Chapter 44: The Miracle of Ten Days of Delivery

The nineties of the last century.

The neon animation industry, from the early "transformation + girl" to "magic + girl", has basically fixed the story setting of horse monkey shochu.

At this time, a manga called Sailor Moon was born. "A beautiful girl who fights evil forces in a gorgeous costume" is the core of the story, and a novel setting of "fighting beautiful girl" is thrown.

I have to say, it's so fascinating.

The beautiful girl with long blond hair, wearing a blue and white sailor suit, and shouting "I will destroy you on behalf of the moon" has not only become synonymous with the second dimension in the 90s, but also one of the most classic anime images in the "magical girl" theme.

can be compared, and there are only a few works such as "Magic Card Girl Sakura", "Magical Girl Madoka" and "Beautiful Girl of Light".

And once out of the neon ......

Placed all over the world, there are definitely many more viewers who know and have watched "Sailor Moon" than several other works.

This shows the amazing influence of the work "Sailor Moon".

As the first animation after Wanbao Animation entered Neon, not to mention anything else, at least in the area of fame, there must be no worries.

As for the difficulty of making......

It's all 2010, and an animation work from the 90s, even if it looked "godlike" back then, is not so exaggerated now.

After all, technology is always advancing.

This is also an important reason why Gu Miao chose "Sailor Moon", limited by the era, it is relatively simple to reproduce.

Of course, the difficulty is low ≠ the cost is low!

The average salary of a painter in the 90s must be a day and a day compared to today. Spend the same amount of money and want to do the same thing?

Are you thinking about fart?

Considering the particularity of "Sailor Moon", Gu Miao feels that no matter which one comes first, the corresponding production cycle will not be too short.

There should be no hope this year.

It may not be until the first half of next year, or the second half of next year, to see this work.

Until then......

The first task of the newly established Wanbao (Neon) division is to introduce the animation of "Thunder Speed Deng" and the comic book of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Lei Suden animation has been negotiated.

Through the animation broadcast of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", TBS gradually tasted the sweetness. In Ikeda's words: Since Gu Sang sincerely asked me to prostitute for nothing, then I will accept it with great mercy.

What a bargain!

Anyway, it's a white prostitute animation.,Take it back and change the dubbing subtitles to broadcast it.,Under the premise of such a low investment.,As long as someone watches it, you won't lose.。

And TBS's large-scale introduction of foreign animation, will it squeeze the viewership share of domestic animation, resulting in a situation where "bad money drives out good money"......

Come on!

They're capitalist! Haven't you heard the story of pouring milk into the river? Just make money yourself, who cares about the life and death of others?

Animations don't worry.

Even if the ratings and word-of-mouth hit the street after Lei Sudeng introduced neon, this is not a problem for Wanbao Animation and TBS.

Anyway, Uncle Gu sells toys, and TBS broadcasts white prostitution animation, and the loss-making business in the eyes of others is not a business of "making sure you don't lose money"?

What Gu Miao is really worried about is actually the release of the comic "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" written by Mr. "Nan Tong".

This is too abstract!

The production cycle of the first volume of comics, the bottom line given by the company is that it will be delivered in two months, as long as the first volume of comics is produced before the end of the year, he will be considered to have passed.

"Two months?"

"Look down on people, don't you? I'm a famous tentacle monster, just a comic, and it will take two months? ”

Teacher Nantong put aside this sentence and began a ten-day retreat with several comic assistants he had just recruited.

After the retreat.

Includes the entire 10 episodes of the plot of the TV animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", and the preprint of the first volume of the comic book with a thickness of 108 pages was really made by him.

Open hanging, huh?!

Far away in Neon, Gu Miao, who was running for the creator's meeting, received the news and didn't know what to say.

He'd never seen anything like it.

As far as he knows, even if the average cartoonist has an "assistant" to share the work pressure, it takes 5-6 hours to draw a page of comics, and about 15-20 pages of manuscript can be submitted a week.

What is the concept of 108 pages in 10 days?

It was enough to finish someone else's week's worth in one day, how could Gu Miao not be worried?

On the one hand, I am worried about Mr. Nantong's physical condition, and on the other hand, I am worried that the quality of the work will be poor due to the speed being too fast.

Fortunately.

The overall quality of the comics is not bad, and it is not to reduce the quality of painting in pursuit of efficiency, the reason why Nantong draws so fast is actually "staying up late and bursting the liver".

"It's good to be young!"

As soon as Gu Miao thought of his predecessor who died suddenly because of a liver explosion, he told Ma Kui over the phone that he must take good care of Teacher Nan Tong, but he couldn't let him fall.

You can't spoil your body!

It's hard to find a cartoonist, if he stays up all night and dies suddenly, and he doesn't even have a replacement, won't Wanbao Comics be sent?

Of course......

Mr. Nantong's practice of "Gu is always my father, and the company is my home" is still worthy of praise, at least let the people in the company feel the power of example.

"He is a candle that burns himself desperately just to light up the future of the company! He is a warrior who is not afraid of hardship......"

In the internal communication group of Wanbao Group, Gu Miao, in the name of the president's office, posted a small composition, trumpeting the touching deeds of Mr. Nan Tong's "ten-day delivery", and called on all employees to learn from him.

It's a show!

Although it is hypocritical and perfunctory, it is still quite effective when used once in a while.

For example, after Gu Miao's small essay was issued, the company group was suddenly swept by the expression of "teary eyes", and the cohesion rose sharply.

Well, it's fake......

Gu Miao did write a small essay and posted it in the company group, but he didn't see the reaction of the company's employees.

Because the meet-up began.

The meeting of the main creators of the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", hosted by TBS, was held in a hotel in Kyoto.

There are more than 300 anime fans from afar. Among them are parents with children, as well as anime lovers dressed in various cosplay costumes.

These are the core fans.

For them, the biggest surprise at the meeting of the main creators of the animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is undoubtedly the special chapter of "Eccentric World War" announced by Gu Miao.

By the way.

For this meeting, the production team prepared about 100 plush dolls of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" in advance as gifts for fans.

Gu Miao thought it was enough.

Who knew that the fans at the scene were too enthusiastic, and there were many people who came, and these 100 plush dolls were quickly distributed.

What about the rest?
