Neon, Kyoto.

At the Manho (Neon) branch, Seto is using a portable Internet video conferencing system to report to the president on his latest work plan.

"Hi Yi!"

"The anime "Sailor Moon" has started a second round of reruns in many countries and regions."

Seto explained, "TBS has been asking me when exactly when I started working on the second season of Sailor Moon?"

Is TBS in such a hurry?

There's no need!

The first season of the animation has just ended, so it is reasonable to take a break, sort out your thoughts, and think about the second season next year, how can it be so fast?

Gu Miao couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Has anything happened to TBS recently?" Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Something did happen

Seto gave Gu Miao a brief introduction to some of the things that happened to TBS TV recently.

The situation is not complicated.

Mainly the TBS animation production department, the two "lightly modified" self-made animations launched with great ambition this year have all suffered serious losses

This also caused a ripple effect.

The failure of one animation can be said to be an accident, but the failure of two animations in a row is not only an accident, but there may be a deeper reason.

All in all.

The failure of two hit titles in a row has put a lot of pressure on TBS.

After all, after the end of "Sailor Moon", the new work encountered Waterloo again, and if you don't do something, the audience will all be lost to ANB and other TV stations.

may be because of this, TBS will urge Wanbao to come up with the second season of "Sailor Moon" as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army.

But this thing

It's useless to urge!

The second season of the anime "Sailor Moon", which is also the rumored "Sailor Moon R", has not been filmed yet, let alone started production.

Isn't that embarrassing!

Although everyone likes to call Gu Miao and Wanbao "high-yielding sows", he is not a real sow.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if he is really a sow, then he has to breed first and then give birth, right?

"TBS is under a lot of pressure, ratings continue to slump, and it is said that many advertisers have taken down their ads one after another

Remove ads?

Has it come to this point?

Generally speaking, unless the ratings of a TV station are really low to the point that it is unacceptably low, advertisers will not easily enable the "withdraw" clause to stop the loss.

After all, popular advertising spaces are generally paid by the second, and if the ads are withdrawn, the advertisers themselves will suffer huge losses.

Gu Miao was suddenly a little curious.

What did TBS do to make the audience so disappointed, and even a large number of advertisers "running away"?

That's a rarity!

In his impression, it seems that a similar situation has occurred in the eight sets of CCTV in China. However, that time was a new drama of a small fresh meat, and the ratings penetrated the center of the earth, and the advertisers couldn't stand it, so they ran away.

What kind of animation does TBS do?

How can it be more deterrent than the bad drama of Xiao Xianrou? It doesn't make sense!

"It's hard to describe!"

Seto smiled bitterly: "Those two animations are light adaptations, the original work is already very bad, and the animation production is still short of funds and a tight schedule, resulting in an incomplete plot and distorted painting."

"That's fine!"

As soon as Gu Miao heard the words "the original work is terrible", she already knew it in her heart.

The original is rotten, and the adaptation is rotten!

This kind of "rotten and rotten" animation died violently, it is simply the light of the right path! Whoever comes, they have to boast of "a good death". "Oh yes, President. '

"The neon market has been very popular recently, whether it is a sister light or a sister comic, the market response is very good.

Seto hesitated for a moment before saying, "Shall we follow the trend and make a sister anime to test the waters?"

"Sister Animation?!"

Gu Miao was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

One thing is undeniable, that is, whether it is animation or comics, the easiest way to succeed is to follow the "trend" trend.

In simple terms.

We will do what the market desires and what the audience wants to see.

If neon really has a "sister" trend now, it can indeed follow the market trend and launch a "seasonal" work to test the water.

It's just that

The proposition of "sister department" is very extensive!

Different from the exclusive nouns such as "brother control" and "sister control", the interpretation of sister animation in a broad sense is: as long as there is a kawaii female character, it can be counted as a "sister" animation.

This "sister" is not his "sister"!

In a broad sense, the sister line should refer to "beautiful female characters". In the narrow sense, the sister line refers to the relationship between righteous sisters, brother and sister, sisters and other characters.

Of course, this is just Gu Miao's understanding.

In the eyes of the audience, as long as the protagonist has a kawaii sister, it is considered a sister animation. You don't even have a sister, and you're embarrassed to say that you're a sister?

Bah! Shame on you!

Seto said that the sister series works are very popular, referring to those works that "focus on portraying the protagonist's sister", that is, the "sister line" in a narrow sense

Gu Miao has many choices for this kind of work.

But he wanted to hear Seto's opinion.

After all, he is not a neon person, and he lives in Jiangchuan all the year round, so he doesn't know the market direction of neon very well. He needed to listen to Seto's opinion and then choose the right position for his work.

"Yes

Seto, who was in the video conference, scratched his head and said, "It's a little cute.,It's a sister work that is more of a daily campus class!"

According to him.

At present, the "sister series" works that are becoming popular in neon are generally based on the "daily campus" plot, and there are few elements such as superpower, magic, and fierce fighting.

That would exclude a lot of works.

is a daily campus plot, that is, the main "warm and funny" direction. And the sister animation in this regard,There are really not many optional works.。

"It's November!"

Gu Miao calculated that if she wanted to make "Sailor Moon 2" next year, it would take 3-4 months at most, which is the standard of 12 episodes.

Exclude those feature-length animations.

In this way, the works that are suitable for the "practice" of the Wanbao Neon Division and test the market direction of the "sister series" are actually very easy to choose.

"What about the theme of the Three Sisters?"

"Three sisters?

Seto was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Three heroines?" Is there an element of love? If there is, then the male protagonist chooses one of the three

"No, no, no, refuse to speculate in stocks!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "I'm a serious animation producer, how can I become a stockbroker?"

"There is no male protagonist in this anime!"

It took a long time to finally understand what the president meant by "stock speculation", and couldn't help but ask: "If there is no male protagonist, there is no love element!" As a sister animation, is it really appropriate to do this?"

"Who said you have to be in love to be called a sister animation? And.... If there is no male protagonist, it doesn't mean that there are no male characters!" Gu Miao was speechless.

What kind of pig brain is this?,I can't tell the difference between a male protagonist and a male partner, right?
