My Animation Era

From the beginning of July to the end of July, the "Dragon Ball" animation has aired four episodes.

A lot happened during this period.

After meeting Bulma and learning the secret of the Dragon Balls from her, Wukong embarks on an adventure to collect the Dragon Balls.

Met a turtle on the way!

In order to help the turtle return to the sea, Wukong ran towards the sea with the turtle on his back, and defeated the monsters that came to cause trouble along the way.

After arriving at the beach, Wukong and Bulma met Kame Sennin.

Although Turtle Immortal has an unattractive appearance, in terms of seniority, this lecherous white-bearded old man carrying a turtle shell is actually the master of Wukong!

Moreover, this seemingly frail old man has an even more astonishing identity, that is, the founder of the "Turtle Style Qigong" stunt.

Kame Sennin gave Wukong a somersault cloud and a dragon ball.

Afterwards, the two of them came to a weird village according to the guidance of Dragon Ball Radar. Here, Wukong and Bulma meet Oolong, a pig-headed man who can transform...

The early plot of "Dragon Ball" has a strong sense of "Journey to the West".

This is actually true.

In the early stages of serialization, the original "Dragon Ball" was indeed a comic created based on the story background of Journey to the West.

Therefore, the early plot, including the characters, always gives people the feeling of watching an "alternative" Journey to the West.

Maybe that's why...

The popularity of the "Dragon Ball" comic series has not been very high in the weeks before it was serialized, and after Wanbao's animated adaptation was aired, the ratings have also been tepid.

"Don't worry! Calm down!"

Compared to others in the Neon Division, Gu Miao, who was far away in Jiangchuan, was particularly calm after the first few episodes of the "Dragon Ball" animation were aired.

This is only episode 4!

The 21st World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament hasn't even started yet, so why are you in a hurry? Now it is tepid, but it is just brewing a big move.

We'll know the quality in a few weeks...

The animation was tepid after it was aired, which made Seto and others extremely depressed. But Gu Miao always believes that this is just the dormant period of the "Dragon Ball" animation, and it will soon pick up.

Ever since.

Under the surprised and incomprehensible looks of everyone in the Neon Branch, Gu Miao arranged a translation team for the "Dragon Ball" animation that had just aired 4 episodes, and began to introduce it to the domestic Wanbao Video website for broadcast.

"No, this is too fast, isn't it?"

Lao Zhang and others were also surprised. Although everyone knew that Mr. Gu was extremely optimistic about "Dragon Ball", this operation still shocked everyone.

Only 4 episodes have been aired!

It would be fine if it becomes a huge hit after it airs and becomes so popular that it explodes.

The problem is that the current "Dragon Ball" animation has been tepid in popularity since it was aired on Neon, and it seems to be an extremely mediocre animation.

Even if the management is very optimistic about the future of this kind of animation, do they still have to broadcast a few more episodes to gain some popularity before considering introducing it abroad?

"Is it fast? I think it's fine!"

"That's right! Not only the Chinese version, but also the "Dragon Ball" animation in English, Spanish, French, German and other languages ​​will be arranged as soon as possible."

Gu Miao frowned and asked, "It's already been four episodes, why is there no progress in the multi-lingual translation work?"

Lao Zhang: "..."

Can you blame them?

It has been almost half a year since the animation "Digimon" was completed. It has just been translated into 6 languages ​​and has been released to more than 40 countries and regions around the world.

As for the "Detective Conan" animation that was completed not long ago, its multi-lingual translation work has only now been advanced to the English and Japanese versions. It is still early for the third version to be completed.

This is normal progress!

How can there be any animation like "Dragon Ball" that started promoting multi-lingual dubbing after the fourth episode?

"You are too biased!"

Lao Zhang expressed his dissatisfaction with "Detective Conan": "Conan is already finished, and now the Japanese and English versions have been translated. The "Dragon Ball" animation has just been aired, why not wait until it is finished before considering multi-lingual dubbing?"

To be honest, Lao Zhang was very angry.

It's not that he questions Mr. Gu's vision. Over the past many years, Mr. Gu has proven that his vision is better than everyone else's, and the works he is optimistic about will definitely become popular.

But this resource tilt is a bit too much.

If "Dragon Ball" is Wanbao's biological son, is "Detective Conan" his adopted son? Are other anime just picked-up kids?

"Fine!"

After Lao Zhang argued hard, Gu Miao gave in a little and gave up her plan to make "Dragon Ball" multi-lingual now.

But he also said.

Multiple languages ​​can be put aside first, and resources will be given priority to the translation and production work of "Detective Conan". However, when the "Dragon Ball" animation is introduced into the country, it must be implemented within a week.

Lao Zhang has no objection to this.

The two people who had temporarily reached a consensus quickly turned the topic of discussion to the multi-lingual translated version of the "Detective Conan" animation.

It's embarrassing to say.

At the beginning, Gu Miao actually had no idea what achievements "Detective Conan" had achieved after it was broadcast overseas.

Until Lao Zhang told him.

Not long after the animation "Detective Conan" was aired overseas, the same bow tie as "Conan" was sold out in the neon mall, and he realized that he had been careless.

I can't say it's careless...

It can only be said that in his impression, the influence of Conan is slightly less than that of works such as One Piece, Naruto, and Doraemon, so he doesn't take it to heart.

But he forgot one thing!

In this parallel world, Neon does not have the pirate Naruto Doraemon, and even "Dragon Ball" has just started serialization.

what does that mean?

Without the mutual checks and balances of these animation masterpieces, the current "Detective Conan" on Neon would definitely be a "killing" level IP.

This is a common sense mistake!

Gu Miao, who subconsciously regarded anime works such as Pirates, Naruto, and Doraemon as "already existing" by default, completely underestimated Conan's lethality overseas.

Are bow ties sold out?

In the face of events such as the Conan comic leaping into the top three in sales and the animation ratings breaking records, these are all trivial matters.

What's the most outrageous thing?

According to an interview and survey by a foreign media reporter, in a certain Southeast Asian country, more people know the character "Conan" than the people who know the country's commander-in-chief.

Too abstract!

Even though Gu Miao, who had already learned how influential "Detective Conan" was overseas through Lao Zhang's narration, she still couldn't tense up when she read the news.

So, when he saw that a certain university in Neon offered an elective course called "Detective Conan" and Logical Reasoning, and it turned out to be so popular that students from outside the school also came to take the class, he no longer knew what to say. .

If you say, these can be understood.

Gu Miao really couldn't understand the fact that Cosmic Nation netizens deduced from Conan's face and scriptures that Conan actually had the blood of Cosmic Nation and that he was the detective light of Cosmic Nation.

He even admitted that Conan had neon blood. After all, it was a copied neon work... But this cosmic country blood?

It makes no sense!
