My Animation Era

  Chapter 1016 Journey to the West

  How much do Neon people like Three Kingdoms?

  For this question, you may have to go to Neon in person, and only after on-site visits and understanding can you get an accurate answer.

  Gu Miao has been to Neon, and more than once, there are also Neon people among the company's employees.

  So he has a fairly good understanding of the special "Three Kingdoms Complex" of Neon people, and also knows the particularity of the theme of the Three Kingdoms in Neon.

without any exaggeration…

  Neon people's love for the culture of the Three Kingdoms has reached an extremely crazy level. There are more than a hundred animations, games and other works with the theme of the Three Kingdoms alone.

  This is almost the same as in China.

  Gu Miao is not very good at mathematics, but as an industry insider, he can calculate it with his fingers. Domestic animation and game works with the theme of the Three Kingdoms are about the same.

  There are many works, but it doesn’t mean anything.

   But if I tell you that neon lights are everywhere in the Three Kingdoms theme park, Three Kingdoms figure sculptures, Three Kingdoms cultural streetscapes, and Three Kingdoms clubs, what would you think?

  Will you be surprised and suspect that you heard it wrong? Do Neon people really like the culture of the Three Kingdoms so much?

  The answer is clear at a glance!

  Neon people really like the Three Kingdoms so much, and they are very familiar with the celebrities and generals of the Three Kingdoms period.

  At that time, the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" produced by CCTV was broadcast on Neon, which attracted thousands of people, and was called "the best Dahe drama!"

  If this example can only prove that the CCTV version of Three Kingdoms is well filmed, but cannot reflect how much Neon people love Three Kingdoms, then replace it with the later "New Three Kingdoms" TV series.

  When the New Three Kingdoms was broadcast, there was still an upsurge of discussion in Neon, and the popularity caught up with the country.

   And "Red Cliff", a movie with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, set a record for the highest box office of an Asian movie in Neon.

  This is only in the field of film and television.

  In the fields of animation and games, works such as "Three Kingdoms", "Three Kingdoms Warriors", "Three Kingdoms Heroes", "Dynasty Warriors" and other works are also very popular...

  Because Neon people have great enthusiasm for the Three Kingdoms, when the animation of the Wanbao version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was broadcast, even if it was a raw version, the Neon audience watched it with gusto.

   This is a scene beyond Ma Kui's expectations.

  As a neon person, Koizumi can understand this situation, but he didn't expect that everyone can eat the raw meat version?

   This is too fierce!

  Be reasonable, if you don’t understand the subtitles or understand the lines, the viewing experience will be greatly reduced for a work with rich literary content like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

   This is the same as a Chinese who does not know a foreign language, going to watch a historical film and television drama produced abroad, and cannot understand it at all.

   "The translation and dubbing speed up!"

  Aware of this, Gu Miao quickly told Ma Kui and Koizumi: "It is very important for us to complete the translation work in popular languages ​​such as English and Japanese as soon as possible."

   "Okay, Mr. Gu!"

   Ma Kui and Koizumi nodded quickly.

   Don’t need to remind them both know that this matter must be done quickly. After all, the raw meat version is so popular, so the cooked meat version can’t take off?

   Other languages ​​are okay, but the English and Japanese versions really need to be translated as soon as possible.

   Japanese is for the neon market.

   As for the English version, it is actually necessary to release it, because besides Neon, there are many fans of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" overseas who are following this animation.

  Among audiences in the English-speaking region, there are quite a few people who like the culture of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is not as exaggerated as the neon, but the accumulation of a little makes a lot, and the needs of this part of the audience cannot be ignored.

  …

  With the success of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", especially in overseas markets, CCTV is the happiest party, even more happy than Wanbao.

  Wanbao is happy because it has money to earn.

   But CCTV doesn’t care about this small amount of money. The reason they are happy is that this should be regarded as cultural export, right? Since it is a cultural export, it is a proper political achievement!

   Well done Wanbao!

   The CCTV, which was overjoyed, hardly thought about it, and didn't even have to wait for the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to finish, and directly took the remaining three of the four major classics to Wanbao to negotiate.

   "No, this really won't work."

   Regarding CCTV's plan to hand over all the adaptation projects of the remaining three classics to Wanbao, Gu Miao refused, and her attitude was very firm.

  Journey to the West he can pick up.

   But Water Margin and Dream of Red Mansions is still forgot. This is not because he dislikes these two masterpieces, but mainly because he really thinks that the prospects for adapting these two works to animation are not good.

   "Don't think about it anymore?"

   "No!"

  Gu Miao refused very straightforwardly, and refused to package the remaining three classics for adaptation, at most, she would only accept "Journey to the West" as a project.

  Although CCTV regretted it, it did not force it.

   Journey to the West is Journey to the West!

  Although the adaptation of Journey to the West is more difficult than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", let alone other things, domestic animation companies are capable of doing this project, and it is estimated that Meiying Studio and Wanbao are the only ones.

  The animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be regarded as Wanbao's proof work. With this work, CCTV is also relieved to entrust the adaptation project of "Journey to the West" to them.

  But Gu Miao also said.

  There are too many TV dramas, movies, animations, and games similar to "Journey to the West". Wanbao's adapted version may not be able to achieve the same effect as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

  This is an ugly remark first.

  Why is the animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" so effective? That's because there are not many cartoons on the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and only the old version can be used for comparison.

   But Journey to the West is different...

  Journey to the West is a well-known fantasy masterpiece, and Sun Wukong is a frequent visitor to major film and television animations, and there are too many works.

  Gu Miao is confident that the animation of "Journey to the West" will be done well, but he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to do better than everyone else.

   Don't say anything else.

  The "Havoc in Heaven" produced by Meiying Studio many years ago is Gu Miao's insurmountable peak of "Journey to the West Adapted Animation", which is difficult to surpass.

  As for other things, "Dragon Ball" is actually an adaptation of Journey to the West, whether fans admit it or not...

  In China, there was a Journey to the West animation a few years ago, which was quite popular after it was broadcast, and it was barely considered a boutique.

  To sum up, there are many animation works on the theme of Journey to the West, and there are also a lot of high-quality works. Wanbao is not sure about its skills, so it needs to be vaccinated in advance.

   For this point, CCTV also expressed its understanding.

  There are indeed many animations, movies and TV dramas with the theme of Journey to the West, and they have reached the point of flooding. Their internal expectation is that they just hope to achieve the results of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation.

   "That's no problem..."

  Gu Miao thought about it, and felt that this goal could be achieved.

  The same achievement as the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", according to his understanding of the CCTV version of "Journey to the West" animation, it is not difficult to achieve this.
