My Animation Era

  Chapter 952 Must-read for children?

  In addition to the animation dubbing in regional dialects, Mr. Qiu also brought another surprising news to Gu Miao.

That is, the animation "Bugs Bunny" was successfully selected into the list of 100 children's must-see animations selected by the national radio and television management department, along with "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Infested", "Digimon", "Dragon Fighter" , "The Messenger of Light" and a series of animations produced by Wanbao.

You can say that…

  Among the first batch of officially announced 100 must-watch animations for children, animation IPs under Wanbao accounted for a quarter.

  Basically everything that should be selected was selected, except for some special animations that were not selected. 80% of the works of Wanbao Animation were selected.

  What is special animation?

   Actually, it is easy to understand that animations such as "Tom and Jerry" are not on the list, and are not even among the candidates.

  As for the reason for not being selected, it’s not because these animations are not classic enough, nor exciting enough. The main reason is that the animations included in the list have a rigid requirement, that is, the production company must be a Huaguo enterprise registered in Huaguo.

For animations such as "Tom and Jerry", "Sailor Moon" and "Dragon Ball", although the copyright belongs to Wanbao, and the animations are also produced and distributed by Wanbao's subsidiaries, Wanbao's North American branch and Neon branch are not in China. Domestic registration.

   This is embarrassing!

  Even if everyone knows that Wanbao Animation [Neon] branch and Wanbao Animation [North America] branch are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Wanbao Group, these two companies are actually domestic enterprises.

  But the official rigid standards do not care about this. As long as it is a company registered and established abroad, its works will be excluded, and it will not be included in this must-see list.

   If you can’t get in, you can’t get in.

  Although animation works that enter this list will receive relatively high social attention and policy support, which can be regarded as a good honor, but this is not a necessity.

  Animations such as Tom and Jerry and Dragon Ball are already full of honors. Even if this honor is missing, it will not be affected in any way, and the audience who should watch it will still watch it.

   It is some unpopular animations that are not well-known, and few people even know their names. It is very necessary to be included in this list to increase their popularity.

   Does Wanbao have such an animation?

   The answer is yes!

  Wanbao Animation’s puppet studio, most of the animations produced are not well-known. Even the very popular "Avanti Story" at that time, few people remember it now.

   There is also "Devil Soldiers on Maoer Mountain", as an unpopular cartoon with anti-Japanese themes, its performance was very mediocre when it was broadcast, and no one mentioned it after so long.

   It is definitely a good thing that animations like these that have been forgotten or have not broadcast outstanding results can be included in the list.

   It is quite normal for Bugs Bunny to be selected.

  Compared to this, the selection of "Hell Girl" is even more surprising and unbelievable.

  Gu Miao's jaw dropped in shock.

"real or fake?"

   It is absolutely reasonable to say that other animations can be selected. With the completion quality and artistic attainments of these animation works of Wanbao, it is strange that they were not selected.

   But the selection of the animation "Hell Girl" seems very unscientific!

   After all, when it was broadcast, the animation "Hell Girl" caused great controversy on the Internet, and its plot was more or less adult, so it was not suitable for children to watch.

   Such a work, the official actually thinks it is a "must-see for children"?

  …

  Not long ago, Gu Miao learned that an animation called "Bingguo" was being broadcast on Neon through Mr. Xiong's channel.

   After finding out the contact information of the producer, he immediately asked Seto to contact the other party, hoping to bring the team under his command. If you can't buy it, then buy out the copyright of "Bingguo" IP, or poach the team.

  Gu Miao's idea is very simple.

  The studio named Kyoani, since they can produce "Bingguo", it shows that they are not simple, there must be great talents in the team, and he has always attached great importance to talents.

  As the imperial envoy, Seto contacted Kyoani Studio on behalf of Wanbao. After a period of negotiation and exchange, a breakthrough was finally made.

   According to Seto.

  Kyoani has three founders, two of whom are in favor of Wanbao’s acquisition and merger plan, but one is more stubborn and does not trust Wanbao’s guarantee and commitment. Seto has made a lot of efforts to persuade him.

  The founder who resisted Wanbao’s acquisition was mainly worried that after Kyoani Studio was acquired by Wanbao Animation, they would not be able to do the animation they wanted.

  This is also the disadvantage of large enterprises!

  Wanbao is a world-renowned animation company. To be invited to join by such an enterprise is certainly something to be delighted about.

   But everything has two sides.

  Back against a big tree to enjoy the shade, join Wanbao to eat and drink without worrying about food and drink, and you don’t have to worry about production budget in the future, but working in such a large company will greatly restrict your freedom.

  It used to be a small workshop. Although your pockets are cleaner than your face, and you get sponsorship and investment for an animation, life is relatively difficult, but the good thing is that you can do whatever you want, and no one will care about you if you are responsible for your own profits and losses.

  It will be different in the future.

  If Kyoani really joins Wanbao and becomes an animation studio under the [Neon] branch of Wanbao, will there be an extra person in charge?

   In the future, when you do animation, can you do whatever you want? Will the company's senior management intervene in the production of the project and dictate their work?

   This is the founder's concern, and it is also the biggest obstacle to Wanbao's acquisition of Kyoani studio.

  In order to solve this problem and dispel the concerns of the founder, Seto made a guarantee, clearly stating that after Kyoani Studio joins Wanbao, its independence will not be affected, and the company's senior management will not interfere with their project production at will.

  Under the unremitting efforts of Seto, the diehard founder finally agreed to the proposal that Kyoani Studio would be merged into Wanbao Animation collectively.

  However, after the merger, the founder requested to retain 5% of Kyoani studio shares. Seto dared not agree to this condition easily, so he called Gu Miao.

   "Promise him."

  It's only 5% of the shares, Gu Miao doesn't really care.

  Even if he knew that the 5% shares might be worth a lot in the future, he didn't feel distressed.

  Because Seto told him that the founder who insisted on retaining Kyoani's independence is the supervisor and script of the animation "Hyogo".

   Good guy!

   This is the talent Gu Miao needs!

  Reluctant that the child cannot be tied to the wolf, Kyoani Studio is the painstaking effort of others. It is acceptable to leave him a 5% stake and tie him firmly to the chariot of Wanbao.
