my animation era

Chapter 980 Beauty Discrimination?
Not long after New Year's Day, the first snow in winter fell in Jiangchuan, and the temperature suddenly dropped below zero.

This scene is rare.

Because Jiangchuan has not been so cold for a long time, even in the winter of previous years, the temperature is around 2-8 degrees, and it is rare to drop below zero.

It's not just Jiangchuan. This year, the temperature across the country has dropped compared with previous years, and some areas have even encountered severe cold weather that has not been seen in decades.

When the weather is cold, everyone's desire to go out is greatly reduced, and they prefer to stay at home, especially watching dramas with tablet phones under the covers.

This is undoubtedly a happy event for the "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang" animation that is currently on the air!
The animation is almost over.

Nangong Wentian took his younger sister Wenya and a group of companions to leave Jade Dragon Country for Jade Island Country. On the way, they experienced a series of incidents and defeated the demon soldiers and generals under Xuantian Evil Emperor...

In fact, the plot of Yudao Kingdom is a replica of Jade Dragon Kingdom as a whole, and there is almost nothing new.

This is different from "Super Beast Armor".

The first half and the second half of Super Beast Armor are completely different works, the development of the plot is unexpected, and the various reversals make the audience enjoy themselves.

Although the young general of Shenbing is also divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part and the lower part are relatively similar, and there are almost no surprises or reversals in the plot.

This is also the part that gets the most complaints from the audience and the most negative reviews...

"no way!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "I guessed it before the broadcast, the plot may become the most fatal shortcoming of "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang"."

Looking at the second half of the animation, except for Shadow Wentian and Shadow Sky Crystal Beast, which are at least half a surprise, the other plots are simply a repeat of the first half.

The audience can understand if they have opinions.

After all, with jewels like "Super Beast Armed" in front, everyone generally cannot accept such a mediocre plot arrangement.

But then again.

Shenbing Xiaojiang is not the kind of animation that focuses on the plot. The core selling point is "Shenbing" and character design. With this background, it doesn't matter if the plot is mediocre.

Anyway the kids loved it!

……

How much do children like the animation of "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang"?

In addition to the ratings and broadcast volume, the most intuitive evidence may be the sales of peripheral toys related to the animation "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang".

Take Wanbao Toys' most core single product, the PVC plastic material, the Celestial Sword that can emit light and sound as an example. During the half-month broadcast of the animation alone, 470 million pieces were madly sold.

This is scary!

You know, this plastic Tianjing sword has almost no technical content. It is purely a circuit board inside the plastic shell. Press it to light up, and press it again to send out "Sky Crystal Beast, transform into a magic soldier, Sky Crystal! Justice/Hope" /The Power of Friendship" is just dubbed lines.

Such a simple and rude thing, took advantage of the opportunity of the animation of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" to sell millions of copies in just half a month, which shows how popular it is.

As for the sticker posters and even the book cover stationery series of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang", they sold even more.

what is interesting……

In this series of peripheral derivatives of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang", Ximen Xiao is definitely the one who was hurt the most, because almost no children buy his derivatives.

The image is too ugly!
If Ah Xiao could be as handsome as Nangong Wentian, he probably wouldn't be disgusted by the children, but his image in the animation is really hard to describe.

Children don't like Ah Xiao?

This is impossible. As the protagonist in the group, who is more humorous and is responsible for regulating the active team atmosphere, the popularity of the role of Ah Xiao is quite good.

Just because I like his character doesn't mean I should buy his derivative products!
This is the same reason that after "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" became popular, although Warm Goat has a good popularity and fan base, derivative products cannot be sold.

It's okay to just watch the animation.

But when you go to buy toys, stickers, posters and other peripherals, will you put the more handsome and eye-catching Nangong Wentian instead of buying them, and buy Ximen Xiao specifically?
I'm afraid no one will do it!

This is not to say that everyone prefers handsome men and beautiful women, and ignores clowns.The main reason is to spend the same money, why not buy a character peripheral with a higher value?
It's not just Ximen Xiao.

In fact, in many animation works, the derivatives of clowns are very difficult to sell, and few manufacturers are willing to produce peripherals of clowns.

Animation may not be biased, but peripheral derivatives definitely have "face value discrimination"!
This has to be named warm sheep.

She is also a lamb from Yangcun, and she is also the squad leader. The character design is very good in all aspects, and the plot is also a good old man image. There are not many scenes, but there are not many roles...

Why can the beautiful sheep and boiling sheep have so many surroundings, but the surroundings of the warm sheep can be counted on one hand?

Isn't it because, in terms of animation image alone, she is not as good-looking as the lambs such as Beautiful Goat and Boiling Goat!

Ximen Xiao and Nuan Yangyang are both victims of the "face value discrimination" of anime characters.

But from an animation point of view, is there anything wrong with these two characters?No!Whether it is Ximen Xiao or Nuan Yang Yang, the characters are very likable.

Unfortunately, the surrounding areas cannot be sold...

Gu Miao felt very sorry for this weird phenomenon, because in his opinion, if one really likes an anime character, one shouldn't care about the character's appearance.

Those fans who say they like Ximen Xiao and Nuan Yang Yang, but choose other characters when buying peripherals, are not die-hard fans after all.

It's not easy being a clown!

Character designs like Ximen Xiao and Nuan Yangyang suffer from the image. Believe it or not, if you change their animation image, it will be different immediately?

for example!

Under the premise of keeping the background of the characters unchanged, let Nangong Wentian and Ximen Xiao exchange their character images, let Mei Yangyang and Nuan Yangyang exchange their character images, do you dare to imagine what kind of scene it is?

"Whether the children like it or not, and how ugly the sales data is, derivative products of characters like Ximen Xiao and Nuan Yangyang still have to be released, and we can't engage in discrimination based on appearance."

Gu Miao expressed her opinion: "For the same batch of products, you can produce a little less, but you can't produce them."

This is a matter of attitude.

how?The other characters have a peripheral, but Ximen Xiao and Nuan Yangyang don't have it. Isn't this discrimination?
If it is really difficult to sell, then produce less, but it must not be stopped because it is not easy to sell.

after all……

If there are really fans of characters like Nuan Yang Yang and Ximen Xiao, they will be very disappointed when they can't buy derivative products of their beloved characters with money.

Gu Miao herself likes characters like Ah Xiao and Nuan Yang Yang very much, so naturally Wan Bao is not allowed to have this kind of discrimination.
