My Animation Era

Just leave.

After confirming the itinerary, Gu Miao quickly took a plane to Neon and met Seto and Nishio waiting at the airport.

The three of them came to a tea room.

In fact, Seto originally wanted to arrange some neon-style hospitality services to help the president. However, Nishio said that the president was of high moral character and did not like extravagance and waste, and that excessive hospitality might be self-defeating.

Seto thought it made sense.

As a result, the special reception venue originally booked was temporarily transformed into an elegant and quiet tea room.

"Thank you!"

Gu Miao took a sip of hot tea. After learning about Seto and Nishio's thoughts, she instantly felt the urge to hit them.

Who is making such nonsense?

Outsiders don't know what he is like, so it's okay to praise him for his noble character. Why do Wanbao's own people believe this?

One point deducted from the Neon Division!

Gu Miao was very dissatisfied with the reception. After pretending to be a sampler for a few sips of tea, she immediately stopped pretending and said directly: "Okay, stop pretending to be a serious person."

"We all know what kind of people we are. It's rare to come to Neon. You are the host, Seto. Let's just make arrangements tonight!"

"Maid pub? Hot spring?"

"I'm fine with that!"

Gu Miao couldn't sit still for a long time. After hearing this, she stood up and said, "Let's go and talk if we have anything to say while soaking in the hot spring."

What bullshit tea room?

This place is a place that I visit every time. It is said to be elegant and quiet, but in Gu Miao's opinion, it is no different from going to jail.

Let's go have some fun!

After the three people left the tea room, considering that Mr. Gu was tired after traveling a long distance, Seto suggested taking a bath in a hot spring to relax first.

Half an hour later.

After soaking in the pool called "Herbal Bath" and feeling the heat and aroma of herbs all around, Gu Miao finally felt a lot more comfortable.

"How's Dragon Ball doing?"

"Okay!"

Seto, who was soaking in the same pool, quickly explained after hearing this: "The cumulative sales of the "Dragon Ball" comic have exceeded 30 million copies, making it one of the most popular comic strips in Neon."

So scary?

Although Gu Miao knew that the popularity and popularity of Dragon Ball comics had grown horribly since it was serialized. But he never thought that the comic would actually sell so many copies.

"The animation is also pretty good. Although it didn't break the record, the holding of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Club still gained a lot of popularity for the animation..."

"That's good, that's good!"

After learning about the current status and performance of the "Dragon Ball" comics and animation, Gu Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there are no problems with the "Dragon Ball" IP, Wanbao will have a long-term meal ticket that can last for decades.

"What about other works?"

"I heard that "Date A Live: Kurumi Gaiden" that you produced will be aired soon? What about the second season of "Date A Live"? What about the follow-up plan for "Sailor Moon"?"

"Uh...President!"

Seto said with some embarrassment: "Kurumi Gaiden is indeed going to be aired, but the second season may not be that soon."

"As for the follow-up plan of the "Sailor Moon" series, we haven't thought about it yet. We have only decided on a theatrical version."

"Theatrical version?"

Hearing this word, Gu Miao asked with some confusion: "If you have time to make a theatrical version, why not consider making two more seasons of TV animation?"

"Is such that……"

"We feel that after "Sailor Moon S" is completed, its sequel can be put aside and considered again in a few years."

Seto spoke his mind.

The animated "Sailor Moon" series is certainly a money-spinner and cornucopia for Wanbao, but it can't be pruned too hard and all the sheep will be bald.

In fact, since the latest season, that is, "Sailor Moon S" was broadcast, Seto and others found that the audience was a little tired of aesthetics.

I like it, I definitely still like it.

But with the same characters and the same storyline, I’m actually a little tired of it after watching it for so many years.

This is why...

After the airing of American Wars S, the new characters Haruka Uranus and Neptune Man will be so popular that they even overwhelm the previous "Four Warriors".

Because the combination of the Four Warriors + Tsukino Usagi can no longer bring freshness to the audience. On the contrary, it is the new duo of Haruka and Man, which makes people shine.

"you're right!"

Gu Miao nodded and affirmed Seto's statement, believing that this was indeed the number one problem facing the "Sailor Moon" series.

Don’t talk about others first.

Take Gu Miao as an example. When Sailor Moon Season 1 and Season 2 were aired, he was quite happy to watch them one episode a week and felt uncomfortable even missing an episode.

But now, even if Seto tells him that the latest season of the anime "Sailor Moon" is released on TV, he can only say "oh".

Ask him to wait another week for an episode, a torturous way to catch up?

Impossible!

This has nothing to do with whether he is busy at work, or whether he pays public wages. It is entirely because he is not as interested in "Sailor Moon" as before, and he has entered the sage time.

To put it harshly.

The former Tsukino Usagi was his Bai Yueguang, and he wished he could stay together every moment. But now Tsukino Usagi is just a yellow-faced woman. He is looking for a new love outside and has lost interest in the yellow-faced woman.

Okay, this is a joke!

Gu Miao still likes Xiaotu as always, and likes that daredevil crybaby.

But the principle is the same. No matter how much you like a character, if you stay with him for a long time, he will gradually lose the "freshness" at the beginning.

"Then let's stop broadcasting for two years."

"Let time wake up the audience and remember the love and freshness they once had for Sailor Moon."

Gu Miao mused: "In the past two years, make a theatrical version to continue the popularity and popularity. Two years later, restart and produce "Sailor Moon SS"!"

"Ok, I see."

Seto nodded. The president said exactly what he planned, so he had no objection.

The two-year hiatus not only gives viewers a buffer period, but also gives Wanbao a cooling-off period. This prevents them from hastily launching a sequel and ruining the reputation of the entire IP for the sake of immediate profits.

"In that case..."

Nishio, who had been listening without interrupting, whispered in a low voice: "Should we get a TV anime that can replace "Sailor Moon"?"

"Dragon Ball" can't do this.

It's not because "Dragon Ball" isn't influential enough, nor is it because "Dragon Ball" isn't popular enough, but because the two are not the same genre.

The overlap between viewers who like to watch "Dragon Ball" and those who like to watch "Sailor Moon" is actually very low.

"I have an idea!"

Gu Miao moved her butt and approached Nishio calmly and said, "You said we make a magical girl animation with girls from kindergarten to junior high school as the main audience. What will happen?"

"Not bad!"

When Nishio spoke, he didn't notice the president's little movements.

By the time he realized that he was hugged by the president and stretched out his big hand to touch his chest, it was already too late to struggle.

"This is what you said, so I'll leave this project to you!"

"???"
