my animation era

Perhaps due to a bad start, in the following days, Wanbao Animation and CCTV Children's Channel stepped up their promotion efforts.

The ratings of the animation "Go Boy" have also improved significantly compared to the first broadcast.

But these are not decisive factors.

The real key to "Go Boy" achieving leapfrog growth in ratings lies in Jiang Liu'er's character change in the plot.

Some netizens commented that one of the main reasons why he initially rejected the "Go Boy" animation was that he hated Jiang Liu'er and felt that the protagonist was too disdainful.

This netizen’s statement received likes and support from many people.

When the animation "Go Boy" first aired, there were indeed many passersby viewers who couldn't stand the young master's temper of "Jiang Liu'er" and questioned why Wanbao created such a protagonist?
It can be said……

The ratings of the first few episodes failed to rise, which is inseparable from the portrayal of the protagonist Jiang Liu'er.

After all, it is an animation directed by Gu Sanshui himself. It is impossible to say that everyone is not looking forward to it or curious about it, but after it started airing, I saw that the protagonist looked like this?

This is too discouraging to the audience!
This is just like the popular Two-dimensional different world anime "Jobless X" in the previous life. There is no denying that it is excellent, but the image of the protagonist at the beginning of the story will dissuade many people.

The low ratings in the first few episodes of "Go Boy" were also due to Jiang Liuer's unflattering character portrayal.

But as Gu Miao said, the so-called trough will soon pass, and spring is coming!
In the latest episode of the animation "Go Boy", Jiang Liu'er suddenly experienced a drastic change and became an orphan from a rich young master overnight, bearing a blood feud.

This drastic change brought about a major change in Jiang Liuer's character.

His personality used to be really unpleasant, but after such a drastic change, Jiang Liu'er has changed and turned into a real anime protagonist.

It was also from this moment on that Jiang Liuer gradually realized his Go talent, blossomed in the chess world, and the animation plot also entered the fast lane.

The audience also began to increase.

Some previous controversies about Jiang Liuer disappeared with the change of plot.Audiences who previously criticized Jiang Liuer for his poor portrayal and disgusting character have gradually recognized this "Go boy".

Isn't this getting better!

Gu Miao and CCTV Children's Channel breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the ratings of the "Go Boy" animation were finally on the rise, and word-of-mouth and praise were also picking up.

But one wave has not settled, and another wave has arisen.

The animation "Go Boy" is getting better. It has successfully overcome the haze when it first aired and has the potential to become a hit.

But on the other hand, the Son-in-law Fairy King online animation serialized on the Wanbao Video website has encountered the most serious crisis since its launch.

In the latest episode of the plot, the protagonist Xiao Fan did not hesitate to expose his identity and secrets in order to save people, but was bitten by the person he saved and almost died...

It stands to reason that after something like this happens, according to the standard morality of the male protagonist of the Internet novel, Yaizi must retaliate, and he must be dealt with with a heavy blow against someone who repays kindness with hatred.

But this plot is a bit unexpected. The woman who bites the protagonist Xiao Fan turns out to be from the fairy world, and was an admirer of Xiao Fan in her previous life.

So Xiao Fan put aside his hatred and chose to let her go without pursuing her to repay kindness with revenge.

As soon as this episode was aired, it quickly sparked a frenzy of discussion in the comment area.

Some people think that the protagonist Xiao Fan is too virginal and does not kill decisively at all. This plot is disgusting and they say they should give up watching it.

Some people defended the protagonist, saying that this was done to take into account the relationship between the past life. The protagonist recognized the other party, but the other party did not recognize the protagonist, and it was reasonable to let her go.

Generally speaking, the opinion that Xiao Fan is too much like the Holy Mother has the absolute upper hand.

This plot was in the original work, and it caused great controversy at the time. Many people thought that the animation would not adapt this section, but unexpectedly it was added in.

Even fans of the original work find it disgusting, let alone casual viewers who have never read the original novel.

Because of this, with the broadcast of these two episodes of the animation, the reputation of the Immortal King has dropped a lot.

……

"It's actually not difficult to understand."

"Most of the readers who like to read online novels, such as the subject of Son-in-law and Immortal King, are male, and they are still young teenagers."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "For them, this kind of plot is really disgusting, because it goes against their basic understanding that the male protagonist of Shuangwen must kill decisively."

"I know, so when I decided to adapt this plot, I guessed that this would happen."

Chen Hu's expression was a little solemn.

He expected that the audience would resist this plot, but what he didn't expect was that the audience's resistance would be so violent.

If I had known earlier I wouldn't have added it.

Although this plot is related to the protagonist's major opportunity to return to the fairy world, it is not impossible to delete it. It is nothing more than an original plot.

"Fortunately, the main target of criticism at the moment is still the original author of the novel, and the animation production team is not too sticky."

Chen Hu said happily: "If this plot was an original animation and the original novel was not written, I can't even imagine the consequences..."

"really!"

Gu Miao deeply agreed.

Fortunately, it is the plot of the original novel. If the animation production team had created an original version, Chen Hu's family tree would have been scolded by the audience.

The firepower is concentrated on the original novel, which is certainly a good thing, but it inevitably has an impact on the animation.

In order to eliminate this influence and reduce everyone's resistance to this plot, Gu Miao thought it was best to call the original author to explain it to the audience.

It’s okay to make up an explanation now.

It must be able to justify itself and allow everyone to accept that the existence of this plot is of great significance and is not just made up by the original author.

By the way.

In fact, the people who are scolding the most harshly and questioning the nature of the protagonist, the Virgin, are mostly just passers-by who have never read the original novel.

Fans of the original novel can forget about a few scoldings. After all, everyone who has read the original novel knows that this woman will be of great use later and cannot be killed now.

So the main purpose of calling out the original author now is to explain to those viewers who have not read the original novel the reason why this woman was not killed.

"No, I won't go..."

Gu Miao and Chen Hu had a good idea, but no one expected that the original author of the novel was frightened to death when he heard that he was going to face the audience directly, and refused to come forward to explain to the audience.

In his words, the whole Internet is now criticizing him and he is already under great psychological pressure. If he is allowed to show his face now, what if he is killed offline?
Ah this...

Although this guy was very afraid of death, when Gu Miao and Chen Hu thought about it carefully, it seemed that his worries were not wrong.

The original author of the novel has been criticized so much now. What if his true information and appearance are exposed, and extreme black fans come to cause trouble?
"Let's do this... Wear a hood, use AI to match the voice, not reveal any real information, and use a pseudonym for introduction!"

Gu Miao suggested: "There should be no risk if you appear on camera like this, and you don't have to worry about being truthful by black fans offline."

After much talk, the original author of the novel agreed to appear on the scene, and cooperated with Wanbao Animation and Wanbao Video to record a side video that was half a highlight reel and half a clarification.

The original author of the novel came forward to explain, explained the creative background of this plot, and also answered some selected questions from the audience. The storm finally subsided.certainly!

The online violence against this author has not stopped. On the contrary, the intensity of the online violence has become more intense because of this explanation.

As for the reason...

"My dear author, will the protagonist have a harem in the end? When it comes to stock trading, which heroine do you like more?"

"Housewife? What are you thinking! The protagonist was the Immortal King in his previous life, and finally broke through to the realm of chaos. What woman is worthy of him?"

"I advise you not to speculate in stocks. The protagonist will be single for the rest of his life. There is no way there will be a female protagonist..."

This author is too honest.

He was so irritating when he spoke, and he was so proud of it, that the viewers who watched this video were half-infuriated. If it weren't for the screen, everyone would have wanted to take off his hood, so they went up to Bang Bang to teach him how to behave.

In other animations, they all want to hide the suspense until the end, so that everyone can become more involved in stock trading and guess which heroine will be the winner in the end.

It turned out that it was good to have a son-in-law, the Immortal King, and the author directly told everyone: Stock trading?It’s very difficult!I didn’t arrange for a female protagonist. Are you surprised or surprised?
"To be fair, this guy is really cheap."

Gu Miao also watched this video where the original author of the novel comes face to face with the animation audience. After watching it, he had only one feeling.

This guy is so mean, I should have known better not to put a hood on him.

privacy protection?

No need!An author like this who is a bitch to the core should be severely exposed and then dragged into an alley by righteous fans and whipped.

He was not unjust at all when he was scolded.

Any author of a novel would probably not admit that his plot was filled with water, but he was better off directly admitting that the plots that were not adapted in the animation were all filled with water in the novel.

no……

Are you too sincere?

Although he is telling the truth, how come these words are so hateful when they come from you, the original author, and combined with the smug tone?

"Forget it, I won't adapt this guy's novels anymore."

Gu Miao sighed and said: "The project of Son-in-law Immortal King made me realize the reality that just because a good book can be written, it does not mean that the author is reliable."

"Yes."

Chen Hu felt the same way and said, "Even if this guy writes another magical book in the future, I won't be able to adapt it and cooperate with him."

How come you, the original author of the novel, are causing trouble all day long and causing chaos to the animation production team?

Wanbao is really unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Look at others!

Penguin adapted the novel "The Great Demon Lord", and the original author directly expressed: Satisfied!The effect of the animated adaptation was beyond my expectations, and I highly recommend everyone to check it out!

Wanbao adapted Son-in-law Fairy King, but this guy complained on Weibo: Why did you delete so many plots?It makes me feel embarrassed when you do this, after all, the deleted scenes are all the plots I added.

Very meow!
If he didn't think the impact was bad, Gu Miao would have arranged for a killer to kill this guy.

It saves him from ruining things all day long and saying crazy things that make the audience angry and cause trouble for the animation production team.

It's a bit speechless to say...

Although the author of the Son-in-law Fairy King is very unreliable, he is indeed the only website master under Bibi Reading that can do well.

That's right!

Wanbao has invested hundreds of millions in the field of online literature, and has cultivated such a valuable author.

As for the others, it seems even more difficult to take action. Penguin still has room for choice, but Wanbao Animation is better. It is the only one that can be adapted.

It's really heartbreaking.

Considering this embarrassing situation, Gu Miao learned from the pain and said: "Next year, we will increase investment in the field of online literature. If it doesn't work, we will flex our muscles in the field of American comics."

"All in all, I don't want to see this guy again."

Adapting web articles into animations is really a worry for Wanbao. Gu Miao has already made plans to try her best to give it another try next year.

It would be best to incubate a few more IPs.

If this fails to incubate valuable web IP, the company will have no choice but to invest heavily in the American comic market and compete differentiatedly with Penguin on new tracks.

American comics are really good.

But the only bargaining chips Gu Miao had were the Justice League, a few superheroes, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The future is not very bright!
……

The Wanbao version of "Superman" restarts the animation project and is jointly produced by the North American branch and Jiangchuan headquarters.

This is a project that Gu Miao has always paid close attention to and invested a lot of resources and funds into. It is also a blockbuster SS-level masterpiece that he personally nominated and a key part of the plan to reduce the feudal lordship.

so far.

Wanbao Animation has invested more than 2000 million US dollars in the project of restarting the animation of "Superman".

Doesn’t sound like a lot?
But don’t forget, this is just a TV animation, not a Hollywood animated movie.

The US$2000 million investment was mostly spent on Superman's new image design and foreign aid. For this reason, the North American branch also hired a number of well-known Hollywood animation studios.

Salary costs are indeed high in North America.

On this point, no matter how arrogant Gu Miao is, he has to admit that the average hourly wage of animation practitioners in North America is almost 3-5 times that in China.

This alone is very expensive.

Not to mention, foreign animation generally attaches great importance to the position of "screenwriter", which is also different from domestic animation.

Taking the animated reboot of "Superman" as an example, the hourly wages of the three core screenwriters, Frank, Harry and Hudson, are almost the same as those of the animation director and art director.

Of course, this should be the case.

After all, there must be excellent screenwriters first, and then there can be excellent animated stories!If you are reluctant to spend money on this aspect, the quality of the story will naturally not be much better.

Although in Gu Miao's opinion, the plot of the Wanbao version of the "Superman" animation is still a Hollywood assembly-line hero story, this does not affect the audience's love.

To put it bluntly, wild boars cannot eat fine chaff!
This set of assembly line hero stories may not seem very sophisticated, but it is indeed popular in the global market. If the audience likes this set, there is no need for Wanbao to go against the audience.

for example.

You think cod and tuna are delicious, but people only like to eat potato curry, so what are you going to do?Insist on better ingredients, or comply with your customers’ wishes?
