My Animation Era

  Chapter 915 Last glory, Bugs Bunny!

  Since two years ago, the development strategy of Wanbao Animation has no longer focused on TV platforms.

  At first, it was part of the animation, and began to try to premiere or even broadcast exclusively on the network platform, and compare the effect with the TV platform.

And then…

  Starting from this year, Wanbao's new animations are basically based on the Internet and supplemented by TV. Even if the dual platforms are updated simultaneously, the online platform will attract more viewers.

  What to do in the future?

   Gu Miao has also considered this matter. Perhaps next year or even the year after, Wanbao will adopt the method of "network exclusive broadcast". Unless it is animation for young children, it will not be shown on TV.

   Even Wanbao's most famous animation series, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", which is also the soul of Wanbao, may not be broadcast on TV stations in the future.

   "What about the partner?"

   Faced with Mr. Gu's statement, Lao Zhang had some doubts, because switching platforms is not just switching, what about those TV stations that have cooperated for many years?

  Wanbao moved all of its new works to the Wanbao video website for exclusive broadcasting. The old brothers who used to eat meat and drink soup together must have some opinions in their hearts.

   "Just explain clearly."

  Gu Miao explained with a smile: "The past was the past, and the present is the present. In the past, there was no choice. If you don't broadcast your animation on TV, no one will watch it. Now the situation is different."

   "Besides, is it because we don't want to be broadcast on TV? Isn't it because the TV industry is about to turn over and the audience is getting smaller and smaller. What's wrong with us looking for a new way out?"

   It cannot be blamed for Wanbao being ruthless.

  The entire Chinese manga industry, almost as a whole, is moving closer to the online platform. Nine out of ten new animations are exclusively broadcast on the Internet.

certainly!

   It’s not that after everyone withdraws from the TV platform, there will be no cartoons to be broadcast on TV stations around the world.

it's out of the question.

   It’s just that after everyone withdraws from the TV platform, the average quality of the animations broadcast on the TV platform in the future may not be that high, and the plot is more inclined to be childish and young.

"You mean, TV stations may not see animations like "Super Beast Armor" and "Digimon" in the future, but animations for preschoolers like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested"?" Lao Zhang was puzzled.

"right!"

  Gu Miao nodded, and then explained: "The market is sinking further. Animations with excellent quality and plots will be concentrated on the online platform. Only those animations aimed at preschool children will be considered for broadcasting on the TV platform."

   To put it bluntly.

   Animations of the quality of Pleasant Goat and Haunted Bear will rarely be seen on TV platforms in the future.

  Everyone rushed to the Internet platform with one brain, and what was left to the TV platform was naturally a pile of leftovers, or animations that no one watched on the Internet.

   "Bugs Bunny" will be the last afterglow!

   This is Gu Miao's judgment, and it is also the judgment of the directors of many children's cartoon channels.

  Wanbao Animation's business is moving closer to the Internet and gradually moving away from the TV platform. This is a trend that everyone can see. It's not just Wanbao, but the well-known domestic animation companies basically give priority to online platforms for their new works.

  That is under this premise.

  Wanbao deliberately released the news, and the "Bugs Bunny" animation, which intends to move closer to the TV platform, naturally attracted the attention of many TV stations.

  How is the quality of Bugs Bunny?

   Isn't this nonsense!

  If the quality is so bad, then why do people fight for the first-run broadcast rights and exclusive premiere titles? Ready to compete even months in advance?

  …

  The production of the first season of the animation "Bugs Bunny" is coming to an end, and the samples have been sent to various TV stations.

   This is a signal!

  When Wanbao contacted various children's cartoon channels and hinted that the animation would be submitted for review, everyone understood what Wanbao meant.

  They're on fire...

  Knowing that everyone wants the exclusive rights to broadcast the first round of "Bugs Bunny", so I deliberately released the news of "submitting for review", hoping that everyone will fight and raise the price as high as possible.

  Such an obvious trick, will anyone really fall for it?

   The answer is yes!

  Knowing that Wanbao has bad intentions, there are still quite a few children's cartoon channels who voluntarily hook up, and the bids are getting higher and higher.

  Gu Miao discussed with Xiao Qiu, the person in charge of Konjac Studio, and decided to invite representatives of various TV stations to watch the edited sample of "Bugs Bunny".

  Whether something is good or not, you can only know after reading it!

   Just saying that "Bugs Bunny" is amazing and wonderful, some people may not be convinced, so I called people to Jiangchuan and sat down to watch a few episodes together.

  Gu Miao didn't believe it anymore.

   "Bugs Bunny" is so exciting and beautiful, it is not inferior to the animation of "Tom and Jerry", these people are not at all moved after watching it.

  As long as their hearts are moved, then his goal will be achieved.

  The more TV stations participating in the competition, the higher the price will be, and the less pressure the animation "Bugs Bunny" will have to pay back.

   Yes, money back!

  Gu Miao is not joking when comparing "Tom and Jerry" to "Bugs Bunny". The production cost of this animation is indeed ridiculously high.

  Although it cannot be compared with pure hand-drawn animation, but the cost is averaged, there is no problem in making 3-4 "Super Cool Cats" of the same length.

  And compared to the almost silent performance of "Tom and Jerry", the animation "Bugs Bunny" has more lines and spends more on dubbing.

What?

  You ask why "Bugs Bunny" is so funny? Is there something wrong with this?

Trivia!

  The original "Bugs Bunny" animation was aimed at Di Baobao, the Hollywood animation giant at the time, especially Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck under Di Baobao.

   To put it bluntly, Bugs Bunny is actually a nail for Warner to try to leverage Di Baobao’s status as a giant in the animation field.

  General animation works can’t take on this task, so “Bugs Bunny” is so special.

  By the way, I mentioned it.

   Domestic audiences may think that "Bugs Bunny" is inferior to "Tom and Jerry", but the two works abroad are actually of the same grade.

  Especially in some areas, Bugs Bunny, a snarky rabbit who loves to eat carrots, is actually more popular than Tom and Jerry.

certainly!

  It's pointless to discuss this. If you really care about it, Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry are still "students from the same school".

  As the same grade as "Tom and Jerry", and as a cartoon character used to rival the legendary mouse, "Bugs Bunny" is destined not to sell cheaply.

  Gu Miao will not allow this kind of thing to happen, and those TV stations who are so greedy for "Bugs Bunny" will not allow others to steal it at a low price.

   In the end, Shonan Children's Channel was even better!

  Backed on the big tree of Shonan TV Station, plus Shonan Children's TV station is also one of the top TV stations in the country with strong financial resources, it is reasonable to win Bugs Bunny.

but…

  The schedule given by Shonan Children's Channel gave Gu Miao a headache.

  Isn’t it good to broadcast an animation like Temiao’s "Bugs Bunny" after school in the afternoon? Why is it airing at ten o'clock in the evening?

   The Internet at home was broken and I went to the Internet cafe to code, but I came out after sitting for less than ten minutes. Why didn’t I notice such a big smell in the Internet cafe before?
