According to Liang Xiaodong.

The idea of "Shaun the Sheep" originated from a popular online video, in which a netizen named Sean often photographs some animals on the farm at home, which is particularly popular abroad.

It just so happened that at the beginning of this year, Gu Miao indicated that the company's overall strategy was more inclined to "overseas expansion".

As a member of Wanbao Animation.

When other studios are expanding overseas markets under the instructions of Mr. Gu, and works such as "The Lion King" and "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" are also well received overseas, puppet studios naturally have ideas.

So they created the stop-motion animation "Shaun the Sheep" based on a popular online video overseas, especially the cute "Little Sheep" in the video.

"So you mean ......"

Gu Miao groaned: "The animation "Shaun the Sheep" was originally intended to premiere abroad? As a result, I didn't contact a foreign TV station, so I broadcast it in China first? ”

"That's right!"

"At the beginning, we tried to find a few TV stations in Europe and the United States, but they didn't seem to trust us very much, so we didn't negotiate a cooperation." Liang Xiaodong's tone was a little helpless.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the work.

It's purely a human look.,Your animation is actually made by a Chinese? No way! The animation that you Chinese people do will definitely not work with us.

The main Liang Xiaodong is not famous.

Wanbao animation is a bit well-known, and everyone knows about "The Lion King" and "Cat and Mouse".

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

Although the puppet studio is also part of Wanbao Animation, they have nothing to do with projects such as "The Lion King" and "Cat and Mouse".

So Liang Xiaodong tried his best to preach how good and beautiful his animation was, but still no one wanted to try it, it was originally an animation for overseas audiences, but it couldn't be sold.

I can only say that I am embarrassed!

Fortunately, after "Shaun the Sheep" was broadcast in China, the response was very good, which also gave Liang Xiaodong confidence and gave him the confidence to carry out the second round of sales.

"Leave it to me!"

Gu Miao waved his hand, saying that this matter was on him, and it would definitely allow "Shaun the Sheep" to be broadcast on foreign TV stations smoothly.

didn't pay attention to it before, because he didn't know how much potential "Shaun the Sheep" really had.

Now I know.

And if you look closely, oh amazing! How can this anime be so popular among children under the age of 10?

That has to be arranged!

Preschool children under the age of 10, or kindergarten children, are described as having a high emotional intelligence, that is: walking ATMs......

Children of this age, don't look naughty and ignorant, but their spending power is very good, after all, they are in the "novice protection period" and have unlimited tolerance from their parents.

Why?

Because for children under the age of ten, parents basically give whatever they want. And when you are over ten years old, there is no such newbie benefit.

Wanbao Animation has great influence among 10-20-year-old teenagers, after all, its animation, comics, games and other works can cover this age group.

But among children under the age of 10, Wanbao is very weak, and can only rely on "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Infested" and "Crayon Xiaoxin" to barely support the scene.

The appearance of "Shaun the Sheep" can be regarded as a surprise for Gu Miao!

……

During the period of late November and early December, the animation "Shaun the Sheep" sprung up.

With its alternative theme positioning, it has won the love of many viewers in this period, and has also gained a lot of ratings.

But there is only one winner!

Although "Shaun the Sheep" has the appearance of a dark horse and its performance is really eye-catching, it still can't shake the hegemony of "The Adventures of Lolo".

More than 10 episodes of the anime have been broadcast.

In the latest plot, the Mengbeast clan attacked the energy city in a big way, and in order to take down the locomotive city, the second of the three war kings of the Mengbeast clan, the wild ape and the Menghu king broke out in conflict.

"War is a dirty game, and I'm a dirty player!"

Menghu King is dark.

He proposes to fight the Wild Ape alone, with the winner leading an army to attack the City of Energy, and the loser withdrawing his troops and leaving.

Wild apes typically have more muscles than IQ, and they don't bother to use their brains at all for what they can solve, so he also fell for the tricks of the Menghu King.

said that the beast king was single-handed, but the despicable and shameless guy of the Menghu King actually set a trap to plot against the wild ape......

Luckily, the Iron Beast arrived in time.

However, the arrival of the Golden Iron Beast only slightly relieved the pressure of the wild apes being besieged, but it still could not solve the problem.

After the golden iron beast took the initiative to break, it dragged the Menghu King to cover the wild ape to leave.

And the tornado in the City of Energy, who is most accustomed to others bullying more and less on weekdays, actually rushed out to save the golden iron beast that belonged to the hostile position.

The plan was disrupted, and the Menghu King was also very angry, and with the blessing of anger, the tornado and the golden iron beast had no power to fight back at all.

】

It happened to be at this time.

Thunderbolt and Luo Luo and the others arrived in time, and everyone joined forces to fight against the Menghu King, but they were still not opponents, and Luo Luo and the others were defeated in the Fire Dragon Valley.

Located beneath the Energy City, the Valley of the Fire Dragon hides secrets that will shock the entire world of machine beasts......

Energy amethyst!

As the most valuable resource in the world of "Machine War", the Fire Dragon Valley hidden under the energy city turned out to be the vein of energy amethyst, with a large amount of energy amethyst.

Luo Luo and the others discovered the secret, but they couldn't open the treasure, because this vein needed the defense tokens of multiple cities to open.

And on the other side.

The wild apes that stand out from the encirclement lead people to rescue the golden iron beast. The Menghu King was powerless to resist, so he had to use the golden iron beast as a hostage to blackmail the wild ape.

The wild ape had no choice, so for the safety of the golden iron beast, he had to let go of the Menghu King.

As the saying goes, let the tiger go back to the mountain!

Wild Ape knew that letting go of the Menghu King this time meant that he had fallen into the competition for the Energy City this time.

Although the Menghu King was disrupted by the Golden Iron Beast, Tornado, Thunderbolt and others, the result was right, the wild ape withdrew from the competition, and he could rest assured that he could boldly attack the City of Energy.

"He'll make it, right?"

"That's right."

Gu Miao sighed and said, "Although the Meng Beast Clan is constantly fighting among themselves, the Locomotive Clan is not one heart, and the fall of the Energy City is expected. ”

There's nothing surprising about that.

Although the audience often ridiculed, what is said to be an insider in the civil war of the Mengbeast clan, a layman in the foreign war, a typical "phantom god of civil war".

But the bikers weren't much better.

The early locomotive family, especially when many people didn't trust Luoluo, it was like a plate of loose sand.

Can energy cities fall?

It's true!

If the city lord is less arrogant and blind, and listens more to the advice of Luo Luo and Thunderbolt, with the defensive power of the city of energy, it will be difficult to be defeated unless the three war kings attack together.
