Chapter 610 The Counterattack of the Supporting Actors (Subscribe)

Since the year before last, around July every year, Wanbao Animation will hold a "Popular Star" voting activity.

Big Big Wolf from the anime "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" won the first championship!
In the second round, Usagi Tsukino from the anime "Sailor Moon" won the championship!
Compared with the excitement of the first session, the second session was relatively dull, and the smell of gunpowder was also much lighter.The total number of voters is not even half of the first term.

The popularity is completely incomparable with the "popular vote" in "Sailor Moon"!

Why is this?

Gu Miao carefully analyzed the reason, and finally he came to a conclusion.

The enthusiasm of the fans is too low, and there is no competition. This voting activity has no smell of gunpowder at all. How could it become lively?

Look at Sailor Moon's internal popularity polls, the fans of various Sailor Moon are pushing each other, and the competition is fierce.

Especially after the broadcast of "Sailor Moon S", the addition of two new characters, Tian Wangyao and Hai Wangman, has expanded this competition to the extent of "blood flowing into rivers".

Even Gu Miao was involved.

It can be seen from this that if we engage in this kind of popular voting activities, we can't make a group of harmony.Without quarreling, how could passers-by be interested in watching the excitement?

change!Must change!
The [-]rd [Wanbao·Popularity Star] voting activity must have the smell of gunpowder, and must make passers-by interested, and then come to watch the excitement.

But how to make the smell of gunpowder?
Gu Miao and Lao Zhang hid in the office, and after talking with each other, they quickly discussed a more "insidious" solution.

Improve rewards!

The [Wanbao·Popularity Star] voting activities in previous years were really fun. There is essentially no difference between the top-ranked characters and the bottom-ranked characters.

It's nothing more than fans talking about it: "My wife Xiaotu, that's the second Wanbao Popularity Star champion!"

"Really? Your wife is awesome!"

And then... it's gone!
This kind of reward for Tu Yile, it's no wonder fans are not interested, and the enthusiasm for participation is not high enough.

After all, the wives/husbands of the paper man can't get bonuses and trophies after all the fights, so why hurt the peace?
We can't do that this year, this year we have to raise the reward standard, at least we have to mobilize the enthusiasm of the fans.

But what kind of reward can mobilize the enthusiasm of these fans?

You know, this is an anime character!
No matter how high the prize money and honor standard you set up for the voting activities participated by Two-dimensional paper figures, it is meaningless, after all, there are thick barriers between Two-dimensional and three-dimensional.

"No bonuses, no trophies!"

"We will set up resource support. For example, whoever wins the championship, we will focus on this character and make a rumored animation theater version."

Gu Miao said enthusiastically: "The runner-up, the runner-up won't have a theatrical version, only two episodes of rumored TV animation."

"Third runner-up and third runner-up? For three or four, then give this anime character a specially customized badge, plush card and other peripheral gifts."

"Good good!"

Lao Zhang's eyes lit up and he said: "You still know what these fans want best! Once this trick is done, those fans will have to go crazy and vote for the list?"

"The worst person in Wanbao is none other than Mr. Gu!"

"How to speak?"

Gu Miao was very upset, she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm doing this for the benefit of fans, how dare you say that about me?"

"My mine, Sorry!"

Lao Zhang immediately apologized, and then said with a beaming smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu! If this set of punches continues, I can guarantee that this year's popularity star voting event will definitely be full of blood!"

More than a river of blood?
Gu Miao felt that when the majority of Wanbao fans learned about this reward standard, they would probably mobilize all the seven aunts and eight aunts to vote for their paper man wives/husbands.

Perhaps, this is love!

……

Facts have proved that Gu Miao was conservative.

Although he had fully anticipated the boundless enthusiasm that the fans would burst into after learning about this award standard.

But he still underestimated...

In order to win an "exclusive theatrical version" opportunity for his beloved anime character, how crazy can this group of dead houses be.

Eight in the morning.

Wanbao has just released the reward standard, and the voting channels and links on the official website will soon be unavailable.

Regardless of the mobile terminal or the web terminal, as long as you click on the link to visit Wanbao's official website, the error code "403 Forbidden" will appear on the screen.

That's right!

The official website crashed...

Because the number of simultaneous visits is too large, the official website server cannot handle it at all, so this error code is displayed.

sad!
After finally fixing the official website and re-opening the voting channel, within a few minutes, both parties collapsed again.

Now Gu Miao lives in Bengbu.

He admitted that his company's official website is really poorly done. After all, the average daily visits are not high, so it's enough to fool around.

But being overwhelmed by the number of visits so easily, this is not a crime of war!

It was finally solved, the problem about the tofu project on the official website.Gu Miao finally saw how enthusiastic the fans of each family were about voting.

No.1, Tokisaki Kurumi (Date A Live) 100034 votes!
No.2, Hui Yuanai (Detective Conan) 97410 votes!
No.3, Moon Hare...

After the official website returned to normal, the No.1 displayed is Tokisaki Kurumi who has recently become popular with the end of the "Date A Live" animation.

No.2 is a new character in the hit anime "Detective Conan". With the popularity of Conan, the popularity is also quite high.

These are not the point.

Gu Miao, who is a die-hard fan of Xiaotu, took it lightly on the fact that Xiaotu became an "outdated idol" and that the majestic Princess Moon couldn't even make it to the top two.

What's the point?
The point is that this voting channel has only been open for less than two hours, and the number of votes for No.1 has already exceeded 10 votes!

What is the concept?
Tsukino Usagi, who won the championship last year, won the championship with a total of just over 80 votes.

Nima!It's too bad!
Not only was the number of votes per capita skyrocketing, Gu Miao also saw another noteworthy detail in this provisional ranking list.

The supporting role is ahead of the main character!

That's right, in the top 50 of this newly refreshed list, the number of votes for supporting actors is generally higher than that of protagonists.

Let’s not talk about Kuang San and Xiao Ai. At the same time, Xiao Guoding from "Guobao Attack", Tiger King from "Dragon Fighter", and Haima from "Yu-Gi-Oh" are also on the list...

On the contrary, the protagonists got more and more votes, ranking at the bottom of the list.

This phenomenon is quite interesting.

Everyone is so active in voting for the supporting roles, probably because they think that the protagonists don’t have to worry. Anyway, sooner or later, there will be an animation and theatrical version, but the supporting roles are not necessarily the case.

If this opportunity is missed, these popular supporting actors may never have the opportunity of "exclusive theatrical version / spin-off animation"?

　Our village, which has not had a case in three years, has finally fallen...
