My Animation Era

  Chapter 39 Unpleasant Literary Plays

  Toy sales are booming.

  Only two days after the animation was aired, Wanbao Toys has sold more than 500,000 remote control cars, an average of 250,000 a day.

  Based on the ex-factory price of 68 yuan per vehicle, the sales of the whole vehicle alone have exceeded 34 million, and the net profit is expected to be no less than 12 million.

  Equivalent to winning a lottery ticket a day!

  This is only the sales of complete vehicles. Don’t forget that the sales of accessories for Raiden remote control cars are not low. The sales of this piece should be able to reach about 10 million.

   It wasn’t originally this high.

  But Gu Miao had an idea, and added a so-called "Lei Sudeng driver's license" when the remote control car accessories were released, which caused the sales to take off instantly.

   May I ask which child can refuse the temptation of "driver's license"?

"Hahaha!"

   After secretly calculating the accounts in the office, Gu Miao's face twitched with a smile.

  The total investment in the first season of "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" animation, including various outsourcing teams, is about 15 million, and the first round of broadcasting rights was sold for more than 5 million.

  The remaining 10 million yuan was almost fully earned back in just two days after the animation aired. Assuming that the sales of toys can be stabilized for two months without falling, the final revenue will definitely exceed 100 million.

   It's a money grab!

  In addition to the high-risk and high-reward industry such as finance, I am afraid that there is only business that is written into the criminal law, which is more profitable than this.

  No matter when, women and children earn the best money. This sentence is indeed a wise saying.

but…

   Lei Sudeng's peripheral derivatives are selling very well, and the short-term income has completely exploded in "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". This is certainly something to be happy about, but it will not last.

   One year? Or half a year?

   No one knows how long this "remote control car" craze will last. The only thing that is certain is that this thing cannot continue to be popular.

  After all, children all have a common nature, that is, they love the new and dislike the old.

  How long the remote control car can be popular depends on the popularity of Lei Sudeng's animation broadcast, and how long it can last. Judging from the current situation, the animation performance is still quite good.

   The ratings fluctuated slightly.

  When the first four episodes were aired, it happened that Lingfeng Lingyun first came to the Lei Sudeng Club to participate in the "lap test" to clear Meng Gao of the "thief" suspicion. The whole process was full of exciting competition plots, so the ratings were not bad.

  From the fifth episode, the plot entered the "literary drama" where Li Yueming had conflicts with his parents and Meng Gao left. The ratings dropped back to four points immediately.

   Until the seventh episode, after a new game started, the ratings rose back to five points again...

  The production team was speechless.

   After a long time, it turns out that the audience is not interested in literary dramas, and they don't want to watch the grievances and hatred between the protagonists. Apart from the competition, the most favorite thing to watch is the competition!

   But what if you know the reason?

  All kinds of remote control car races, although the main plot of this animation, can’t always talk about the races, not the stories before and after the races.

  Is it true that the chorus part of a song sounds the best, so there is no need to sing the previous verse part?

   Could it be that the plot of the wedding night in a novel is the most exciting, the author doesn’t have to write other plots, is every chapter a wedding night?

   That definitely won't work.

  So, even if the animation production team knows that the literary and drama parts are not pleasing and will lead to fluctuations in ratings, they will still do it again.

  No way, there must be literature and drama.

  Wanbao Animation Company felt nothing about the ups and downs in the ratings of "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line", and the TV station also thought it was normal.

  Only people in the industry can't understand...

  They had great expectations for the new work of Gu Miao, the "father of Pleasant Goat", and felt that Lei Sudeng should be an "ambitious" work.

   After all, Pleasant Goat is too successful!

   Everyone knows that Gu Miao, who has become one of the top animation directors in China with the masterpiece of Pleasant Goat, must have the ambition of "reaching a higher level" in his next work.

  The results were astonishing.

  When they turned on the TV with anticipation and heard the theme song "Flash, Flash, Come on", their expressions were slightly disappointed.

   But it’s okay, it’s just a song of saliva.

   As the saying goes, a bad movie comes out of a divine comedy, there are many bad songs in a divine drama, and the theme song is ugly, so it doesn't mean that the feature film is not exciting enough. So they endured it, and then looked down...

   After seeing the performance effect of just over 10 frames per second, which is about equal to that of a PPT, and the drawings of characters as rough as elementary school students' graffiti, everyone was stunned.

   What is this thing?

  The budget is small and the construction period is short. These are all understandable, but you can unify the style of painting anyway?

  The characters are drawn so rough, like an animation just unearthed in the last century. As a result, as soon as the screen was turned, it was the turn of the remote control car to appear on the stage. The paintings became more and more exquisite, and even the frame rate increased visibly to the naked eye.

   Gan!

   Don't spend your funds in weird places! Is there any animation like this? Who is the main character?

  Bullshit ambitious work!

  The more everyone watched, the more disappointed they became, and even began to doubt this animation. Is the chief director really the "Father of Pleasant Goat" Gu Sansui?

  This is too much.

   No wonder the ratings are so low, not even a fraction of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

   "But... No matter how low his ratings are, they are higher than our animation!"

  I don’t know who it is, but after posting this sentence in the industry exchange group, the [Domestic Animation Exchange Group], which had been chatting with 999+ messages in the group, fell silent instantly.

  Wanbao—Gu Shuishui: "Haha, so everyone chatted so much? Just saw the ratings and I fainted from laughter, and I just woke up now..."

  The hanging man is also in the group?

  Seeing the bubbling speech of the master, the entire chat group suddenly panicked. The withdrawal message of the withdrawal message and the continuation of the dive should be treated as if nothing happened.

  Only a few people, including Jiangchuan Children's Director Wang and Feiyang Animation's President Xiong, immediately sent a sentence of "Congratulations, congratulations" after Gu Miao made a fuss.

  Let’s not talk about the comments in the group for now.

  In fact, Gu Miao is the person who thinks that the production performance of "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" is disappointing. He is the one who broke the bottom line of the industry again, and there is also a highly respected senior in the animation industry.

  He said something.

   Basically, he was very disappointed in Gu Miao.

  The production level of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" can also be explained by insufficient funds and limited manpower. But under the premise of being rich and talented, the "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line" he made is completely a piece of shit.

right…

  In addition to Gu Miao, the main target of the old seniors' criticism is the young audience. It is said that their generation is not as good as the previous generation, and the shit-like Lei Sudeng animation can cut five points in ratings. Is it popular to criticize ugliness now?

   I have to say that the old senior is worthy of being an old senior, and his consciousness is high.

  It’s an old age, not at home to take care of grandchildren to enjoy retirement, but still pay attention to the development of the industry, dare to stand up and speak out, this responsibility is worthy of praise.

   Unfortunately, times have changed!

   Seeking collection monthly ticket support~!
