My Animation Era

Because the "Sailor Mars" actor exposed black material, which seriously affected the IP and the character's reputation, the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" decided to postpone the broadcast.

How long the delay will be is yet to be determined.

But at least one thing is certain, that is, within this year, the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" will not be broadcast.

The ancients said: Blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly!

Gu Miao had just finished dealing with the aftermath of the live-action version of "U.S. War", and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his silly apprentice Xiao Guo brought another piece of bad news.

The animation "Happy Baby" may not be able to become the first animation to be broadcast on the prime time of the comprehensive channel of the provincial satellite TV.

the reason is simple……

According to news from CCTV, they will set up a program called "Animation Paradise" on CCTV's comprehensive channel at 18:00 in the afternoon.

As the name suggests.

Everyone calls it "Animation Paradise". If animation is not broadcast, is it broadcasting TV series or animal world?

Director Wang looked very depressed.

Originally, he had already thought about it. When Gu Miao's "Happy Baby" was finished, he would set up an "Animation World" theater in the prime time of Jiangchuan Comprehensive Channel, which would specialize in broadcasting animations.

He will be the first to eat crabs!

It turned out to be fine...

The crab was eaten by CCTV, and he couldn't even drink soup. If he went to the "Animation World" theater, he might be ridiculed as a "follower dog".

"Don't say that!"

Gu Miao comforted her softly, "CCTV is at six o'clock in the afternoon, which is not prime time. If you set up an animation world at eight o'clock, there will be no conflict."

One is Animation Paradise, the other is Animation World; one is at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the other is at 8 o'clock in the evening. How can you say follow the trend?

to be honest.

CCTV started this animation paradise, in fact, it wanted to cater to the "teenagers" audience, broadcasting animations during school hours to earn ratings.

But the six o'clock file is not the "golden file" in the traditional sense of the TV industry after all.

This is different from the nature of the eight o'clock file!

So from Gu Miao's point of view, although this incident has affected their plans, the impact is not particularly large.

After all, there was a full two hours difference between eight o'clock and six o'clock!

The children can go home from school in the afternoon, watch CCTV's animation paradise first to satisfy their cravings, then take a look at "simulcast news" during dinner time, and then watch "animation world" at 8 o'clock in the evening to have fun before going to bed.

"That's what I said, but I always feel very uncomfortable."

Director Wang pursed his lips and sighed: "Animation Paradise? Animation World! The two theaters are next to each other, and their names are so similar, it is inevitable that they will be picked out for comparison."

That's CCTV!

It's not that Director Wang doesn't have self-confidence, he wouldn't be so discouraged in any provincial TV station.

But when I think of CCTV, and it is a comprehensive channel of CCTV...

Is there still a way out?

Gu Miao could understand Master Wang's grief and indignation. After all, no one expected that CCTV, which has always been serious, would be so bold as to create an "animation" theater on the integrated channel.

But from the perspective of an animation company and an animation producer, Gu Miao thinks this is a good thing.

CCTV is no ordinary media.

Their move to set up an "animation paradise" on the integrated channel may seem inconspicuous, but there may be hidden secrets behind it.

"Is this sending a signal?"

Gu Miao thought about it: "The animation subsidy policy was axed before, and now it's doing this again. Could it be that..."

Gu Miao has no political sense.

But he is not stupid. Judging from the recent policy changes, domestic animation seems to be facing a "winter" and is about to collapse, but this may also be a wave of cleansing on the eve of the "dawn"!

"possible."

Director Wang agreed: "I actually know something inside, but I can't tell you. Anyway, you should remember that no one wants to suppress domestic animation. On the contrary, everyone hopes that domestic animation can rise."

oh? !

There is a deep meaning in these words!

Director Wang is worthy of being a person in the system, and he speaks with a level. In just two sentences, Gu Miao has already foreseen the market environment in the next few years.

Wanbao had to prepare early.

Regardless of whether domestic animation can rise, at least this is an opportunity to develop and grow.

In plain language, the next "market outlet" is coming.

As long as you can stand above the wind, even if you are a pig, you can take advantage of the wind to fly and become the "flying pig" that everyone is looking forward to.

To be honest, Gu Miao wanted to be this pig!

But he didn't know when this outlet would appear, and in what form it would come. So after some consideration, he decided to continue "enrollment expansion".

No matter what the future holds, if you recruit more people to reserve vitality, your ability to seize opportunities will definitely be higher than others.

"Set a small goal!"

After sending Director Wang away, Gu Miao called Ma Kuijiang, Keke and others to the office, and said firmly, "By this time next year, Wanbao Animation will reach a scale of 1,000 people."

ah this...

Ma Kui and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Mr. Gu dares to think too much, doesn't he? At present, Wanbao Animation has nearly 500 employees, and it is already a "serious supermodel" in the domestic animation industry.

Doubling more than a thousand people?

Turtle!

Leaving aside the need to feed so many people, how much annual salary expenditure is required, the key is to support so many people, is it really necessary?

It is estimated that few internationally renowned animation companies have this scale.

After all, animation is not engaged in architecture, and it does not mean that more people are a good thing. Artistic creation is more about talent and talent.

They really want to persuade Mr. Gu that the steps can be as small as possible, and there is no need to become fat in one go. It is enough for Wanbao Animation to maintain its current scale, and there is no need to expand blindly.

it is a pity……

With Mr. Gu like this, you can't listen to it just by looking at it.

Ma Kui and the others hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. After all, big bosses are not afraid of being overwhelmed, so what can they say about these workers?

"correct!"

Gu Miao thought for a moment, and then added: "Wanbao Comic, Wanbao Toys and Wanbao Games also need to expand their scale, and they can't lose the chain at a critical moment."

"no problem."

Lao He, Xiao Lin and others nodded in unison.

Compared with animation companies, the difficulty of expanding these "sideline businesses" is obviously much lower.

After all, there are few animation talents in China, but there are many workers and programmers. You can recruit a large number of them by simply browsing the talent market.

Only Nan Tong showed embarrassment.

Wanbao Comics has always wanted to expand, but there are fewer talents in domestic comics than in animation, so there is no way to expand.

"I have a solution for this."

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "Seto has already contacted you with a neon company that mainly publishes light novels and comics."

"You go to Neon to take a look, keep the key editors and authors, and after confirming that there is no problem, let the group come forward to buy it."

Magazines and publishing houses are worthless.

But the high-quality writers and experienced editors under the banner are very valuable. If these people are retained, the scale of the comic company will expand.
