As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a general who is always victorious and undefeated.

This sentence can also be applied to the Go world, because Xiao Ke, who was pinned on by the majority of chess friends, missed the final in this tournament and was unfortunately eliminated.

This is definitely big news!

Because this is Xiao Ke's first round of a major competition in recent years, he failed to achieve results.

"It's okay! You are still young, and a momentary defeat will not prove anything, and I am sure that you will definitely win it back in the future. ”

After comforting Xiao Ke who lost the game, Gu Miao immediately told him an extremely exciting good news.

The anime "Go Boy" is almost finished in post-production!

"Really?"

The defeat in the game certainly made Xiao Ke very disappointed, but he was a professional chess player after all, and his emotions quickly adjusted.

Compared with the World Series of Go, which has ended, the news of "Go Boy" is more concerned to him, after all, this is an animation work that he personally participated in the production and also has the title of special consultant.

"Of course it's true!"

Gu Miao said with a smile on the phone: "When you leave, the animation is almost finished, and now there is only some finishing work left to be done." ”

"Great! Does that mean I'll soon be able to see the Go Boy anime on TV? ”

"Let's ...... National Day"

Gu Miao combined the results of his negotiations with CCTV Children's Channel, and gave an approximate broadcast time: "The specific day is still uncertain, the only thing I can tell you is that the animation will be broadcast from 18:00 to 19:00 in the evening." ”

This is something that can be revealed.

After all, if "Go Boy" wants to be broadcast on TV platforms, the only requirement is prime time.

If there is no prime time, Gu Miao will not land on the TV platform, and it will be directly in the form of online animation.

But then again.

The reason why the specific broadcast time has not yet been determined is mainly because the ending of the "Go Boy" animation is still controversial within the production team.

Even Xiao Ke, a special consultant, doesn't know about this matter.

Because "Go Junior" does not have a very clear hint of "sequel derivation" like "The Prince of Tennis", there is a voice within the production team.

Is there a dark line in the ending?

The main reason for the emergence of this voice is that everyone feels that the animation "Go Boy" will inevitably become popular and will inevitably meet the conditions for a sequel.

Since this is a sure thing, it becomes logical to bury a dark line at the end of the first season in advance to provide a solid guarantee for future sequels.

That said, but not everyone in the production team supports this argument.

There are also some people, especially the core members of the screenwriting team, who strongly oppose the proposal to leave a dark line for the ending of "Go Boy" to facilitate the sequel later.

In their words, Jiang Liu'er's story has ended here.

If you have to continue the mink with the dog's tail, what kind of sequel to the four dissimilarities is purely to destroy the integrity of the ending, and it is also an excessive consumption of the IP of "Go Boy".

In this case, Gu Miao, as the person who speaks, his attitude is very crucial.

No matter which side he supports, which side will achieve an overwhelming advantage, he says that if he wants to make a sequel, then it will definitely come out, and he says that if he can't do it, then no one else will do it.

But at this time, Gu Miao fell into hesitation.

Following his inner feelings, he felt that the screenwriters said it well, Jiang Liuer's story ended here, and there shouldn't be any sequel to the dogtail mink.

But in addition to being an animator and the CEO of an animation company, he is also the CEO of an animation company, so the perspective of thinking about things will be more complicated.

If "Go Boy" is popular, and it is a big hit, then it must be more reasonable to release a sequel out of the position of maximizing interests.

So in the handling of the ending, he seems very indecisive.

I want to retain the integrity and completeness of the ending, but I also want to leave a little hint in the ending, so as to provide a legitimate reason for the sequel to be released in the future.

This contradiction in thinking has just ended in "Roaming the World of Animation" and has continued until the release of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2".

With the National Day approaching, CCTV Children's Channel has gradually run out of patience, constantly urging Wanbao Animation to come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible and finalize the premiere date.

"What's there to hesitate about?"

Director Wang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, learned about the root of Gu Miao's hesitation, and provided him with a new way to solve the problem.

"If you don't have a sequel, then you won't be out! If you are reluctant to give up the IP of "Go Boy", then follow up to make a few "Go Middle-aged" and "Go Girl"! ”

"As long as you bite the bullet and don't admit it, who can say that "Go Girl" has anything to do with "Go Boy"?"

"Ah......h

I have to admit that although Director Wang has no skills, he has been in the animation industry for so many years, and his knowledge and experience are indeed very rich, and even Gu Miao admires it.

This is indeed a good solution.

Jiang Liuer's story is indeed not good for a sequel, but if "Go Boy" is really popular, then you can also make a "Go Girl" to gain popularity.

It's not a sequel, it's better than a sequel!

As long as Wanbao officially does not admit that there is a relationship between these two works, even if the audience feels that they are very similar, it cannot be said that "Go Girl" is a sequel to "Go Boy".

"That's a good idea, so do as you say."

Gu Miao, who had solved the root of his troubles, had the word happy written all over his face, but soon he noticed Director Wang's extremely solemn expression.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot to ask, aren't you helping Huang Kun produce the second season of "Roaming the World of Animation"? Why did you run me here? ”

"Mr. Gu......"

Director Wang is not a person who can hide his thoughts very well, seeing that Gu Miao saw the clue, he simply opened the skylight and said something bright.

He told Gu Miao that he decided to leave Wanbao Animation for personal reasons, and he would no longer engage in the animation production industry in the future, and devote his energy to the field of animation talent training.

"Why?"

Gu Miao was shocked by his decision, and asked with a confused expression, "Can you give me a reason?" ”

"Probably old."

Director Wang showed gratitude: "I am very grateful to you for taking me in and helping me through the difficulties at that time, regardless of my previous suspicions." ”

"But my skills are limited, and I can't contribute to the company despite receiving a high salary, which makes me feel a strong sense of guilt......"

"What are you talking about?"

Gu Miao frowned and said: "I have never disliked you, I have always felt that your senior experience has helped us a lot, I don't believe you to ask Ma Kui Hou Bin, I believe they think so too." ”

Wanbao Animation's producers, it can be said that Gu Miao attaches great importance to it, and there is no dislike for anyone who lacks ability.

The same is true for Director Wang.

In the early years, there were indeed contradictions between him and Director Wang, but this kind of thing has long passed.

And over the years, although Director Wang has lacked the opportunity to direct an animation independently, he is still the most reliable assistant director candidate for Wanbao Animation with his rich experience, not even one!

Based on this alone, he is worthy of Gu Miao's salary for him, and a "golden deputy" like him who is willing to be a behind-the-scenes dedication of Green Leaves will be popular no matter which animation company he is in.

No matter what animation project the company initiates, Ma Kui, Hou Bin, Huang Kun and even Gu Miao will always contact Director Wang as soon as possible and ask him if he is free to be the assistant director of a new project.

This is a recognition of his abilities.

Otherwise, there are so many newcomers waiting for the top position in Wanbao Animation, why don't you contact them, but want to partner with Director Wang?

"Old is old, there's nothing to be embarrassed to admit."

Director Wang waved his hand, his expression was very free: "It just so happens that Jiangchuan University intends to set up an animation talent incubation site, focusing on cultivating and transporting animation professionals who are in short supply in China." ”

"My current energy is limited,There may be no future for me to devote myself to animation production,On the contrary, it will block the way of many young people,It's better to spend free time to train newcomers,Do your last heart for the Guoman industry。

"I discussed with Dean Qin, and in the future, I will be a special guest lecturer, teach classes to students every day, take them to experience the animation production process, and Master Cao will also go with me to ......."

"Huh? Master Cao is also going? ”

Gu Miao was really stunned at this moment.

Director Wang had the idea of retreating, this matter had already surprised him, and he learned from Director Wang that Master Cao was also going to retire, and he felt that the sky of Wanbao Animation was about to fall.

Daba!

The departure of a single director Wang may not have much impact, but Master Cao is a big name who sits in Wanbao and single-handedly leads the production of theme songs for many animation soundtracks.

If he leaves, what will happen to the future Wanbao Animation Music Department?

"Don't worry!"

As if seeing Mr. Gu's surprise, Director Wang explained with a smile: "Master Cao said that he would not leave Wanbao, and he would have to die in the recording studio. ”

"He went with me to be a lecturer, mainly to see if there were any good seedlings in music, especially young people who are interested in anime music."

"Okay......"

Gu Miao smiled bitterly: "Since you have made a decision, I can't say anything." But you don't have to leave your job, Wanbao will always be your home, you keep your identity card, welcome to come back at any time. ”

"By the way, the talent incubation project engaged in by Jiangchuan University, if I remember correctly, it seems to be a cooperation with our Wanbao, right?"

"That's right!"

"Not only Wanbao, Jiangda has also reached cooperation with well-known companies such as Penguin Animation, Yitian Animation, and Dream Animation in recent years."

Director Wang said with a smile: "The students I train may not necessarily come to Wanbao after graduation, and they may also go to other companies!" ”

"It doesn't matter,As long as it's to cultivate talents for the Guoman industry,It's a good thing no matter where you go after graduation。

Gu Miao waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind Jiangchuan University cooperating with other animation companies at all.

Cultivating animation talents, the more companies involved, the better, Gu Miao can't wait for all friends to participate and make the cake of Daguo comics together.

Why is Neon's anime industry so strong? It's not because the talent training can keep up, the older generation of animators hasn't retired yet, and a large number of newcomers have emerged.

On the other hand, in China, it is always that group of people who engage in animation, and there are not no newcomers, but there are relatively few of them.

It's rare to have a group of potential newcomers, good guys, all pulled away by the game company and advertising agency next door......

In this case, Guoman's desire to rise is really no different from an idiot's dream.

Wanbao Animation is very strong.,That's only Wanbao Animation.,If one day Wanbao doesn't work.,Isn't it an instant to be beaten back to its original shape?

Wang Dao left.

As he said, he can't fight anymore when he's old, and he can't stay up late like a young man to burst his liver, and it is indeed a good choice to devote himself to the animation talent training industry.

Gu Miao did not approve his resignation, and went through the "retirement" procedure for him.

This also means that Director Wang has become the first retired employee and animation producer since the establishment of Wanbao Animation.

Someone in the company has retired.

The impact of this incident on Gu Miao was still quite big, because he suddenly realized that everyone was no longer young.

Even the apprentice Guo Hongwei he accepted is almost 30 years old, which is half a middle-aged uncle......

As for him and Ma Kui Huang Kun, let alone them.

Xiao Sensen went to kindergarten, and Gu Miao was cheeky and could still say that he was a young man. When Komori goes to elementary school, he says that he is a young man, who will believe it?

If the trend of "middle-aged" executives is obvious, then the "aging" of a group of behind-the-scenes animation team members such as concept artists, animators, and editors is even more serious.

Cultivating and absorbing young blood has become the most important thing for Wanbao's personnel department.

Otherwise, in a few years, all the old people of Wanbao will not move, and there will be no young people who can top it, so wait for the end!

It's embarrassing......

Jiangchuan headquarters, which seems to be full of young people, is the most embarrassing one, although the average age of the team is relatively high in the neon branch and the North American branch, there is no need to worry about the lack of talent reserves.

Especially the Neon Division.

Due to the economic environment and the high salary of Wanbao in the industry, there are a large number of neon animation practitioners who want to join Wanbao.

Seto has never been worried about not being able to recruit people, and there are a lot of young social animals waiting to be summoned by him, and he can pick and choose from his resume alone.

"Damn!"

The more Gu Miao thought about it, the more angry he became, if this went on like this for a long time, would Seto, the vassal king, hold high the banner and call Qingjun to the side?

Who will be the headquarters then? Who is the division? Isn't Morimori's inauguration ceremony as president of Manpo Animation going to Neon Kyoto?

That's disgusting!

Thinking of the scene in the future where Seto and Nishio coerced "Komori Sen" to order the princes to act as a blessing within the entire group, Gu Miao's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Cut the domain!

The arrogance of the neon branch must be suppressed and Seto knows who is the father.

"Dragon Ball", "Pretty Girl of Light" and "Sailor Moon" are known as the three pillars of the Neon Division.

Forget about the light and the United States.

These two "Horse Monkey Shochu" animations are far less important than the "Dragon Ball" series, if Gu Miao wants to cut the domain, the focus still has to be on "Dragon Ball".

On the side of Jiangchuan headquarters, there is a lack of a world-class big IP that can wrestle with "Dragon Ball"! If there is, there is no need to worry that Seto and Nishio will rebel.
