My Animation Era

  Inuyasha is one of the classic neon animations that Gu Miao saw when he was a child and left a deep impression on him.

without any exaggeration.

  Inuyasha in red and white hair was the male **** he admired the most when he was a child, and Kagome, who is lively, kind and not slowing down, was his favorite anime goddess when he was a teenager.

  Because of this, Gu Miao still cared about the establishment and production of the "Inuyasha" animation project even though it was thousands of miles away.

   Soon after the "Inuyasha Production Committee" was established, Gu Miao joined it as a special consultant.

  He didn't just make up numbers.

   On the contrary, Gu Miao, as a special consultant, stood on the shoulders of her predecessors, and with the perspective of two worlds, she gave many useful suggestions to the animation production team.

   For example, the jade of the four souls.

  As the most important item in the project of "Inuyasha", it is also a key prop to promote the progress of the whole story. The Jade of the Four Souls runs through the entire work.

   But when designing this psychic gem, many people didn't know where to start.

   It was Gu Miao's suggestion to design it in the shape of a bead, so that after being shot by Kagome with the magic-breaking arrow, each piece can basically be guaranteed to be about the same size.

   This is not his nonsense!

  The jade of the four souls is designed in the shape of a round bead, which is supported by scientific principles behind it, and it is not easy to change the shape.

   "Change the shape, such as a cuboid, a cube, and a cylinder. After being shot by Kagome with the magic-breaking arrow, what do you think the fragments will look like?"

   "Uh... different sizes?"

   "Exactly!"

  Gu Miao snapped her fingers, nodded and said, "Although we can make the jade of four souls in other shapes shatter evenly, that's too fake, and the shape of round beads is more suitable."

   "By the way, jade means small **** or beads in neon language, and the original meaning of the jade of the four souls is the orb crystallized by the four souls."

   "Huh? What else is going on?"

   Ma Kui said in amazement: "This is not what I thought. The jade in my impression is more irregularly shaped jade articles such as jade pendants and jade seals."

   "Oh yes, and Yuzu!"

  Gu Miao: "..."

  Let’s talk about the jade of the four souls, Ma Kui suddenly said jade feet, he couldn’t fix it.

   "Ahem, look at this."

  Cleared her throat, Gu Miao, who was almost led into the ditch by a sentence of jade feet, turned her head and took out a faxed document.

"What's this?"

   Ma Kui, who took the file, looked puzzled. He flipped through the file and glanced at it. His expression became even more puzzled.

   This is a proposal for the licensing and cooperation of the character image of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", proposed by the world-renowned fast food brand Golden Arches.

  What's so strange about this?

  Wanbao Animation has a large number of popular animation characters, and receives thousands of applications for authorization and cooperation of animation characters from all walks of life every day.

  Ma Kui is not the person in charge of copyright operations, and this aspect has nothing to do with him, so he can't figure out what the purpose of President Gu showing him this cooperation plan is.

  Is it possible...

  Mr. Gu feels that he is not suitable for a professional technical position, and plans to transfer him to an administrative management position, and then take charge of the copyright operation business?

   "Don't think so much."

   "I just want to ask you, do you think animation works like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are suitable for these commercial cooperation?"

  What's wrong with business cooperation?

   Ma Kui didn't turn his head around at first, thinking that there is nothing to consider, isn't it just a business cooperation, a **** who has money but doesn't make money!

   But before he could say anything, he suddenly realized what Mr. Gu was worried about.

  "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is different from other animations. Most of the other animations are fictional characters, but the characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are all ancient celebrities with names in history books.

  Using these people to make profits, and engage in business cooperation under the banner of ancient celebrities, it is really not nice to say it.

  Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei...

   Among these names, which one is not a well-known historical celebrity?

  Although the character image is designed by Wanbao and has independent copyright, it is no problem to authorize it to anyone. But this name is indeed a bit taboo in the field of business cooperation.

   This has to introduce a concept.

  Take the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as an example. Wanbao owns the absolute copyright of the character images in it. After all, they are all original results drawn by themselves.

   What about names?

  The animation characters of the characters are original, but these names can’t be original, right?

  If the authorization is given to a cooperative enterprise, then they will also use the character image + name instead of a separate character image.

   "I don't feel well..."

  After hesitating for a moment, Ma Kui gave his opinion: "If the names of Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu are misused by us, some fans may resent them."

"I think so too."

  Gu Miao nodded.

  The copyright operation department has already piled up a thick pile of cooperation proposals for the role authorization of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he never nodded his approval.

  The main thought is that Wanbao is not short of money now, so there is no need to over-consume the fame of these historical figures.

  Business cooperation must be cautious!

  After all, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not an ordinary animation, and every character in it is an ancient person whose name was left in the history book.

   Let Zhuge Liang endorse some milk tea, and the prime minister agrees after drinking it! Asking Liu Bei to endorse some sneakers... Isn't this purely crazy about money!

  Gu Miao still has a bottom line.

  Three Kingdoms Animation In his opinion, this is not a work for making money. If you can’t do business cooperation, don’t do it. It doesn’t matter if it’s something peripheral.

  The reason for asking Ma Kui is also to respect his opinion as a director.

  Since Ma Kui also agrees with him, no business cooperation, no external authorization, then this matter can be finalized.

   In the future, if there is a similar cooperation proposal, the copyright operation department will directly reject it.

"So be it!"

   "By the way, you can go to the high-speed rail station later and pick someone up for me."

   "Pick up who?"

   "Do you still remember the die-hard fan of Nuan Yang Yang I mentioned before? She will arrive in Jiangchuan in the afternoon. You can pick her up and arrange a hotel for her."

  Gu Miao said with a smile: "In addition to her, we also invited about 50 loyal fans to organize a group visit to Wanbao Animation tomorrow morning. There will be media interviews at that time. Remember to shave and dress decently."

  Fan group visit?

   Upon hearing this, Ma Kui suddenly showed an expression of anticipation.

   This is the first time that Wanbao Animation has opened to the public, welcoming fans from all over the country to visit. It is definitely a big event!

   How can light shaving be enough?

   Ma Kui pondered, in order to make a good impression on the fans who are coming, should he have a hairstyle?

  …

  Children's Day is approaching.

  In order to let children know more about Wanbao and enhance intimate communication with fans, the ever-mysterious Wanbao animation was opened to the public for the first time, and the "Wanbao Open Day" event was held.

  51 fans from all over the country, as well as many TV media and self-media animation bloggers, went to Jiangchuan for the appointment at the invitation of Wanbao.

  The open exhibition area, in addition to the Wolfsburg Studio, Feiyang Studio, Dimension Studio and Puppet Studio that everyone has been looking forward to, also includes the company's internal gym, cafeteria, and president's office.

   This should be considered a pilgrimage to the Holy Land!

  As the leader of domestic animation and one of the world's animation poles, it is definitely the ultimate wish of countless fans to be able to visit the inner workings of Wanbao Animation.

Unfortunately…

  In order to reduce the disturbance to employees as much as possible, and taking into account the company's reception capacity, this "Wanbao Open Day" event, a total of 98 fans + media bloggers.

   It's really not that Gu Miao is stingy, he is reluctant to invite more fans to visit.

  Wanbao’s workplace is so large, and its reception capacity is limited. Too many people come here, which is really beyond Wanbao’s tolerance.

  In fact, Wanbao was exhausted enough to arrange the accommodation, food, drink and entertainment for these one hundred people.

  Liu Zida is one of the media representatives invited to visit as an animation blogger recommended by Wanbao Video Website.

  At first, he didn't want to come, after all, he is a black fan of Wanbao, and it would be strange not to be kicked out when he came to visit Wanbao!

  But I couldn’t stand Wanbao Video’s persistent persuasion: As the animation blogger with the highest number of fans in Wanbao Video, if you don’t go, who is qualified?

   What's more, I went to visit Wanbao Animation. If this is made into a video, the number of views will explode?

  Considering these, Liu Zida accepted the company's arrangement calmly, and arrived at Jiangchuan Jinma Hotel last night with an invitation letter.

  The hotel is arranged by Wanbao.

   At any rate, it is a five-star hotel with good environment and service. At least Liu Zida slept comfortably.

  After getting up, washing up and having breakfast, he took the gimbal and action camera, and under the guidance of the staff, boarded the bus to Jiangchuan Animation Industrial Park.

  The bus drove in the park, and after about ten minutes, it finally stopped at the parking lot in Zone B, which belongs to Wanbao Animation.

   "The area is quite large..."

   It was the first time for Liu Zida to come to Wanbao Animation Headquarters. After getting out of the car, he took a look at the building, and his first impression was that it was big.

  Being able to own such a large piece of land in Jiangchuan Animation Industrial Park, where every inch of land is precious, shows the detached status of Wanbao Animation.

   "I heard that Wanbao Animation has thousands of employees?"

   "It seems to be, but a group of people were laid off some time ago, and now I don't know how many people there are!"

   "Look, their gate looks like the iron gate of Yangcun. The security booth is the watchtower of Yangcun, right?"

   "It does look alike!"

  The discussion of the people around made Liu Zida unable to help turning his head to look at the gate that he hadn't noticed when he came.

   Don’t really say…

  The design of this gate is indeed like the iron gate of Yangcun in the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

   Too abstract, right?

  Liu Zida had a black line on his forehead. He really couldn't figure out who came up with the idea to design the entrance of his company like this? Where do you put this anti-wolf?

   "Everyone, welcome to Wanbao!"

  Just as Liu Zida picked up the action camera to take pictures of the Iron Gate of Yangcun, a very familiar voice came from his ear.

  He turned his head to look, and it turned out that Gu Sanshui led a group of executives from Wanbao Animation to greet everyone.

   Is this the real Gu Miao?

  Liu Zida looked at it carefully, and finally determined that this guy looks good in reality, not as handsome as he boasted, but his facial features are still pretty good.

  The most important thing is, Gu Sanshui is so tall?

   It might not feel like just looking at the photos. It was the first time I saw Gu Miao in real life, and many people at the scene exclaimed. I didn't expect Uncle Gu to be over 1.8 meters tall.

   This is very high.

   After all, most of the fans invited here today are minors, and those self-media bloggers are generally only 1.7 meters.

   Standing together, Gu Miao looks very tall, standing out from the crowd!

  While leading everyone to go inside, Gu Miao answered the curious fans' doubts for a long time.

   For example, is there a second season of "Yangcun Guardian"? What projects has Wanbao been working on recently? When will Superman air and so on.

   Everyone has a lot of questions.

  However, this is not a good time for communication. After calming down the excited crowd, Gu Miao arranged for Ma Kui to take everyone to visit the Wolf Castle studio.

  In Wolf Castle Studio, fans saw some behind-the-scenes materials and tidbits of "Yangcun Guardian", and also communicated with the production team members.

   Then in Feiyang Studio, everyone received a limited edition Pikachu plush doll, and listened to the animator explain the production process before and after Xiaozhi won the championship...

  Puppet Studio and Dimension Studio should be the two studios that everyone experienced the most during the visit.

  Because in the puppet studio, everyone experienced the whole production process of "paper-cut animation" and watched a shadow puppet show of "Calabash Brothers".

  In Dimension Studio, everyone put on motion capture suits, and under the guidance of professionals, experienced the magic of motion capture technology.

  In addition, Du Hao also took advantage of this open day event to show everyone a material sample of "Bears of the Lost Treasure".

   There are quite a few media and video bloggers here today. Du Hao showed them, mainly because he wanted to use these media and video bloggers to further expand the influence of "Bears of the Lost Treasure".

   One thing to say, the effect is great!

  These anime bloggers and media reporters couldn’t wait to see the feature film after watching a sample of the material, saying that they would definitely share this movie with fans and audiences when they go back.

   The most boring part of the open day was probably the visit to the president’s office of Wanbao Animation.

   before coming.

  Whether it is an ordinary fan or a media blogger, everyone thinks that there must be many secrets hidden in Uncle Gu's office.

  It was only after I came here that I found out that shit’s secret, in addition to all kinds of dolls, there are game consoles and light novels... a proper fat house e-sports room.

  The unwilling fans even turned on Gu Miao's computer.

   Well, it's confirmed now!

  Uncle Gu really doesn’t do much business, the computer desktop is full of game icons, you call this an animator?

   "Ahem, stop watching!"

  Seeing that everyone's expressions were a bit strange, the president's secretary hurriedly coughed, and under the gaze of everyone, he bravely defended Mr. Gu: "Mr. Gu doesn't usually work here, and he is very busy and has no time to play..."

   "You lied, the game time shown here is 1069 hours!" A child noticed the abnormality and shouted bluffing.

  When everyone heard this, they immediately showed speechless expressions.

  The total duration of any game is more than 1,000 hours, you call this busy? Are you busy clearing the customs and earning all the achievements?

  The jade fragments of the four souls seem to be of different sizes, but this is not important, just mentioning it...
