When it comes to American comics and superheroes, many classic screen images pop up in Gu Miao's mind in an instant.

What Iron Man, Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Hulk......

These are all representative characters.

However, among the hundreds of superheroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are definitely the most special one.

Why is it special?

The reason is simple, when the word "ninja" is mentioned, normal people can easily associate neon country. After all, the ninja theme is very common in neon anime, games, and even movies.

This also led to the fact that many people, including Gu Miao, subconsciously thought that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a work of neon, and did not classify it into the category of "American comics".

No way!

If you don't know anyone who knows it well, I'm afraid you really haven't thought that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is actually an "American comic" work.

It can only be said that Laomei is worthy of being a country that started with "immigrants", and this cultural inclusiveness is simply amazing.

From "Kung Fu Panda" to "The Penguins of Madagascar", from "Aladdin" to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which tells about Arabic mythology.

Nima!

I don't want to know, I want to be scared. In those years, the animation works that were popular all over the world, and the heavy label of "regional culture" were basically made by Lao Mei.

Tell me, what is this called?

Gu Miao is not a neon person, so she has a bad evaluation of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". But he is a native of China and knows very well what "Kung Fu Panda" really means.

Mixed tastes!

The country's kung fu culture, the country's national treasure panda, has been carried forward by a group of foreigners and used to circle the money of their own people.

As an animator, it's impossible to say that your mood isn't complicated.

Of course!

It was before, and now is now.

Since Gu Miao has devoted himself to the animation industry and become an animation producer, he must have the idea of "replacing him".

A dog has his day!

When Nan Tong told him that Wanbao Comics had poached several cartoonists from North America and brought back several American comic works with "great adaptation potential" by the way, Gu Miao knew that his opportunity had come.

It's just that he didn't expect it......

Among the several excellent American comics excavated by Nantong, there are actually works of this level as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Did you really pick up a leak?

At first, Gu Miao thought that this was just a "name crash", it was nothing more than a similar title of the work, maybe it was not the same work?

But when he picked up the comic book and flipped through it a few times, he realized that he was wrong, this was really "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"!

Live in the sewers of New York and use weapons such as ninja knives, katanas, and nunchucks to deal with demons, as well as various villains and a group of mysterious ninjas......

"The Great Age of Genes"

Through the synopsis of the story, you can see it with your eyes closed, this is the legendary "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

After discovering this work, Gu Miao learned about the origin and author of this comic through Nan Tong for the first time.

After the manga "Tee Ninja Turtles" was released in North America, the response was not bad.

When Nan Tong went to North America to learn about the American comic market, he was recommended this comic. After reading it, he was very happy, and immediately contacted the original author and dug it up to Wanbao Comics.

The original authors have all come to Wanbao, and the comic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has naturally become Wanbao's bag.

There is a slight nuisance, though......

That's the publisher's side, and they are also very optimistic about the manga "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

"It's not difficult to win the adaptation rights."

Nan Tong's original words are that the adaptation rights are very easy to get, after all, it can be adapted into animation, which is definitely a great thing for comics of this level.

But here's the problem......

If the adapted animation becomes popular, I'm afraid that the publisher will make some trouble, after all, they also own part of the copyright.

This is also a small hidden danger, if not handled well, it may be endless in the future.

That's why.

After Gu Miao got the animation adaptation rights of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", she was not in a hurry to start the project, but chatted with a professional lawyer for a while.

His idea was simple: to take back the copyright from the publisher completely, so as to avoid disputes later.

This is still being planned.

Before the publisher was dealt, Gu Miao would not be in a hurry to get "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", because he was afraid that if the animation became popular, it would be difficult for the publisher to talk about it.

However, shelving is shelf.

After all, the name of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is here, and Gu Miao can't pretend not to see it, and the preparations that should be made have already begun.

He can't wait to know what kind of expression the neon audience will have when they see the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animation and learn that it is an animation produced by a "Huaguo company"?

It's going to be fun!

In fact, when Gu Miao proposed to adapt the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" anime, Nan Tong made a suggestion.

He believes that the ninja element is too neon, so it is better to change it to "Huaguo Kung Fu".

"No, no, no!"

Gu Miao immediately objected: "Kung Fu Divine Turtle? Sounds inferior, how good a ninja is! What a disgusting person! ”

Ninja is such a great setting, why change it?

If this is changed, then how will he get the neon broadcast? How can you appreciate the neon audience's expression of praising the animation for being good while scolding the neon animation company?

A Chinese animation company made a "ninja" theme animation, and then swept a number of neon animation companies' new works in the neon homeland?

What if this Huaguo company still puts aside this crazy hype of the concept of "ninja" and sells derivatives related to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to make money?

I couldn't hold it back.

Just thinking about it, Gu Miao had an urge to "look up to the sky and smile".

Brother, you are a ninja who is so moist!

is not only a neon ninja, Gu Miao also prepares to turn around and combine the pharaohs of Egypt, Aladdin of Arabia, the myths of Western Europe, and the legends of the Amazon in South America...... It's all animated.

Disgusting and that's it.

Cultural export?

Who is with you about this cultural output, do you know what is the "Silas" of the animation industry? Give someone a taste of their own medicine!

You drop myths and legends are very moist, now it's Wanbao's, and there are limited edition gold-plated figures, do you want to buy a collection?

"Quack!"

Gu Miao admits that she has a bad taste, but this bad taste is also based on the "production" strength of Wanbao Animation.

From the current point of view, although Wanbao animation is already very top in China, it has reached the level of Dugu seeking defeat, but on a global scale, Wanbao is average.

I still have to keep up the good work!

Not to mention anything else, at least before the release of "The Snake Comes to Run", Wanbao Animation did not have a good animated "movie".

This is definitely a big shortcoming.

If you don't make up for this shortcoming, you won't be able to go far with TV animation alone, at least it's hard to make a lot of money in the overseas market.
