Chapter 23 Corporate Framework

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed.

In order to facilitate management, Gu Miao established Jiangchuan Wanbao Group, which has three subsidiaries: Wanbao Toys, Wanbao Animation and Wanbao Comics.

Wanbao is an abbreviation for "Wanzhibao".

Wanbao Toys, that is, Wanzhibao Toys acquired before. And Wanbao Animation is the name of Wolfsburg Animation after it was changed.

The original production team of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was incorporated into the Wolf Castle Studio under Wanbao Animation, and independently produced and operated the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series of animations.

Do this......

It is not only convenient to manage, but also conducive to the development of the company. In the future, when you make a new animation, you can set up another studio.

Similar three-tier architectures are common.

For example, Tencent Group has a subsidiary, Tencent Games. Under Tencent Games, there are independent studios such as TiMi and Photon.

Of course, the framework belongs to the framework.

Although the current Wanbao Group sounds quite large, in addition to the Wolfsburg studio, there is only one toy factory in the suburbs.

As for Manbao Comics?

It's a shell company!

Originally, Gu Miao planned to convert the TV animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" into comics, and then build a monthly magazine similar to "Bosom Friend" to test the comic market.

However, the review process is too long.

According to the news that Director Wang helped inquire, even if it is a green light all the way, it will take four months to get the results at the earliest.

Then wait slowly.

After adjusting the company's management structure, Gu Miao also carried out a round of promotions to his confidant.

For example, Ma Kui is now the vice president of Wanbao Group and the general manager of Wanbao Animation.

Known as "Vice President Ma"!

It sounds quite beautiful, but the actual work is still the same as before, and even the salary has not increased.

Huang Kun, the former assistant director and painting supervisor of the Pleasant Goat production team, was promoted to the content director of Wanbao Animation.

Although Director Huang's title is not as smooth as Ma Kui's "vice president", in fact, he is Gu Miao's most relied on confidant.

How to say that......

Although Ma Kui is an animation professional, his talent seems to be a little crooked. The animation is not very good, and the administrative management and patting the boss's ass are first-class masters.

If he doesn't get promoted, who does?

Compared with Ma Kui's "not doing his job", Huang Kun, as an animation director, is much more professional.

Gu Miao was very busy.

Although he has the title of "chief director", in fact, in addition to participating in animation production in the early stage, he basically did not interfere in the production team much in the later stage.

With the animation production of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" on the right track, he handed over many affairs to Huang Kun.

Let's put it mildly!

Without Huang Kun's conscientiousness and responsibility, there would be no today's popular "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animation, he is a veritable chief director.

Gu Miao was very optimistic about him.

When the production of Pleasant Goat animation came to an end, he planned to let Huang Kun lead the team to produce a separate animation and slowly cultivate a big director of the company.

Raise it!

It's kind of exciting to think about.

……

"Oh my God!!"

"[Pout] [Love]"

Gu Miao, who was instructing the original artist and asked him to draw the first version of the character image of 'Dashing Superman', suddenly received a chat message from Director Wang.

Pleasant Goat broke the record again!

Before the ratings broke through 10 points, it had already shaken the industry and amazed countless people. Now the record has risen again, and the highest rating of episode 211 has reached 15.01%!

Now, it's not just the animation circle.

Even the people next door who are engaged in live-action TV series and movies were stunned when they received this news, which is enough to see the amazing degree of this rating.

How outrageous is it?

In previous decades, this rating could squeeze into the top five of the overall TV program list and the first place in the animation category.

It can be said that this is the most watched and influential animation in ten years, if not one of them.

No wonder Director Wang was so excited.

"Calm."

Gu Miao replied: "This is where it goes!" Remember what I said? Pleasant Goat's viewing potential is far more than that. ”

15% is very high.

is still a little short of squeezing out the ratings potential. The original Pleasant Goat, but it almost surpassed the animation program of "Simulcast News".

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think that Pleasant Goat's ratings may continue to rise?" Director Wang asked incredulously.

How is this possible!

15% is such a staggering number, placed in the television circle, a proper ten-year hegemony. If it's higher than that, the viewership share has to be more than 80%, right?

At least eight out of ten TV ons are broadcasting Pleasant Goat?

That's outrageous.

It's not that he's timid, it's that he really doesn't believe that an animation can achieve such a high achievement. This is not the eighties and nineties when programs were scarce, but a new era of TV flooding and the rise of the Internet.

"Not a possibility, but a necessity."

Gu Miao knew what Director Wang was thinking, and explained to him: "The peak of Pleasant Goat's ratings should be after the broadcast of "Weird World War". ”

It's a bit hard to break through 20%.

But 17% and 18% can still be sought, after all, the quality of the special in the weird world is excellent, and the ratings can't be lower than now.

"Then here's the problem."

"It's almost October, are you done with the weird world? [Curious]"

Gu Miao: "......"

He also wants to finish it as soon as possible, but reality doesn't allow it!

"Weird World Wars" has a total of 60 episodes and nearly 1,000 minutes of film, which is a lot of work.

Compared with the first 280 episodes of the anime, episodes 281-340 of the Weird World Special have been greatly improved in terms of both the quality of the painting and the performance effect.

What does this mean?

On the premise that the quality of the animation is improved, the production progress is instantly stretched. Not to mention ten episodes a day, it's good to have two episodes a day.

Since mid-September, the first episode of the special, "Into the Weird World", a total of 40 episodes have been produced in 20 days.

The current plot is roughly that the gray wolf and the lambs returned to the green grassland, and because they were worried about the safety of Brother Chic and Dandan, the lambs decided to return to the stage of the underground world.

After that, it was the light props that were destroyed, and the dashing brother and Dandan were combined, and the incarnation of "dashing superman" tried to influence the black handsome, which unexpectedly created the ending of the "Big Big Wolf King".

Speaking of which......

As the core thread running through "Weird World Wars", the light prop is actually Nima's "shower"?

"Original motivation really knows how to play!"

After sighing once again at the strange brain circuits of original power, Gu Miao fell into deep thought.

How is a shower designed as a toy?

Compared with the main story, the various bizarre inventions of the gray wolf, there are not many props that appear in the special chapter of the weird world.

can be made into toys for sale, and there are also anion and cation balls, bright props, black handsome and dashing brother and eggs.

If the light prop is a shower, can it be made into a "water gun"?

It doesn't seem impossible.
