Chapter Seventy-One: The Four Maggot Brothers

[Why is Gu Miao a maggot?

Before talking about this issue, we must first talk about how other animation directors are worse than Gu Miao.

First of all, they don't "make"!

Everyone has a work ethic and sees animation as a "great art". Even if the work is not loved by the world and the ratings are not satisfactory, it will not affect the artistic depth of the work.

"The audience can't understand it, that's the audience's problem, not mine!"

On the other hand, Gu Miao ......]

This is a recent popular remark, from a "Q&A" website.

At first, someone asked: The ratings of the animation produced by Gu Miao are so high, why is it not recognized by the industry, and even called it maggots?

And then there was this answer.

In fact, this is a kind of "anti-black" statement, and the main object of ridicule is the "unworthy of virtue", blaming the old-timers who are not good at this audience, not ridiculing Gu Miao.

But right......

is so dignified, who will be happy to be deducted with a "Gu maggot" hat?

Ma Kui agrees.

Just scold Mr. Gu, he didn't hear it. But he scolded and scolded, involved him as well, and gave them the nickname "Four Maggot Brothers" for the "Four Maggot Brothers"?

How ugly!

He Ma Kui is a tool man, taking the lowest wage to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and he has to be scolded the most? It's not fair!

In order to draw a clear line with Mr. Gu and break away from the "Four Maggot Brothers" combination, Ma Kui has been whitewashing himself on the Internet.

It's a pity......

Not long after his "solo flight" plan was implemented, he was recognized by the wise Mr. Gu and warned him: The four maggot brothers go together, whoever wants to quit the group is a dog!

"Then again......"

Gu Miao, who put on a painful mask for Ma Kui with her own hands, scratched her head and asked, "The four maggot brothers have you and me, as well as Huang Kun, it barely makes sense, but what's going on with Nantong?" ”

Not a field, right?

He and Ma Kui Huang Kun are "notorious" in the animation industry, and it is okay if they are not welcomed. But Nantong is a person in the comic circle, why was he also scolded?

"That's a question for himself."

Ma Kui explained: "Some time ago, when this person went to a comic salon event, he quarreled with other cartoonists. ”

Again, that's the same sentence.

Can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour!

Other cartoonists have worked hard to draw more than a dozen comics, and the sales volume is not as high as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

If the teacher "Nantong" is really talented, belongs to the top touch in the industry, and the quality of the work is so high that it explodes, then everyone will not be so sour.

But the question is......

Nan Tong is abstract on Nima, he majored in computing Ji in college, and he is not a cartoonist from a professional class at all. The quality of the work is average, all thanks to the popularity brought by "Pleasant Goat Animation".

Everyone else is dying of acid.

In this case, when he goes to a cartoonist's party, he always has to be pointed at and say a few cool words.

Nantong is a violent temper.

He wasn't used to these people, so he just got into trouble with them. It's hard to say whether there is a quarrel or not, anyway, the relationship is stiff, and his peers don't like him.

"That's ...... so"

After learning about what happened, Gu Miao thought about it seriously and felt that Teacher Nan Tong was also quite innocent.

The anime is hot, that's the anime!

Can't the manga sell well, and all the credit goes to the animation production team, right? He, the comic book author, is it too much to divide half of the military merit medal?

It's pure embarrassment!

However, Mr. Nantong's painting strength does have a little problem.

When negotiating the introduction of "Sailor Moon" animation into China, Gu Miao approached him and asked if he could "control" similar girl-themed comics.

"No, you can't."

Teacher Nan Tong told Gu Miao very frankly that he was not good at drawing this kind of "delicate pig girl" comics. Forced him to draw, the result can be a mess.

"This is a problem."

Ma Kui nodded and said, "Different cartoonists are good at creating different themes and painting styles. ”

"On the side of the comic company, there is also a need for more cartoonists who can control different themes or different painting styles."

"Hmmm! I know about it. ”

Gu Miao's index finger flexed slightly, knocked on the table and said, "For the manga version of Sailor Moon, I have asked Seto to find a suitable manga artist in Neon." ”

This problem is easy to solve.

After all, it's an anime first, and then a comic. With animation as a reference, the difficulty of creating manga is not as high as imagined.

What's more, neon is a comic powerhouse.

As long as Wanbao can afford the price, just a cartoonist, grab a handful.

Compared with the manga version, Gu Miao obviously attaches more importance to the overseas distribution of the animated version of "Sailor Moon".

That's a big deal!

Many people think that Sailor Moon is a fart, can there be Madoka, Sakura, Mitsumi and Naha classics? The antiques of the second generation of the nineties, let's lie back in the coffin quickly......

The person who can say such things can only prove that he is just a "frog at the bottom of the well".

"Magical Girl", that is, the horse monkey shochu animation series, neon is an absolute export power, producing many classic works.

Let's be honest......

There are many magical girl "classic" animations, and there are very few works that really have the effect of "breaking the circle". Most of the animations have not been able to get out of the small circle of "two-dimensional".

Kosakura Mitsumi is a half-step "breaking the circle".

American War, that is, "Sailor Moon", is a breakthrough work that truly breaks out of the "small circle" and lets the world know "magical girls".

This is not Gu Miao's embarrassment.

In fact, the influence of American War animation on a global scale can compete with the "Dragon Ball" series represented by neon animation.

Dragon Ball is still stronger.

But a girl's manga is already very good to be able to wrestle with a hot-blooded king like Dragon Ball! Even if it can't be compared in the end, no one will feel that the "American War" is pulling the crotch, right?

It's not just East Asia.

In Europe, America, Africa, South America and other regions, Sailor Moon was also the top animation at that time, and its popularity was so high that it exploded.

I heard that some people are said to ......

Around the mid-nineties, the famous Disney considered a remake of the animated "Sailor Moon" into a live-action movie.

The truth of this rumor is unknown.

But one thing is certain, that is, in the nineties, "Sailor Moon" was indeed a hot mess in Europe and the United States, and its popularity was not inferior to that of the current "superheroes".

To this day, there are still many people who are deeply obsessed with the "blonde onigiri head" and like to represent the moon to punish the bad guys of the sailor warrior.

That's why.

Gu Miaocai pays special attention to the overseas distribution of "Sailor Moon", especially in Europe, the United States and China, two important markets.

The European and American English versions are better.

The key is domestic, especially in the Chinese dubbing part, if you don't keep an eye on it, there will be jokes like "Lin Xiaotu" and "Moonlight Fairy" in the Taiwan version......

Isn't that dumbfounded?
