My Animation Era

  Chapter 968 The first person to eat crabs

  Superman is more than Superman.

   To be more precise, the Superman series sold by Wheeler is actually a collection of superhero IPs including Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

   Yes, collectively…

  In this parallel world, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman and other classic Justice League superheroes are actually appendages of Superman, and no one thought of stripping them all out.

   This also gave Gu Miao a chance.

  Since there is no concept of "Justice League" in this parallel world, he will be the one who eats crabs and implants the classic superhero assembly setting into the "Superman" series.

"Pity!"

  When mentioning the assembly of superheroes, Gu Miao immediately thought of the Avengers, who were once popular all over the world and were more famous than the Justice League.

   Marvel comics!

  Most of the superheroes that Chinese people are most familiar with come from Marvel Comics, which later became the Marvel Universe.

   On the contrary, it is the Justice League. Except for the popularity of Superman and Batman, other characters, such as The Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, are actually not as famous as the superheroes of Marvel.

  Of course, this refers to Hua Guo.

I don’t discuss the situation abroad, at least in the Huaguo market, DC superheroes are not as popular as Marvel superheroes, even if it is the well-received "Batman The Dark Knight", people who have seen it may not necessarily have a few reunions many.

Therefore.

  Gu Miao was a little disappointed that the object of the leak was the Justice League, not the Avengers.

   It’s not that the Justice League is inferior to the Avengers, mainly because in his opinion, the superheroes of the Avengers are obviously more appetizing to domestic audiences.

  The Justice League is good, but if there is a choice, he will still choose the more famous and commercial Avengers.

  No way, I need a meal!

  But the matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to say that it is a pity. Spending 250 million U.S. dollars to pick up a prototype of the Justice League is already a lot of money, and there is no need to ask for more.

Moreover…

  The Justice League is not bad, at least in North America, it is not a big problem to beat the current industry giant, that is, Mardete Comics.

   When it comes to Mardete Company, Gu Miao is very angry.

  That greedy old man George, who made fun of him as a fool in several conversations, has not recognized the reality until now, and still thinks that he can handle Wanbao.

  It's time for him to wake up completely.

  Nantong stays in North America. Apart from sorting out the copyright handover of the "Superman" series, the most important thing is to attract a group of depressed North American cartoonists to establish Wanbao Comics (North America) branch.

  This branch company, at the beginning of its establishment, aimed at No.1 in the North American comics industry, which is Mardete.

  The weapons that Gu Miao prepared for them were the Justice League comic series such as "Batman", "The Flash" and "Green Lantern" which were stripped from the "Superman" series and produced independently.

  This kind of luxurious lineup is more than enough to solve a Mardete company.

  Gu Miao really can't think of the possibility that Wanbao Comics, which holds the copyrights of Batman, Green Lantern, Flash and other superhero comics, will lose to Mardete in the competition.

unless…

  Old man George has hidden a big trick, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain North America, and other well-known superhero comic characters!

   But is it possible?

  …

  The rework of the "Superman" series, including the production of the 96 version of Superman animation, is still in the planning and drafting stage, and it may not be effective until next year.

  But the hit animation "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" doesn't need to wait that long. Less than a week after it started broadcasting, the results have already exploded.

   Not only did it top the charts for both ratings and broadcast volume, but it also gained a good reputation across the Internet.

  Gu Miao has many friends around her, including some practitioners in the animation and comics industry, who have also expressed their love for "Shen Bing Xiaojiang", and praises are endless.

  Even Liu Zida, known as the number one black fan of Wanbao, also praised the production and plot of the animation "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" many times in private chats.

certainly!

  The persona created by Liu Zida is after all a "Wanbao black fan", so at most he would talk about this kind of thing in private, and he still needs to make a few sharp comments when he actually releases the video.

  From the perspective of a black fan, he pointed out many shortcomings and deficiencies of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang".

  So, Gu Miao attaches great importance to his opinion.

  As the saying goes, a true master always has the heart of an apprentice! It's not terrible to be pointed out by others, but what's terrible is that you don't even have the courage to face up to your shortcomings.

  Gu Miao felt that Liu Zida's ability to pick the bones in the egg was very good, so he humbly asked him for advice, hoping to get some suggestions on the follow-up improvement of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" from the black fan boss.

  But obviously, he overestimated Liu Zida too much.

   This compelling video is purely hype, and the video copywriting is mostly on paper. If he really wants to give any reliable advice to the production team, it's better to expect a sow to climb a tree!

  However, talking on paper also has the advantage of talking on paper, that is, the brain opening is so big that sometimes even Gu Miao is surprised.

  For example, during the conversation, Liu Zida proposed to Gu Miao about making a native 2K, 4K hand-painted 2D animation.

   Is this special meow speaking human language?

  When Gu Miao saw this line of words, she directly blocked Liu Zida without thinking about it, and she no longer wanted to continue chatting with him.

   Can't chat!

  4K hand-painted animation, without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, it is impossible to make such a suggestion.

   Does Wanbao have this strength? Of course there is, and all conditions are met in terms of capital and manpower. As long as you want to do it, you can definitely do it.

  But the problem is...

  What is the point of making this kind of animation that purely challenges the pinnacle of hand-painting?

  4K is too far away for ordinary viewers. The ordinary 1080P resolution, Gu Miao felt that it was already very good, sometimes even 720P was enough.

  It can be done, but it is not necessary!

  Gu Miao dismissed this proposal at first, until Liu Zida said that no one in China had tried this before, and his attitude changed instantly.

   No precedent?

   Does that mean that as long as Wanbao can make it, regardless of whether it looks good or not, at least it can occupy this high ground in advance and win the title of "the first domestically produced true 4K animation"?

  “The first person to land on the moon and Mars will be written into the history books for future generations to look up to. Wanbao is already very strong, why not challenge the peak?”

  Gu Miao admitted that he was moved.

  Wanbao is indeed not short of money or people, so he is very concerned about this kind of false fame. After all, if this is successful, it will be a work that can be included in animation textbooks.
