My Animation Era

  Chapter 897 Official fan, passerby heroine? (seeking subscription)

   The era of Pleasant Goat is over, now is the era of "Bear Infested"!

  Hou Bin can understand this sentence.

  After all, he is not an outsider. As a high-ranking figure in Wanbao Animation, he knows better than anyone else the huge potential contained in "Bear Infested".

  But understanding is understanding. From an emotional point of view, he still can't accept the fact that the premiere of the fifth season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" TV cannot suppress other people's reruns.

   "If you can't accept it, you have to accept it."

   "Thinking about the good, the work that replaced Pleasant Goat came from our company anyway. Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable if it was replaced by animations from other companies?"

   Yes!

  Gu Miao's comfort made Hou Bin feel better immediately.

  It is indeed better to be killed and replaced by your own people than to be replaced by outsiders. After all, the former can only express a few words, while the latter will be so depressed that he vomits blood.

   "Don't say this..."

  Waved her hand, Gu Miao, who expressed that she didn't want to continue talking about this topic, turned to Hou Bin and asked, "How do you think about the project I told you about?"

"no problem."

   "I have plenty of time, and I can start preparations now." Hou Bin said with some embarrassment, "It's just that I haven't finished watching the animation "The Elf at the Beginning, I Was Confessed by the Elf Patriarch"."

  What is there to worry about?

   Seeing his sad face, Gu Miao thought she was in some trouble, but she didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, which made her speechless.

   Strip off the characters, and recreate an animation with several popular female characters in the original work as the core. This has nothing to do with whether you have seen the original work or not.

   Think from another angle.

  In a sense, Hou Bin didn’t finish the original work, which is a good thing for stripping off the characters and establishing his own company.

   "There's nothing to read about the original work, it's just an anime adaptation of a toilet paper-level harem light novel in another world."

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "You don't have to worry about what story the original story tells, the specific setting background, etc., you don't have to worry about these."

   "You just need to recreate a set of world view and background setting system around these popular female characters, and do it according to the original standard."

   "Original standards?!"

"right!"

  Seeing Hou Bin's thoughtful expression, Gu Miao quickly added: "That is to say, except for the characters borrowed from the original work, all other parts are original."

for example.

  The original work is "Journey to the West". Considering that Brother Hou is more popular, we will separate this character and make a "Monkey King vs. Calabash Brothers" that has nothing to do with the background of the original work.

   Well, this example is not appropriate.

   But the reason is the same, that is, based on popular characters, independently produce a derivative work with original content as the main content.

   "Should this be called an official fan?"

"Roughly the same!"

  Gu Miao nodded and said: "This is indeed similar to a fan work. It was born by a mother, and it was also made by a company. It is okay to say that it is an official fan."

   "Then let me think about it..."

Hou Bin took out the draft paper and pen that he had prepared in advance, and wrote and drew on it: "The first female character, seems to be a blond and arrogant elf-human half-blood princess? She was rescued by the male protagonist when she was young, is she considered a childhood sweetheart? "

   "Ah yes!"

  Gu Miao nodded.

  He knows this heroine. After the animation "The Beginning Elf, I Was Confessed by the Elf Patriarch" was broadcast, it became very popular and very popular.

  Classic blonde tsundere double ponytail.

  In addition to this, there is another heroine who is black and straight, a beautiful girl of the Yujie family who is quiet on the surface but actually has a dark belly.

"I know this."

  Hou Bin wrote the second line, and then said: "These two characters, the characters are relatively classic and normal. It's okay to create originality around them, but the character design of the third heroine..."

  It looks very cute, but it still claims to be ordinary. Let’s not talk about this kind of Versailles talk. The key is that "the sense of existence is extremely thin", and it is often ignored or even ignored by the people around it. What kind of BUG setting is this?

   "It's not easy to do!"

   Rubbing the center of his eyebrows, Hou Bin said with a headache: "These three heroines have their own characteristics. It is much more difficult than I imagined to separate their roles and make an original animation alone."

"yes!"

   Gu Miao agreed.

  The characters of the three heroines are indeed very distinctive. Take the third heroine as an example. Her sense of existence is so thin that she will be ignored by the monsters. The protagonist takes her to crusade against the devil, but the devil doesn't even notice her existence.

   This is so outrageous.

   But having said that, perhaps it is precisely because of the distinctive personalities of these three heroines that they attract so many otaku fans, and many people still remember it.

  It's not easy to do...

  The original work "The Elves at the beginning, I was confessed by the patriarch of the elves" is just a pile of shit.

   I’m afraid it won’t work if we continue to engage in different worlds. Or should we change the backgrounds of these heroines to ordinary female high school students in a modern city?

"Eh!"

  Gu Miao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately thought of a passerby heroine who is very famous in the two-dimensional world, and it seems that he can match the third heroine design that they are having a lot of headaches.

   "You said it's okay to change careers like this?"

   "We changed the background of the story from a different world of swords and magic to a modern city. These heroines are all high school students."

   Gu Miao gushed: "The story revolves around a group of boys and girls, and I plan to make a beautiful girl game based on Xiaohui, who has little sense of existence..."

   "Can it work?"

  Hou Bin was a little surprised and said: "If you change it like this, the animation of the harem in another world will be changed into a campus romantic comedy."

   "What happened to the campus love?"

   "Compared to the cliché theme of a different world harem, I think this change is more interesting, and the urban background is closer to the audience's preferences."

   Makes sense!

  As a senior dead house, Hou Bin pondered for a while and found that this is indeed the case.

  Compared with the unreachable adventure in another world, the two-dimensional paper man with a modern urban background is closer, and it is easier to make people feel friendly.

   "OK! That's it."

Seeing that Hou Bin was persuaded, Gu Miao decisively made a decision: "The name of the project should be "How to Raise Passerby Heroines"! The first heroine Jiahui, the second and third heroine Ying Lili and senior sister Shiyu... "

   Ah this? !

  Is it a little sloppy to determine tens of millions of projects in a few words?

  Hou Bin scratched his head, thinking that although Mr. Gu's proposal was good, he was always like this, making decisions for others with a slap on the head.

  This is a project involving tens of millions of funds. For other companies, at least a dozen meetings will be held to make a decision, but with Mr. Gu, the decision can be made in two or three sentences.

  He's always so confident...

  However, after these heroines were changed to urban female high school students, the character design is not against harmony, but has a unique charm?

   What a surprise!

   Life is always full of surprises. After all, no one wants to get it. The three catties of jelly that I bought came home and said it was only two and a half catties...
