Dimensional studio

229 - The Unseen Battlefield
Although a new animation production team has been established, Tomino and Anno alone will not be able to do it.

So Lemon Entertainment had to put up a recruitment notice again.

The members of Wang Hong's animation production team were managed by Wang Hong himself, and Tomino is the same this time.

While busy screening talents, he also had to discuss the script with Anno.

After Chu Tiange returned the storyboard draft to Fuye, he gave Fuye two choices. One was to divide the UC era into different time periods according to Fuye's original idea.

Make animations with different main characters in each time period, such as Amuro from 0079, Camus from Z Gundam, etc.

Another option is to start from the first year of the cosmic calendar, that is, the first year of UC, and tell the story of the entire UC era from the perspective of a bystander.

It is also storytelling, the former is a legend of a person, while the latter is an epic.

Similarly, the latter is many times more difficult than the former.

No matter which way you choose, the purpose of UC Era is to shape the IP of Gundam, and the most important thing is to let more people like it.

If it is made into a documentary, it can indeed show the entire history from the perspective of a bystander, but the final ratings will definitely be a head-on blow.

The core of Gundam animation must not be lost, the truth of "history" must be restored, and the audience must have a strong sense of substitution. This requirement forced Tomino to overthrow all his original assumptions.

Although this choice is very difficult, Tomino is full of fighting spirit. This kind of animation is the animation that Tomino dreams of.

The production funds are abundant, and there is no budget, which makes Tomino's fighting spirit directly full, and the recruitment of employees must start with young people with more than five years of relevant work experience.

In fact, at the beginning Tomino planned to look for more than ten years, and finally decided to lower the requirements under Anno's persuasion. After all, you have to have ten years of work experience and you must be young, unless you are an animation genius who debuted in the [-]th or [-]th. Otherwise who can satisfy such a requirement?
The expansion of Lemon Interactive Entertainment's enrollment has little impact when "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" is on the air. Neither the animation company nor the fans of Lemon Interactive Entertainment paid special attention to this matter.

But not everyone is indifferent.

Independent animation studios have long given up competing with Lemon Interactive Entertainment. It doesn't matter if they have made up their minds to embrace their thighs, but the industry's top brother, Pinnacle Pictures, will not work.

Lemon Huyu is trying to grab his own job.

The corpse of the last Custer Electronics company that was used by Lemon Interactive Entertainment with this routine is still hot, how long has it been.

Last month, Summit Films was still laughing at a multinational conglomerate, Custer Electronics, which was overthrown by a new force like Lemon Interactive Entertainment, and it was its turn to turn around.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the setting of Gundam Universe is not at the same level as the cherry processor technology, and Peak Pictures is not yet besieged.

Although some depressed young people under the banner were shaken, the high-level executives expressed dissatisfaction.

Waiting for the Three Kingdoms animation of Peak Pictures to be broadcast, it will definitely be able to snatch the market back again.

The top management of Summit Films is quite optimistic. After all, although the Gundam series of Lemon Interactive Entertainment is powerful, it is still much worse than Summit Films in terms of background. Although many are not classics, they can also be said to be high-quality animations.

Moreover, these high-quality animations are especially popular with children. The peripheral department of Summit Pictures makes most of its profits from these animated images that are popular with children, such as the little deer and the north nose, the naughty blue cat and so on.

On the contrary, when the peripheral department was established last year, the figure of "Supreme God Fist" that was intended as a signature did not sell very well. Only the cosplayer Huang Yan, who was picked up by Gao Song, because of the cosplay of a stinging bee, made this character's Hands-on sales are better.

Although the figure sales of "Supreme God Fist" did not meet expectations, this is also relative to the ideal state of the top management. If compared with previous years, the performance of Gao Song's peripheral department of Pinnacle Films is still quite good.

If there is no toy company called Wanshi in this world.

Compared with Gao Song's achievements, since Wanshi Company launched the Three Kingdoms series of figure models, Wanshi Company has taken the lead script of resurrecting the dead and counterattacking the useless firewood.

First came the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, then the puppet dolls, then the four-wheel drive vehicles, and the Transformers and Gunpla whose reputation has risen wildly recently. No matter in terms of word of mouth or sales, they are far away from Pinnacle Films.

Under this remarkable contrast, although Gao Song was still praised by the high-level executives of Pinnacle Films, Gao Song was not happy at all.

The high-level praise of Gao Song's achievements is not because of how satisfactory Gao Song's performance is, but because of the need to express his opinion on Gao Song's achievements in terms of performance.

In fact, the executives of Summit Pictures wanted to slap Gao Song twice.

It was because Gao Song, the unlucky guy, didn't clean up his hands at the beginning that Wanshi Company survived, and now it has grown into a behemoth that cannot be ignored.

It's okay if it's just that, but Gao Song's method of seizing Wanshi Company was too dishonest, and now the two sides have become sworn enemies, which has too much influence on Zenith Films.

Of course, the top management of Summit Films has selectively forgotten what Gao Song did at the beginning, and it was actually promoted secretly by the top management of Summit Films.

No one would have thought that the mediocre Chu Wanshi would have such a talented son, and it took less than a year for Lemon Entertainment to become a huge enterprise that no one could ignore.

Now that Lemon Interactive Entertainment is in full swing, it is no longer possible for Summit Pictures to use any indiscriminate means to deal with Lemon Interactive Entertainment.

But normal business methods can still be used.

Summit Pictures owns a large number of animation copyrights, and decided to carry out this strategy.

After learning that Lemon Interactive Entertainment has also become an animation video website, Summit Pictures has adjusted to the first-level alert state, and directly took down most of the copyrights of animation network transmissions that do not belong to Summit Pictures.

No matter how good you are at Lemon Interactive Entertainment, animation video websites are different from game platforms, and one or two excellent animations cannot be supported.

Summit Pictures bought out all animation copyrights, and Lemon Animation couldn't get the online copyrights, so it could only eat farts.

And this strategy is really easy to use. At least for a while, Xu Jiu really couldn't find enough animations to fill the content of the lemon animation.

But both parties know that the real battlefield is not in the copyright of these old animations, and it is decided that the animation websites of the two companies will always be new works in the future.

In this regard, Lemon Interactive Entertainment is already one step ahead of Peak Pictures.

Although Summit Pictures is very confident in the animation of the Three Kingdoms produced by itself, the move of Lemon Mutual Entertainment Gundam Universe is too ruthless.

It is foreseeable that within half a year at most, there will be several Gundam-themed cartoons on Lemon Animation.

If it is said that too many animations of the same kind can easily make people aesthetically fatigued, then the problem goes back to the beginning, Lemon Interactive Entertainment expanded the recruitment of animation staff.

It is no secret that Wang Hong, the former senior animation producer of Summit Pictures, joined Lemon Interactive Entertainment after leaving his job.

Lemon Interactive Entertainment is looking for an animation producer, certainly not for the purpose of making game CG, right?

Including the newly recruited Tomino and Anno, this means that Lemon Interactive Entertainment has at least two animations under construction this year.

Moreover, the confidentiality work of Lemon Interactive Entertainment is terribly good, and the outside world can't find any news about the new animation at all.

This made Summit Pictures have to guard against it.

In ancient times, there was a cold war between the two countries for armaments, but now there is a cold war between two animation companies.

One animation of the Three Kingdoms is not enough, Peak Pictures must not only crush Lemon Interactive Entertainment in quality, but also crush Lemon Interactive Entertainment in quantity, and open two more, no, open three!

As the big brother in the animation industry, Summit Pictures is just so bold and reckless.

Use twice the number of high-quality animations to let Chu Tiange know who is in charge of the animation industry!
