My Animation Era

"Who can say for sure?"

Everyone in the company will ask him when they see him: "Mr. Gu, how high do you think the ratings of "Pokémon" will be?"

Gu Miao expressed helplessness.

How did he know how high the ratings would be? He is not a prophet, so how can he accurately calculate the ratings before the animation is broadcast?

Just ask about the ratings.

Even if he couldn't tell the exact answer, he could still make a vague guess.

But someone asked him, what do you think about the ratio of game players to animation viewers? Can this conversion rate be half?

Gu Miao was really convinced.

If you even ask him this kind of question, do the people in the company just treat him as a "half-immortal" and just ignore it?

"I don't know, don't ask me."

After once again declining the questioning and harassment from the curious babies, Gu Miao called Hou Bin to the office, sighed and said, "Tell me, what's going on over there?"

"Neon, TV stations in Europe, North America and China have promised to start animation broadcasts around the same day..."

Hou Bin was very excited. This was the first time in his life that he had experienced this kind of "global simultaneous" broadcast.

Who dares to believe this?

A domestically produced animation can attract the attention of so many foreign audiences and even be broadcast simultaneously around the world. This is simply a "world-breaking" feat.

"Not surprising."

Gu Miao nodded and said: "The popularity of the "Pokémon" game lies here. After being adapted into an animation, it will bring its own traffic."

Nothing surprising.

When Blizzard announced that it would adapt "World of Warcraft" into a movie, didn't it also cause a huge sensation among players?

If this doesn't make an impression.

Let me talk about something that everyone has an impression of. The animation "Battle of Two Cities" produced by Riot Games based on "League of Legends", I believe everyone is paying attention to it, right?

Why care about "Battle of Two Cities"?

Because everyone has played LOL and is a fan of this game. After learning that the game has been adapted into an animation, they will subconsciously pay attention to this information.

Next door Dota2 also released an animation.

For those who have never played Dota and are not Dota fans, how many of them know the animation "Dota: Dragon's Blood"?

What is this called?

In technical terms, this phenomenon is called an "information cocoon."

What's the meaning? Information cocoon refers to the fact that the information fields that people pay attention to will be habitually guided by their own interests, thus shackles their lives in a "cocoon" like a silkworm cocoon.

so……

The "Pokémon" game is very popular around the world, with countless players. The broadcast of the animation of the same name adapted from the game will naturally attract the attention of a large number of game players.

certainly!

If you have never played the "Pokémon" game, know nothing about this game, or are even not interested, then you will definitely not pay attention to the "Pokémon" animation information.

Such people definitely exist.

And there are a lot of them. After all, although there are many players in the "Pokémon" game, it is impossible to cover all groups.

But the heat is enough.

As long as the animation can still maintain such amazing popularity and discussion after it is broadcast, it is estimated that the "breaking circle" effect will be achieved soon.

Speaking of which.

Neither Hou Bin nor Gu Miao are actually too worried that no one will watch the "Pokémon" animation.

Are you kidding me?

With such a good fan base and such high quality of work, it would be easy to break through the industry, so why would anyone watch it?

What they worry about is only their competitors.

"Director Wang told me that between the end of June and the beginning of July, it is expected that 17-20 animation works will be broadcast on the TV platform."

"domestic?"

Gu Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course it's domestic, otherwise you think I'm talking about the world?"

"Gan!"

Even with Hou Bin's quality, he couldn't help but cursed when he heard the news.

no way!

This number is too shocking!

From the end of June to the beginning of July, so many animation works were broadcast together in half a month at most! On average, one new work a day!

Although "Pokémon" has an advantage, Hou Bin is honestly not sure whether it can break out of this "cruel schedule".

The pressure is too much.

It’s not just Wanbao who feels a lot of pressure, the entire domestic animation industry also feels a lot of pressure in the face of this summer animation “tide.”

"There are four domestic animations and more than a dozen imported animations. It is expected that they will collide with "Pokémon"."

"In this..."

Ma Kui walked in with a statistical report and introduced to the two of them: "The most competitive or powerful works are probably these three."

Gu Miao picked up the report and glanced at it.

The first work is from Neon. The theme is a little old, but it is a pretty good sports animation "Hockey Heroes".

Gu Miao has heard of this work.

Adapted from the comic book of the same name, it was produced and distributed by Neon's well-known animation company "Ashes Society". After being aired on Neon, it received an overwhelming response, with sales of the comic book of the same name exceeding 10 million copies.

It can be said that this is one of the best animated works on the "sports" theme in recent years.

"Very strong!"

After nodding, Gu Miao immediately looked at the second work Ma Kui had circled.

This is a domestic animation.

The subject matter is very strange. It is actually a "puppet animation" that Gu Miao has never seen before or even heard of rarely. The name is "Peacock Princess".

"Puppet animation?"

Hou Bin also saw it and couldn't help but sigh: "I watched a puppet animation when I was a child, and I have to say it is quite classic. Unfortunately, puppet animation is so unpopular that not many people study it now."

"It's really unpopular."

Gu Miao nodded. As a practitioner in the animation industry, he rarely saw "puppet animation". He could only say that this thing was indeed too rare and unpopular.

However, this animation can be circled by Ma Kui as a threat to the ratings share of "Pokémon", which shows that puppet animation is not without its merits.

"Hey! This production team..."

When Gu Miao scanned the introduction of the production team of this puppet animation, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Only twelve people!

To be honest, for an animation, especially a full-length animation, a team of twelve people is too small.

But that just goes to show.

These twelve people are very capable. After all, twelve people can handle an animation work, which is a relatively unpopular and rare "puppet animation". I have to say that it is quite awesome.

Gu Miao started to love talents.

Puppet animation?

When he mentioned this word, the figure riding a donkey and playing tricks on Master Bai suddenly appeared in his mind...

Except for the Avatar...ugh! In addition to Avanti, there is also the Liao Zhai series, and those puppet animated films are quite impressive.

otherwise?

Did you buy this team as a package?

Puppet animation, I wonder if you have seen "Laoshan Taoist"...
