Chapter 1016 Journey to the West

How much do neon people like Three Kingdoms?
For this question, you may have to go to Neon in person to get an accurate answer after on-site visits and understanding.

Gu Miao has been to Neon, and more than once, there are also Neon people among the company's employees.

So he has a fairly good understanding of the special "Three Kingdoms Complex" of Neon people, and also knows the particularity of the theme of the Three Kingdoms in Neon.

without any exaggeration……

Neon people's love for the culture of the Three Kingdoms has reached an extremely crazy level. There are more than a hundred animations, games and other works with the theme of the Three Kingdoms alone.

This is almost the same as domestic.

Gu Miao's mathematics is not very good, but as an industry insider, he can calculate it with his fingers. Domestic animation and game works with the theme of the Three Kingdoms are about the same.

There are many works, but it can't represent anything.

But if I tell you that neon lights are everywhere in the Three Kingdoms theme park, Three Kingdoms figure sculptures, Three Kingdoms cultural streetscapes, and Three Kingdoms clubs, what would you think?
Would you be surprised and suspect that you heard it wrong, do Neon people really like the culture of the Three Kingdoms so much?
The answer is clear at a glance!
Neon people really like the Three Kingdoms so much, and they are very fond of the celebrities and generals of the Three Kingdoms period.

At that time, the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" produced by CCTV landed on Neon, which attracted thousands of people, and was called "the best Dahe drama!"

If this example can only prove that the CCTV version of the Three Kingdoms was well filmed, but cannot reflect how much Neon people love the Three Kingdoms, then replace it with the later "New Three Kingdoms" TV series.

When the New Three Kingdoms was broadcast, there was still an upsurge of discussion in Neon, and the popularity caught up with the country.

And "Red Cliff", a film with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, even set a record for the highest box office of an Asian film in Neon.

And that's just in the film industry.

In the fields of animation and games, works such as "Three Kingdoms", "Three Kingdoms Warriors", "Three Kingdoms Heroes", "Dynasty Warriors" and other works are also very popular...

It is precisely because Neon people have great enthusiasm for the Three Kingdoms, so when the Wanbao version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation was broadcast, even the raw meat version, Neon viewers watched it with gusto.

This was a scene beyond Ma Kui's expectations.

As a neon person, Koizumi can understand this situation, but he didn't expect that everyone can eat the raw meat version?
This is too fierce!
To be reasonable, if you don't understand the subtitles or understand the lines, the viewing experience will be greatly reduced for works with rich literary content like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This is like a Chinese who doesn't know a foreign language going to watch a historical film and television drama produced abroad, and can't understand it at all.

"The translation and dubbing speed up!"

Realizing this, Gu Miao quickly told Ma Kui and Koizumi: "It is very important to us to complete the dubbing work in popular languages ​​such as English and Japanese as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Gu!"

Ma Kui and Koizumi nodded quickly.

There is no need to remind them that both of them know that this matter must be done quickly. After all, the raw meat version is so popular, so the cooked meat version can't take off?
Other languages ​​are fine, but the English and Japanese versions really need to be translated as soon as possible.

Japanese is for the neon market.

As for the English version, it is actually necessary to launch it, because besides Neon, there are many fans of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" overseas who are following this animation.

Audiences in English-speaking regions also have a lot of people who like the culture of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is not as exaggerated and outrageous as the neon, the needs of this part of the audience cannot be ignored.

……

For the success of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", especially in overseas markets, CCTV is the happiest party, even more happy than Wanbao.

Wanbao is happy because he has money to earn.

And CCTV doesn't care about this small amount of money. The reason they are happy is that this should be considered cultural export, right?Since it is a cultural export, it is a proper political achievement!
Well done Wanbao!

The CCTV, which was overjoyed, didn't think much about it, and didn't even have to wait for the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to finish, and directly took the remaining three of the four major classics to Wanbao to negotiate.

"No, this really won't work."

Regarding CCTV's plan to hand over all the adaptation projects of the remaining three masterpieces to Wanbao, Gu Miao refused, and her attitude was very firm.

He can take Journey to the West.

But the Outlaws of the Marsh and Dream of Red Mansions are still to be forgotten. This is not because he dislikes these two masterpieces, but mainly because he really thinks that the prospects for adapting these two works to animation are not good.

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"No!"

Gu Miao refused very simply, and refused to package the remaining three classics for adaptation, and at most accepted the project of "Journey to the West".

Although CCTV regretted it, it did not force it.

Journey to the West is Journey to the West!

Although the adaptation of Journey to the West is more difficult than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", let alone other things, domestic animation companies are capable of doing this project, and it is estimated that Meiying Studio and Wanbao are the only ones.

The animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be regarded as Wanbao's proof work. With this work, CCTV is also relieved to entrust them with the adaptation project of "Journey to the West".

But Gu Miao also said.

There are too many TV dramas, movies, animations, and games similar to "Journey to the West". Wanbao's adapted version may not be able to achieve the same effect as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

That's an ugly remark up front.

Why is the animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" so effective?That's because there are not many cartoons on the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and only the old version can be used for comparison.

But Journey to the West is different...

Journey to the West is a well-known fantasy masterpiece, and Monkey King is a frequent visitor to major film and television animations, and there are too many works.

Gu Miao was confident that he could do a good job in the "Journey to the West" animation, but he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be better than everyone else.

Don't say anything else.

"Havoc in Heaven" produced by Meiying Studio many years ago is Gu Miao's insurmountable peak of "Journey to the West adaptation animation", which is difficult to surpass.

As for other things, "Dragon Ball" is actually an adaptation of Journey to the West, whether fans admit it or not...

Domestically, there was a Journey to the West animation a few years ago, which was quite popular after it was broadcast, and it was barely considered a boutique.

To sum up, there are many animation works on the theme of Journey to the West, and there are also a lot of high-quality works. Wanbao is not sure about its skills, so it needs to be vaccinated in advance.

For this, CCTV also expressed its understanding.

There are indeed many animation, film and television dramas on the theme of Journey to the West, and they have reached the point of flooding.Their internal expectation is that they just hope to achieve the results of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation.

"That's no problem..."

After thinking about it, Gu Miao felt that this goal was achievable.

It is just the same achievement as the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". According to his understanding of the CCTV version of "Journey to the West" animation, it is not difficult to achieve this.
