My Animation Era

  Chapter 208 Five major production teams (for subscription)

  About the "Quiba" project...

  To be honest, Gu Miao really didn't think about how to deal with it. It is definitely not appropriate to directly enter the limbo, after all the movies have been released, and there are also a group of regular fans.

   Continue to make movies, shall we?

   Then there is a bit of "injustice" attribute!

  In this IP series, the first movie can still be cleaned up with the lack of "publicity". If the second and third movies continue to hit the street, how should they be washed away?

  In the final analysis, it is not that Quiba is not suitable for movies, but that his foundation is too shallow.

  If there are a few TV animations and a few single-book comics as a foreshadowing, and then the movie is released, the box office performance may be much better. There is no foreshadowing, and it goes directly to the big movie, which is purely overconfident.

   Give a simple example.

  Everyone knows that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" Zodiac series movie was almost the best box office in the domestic animation industry back then.

  The latecomer "The Bears" series is even known as the "Bear at the Box Office". Every big movie can beat a lot of New Year's movies.

  Then here comes the problem...

  If "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested" did not have the popularity foundation laid by TV animation and the fans accumulated by TV animation, if they directly released big movies, would they still be able to cut such an astonishing box office?

   I'm afraid it will be difficult, right?

   It's not that Gu Miao deliberately found fault, but the fact is that without TV animation to lay a foundation of popularity and attract fans... An animated film like "Quiba" is really difficult to cut the box office.

  Nezha? The return of the Great Sage?

   Please!

  Although there are no TV animations in these two films, the themes, protagonists and stories chosen by them are mythical characters that are well-known in China and have "countless fans".

  What is Quebec?

  It’s fine if there’s no TV animation, but it’s still a solid original world view and background characters. Is that okay?

"How about this…"

   Facing Director Hou's questioning eyes, Gu Miao murmured: "We won't shoot the movie for now, let's go back and make two TV animations to accumulate popularity."

   When the popularity has accumulated enough, it is not too late to consider restarting the "Quiba" movie plan.

   Forget it now!

  Even if Wanbao really wants to make a movie, there are still a lot of choices such as "Sailor Moon", "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Happy Baby".

   "Quiba" is not on the list.

  Maybe there will be a big movie "Quiba 2" in the future, but after this, I can't tell which year it will be.

  Ten years later?

   Or twenty years later?

   Shaking her head slightly, Gu Miao decided to give up this unrealistic idea for the time being, and concentrate on doing a good job in the TV animation business.

   After all, TV animation is the main business.

  The theatrical version of a big movie is at most a sideline business, or a sideline business that doesn't get much attention. It's fine for HAC to be bored, if he really wants to go all out, then unless Gu Miao's brain is flooded.

  …

   Feiyang Anime has not changed its name.

  Just under the operation of Gu Miao, the original four teams of Feiyang Animation were integrated into two animation production teams.

   At the same time, Feiyang Animation also changed from a company to Feiyang Animation Studio.

   It's a downgrade.

  But the brand of "Feiyang Animation" has been retained, just like the starting point of Gu Miao's business - Wolf Castle Studio, will remain in the form of a studio until Wanbao goes bankrupt.

  Feiyang Animation, which has been integrated, has two production teams with as many as 143 people, directly led by production director Hou Bin.

   Mainly responsible for the operation of "Haiwa" and "Quiba" series, as well as the animation production of "Pokemon"...

   That's right!

  Gu Miao did what he said, since Director Hou chose to stay, he handed over the production and development of the "Pokémon" animation series to him.

   This can be regarded as "stabilizing" the morale of the army.

   With the extensive influence of the "Pokémon" game, it will definitely be popular after being adapted into animation.

   Feiyang Animation Studio joined the Wanbao system, and with the help of this work, it has successfully established its reputation and ushered in a good start.

   By the way!

Up to now, within Wanbao Animation Company, there are six major production teams including Wolf Castle Studio, Lightning Studio, Demon God Studio, Pigman Studio, Feiyang Animation Studio and the "Sailor" Studio far away in Neon. .

  The total number of people exceeded 700!

   This is an astonishing scale. Let alone the country, even if you look at the world, it can be called "strong soldiers and strong horses".

  But Jiang Keke believes that there are multiple factions within the company, which is not conducive to future development.

If you can…

   Now there are six major production teams. If the company continues to expand and develop, it will add more teams, which will undoubtedly weaken the company's production strength.

  Because the "strength" is too scattered.

  Gu Miao agrees with this view. It is true that there are too many internal factions in Wanbao Animation. With the increase in the number of employees, it is indeed necessary to "simplify" it appropriately.

   Don't get me wrong, this is not layoffs.

  He just wanted to integrate some studios, so as not to have too many factions, which would lead to a big tail in the later stage and weaken the production strength.

  How to integrate it?

  First of all, Wolf Castle Studio and Feiyang Animation Studio...

  These two studios, one is the founding father of Wanbao, and the other is "Wang with a different surname". It is impossible for anyone to integrate these two studios.

  So in Gu Miao's plan, these two will not move. According to the current plan, they can develop and grow honestly.

   Then Lightning Studios…

   This is the studio that Gu Miao set up independently with a part of people specially for the production of the series of animations of "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line".

  As the animation series of "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line" is declining day by day, there is no need for Lightning Studio to continue to keep it.

   After discussion.

  Gu Miao decided to incorporate "Devil God Studio" into it, keep the "Lightning" signboard, and focus on "sports and machinery" animations.

  The original Pigman studio was renamed "Dimension" studio, focusing on "3D" animation series, which is also the focus of Wanbao Animation's future development.

   As for the sailor studio in the Neon branch, Gu Miao thinks it can be kept, and it focuses on animations with themes such as "Magic Girl, Transformation, and Love".

  The six major teams became the five major teams.

   Except for Wolf Castle Studio and Feiyang Animation Studio, which did not have a clear "theme direction", the other three teams have their own creative goals and directions.

  As for Feiyang Animation, Gu Miao intends to let them be the main force of the "adaptation direction" animation, no matter whether novels, comics or games, they can be in charge.

   "What about Wolf Castle Studio?"

  Huang Kun asked curiously: "Is it in charge of the original animation business?"

"yes!"

  Gu Miao nodded and explained: "In the future, the original animation part can be produced by Wolf Castle Studio."

  The five major teams each have their own responsibilities.

  Although from the perspective of subject matter and division of fields, Gu Miao is more inclined to his son Wolf Castle Studio and gave the biggest piece of fat, but no one else has any objections.

  If you have an opinion, we dare not mention it!
