my animation era

Animations from another world with unknown origins suddenly became popular.

Neon viewers who have not yet experienced the baptism of scenes with various vulgar Internet titles, this is the first time they see the subject of a crooked son-in-law, and they really have a feeling of "can't stop".

How should I describe it...

It’s the kind of thing where you know the content is ridiculous, but somehow it’s so satisfying to watch. After watching an episode, you warn yourself not to watch it again, but you unconsciously control the mouse with your right hand to click to play the next episode.

Of course, the son-in-law is just a gimmick.

Aside from this vulgar plot, many viewers who settled down and watched seriously soon saw the unique side of animation.

The bloody start can't hide the fact that this is a high-quality lightly modified animation.

The customs and customs of a different world are portrayed in detail, and "stones" are used as currency. Only those with special talents can practice.

These unique features have made many viewers curious, which light novel is the original work of this animation?

That's weird!
Light novels that are qualified to be "animated" are generally well-known in the industry, and their sales are also very hot. There is no such thing as no one has read them.

This animation claims to be an adaptation of a light novel, but everyone has thought about it for a long time after watching it, and they have not thought of any light novel in the industry that matches the setting and plot of this animation.

Could it be that they are from abroad?
That's right!

Until now, no one has questioned the status of "Zui Son-in-law Immortal King" as a lightly modified animation. At most, they think this light novel is too mysterious, and they have never read it.

The audience had no doubts. On the one hand, it was because they did not understand the online text, and on the other hand, they did not think about it at all.

Until a few days ago, an international student from China watched this animation with the help of his classmates...

This Chinese student, who had already lived in Bengbu after watching the first episode, immediately said to his classmates: Do you want to read the original work?Don't look for it in the bookstore, go to the beep and read it!
At this point, the original novel of the son-in-law Immortal King was completely exposed, and the neon viewers who were kept in the dark learned that this "special" animation in another world was actually an online novel about cultivating immortals adapted by Wanbao.

Gu Miao expressed regret for this.

I thought I could hide it for a while longer, but I didn't know that I was recognized by the foreign students just at the beginning.

But it's not a big problem, if you recognize it, you will recognize it!The fame of the animation has already started, and the impact of being found out at the moment is not very big.

not to mention……

The fact that someone saw through the adaptation of the web text was actually expected by Gu Miao, after all, the "son-in-law eats the master" scene at the beginning of the animation is too familiar.

He talked to the original author.

At that time, he was very curious, why did "Son-in-law Three Years, I Stop Pretending to Be an Immortal King" write such a vulgar plot?
It is obviously a very serious novel about cultivating immortals, and the follow-up content setting is very compelling. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high-quality fairy tale web novel.

But at the beginning, there was a drama about the son-in-law, which made people feel extremely anxious and dissuaded many readers who should have been interested in this book.

So why is this?

Gu Miao still remembered that the original author gave him the reply: Only by writing in this way can the editor pay attention and get the chance to sign a contract with the website!
Yes, it's that simple.

Because the Crooked Mouth Dragon King was so popular at the time, online novels of the same type immediately became popular, and the original author also wanted to get a wave of traffic, so the opening was very explosive.

As for the title?

In fact, it can be regarded as a way to gain popularity. After all, to be honest, the title and content of the book of the son-in-law Immortal King have nothing to do with it.

Change the title of the book, change the beginning, this is a standard traditional Xianxia web novel.

Before deciding to make an animation adaptation, it wasn't just Gu Miao who wanted to change the name and the beginning, but Chen Hu also suggested that the "husband-in-law" at the beginning of the original work should be deleted, right?

But the original author has repeatedly stated that the beginning is his own choice, and even though it is inappropriate, he hopes that the production team will keep it.

"Then keep it!"

Gu Miao was right. Although this beginning was very explosive, it would probably be very gimmicked when it was made into an animation.

It's not that long anyway.

It's just that neither he nor Chen Hu expected that this son-in-law drama, which was considered a bloody blast in China, would actually work so well in the neon market.

"It can only be said that I have less knowledge!"

Gu Miao couldn't hold back her smile and said, "If you read more online articles, you won't feel anything new."

"It's true to say so, but I think the main reason is that the emotional setting is in place."

"Machismo is prevalent in Neon, and self-esteem is generally strong. The same son-in-law story can resonate with more people there." Chen Hu explained.

"makes sense."

Gu Miao nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Little days' self-esteem is indeed quite extreme, a little thing can be magnified infinitely."

This is probably why the first two episodes of The Son-in-law Fairy King are so popular in the neon market.

But then again.

Neon has already become popular. In the most important domestic market, can the son-in-law fairy king become popular as he wishes?

……

The animation "Roaming in the Animation World" is still being broadcast on the Wanbao video website, and its popularity is overwhelming, completely crushing the "Big Devil" of the same period.

But there is a problem.

The first season of "Roaming the Animation World" only has more than 20 episodes, while Penguin's "The Great Demon Lord" is a long novel with dozens of episodes.

The two animations adopt a serial update method, with one episode a day.

This also means that after "Roaming the Animation World" is over, "The Great Demon Lord" will continue to be serialized, and Wanbao's upcoming son-in-law Immortal King is not without rivals.

"Our goal has never been 20 billion views, but 200 billion..."

When "Xian Fan Lian" became popular all over the Internet, with a total broadcast volume exceeding 20 billion, and when the Son-in-law Immortal King project was officially established, Chen Hu once publicly said this.

Netizens remember it very clearly.

The son-in-law Immortal King, who claims to have 200 billion views, is highly anticipated. Everyone wants to see if this animation has the level of Chen Hu's boast.

A slap in the face for sure...

200 billion views, unless the data is modified in the background of the website, it will never be possible.

Netizens don’t expect Chen Hu to fulfill his goal and make an animation with a real 200 billion views.

What everyone is curious about is...

When the son-in-law Immortal King established the project, the target was the explosively popular "Xian Fan Lian". Now that the animation has been produced, is it of the same quality as "Xian Fan Lian"?

If it can't reach 200 billion views, netizens will play tricks at most, mocking Chen Hu for being so ambitious, but if it can't even reach the level of "Xianfanlian", then there will be a big problem.

To put it a little harder.

200 billion views is just a joke. Chen Hu himself doesn’t take it seriously. If he can’t reach it, he won’t reach it, and Gu Miao won’t blame him for it.

But beyond the performance of "Xianfanlian", it is necessary to guarantee a minimum of 20 billion views. This is not negotiable, otherwise even netizens will not let Chen Hu go.

how?

At the beginning, I tried to criticize "Xianfanlian" in various ways, but my own animation was not as good as "Xianfanlian"!

When thinking of this, although Chen Hu insisted that he was not under pressure, his heart was still very heavy.It's time to publicize, it's time to warm up.

Out of trust in Brother Fat Hu and not wanting to put too much pressure on him, Gu Miao didn't get involved too much in the Son-in-Law Immortal King project, and didn't even ask about the launch date.

Nothing to ask.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the son-in-law Immortal King must wait for the first season of "Roaming in the Animation World" to start broadcasting.

There are not many episodes left in Wandering the Animation World, and they will be finished in the next few days.

"The first season was a bit shorter."

Gu Miao, who watched the 20th episode of "Roaming the Animation World" in the office, held a toothpick in her mouth and said to Huang Kun, "There are only two worlds, and it's not enjoyable at all. Try to do more episodes in the second season."

"can!"

Huang Kun couldn't laugh or cry and said: "How about doubling the number in the second season and having four worlds?"

"Just barely."

"Speaking of which, the plan for the second season has already been written? What worlds does the plot include?" Gu Miao asked curiously.

"The theme of the second season is competition. Most of the worlds that the protagonist Xiao Wanbao traverses are competition animations."

"The planning plan tentatively includes the four dungeon worlds of "Prince of Tennis", "Rain Speed", "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Four Drivers Brothers", Huang Kun explained.

Competitive theme?

Hearing this, Gu Miao couldn't help but nodded: "Good idea! The dungeon world is all about competitive games, but since it's a competitive theme, why isn't there "Pokemon"?"

This is not reasonable.

If according to Huang Kun's classification, Prince of Tennis, Raid, and Yu-Gi-Oh are all classified as "competitive" animations, then "Pokémon" should also be included.

"Is such that……"

"We also planned to include "Pokémon" in the beginning, but after thinking about it, although the world of Pokémon has competitive confrontation, it is still an adventure animation in essence."

Huang Kun spread his hands and said, "So we plan to combine adventure-type animations such as Dragon Fighter, Light Envoy, Digimon and Pokémon in the third or fourth season."

Classified as adventure?
When Gu Miao heard about this division method, she was quite surprised at first. After all, Pokémon has competitions, so how can it be considered an adventure animation?
But when he thought about it carefully, the plot of Pokémon animation has always been to expand the "new map", encounter new opponents, and meet new partners.

From this perspective, it is not impossible to regard "Pokémon" as an adventure animation, juxtaposed with "Dragon Fighter" and "Light Envoy".

After all, these animations are all about upgrading monsters and changing new maps...

"All right!"

"I can understand without "Pokémon", but how can there be no "Go Boy" in the competition theme?" Gu Miao suggested.

"what?!"

Huang Kun was shocked: "Hasn't "Go Boy" not been aired yet? The animation that has not been aired, how can it be added to the copy list of "Roaming the World of Animation"?"

Gu Miao asked back: "But aren't we talking about the second season? The production of the second season hasn't started yet. When you finish it and broadcast it, won't "Go Boy" be over long ago?"

Huang Kun: "..."

broken!It’s time to grow your brain!

Mr. Gu's words almost burned his CPU dry. After finally turning his head around this corner, Huang Kun seemed to have thought of something.

"From what you mean, the Go boy is almost finished?"

"more or less."

Without admitting or denying, Gu Miao gave an ambiguous answer.

The production of the animation "Go Boy" has not been completely completed, after all, there are still many post-processes that have not been completed.

But the animation has moved into the post-production stage, and in a sense, it can be considered completed.

"Why so fast?"

Huang Kun couldn't understand, although Mr. Gu has always been known as a "fast shooter", is this too fast?
We are all one of the four brothers of Wanbao. Why are you so special?
"It's pretty fast..."

Gu Miao admitted this point, after all, even he himself did not expect that the production of "Go Boy" would be so smooth and fast.

Maybe this is also related to the fact that "Go Boy" doesn't have too many action scenes, it is mainly about playing chess and explaining the game.

Well known.

Animation action scenes are not easy to do, especially the bloody battle scenes of "Dragon Ball". Just the fighting storyboard is enough for ordinary people to learn for a lifetime.

And those action scenes that are not too intense, or even animations where the characters do not move all the way except the mouth, are much simpler.

It just so happens that "Go Boy" is such a trouble-free animation.

Chess plays the most part of the plot, and when playing chess, it seems that the workload is heavy, regardless of the angle of view of the camera.

There are actually many scenes that are repeated.

The main character, Jiang Liuer, plays chess, and usually gives a close-up close-up of the fingers, mainly a close-up of the index finger and middle finger clamping the chess piece.

Then give the chessboard a close-up.

The expression of the opponent is mixed in the middle, the close-up of the distant view from the perspective of passers-by, and the perspective of overlooking the chess game, and the game is over with one move.

Look complicated?

But many of the materials in it are common, and the pictures are repeated. There are only a few actions and background characters back and forth, and any fool knows that it is very troublesome.

The point is, it's not that Gu Miao deliberately cut corners.

The main Go animation, what else can you do if you don't do it?This has nothing to do with cutting corners. After all, playing Go is not about releasing Kamehae Qigong waves. How big a scene can it be?
Because of this, the production progress of "Go Boy" is very fast.

With a team of hundreds of people, it is not easy to produce such an animation.In contrast, even making "Yangcun Guardian" is more difficult than this.

After all, Yang Shou really has a big battle scene...

The take-off of the pre- and mid-stage production progress does not mean that the post-production can also maintain such a speed of advancement.

Many problems are only discovered in the post-production stage. Once the problem is serious, it needs to be reworked and overhauled, which will undoubtedly delay a lot of time.

of course!

The foundation of "Go Boy" is here, even if there are any major logic bugs that need to be reworked, it will not waste too much time.

Didn't you see Xiao Ke already left?

After the animation production was in the late stage and the game records had been sorted out and deduced, Xiao Ke applied to Gu Miao to resign.

According to him, there is another key competition at the end of September, and he is going to win his ninth championship trophy...

"That's fine, good luck!"

Xiao Ke was going to compete for the ninth crown, Gu Miao couldn't possibly stop him, but seeing Xiao Ke's high-spirited appearance, he was a little speechless.

They are all covered with red hair, their old age is unknown, and they still want to conquer the restricted area?
How about...Genting Champion consider it?
