My Animation Era

About the "Quiba" project...

To be honest, Gu Miao really didn't know how to deal with it. It's definitely not appropriate to be thrown into the cold palace directly. After all, the movie has been released and there is a group of fixed fans.

Keep making movies?

That’s a bit of an “wronged” attribute!

In this IP series, the first film can still be washed away by the lack of "publicity". If the second and third films continue to hit the streets, how should they be washed?

In the final analysis, it's not that Quiba is unsuitable for movies, but his foundation is too shallow.

If there are a few TV animations and a few stand-alone comics to pave the way, and then a movie is released, the box office performance may be much better. There is no foreshadowing, and it is purely overconfidence to go directly to a big movie.

Give a simple example.

Everyone knows that the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" zodiac series of movies was almost the best box office in the domestic animation industry at that time.

The latecomer "Bear Bears" series is even known as the "Bear of the Box Office". Every major movie can beat all the New Year movies.

So here comes the question...

If "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Bears" did not have the popularity foundation laid by TV animation, and did not have the fans accumulated by TV animation, and directly released big movies, would they still be able to achieve such amazing box office results?

I'm afraid it's difficult, right?

This is not Gu Miao deliberately looking for trouble, but this is the fact. Without TV animation to lay a foundation of popularity and attract fans... it is really difficult for animated movies like "Quiba" to cut down the box office.

Nezha? The return of the Great Sage?

Please!

Although there are no TV animations in these two movies, the themes, protagonists and stories chosen are mythical characters that are well-known in China and have "countless fans".

What is Quiba?

Even if there is no TV animation, it still has a real original world view and background characters. Is that possible?

"How about this……"

Faced with Director Hou's questioning look, Gu Miao muttered: "We won't shoot the movie for now. Let's go back and make two TV animations to build up popularity."

After enough popularity has been accumulated, it will not be too late to consider restarting the "Quiba" movie project.

Forget it now!

Even if Wanbao really wants to make a movie or animated theater version, there are still a lot of choices such as "Sailor Moon", "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Happy Baby".

"Quiba" is not on the list.

Maybe there will be a big movie "Kuiba 2" in the future, but after this, I can't say which year it will be.

Ten years from now?

Or twenty years from now?

Shaking her head slightly, Gu Miao decided to give up this unrealistic idea for the time being and concentrate on the TV animation business.

After all, TV animation is the main business.

A big theatrical movie is at best a side job, and it is still a side job that is not taken seriously. HAC was bored and just wanted to go all out, unless Gu Miao was out of his mind.

…

Feiyang Animation has not changed its name.

Only with Gu Miao's operation, the four original Feiyang Animation teams were integrated into two animation production teams.

At the same time, Feiyang Animation also changed from a company to Feiyang Animation Studio.

It's a downgrade.

But the "Feiyang Animation" brand has been retained, just like the starting point of Gu Miao's business - Wolfsburg Studio, which will remain in the form of a studio until Wanbao's collapse.

After the integration, Feiyang Animation has two production teams with 143 people, directly led by production director Hou Bin.

Mainly responsible for the operation of the "Haiwa" and "Quiba" series, as well as the animation production of "Pokémon"...

That's right!

Gu Miao kept his word. Since Director Hou chose to stay, he handed over the production and development of the "Pokémon" animation series to him.

This can be regarded as "stabilizing" military morale.

With the widespread influence of the "Pokémon" games, it will definitely be very popular after being adapted into animation.

Feiyang Animation Studio joined the Wanbao system and can also use this work to successfully build a reputation and have a good start.

By the way!

Up to now, Wanbao Animation Company has six major production teams, including Wolfsburg Studio, Lightning Studio, Demon Studio, Pigman Studio, Feiyang Animation Studio and Sailor Studio far away in Neon. .

The total number of people exceeded 700!

This is a quite astonishing scale. Not to mention domestically, even if you look at the world, it can be said that the army is strong and the horse is strong.

However, Jiang Keke believes that there are multiple factions within the company, which is not conducive to future development.

if you can……

There are now six major production teams. If the company continues to expand and develop, more teams will be added, which will undoubtedly weaken the company's production strength.

Because "strength" is too scattered.

Gu Miao agrees with this view. It is true that there are too many factions within Wanbao Animation. As the number of employees increases, it should indeed be "streamlined" appropriately.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a layoff.

He just wants to integrate certain studios to avoid too many factions, which will lead to the end of the game and weaken the production strength.

How to integrate it?

The first is Wolfsburg Studio and Feiyang Animation Studio...

Of these two studios, one is the founding father of Wanbao and the other is the "King with a Different Surname". It is impossible for anyone to integrate these two studios.

Therefore, in Gu Miao's plan, these two will not move. According to the current plan, they will just develop and grow honestly.

And then there’s Lightning Studios…

This is a studio that Gu Miao specially set up by recruiting some people to produce the series of animations called "Racing the Line".

With the decline of the "Raiders of Thunder" animation series, there is no need for Lightning Studio to continue to maintain it.

After discussion.

Gu Miao decided to merge "Demon Studio" into it, retaining the "Lightning" brand and focusing on animations with two themes: "sports and machinery".

The original Pig Man Studio was renamed "Dimension" Studio, focusing on "3D" animation series, which is also the focus of Wanbao Animation's future development.

As for Sailor Studio in the Neon branch, Gu Miao thinks it can be retained, focusing on animations with themes such as "magical girls, transformation, and love."

The six major teams became five major teams.

Except for Wolfsburg Studio and Feiyang Animation Studio, which did not have a clear "theme direction", the other three teams all had their own creative goals and directions.

As for Feiyang Animation, Gu Miao plans to let them be the main force for "adaptation-oriented" animation. Whether it is novels, comics or games, they can be responsible for it.

"What about Wolfsburg Studio?"

Huang Kun asked curiously: "Are you in charge of the original animation business?"

"Yes!"

Gu Miao nodded and explained: "In the future, the original animation part can be produced by Wolfsburg Studio."

Five major teams, each with its own responsibilities.

Although in terms of subject matter and field division, Gu Miao was more partial to her son Wolfsburg Studio and gave the biggest piece of fat, but no one else had any objections.

If you have any opinions, we don’t dare to mention them!
