The Wanbao version of the "Sailor Moon" movie is not the theatrical version in Gu Miao's memory, but the original story of Seto and others.

Originality means risk.

If the level of originality is relatively high, it will naturally be happy for everyone, which not only meets the needs of fans, but also makes the company make a lot of money.

In most cases......

The so-called originality is synonymous with hitting the street, especially the team with no experience and no accumulation like the Neon Division, and if they rashly set foot in the film market, they will definitely fall very badly.

"Take your time, don't rush."

Gu Miao said to the frustrated Seto on the phone: "Actually, there is no need to think about how difficult the theatrical version is, if you are really not sure how difficult it is, then do it in the way of TV animation." ”

"TV animation?"

"That's right! Directly follow the production idea of TV animation, to produce an "extended version" of TV episodes, and then move to the cinema for release. ”

It's a lazy approach.

However, it must be admitted that although this is a very cutting corner, it does save a lot of trouble, and it also allows Seto and others to quickly find their senses.

】

Not to mention......

Is the so-called theatrical version the TV extended version new in the neon animation industry?

Not at all!

Except for a few works, which may be produced in strict accordance with the standards of animated films, most of the other popular animated theatrical versions are actually TV extended versions.

It's no surprise that it belongs.

For this deformed or alternative theatrical version, you have to ask the audience if they are happy to accept it? That's probably not happy.

But why is there a market?

Why can such a TV extended version be popular in movie theaters, and even someone will always pay for it?

This has to talk about each animation IP, about the positioning of the theatrical version.

Some animations, it came out in the theater version because it really wanted to benefit and give back to the fans, by the way, I would like to tell a story that the TV version has not told, and the production team came with full sincerity, such as the "Bear Infested" series.

And some animations, the reason why the theatrical version will be released is one reason: the company wants to circle a wave of fans' money!

This kind of animation,The initial goal is very clear.,Since it's to make money.,And the main focus is also "fan-oriented".,So why bother so much effort? Isn't it fragrant to make an extended version of the TV animation directly?

"Okay, I see."

Seto may have really understood, and after taking the president's advice and kind reminders to heart, he quickly threw a question to Gu Miao.

Let's not talk about the theatrical version yet.

As one of the most well-known anime IPs under Wanbao and the loudest signboard of Wanbao's neon division, the animated "Sailor Moon" series has been over for a while since the previous one.

What Seto wants to ask is, does the American War series need to launch a fourth season in the new year to continue the popularity?

"Yes!"

"If you're worried about the conflict between the positioning genre of "Pretty Girl of Light" and "Sailor Moon", then you can cross-push the new."

Gu Miao explained: "For example, the latest sequel to "Sailor Moon" came out in the first year, the sequel to "Pretty Girl of Light" came out in the second year, and it was the turn of "Sailor Moon" in the third year...... And so on and so forth. ”

There is a benefit to doing so.

That is, the two works are cross-promoted, which can always bring freshness to the audience, so that they will not be pushed in a row, and they will get tired of watching it in a few years.

The downside is that progress is slower.

Take the animation "Sailor Moon" as an example, it used to be a new TV work a year, but after adopting this model, it became a new TV work every two years, with an extra year of interval in between.

This is a bit long......

The audience's patience is limited, and they can't wait for the new work to be broadcast, coupled with the diversion temptation of other works, they soon rebelled and abandoned the pit.

This is also why,Those popular animations,Especially the ones that are so popular that they explode,Usually they will be continuously serialized and updated.,The slowest is also the reason why a new TV work is released every year.。

Because although your popularity is high, you can't release new works for a long time, and these popularity can't be retained, and sooner or later they will be slowly forgotten.

If you want to retain popularity and continue the popularity of animation, the best way is to "high-yield sows", and strive to achieve uninterrupted updates, and there is no so-called window interval.

……

The fourth season of the American War has already been decided to be produced and broadcast in the new year.

It is said that this season, I plan to use "Spuer S" as the subtitle, emphasizing that this is the "super" version of the American war S.

Originally, it wasn't called this.

In the original plan, the fourth season of the Sailor Moon series TV anime should be another English subtitle.

But here's the problem.

The third season, that is, "Sailor Moon S", was well received and became an insurmountable milestone work in the American War series, so this free popularity must not be rubbed?

So there was "Sailor Moon Supers", referred to as "American Battle SS".

As for whether there will be any "Sailor Moon SSSS", "Sailor Moon SSSS" and so on in the future, there is a high probability that there will be none.

The reason is simple.

A trick like this can be played once, and no one will really be addicted to it? Catch "Sailor Moon S" and don't let go, it's not enough to make a supers, you need a super s plus, right?

That's too low!

In addition to the TV animation of the fourth season of the American War, Gu Miao also pays attention to the upcoming "Dragon Ball Z".

This is the highlight of the year.

Nishio has little time left on his vacation, and when his vacation is over, "Dragon Ball Z" will almost be ready to start production and broadcast on Neon TV.

It's hard to say exactly when.

Because it is a "weekly" mode of broadcasting while doing it, as long as conditions permit, it can be arranged to be broadcast at any time.

Anyway, it depends on Nishio, the time when he returns to the company after his vacation is probably the time when the anime "Dragon Ball Z" will be broadcast, and the deviation is at most four or five days......

The Neon division is thriving.

After the beginning of spring, it is expected that a number of new anime works will be broadcast one after another, including even works with great potential such as "Dragon Ball Z".

And the Jiangchuan headquarters is not bad.

Don't look at "The Adventures of Lolo" to be broadcast at the end of the year, the popularity explosion and ratings are extremely high, but this is still somewhat meaningless compared to a new work that will be broadcast next year.

With Hou Bin as the chief director, it was built with an investment of 100 million yuan, which is known as the TV animation "God Chef Xiaofugui" with the highest production cost since the establishment of Wanbao, which is officially scheduled for February and March next year.

Do you understand the gold content of 100 million?

Wanbao has previously engaged in projects with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and there are also TV animations, such as "The Moonlight is Beautiful" and "The Adventures of Uncle Long" invested by big financiers.

These 100 million yuan animations, although under the banner of investing more than 100 million yuan, but in fact, the production cost really broke 100 million?

Not really!

His family knows his own affairs, and he can say whatever he wants to publicize it to the outside world, but within Wanbao, "Chef Xiaofugui" is the first animation with a real cost of more than 100 million.

There is no moisture at all......
