My Animation Era

  Chapter 56 "Black Heart" Preserved Egg Processing Factory

  When "Sailor Moon" was about to premiere, Gu Miao, who was far away in Jiangchuan, suddenly received a "lawyer's letter".

   "Are they going to sue me?"

"yes!"

  Jiang Keke, who had just returned to Jiangchuan from the capital, couldn't laugh or cry: "To be precise, they want to sue the producer of "The Great War in the Weird World", which is Wanbao Animation."

   "They feel that the broadcast of the animation "Weird World Wars" has greatly damaged the reputation of the members. They demand that we apologize and compensate, and stop broadcasting the animation."

  Waterfalk?

  Gu Miao scratched her head, a little confused, who are these so-called "egg deep processing enterprises"? When did "Battle in the Weird World" offend them?

"that…"

   Ma Kui beeped softly at the side: "I just checked, these companies seem to be mainly selling preserved eggs!"

  Gu Miao: "..."

   No wonder!

  At first, I still couldn’t figure out why the animation of “Battle in the Weird World” with the background of the “underground world” would provoke a lawsuit. After Ma Kui's explanation, he seemed to understand.

   "They were unlucky, too."

   "The Weird World broadcast, especially after the reason for the big change in Hei Dashuai's temperament was exposed, the preserved egg processing company became a big villain in the eyes of the children."

  Jiang Keke explained: "When the children chanted slogans such as "no business, no harm" and "rejecting preserved eggs, start with me", the sales of preserved eggs dropped significantly..."

   Proper and innocent disaster!

  They sang songs while eating hot pot. They neither murdered nor set fire, nor did they sneak around.

   Did Preserved Egg provoke you?

  Jiang Chuan, a dog surnamed Gu, doesn’t mind if he doesn’t eat preserved eggs, and even filmed an animation to smear the processing of preserved eggs, wanting to destroy everyone’s jobs, who can bear it?

  A lawyer's letter is only a means of protest.

  In this way, they expressed their dissatisfaction in a disguised form, and wanted Wanbao Animation to come forward and explain to the children clearly that the preserved egg processing factory is not a bad person.

   What if Wanbao refuses to explain?

  The warning letter from the lawyer may really turn into a "court summons". After all, this matter did affect their preserved egg business.

  What are these...

  After understanding what happened, Gu Miao was numb.

  The "Black-hearted Preserved Egg Processing Factory" in that plot is purely for fun, without any malice. If you have to slander, it's also the fault of the original motivation, and it has nothing to do with him!

  How can you wrong a good person?

   “Compensation is out of the question.”

  Gu Miao shook her head, and gave her own suggestion: "This incident is such a big deal, and it has caused a bad influence on them. I really didn't think carefully about this."

   Losing money is not enough.

   As for the suspension they requested, that's even more impossible. As one of the best works in the Pleasant Goat series, "Battle in the Weird World", how could it be stopped for such a weird reason?

   But I apologize in private, and then clarify to the children, it is indeed what I should.

   After all, I had a brainstorm at the time, and without much thought, I followed the original version and set up a "black-hearted preserved egg processing factory" setting. Thinking about it now, Gu Miao still regretted it.

   Sloppy!

  This setting should not be used.

  In the special chapter of the animation "Battle in the Weird World", the so-called "black-hearted preserved egg processing factory" is a pit, a sinkhole that cannot even be filled with original motivation.

   Of course, maybe they forgot...

  Anyway, this setting is outrageous. If he could do it all over again, Gu Miao would definitely modify the reason for Marshal Hei's "blackening".

  By the way, change the previous plot.

  The special chapter of the weird world is indeed a classic from the perspective of the overall plot and character design. But after the animation was broadcast, Gu Miao still heard a lot of complaints.

  Mainly focus on the early stage of the plot.

  Many children wrote to him or left messages on forums to give feedback. The plot in the early stage of the animation was too "depressed" and "desperate", which made people worry and feel out of breath.

   Marshal Hei is too strong...

  Before the appearance of Superman, Pleasant Goat and the others were still chased and beaten by "villains" most of the time, even if they held bright showers.

  The painting style is also part of the reason.

  The zombie faces of animals "infected" by genetic light, as well as painting elements such as "white eyes" and "black rain", are full of horror atmosphere.

   It is not surprising that children feel depressed.

  Actually, don’t look at the average ratings of the special episode of Weird World, but there are also 3-4 episodes in the middle, and the ratings are very low...

   You can't just look at the average in everything.

  In terms of ratings, Gu Miao has produced the animation with the highest rating and the most popularity so far.

   But there are still many low scores.

  Many reasons for the low score, even Gu Miao found it reasonable after reading it. For example, someone mentioned that the weird world is actually similar to the routine of "changing maps" in Internet articles.

   Isn't it right?

  From the Bee Country at the very beginning, to the Frog Country, Penguin/Rabbit Country, and back to the Green Grassland in the middle, and then to the Chicken Claw Mountain, until the decisive battle returned to the Green Grassland, how many maps have been changed?

but…

   Tucao to Tucao, whether it is a black-hearted preserved egg processing factory, the plot is depressing in the early stage, or the old routine of changing maps, these are all problems that were "exposed" after the animation was broadcast.

  Now I want to change, how can it be so easy?

  After asking Ma Kui to express his attitude to the preserved egg processing company on behalf of Wanbao Animation and express his sincere apology, Gu Miao had an idea.

   Collect these problems exposed after the broadcast, how about making a "refined" version, burning DVD discs and distributing on video websites?

   It's not just the eccentric world.

  Animations that have already been broadcast, and even animations that will be produced in the future, can all be done in this way. Broadcast the TV version first, find out the problems and modify them in time, and then release the refined version through the video website.

   This has two advantages.

  The first benefit is naturally to "correct" mistakes, check for omissions and make up for gaps, making the animation more exciting and perfect.

  The second benefit is that there are "subtle differences" between the online version and the TV version. It will not affect the viewing experience, but will also attract some viewers to "second-swipe".

   Viewers who have watched the TV version will inevitably wonder, what details have been modified in the online version? And viewers who have only watched the online version will also wonder what is different about the TV version?

   Driven by curiosity, they will definitely watch both versions, and the same audience will contribute two plays!

   Isn’t this blood money?

   As for the time-consuming and labor-intensive issue of "two versions", don't worry about it. The modified parts of the online version are just some small details that do not affect "viewing".

  This kind of detail will not affect the plot and characters, it is almost equal to "easter eggs"!

   How time-consuming and laborious is it to set up this kind of easter egg? With fewer animated episodes, it could be done in a few hours.
