My Animation Era

 Followers thrive, and original works thrive!

"Morning with Martin" was already very popular, and there are so many fan-made derivative works, making it even more popular.

certainly!

　　To be said to be the work with the greatest influence among fans, it is definitely not Martin’s Morning.

　　After all, Martin’s Morning is just the animation that is currently in the air, so its popularity is slightly higher. As for some animated fan works, they became popular a long time ago.

 For example, Superman!

 Clark Kent, the superhero from American comics, has always been an evergreen tree in derivative fandom.

 At the moment, there is a very popular online writing genre called chat groups.

To put it simply, the protagonist gets a golden finger in the chat group. The group friends are all kinds of characters from all over the world. By exchanging information resources, they rise all the way...

 “What does this have to do with Superman?”

 Lao Zhang was a little confused, weren't they talking about Superman's terrifying influence? Why did Mr. Gu get involved in a new genre of online writing while we were chatting?

 “Of course it does matter!”

 “Do you know who are generally in this chat group?”

After Gu Miao laughed, she couldn't help but complain: "Superman Clark, the head of Huashanyue, Taoist Master Jiu Shu... these are the regular members of the chat group that can't be avoided in this kind of novel."

 The protagonists of Liu Shui, the iron-clad Superman, Master Yue and Uncle Nine!

To be honest, Gu Miao was shocked when she learned about this incident at first.

what's going on?

It’s understandable for Master Yue and Uncle Jiu. After all, whether they are in the original world or in this parallel world, they have always been supporting characters in online stories.

 How did Superman get in?

If he remembers correctly, domestic online writers mentioned that among the protagonists of American comics, especially in such chat group novels, Iron Man Tony usually has a higher appearance rate.

 The reason is also very simple.

 Comparing to Superman, the Marvel Universe is more well-known. As one of the most popular protagonists in the Marvel series, it is normal for Iron Man to be included as a "frequent member of the chat group".

 But the current situation is...

Superman Clark has replaced Iron Man Tony and has become the favorite group friend of these online writers. Clark is present in nine of the ten chat groups in the world.

 “Ah this?!”

 Lao Zhang was confused and said, “Why?”

He didn't understand how Superman could hang out with people like the head of Huashanyue and Taoist Master Jiu Shu, and then become a regular group member in some kind of "chat group"?

 The painting styles of these are obviously inconsistent!

"Hahaha!"

Lao Zhang's reaction just proved that he didn't like to read online articles, and Gu Miao didn't find it strange.

 He guessed the reason.

There are two main reasons why Superman can replace Tony Iron Man and become a regular member of the online chat group in this parallel world.

 The first reason is that there is no Marvel in this world. The only Mardete comic series that is similar to Marvel is not well-known in China.

On the other hand, Superman, under the operation of Wanbao, has long become the most familiar American comic superhero to domestic audiences, with great popularity and influence!

 As for the second reason...

The Superman IP was won by Wanbao. It is considered a half-domestic IP. People within the company are closer to it than outsiders.

 Based on the above two reasons, Superman Clark is so active in the field of online literature. Almost every "chat group" novel will be published to enhance his presence.

　　More than just chat groups.

 Web novels of the Infinity genre also like to go to the world of Superman to become a monster, and then get some Kryptonian technology or Kryptonian blood from Superman.

 This is a good sign!

The author of the online article likes to write about Superman Clark so much, which proves that the work "Superman" is indeed very popular and has a huge influence.

 Otherwise, if it wasn’t popular, why would people write like this? Why did Clark join the chat group?

"It really is!"

 Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The influence of Superman is indeed exaggerated. The animation has been viewed nearly 10 billion times on the entire Internet!"

 “Does it count as overseas?”

“Definitely! Not counting the number of overseas plays, there are certainly not that many in China alone.”

Shaking his head at first, Lao Zhang quickly added: "It's about 30-70 at home and abroad. Superman is also quite popular around the world."

  Not joking.

Wanbao's remake of the "Superman" animation has almost reached a popularity rate that other animations can't even imagine.

 It is estimated that the number of viewers around the world who have watched this animation is at least 3 billion!

 It’s quite exaggerated and outrageous…

 It can only be said that Superman is worthy of being Superman. Even though he suffered a bit of decline in the past few years, after living his second life in the hands of Wanbao, he is still as powerful as before.

Weller Company's intestines are filled with regret.

Had we known that "Superman" could survive a second life, and that the new generation of audiences still liked Superman so much, we should not have sold this IP in the first place.

Even if it is to be sold, it should not be sold so cheaply, at least it must be sold at a higher price!

 “What’s the use of them regretting?”

Gu Miao was very disdainful: "Supermen were abandoned by themselves, and now they are rescued by us. Isn't this our credit?"

It is undeniable that the Weller Company decades ago, the company that first created the "Superman" work, was really awesome.

 However, over the past few decades, Weiler Company has become overstaffed and internally infested with moths.

This kind of hot chicken company.

Even if Superman had not been sold to Wanbao and they continued to hold it, it is estimated that he would not have survived a second life, let alone be as successful as Wanbao's new version of "Superman" animation.

 With one drink and one peck, everything is decided in advance.

If you fail to seize the opportunity and cause the pearl to fall into dust, can you still blame the treasure for picking it up?

 Speak seriously.

At that time, Weller Company decided to sell "Superman", the price offered by other competitors was not as good as Wanbao!

If Wanbao had not raised the price at that time and Superman had been sold to other companies, it would have been a real low sale, much worse than selling to Wanbao.

 …

New year, new start.

The animations "Morning with Martin" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" have become two peaks that complement each other, making animations of the same period breathless.

 This is a TV animation.

 On the animated film side, the situation is even more complicated...

Fans of "Fuck the Dog" and "Monster Hunt 2" are at each other's throats. One said that the other party was so good at the box office and received good reviews, and the other party said that the other party was such a bad movie that he almost fell asleep in the cinema. .

I don’t know why these two families got into a fight. Anyway, these two movies are fighting for the second place in the Spring Festival box office rankings, and their brains are almost boiling.

What?

 Why fight for second place?

 The reason why we fight for second place is, of course, because we don’t have to fight for first place! "Operation Blue Ocean" is like a towering mountain pressing down on the top spot. Who can compete with it?

If you could sum up this year's Spring Festival in one sentence, it would probably be that Operation Blue Ocean is arbitrary, Gou Lai Fu Wang and Monster Hunt 2 are throwing dirty water at each other...

 As for other movies? Have you ever heard of the story about gods fighting and mortals suffering disaster? If you've heard of it, you should know what it's like to be reduced to cannon fodder in other films.

 The two supreme beings in "Goulai Fuwang" and "Monster Hunting 2" fought to the edge of the universe, even the avenue was wiped out, and mortals could only tremble on the side.

 It sounds strange...

 Goulaifuwang's box office growth is stable, its attendance rate is impressive, and its film schedule is second only to the dark horse "Operation Blue Ocean", but it can't beat "Monster Hunt 2".

 “It’s hard to say, it’s hard to say!”

Guo Hongwei said that the water here is very deep and it is not easy to comment too much. Anyway, there are some rumors, which are not necessarily groundless.

  In any case, when the box office of both movies exceeded 2 billion, all the quarrels and criticisms lost their meaning.

 Wanbao is making a lot of money anyway.

An animated movie with a box office of 2 billion, the production cost has been recovered early, and it can still make a lot of money!

　　After that, it was put on the shelf waiting for the release, and waiting for the online version to be broadcast online.

 In fact, the box office of Goulai Fuwang has been a little weak since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After all, at that time, the audience was taking vacations one after another. It was time to go to work and go to school.

At the same time, after the movie "Dragon Ball: No. 1" was screened in domestic theaters, its results were not as good as Neon's.

 This surprised Gu Miao.

However, after carefully understanding it, he felt that the box office was very reasonable.

 First of all, as an imported film from overseas, Dragon Ball The Movie did not receive a high filming rate.

Secondly, many domestic fans of Dragon Ball do not have the conditions to watch the movie, and many people even do not know that there is a theatrical version of Dragon Ball being released.

This is nothing compared to the neon market.

Over at Neon, I dare not say that everyone knows the news about the release of Dragon Ball: The Movie, but at least six out of ten fans know about it.

 Looking at Dragon Ball fans in China, it would be great if one out of ten knows about it.

But it’s not a big problem!

Seto told Gu Miao that although the box office in China was a bit low and did not reach the expected target, "Dragon Ball: No. 1" has performed well in other overseas regions.

Including the neon box office, this movie will definitely make money, and it will make a lot of money. It will definitely not be worse than "The Dog Lai Fu Wang".

 “Then what are your plans?”

“Will you continue to make the second Dragon Ball movie? Or are you considering other projects, such as Inuyasha?”

 “No!”

As soon as Seto heard InuYasha's name, he quickly denied it: "InuYasha has only been out for a long time, how can it be released so soon?"

“And Inuyasha in our plan, there is no theatrical version, only side stories and short dramas with extra features.”

 “This year we will focus on TV animation!”

Seto said with a smile: "The "LoveLive!" project is the new work we are promoting this year, and I have prepared a lot of new things for this."

 “What’s new?”

Gu Miao asked curiously.

He was not surprised to be the main promoter of the LoveLive! project, because this is the IP he personally selected. It is normal for Seto to choose this to take over "Inuyasha".

 But this is not something new?

Animations like this type of idol development have not been done before in the industry. If I remember correctly, there was an animation called "Idol Singer" that was quite popular before.

 “No, no, no, it’s not just animation.”

After hearing Mr. Gu’s doubts, Seto quickly explained: “We plan to launch a reader-participated mixed-media campus idol project!”

“The planned content includes music singles, TV and radio programs, light novels, comics, animation, games, peripherals and other fields.”

 “Creating a two-dimensional idol?”

"Roughly the same!"

Worried that Mr. Gu wouldn’t understand, Seto tried to describe it in the most concise language: “Let fans participate in it and treat it as a virtual idol project run by a real idol group.”

“We will release the rough character setting, story background and personal introduction through official channels, and then let fans vote to decide the group name.”

“For the corresponding group name, we will later register a trademark, and use this group name to engage in various idol activities, release singles, register members to authenticate official accounts, and establish support colors...”

 After talking about the layout and arrangements of this series, Seto added: "Finally, a popularity vote will be held. The character with the highest votes will become the main character of the team, finalize the production of the first season of animation, and announce his official debut."

 “It’s so complicated...”

 Gu Miao felt dizzy after hearing this, mainly because he had never been exposed to the idol planning content introduced by Seto.

 After all, he is not chasing stars, let alone chasing two-dimensional stars?

 But he understood a little bit.

That is what Seto calls this two-dimensional idol project, which is almost equivalent to the KDA girl group project launched by Riot Games.

 Virtual idol?

Two-dimensional idol!

ˆAlthough the word meanings are very different, in the end they are all virtual products of the same type.

 The general operating logic is similar.

Gu Miao is very interested in this area, not because he is obsessed with two-dimensional paper figures, but mainly because he thinks this kind of project is cool and exciting.

  It would be even better if there was a Chinese character in this group who could “bring his own favorability bonus”!

 For example, Tang Keke?

 “This can have…”

After hearing Mr. Gu’s suggestion, Seto nodded in approval and said, “The Chinese market is huge, and we can definitely add a character from China to the team.”

 “Is this too deliberate?”

Although the suggestion was made by himself, Gu Miao still hesitated after receiving Seto's affirmative reply.

 A neon college idol group, there is actually an international student from China in it?

Although the existence of Tang Keke proved that this thing is indeed feasible, Gu Miao felt that it would not be good to delete any of the characters in the original "LoveLive!".

 “You can add a new person!”

Seto thought it didn't matter. There were already so many people anyway, so it didn't hurt to add one more. A sheep was herding a group of sheep, so why not?

 “Then it’s up to you!”

Since Seto thought it was okay, it was hard for Gu Miao to say anything.

 In the final analysis, he feels that the Chinese market is so big that if you really want to develop, it is completely acceptable to join a Chinese character.

 Increase some sense of identity!

This is just like the appearance of the new character "Tang Coco" in "LoveLive! Superstar!!", which immediately attracted the attention of countless Chinese two-dimensional fans.

Although many people do not admit it with their mouths, they actually care about this in their hearts.

When watching the animation, I unconsciously like Tang Keke more.

 This is a character with "self-favorability bonus". Just because her name is Tang Keke, she can get higher attention.

 Home field advantage is like this!
