Chapter 968 The first person to eat crabs
There are more than Supermen.

To be more precise, the Superman series sold by Wheeler is actually a collection of superhero IPs including Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

Yes, collectively...

In this parallel world, the superheroes of the classic Justice League, such as Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Wonder Woman, are actually vassals of Superman, and no one thought of stripping them all out.

This also gave Gu Miao a chance.

Since there is no concept of "Justice League" in this parallel world, he will be the one who eats crabs and implants the classic superhero assembly setting into the "Superman" series.

"Pity!"

When mentioning the assembly of superheroes, Gu Miao immediately thought of the Avengers, who were once popular all over the world and were more famous than the Justice League.

Marvel comics!

Most of the superheroes that Chinese people are most familiar with come from Marvel Comics, which later became the Marvel Universe.

On the contrary, it is the Justice League. Except for the popularity of Superman and Batman, other characters, such as The Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, are actually not as famous as the superheroes of Marvel.

Of course, this refers to the country of Hua.

I don’t discuss the situation abroad, at least in the Huaguo market, DC superheroes are not as popular as Marvel superheroes, even if it is the well-received "Batman The Dark Knight", people who have seen it may not necessarily have a few reunions many.

Therefore.

Gu Miao was a little disappointed that the object of the leak was the Justice League, not the Avengers.

It's not that the Justice League is inferior to the Avengers, mainly because in his opinion, the superheroes of the Avengers are obviously more appetizing to domestic audiences.

The Justice League is good, but if there is a choice, he will still choose the more well-known and more commercial Avengers.

There is no way, we need to have a meal!
But that's the end of the matter, and there's no point in regretting it.Spending 2.5 million U.S. dollars to pick up a prototype of the Justice League is already a lot of money, and there is no need to ask for more.

Moreover……

The Justice League is not bad either, at least in North America, it is not a big problem to beat the current industry giant, that is, Mardete Comics.

When it comes to Mardete Company, Gu Miao is very angry.

That greedy old man George, who made fun of him as a fool in several conversations, has not recognized the reality until now, and still thinks that he can handle Wanbao.

It's time to wake him up.

Nantong stays in North America. Apart from sorting out the copyright handover of the "Superman" series, the most important thing is to attract a group of frustrated North American cartoonists to establish Wanbao Comics (North America) branch.

At the beginning of its establishment, this branch aimed at No.1 in the North American comics industry, that is, Mardete.

The weapons that Gu Miao prepared for them were the Justice League comic series such as "Batman", "The Flash" and "Green Lantern" which were stripped from the "Superman" series and produced independently.

This kind of luxurious lineup is more than enough to solve a Mardete company.

Gu Miao really couldn't think of the possibility that Wanbao Comics, which holds the copyrights of superhero comics such as Batman, Green Lantern, and The Flash, would lose to Mardete in the competition.

unless……

Old man George has hidden a big trick, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain North America, who are also famous superhero comic characters!

But is it possible?

……

The rework of the "Superman" series, including the production of the 96 version of Superman animation, is still in the planning and drafting stage, and it may not be effective until next year.

But the hit animation "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" doesn't need to wait that long. Less than a week after it started broadcasting, the results have already exploded.

Not only did it top the ratings and broadcast volume for the same period, but it also gained a good reputation across the Internet.

There are many friends around Gu Miao, including some practitioners in the animation and comics industry, who have also expressed their love for "Shen Bing Xiaojiang", and praises are endless.

Even Liu Zida, known as Wanbao's number one black fan, praised the production and plot of the animation "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" many times in private chats.

of course!

The persona created by Liu Zida is after all a "Wanbao black fan", so at most he would say this kind of thing in private, and he still needs to make a few sharp comments when he actually releases the video.

From the perspective of a black fan, he pointed out many shortcomings and deficiencies of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang". Although it is for the purpose of establishing a character, there are suspicions of embarrassment, but some places are indeed very reasonable.

Therefore, Gu Miao attached great importance to his opinion.

As the saying goes, a true master will always have the heart of an apprentice!It's not terrible to be pointed out by others, but what's terrible is that you don't even have the courage to face up to your shortcomings.

Gu Miao felt that Liu Zida's ability to find out the bones in the egg was very good, so she humbly asked him for advice, hoping to get some suggestions on the follow-up improvement of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" from the black fan leader.

But obviously, he overestimated Liu Zida too much.

This compelling video is purely hype, and the video copywriting is mostly on paper. If he really wants to give any reliable advice to the production team, it's better to expect a sow to climb a tree!
However, talking on paper also has the advantage of talking on paper, that is, the brain is so open that sometimes even Gu Miao is surprised.

For example, during the conversation, Liu Zida proposed to Gu Miao about making a native 2K or 4K hand-painted 2D animation.

This Temeow is speaking human language?

When Gu Miao saw this line of words, without thinking about it, she directly blocked Liu Zida, and she no longer wanted to continue chatting with him.

Can't talk!

4K hand-drawn animation, without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, there is no such suggestion at all.

Does Wanbao have this strength?Of course there is, and all conditions are met in terms of capital and manpower. As long as you want to do it, you can definitely do it.

But the problem is...

What is the point of making this kind of animation that purely challenges the pinnacle of hand-painting?

4K is too far away for ordinary viewers.The ordinary 1080P resolution, Gu Miao felt that it was already very good, sometimes even 720P was enough.

You can do it, but you don't have to!

Gu Miao dismissed this proposal at first, until Liu Zida said that no one in China had tried this before, and his attitude changed instantly.

No precedent?

Does that mean that as long as Wanbao can make it, regardless of whether it looks good or not, it can at least occupy this high ground in advance and win the title of "the first domestically produced true 4K animation"?

"The first person to land on the moon and Mars will be written into the history books for future generations to look up to. Wanbao is already very strong, why not challenge the peak?"

Gu Miao admitted that he was moved.

Wanbao is really not short of money or people now, so he is very concerned about this kind of false fame. After all, if this is successful, it will be a work that can be included in animation textbooks.
