My Animation Era

  Chapter 186 Tribute to Lin Xiaotu? (seeking subscription)

Unfortunately!

   Seto misjudged, he seriously underestimated TBS's desire for ratings.

  Whether it's a live-action version or an animation version!

   These days, as long as the title says "Sailor Moon" in big characters, there is no shortage of ratings. TBS, who went to the doctor in a hurry, no longer cares whether the live-action filming is awkward or not.

   Their eyes lit up when they heard "Sailor Moon", and they sent Ikeda to Jiangchuan non-stop to discuss the introduction of the live-action version.

   It just happens that there is love.

   At the beginning of filming the live-action version of "Sailor Moon", Gu Miao specially borrowed a lot of people from the TBS special drama department in order to increase her confidence.

   In the words of Mr. Ikeda.

   "Gu Sang, this is the crystallization of the friendship between Wanbao and TBS! Witnessing our great friendship, you can't just ignore death..."

  The crystallization of friendship?

  In my opinion, this is a "stone"!

  Gu Miao pushed away Ikeda who was pulling at his trouser legs with a look of disgust, and complained, "What the **** are you doing? Two animations in a row hit the street, is this out of your mind?"

   "Gu Sang, don't mention it."

  Ikeda said with a sad face: "TBS is short of money this year! The funds allocated to the animation production department are seriously insufficient, and the superiors also require us to produce finished products as soon as possible."

  Lack of money and time, it is already a great effort to make it like this.

   All I can say is, it deserves it!

  Gu Miao also didn't understand why the huge TBS suddenly fell into a "financial crisis" and couldn't even manage such a thing.

   But this is his private matter after all. As an outsider, he can only complain a few words, but it is not easy to ask anything.

   However, he has an idea.

  If TBS is really short of money and cannot afford to support such a huge animation department, can Wanbao go along with the flow and dig a corner?

   It would be best if it can be packaged!

  The TBS animation production department is quite strong, and it can be regarded as a top production team in the neon animation circle where the strong are like clouds.

  If Wanbao can be recruited, it will definitely greatly enhance the planning and production capabilities of Wanbao Animation.

  But Seto shook his head.

  According to what he said, Gu Miao can give it a try.

  Anyway, TBS is very poor now, and they do have the idea of ​​laying off staff. They were poached by their good brother Gu Sanshui, and they turned a blind eye to it and pretended not to see it.

  But the corner of the wall is not so easy to dig...

  Neon companies generally implement a seniority salary system. The so-called seniority salary system can actually be understood in a popular way: the longer the length of service, the higher the salary and the greater the room for promotion.

  I have worked diligently in TBS for so many years, and the accumulated working years are not a small amount.

  Now Wanbao needs to pay a price for letting people change jobs. It is better to train a fresh graduate directly.

"Too!"

   After thinking about it, Gu Miao realized that this is indeed the reason.

  Compared to the cost of digging corners, this harvest is really not ideal. Instead of poaching people everywhere to engage in "mercenaries", it is better to play the "animator" development game from scratch.

  The two chatted for a while.

  Just agreed that the next time I go to Neon, Ikeda will definitely invite Gu Miao to go to the custom shop, and when I had a long time to learn, there was a knock on the door.

   Du Hao has arrived.

  The dusty Du Hao just came back from outside. Because of the scandal of the Martian actor, he has recently been out on location to re-shoot material.

   Fortunately, it is autumn and winter.

  If it was summer, he would go out on location so frequently, not to mention peeling off a layer of skin, at least his complexion would have to be tanned.

  Gu Miao introduced him.

  When Ikeda learned that the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" has completed reshoots and is about to be broadcast on Huaguo TV, he made a request.

  He wanted to take a look at the film.

   After all, before he came here, he only knew that Wanbao had such a play. But he didn't know exactly how the filming went and whether it met TBS's purchase standards.

  So, at Ikeda's request, Du Hao took the two of them into an internal "screening room" and played the sample that was still in the "rough cut" state.

   "The power of the Moon Prism! Transformation!"

   "I am a sailor suit warrior who symbolizes love and justice, and I will destroy you on behalf of the moon!"

   "Little Rabbit..."

  Compared to the animated version, the live-action version has changed a lot. For example, the name of the character has been adjusted to fit the localization.

  Yue Hare has become Lin Xiaotu!

  Mars became Xiaoqi, and Venus became Sally...

What?

  You ask which idiot named this?

  Uncle Gu warns you! Meals can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately. What is stupid naming? This is clearly a tribute to the "classic". Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.

Ok…

  The translation of the first season of the Taiwanese version of the animation really makes people feel powerless to complain. The Moonlight Fairy really has a sense of age and time travel.

   But this is only the first season.

  The translations of the subsequent Taiwan versions of "Sailor Moon" were actually pretty good. In addition, in that era, many people watched the Taiwan version, not the Liaoyi version.

   Gu Miao was right when she said it was a "tribute".

  Animation cannot be done like this, because the translation is too poor. But the live-action version doesn't matter, anyway, the plot has changed a lot, and the name is not bad.

  He will explain it later.

  The translated name Lin Xiaotu is limited to the "live-action version". Except for the live-action version, the animations are all called Moon Hare, and there will be no indistinguishable problems.

"Not bad!"

  Ikeda's Chinese level is not good enough to distinguish "good or bad translations". What's more, his mother tongue is not Chinese, so it won't feel awkward to listen.

  He felt very good after reading it.

   Judging from this rough cut sample, the live-action version shot by Du Hao not only met his psychological expectations, but even slightly exceeded them.

  The shot is a bit delicate!

   Judging from the various fights and transformations, Wanbao obviously spent a lot of money. The quality of the work is ready to be broadcast on most TV stations.

   "OK! No problem!"

   Ikeda was in a hurry, so after watching a few episodes, he had no doubts.

  He asked Du Hao to complete the post-production as soon as possible, and then send the finished film to TBS for dubbing and dubbing.

   Estimated time for a week?

   Maybe not enough, but not too much. After all, TBS is also very experienced in dubbing. If you are really in a hurry, maybe you can really finish it in a week.

   Du Hao has no objection to this.

  The post-production has actually been completed a long time ago. If it weren't for the sudden accident of the Martian actor, this drama would have aired a long time ago, and it is estimated that it will be finished by now.

  So there is no need to worry about the preparations for this aspect, he has already prepared it.

  After seeing off the contented Ikeda, Gu Miao grabbed Du Hao who was about to run away, and asked him, "Don't leave, I want to ask you something."

"What's up?"

   "Then what... Wanbao Toys, Wanzhibao Toys Factory, opened a branch factory overseas before?"

   "It has been opened!"

  Du Hao nodded and said: "My grandfather opened it at that time, but later it closed due to poor management. What's the matter? Why are you asking this?"

   Once opened, it will be easy to handle!

  Having experience, even if it is a failure experience, is much better than a pure newcomer like Gu Miao.

   That’s all for today, and I’ll continue tomorrow
