Chatted for a morning.

From the basic character setting, to the art design of the demon god's body, to the refinement of the plot, we talked about everything.

After making sure that nothing was missing, Gu Miao patted Nantong Sensei on the shoulder and handed over the comic production of "Dragon Fighter" to him.

First out of the manga, then out of the anime!

In the past, Wanbao did not have a comic department, and works like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" must have been animated first, and then comics for "reverse adaptation".

But now there is a comic department, so naturally you can "comics first", and animation is second!

Of course, the order doesn't matter.

Compared with "manga animation" and "animation comics", it is definitely the former that has the largest number. But here in Gu Miao, there is no difference between the two.

It's going to come out anyway, who comes first and who comes first?

The reason why the "Dragon Fighter" comic was released first and the animation production was not considered for the time being was actually because Gu Miao didn't have time.

The Chinese version of "Sailor Moon" and "Pig Man: Magic Pig Chronicle" are going to be broadcast.

In order to negotiate the schedule......

During this time, he was almost as busy as a spinning top. As soon as I hung up on TV A, I immediately had to call TV B again and ask them if they were interested.

He asked almost all of the dozens of large and small TV stations in China.

"Sailor Moon" is easy to say!

Although the price is not low, the first season only has 12 episodes, and rounding up is about equal to giving it away for nothing. Coupled with the gold-lettered signboard of "Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui", everyone is willing to introduce it.

But "Pig Man" suffered!

Because the quality of the 3D animation is very average, and the "pig head" modeling of the characters in the play is very abstract, there are very few TV stations willing to buy.

There are only two!

One is an old acquaintance flamingo cartoon, and the other is the more unpopular Qiongnan Children's Channel.

To be reasonable, this is a bit miserable.

The original "Pig Man 1" animation was first broadcast on "CCTV Kids", and the replay covered more than 400 TV stations across the country.

As a result, when I got to Wanbao, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother, and no one asked for the first round of broadcasting rights when they were half sold and half sent, why is this?

"Because the director is not me!"

Faced with Ma Kui's doubts, Gu Miao shook his head and explained: "When many TV stations heard that the director of "Pig Man" was Huang Kun, not me, they were not interested in it instantly. ”

Understandable.

Compared with the father of the Pleasant Goat, the king of thunder speed, and the driving force behind the fall of the star, Huang Kun, who is a small transparent in the industry and has no director's masterpiece for the time being, is definitely not very interested in the TV station.

Newcomers, means risk!

Unless there is really no choice, or the quality of the work is excellent, the average TV station will not easily consider new directors.

After all, it's real money!

A rookie director like Huang Kun is better, after all, there is "Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui" covering him, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, no matter what, there are one or two "provincial" TV stations to give face.

If you are a pure newcomer with no background, you will start with a provincial TV station? Stop dreaming!

County and municipal TV stations are enough!

Do you understand the gold content of the five words "Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui"? Without these five words, I'm afraid that even Flamingo Cartoon and Qiongnan Children's Channel would not consider "Pig Man".

It's hard to hear, but it's true.

Gu Miao was not very satisfied with this first-round broadcast arrangement, but she was helpless. After all, Huang Kun is not famous, and there are very few people who are willing to believe him.

Fortunately......

Among the two premiere platforms of "Pig Man 1", Qiongnan Children's Channel is really optimistic about this animation and gives the best schedule.

That's good news.

Although the national viewership share of Qiongnan Children's Channel is not high, it still has a good audience base in Qiongnan Province.

It doesn't matter if the starting point is bad!

The animation is no better than the TV series, highlighting a "tenacious vitality". As long as the follow-up performance is good, it is never a problem for replay ratings to be higher than the premiere.

……

A new week, Earth Day.

TBS broadcast the 14th episode of the anime "Sailor Moon" as usual, and the villain Jaedette regretfully withdrew, and the new villain Neflet who succeeded him appeared.

This is also one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Dark Kingdom!

There is a very interesting fact that the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark Kingdom, in the manga and "Sailor Moon Crystal", were all the guardians of the Earth Prince Andimio, that is, the Ground Guard.

It's just that after being reincarnated, he was brainwashed by the Dark Kingdom, and then he became the "Four Heavenly Kings".

However, Toei's original "Sailor Moon" anime adapted in the 90s did not use this setting.

When communicating with the animation production team, Gu Miao also considered whether to borrow some settings from the Crystal version and the comic version to make the animation more suitable for the original comics.

Later he gave up.

The Crystal version is indeed more in line with the original comics, and the plot setting is more restored, and it is also loved by many audiences.

But the old version is not useless either.

At least aside from the inexplicable relationship between Huo Yeli and the ground guard, as well as the "magic change" in the character's personality, the overall perception is actually not bad.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so popular back then!

Gu Miao has no prejudice against the Crystal version, and even thinks that this is a very high degree of restoration, except for the 3D transformation that is slightly inconsistent, and the painting is slightly collapsed, the others are very good.

But if you insist on saying that the Crystal version crushes the old version of the animation, he doesn't approve of it.

Radish and cabbage, each with its own love!

There are also highlights of the magic change.,Why do you have to make the animation.,It's the same as the comic version?

How do you say that......

Naoko Takeuchi is a comic book drawer, and she knows Sailor Moon with a hammer!

Well, that's ridicule.

The reason why he adhered to the "magic reform" route and refused to join the setting of the Crystal version and the original comic book was mainly because Gu Miao wanted to earn two money.

Let's do the "magic change" version first.

Go back and do the Crystal version.

One comic makes two animated series, which is equivalent to hiring two people at one salary, huh, it's very comfortable!

If you use the Crystal version setting, when you look back, the audience will find that the new version of the animation is no different from the old version, who will watch the new version?

Therefore, Gu Miao finally decided.

The Wanbao version of "Sailor Moon" can't learn from the Crystal version of the setting, but also "dissociates the relationship" as much as possible, and strives to make the differentiation more obvious.

In this way, when "Sailor Moon Crystal" is launched later, it will not be scolded by the audience for "changing skins" to cheat money. Because the plot setting, and even the painting style are different, how can it be called a change of skin?

By the way......

Regarding the crazy magic change of the old version of the "Sailor Moon" animation, the character plot is far from the original comic, and there is a rumor in the market for the reason why there are many "original" episodes.

Roughly speaking:

During the broadcast of the anime, there were some unpleasant disagreements between the original author, Naoko Takeuchi, the manga publishing house, and Toei Animation.

Because it took a long time to solve it, the production team was forced to do a lot of original plots and settings.

Of course, rumors are rumors after all.

Compared with the rumors that there is no real hammer, Gu Miao is more inclined to say that this kind of "transformation and monster-fighting" plot magic change is actually to cater to the tastes of children.
