My Animation Era

  Penguins kept making big moves at the beginning of the year.

  The animation of "The Wilderness", which cost a huge amount of money last year, although the word-of-mouth decline has been obvious, and it is a typical high drive and low drive, it still allowed them to make money.

  So, this year's Penguin decided to set a new high, and presented another blockbuster web adaptation animation-"Xianfanlian".

   Not only that, Penguin also aimed at the female market, and launched an animation "From the Crown Princess to the Empress Dowager" based on the female channel network article.

   Good guy!

  Not long after the first month, the two animations released by Penguin dominated the hot searches.

  Relying on Penguin's powerful publicity matrix, even people who have no information, have heard of the names of these two animations, and the popularity of the entire network exploded.

  Two animations, one for male audiences and one for female audiences, both of which are adapted from popular online novels, and the original works have many fans.

  Based on this premise, whether it is "Xian Fan Lian" or "From the Crown Princess to the Empress Dowager", they are all going to be a hit when they start broadcasting!

  Especially "Xianfanlian".

  On the first day of the first broadcast of the animation, the number of views has already exceeded 500 million, which made Gu Miao, who was at home teasing the children, look stupid.

  500 million views!

  Even if there is a suspicion of water injection, there should be three or four billion, right? That's not a small amount, it can be regarded as one of the top animation works on the whole network.

do not forget…

  Wanbao’s own "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine" has not exceeded 100 million views, only more than 80 million!

   With such a shocking premiere performance, Gu Miao felt a little nervous in addition to emotion.

  Penguins rise too fast...

  Although it is backed by big capital, the speed of its rise is still beyond imagination. If it continues with this momentum, it may keep pace with Wanbao next year and compete for the so-called top spot in domestic production.

   "Guardian of Yangcun has to work hard."

  Gu Miao also knows that the rise of Penguin cannot be suppressed by the general trend alone. If he wants to secure the leader's throne, he must release a steady stream of excellent animations.

  Guardian of Yangcun is an animation carefully selected by him, and it is also his first work after returning to the Pleasant Goat series.

  This can't be messed up.

  Under the oppression of the penguins, Gu Miao once again raised the importance of "The Guardian of Yangcun". It's almost like saying that this is the work on which he bet his career.

  …

  “The production of Yangshou is different from the previous TV animations of the Pleasant Goat series.”

   "This difference refers not only to the style of painting, but also to the positioning of the work."

  At the first meeting after the establishment of the production team, Gu Miao said with a serious expression: "The former Pleasant Goat, what kind of attribute is that?"

   "Unit drama!"

  Since the IP of Pleasant Goat was born, the impression it has left on people is that it is a unit drama animation, one episode and one short story.

  Even if there is a series like "The War in the Weird World", it is just a spice. Most of the Pleasant Goat TV animations that you have watched are unit episodes.

  From the season of "Yangcun Guardian", Gu Miao asked everyone to change their thinking and concepts, and stop judging the Pleasant Goat series by the standard of unit dramas.

  Because starting from this season, the Pleasant Goat TV series is no longer based on unit dramas, but on serial dramas.

   This transition is important!

  Transforming from a unit drama to a serial drama, the first thing that needs to be paid attention to is the problem of human design.

   Give a simple example.

  Why is boiling sheep and sheep labeled "dog licking" by netizens?

   It's not because, in certain episodes of animation, his attitude towards the beautiful sheep is so humble and flattering, that's why he was ridiculed as a dog licker.

  But the previous Pleasant Goat was a unit drama. In different episodes, the character settings of the protagonists will change with the plot.

  Boiling sheep and sheep only lick the dog occasionally, and most of the episodes are quite normal. In unit dramas, it's normal for characters to occasionally have personality changes in a few episodes.

   But serial dramas can’t do that.

  If the dog licking person of Boiling Goat is confirmed, then he must lick from the beginning to the end. There is no situation where he pleases the beautiful goat for a while and ignores the goat for a while.

certainly!

  This is just an example.

  In the character set of Boiling Sheep and Goat, there must be no description of licking the dog, and it is impossible for Gu Miao to add it to him.

  He just borrowed the example of boiling sheep and sheep to tell everyone a truth, that is, the character design of a series cannot be collapsed, and must be maintained from the beginning to the end.

  The consequences of the collapse of the series can be called devastating...

   Fortunately, the main characters in the TV animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are basically simple and clear, but they are not so easy to collapse.

  The only thing that is more difficult is probably Big Big Wolf.

   "The previous Big Big Wolf was basically a villain. But in "Yangcun Guardian", he needs to go through a transformation from a villain to a second hero."

  When Gu Miao said this, she felt a headache and said: "This transformation process must be shaped well, and the audience must not be misunderstood by it."

   "Isn't it just whitewashing?"

  A screenwriter disagreed and said: "In the previous big Zodiac movies, Big Big Wolf has already been cleaned up, and I don't think it's too difficult."

   "No, it's not the same..."

  Gu Miao frowned and explained: "The previous whitewashing was to give Big Big Wolf a step down, so that he can put down his grudges and cooperate with the lambs."

   "But this whitewashing is not a simple cooperation, but a major change in which Big Big Wolf completely washes away his villain identity."

   This is a logical question.

  Although the former Big Big Wolf had worked closely with the lambs, can you say that he completely gave up catching sheep and became a good wolf from then on?

  After Yangshou, Big Big Wolf has indeed changed his identity, from an old enemy who loves and kills each other, to a reliable partner of the lambs walking hand in hand.

   To put it more bluntly, the change of Big Big Wolf's identity during the sheep guard period is equivalent to Bald Qiang changing from a lumberjack to a forest ranger...

   "Ah this?"

  When everyone heard from Mr. Gu that Big Big Wolf would no longer be the villain, but the second hero, they all showed puzzled expressions.

   Big Big Wolf is not the villain, but the second male protagonist, so how can the story of the animation series "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" continue?

   Can’t just invent a new villain every season, let sheep and wolves fight together? Wouldn't it be the same as the Zodiac movie?

"Roughly the same!"

  Gu Miao did not deny this speculation, but nodded and admitted: "The future Pleasant Goat TV animation will definitely be closer to big movies, and the main line is basically the cooperation between sheep and wolves."

   It doesn't matter who the villain is.

  The important thing is that after being a villain for so many years, Big Big Wolf suddenly dropped the label of "bad guy" and became a "good guy" in the eyes of children. Can the audience accept this fact?

   Sheep and wolf cooperation has been talked about for so many years, will the audience feel awkward and unharmonious at the moment when it is really realized?

   Big Big Wolf is not a villain at all, and I forgot which one it is... But in the book, everyone should start with "Yangcun Guardian"!
