Chapter 952 A must-see for children?

In addition to the animation dubbing in regional dialects, Mr. Qiu also brought another surprising news to Gu Miao.

That is, the animation "Bugs Bunny" was successfully selected into the list of [-] children's must-see animations selected by the national radio and television management department, along with "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Infested", "Digimon", "Dragon Fighter" , "The Messenger of Light" and a series of animations produced by Wanbao.

you can say it this way……

Among the first batch of officially announced list of [-] must-watch animations for children, animation IPs under Wanbao accounted for a quarter.

Basically all the works that should be selected were selected, except for some special animations that were not selected, 80% of the works of Wanbao Animation were selected.

What is a special animation?
In fact, it is easy to understand that animations such as "Tom and Mouse" are not on the list, and are not even among the candidates.

As for the reason for not being selected, it is not because these animations are not classic enough, nor exciting enough. The main reason is that the animations included in the list have a rigid requirement, that is, the production company must be a Huaguo enterprise registered in Huaguo.

For animations such as "Tom and Jerry", "Sailor Moon" and "Dragon Ball", although the copyright belongs to Wanbao, and the animations are also produced and distributed by Wanbao's subsidiaries, Wanbao's North American branch and Neon branch are not in China. Domestic registration.

This is embarrassing!

Even if everyone knows that Wanbao Animation [Neon] Branch and Wanbao Animation [North America] Branch are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Wanbao Group, these two companies are actually domestic enterprises.

But the official rigid standards don’t care about this. As long as it is a company registered and established abroad, its works will be excluded, and it will not be included in this must-see list at all.

If you can't get in, you can't get in.

Although animation works that enter this list will receive relatively high social attention and policy support, which can be regarded as a good honor, but this is not a necessity.

Animations such as Tom and Jerry and Dragon Ball are already full of honors. Even if this honor is missing, it will not be affected in any way, and the audience who should watch it will still watch it.

However, some unpopular animations that are not well-known, and few people even know their names, need to be included in this list to increase their popularity.

Does Wanbao have such an animation?
The answer is yes!
Most of the animations produced by Wanbao Animation's puppet studio are not well-known. Even "Avanti's Story", which was very popular back then, few people remember now.

There is also "The Devil Soldiers of Maoer Mountain", as an unpopular cartoon with an anti-Japanese theme, its performance was very mediocre when it was broadcast, and no one mentioned it after so long.

It is definitely a good thing that animations like these that have been forgotten, or that have not broadcast outstanding results, can be included in the list.

It's quite normal that Bugs Bunny can be selected.

Compared with this, the selection of "Hell Girl" is even more surprising and unbelievable.

Gu Miao's jaw dropped in shock.

"real or fake?"

It is absolutely reasonable to say that other animations can be selected. With the quality of completion and artistic attainment of these animation works of Wanbao, it is strange that they were not selected.

But the selection of the animation "Hell Girl" seems very unscientific!
After all, when it was broadcast, the animation "Hell Girl" caused great controversy on the Internet, and its plot was more or less adult, so it was not suitable for children to watch.

Such a work, the official actually thinks it is a "must-see for children"?
……

Not long ago, Gu Miao learned that an animation called "Bingguo" was broadcasting on Neon through Mr. Xiong's channel.

After finding out the contact information of the producer, he immediately asked Seto to contact the other party, hoping to bring the team under his command.If you can't buy it, then buy out the copyright of "Bingguo" IP, or poach the team.

Gu Miao's idea is very simple.

Since this studio named Kyoani can produce "Bingguo", it means that they are not simple. There must be great talents in the team, and he has always attached great importance to talents.

As the imperial envoy, Seto contacted Kyoani Studio on behalf of Wanbao. After a period of negotiation and exchange, a breakthrough was finally made.

According to Seto.

There are three founders of Kyoani, two of whom are in favor of Wanbao's acquisition and merger plan, but one is stubborn and does not trust Wanbao's guarantee and commitment. Seto has made a lot of efforts to persuade him.

The founder who resisted Wanbao’s acquisition was mainly worried that after Kyoani Studio was acquired by Wanbao Animation, they would not be able to do whatever animation they wanted.

This is also the disadvantage of large enterprises!
Wanbao is a world-renowned animation company. It is certainly a joyful thing to be invited by such an enterprise.

But everything has two sides.

Backed by a big tree, you can enjoy the shade, and you can eat and drink without worrying about joining Wanbao, and you don’t have to worry about production budgets in the future, but working in such a large company will greatly restrict your freedom.

It used to be a small workshop, although your pockets are cleaner than your face, and you get sponsorship and investment for an animation. Life is difficult, but the advantage is that you can do whatever you want, and no one will care about you if you are responsible for your own profits and losses.

It will be different from now on.

If Kyoani really joins Wanbao and becomes an animation studio under the [Neon] branch of Wanbao, will there be an extra person in charge?
When you do animation in the future, can you still do whatever you want?Will the company's senior management intervene in the production of the project and dictate their work?

This is a problem that the founder is more worried about, and it is also the biggest obstacle for Wanbao to acquire Kyoani studio.

In order to solve this problem and dispel the concerns of the founder, Seto made a guarantee, clearly stating that after Kyoani Studio joins Wanbao, its independence will not be affected, and the company's senior management will not interfere with their project production at will.

With the unremitting efforts of Seto, the die-hard founder finally agreed to the proposal of Kyoani Studio to be merged into Wanbao Animation collectively.

However, after the merger, the founder asked to retain 5% of Kyoani studio shares. Seto dared not agree to this condition easily, so he called Gu Miao.

"Promise him."

Gu Miao didn't really care about the mere 5% of the shares.

Even if he knew that the 5% shares might be very valuable in the future, he didn't feel distressed.

Because Seto told him that the founder who insisted on retaining the independence of Kyoani was the supervisor and script of the animation "Ice Fruit".

Good guy!
This is the talent Gu Miao needs!
Reluctant to leave the child with a wolf, Kyoani Studio is the painstaking effort of others. It is acceptable to leave him a 5% stake and tie him firmly to the chariot of Wanbao.
