My Animation Era

  Chapter 235 Fanwai and BD (for subscription)

  The main part of the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" was completely over when Xiaotu and Xiaowei were resurrected.

   But there is a sequel to this drama...

Do not misunderstand!

  The feature film is indeed over, and the script that Gu Miao handed over to Du Hao only includes the resurrection of the two of them.

   As for the sequel?

  The first season of the live-action version has just ended, how can the sequel of the second season be launched so soon? Even if Du Hao wasn't too tired, Gu Miao, as a screenwriter, couldn't come up with a script for him to shoot!

  The so-called "follow-up" refers to the extra episode.

Uh?

   Is there anyone who doesn't know that the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" has a side story? No way?

   "Fanwai?"

  Just after watching the finale, Jiang Keke, who had tears in his eyes, couldn't help turning his head when he heard this, and asked, "Where's the episode coming from? Isn't this already over?"

   "The feature film is over!"

   "But there are still stories to tell, so naturally there will be a few extra episodes to fill them in."

  Gu Miao introduced: "Du Hao has been busy filming the extra episode these days, and it is expected to shoot about 3-4 episodes."

"so much?"

  Jiang Keke was taken aback and said, "I think the ending is already very happy! What else can he tell about this episode?"

   "Of course it's the past life and the future."

  Gu Miao smiled.

  Originally, there were not so many extras in the original version, but he secretly added a little material because of selfish motives. So when added up, there are 3-4 extra episodes.

  The extra plot is mainly divided into two parts.

  Part is the future, Xiaowei and Xiaotu will go to college in four years and hold a wedding.

  The other part is about the love story between Princess Serenity of the Moon and Prince Andymio of Earth in her previous life.

   Oh yes!

   There is also an episode where the main character is Queen Belial.

   This is Gu Miao's selfish motives, secretly adding roles to her. Because in Gu Miao's opinion, Queen Belial is not a particularly pure villain in the live-action version.

  Speaking of which, she is also a poor person.

  Unrequited love + unrequited love!

  Although she devoted herself to the dark camp and aspired to rule the earth, she and Queen Medalia were not the same.

  Even at the end of the episode, she wants to weaken Queen Metalia's power and prevent her from destroying the earth.

   Don't ask why...

  The question is that Queen Beria only wants to rule the earth, but if the earth is destroyed by Queen Medalia, what else will she rule?

  As for speaking, Queen Beria sent an avatar to infiltrate Xiaotu's class, splashing all kinds of dirty water pretending to be innocent and harming Xiaotu and other sailor soldiers.

  That method is really hateful and despicable.

  But compared with the animated version of Queen Beria, isn't the live-action version much "kinder"?

   As the saying goes!

  There is no harm if there is no comparison. After watching the animated version and then watching the live-action version, I immediately feel that the live-action version of Queen Belia has become much more pleasing to the eye.

   Coupled with the special "bond" between her and Xiaowei in the live-action version of the plot, Gu Miao finally decided to give her a separate episode of "Fanwai".

   Of course, only one episode!

  …

  In addition to the live-action version of "Sailor Moon", Gu Miao also plans to publish an episode of the animation "Moonlight is Beautiful" that is being produced.

  What is the story about?

  Of course it is about Ye Qian and Tan An, a pair of adolescent lovers, who encountered a crisis in their relationship after university and even entering society.

  But think about it carefully...

  In the post-credits chat record, it seems that it has already explained some trivial things that happened between the two during this period.

   There seems to be no need for a separate episode. After all, the chat records at the end of the film have revealed many "future" scenes.

  No picture?

  Then you look at the chat records and make up your own brain, can't you? You have to ask the animation production team to make the picture for you, right?

"never mind."

  Gu Miao thought about it seriously, but she gave up the idea of ​​making an extra episode for "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful".

  Necessity is not very strong.

  Normally speaking, a sideshow of an animation is more to continue the popularity and increase popularity, and by the way, to increase the sales of Blu-ray BD.

   But "The Moon Is Beautiful" doesn't sell discs!

   Oh no...

   Blu-ray BD sets will still be released, but relatively speaking, this animation does not expect to rely on this to make money.

  Accurately speaking, the animation "The Moonlight Is Beautiful" is not an animation made for money. Whether there is a side story or not, the impact is actually not very big.

   When it comes to BD sales, Gu Miao has never paid much attention to this thing. After all, in China, the number of viewers who like to buy Blu-ray discs for collection is still too small.

   But Wanbao's achievements in this field are quite surprising.

   "Dragon Fighter" has the best score!

  The sales of this animation in Neon and BD exceeded 2 million copies, setting a historical record for the highest BD sales of Wanbao Animation in a single market.

   Followed by "Sailor Moon".

  Although the sales volume in a single market may not be particularly high, the cumulative BD sales of this animation in dozens of countries around the world have exceeded 8 million copies, achieving a total crush...

  Gu Miao sometimes, listening to the data reported by Ma Kui, feels like she is living in the last century, and her brain is not enough.

  BD is easy to understand.

   But that kind of VCD, which only burns one episode of animation, and the picture quality is extremely blurry and the sound quality is poor, can sell millions of copies.

  To be honest, Gu Miao couldn't understand.

   Who is buying these?

  How long has it been since the VCD format has been phased out? One disc to watch one episode, and a full set of animation discs add up to dozens of discs. Is there anyone really going to buy this thing?

"Yes, I have!"

   Ma Kui said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, you need to know one thing. There are hundreds of countries in the world, and only a few developed countries."

   "There are still many countries that are not very developed and prosperous. People there are still using products that we have eliminated for many years."

  Gu Miao nodded.

  He had overlooked this. When he thought of the unpopular "a certain brand" of mobile phones in China, which were booming in Africa, he suddenly understood why the sales of VCDs were so high.

   Well, that's not the point.

  No matter how booming VCDs are, they are no match for BD in terms of scale. However, no matter how high the sales volume of BD is, it is impossible to counterattack peripheral derivatives.

   In the final analysis, peripheral derivatives are the father!

"correct!"

  Gu Miao scratched her ears, suddenly thought of something, and asked Ma Kui: "The annual meeting is coming soon, I asked you to prepare gifts for everyone, how are you doing?"

   "It's all ready."

"only…"

   Ma Kui hesitated and said: "At other people's annual meetings, the lottery is to draw cash red envelopes, cars to draw shopping cards. Let's draw figures and models. Doesn't it seem too...too different?"

   "Is there?"

  Gu Miao blinked and said, "I think it's okay! We are in the toy animation industry, so what's wrong with making models with hands?"

   Moreover, the prizes are not cheap!

   You must know that for this annual meeting, he ordered Lao He in advance to open a new product line at the No. 1 factory and set up a set of "Wanbao Annual Meeting Limited".

  Even if employees don’t like it, if they resell it and sell it with a “Limited” sign, it may be sold at a high price, right?

   Recently, I have a lot of melons, I’m full
