My Animation Era

  Chapter 158 Follow-up caused by circle of friends (seeking subscription)

  Must be admitted.

  The ending of the first season of the anime "Sailor Moon" hurt a lot of people. Especially those fans who have double majored in manga/animation are even more heartbroken.

  The four fighters of metal, wood, water and fire are all dead, and Xiaowei is also dead.

  The little rabbit who turned into Princess Serenity defeated the evil, resurrected everyone with the silver crystal, and everyone lost their past memories...

   But these are not important anymore.

  When the broadcast of the finale (Part 2) was over, the final audience rating was fixed at 17%. Whether it was Jiangchuan’s Wanbao animation or Kyoto’s TBS, they all fell into a carnival.

   Applause and cheers were endless.

  After nearly a year, the weekly full-length animation "Sailor Moon" with a total of 45 episodes has finally come to an end.

   This is definitely a historic moment for Wanbao Animation, and its achievements are enough to make all those involved in the production of this animation feel proud.

  As the representative of the animation producer and the main supervisor, Gu Miao posted a message on Moments after the ending was broadcast.

   "From the North Pole to the South Pole, from the Eastern Hemisphere to the Western Hemisphere, from a babbling child to a gray-haired old man..."

   "It's a great honor that the story of the sailor suit Sailor Moon can be loved by so many people. Taking this opportunity, let me take stock of the achievements of the animation "Sailor Moon" so far."

   If you don't show off at this time, is it still Gu Miao?

  Jin Yi Ye Xing is not his style of doing things. Gu Miao, who has the same mentality as an "upstart", wants everyone to know how hot he is!

   What's more, this is not an embarrassment!

  People's "Sailor Moon" is really popular, and the results are really good. It is only natural for Gu Miao to brag about it.

  Manga has published more than 10 million copies!

  As of September 2011, that is, one week before the finale of the animation, the animation "Sailor Moon" has been translated into 51 languages ​​and broadcast to more than 140 countries and regions around the world.

  Neon has achieved the best results. I won’t talk about the old-fashioned things such as ratings and comic circulation, but only one thing…

  When the "Sailor Moon" animation theme exhibition was held in July this year, a ticket was fired up to 100,000 yen by enthusiastic fans, and there was no market for it.

   Among the neon young people, especially the female group, the animation "Sailor Moon" seems to make them crazy.

   How crazy?

  During the broadcast of the animation, neon barbershops, big and small, suddenly ushered in a round of "customer flow" peak period, and almost every barber faced the same problem.

  How to use the existing hair dye and hairdressing tools to meet the customer's requirements and create the same hairstyle as "Sailor Moon"?

  And in terms of clothing...

  Specially for young girls, clothing design emphasizes street culture and sense of justice, neon well-known women's clothing brand GIVE. In June of this year, it co-branded with "Sailor Moon" and launched a summer sailor suit.

   Once the summer dress was launched, all major shopping malls sold out of stock in an instant.

  The parent company of the GIVE brand, the stock price has risen for a month, and the CEO of the company is happy to say in the financial report:

   "Next quarter, I will propose to the board of directors to acquire Wanbao Animation and make "Sailor Moon" our exclusive weapon!"

   Well, he actually put it into action.

  But Gu Miao glanced at the acquisition offer he gave, and immediately realized that this guy was just putting on a show for the shareholders, so he ignored him.

   In addition to achieving excellent results in Neon, "Sailor Moon" also achieved outstanding results in other countries.

  Not to mention the dead fat man in North America who married "Sailor Moon" and promoted the proposal to legalize the marriage of virtual characters, even the world-famous "Kaifeng Cuisine" can't sit still.

  They made a "Sailor Moon" joint package!

  Sailor suit hamburger, French fries with a golden crescent moon, fake evening dress...true pasta, does it sound appetizing?

   Good guy!

   Few people may believe it, but this set of calorie packages called "Sailor Moon" is actually selling like a boom, and the number of people ordering has increased several times.

   These are part of the influence of "Sailor Moon". In fact, the achievements of Sailor Moon overseas are far more than that.

   As of June this year.

  As the copyright owner, Wanbao Animation has earned more than 300 million US dollars in revenue from various overseas countries and regions through the business of "IP authorization".

   Please note that this is only the income of the first half of the year, and the statistics for the second half of the year have not yet been released.

and…

  The income from the Neon region is directly owned by the Wanbao (Neon) division. Including this part, the revenue generated by "Sailor Moon" this year must be at least 1 billion US dollars.

   It's scary!

   You must know that Gu Miao values ​​the IPs "Dragon Fighter" and "Pigman" that Gu Miao valued more, and even spared no effort to cultivate them.

   The answer sheet submitted by "Sailor Moon" is enough to disdain the entire industry!

   As expected...

  Gu Miao's report card posted in the circle of friends received a lot of likes from friends in the circle. After the screenshot was sent out, it also aroused the exclamation of many colleagues.

   Domestic animation exchange group.

  When Mr. Xiong took a screenshot of Gu Miao's circle of friends and transferred it to the group, the originally peaceful group chat instantly became 99+.

   "WC! Really or not?"

   "The income of one billion US dollars is converted to six or seven billion. How much is that? How many animations can you make?"

   "The profit should not be that much. After all, no tax or cost is deducted, but it is also very scary!"

   "Why don't you give out a red envelope to make everyone happy? @客水水水"

   "Is it true that beautiful girl animation makes so much money?"

  Seeing the report card posted by Gu Miao, everyone in the group became very calm. Especially those who have not yet determined the direction of the "new work", they immediately have imaginations.

  The monk can touch it, but I can't?

  Since the theme of magical girls is so profitable, why not try to create a work to test the market situation?

  Seeing that everyone seemed to attribute the success of "Sailor Moon" to the rise of "themes", Gu Miao, who was diving, hurriedly came forward to explain.

  “Magic girl is a very good animation theme, but I don’t recommend everyone to follow suit.”

   How about Magical Girl?

   It must be good! There are countless excellent works born on this theme, and the effect can be said to be comparable to "Reincarnation in Another World".

   But it is not a good thing to get together to follow suit and engage in magical girls collectively.

  How did zombie movies die?

  What kind of subject matter is popular, and if everyone gets together to engage in this subject matter, the final result can only be that everyone’s job is ruined and the subject matter becomes stink.

  Gu Miao was telling the truth.

   Everyone who can be stimulated, how can you listen? Although they said that Director Gu was right, they should treat this matter calmly...

   But in fact, more than one person has decided to change the theme of the new work to "Magic Girl", intending to test the waters.
