Chapter Fifty-Nine: Light Change, Comic Change, Game Change

"It's not that easy to recruit people."

After learning of Gu Miao's troubles, Jiang Keke sighed: "The notice for the recruitment of professional animation directors has been hanging on the official website and major job search websites for so long, and there are very few applicants. ”

It's all bastards!

The people who came to apply for jobs were almost all "indiscriminate" guys after screening.

There are fresh graduates.

As soon as he asked what his masterpieces were, he confidently showed off his animation, looking at his expression, he almost didn't engrave the word "talented" on his face.

But in fact, Gu Miao just glanced at the small animation, handed him 50 yuan for the journey, and begged for mercy: "Wanbao Temple is small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate your big Buddha!" ”

There are also "giants" in the industry.

Niu came to the interview angrily, opening and closing his mouth is full of various industry "insiders", a look at the masterpiece, yo ho! How long is it?

Take a closer look.

This is also a talent, a long list of masterpieces, in fact, all of them are "single episode titles". In fact, it's a masterpiece, and this work hasn't been reviewed......

After seeing all kinds of "cow ghosts, snake gods", Gu Miao has lost hope in recruiting animation directors.

"It's fine!"

"If you can't recruit people, let's focus on internal training first."

After waving her hand and signaling that she didn't have to take it to heart, Gu Miao said again: "That's right! I'll show you something. ”

As soon as the words were finished.

He took out a strange wand with a "golden crescent" on the top and a pink rod on the bottom from the drawer, and handed it to Jiang Keke.

"This is the Star and Moon Stick!"

"There are two exclusive wands for the sailor moon in Sailor Moon, this one has silver crystals, and the other one doesn't."

Gu Miao asked expectantly, "How is it?" Judge with a girl's eye? ”

"It's pretty good."

Looking at the Xingyue stick in his hand, Jiang Keke hesitated: "Girls should like it very much, but if it's a boy......

What's wrong with the boy?!

Chill the breath!

Gu Miao was not surprised that girls would like "Xingyue Stick". Because the design of this wand is already full of girlish hearts.

As for saying that boys don't like it?

Who cares?

Maybe there are a handful of boys who also have a pink girl's heart. But the proportion of such boys will definitely not be too high.

Gu Miao didn't count on them either.

From the original Xingyue Stick, to the follow-up peripheral derivatives such as the Sweetheart Moon Staff and the Spiral Star Moon Staff, the main consumer force was originally female fans.

There is no use for male fans!

What use are they other than contributing to a rating, liking to daydream, fantasizing that they are field guards, and can have a sweet and greasy love with Little Rabbit?

"Your analysis makes a lot of sense."

Retracting the physical sample of the first version of the Xingyue stick, Gu Miao patiently explained: ""Sailor Moon" is an attempt by a girl to animation, and judging from the results, this market has a lot to offer. ”

"Girly?"

Jiang Keke wondered: "Is this positioning accurate?" How did I hear that the audience of Sailor Moon is not low? ”

"It's not low."

"But no matter how many male viewers there are, it can't change the fact that this is a girl's animation." Gu Miao shook her head and said, "My idea is to use the broadcast of the animation to launch a comic work of the same name." ”

Anime and manga are not separated!

The neon comic market is very good, and the sales volume is also very high. Since "Sailor Moon" has an animation foundation, it is also common sense to launch a derivative comic "circle money".

Not to mention......

Gu Miao's move also hides another purpose. He wants to take the opportunity to get acquainted with the neon comic or light novel publishing industry, so that he can make some comic and light changes in the future.

Plan ahead and plan ahead.

Gu Miao now has the idea and energy to do a purely original animation that is "non-comic and non-light", but he can't be energetic all his life, right?

Once he is old, or he doesn't have the energy to participate in animation production, will Wanbao Animation not be able to come up with new animation projects except for the endless "sequel" fried cold rice?

It's scary to think about.

In order to avoid this kind of "Gu Miao dependence", Wanbao got involved in the light novel, comic and game industries, and it was only a matter of time before he embarked on the animation route of "light manga and game change".

And in this part of light adaptation, neon is indeed better than domestic development, and there are many works suitable for adapting animation.

Of course, the domestic is not bad.

Gu Miao observed that the domestic comic industry is indeed not very prosperous, and there are very few works suitable for buying and adapting animation.

But the online article is too top!

After so many years of development, the online literature industry has already accumulated a large number of excellent works. Covering a variety of genres, whether it's fantasy, Xianxia, fantasy, history, or sci-fi games, there is always a selection of works suitable for animation adaptation.

This is simply a treasure trove of natural "IP".

It's a pity that compared with neon light novels, one of the biggest problems with online texts is that the "length" is too long, and it is very difficult to adapt.

Light novels are also long?

You can't just look at the number of words, you have to look at the "effective content" with the same number of words!

The light novel has been written in a volume of 200,000 words, and the brave man is still "hanging out" in the novice village. In the fantasy online article, how many levels have the protagonists of these 200,000 words been promoted, and how many supporting roles have been slapped in the face?

It's just too long.

Millions of words of online text at every turn, fast-paced and dense plot, how many episodes of animation do you have to adapt completely? Cut out part of the plot, fans of the original book are not satisfied, and it is difficult to achieve the best of both worlds.

But no matter how difficult it is, there is a limit.

There are still many successful cases of online adaptation of animation. In a sense, as long as you find the right way, it is not so difficult to adapt the online text.

Of course, this is the plan for the future.

Whether it is a light change or a game change, you need to take great risks. Wanbao, whose family background is not thick enough, cannot bear the consequences of "adaptation failure" at present.

Don't forget!

"Haiwa" is still not cold!

"That's right......"

Thinking of Haiwa, Gu Miao suddenly thought of the advice he gave to Mr. Xiong, and asked curiously: "Is there any news of a new work coming out of Feiyang Animation?" ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Keke thought for a while and replied: "It seems to be the sequel to "Haiwa Brothers" of "Haiwa"! They seem to have taken the sponsorship of the home factory and plan to overturn Haiwa and remake it. ”

Home power plant, Haiwa brothers?

Gu Miao blinked, and couldn't help but think of a pair of brothers who were powerful in their childhood and liked to take risks everywhere without clothes.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

If it's really "Haier Brothers", wouldn't Feiyang Anime take off on the spot? You must know that this animation had good ratings back then!

Although the animation itself does not make money.

But Haier invested in making this animation, is that to make money? People are here to build a brand image!

Didn't find it......

When the first batch of fans of "Haier Brothers" grew up, the first brand that came to mind when buying home appliances was Haier?

People are making a lot of money, okay!
