My Animation Era

  Chapter 71 Four Maggot Brothers

  【Why is Gu Miao a maggot?

  Before talking about this issue, I must first talk about the difference between other animation directors and Gu Miao.

   First of all, they don't "make shit"!

   Everyone has professional ethics and regards animation production as a "great art". Even if the work is not loved by the world and the ratings are not satisfactory, it will not affect the artistic depth of the work.

   "The audience can't understand, that's the audience's problem, not mine!"

  In contrast to Gu Miao...]

   This is a recently popular statement from a "question and answer" website.

  At first, someone asked: Gu Miao supervised the animation with such high ratings, why was it not recognized by the industry, and even called it a maggot?

   Then there is this answer.

  Actually, this is a kind of "cross-dressing evil". The main object of ridicule is the old man who "doesn't match his morals" and blames the audience for his incompetence, not to ridicule Gu Miao.

   But...

   Well done, who would be happy to be labeled as "Gu Maggot"?

  Ma Kui feels the same way.

   It's fine to scold Mr. Gu, he pretends he didn't hear it. But cursing and cursing, he was also involved, and they were nicknamed "Four Maggot Brothers" by the "Four Heroes of Wanbao"?

   How ugly!

  He, Ma Kui, is just a tool man. He takes the lowest wages to do the dirtiest and tiring work, and he has to suffer the most vicious scolding? It's not fair!

  In order to draw a clear line with Mr. Gu and break away from the "Four Maggot Brothers" group, Ma Kui has been whitewashing himself on the Internet.

It is a pity…

  Not long after his "solo flight" plan was implemented, he was seen through by the wise Mr. Gu, and warned him: The four maggot brothers go together, whoever wants to quit the group is a dog!

"anyway…"

   Gu Miao, who personally put on the pain mask on Ma Kui, scratched her head and asked, "The four maggots have you, me, and Huang Kun. It makes sense, but what happened to Nantong?"

   Isn’t it a domain?

  He, Ma Kui and Huang Kun are "notorious" in the animation circle and it's okay to be unpopular. But Nan Tong is a member of the comic circle, so how could he be scolded?

   "He has to ask himself."

   Ma Kui explained: "Some time ago, this hanging man got into an argument with another cartoonist when he went to a comic salon."

Again.

   If you can’t eat grapes, say grapes are sour!

  Other cartoonists have worked hard to draw more than a dozen volumes of comics, and the sales of all of them are not as high as that of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

  If the teacher "Nan Tong" is really talented, is a top touch in the industry, and the quality of the works is so high that it explodes, then everyone will not be so sour.

  But the problem is...

  Nantong is abstracted from Nima. He majored in computer science in college, and he is not a cartoonist with a professional background at all. The quality of the work is so-so, all thanks to the popularity brought by "Pleasant Goat Animation".

  Others are dying of acid.

  In this case, when he went to a cartoonist party, he always had to be pointed at and made some sarcastic remarks.

  Nantong has a bad temper.

  He was not used to this group of people, so he immediately got into a fight with them. It's hard to say whether there will be a quarrel or not, anyway, the relationship has become tense, and his peers don't like him.

   "It turns out that..."

   After understanding what happened, Gu Miao thought about it seriously, and felt that Teacher Nan Tong was quite innocent.

   Animation is hot, that's animation!

  The manga can’t sell well, and all the credit should go to the animation production team, right? As a comic author, is it too much to divide half of the military medals?

   It's pure embarrassment!

  However, Mr. Nan Tong's painting ability does have a problem.

   When discussing the introduction of "Sailor Moon" animation into China, Gu Miao approached him and asked if he could "control" similar girl-themed comics.

   "No, no."

  Mr. Nan Tong told Gu Miao frankly that he was not good at drawing this kind of "exquisite pig girl" cartoons. Force him to draw, and the result may be a mess.

   "The problem does exist."

   Ma Kui nodded and said: "Different cartoonists have their own merits and styles in themes and styles they are good at creating."

   "The comic company needs more cartoonists who can handle different themes or different styles of painting."

   "Well! I know about this."

  Gu Miao slightly bent her index finger, tapped on the table and said, "For the manga version of "Sailor Moon", I have asked Seto to find a suitable manga artist in Neon."

  This problem is easy to solve.

  After all, the animation comes out first, and then the manga. With the animation as a reference, the difficulty of creating comics is not as high as imagined.

   What's more, Neon is a big country of comics.

  As long as Wanbao can afford the price, mere cartoonists can grab a lot.

  Compared with the manga version, Gu Miao obviously paid more attention to the overseas release of the anime version of "Sailor Moon".

   This is a big deal!

  Many people think that Sailor Moon is a fart, can there be Madoka, Sakura, Mitsumi and Nanoha classics? The two-dimensional old antique in the 1990s, let's lie back in the coffin quickly...

  A person who can say such a thing can only prove that he is a "frog at the bottom of the well".

   "Magic Girl", that is, the animation series of Horse Monkey Shochu, Neon is an absolute exporter and has produced many classic works.

   To be honest...

  There are many magical girl "classic" animations, but there are very few works that truly have the effect of "breaking the circle". Most of the animations failed to get out of the small circle of "two-dimensional".

  Kokura Mitsumi counted half a step to "break the circle".

  Mei Zhan, that is, "Sailor Moon", is the work that breaks the circle in the true sense of getting out of the "small circle" and letting the world know "Magical Girl".

   This is not Gu Miao's embarrassment.

  In fact, the global influence of US war animation can completely compete with the representative "Dragon Ball" series of neon animation.

  Dragon Ball is still stronger.

  But for a teenage manga, it’s already pretty awesome to be able to wrestle with a hot-blooded man like Dragon Ball! Even if it can't be compared in the end, no one will feel that the "American War" is pulling the hips, right?

   Not just East Asia.

   In Europe, America, Africa, South America and other regions, Sailor Moon was also the top animation at that time, and its popularity exploded.

  I heard that someone said...

   Probably in the mid-1990s, the famous Disney had considered remaking the animation "Sailor Moon" into a live-action movie.

   It is unknown whether this rumor is true or not.

   But one thing is certain, that is, in the 1990s, "Sailor Moon" was indeed a mess in Europe and the United States, and its popularity was not lost to the current "superheroes".

  Until now, many people are still deeply obsessed with the "blonde rice ball head" and like the sailor warrior who represents the moon to punish bad guys.

Therefore.

  Gu Miaocai pays special attention to the overseas distribution of "Sailor Moon", especially the two important markets of Europe, America and China.

  The European and American English versions are better.

  The key is domestic, especially the Chinese dubbing. If you don’t pay close attention, there will be jokes like "Lin Xiaotu" and "Moonlight Fairy"...

   Wouldn't you be dumbfounded?
