My Animation Era

  The good news of the first month keeps coming.

  Before there was news that the total box office of the movie "Golden Rooster Dawn" exceeded 2 billion, and later there was good news that the number of broadcasts of "New Year's Goods" exceeded 100 million.

  One movie and one TV special respectively symbolize the great success of Wanbao in the fields of TV animation and theatrical version.

   This is enviable!

  Especially those friends, after seeing the box office of "Golden Rooster Dawn" surpassed 2 billion, they were so envious that they couldn't produce an animated film that was as profitable as "Golden Rooster Dawn".

   But then again...

   The big guys are envious, they are really envious, they really dare not make any animated movies on the spur of the moment.

   After all, over the years, everyone has basically suffered a loss or two, knowing that animation movies are not so easy to make, and the water in them is too deep.

   If you are not careful, you will be lost forever!

  In the domestic animation industry, any large-scale enterprise is very cautious, and will not easily gamble with the company's future on an animation film that may face failure.

   Compared with movies, TV animation or web animation is more suitable for everyone.

  “…In the past two years, with the vigorous promotion and support of many video websites, online animation has shown a trend of explosive growth.”

   "According to statistics, in the second half of last year alone, there were more than 1,800 online animation episodes registered in China, which is quite an astonishing number."

  At the first conference at the beginning of the year, Lao Zhang introduced the latest developments in the industry to everyone, and then compared it with TV animation, telling a very shocking fact.

  "Internet animation has become a sub-category with the highest proportion of domestic animation. Both the annual output value and the number of minutes of episodes have surpassed TV animation."

   "Tsk tsk!"

  Gu Miao asked a little puzzled: "What about our Wanbao data? What do we focus on? Are the benefits of online animation more than TV animation?"

"exceeded!"

   "The TV animation broadcast last year, the best performers are "Bear Infested 2", "Little Boy" and "Bugs Bunny"."

  Old Zhang shook his head: "But even for these three animations, the revenue earned on the online platform is still higher than that on the TV platform, especially Bugs Bunny, which has doubled."

   This is an obvious fact.

  Through the Internet platform, the number of viewers watching cartoons on smartphones, tablets, or computers is significantly higher than that on the TV platform.

  Wanbao’s previous strategy, which is to turn to online animation in an all-round way, is basically correct, and the TV platform has indeed declined.

  Now the question is...

  After knowing this, will Wanbao adjust its strategy this year? Will the proportion of funds invested in online animation be higher than last year?

   "The adjustment is normal."

  As the boss, Gu Miao first expressed her attitude: "Aren't there many old animations that will have sequels this year? In my opinion, these sequels should be aired exclusively on the Internet."

   There is no need to go to the TV platform to compete.

  Taking the famous "Yu-Gi-Oh" series as an example, most of the viewers watching this animation are on the Internet platform, why should the sequel be on the TV platform?

   More than Yu-Gi-Oh.

   Many classic old animations, such as the "Digimon" series, "Pokemon" series, and "The Prince of Tennis" series, are actually the same.

   Unless it is Pleasant Goat and Bear Infested, which are aimed at children, it is difficult to separate them from the TV platform, and there is no need for other animations to be on TV now.

   By the way.

  Even for the Pleasant Goat series, the season of "Yangcun Guardian" that is being produced, Gu Miao does not plan to broadcast it on the TV platform.

   As for the reason...

   It's quite funny to say, who isn't playing with a mobile phone and a computer among the children nowadays? When they watch TV, how much time do they really spend playing with mobile phones and computers?

   I'm afraid not necessarily!

  …

  The first executive meeting of the new year mainly discussed two things.

  The first thing is the development direction of Wanbao this year. It is determined to focus on sequels and supplemented by original works. And most animations will transform from TV animations to network animations.

  The second thing is that Wanbao Group will invest more in the North American branch this year. As for the Jiangchuan headquarters and the neon branch, they are relatively less important.

   There is a reason for this.

  The North American Division has popular sequels such as the second season of "Tom and Jerry" this year, as well as blockbuster new works such as "Superman" and "SpongeBob SquarePants". The group must invest more.

  In contrast, Jiangchuan headquarters and Neon branch generally focus on sequels this year, so why do they need heavy investment?

   Especially the Neon Division.

   I don’t know if they are crazy. After American War R and American War S, they planned a sequel project called American War SR this year.

   Good guy!

   This is a wonderful development that Gu Miao had never imagined. After he learned of the name, he called Seto and asked, where did this SR come from?

   Then he knew that this SR turned out to be the abbreviation of Sailor’s Return, which literally translates to “Sailor’s Return” in English.

  So the real name of "Sailor Moon SR" should be "Sailor Moon: Return of the Sailor"!

   There is nothing wrong with the name.

  It’s just a bit difficult to think of the current SR in combination with the abbreviated names of R and S in the previous seasons.

   "The sequel to SR, wouldn't it be SSR? Super Sailor's Return, Super Sailor's Return?"

   "Good good good good!"

  Seto hurriedly wrote down the name, and then said: "We are worried about the difficulty of naming the sequel of "Sailor Moon". SSR is good, and we will use this in the next season."

  Gu Miao: "..."

   Broken, he took it seriously!

  Gu Miao couldn't think about it, if the sequel of Sailor Moon in the next season is really called US War SSR, then how should fans look at this series directly in the future?

  Krypton gold draw card mobile game, right?

  People are grading individual characters, but Sailor Moon is better, and directly grading animations.

   Are you watching American War R?

  Brother stinky, climb up quickly, I'm watching the US War SSR! It's just a mere US battle R, where's the courage to bark here?

  It's outrageous to think about it.

   But having said that, Sailor Moon finished the season of SuperS, and the sequel is really hard to name.

   Unless you learn from Toei and start a new series of "Sailor Moon Crystal" after many years, if you keep making sequels, SR and SSR are really good.

   "Stop doing SSR."

  Gu Miao rubbed her forehead and said, "The Sailor Moon series has produced so many works in one go, I believe the audience will get tired of watching them."

  It’s good to change the taste.

  Crystal may not be everyone’s favorite, but it is a very important milestone work in the American War series after all, and it is also the most faithful version of the original comics. Wanbao should not give up on it.

  Aside from the childhood filter, the new version of Crystal is actually not bad, and the character and painting style of the characters are more in line with the original.

  It’s just that too many people are too impressed with the old version of animation, so they can’t stand the new version...
