My Animation Era

  Chapter 505 Migrant Workers and Conan (for subscription)

  The time came to the end of September.

   As we all know, September-December is always the peak period for major award-giving activities. It is not only the awards season of the entertainment circle, but also the awards season of all walks of life.

  The animation circle is no exception.

  With the arrival of this year's awards season, the popularity of an animation work that has long been over and has gradually left the public eye is quietly picking up.

   "The Story of Avanti"!

   Based on the folklore of the Western Regions, it is adapted and interpreted by puppet animation, jointly produced by Wanbao Animation and China Overseas Film Studio.

  Although it was not very popular when it was broadcast, at least it was not as popular as "Guobao Special Attack" which is currently on the air, and it was also not as good as "Yu-Gi-Oh" which just finished its first round of broadcast not long ago.

  But the nature of this animation has already determined that this will be the most important contestant in this year's awards season.

   Not even one!

  Although colleagues are very speechless, they really can't find any TV animation works that can compete with "The Story of Avanti" in this year's awards season.

   I can only say that there is no suspense.

  The theme advantage is too great...

   This advantage is already so great that no matter how good the other animation works are, no matter how impressive the results are, it is impossible to bridge the gap.

  Perhaps because of this.

  In this year's awards season, apart from Gu Miao and Liang Xiaodong who were very excited, other people in the same industry expressed their lack of interest.

  Don't ask why!

  The question is... Watching Gu Sanshui win the award is more uncomfortable than everyone being nominated and not selected!

   Trophies one after another, award certificates one after another, were brought back to Wanbao by the puppet studio led by Liang Xiaodong one after another, and placed in the honor display cabinet built by Mr. Gu with "a huge sum of money".

   It was also at this time that Gu Miao suddenly realized a problem.

   Conservative!

  When you first ordered a glass display case, it was time to order a larger display case. The current glass cabinet feels too small, and it is estimated that it will be filled with trophies and certificates in a short time.

   "Regret, especially regret!"

   "How much do you think a glass cabinet is worth? It's not short of this money. Why didn't I make it bigger?"

   In front of Mr. Xiong, Gu Miao said very Versailles: "There will be no place to put the trophies at that time, what should I do? How about this? How about I share several trophies and put them in your office?"

  Mr. Bear: "..."

   So angry!

  Why is this person so annoying when he speaks? Isn't it just a few broken prizes, who really thinks it's rare?

   After silently despising Gu Miao for a while in his heart, Xiaoxiong always interrupted Gu Miao's Versailles quotations: "It's alright, alright, stop showing off."

   "You didn't forget what you told me back then, did you? Let me choose a few works on the Beep Comics platform for adaptation..."

   "Never forget, never forget."

  Gu Miao asked curiously: "Why? You picked it so quickly? Tell me, what works did you pick?"

   Bear always comes up with a list.

   Reaching out to take the thin list, Gu Miao picked it up and looked at it, and was immediately startled by Mr. Xiong's eyes on picking out the works.

  I saw the names of three serial comics on the list.

   One of them is "The Tomb Raider Family", which has been popular on the BEEBI comics platform for nearly half a year.

  As for the second and third parts, they come from the same manga author. At first Gu Miao didn't recognize who it was until he saw the titles of "Super Detective Doyle" and "Detective Conan".

  Blanch!

   Are you as cruel?

  On the Beep Manga platform, there are only a few web serial comics with "very potential for adaptation", and they are all picked up by Mr. Xiong.

   Give it all to Mr. Xiong, so is Wanbao Animation still alive?

   "No, no!"

   On the name of the work "Detective Conan", a cross was drawn with a large signature pen. Gu Miao shook her head frantically and said, "I can't give this to you. This is the IP I reserved for Wanbao to shoot for myself."

Just kidding?

  When the original author was still serializing "Super Detective Doyle", Gu Miao hooked up with him and booked the next work, the adaptation plan of "Detective Conan".

  Gu Miao has been eyeing it for a long time.

  The reason why "Detective Conan" has already started to be serialized, and Wanbao Animation has not yet acted, is nothing more than feeling that the time is not ripe.

  He intends to wait for the manga "Detective Conan" to serialize a few more episodes, at least dozens of episodes, before considering animation.

  So this is not negotiable.

  The potential of "Detective Conan" lies here, no matter what Gu Miao says, it is impossible to give up. This has nothing to do with making money or not, it is mainly a matter of "expanding influence".

  Everyone knows the three major "migrant workers comics".

  The Shinigami Naruto Pirates, also collectively known as the "Dead Flame Sea", was a well-known animation big IP in the previous life.

  But "Dead Sea of ​​Fire" is not invincible. No matter at that time or later, Neon was as popular as the works of the three migrant workers, including "Detective Conan".

  Such as "Sailor Moon" and "Doraemon", although they are not included in the ranks of "migrant manga", their influence is still not inferior to that of migrant manga, and even slightly surpassed.

What?

  Why no Dragon Ball?

  Don't make trouble, Dragon Ball and these works are not at the same level for a long time. It's hard to say about animation, at least in the field of comics, Dragon Ball is like a god.

all in all.

  Whether it's for the sake of "Reaper Elementary School Student" or to expand Wanbao's influence, it is impossible for Gu Miao to let go of the comic "Detective Conan".

   Mr. Xiong probably didn't expect that Gu Miao would attach so much importance to this cartoon, and his attitude would be so firm...

   But he doesn't care.

  In his list, the manga "Detective Conan" has the latest serialization time, the shortest length and the lowest popularity, which is not his main goal.

  It's fine if Gu Miao disagrees.

  Anyway, what he wants most is always the right to adapt the animation called "The Family of Tomb Raiders".

"no problem."

   Although Gu Miao is very interested in Tomb Raiders novels and comics, she doesn't pay much attention to them.

   Bear is always willing to ask for it, so give it to him!

   It’s just a comic that became popular because of its “novel subject matter”. To be honest, it’s questionable whether this subject matter will be popular for a few years.

   The same goes for Super Detective Doyle.

   Except that "Detective Conan" was not discussed, Gu Miao readily agreed to sell the animation adaptation rights of the remaining two comic works to "Weixin Venture Capital".

   Oh yes!

  Weixin Venture Capital is the vest investment company founded by Mr. Xiong, whose name comes from his and his wife's names.

  The main business is to purchase the copyrights of major popular IP adaptations, and then entrust them to third parties for production, and then rely on the sale of animation broadcasting rights and derivatives development rights to make profits.

to be honest.

  Intermediaries in the animation industry.

  Don't look at Mr. Bear who bought the copyright of comics, but he doesn't know how to make animations, he only finds third parties to cooperate.

   This is completely different from the Feiyang animation he worked on before. Although both are involved in the animation industry, the nature is completely different.
