Chapter 1113: "The Aftermath of the Fragrance Transmission"
Gundam is a slow-burning anime.
What is slow heating?
refers not to the kind that became popular on the whole network at the beginning, but to slowly accumulate popularity and rise in the later stage.
You expect to watch a few episodes of Gundam and get hooked on it, that's unrealistic.
I've only watched a few episodes, do you know a hammer gundam? You're afraid you won't even be able to tell the difference between Gundam and Zaku!
"This thing is a bit like daughter red, the older it gets, the more fragrant it becomes."
Lao Zhang quipped: "If you really say so, then this animation may really be a great work in ten years." ”
"That's ...... indeed"
The current "Mobile Suit Gundam" may not be as popular as many popular works, but looking back ten years later, Gundam will definitely be a hundred times more popular than these short-lived IPs.
Gu Miao thinks so, and believes that Gundam IP should take a long-term development path, and there is no need to mind the immediate gains and losses.
"What about the blue cat's naughty three thousand questions?"
Lao Zhang asked: "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have said that "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" is also an animation IP that takes a long-term development path?" ”
"It's different."
"Although the blue cat naughty three thousand questions also take a long-term development path, the start is much more comfortable than that of Gundam." Gu Miao shook her head and said.
What is the opening of the Gundam?
When the first round of the original version was broadcast, it was almost cut in half and there was no news. Thanks to a group of fans who wrote letters to the TV station to express their attitude, they were able to continue the broadcast of Gundam and have the glory of later.
The Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions series has never experienced this dilemma.
Since the birth of this series, it has firmly sat on the top spot in China's number one knowledge science humorous and funny animation.
If it hadn't declined later and been replaced by the new generation of Pleasant Goat, Bear Infested and other IPs, it would not be a big problem for "Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions" to shoot another 3,000 episodes.
Don't underestimate the blue cat!
As soon as it is mentioned that the protagonist is "cat animation, especially domestic animation, only four cats have achieved the circle-breaking effect."
One is a black cat, one is a star cat, one is a rainbow cat, and one is a blue cat!
There are also some animations with cats as the protagonists that are also quite popular, but when it comes to influence and circle-breaking effect, it is really almost interesting compared to these four cats.
What big-faced cats, Peking Opera cats, and stingy cats are also quite famous, but they have not reached the height of rainbow cats and blue cats.
This can be seen from this.
Although Blue Cat is an outdated animated series, it was really fierce at its peak. After all, it is not a simple thing to be able to juxtapose with works like Black Cat Sheriff, Happy Star Cat and Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit.
Speaking of which......
The blue cat can be popular, but it is also a pity that there were no good domestic interesting popular science cartoons in that era.
It can be regarded as taking advantage of the times.
If the Wanbao version wants to reproduce the glory of the original, it is destined to be impossible. After all, in this era, there are many animations that children can watch, and it's not just blue cats that can be naughty.
However, Gu Miao made this animation, more because of his childhood feelings, and he didn't pay too much attention to his grades.
Achievements are fought for by other animations.
Like Superman, like Gundam!
……
In addition to the TV anime "Mobile Suit Gundam", two other blockbuster new works will be released in March.
One of them is Seto's "LoveLive!" cross-dimensional idol project adapted from the essay contest!
The other is produced by Wanbao Pictures, the first live-action comic film "Superman"!
Superman is to be expected.
After all, when Gu Miao went to the North American branch, she had already made arrangements in advance, and the publicity and film scheduling were all full.
If this can't be overpowered, Du Hao doesn't need to buy a plane ticket, just start from Los Angeles and swim across the entire Pacific Ocean back to Jiangchuan.
The focus is on LoveLive!!
As early as the beginning of the year, the first issue of LoveLive published a plan preview in a neon two-dimensional magazine, including the character settings and personality characteristics of the protagonists.
At that time, the name of the combination had not been decided.
With the original paintings of the main characters all revealed, the story of the girls who became school idols in order to save the school "Otono Kizaka Gaku", which was facing the crisis of abandonment, attracted the attention of many neon otaku at once.
Seto didn't rush to release the anime to tell him.
Instead, after announcing the CV list, the voice actors of these characters first released a single together.
OK!
With the single, this idol group is officially established.
The next step is to decide on the name.
Because of this period, LoveLive has released a single and can be regarded as a debut artist. Therefore, there is also a certain number of fans on the whole network, and the name of the group is decided by voting.
"Muse", the name of the goddess in charge of music, dance and literature in Greek mythology, has been recognized by a large number of fans.
So, the first phase of LoveLive's school idol group was officially named "Muse"!
After officially confirming the name of the group, releasing the single, and participating in various radio idol events, the Manpowero Neon Division then officially announced the animation production, which will be broadcast at the end of March at the earliest.
This news immediately made many fans excited.
Let's be clear first!
Muse debuted as an "idol" first, and then announced the decision to animate. Instead of being animated first, and then becoming an idol.
These are two very different concepts!
Muse is in everyone's eyes, it's the same as idol idols, there are singles and activities, but the idol I pushed is going to be a TV animation?
Wow! Now I have to support it!
In order to hype up the popularity of animation even higher, and to make the LoveLive project more out of the circle, Seto also came up with a very vicious method - voting on the list!
On the newly established LoveLive official support website, Muse Group opened the first round of popularity voting and announced that the animation production team will decide the position and role of the group during the performance according to the voting ranking.
Whoever is popular, who stands in the C position, enjoys higher attention and exposure!
Focus on fairness and justice.
The fanning from the official instantly detonated the enthusiasm of the fans.
In order to put their favorite characters in the C position, and in order to let idols get higher attention and scenes in the animation, fans can be said to spare no effort.
It's not enough to vote by yourself, you have to mobilize the people around you to vote together, for Suinaiguo, for Nan Xiaoniao...... Exploded with Wanbao!
Seto knows how to hype it up too well.
Under his manipulation, the animation "LoveLive!" has not yet been broadcast, and it has become the focus of the entire neon public opinion.
Interestingly......
In the process of popularity voting, Gu Miao seemed to see two distinctive figures at the top of the rankings.
One is the blonde and blue-eyed hot girl Anna, and the other is Li Wenwen from the ancient country of the East.
"It's really different!"
Gu Miao smiled, and immediately realized that this was Seto's intention.
The Wanbao version of "LoveLive" is no longer the same group of people as the original, at least the muses have become unrecognizable except for Honoka, Sonoda Haiwei and Minami Kotori.
The main thing is that the newcomers have changed.
And Gu Miao took a serious look and found that most of the changes were names and original paintings, and the characters and personalities were all right.
How so......
After all, the Wanbao version of "LoveLive!" has been produced by a different group of people, so it is not surprising that there is a difference.
And this version, because of Gu Miao's wonderful development, Wanbao has a strong influence in North America, Neon, and China, so Muse has North American members and Chinese members.
You want to expand your influence!
The first phase of the original LoveLive project is more of a neon local fire, and there is no behemoth like Wanbao abroad to promote it, so there is no such problem.
However, the Wanbao version of LoveLive project has joined the role of the region because it is backed by Wanbao, a multinational giant with extensive influence in North America and China.
Anna is from North America, and Li Wenwen is Chinese.
Both of them came to Neon in the nature of studying abroad in the story.,Studying in Otonogizaka School Park.,Joined the muse by chance.。
These two characters, because of their special origins and backgrounds, Gu Miao thought that the popularity vote would be very disadvantageous, and he couldn't vote for other characters.
Who knows......
The number of votes is quite high!
I don't know if it's the result of Seto's black-box operation, or if these two characters really have so many fans, anyway, these two characters are second only to Honoka, Minami Kotori and Sonoda Kaiwei in fourth and fifth place respectively.
"I cheated a little."
Seto frankly admitted that there was shady, but he also said that the shady scenes were not very serious, and the voting results were quite fair.
In simple terms.
Anna and Li Wenwen's popularity is almost the same as that of other characters, and they can't close the gap, Seto just helped a little and raised the ranking a little.
As for why he did it, the reason is simple.
Since the Wanbao version of "LoveLive!" wants to open up the North American and Chinese markets, it is destined that the roles of these two characters will not be too few.
If the ranking is very low, and as a result, the animation gives a lot of appearance opportunities and good positions, then isn't this vote a pure joke?
In order to show that the voting results are real and credible, at least on the surface, the animation production team does not favor any of the characters, and completely animates according to the voting results, and it is inevitable that they will be promoted to the ranking.
"It doesn't matter, it's shady."
Gu Miao looked at it very openly, and didn't mind Seto's commotion at all.
After all, this is a parallel world, and it is not unacceptable for an Anna and Li Wenwen to emerge.
Not to mention.
These newcomers are not the soul pillars of the muse, and the real pillars have to look at Suino Guo, Nan Xiaotori and Sonoda Haiwei.
"Speaking of which, this project should be more than one issue, right?"
Gu Miao asked on the phone: "I mean, the school idol should be more than just a group of muses, right?" ”
"Of course not!"
Seto rightfully said, "There will definitely be more school idols in the future, but this is just the first phase of the project." ”
"OK, I see."
"Then I hope that you guys will run this IP project well and don't make any animations that are rotten out of the sky."
When she thought of a certain animation whose rating reputation had fallen to the bottom and was hailed as a sequel to "Xiangyin Biography", Gu Miao felt uncomfortable.
Don't!
A masterpiece that can compete with "Beast Girl Zoo 2" in the bad reviews is probably rare in the world.
Of course!
No matter how bad the incense is, it is certainly not as disgusting as the Beast Girl Zoo 2.
It's just that too many people play stalks, and the perception of Xiangyin is really poor, so it looks very bad.
However, it must be admitted that Xiangyinden is indeed one of the few sequels in the history of "LoveLive!" animation that most fans can't stand to watch.
Cook Xiangyin was silent.
There are a lot of roles in the characters of my own fans, which is a good thing, but there are so many scenes that to a certain extent that it destroys the overall perception, which is not a good thing.
Gu Miao must give Seto a preventive shot to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and also make a so-called "Xiangyin Chuan" for the Wanbao version.
Come on!
Don't do this kind of thing, just thinking about it makes him unbearable.
The "LoveLive!" animation started late, and the planning content was more mature, Gu Miao just gave a few words of advice, and then hung up Seto's phone.
The highlight of March has to be the superhero battle that happened in Hollywood, that is, Kryptonian Superman VS Doctor Night!
Both films have been released.
As Gu Miao expected, under the premise that "Superman" clearly didn't want to make money and just wanted to make trouble, the premiere schedule rate of "Doctor Night" shrank greatly.
The two films were released on the same day, but the box office was a full digit difference on the first day.
Old George broke his defenses.
In an interview with the media, Old Man George was full of firepower, pointing the finger at some traitors in Hollywood, and working with outsiders to suppress him.
"Shet! The Superman movie is a piece of shit, and I don't understand why it has such a high production rate and screen count......"
"Of course you don't understand."
Gu Miao, who was far away in Jiangchuan, was so happy to see Old Man George break his defense.
In order to deal him a fatal blow, he also told Dave to buy media releases from today onwards and not give George Sr. a chance to breathe.
The reputation of "Doctor Night" is still very good.
To suppress such films, you have to spend a lot of money, and work with the media to say that the black is white, and the deer is a horse.
That's not a problem for Manbo.
Wanbao is rich, which is the biggest advantage in Hollywood, no matter what kind of film critics or media reporters, they will all help "Superman" speak.
Saying that "Doctor Night" is a bad movie with a clear conscience, it's not difficult to be honest, just give money.
If Old Man George is rich, then he can fight back, coupled with his connections, it is impossible to let public opinion continue to ferment.
But again, he has no money!
"Doctor Night" drained his wallet, and if he could afford to pay for it, even if it was less, he wouldn't worry about no one to speak for him.
But you won't pay a penny, and you still want everyone to talk for you? What's the deal! Why are you so thick-skinned?
"Doctor Night" has achieved dismal results, and the guidance of public opinion has made many fans feel that this is a bad movie and it is not worth buying tickets to watch the movie.
For the same fare, let's go see Superman! I heard that it's pretty good-looking, and the new Superman is really handsome......
A chain reaction has emerged.
"Doctor Night" was a dismal box office, and the internal turmoil of "bringing down George" within Mardete's company immediately began.
George is still very prestigious.
He tried to use his prestige and connections to quell the coming storm and convince everyone that "Doctor Night" was targeted and not his fault.
But how can things be so simple, how can Gu Miao, who is planning everything behind him, let him get his wish?
Soon the bank came to the door and demanded the loan and interest from Mardete, citing the risk of debt.
The house leak happened to rain overnight!
Just when Old George was struggling to cope, the news that the council had launched an investigation into the "discrimination" of his comics completely crushed him...... (End of chapter)
