My Animation Era

This May is undoubtedly the home of the anime "Legend of the Seven Swords".

Since the animation started broadcasting on May 7, the ratings have been getting higher day by day. At the same time, the discussion on the entire Internet is also unprecedentedly hot.

Ends May 15th.

With the gradual advancement of the plot of the animation, especially the successive appearances of Changhong Sword Master, Yuhua Sword Master and Ice Soul Sword Master, this animation has successfully "broken the circle".

On the hot search list, topics about # Xiao Ling’s breakthrough to innateness # and # Ice Soul Sword Master Xiaoyu # are among the top.

Not just in the Chinese comic circle...

Many passers-by who don't usually watch domestic animation, or who don't like watching animation at all, have begun to notice the unique animation work "Legend of the Seven Swords".

A guy from Tieba just posted a post titled "I'll post the previous generation sword master, you guys can rate it", and he came to the conclusion that "Li Changfeng is just a blooper".

More than 3,000 people have made well-founded replies and discussions under the Zhihu topic "How to evaluate King Wuwei's arrogance and domineering, but the emperor did not deal with him".

On the Perak Perak video website, the name is [Who says women are inferior to men? "Three Minutes to Make You Fall in Love with Sister Xiaoyu", the second edited video of "Legend of the Seven Swords" has been viewed over 10 million times in just three days, and everyone in the comment section is calling me "wife"...

The online version of Wanbao Video website has been updated with 14 episodes in just one week. The cumulative views have exceeded 420 million, and the average number of views per episode has exceeded 30 million times.

Fire!

It’s really popular!

When the news came out that the highest ratings of the animation "Legend of Seven Swords" exceeded 12% and the number of views on the entire network exceeded 400 million, almost everyone in the Chinese comic industry was shocked.

Everyone expected that this animation would most likely become a hit.

After all, the quality of the work is here. It seems that a lot of money and a lot of energy have been spent. It is simply unreasonable that it is not popular.

But no one thought that it would become so popular, and it would break the circle and become a "phenomenal" animation work!

Breaking the circle...

It seems that the last Chinese comic that was so popular was "Pig Man", right?

It’s incredible!

If "Legend of Seven Swords" was an animation directed by Gu Miao, everyone wouldn't be so surprised. After all, the name [Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui] is still very "convincing", and no matter what achievements he makes, they are very reasonable.

But the director is Guo Hongwei!

What the hell is Guo Hongwei? Apart from directing the third season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" before this, what other masterpieces do you have? Does anyone know him?

After ten years of hard work and no one asking, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop!

This sentence is simply too appropriate to describe Guo Hongwei. Before the animation "Legend of Seven Swords" was broadcast, to be honest, Guo Hongwei had a low reputation in the Chinese comic circle.

Not even as good as Ma Kui...

Don't laugh, this is no joke!

Although Ma Kui is a bad person, he is Gu Sanshui's number one pawn and head-shaking warrior. He has also filmed hit classics such as "Sheep and Sheep Games" before.

In addition, Ma Kui is also the vice president of Wanbao. He is a "veteran" in the Chinese comic circle, and his interpersonal relationships are much better than those of newcomers.

At that time, Guo Hongwei, who had just debuted and only had the label of "Gu Sanshui's chief disciple", was not as well-known as Ma Kui, let alone a "big star" like Huang Kun.

However, this time and that time.

At the age of eighteen, Xiao Guo, who stood like a gangster, finally became famous in the circle with the popular broadcast of the animation "Legend of Seven Swords", and more viewers remembered his name.

"It's not easy!"

Gu Miao said with emotion: "In the past, when everyone mentioned Wanbao Animation, Huang Kun and I were the only ones who knew about it. Everyone else didn't know anything about it."

"It's fine now! Wanbao has added another well-known director. What did I say a few years ago? Xiao Guo has talent and brains, and he will definitely succeed in the future..."

"Mr. Gu really has a good vision."

Huang Kun smiled slightly, thinking of that afternoon two years ago.

That day, he went to report to Mr. Gu, but Mr. Gu mysteriously said that he had recently discovered a good young man who was very talented and would definitely become the company's future star if he could be trained.

Huang Kun didn't know Guo Hongwei at that time.

To be precise, he may have met Xiao Guo, but he is so busy with work, how can he have time to get to know an "intern" who has just joined the company?

So when Mr. Gu proposed that he could accept this young man as his apprentice and teach him well, Huang Kun was very resistant in his heart.

It's not his fault...

Who would be happy to have an apprentice given to him out of nowhere, someone he didn't even know?

Of course, although Huang Kun was not happy, he did not shirk the matter for Mr. Gu's sake.

However, during the "tea ceremony" later, Guo Hongwei, who had an overloaded pig brain, unexpectedly served the wrong person and mistook Mr. Gu for his master, which surprised Huang Kun.

"It's fate."

Huang Kun's words at that time confirmed that he and Guo Hongwei had no so-called "master-disciple relationship." Then everyone knew that Guo Hongwei became Mr. Gu’s disciple.

Thinking of this past incident, Huang Kun couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At that time, both he and Mr. Gu felt that although Xiao Guo was talented, he still had a bright mind. But if you really want to get ahead, you probably need four to five years of hard work.

Who knew it would be so soon...

In less than two years, the former young intern had already produced an animation work of the level of "Legend of the Seven Swords".

"You are indeed talented!"

Huang Kun felt ashamed and said: "When I was at his age, I was still working on others, and I couldn't even finish the storyboard."

"That's it, don't look at whose disciple this is? Without my careful cultivation, would he be able to achieve what he is today?" Gu Miao boasted.

Huang Kun: "..."

You're pretending, right?

So angry! If Xiao Guo had not offered tea to the wrong person back then, this apprentice would have been his. How could it be Mr. Gu's turn to show off now?

Huang Kun, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, simply refused to answer the question and took the initiative to change the subject: "Mr. Gu, you haven't told me what you have to do with me!"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot..."

Gu Miao slapped her forehead and immediately remembered the business at Huang Kun's reminder. She rummaged through the drawer of her desk and found a stack of plans, threw it to him and said.

"Choose one of three sequels to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" this year, the second season of "Happy Baby", and "Fruit Goat"."

"Choose one of three?"

Huang Kun picked up the thick stack of plans and looked through them one by one.

After a full ten minutes, he raised his head and asked, "Can I only choose from these?"

"That's not true."

Gu Miao shook her head and said in denial: "If you have a good original project, you can submit it to me. But relatively speaking, the company prefers you to shoot one of these three animations."

Huang Kun's eyes flickered.

Based on his personal wishes, he prefers the work "Fruit Attack".

It's just that this project was born out of "The Three Jelly Musketeers", and the reputation and market performance of this animation...
