My Animation Era

  Chapter 13 Is someone following suit?

  Jiangchuan has a headhunting company.

  After entrusting them with the task of expanding the production team's recruitment, Gu Miao quickly recruited a group of experienced animation talents who have been in the industry for many years with high salaries.

   Wolf Castle Studio has stood up!

  In the past, there were more than a dozen people with seven or eight guns. The office space was a few low-cost rented private houses.

   Now it's different.

  Director Gu not only brought crooked tricks, but also dragged Italian cannons. Everyone moved into a spacious and bright office building, using top-level hardware facilities. Isn’t it easy to build a safe county?

   "Yo Ho!"

   "Xiao Gu, are you getting rich? Look at this office, it's bigger than mine... and there's a pot of Clivia? It's really decadent." Director Wang said contemptuously while looking at Gu Miao's office.

  Gu Miao did not speak.

  He finally understands that this hanger will only put on a show for people he doesn't know well, but once he gets acquainted with you, he will immediately start acting strange.

   It’s no wonder that after so many years, they didn’t even get a deputy director. The leaders of Jiangchuan TV Station really know people.

   This is a black sheep!

   "You are the senior leader of the TV station now. If you are not in charge of the TV station, what are you doing here?" Gu Miao asked curiously.

   "Of course I have something to do with you."

  Talking about business, Director Wang became serious in an instant, and said with a little hesitation: "The national ratings of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" have already broken eighth."

"Ok, I know."

  Gu Miao has also heard about this. After all, this rating not only beats all animations, TV dramas and second-rate variety shows in the same period, but is also a proper candidate for the annual ratings champion.

  The reason why it is a candidate, not an award in advance, is that in the first half of the year, there was an anti-Japanese TV series that also broke eight.

   "Snow Bear"!

   This work is hailed as another classic anti-war TV series after "Bright Knife". After it was broadcast, the response was enthusiastic and the ratings were quite amazing.

  Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf has excellent ratings, but compared to this kind of TV series, it is still not interesting.

   But this is only temporary.

  How many episodes of "Snow Bear" are there? The first part of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has 530 episodes, and the ratings are not catching up now, but it doesn't mean that it won't catch up in a while.

  Director Wang thinks so too.

  Both he and the director believe that with the continuous popularity of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the follow-up ratings are very likely to break through the 10-point mark.

   This is an amazing achievement.

   TV series will release a blockbuster every year, but what about animation? How many years has it been since the industry has seen an animation work with ratings breaking 10 points?

   It was because of this thought that Director Wang appeared in Gu Miao's office to communicate with him about the production plan for the second part of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

  He also wants to continue investing.

   But any normal person will have similar thoughts. After all, he had tasted the sweetness, how could he give up so easily?

  Unfortunately, Gu Miao refused.

   "Director Wang, from my personal point of view, I am very grateful for your trust at that time, which helped me a lot."

"but…"

  Interested, never compromise.

  Gu Miao is not an ungrateful person, he will always remember Director Wang's "benevolence of supporting and supporting" back then. If there is a need in the future, he will definitely help.

  Jiangchuan TV Station is a state-owned enterprise after all!

  Since it is the property of the public, it should be done properly, and no one will take advantage of anyone else. No matter how good his friendship with Director Wang is in private, it is impossible to give in on this matter.

  Master Wang knew clearly.

  The reason why the director sent him to talk about this matter is because he valued the friendship between him and Gu Miao, and wanted to play a card of affection.

  If Gu Miao doesn't eat this set, then forget it.

  Anyway, he is just the deputy head of the station who receives a dead salary. Even if the matter is negotiated, he will not get a penny more. There is no need to make the two of them turn against each other for this matter.

   "Okay, there is no righteousness in buying and selling."

  Director Wang said with a smile: "However, you have to give Jiangchuan Children's Channel a discount for the first-round broadcasting rights of the second part of Pleasant Goat!"

"no problem."

  Gu Miao didn't mind.

  Even if Director Wang doesn't mention this, he will know what to do when the time comes. Other TV stations can charge as much as they should, but Jiangchuan Children's Channel will break the bones!

   After all, they are old friends.

  After talking about business affairs and making an appointment to have hot pot together on Saturday, Director Wang was about to stand up and say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something and turned to Gu Miao and asked, "By the way, have you followed the news from Zhong Hai?"

"no, what happened?"

   "Then you should pay attention!"

  Director Wang explained: "As far as I know, there is an animation company in Zhonghai, which seems to be working on a work similar in style to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"."

  Follow the trend?

  After sending off Director Wang, Gu Miao quickly found relevant information through the portable Internet.

  《Princess Cat and Prince Mouse》

  From the name to the content, this work is full of traces of poor imitation. It is not difficult to see that its producer is quite smart.

  Seeing the popularity of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", I immediately realized that the story setting of "animals that are natural enemies love and kill each other" definitely has the potential to explode, so I came up with the "cat and mouse" combination.

   This is a classic among classics.

  There is "Black Cat Sheriff" in China, and "Tom and Jerry" abroad. When it comes to the classic "natural enemies" in animation, the combination of cat and mouse definitely ranks first.

   By the way!

  The combination of cat and mouse is not only strong in "doubles", but also "singles", and is also a ruthless character that should not be underestimated in the animation industry.

  Garfield, Doraemon, Shuke Beta, Mi Lao... Forget it, I can't mention this, in short, the combination of cat and mouse is right.

   Can think of using the combination of cat and mouse to fight against the combination of "wolf and sheep", at least this is worthy of praise.

but…

  How does it actually perform?

  Although this animation has not been aired yet, no one knows how well it is produced, but Gu Miao guesses that it is probably another "Haiwa"-style tragedy.

   This group of people only saw that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was rough in production but popular all over the country, and thought that it would be enough if they had hands, but they never thought about a core problem.

  Behind the crude pictures of Pleasant Goat, there are one after another fantastic and hilarious storylines!

  It can be said that the plot is the highlight.

   There is a balance in this.

  If the plot is too deep, the children will not be able to understand it; if it is too shallow, the children will find it boring.

   Can’t grasp the balance of the plot, no matter how exquisite the original painting is, how smooth the fighting is, or even how good the music is, it’s all a waste of time.

  Gu Miao doesn't think that "The Cat Princess and the Mouse Prince" can do this perfectly.

after all…

  They really want to have this kind of ability. As for following the trend of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", is it unknown in the industry?

   There will be another update later, please collect it~!
