My Animation Era

In fact, there is also a domestic animation, from the positioning of the work to the story style, everything is exactly the same as "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang".

And the best thing is...

That animation is also a "nonsensical" magically modified version of one of the Four Great Classics.

That's right!

That is the classic animation "Lucky Star", which has a lot of laughs and constant jokes, making the audience laugh throughout the whole process.

The two animations are actually of the same nature.

But there is a very important difference between them, that is, "Lucky Star" was broadcast around 2010 in the original time and space, while "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" was broadcast in 2003.

Don’t underestimate these short seven years...

These seven years were precisely the golden period for the development of the domestic Internet. It was also a period when domestic popular culture exploded and Internet culture gradually took shape.

Therefore, the difference in broadcast time between the two animations directly led to the difference in the direction of public opinion after the two animations were broadcast.

After "Lucky Star" was broadcast, the Internet has penetrated into thousands of households. The addition of many popular Internet memes will not only not offend the audience, but even find it quite interesting.

But "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" was not so lucky.

In 2003, the Internet construction was not perfect enough, and surfing the Internet was even a "novel" thing.

So at that time, "Q Version of Liu Guan Zhang", which was full of all kinds of nonsensical elements, was actually a work rejected by mainstream culture.

Speaking of which, this also has something to do with the background.

The animation production company of the original "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" is located in Yangcheng, which is very close to Xiangjiang and is deeply influenced by the popular culture of Xiangjiang.

Audiences who have watched Xingye's movies should be deeply impressed by the "nonsensical" comedy style.

The same is true for the Q version of Liu Guanzhang.

Not long after the Olympic bid was successful, the Shenzhou V spacecraft successfully took off and landed, and people all over the country were trying their best to "make big money", the animation "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" was a bit too alternative.

What if it comes out seven years later?

What about "Lucky Star"? Who else dares to force Lai Lai to make irresponsible remarks?

It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time.

The original "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" animation has been controversial, and the Wanbao version is also unable to escape disaster.

However, changes in the Internet ecological environment, including people's tolerance for online popular culture, have determined that the Wanbao version will suffer less controversy than the original version.

That being the case.

It is also much easier to settle this matter and shut up those experts and professors who like to point fingers.

what?

You have a platform for experts and professors, but Wanbao doesn’t? Isn't it just to attract foreign aid? Gu Miao really has no one to fear!

Just as there was a debate on the Internet about whether "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" was suspected of smearing and vilifying historical figures, several professors at Jiangchuan University who studied the history of the Three Kingdoms publicly praised the animation's "edutainment" approach.

Okay!

Netizens who are used to following the wind and only fighting against the wind, without independent thinking, were stunned.

While saying that "Q version of Liu Guan Zhang" is not good and vile in nature, it is poisoning young people...

While praising "Q version of Liu Guan Zhang", it is very good, entertaining and educational, it is simply a rare treasure animation!

Both sides seem to make sense.

So the question is, who should everyone listen to? Who is right?

…

Gu Miao, who successfully resolved the public opinion crisis with just one phone call, turned around and sponsored an additional two million yuan to Jiangchuan University.

Hello, hello, hello everyone!

What Huang Kun was worried about was nothing more than a trivial matter in Gu Miao's opinion. The so-called off-the-table moves are not worth mentioning in the face of real strength.

Compared with "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" being hacked, he actually cares more about the just-completed "Sailor Moon R".

From the middle of last year to the beginning of this year, after 43 weeks, this popular anime work with worldwide reputation and countless fans finally came to an end.

The Mandarin version was completed simultaneously.

By summoning the silver crystal from the future, Xiaotu successfully defeated the enemies of the Black Moon Empire, protected his friends, and saved the world.

From "Makaiju Arc" to "Black Moon Empire Arc", the ratings performance of the anime "Sailor Moon R" has actually experienced many ups and downs and is far less stable than its predecessor.

This has been foreshadowed for a long time.

After all, the previous work was so brilliant. As a sequel, unless it reaches the extreme, it will be difficult to catch up with the record set by the previous work.

This is not a particularly big problem.

According to an internal email sent by Seto to Gu Miao, throughout last year, the anime "Sailor Moon R" was broadcast in more than 100 countries and regions around the world.

The cumulative number of viewers exceeds 500 million.

"Sailor Moon" series Blu-ray BD, peripheral derivatives, copyright licensing and other related IP revenue reached an unprecedented 50 billion yen.

Blanch!

When Gu Miao saw this number, she subconsciously thought that she had made a mistake. Later, I counted it carefully and found that it was really 50 billion.

Outrageous, too outrageous.

Even if it is 50 billion yen, it is equivalent to more than 2 billion yuan.

This is quite an astonishing number!

Excluding various expenses, Wanbao's headquarters may only earn so much net profit in a year. The Neon Division can stand shoulder to shoulder with the headquarters with just the anime IP of "Sailor Moon".

Who wouldn't be surprised by this?

The greedy Gu Miao's first reaction after reading the "New Year's Financial Report" was to ask Seto to hand over 3/4 of the remaining funds to the headquarters.

I originally wanted to take them all...

But Seto was crying on the video call with runny nose and tears. Gu Miao was also a little embarrassed to hear him babbling on the phone.

Simply leave him a quarter.

The money left has two main uses.

On the one hand, it is used to build Neon branches and recruit talents to expand business scale.

On the other hand, it has started the production of multiple animation projects, including the much-anticipated second season of "The Three Sisters of the Southern Family" and multiple other-world travel adventure anime.

That's right!

The “different world travel” craze that started last year shows no sign of stopping yet. Not only has it not stopped, but it has intensified.

The entire ACG industry is in chaos.

After you sing, I will come on stage. Today I will produce a different world travel animation, and tomorrow I will produce another one. No one will spoil the other.

Under the premise that the industry is going crazy and the "travel to another world" theme is too popular, Gu Miao can't pretend not to see it.

I have to follow up.

The industry collectively hypes the theme of "travel to another world" and treats it as a gold mine. Gu Miao didn't get involved before because she thought the craze would subside soon.

result……

More than half a year later, time travel to another world is still very popular, and the audience has not shown signs of being tired of it at all.

Therefore, Gu Miao also had the idea of ​​"making quick money".

The headquarters will stay put for now and observe the situation. The Neon Division is not short of money anyway, so they might as well make two animations to test the waters!

Of course, if others ask about this matter.

Gu Miao still pretends to be cool, saying things like "I'm not interested in another world" and "I've never made another world animation".

Don't ask, asking is the burden of idols.

In 2003, Pokémon IP revenue reached 800 million US dollars. The authenticity is unknown, but the globally popular animation IP can easily earn billions a year...
