Chapter 60: Audience Evaluation

"The Dark Kingdom のevil 悪な witch and beautiful girl 戦士セーラームーン head-on collision is coming~! What kind of secrets are hidden in the mysterious soothsayers and the students who have changed their temperaments......"

"Stay tuned for six o'clock tonight, Sailor Moon Episode 2: Wake up! The divination shop is a demon house! ”

"Warrior of love and justice, sailor moon ginseng!"

The narration of the second reply is very enthusiastic.

But Gu Miao always felt ......

Is this kind of blood in the wrong place? Listening to the voice-over without looking at the screen, he thought he was watching "One Piece" or "Naruto".

It can only be said that it is worthy of neon!

They can always read out all kinds of shameful middle and second lines seriously, which makes people wonder, are we watching the same animation?

Probably this is the cultural difference.

Compared with this painful "second reply", what is more worthy of his attention is the ratings of the second episode.

Up two more points!

Without a doubt, this is definitely good news. The ratings of the second episode have risen sharply, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Sailor Moon" definitely has the potential to "dominate the screen" in the new episode.

Why Potential? Not strength?

Because, of course......

Among the anime that started broadcasting in December, there is also a "mecha" theme work adapted from the comic of the same name, and the ratings are also very high.

According to Seto.

The animation, called "Mecha High School Student", adapted from Neon's most popular serial comic of the year, has attracted a large number of fans before it even started.

The starting point is different.

"Sailor Moon", as a non-adaptation and non-sequel of original animation, has only aired two episodes, why did it erase such a big gap in the early stage?

But......

Leading for a while does not mean leading forever.

Judging from the performance of the first two episodes, the anime "Sailor Moon" has huge ratings potential and rave reviews from the audience, but what is lacking now is just the accumulation of time.

Because I can't read neon text.

Therefore, the audience's "word-of-mouth" is basically Seto collected the evaluation of the drama and sorted it into a work email and sent it to Gu Miao.

Seto is quite reliable.

He didn't report good news but not bad news in order to please Gu Miao. In addition to the positive reviews that were praised, the emails also contained some negative reviews.

The proportion of negative reviews is not high.

Most of them are empty words that "have nothing to say", picking bones in eggs, pure and embarrassing, and not worth paying attention to.

However, in the positive evaluation, there were remarks that surprised Gu Miao.

"Anime heroes on TV are finally no longer limited to male characters! Girls can also use their own power to slay demons and protect the people around them......"

"Compared to those princesses who are sick and will only wait stupidly for the prince to save them when they encounter difficulties, the little rabbit is really amazing!"

"Who says women are weak?"

It is not difficult to see that these comments are basically from female audiences, and their praise for "Sailor Moon" also made Gu Miao smell a hint of "feminism".

Don't think ......

Neon "machismo" is prevalent, men make money to support their families, and women cook and bring babies to become mainstream values, and women's rights will not be born.

In fact, that's the old calendar.

Since the bursting of the neon bubble economy, many women have come out of the family and started to work in the society, and with the increase of personal income, the social status has long been different from before.

Fortunately!

Compared with Naoko Takeuchi's original manga, the old version of the "Sailor Moon" animation not only added a lot of Mary Sue elements, but also added timid and nonsensical elements to the character of the protagonist, and many deep feminist "ideological cores" were not reflected.

Otherwise, Gu Miao will have to worry about whether public opinion will be so "friendly" after the animation is broadcast.

It's not that the original manga is bad.

It's just that you can't take too big a step in one go, and you can directly engage in "Sailor Moon Crystal", which is close to the original manga, which may backfire.

After all...... He is not Naoko Takeuchi.

Naoko Takeuchi is a woman, or a native of the "neon man", she wants to change the status quo that women are weak in anime works, and the audience can understand and accept it.

But Gu Miao is a foreigner......

It's embarrassing.

As a crooked nut, talking about such a "sensitive" topic as women's rights on someone else's territory can easily arouse suspicion and even rejection.

A proper minefield.

So Gu Miao is full of caution about this, whether it is a negative evaluation or a positive evaluation, he asks the production team not to respond.

Just do the animation honestly.

As for how the audience will interpret this work, that is the audience's business, and the production team can't control it and can't care about it.

……

The 35th Golden Finch Awards ceremony was held as scheduled, and Gu Miao took the stage to receive the "Best TV Animation of the Year" trophy amid applause.

It can only be said that it is well deserved.

Looking back on the past year, in the TV animation program, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was completely crushed all the way.

Until now, Pleasant Goat, which has been replayed several times, can still cut the highest ratings of more than 10 points. Such an amazing performance made the entire industry silent.

It's outrageous!

More than a month has passed since the end of the first round of broadcasting of Pleasant Goat.

Originally, everyone was gearing up and offering their new works one after another, ready to seize the viewership share vacated by Pleasant Goat, and make a big splash before the end of the year.

Outcome......

It's all gone!

It's okay to be pressed and beaten by the Pleasant Goat broadcast in the first round, even the second round, or even the third round of replay Pleasant Goat can be pressed and beaten by them, how can this be played?

No gaming experience, report!

Not to mention the scolding peers, at this award ceremony, Gu Miao also met an "old acquaintance".

"Mr. Du?!"

The moment she saw Du Hao, Gu Miao asked in surprise, "Aren't you making a movie?" Why did you come too? ”

"Drop by."

Du Hao waved his hand and said, "Also, don't call me Mr. Du, call me Director Du!" ”

Okay, Mr. Du!

It's rare to meet an acquaintance, or a fellow Jiangchuan villager, after the award ceremony, Gu Miao warmly invited Du Hao to dinner.

Unfortunately, it was rejected.

It's not that Du Hao doesn't give face, but he made appointments with a few distribution companies at night to discuss some things about film distribution, and he couldn't get away at all.

"So fast?"

After seeing Du Hao leave, Gu Miao took out her mobile phone and searched for reports about the movie "Starfall" on the Internet.

"Domestic sci-fi masterpiece!"

"Ten years of sharpening a sword, cutting-edge directors will open the era of domestic sci-fi blockbusters......"

There are a lot of miscellaneous reports.

Most of them were embarrassing blows from the editor of the self-media, Gu Miao glanced at it and quickly captured a key piece of information.

"New Year's Day" is released!

It's mid-December, less than two months before the Lunar New Year. And if he's not mistaken, "Starfall" seems to have started in October.

Ah......h

Four or five months, a sci-fi blockbuster?
