Chapter 32 Theme Song "Lightning Crossing the Line"

"Oh? Sell so fast? ”

Receiving Lao He's reply, Gu Miao was surprised. He didn't expect that before the Lei Sudeng animation was broadcast, the toys had already opened up sales.

The first batch of experimental Leisudeng remote-controlled racing cars were mass-produced in less than 50,000 units, and were sold to economically developed cities such as Jiangchuan, Zhonghai and Beijing.

I thought it was ......

There was no publicity in advance, and the "WB" brand, that is, Wanbao's reputation was not obvious, and this batch of remote control cars was estimated to be sold for half a month, or even a month.

Unexpectedly, it was sold out in a few days.

The reason is actually quite simple.

According to the feedback collected by Lao He, the remote control car-related products sold on the market generally have the shortcomings of "bulky" and "expensive".

Here's an example.

At present, the hottest remote control car in China comes from Yangcheng Lida Toy Company. The general size of the products is about 30-50CM, and the price is close to the 1000 yuan mark.

"It's too big, it's too expensive!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "The toy car is so big, is it trying to carry people?" And selling it so expensive, how many families can afford it? ”

Compared with.

The Thunder Speed series is much more accessible to the people.

Not only is the size controlled within 15CM, but also the price is low, and the most basic model can be bought for only 98 yuan.

Compact and low-cost.

And......

Run fast!

For these reasons, it's no surprise that children love this new type of remote-controlled car.

"Don't learn from Lida toys."

Gu Miao advised: "The Lei Sudeng series must be portable and cheap. It's okay to make a little less money from racing, accessories are our big deal. ”

Selling a car is a one-shot deal!

But the sale of spare parts, that is a long-term business, this piece is done well, and the money earned will not be less than selling cars.

Don't say much.

If a child buys a remote-controlled car, he has to drive out and walk around twice, right? As soon as this car starts, the tires must be worn, right?

Kiss!

Know about non-skid tires, sand tires, and track tires?

If the tires are worn, isn't the battery worn? Although the No. 5 battery can be used universally, how can the universal version have the "officially recommended" track version of the battery?

I put on the battery of the track version and am about to try it out with my friends to test the "blade overtaking" I have just learned, but where is the track?

What about the track assembly package?

After playing with a friend, I unfortunately lost. Driven by a competitive spirit, can't find a way to make the car go faster? More flexible steering?

You deserve the official brushless motor and steering lubricant! Buy now and get an extra "Cool Body Sticker"!

“……”

After listening to his introduction, Lao He said embarrassedly: "Mr. Gu, I understand what you said, but Wanbao Toys does not have a production line for accessories." ”

Wanbao was formerly known as Wanzhibao.

Wanzhibao, which started with plush dolls, has expanded a lot of product lines under the management of three generations of the Du family, but it has not reached the point of "doing everything".

There are so many categories of official accessories.

At most, a small portion can be produced, and the rest must be sourced externally.

"Procurement doesn't matter!"

Gu Miao didn't mind and said: "Buy other people's accessories and seal them in the packaging box of Wanbao toys, who dares to say that this is not an official product?" ”

Think a little bolder.

If the Thunder Speed series is really popular enough, then there is no need to purchase accessories.

When the time comes, directly sell the authorization to these parts factories, who bids high, who can become the "Lei Sudeng official certification" parts supplier.

What is it called?

Earn your money while standing!

……

It's just a trivial matter to distribute toys in advance, even if they sell well now, but the sales are not high after all.

If you want to open the market and make the Lei Su Deng series of remote control cars popular all over the country overnight, you have to watch the performance of the animation "Lei Su Deng Lightning Rush Line".

Can be animated......

As the chief director, Gu Miao is currently encountering an extremely difficult problem.

Theme song!

As the soul of the animation "Lightning Rush Line", the importance of its theme song "Lightning Rush Line" is self-evident.

"Flash come on, Flash come on!"

"Racers, come on, ...... fast"

Even after many years, the children of the past have grown up and gradually been smoothed out by life. But as soon as the prelude of this song sounds, they seem to return to their childhood, to that summer, to the racing track where sweat and enthusiasm are played.

Proper childhood memories!

As the theme song of an animation, it not only resounded all over the country that year, but also maintained 999+ comments in the music software many years later, "Lightning Crossing the Line" is not unsuccessful.

No doubt.

In addition to the play of the core male protagonist "remote control car", this theme song that ignited the whole country is also one of the heroes.

As for Lingfeng Lingyun......

Who are these two?

In Gu Miao's view, the plot can be changed, the characters can be changed, as long as the "remote control car" and "lightning line" are still there, this animation still has the potential to explode.

It was precisely because this theme song was so important that he had a hard time and didn't know what to do.

The score has already been picked up.

Fortunately, the melody of "Lightning Crossing the Line" is simple, the lyrics are even more straightforward and rough, and the difficulty of picking up the score is not as high as imagined.

But what about the singers?

The singing requirements of this song are different from the Pleasant Goat theme song "Don't Look at Me Just a Sheep", and it needs to be sung with a passionate feeling.

Gu Miao had already tried it herself.

Although his self-evaluation is "singing well" and "pleasant", the rest of the production team firmly disagrees, and would rather pay out of his own pocket than invite others to sing.

In their words.

The version sung by Mr. Gu himself is too infectious, and they are worried that the children's blood will boil after listening to it, and they will not be able to help but destroy the TV at home, causing a bad social impact.

"Okay! Then change people......"

Gu Miao, who was disliked, had no choice but to invite a professional singer to record the theme song of "Lightning Rushing Line".

Something interesting happened.

The singer who finally made the decision turned out to be the eldest cousin of the singer of "Don't Look at Me Just a Sheep", and the two are related.

And that's not all.

In addition to being a singer, these two have also worked part-time as voice actors, dubbing for many animations and movies.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Gu Miao, who was criticizing and educating sound engineers, suddenly lit up after hearing the news, as if she saw the possibility of "one salary doing two jobs".

So, he asked Ma Kui to lobby.

After selling miserably + winning over the relationship, and promising that there would be more "cooperation opportunities" in the future, the brother and sister readily agreed to Gu Miao's request.

They will be involved in the dubbing of the "Lightning Rush" anime and will not be paid.

This is a good man!

Gu Miao was moved, and immediately made a decision that the theme song of the animation in the future will definitely give priority to these two brothers and sisters.

If nothing else, save money!
