My Animation Era

  Chapter 464 "Hot Potato" Pleasant Goat (for subscription)

   "Mr. Gu, well said!"

  As soon as the symposium ended, Mr. Qiu from Konjac Animation came up to Gu Miao and praised with a thumbs up.

   "Your words have pointed out the direction for everyone. After listening to your speech, I also want to try an animation with unpopular and niche themes..."

   "You can try it."

  Konjac Animation As a good friend of Wanbao, Gu Miao is happy to point out the way for Mr. Qiu: "Aren't online novels very popular recently, the Tomb Raider genre, I don't think it's a big problem to adapt it."

   "Oh! Really?"

   "Since you have said so, Mr. Gu, then I have to study it later."

  Hearing this, Mr. Qiu, who was immediately interested, silently wrote down the word "tomb robber", and planned to go back and read it carefully to see if it was worth adapting.

  If it is really worth adapting, and if the copyright is not expensive, then Mr. Qiu doesn't mind buying it to try something new with an unpopular and niche theme.

   Although under his promotion, Konjac Animation has given up most of its original projects and is mainly engaged in animation outsourcing business.

  But this does not mean that Mr. Qiu has completely given up on "original" animation.

  The reason why the transformation is not to engage in originality is mainly because I have no money and I am almost unable to survive. Now that I have made money, and this kind of "unpopular niche" theme doesn't cost too much, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

   That's not the point.

  After the painful lessons of the past few years, Mr. Qiu's obsession with original animation is no longer what it used to be.

  Compared to the so-called "grave robbery" theme, he wanted to get a big production order for the well-known animation "sequel" from Gu Miao.

   "Huh? A sequel?"

  Gu Miao, who entered a western restaurant under the leadership of President Qiu, couldn't help but ask, "Haven't we always cooperated in this regard?"

   If he remembers correctly.

  From the end of last year to the present, Konjac Animation has been involved in the production of many projects under Wanbao Animation.

  The cooperation between the two parties is so close that it can be said that they wear the same pair of pants. Why did Mr. Qiu suddenly mention this?

   "I didn't mean that..."

   President Qiu waved his hand and sighed, "I mean, we, Konjac Animation, haven't produced a complete animation for a long time."

   "So I want to discuss with you, is it possible to hand over a complete animation project to us for production?"

   "Don't worry, the fee will be cheaper. It doesn't matter how much you earn, the main thing is to make a complete animation, which will give us a sense of accomplishment."

   Complete animation project?

  Gu Miao took a sip of water, looked at Mr. Qiu opposite, her eyes were full of surprise.

  He really didn't expect that President Qiu would suddenly make such a request. But from Mr. Qiu's point of view, it's really boring to keep "playing hands" with others.

   Well known.

  The animation outsourcing part is usually some "repetitive" time-consuming and labor-intensive dirty work. Doing this kind of work wears down the will of an animator.

  Konjac Animation used to be an original company.

   Now, in order to survive, I have to give up originality, and work as a nanny at Wanbao’s house next door, mopping the floor and cleaning the table to do all kinds of dirty work.

   It’s okay to say in a short time.

   After a long time, I am afraid most people in the company will think that Konjac Animation has no future, and staying here is a waste of time and life...

  By then, Konjac Anime is in danger! I'm afraid Mr. Qiu couldn't hold back the successive resignation reports.

  Based on this premise, Gu Miao can understand President Qiu's thoughts.

   It's just that he is hesitant...

  Wanbao has many IPs, most of which are "high-quality animation projects". Is it really okay to hand over this kind of animation project to Konjac Animation?

   "President Gu!"

   Seemingly seeing through Gu Miao's hesitation and knowing what he was thinking, Mr. Qiu quickly patted his chest and assured him: "If you are worried, you can send someone to our company to supervise us at all times."

   "If you are not satisfied with the finished film, we can also tear it down and redo it."

"let me see…"

  Gu Miao stroked her chin and said, "Then the nature of the cooperation is still the same as before, right? You are an OEM and only get salary and bonus?"

"right!"

  Mr. Qiu affirmed: "The copyright still belongs to Wanbao. We only need a producer's name right to let the audience know that this season is made by Konjac Animation."

  Co-producer?

  It doesn't matter, after all, it's just a name to let everyone know that this animation is produced by Konjac Animation.

  Gu Miao frowned and fell into deep thought.

  Boss Qiu didn't urge him, and after more than ten minutes, he said: "Yes, I agree."

   "Well, it happens that no one will take over the fourth season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" this year, are you willing to do it?"

   "Huh? Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?"

  President Qiu stared wide-eyed, and looked at Gu Miao in disbelief.

   What did he hear?

  I thought that even if Mr. Gu agreed to this matter, he would not hand over his ace IP to Konjac Animation to make a sequel.

   Mr. Qiu expected that it should be the second season of "Happy Baby" or the third season of "Pigman"...

   It turned out to be the famous "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"!

   "That's right, Pleasant Goat!"

  When Gu Miao said this, her expression was full of embarrassment and helplessness.

   The IP of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is definitely a "hot potato" in Wanbao Animation.

  He asked Huang Kun, Hou Bin, Wang Dao, Guo Hongwei and others one after another, and everyone said that they would rather starve to death and jump off the Wanbao Building than take over the fourth season.

  Don’t ask, it’s cowardly to ask.

   Pleasant Goat is too famous, and there has also been a serious "loss of audience". If it were two years ago, everyone would be happy to accept the procedure.

   But now...

  Who dares to shoot the fourth season of this thing?

   It should have been filmed. After all, the popularity of the IP of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is here, and it has nothing to do with your director.

  The filming was poor. Think about the "Internet violence" that Guo Hongwei encountered when the third season was broadcast. It was all the fault of the director. Who can stand it?

  This kind of thankless project, Wanbao's old fritters, refused to take over no matter what.

no way!

  Worrying that no one will take over, Gu Miao, who wants to go out to take over the "sin" by herself, after learning of Mr. Qiu's request, although there is no expression on her face, she is actually smiling in her heart.

Great!

   It can be counted as someone who is willing to take this hot potato away.

   Mr. Qiu is indeed a good brother.

  Knowing that no one in Wanbao is willing to take this job, he took the initiative to stand up and said righteously: If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell?

   It's just so touching.

"come on!"

   Before Mr. Qiu could speak, Gu Miao couldn't wait to finalize the matter: "I'll send someone later to send you the preliminary plan and materials."

   "Mr. Qiu, don't worry!"

   "Not only is the name of the producer, but your name will also be pasted at the beginning of the animation...Bold and large! Be sure to let the audience know that you made the fourth season of Pleasant Goat."

  Mr. Qiu: "..."

  How did he smell a "conspiracy" from this sentence?

   Facts: The hotter the anime, the more influential it is, the more difficult it is to determine the sequel director/supervisor...
