my animation era

"SpongeBob SquarePants" is an abstract animation that creates laughs through abstract thinking and plots.

If you can keep up with this kind of abstract thinking and understand the plot, then you will gain unexpected happiness.

for example.

Pai Daxing and SpongeBob SquarePants often make all kinds of funny walking postures and shout all kinds of weird slogans, even Brother Squidward sometimes can't understand them.

The audience in front of the TV may look at it at first glance, and they will complain about this weird posture and slogan in their hearts?

But when they imitate it subconsciously and suddenly get the abstract truth, their eyes will shine brightly, and they will become as happy as SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick.

That's what animation is all about.

Being able to get the happiness expressed in the abstraction of "SpongeBob SquarePants", that is the target audience of this animation.

Get less than point?
It's a pity that the animation of "SpongeBob SquarePants" that may be enthralled in the eyes of others will be very boring and chaotic in his eyes.

This has nothing to do with age group.

According to the information obtained by Gu Miao, since the animation "SpongeBob SquarePants" landed on North American TV stations, the audience includes both children and nearly half of the adult audience.

Dave said that some people may not get the laugh behind the animation abstraction, so they don't think "SpongeBob SquarePants" is very interesting, and they give up after a few glances.

And some people get the fun of animation, so the more they watch it, the more excited they are, and they are even reluctant to leave the TV.

This happens regardless of age.

Even adults who don't like to watch cartoons, Get the fun of "SpongeBob SquarePants", they can watch it with relish, and laugh at the funny characters of SpongeBob SquarePants and Pai Daxing.

And the other way around...

Even children who like to watch cartoons the most will find "SpongeBob SquarePants" boring if they don't get the fun. I don't know what's so funny?

His arsenic, my honey!
This sentence is quite appropriate for the "SpongeBob SquarePants" animation, because the performance of the animation has indeed proved that not everyone likes this style.

of course!

After all, there are only a few who don't like it. Most people like "SpongeBob SquarePants" very much, and they are even fascinated by watching it. It looks like "Tom and Jerry" when it was born.

This cute yellow sponge cube became popular all over the United States once it was broadcast, and was loved and sought after by countless children and adults.

"Among the tens of millions of viewers, nearly half of them are adults?"

Lao Zhang was shocked, he didn't expect "SpongeBob SquarePants" to attract so many adult viewers to watch.

I thought that animations like "Crayon Shin-chan" would have a very high proportion of adult viewers.

totally unexpected!
One mountain is still higher, and the animation "SpongeBob SquarePants" easily created a record with nearly 50% of the adult audience.

Where did this god Lu Bu come from?

"It's no exaggeration to say that 'SpongeBob SquarePants' is even more popular with adult audiences than 'Tom and Jerry'."

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "Even "Tom and Jerry" doesn't have such a high proportion. After all, the audience of cartoons is still mostly children."

"Yes!"

Regarding this point, Lao Zhang nodded to express his approval. Indeed, in terms of the audience base, it is really puzzling that the proportion of adult audience is so high.

However, considering the abstract level of "SpongeBob SquarePants" animation, it seems to make sense.

"Shall we bring in?"

Seeing that "SpongeBob SquarePants" became very popular after its premiere in North America, and gained tens of millions of viewers, Lao Zhang would be lying if he said he was not impressed.

However, he still has great doubts about whether to introduce this animation.

"SpongeBob SquarePants" is an animation produced by the North American branch. From the director to the painters, and even the cleaners of the branch are all North American locals.

Because of this, the animation has a strong "American thinking".

Originally, "SpongeBob SquarePants" was very abstract, and the jokes were more American. Can the jokes of old American audiences be the same as those of domestic audiences?

Wouldn't domestic audiences get no laughs after making great efforts to introduce it?
"That's not true!"

Gu Miao shook her head: "Although different cultural backgrounds lead to different laughs from the audience, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is not to the point where audiences from other countries can't understand it."

You can definitely understand it.

The jokes can also be understood, and the jokes that are really incomprehensible are actually irrelevant, because putting aside these jokes and just looking at the animation production, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is also an outstanding work.

Therefore, SpongeBob SquarePants will definitely be introduced into the country, and the corresponding Mandarin dubbing and subtitles are already in production.

However, in terms of publicity, it is really impossible to focus the publicity of "SpongeBob SquarePants" on the so-called children...

After being tested in the North American market, it has proved that "SpongeBob SquarePants" has a strong position in the minds of adult audiences. From this point of view, it is absolutely possible to win over adult audiences.

"It's hard!"

"This is not an animation adapted from a popular web novel, nor is it a youth love comedy that everyone loves to see. How can adults be interested?"

Lao Zhang felt that it was difficult for "SpongeBob SquarePants" to try to arouse the curiosity of adult audiences through publicity.

No matter how attractive the content is, once you hear the title of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and take a look at the yellow sponge square, you won't easily click in to watch your animation!

"Who said that?"

"I think it's very simple for "SpongeBob SquarePants" to attract the attention of domestic audiences. It's enough to show everyone a glimpse of the title and listen to the magical theme song."

When Gu Miao said this, a wonderful smile appeared on her face.

"The Pirate and Kids"!
The translation means "Pirates and Children". The name of this song may be unfamiliar to many people, and they feel that they have never heard it.

But when the two lines of dialogue between the captain and the children were "Are you ready kids? Aye Aye Captain.", did you immediately remember it?
That's right!

This "Pirates and Children" is the opening theme song of the classic animation "SpongeBob SquarePants", and it is also one of the most magical and brainwashing English songs in many people's childhood memories.

Especially the captain's devilish laugh at the end, it was so brainwashing, I can't forget it even if I want to...

In fact, when Gu Miao was young, she couldn't understand English at all, but she just thought that the theme song of "SpongeBob SquarePants" had a good melody.

I believe this is also the case for many people. The first feeling when they heard this song when they were young was that it was too simple and rude.

As for the lyrics?What lyrics?
Except for the sentence Are you ready, no one really understood the rest of the lyrics when they were young, right?

It was many years later that Gu Miao found out that the series of words SpongeBob SquarePants sung by the pirate captain and the children actually meant "SpongeBob SquarePants".

To be reasonable, he thought at that time that what the captain and the children were moaning was "Wang~wang~xue~cake~"!
