Chapter 567 Dragon Ball's Response Is Mediocre? (seeking subscription)
What is Two-dimensional?
Gu Miao didn't know how to answer this question.Because even he himself can't figure out the true definition of "Two-dimensional".

Broadly speaking...

Two-dimensional, originally refers to "two-dimensional world".

Animation, comics, games and other works produced and presented by two-dimensional image technology, which are different from live-action film and television dramas and the virtual world of the real world, can be collectively referred to as "Two-dimensional".

Is 3D animation considered Two-dimensional?
broken!

If all ACGN works of "overhead fantasy" can be included in the category of "Two-dimensional", why don't everyone recognize the Two-dimensional attribute of some animations?

Wanbao Animation has been established for four years.

In the past four years, Gu Miao and animation directors of the Wanbao Department have produced many wonderful TV animations and animation films.

But...

In these years, the basic disk of Wanbao Animation has always been elementary school and middle school students. As for the so-called Two-dimensional lovers, they are not interested in Wanbao.

Why is this?

Could it be that the animation works produced by Wanbao have been expelled from the "Two-dimensional membership"?If it is admitted that these animations belong to Two-dimensional, why didn't they attract many Two-dimensional fans?

No joke.

So far, Wanbao Animation has only attracted a group of experienced Two-dimensional fans with "The Moon Is Beautiful", "The Three Sisters of the Southern Family" and "Sailor Moon".

As for other animations, they are more appealing to elementary school and middle school students...

The broadcast of the animation "Date A Live" made Gu Miao recognize this group of people.

What Two-dimensional?

It's nothing more than a bunch of dead houses who use the banner of Two-dimensional and only like to watch beautiful girls fulfill their fantasies.

He keeps saying that he likes Two-dimensional the most, as long as it is a paper figure, he loves it!If you show him "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Gourd Brothers", his expression will be as ugly as eating shit...

Such people are not rare.

Gu Miao is used to calling these people "pseudo-Two-dimensional" fans.

Because these people's love for Two-dimensional is too narrow.So all along, Wanbao Animation has not been able to earn their money, and Gu Miao has no chance to be their father-in-law.

Until "Date A Live" came out.

Through this animation, Wanbao Animation suddenly realized that what these people like is this tone?
Say no sooner!
I said earlier that you like this tune, so why is Wanbao staring at the elementary school students' lucky money and refusing to let go?

……

In terms of performance, the animation "Date A Live" is actually much inferior to the previous Wanbao TV animations.

But it can't hold back the surrounding sales!

Hand-made models, plush dolls, pajamas, pillows, and keychains... as long as they are related to animation characters, tens of thousands of copies can be sold casually.

This is ridiculously abstract!
Wanbao Toys, which tasted the sweetness of Two-dimensional for the first time, seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du overnight, and realized the recipe of "Steamed Goose Heart in Four Vessels".

Gu Miao was also quite surprised.

Among the two projects he left for the Wanbao (Neon) branch, he actually didn't have much hope for "Date A Live", but was more looking forward to the super-popular work "Dragon Ball".

After all, the two are not in the same order of magnitude.

The former is more of a niche carnival theme, and at most it will reap a wave of dead house favors.As for the latter, it is a real world-class anime IP.

In the end, he still underestimated the spending power of the dead houses.

There is so much to offer in this market!

At least "Date A Live" has proved that once the female character you created is popular, you can indeed sell a lot of hand-made accessories and make a lot of money.

Don't say anything else.

The animation "Date A Live" has only broadcast two episodes so far, and the only "spirit" character on the stage is Yatogami Tohka.

One character made Lao He so excited that he couldn't sleep, and there are many such characters in the animation...

take off!

Gu Miao immediately felt dizzy when she thought that characters such as Yoshino, Yawu Sisters, Yuyao Miku, Tokisaki Kurumi had not appeared yet.

Father-in-law, he is sure!

Even if the Buddha came today, he would have to ask, do you want a paper man wife?If you want, you can get a [-]% discount on the handicraft now.

of course!

Acknowledging the special appeal of the animation "Date A Live" to the dead house crowd does not mean that Gu Miao has changed her opinion.

In fact, among the two projects he left behind, he still pays more attention to and is more optimistic about the work "Dragon Ball".

Unfortunately……

The progress of the implementation of the "Dragon Ball" project has not been as smooth as expected.

According to Gu Miao's instructions, Seto first arranged for a manga artist to create a manga version of "Dragon Ball", and then considered the animation adaptation.

The manga has been serialized for two weeks.

What is speechless is that the manga has been serialized in the past two weeks, and the response has been mediocre. The popularity is not very high, and the survey questionnaire also shows that it is not liked by readers at all.

Received Wanbao's money, and deliberately gave up part of the page for the serialization of "Dragon Ball" comics. Some editors even publicly stated: "It is a shameful thing to serialize this kind of comics, because they still publish it when they know that no one will read it." ..."

to be frank.

When Gu Miao received the news, she almost thought she heard it wrong.

What international joke?This is the famous "Dragon Ball"!The manga series of Dragon Ball is not very popular?
But when he learned about the actual situation through Seto's description, he realized that it turned out to be true.

Because the protagonist is too ordinary.

The plot also tends to be bland and tasteless, making people unable to arouse the interest of watching, so the response after serialization is mediocre.

"it's okay no problem!"

"With the holding of the World's No. [-] Budokai, this situation will soon improve, and the popularity of the work will gradually rise."

Gu Miao thought it was not a big problem.

Dragon Ball itself is not the kind of manga that is full of gimmicks and makes people want to stop watching.

The world's first martial arts club!
This is the key step for the rise of "Dragon Ball" comics, and even the accumulation of popularity in the early stage, and finally to the altar.

Without this No. [-] Martial Arts Association in the world, it can be said that "Dragon Ball" has died a long time ago, and no one cares about it, and there will be no follow-up brilliant achievements.

So he is not in a hurry.

The success or failure of the manga version, and even the subsequent animation adaptation plan, all depend on the results of this "World's No. [-] Budokai".

Don't have to wait too long...

According to the plan, it is expected that the manga will be serialized to the most exciting moment in early April at the earliest.

Gu Miao couldn't believe it anymore. At that time, the popularity of "Dragon Ball" comics would be so low?
The milestone work of Hot Blood Wang Daoman is also a world-renowned work of the gods, and it is well-deserved as the number one IP of Japanese comics. That is no joke!

But then again.

The success of "Dragon Ball" in the previous life, the excellent "painting skills" of the original author Akira Toriyama did play a key role, especially the storytelling of fighting.

If you change a cartoonist, don't know how successful it will be?
