.

  The taste of these people is very tricky.

  If you want to capture their hearts, you have to take risky tactics and use unconventional works to win this war without gunpowder.

  Gu Miao thought of Ma Kui.

  So he quickly called Ma Kui to the office, and the two chatted behind closed doors, about the teammates of "Super Cool Cat" and the coping strategies for sniping penguins during the summer vacation.
