Chapter Seventy-Three: The Lesser of Two Evils
Unlike neon.
Domestic TV stations do not have a schedule dedicated to the broadcast of "weekly" animations.
Not this tradition, to be exact!
Many people think that this is "Total Ju" behind the scenes, because of the audit, so there is no weekly animation/weekly TV series.
This argument is untenable.
If you have to be really determined to do weekly broadcasting, it's a big deal to shoot the whole episode first, and then broadcast "one episode a week" after passing the review!
The real reason......
In fact, it is very simple, the "drama watching habit" formed for decades is not so easy to break. The audience is accustomed to the daily broadcast mode, and you suddenly broadcast the whole week, who can accept this?
In a few weeks, the other animations are over, and you've only aired a few episodes, so you can't be sprayed to death by the audience?
The audience's deep-rooted habit of "chasing dramas every day" is not so easy to shake. At the beginning, "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of the Sky" broadcast by Shonan Satellite TV was very popular, but the ratings were barely about two points.
So Maqui was worried.
If "Sailor Moon" is introduced into China and broadcast according to the "weekly drama" model, will there really be an audience willing to "wait a week" to catch up?
"There is a ...... in this problem"
Gu Miao does not deny that weekly dramas are not popular in China, and viewers who are accustomed to chasing dramas every day may not have the patience of "waiting for one episode a week".
But he had already figured out a solution.
Since the weekly broadcast is unreliable and the audience can't accept it, then broadcast it daily! Not enough daily episodes? Then make it a "seasonal broadcast system"!
In simple terms.
After the neon version aired 12 episodes, the mid-edition version released 12 episodes "in one go". Then the 12 episodes end and wait for another 12 episodes to be broadcast in the next quarter.
Brother Xun said.
The temperament of Chinese people always likes to reconcile and compromise, for example, if you say, let's broadcast 12 episodes first, and then broadcast 12 episodes three months later, the audience is probably not allowed.
But if you advocate one episode a week, and it takes a year to catch up with the whole anime, they will agree to the plan of releasing 12 episodes at once.
What is it called?
The lesser of two evils!
Although it takes about the same amount of time to watch the entire anime, the feeling of watching 12 episodes in one sitting, is definitely completely different from the feeling of only being able to watch one episode a week.
Just right!
The preliminary translation work, including publicity and promotion, and the adjustment of the TV station's schedule will take time, and it will be almost February next year to finish these, and the number of episodes will definitely be 12 episodes.
Besides......
There is another hidden benefit of making the mid-dub version of "Sailor Moon" a seasonal broadcast, which is to avoid today's "strong" opponents.
"Sheep Games"!
……
The 125th Sheep Games, after the "selection of torch bearers", "passing the flame" and "opening ceremony", finally ushered in the main stage.
The first two competitions were "Football" and "Shooting".
The sheep "athletes" from various regions and countries gathered in the green grassland to start a fierce competition for medals.
There is one difference from the original.
The original version is "Olympic-themed", so the competitors come from different "continents".
For example, the Tibetan antelope team on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the antelope team in the African grassland, the goat team in the Western Regions, the argali-sheep team in the huge grassland, the mechanical sheep team and the black goat team with mysterious origins, and so on.
Among them, the Antelope is the key.
Because the Wanbao version of "Sheep and Sheep Games" is the "Asian Games theme", the original antelope team from the African savannah was naturally changed to come from the desert area.
As for the mechanical sheep......
Gu Miao had also hesitated before, should he let Dr. Cue, who appeared in "The Second Era of the Decisive Battle", appear in advance?
But then he thought about it carefully, and the setting of "mechanical sheep" from the future is not yet the time to fill the hole.
Can be mentioned!
But it's not time for Dr. Tick to appear on the stage, after all, his identity is related to the future direction of the plot. The audience just knows that the robot sheep comes from the future, so why care who the inventor is?
Speaking of which......
No matter from what point of view, the mechanical sheep is the absolute favorite of the "first in the medal table", and other sheep families are not the opponents of the mechanical sheep at all.
Anyway, the sheep team is hanging!
Under the aura of the protagonist, it is obviously a sheep team of "old, weak, sick and disabled", which can be compared with mechanical sheep.
This is not the most outrageous ......
The most abstract thing is that they all have the blessing of the "protagonist halo", and they are also shameless in engaging in "naturalized athletes". Is it fair that the warm sheep sheep have argali blood?
It doesn't make sense!
With the continuous popularity of the animation of "Sheep and Sheep Games", the ownership of the medals in the play has also caused controversy among many audiences.
The most controversial is the lazy sheep.
In the shooting competition, he relied on the assistance of the gray wolf and coincidentally broke into the final. In the diving competition, he won the championship by "sleeping in the water......
Some viewers were dissatisfied.
They think that the "funny" character of Lazy Sheep Sheep won the championship, which is purely a bad taste of the production team and an insult to other "sheep athletes".
There are also viewers who support lazy sheep.
Their reason is very simple, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is a "funny" animation in itself. In this kind of cartoon, discussing the rationality of a funny plot belongs to being full.
The two sides quarreled.
Even in the end, even Wanbao Animation was alarmed by them. The audience has asked the "Father of Pleasant Goat" to stand up and express his position, who is right and who is wrong?
"Ah......h
Gu Miao, who was supervising the dubbing work, was not good after receiving the news.
How can this also be opened to him?
As the father of the Pleasant Goat, how can he personally lead the rhythm? What's more, he has never participated in the animation production of "Sheep and Sheep Games", isn't the person he should be looking for Ma Kui?
"It's none of my business."
Facing Mr. Gu's question, Ma Kui waved his hand again and again: "I went to bed very early last night, I don't know about this matter, and I don't want to participate." ”
It's okay to pretend to be stupid.
In normal times, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this attitude. After all, the official can't go down and bring the rhythm of the characters in the play.
But this time......
Gu Miao smelled the crisis from it.
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a water army behind the scenes of public opinion against "lazy sheep" on the Internet.
"It's supposed to be a global anime!"
Ma Kui analyzed: "The viewership share of "Haibao Sent" has been suppressed a bit miserably, and it is not surprising that they resorted to this kind of trick. ”
Gu Miao nodded.
Compared with the "live-action film and television" circle, although the animation circle is quite clean, there is no shortage of similar "dirty" tricks. It's no surprise to splash dirty water on competitors, bring rhythm or something.
Don't think.
The people who engage in animation are all "saints", and they all look like they are indisputable.
In fact, as long as it comes to "profit", no matter what industry is not clean. For example...... Do you think that there are no "unspoken rules" in the second dimension?
Hehe!
