My Animation Era

The joining of Master Cao complements Wanbao Animation's long-standing weakness in the animation soundtrack episode.

we can even say……

After that, the soundtrack episodes of Wanbao Animation not only jumped directly to the top level in China, but also ranked among the best in the whole of Asia.

Don't be surprised!

After all, Master Cao is a veteran who has been in the industry for many years. He has brought many apprentices and has a small team of his own. This is normal, right?

And what surprised Gu Miao the most was that Master Cao's connections were too good.

His arrival has brought Wanbao the most intuitive change, not just the soundtrack episode. Even original painters, screenwriters, photographers and art designers, he has old acquaintances.

On his first day at work, when he learned that Gu Miao was worrying about "recruiting people", he immediately submitted a list of more than 30 people.

In his own words.

The old man has been in the industry for so many years, maybe he can't do anything else, but he has a lot of friends! This list is full of reliable acquaintances. If you give my name, I guarantee that they will follow you.

"All I can say is, it's awesome!"

Ma Kui is worthy of being the inheritor of Sichuan opera's face-changing intangible heritage. He was lukewarm to Master Cao before, but he turned into a dog in an instant: "Old senior is indeed an old senior, this professional ability is really impressive!"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "Why is he a master, but you are just a little bastard, do you understand now?"

"Yes yes yes, mine, mine."

Ma Kui sincerely admitted his mistake: "But Mr. Gu, we have invited Master Cao here, so we can't let him be idle, can we?"

yes!

A salary of one yuan is also a salary. Now that you have received the money and entered the job, you have to work.

But the problem is...

Now Wanbao Animation, apart from the still-produced "Rainspeeder Lightning Crossing the Line 2", there are no other projects that require soundtrack episodes?

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it.

Suddenly, he thought of a great idea.

"Animation music compilation?"

Master Cao, who was called to attend the meeting, after listening to Gu Miao's introduction, asked with a puzzled look on his face: "You mean to combine the theme song, episode and background music of an animation and release a separate music album?" ?”

"Yes, animation music album."

Gu Miao has a well-thought-out plan.

This model may be unfamiliar to domestic audiences. But in foreign countries, especially in countries and regions with perfect music copyright protection, this kind of "movie and animation theme music" album is not uncommon.

Especially neon!

In the two-dimensional animation country of Neon, let alone animation works. Even if it is a successful Galgame game, it will launch a special "Music Special Edition/Special Code" for sale.

This is a very mature business model!

To put it simply, if an animation is popular, its music is also valuable, and can be sold separately in the form of "album" or "special gift".

It can also be regarded as expanding the source of income.

Otherwise, relying on "TV" broadcasting alone, some animations really can't even recover the cost.

"You can give it a try!"

Master Cao nodded and said, "But which animation should we make first? "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"? Or "Dragon Fighter"?"

"Let's play "Dragon Fighter"!"

Gu Miao explained: "It just so happens that "Dragon Fighter" continues to be popular, and the popularity of animation is relatively high. At this time, the release of a music special can also feed back the animation."

"sure, no problem."

Under Gu Miao's guidance, Master Cao quickly found his job direction, led the newly joined Wanbao's soundtrack team, and began to produce the "Dragon Fighter" animation music special.

And on the other side.

Gu Miao was not idle either. Although "Dragon Fighter" animation rating broke seven and became the most popular TV animation work this summer, there is one thing that must not be forgotten.

He is also the main supervisor of the animation "Sailor Moon"!

In the 25th episode aired last week, Kino Makoto, who has excellent cooking skills and said that he looks like her ex-boyfriend Sailor Jupiter when he saw a handsome boy, made his debut.

So far, except for the mysterious "Sailor Venus", the first four fighters in the animation, that is, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, have all appeared.

In fact, Venus is not the latest to appear...

On the contrary, Venus was the first to wake up and the first sailor soldier to appear on the scene. It's just that she has been fighting alone as Sailor V (Sailor V), and others don't know it.

In fact, the plot has developed to this point, and almost all the five Sailor Moon have shown their faces.

The story after that is roughly...

Dichangwei fell into the hands of the Dark Kingdom, and Xiaotu awakened the memory of the "Moon Princess" in his previous life. With the help of other Sailor Moon, he fought the final battle against the Dark Kingdom.

It's time for a knife!

Although the old version of "Sailor Moon" animation has been greatly changed compared to the original manga by Naoko Takeuchi, one point is still quite restored.

That is, the character dies as soon as he says he wants to die!

Because of the "Silver Crystal" bug, coupled with the outrageous "past life and present life" setting in the original book, it is very common for "Sailor Moon" to die.

Needless to say, supporting roles, if you should get a lunch, you will get a lunch, and one more episode is considered a kindness of the screenwriter.

As for the protagonist, he cannot escape death.

The ending of the first season of the old animation, to put it bluntly, is called "miserable victory", but to put it bluntly, it is "destroyed" by the villain.

All the sailor soldiers except Xiaotu were killed in battle, including the male lead, Dachangwei, who also died in Xiaotu's arms at the end.

This is simply the shadow of childhood!

Gu Miao still remembers that when he saw Dichangwei said to Xiaotu "be an ordinary girl in the future and find a great boyfriend" before he died, his tears couldn't be held back instantly.

Maybe at that moment...

He has always loved Xiaotu and hated Dichangwei, he finally untied the knot in his heart, and wished the couple from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, many people do not know.

The finale of the first season of the old animation, that is, the last two episodes, is actually the "original" plot of the animation production team.

Is this original?

Gu Miao couldn't give an accurate answer, he could only say that for him when he was a child, the ending of "group destruction" was too impressive.

Even now that he is an adult and his mental age is over forty, every time he thinks of this ending, he still feels uncomfortable.

Too cruel!

Don't look at "Sailor Moon" that launched many TV animations in the follow-up, and the plot is even more varied, but Gu Miao still thinks that the ending of the first season of the old version is the most abusive plot.

So here comes the problem!

Since the ending of the first season is so cruel, it can be regarded as the lingering shadow of childhood that countless people can't get rid of. It is an epic "sword" that tricked ignorant boys and girls into tears.

If there is a chance to do it all over again, will Gu Miao choose to make up for the regret and change this "painful" ending?
