Chapter 1047 Go boy, everything is good except Go!

Gu Miao originally planned to promote the model of the domestic Wanbao Cup tennis tournament to the world, but suffered from the lack of suitable opportunities.

Now the opportunity is coming!

When the Wanbao Cup National Competition was held, a private middle school in North America suddenly came to their door, hoping to play a friendly match with the national champion determined this year.

The private middle school that came to him was not an ordinary middle school, but a strong tennis school with a rich heritage and many famous tennis players.

If this year's national champion can beat them, it will undoubtedly make a big splash in the world, and the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament will also attract attention overseas...

So, Gu Miao agreed.

But promises and promises, everyone has no confidence in whether this year's national champion can beat this strong North American school that came to make trouble.

the reason is simple.

Judging from the current schedule and performance, if there is no accident, Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School will definitely be able to defend the championship.

But in the tennis school team of Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School, except for a classmate Shen Chao who can give everyone a little confidence, everyone else seems to be almost interested.

One God with N Pit?
This sentence is used here, but it is very appropriate.

Gu Miao knew what everyone was thinking, so he didn't explain too much. Instead, he informed Shen Chao of the matter in advance during the game break.

"How? Are you sure?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Gu!"

Different from the worries of Wanbao's high-level executives, Shen Chao, as the party involved, said with great confidence: "We will definitely win, and we will not embarrass you."

"That's good."

When Gu Miao heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Shen Chao on the shoulder, saying everything without saying a word.

The result of the subsequent competition was also as everyone had guessed. Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School broke out with amazing strength, defeated all opponents like autumn leaves, and successfully defended the championship.

Two consecutive championships!

This is the second time that Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School has won the Wanbao Cup National Competition Championship Trophy, and it is also the second time that Shen Chao has been awarded the Most Valuable Player in the National Competition.

Three competitions, one runner-up and two championships.

The invincible performance of Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School shocked countless netizens, and various media also wrote and published articles immediately, spreading the news of Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School's second consecutive championship across the country.

However, before everyone recovered from the surprise of Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School's second consecutive championship, a notice from the Wanbao Cup Organizing Committee immediately made everyone worry.

Huamei Middle School Student Tennis Exchange Tournament?

Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School, who has just defended the championship, will face off against a traditional tennis school from North America in a week's time?
Good guy!
If it is said that in the national competition, everyone has their own teams to support, and you see me as unhappy while you feel unhappy, then in this Huamei Exchange Competition, everyone has become extremely united.

The enemy is now, unanimously external!
No matter if they were fans of Qiushi Middle School, Lele Middle School, or the High School Affiliated to Dongdae University, they all put aside their past suspicions and cheered for Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School.

For a while, the attention and popularity of this nominal exchange match was even higher than that of the previous national competition finals.

"Although there is no name for the national team, there is the reality of the national team!"

Lao Zhang worried: "Everyone is happy if they win, but if they lose...can these junior high school students really bear it?"

When it comes to this kind of cross-border confrontational competition, the enthusiasm of the Chinese people has always been high, and they are more united than usual.

But once this kind of game is lost, the pressure of public opinion on the players is not as great as most people can imagine.

This is what Lao Zhang was worried about.

The team members of Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School are generally relatively young and only attended junior high school.

It is too cruel for these children to face and bear such terrifying pressure.After all, no matter what, they are still a group of children, not real national team players!

"Trust them!"

Gu Miao was relatively calmer than Lao Zhang, and her expression did not fluctuate from the beginning to the end.

But he also pretended.

For such a major event, even if he trusted Shen Chao again, he would still feel nervous when it came to an end.

Fortunately, he was prepared with both hands.

Regardless of the outcome of the exchange match, at least the format of the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament can be successfully promoted to overseas countries, and the preparations for the World Championship are also proceeding smoothly.

of course!

Winning is definitely the best.

……

When the exchange match was held, Gu Miao did not go to the scene to watch the match.

He didn't want to put too much pressure on the players, he just wanted to be calm. If he hadn't received the happy call from Lao Zhang, he would have even forgotten that there was an exchange match today.

"Won?"

"Well, I won!"

Lao Zhang told Gu Miao that he thought that the level of tennis in Huaguo was far from that of North America, but after playing it, he realized that the level is actually similar.

It's hard to say about the higher-level professional-level competition, but at the level of middle school students, the top middle school students in China and the United States are indeed at the same level.

It's surprising, but it's normal when you think about it.

After all, when they were junior high school students, their bodies were still developing, and their golf skills hadn't been honed to the point of perfection. How could the anime "The Prince of Tennis" depict such horror?
No way?
Wouldn't someone really regard "The Prince of Tennis" as a realistic animation, and think that in reality there really is a pervert who mastered world-class tennis skills in junior high school and left countless professional players in the dust?

Don't make trouble!

Gu Miao has always felt that the most outrageous thing about "The Prince of Tennis" is not the asura gods, nor is it the state of selflessness, nor is it the light hitting the ball in the dark...

These skills are outrageous, but the most outrageous thing is, can junior high school students master these skills?
Reality is not anime.

A genius like Echizen Ryoma is destined to only appear in anime. For a real junior high school student, it is impossible to play too abnormal tennis just because of his physical fitness.

This is also the main reason why Jiangchuan No. 3 Middle School won 2:[-] in this Huamei Exchange Competition.

The foundations are similar, the players of Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School have more experience in the competition, and have experienced more bitter battles than the opponent, and there is a pervert like Shen Chao in charge, why can't they win?

Shaking her head, not thinking about the exchange competition for the time being, Gu Miao calmed down and looked at a document on the desktop impatiently.

[Suggestions about making a new sports animation! 】

"...even though it has been over for a long time, the animation "The Prince of Tennis" is still full of vitality in different fields, and derivative events and IP peripherals are becoming more and more popular."

"It can be seen that the vitality of a high-quality sports animation is very long, not inferior to other types of animation with a wider audience..."

This is an internal document drafted by the IP management and operation department of Wanbao Animation, soliciting opinions from several animation producers, and submitting directly to Mr. Gu.

The content is actually very simple.

Thanks to the popularity of the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament, the recent Huamei Exchange Tournament has attracted the attention of the entire network, and related derivatives of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" have received good responses.

Wangwang colleagues are all over the Internet.

Especially recently, many TV stations have even come to buy the rebroadcast rights of the first and second seasons of "The Prince of Tennis".

This is undoubtedly a very surprising thing for an old animation that has ended for many years.

After all, TV stations are representatives of no profit and no early success. If "The Prince of Tennis" is not popular enough, how could they come here to buy the rebroadcast rights after such a long time?
The popularity and success of "The Prince of Tennis" made the copyright operation department feel that maybe a boutique sports show is also a good choice?

Although in a short period of time, the income of such animations is not as good as that of "Digimon" and "Pokemon", but from the perspective of long-term development, the boutique sports fan should not be underestimated.

for example.

In another 20 years...

Maybe at that time, "Digimon" has been completely buried, no one mentioned it, and young people have forgotten it.

But "The Prince of Tennis" will not be forgotten. After all, whenever you talk about the sport of tennis, you will definitely think of "The Prince of Tennis", an animation work that was once very popular.

This is the long vitality of the boutique sports fan and its indelible and profound influence in this field.

Based on this consideration, the copyright operation department sincerely suggested to the company's senior management to launch another passionate sports series with mainstream sports as the carrier, similar to "The Prince of Tennis".

Gu Miao accepted this suggestion.

He really didn't expect this, but having said that, the vitality of the boutique sports series is indeed very long, if possible, it is absolutely possible to make another one.

The question is what to do?

Tennis has already been done, and football is the world's largest sport, but this subject is relatively popular, and animation works related to football emerge in endlessly.

"Maybe basketball is good?"

Gu Miao thought about it seriously, and felt that basketball might be a better choice besides football.

After all, there are not many audiences for basketball in China. It can even be said more exaggeratedly. There are more people playing basketball than football in China.

There are also many high-quality basketball-related animations, not to mention the pinnacle work "Slam Dunk", such as "Heizi's Basketball", "Slam Dunk Boy" and so on are excellent works that cannot be ignored.

oh yes...

There is also "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Victory in the Basket" which is relatively less famous but equally far-reaching in China!
Keke, don't laugh.

Although basketball-related animations are a bit abstract when it comes to Pleasant Goat, it is undeniable that "Basket Out of Victory" is also a masterpiece of basketball-themed animation.

"Basket out of the future...you can write it first, and you can do it in two years."

After signing "Future Out of the Basket" on the paper, Gu Miao looked a little hesitant, not knowing what to write next.

Ping-pong whirlwind?

Song Dynasty soccer player?

These are the national manga campaigns that were well known in the previous life. It is impossible to say that he is not interested.

It's just that he has a small mind.

Table tennis and football are not unpopular sports in China. Since he wants to play sports, why not promote unpopular sports?

But unpopular projects rarely produce animation works, let alone high-quality works!

Just as Gu Miao was deep in thought, hesitating whether to support unpopular projects or choose a high-quality masterpiece from popular projects, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

An unpopular sport, a masterpiece?
There are very few animation works that meet these two requirements, and it can be said that they are basically equal to none.

But then again, for sports themes, does mental exercise count as exercise?Are brain games considered games?

If it counts, it seems that chess games such as go and chess can also be included in the selection!
Especially Go...

Gu Miao still can't forget that the reason why she became so interested in Go at the beginning was because of a CCTV animation called "Go Boy".

And in the animation, Jiang Liuer, the young man with extraordinary talent, who holds chess like a sword, and plays the world in harmony, even gave him a little "Go" shock for Xiaobai!
what?
You said that Jiang Liu'er was just playing randomly, and his chess strength is not even as good as that of a certain Yingjiang?
fart!

Although Gu Miao doesn't understand Go, he also has the most basic sense of judgment. Not to mention anything else, just because the board and pieces glow when Jiang Liuer plays chess, he knows that the move is good.

Why is it so good?

Don't ask, just ask and it will shine!
This is the same as the dishes made by Xiaodangjia. Let’s not talk about whether they are delicious or not, at least they will shine, and this alone has crushed countless people.

Although it attracted a lot of complaints after it was broadcast, and there was even a classic saying that "Go Boys are good except Go", but it has to be admitted that "Go Boys" is indeed a Go enlightenment class for many children.

Others don't know, anyway, Gu Miao became interested in Go through "Go Boy", and later went to buy books to study.

Although the book was eaten up and he didn't learn it, but an animation can arouse children's interest in Go. Isn't this a success?

This is good!

The popularity of Go in China is indeed very low, and it is not even as good as Xiangqi backgammon. After all, the latter has a higher popularity rate and lower entry barriers.

Gu Miao, who was thinking more and more vigorously, immediately made a decision, his next new work was definitely "Go Boy".

In fact, there is also "Soul of Chess" available.

It's just that Gu Miao felt that since it was fulfilling his childhood dream and promoting Go, "Go Boy" was more suitable for him.

After all, the background and story of the soul of chess, if you want to make localization changes, the workload is really too much.Maybe it could be handed over to the Neon Division to make it, but he would definitely not be happy.

By the way.

Although "Go Boy" is a classic Go animation in Gu Miao's mind, its influence is extremely far-reaching.

But to be honest, the Go part of this animation is really... hard to describe!

The chess records chosen by the screenwriter and director cannot be said to be a pile of shit, but they are indeed rubbish and unrepresentative.

Otherwise, how could people say that Go boys are good at all but Go?
This must definitely be amended.

Gu Miao has already figured it out. If she wants to make the animation "Go Boy", she should first go to the Chess Academy to find a few world champion chess players as staff, and then carefully screen the game records to avoid making any low-level mistakes.

of course!

It should refer to reality, but "Go Boy" is an animation with a touch of fantasy and martial arts after all, and it is impossible for everything to be in line with reality.

Among other things, Jiang Liu'er is the protagonist, playing chess and playing dead is not too much, right?The soul of chess still has a grandfather with him, does Jiang Liuer deserve to be the protagonist of the animation if he doesn't open it?
　Go boy can be regarded as a relatively classic animation, I wonder if you have seen it?
