my animation era

The animation "Sailor Moon" has always been the golden signboard of Wanbao Animation (Neon) branch, and its status is equivalent to the Pleasant Goat series of Jiangchuan headquarters.

Therefore.

It is impossible for the Neon Division to give up this series unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if they bite the bullet, they must launch a sequel for the US war.

After the end of American War S, because "Super Sailor Moon" and new characters have increased the popularity of the series, the Neon Division wanted to continue the glory of S, so they planned the sequel SR.

obviously……

Seto's so-called SR is actually the original SuperS, but it has been changed to a more artistic name.

For this point, Gu Miao expressed her understanding, whether it is SR or SS, as long as the core content is done well, the title is not important at all.

not to mention.

The audience is very smart, they don't care what the subtitle is called, anyway they are collectively referred to as "Sailor Moon".

This is the same as the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested" series. Obviously, each season of animation has its own subtitle, but the audience will always remember the main title of Pleasant Goat and Bear Infested.

"By the way, what about Guangmei?"

Ma Kui seemed to like Pretty Cure more, and he paid special attention to the sequel of this animation, so he asked, "Will there be a second season this year?"

"No way, the Neon branch is on a rotation system. Last year it was Guangmei, this year it is the US war, and next year there will be a second season of Guangmei."

After Gu Miao finished explaining, she suddenly thought of something, frowned and said, "That's not right! Guangmei and Meizhan have a sequel in rotation, so what about the appointment? Where is my favorite harem king?"

Think carefully.

It has been a long time since the first season of "Date A Live" aired. Why did the harem-themed works that were so popular at the beginning suddenly have no follow-up?
This is not scientific!

When "Date A Live" was broadcast, it couldn't be said that it was popular all over the Internet, at least it was also popular in the Two-dimensional circle for a while.

Several heroines in the animation have become otaku wives, and their handicrafts are sold out...

This kind of animation does not have a sequel, it is a bit unreasonable. After all, there are many people in Wanbao animation who like to fight and like the elf characters in it.

Why on earth?

Gu Miao couldn't figure it out, so she decided to go back to Seto and ask, how did he plan for this IP?Why was it so prosperous at the beginning, but now there is no follow-up?

As for now, no time.

Ma Kui went to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, so he came to look for Gu Miao, so he naturally asked for something.

But this time the problem he encountered was more difficult. Even Gu Miao, who had been through battles for a long time, felt a headache for a while.

……

Lu Meng, the famous general of the Wu Kingdom who crossed the river and defeated Guan Yu in white, was only in his 40s from his fortune to his death. Why does he look like a vicissitudes old man in the animation?

Deng Ai, the famous general of the Wei State who smuggled into Yinping and destroyed the Shu Han, was already a veteran in his 60s when he conquered Shu. Why was he so young in the animation?
This is the doubt and puzzlement given by the representative sent by CCTV after watching the general sample material of the animation.

Not only that, but he also pointed out a fatal shortcoming of animation, that is, the ending is too hasty.

The 50th episode of the animation, Prime Minister Zhuge, starred in Wuzhangyuan, and the 52nd episode saw the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin. There are too many omitted content in the animation, which makes people a little confused and dissatisfied, and there is a slight suspicion of unfinished.

"Change it!"

Gu Miao frowned and said, "Fortunately, I discovered it earlier, otherwise it would be a joke if I broadcast it directly."

"It's nothing to change the character image, but the omitted part of the ending, do you really want to continue to finish it?"

"Mr. Gu, I'm telling you the truth. The reason why the ending was so hasty is also the plan that Koizumi and I have seriously discussed."

Ma Kui frowned and said: "At this point, we have no money. If we complete the omitted part of the plot, it will increase a lot of expenses and workload."

No money?
When Gu Miao heard this, she was surprised and said, "Didn't I allocate [-] million for you? Don't tell me, the [-] million has already been spent?"

"There are a few million left."

Ma Kui shook his head and said: "This is an animation that the leaders pay attention to. How can I save money? By now, the [-] million yuan has already been spent."

No wonder...

No wonder the plot of the 50th episode of the animation is still Zhuge Liang's star falling into Wuzhangyuan. As a result, only two episodes later, in the 52nd episode, the Three Kingdoms Return to Jin finale.

It turned out that it wasn't that I didn't want to do it, but that the budget couldn't bear it, so I had to reluctantly omit some unnecessary plots.

Additional investment?
Gu Miao was a little hesitant, because although this animation has the support of CCTV, it can be broadcast directly on CCTV, but they only give it a platform, and there is no guarantee that the animation will definitely pay back.

Blindly increasing investment and losing money later, no one will share the loss for Wanbao.

Don't overwhelm Gu Miao with the righteousness of the nation, or the empty talk of the four great classics. If you really want the animation to be good, why don't you pay for it?

Not paying a penny, but they are screaming fiercely, anyway, it's not your own money, right?

"I'll give you another 2000 million."

Gu Miao gritted her teeth and said, "I really can't increase it. If it continues, the company's cash flow will be unbearable, and it will be difficult to recover the cost."

Gu Miao was willing to pay the 2000 million because of the leader's face.Otherwise, with his style of doing things, it's enough to make it like this.

"Shouldn't it be counted?"

Ma Kui said with some embarrassment: "I wouldn't persuade you to switch to other animations, and even want you to bleed a little more, but this is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" after all..."

Other animations can be earned back through derivative peripherals, such as "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" and "Super Beast Armed Forces".

But what money can the animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" earn?

Let’s not talk about whether anyone will buy derivative peripherals. The key is the IP peripherals of the Three Kingdoms. If you can sell them, others can’t?

Therefore, this animation is destined to earn less than a few dollars. It can only get some blood from TV stations and video websites by selling broadcasting rights.

Because of this, Ma Kui advised Mr. Gu not to invest more.

It's not worth it!

The animation is actually very good, it can be called a high-quality product in all aspects, and the ending is a bit rushed, which is also flawed.

"No, do it to the extreme."

Gu Miao said with a firm expression: "Anyway, it's the IP of the Four Great Masterpieces. It can't be destroyed in our hands, even if there are flaws."

There was something he didn't dare to say.

That is the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I don't know how many gods are staring at it.

In the eyes of these people, a little bit of flaw may be magnified infinitely, leading to a bad impression of Wanbao, and even thinking that Wanbao is not professional enough.

This will not work!

Gu Miao also wanted to bid for the follow-up "Journey to the West" animation through the work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

Three Kingdoms Animation has many minor problems. It is said that the Japanese company couldn’t stand it anymore and went bankrupt not long after finishing the animation...
