My Animation Era

The outsourced production company that Seto found for the second season of the anime "Date A Live" had a hard-to-pronounce name and was not very large.

But Seto said that although this company is not well-known, its animation production capabilities are still very good and it enjoys a high reputation in the industry.

The key is that this company is very experienced in the depiction and storyboarding of battle scenes. By handing over the production of the second season of Battle to them, it also minimizes risks.

after all……

Different from other harem romantic comedy animations, the special background setting of "Date Battle" results in many battle scenes in the animation. If the fighting is not good, half of the animation will be missing.

Gu Miao agreed with this.

But he is worried about one thing, that is, how is the company doing? Wouldn't it be possible that while the animation was being produced, news would spread that the company was about to go bankrupt?

"Huh? Bankruptcy?"

Seto was amused: "They have been established for almost ten years, and their business conditions have always been very good. How can they close down just because they say they are going to go bankrupt?"

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

After learning that the other party would not suddenly go bankrupt, Gu Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't blame him for his wild thoughts.

The main reason is that the IP of "Date A Live" is a bit evil. The first three seasons of the original "Date A Live" were produced by different production companies for each season.

Those animation companies that were originally good, once they finished the work "Date A Live", various problems immediately broke out.

To be honest, it's quite metaphysical...

No one said that they had come to a conclusion. Anyway, it was very strange. The fight seemed to be cursed, and the companies that came into contact had no good ending.

But since Seto said so, Gu Miao could only think that she was worrying too much.

It's best to be safe and sound!

Even if the overall reputation of the second season is not as good as that of the first season due to outsourcing, Wanbao can actually accept it. After all, you have already outsourced it, so how can you care about the reputation?

Outsourcing is outsourcing…

People receive money to do things, and at best they try their best to meet the goals set by Party A. They cannot take it seriously as their own work.

certainly!

Some outsourced animations are indeed very good and top-notch, even better than non-outsourced parts.

This is the scoring situation.

If you want to produce good results through outsourcing, you need to have enough money and a sufficient construction period, and you also need to find a reliable partner.

Gu Miao didn't know whether the second season of the show would be the former or the latter. Before the result came out, she could only prepare for the worst.

…

The replay of The Magic Soldier is over.

Although there are still many TV stations that are rebroadcasting this animation sporadically, overall, the TV broadcast life cycle of The Magic Soldier has ended.

Also ending the replay cycle are "The Adventures of Little Carp" and "Zodiac".

Speaking of which, I have to mention another animation that was broadcast during the Spring Festival.

"Electric Shock Boy"!

As an animation that Gu Miao is extremely optimistic about, Dengeki Boy has lived up to his trust. During the Spring Festival, the ratings have been soaring, and it has become the most popular TV animation after "The Magic Soldier".

This also gave many domestic friends and businessmen a glimmer of hope to catch up with Wanbao!

The success of Dengeki Boy is enough to prove that current domestic animation is not dominated by Wanbao, and the TV platform still has great potential.

Now that we have one Dengeki Kid, can't there be a second and third part?

OK OK!

Transform into a hero + future technology, right? This subject matter is quite good, I will also learn it!

Friends in the domestic animation industry are all copy ninjas with maxed-out Sharingan points. If they take a look at the quality of the other party's animation, they can basically create a very similar copy.

Don't get me wrong, this is not plagiarism.

Everyone looks up without looking down, and occasionally they get together to eat and drink, plagiarizing and other things. Only those who are completely shameless would dare to be so blatant.

Generally, I learn from those popular animations, activate my Sharingan, and stitch together more interesting settings, ideas, and elements.

Applied to the field of online novels, it is just following the trend of outlining ideas.

In the past, everyone followed Wanbao. Whatever animations Wanbao produces are more popular, then I will follow them and produce animations with the same theme and type to catch the traffic.

Animations such as "Digimon", "Pokémon", and "Bear Bears" have basically been copied by fellow sharingans.

However, Wanbao’s animation is so popular, and there are too many people copying and imitating it...

To put it harshly, there are so many people following the same genre and theme, so it is not easy to carve out a way out.

Under this premise, everyone began to turn their attention to other people and no longer stared at Wanbao for imitation.

"Electric Boy" can survive under the pressure of Bears 2, which is enough to prove that it is an excellent TV animation work. In this case, why not activate the Sharingan and copy it?

It’s not just Shock Guy.

Excellent domestic animations such as "Qin Shi Mingyue" and "Zodiac" will attract the attention of the entire industry and attract countless people to imitate and learn as long as they achieve some results.

"This is not a good thing!"

Gu Miao said a long time ago that if everyone rushes to imitate and learn, they will not be able to make good animations.

This is just like many years ago, when zombie movies became popular in Hong Kong, so everyone rushed to make zombie movies, and finally played this subject to death.

This is not to say that imitation is not allowed, but imitation and reference must be measured. On the basis of imitation and reference, you must add your own thoughts and things, otherwise the significance of reference will be lost.

Take Digimon for example.

As one of Wanbao's most classic animation works, it is also the object of imitation and reference by many friends, and many similar works have been produced.

But to this day, almost all animations that imitate and borrow from "Digimon" follow the "multi-protagonist" setting.

Why not change the idea and have a single protagonist or dual protagonists?

Manpower's "Digimon" anime has eight "chosen children", so you also have eight protagonists, right? Why, seven protagonists or nine protagonists won’t work?

Others make zombie movies and use glutinous rice to defeat zombies, so a lot of people follow suit and use glutinous rice. No one dares to try to use peach wood sword or black dog blood to defeat zombies. Isn't this a kind of pathology?

Only tribute, no innovation.

This is the strange environment of domestic animation. In Gu Miao's view, these friends who only know how to imitate and learn from others will never be able to surpass Wanbao in their lifetime.

On the other hand, Penguin, who has always insisted on adapting Internet novels and strongly advocates the concept of so-called big IP, makes Gu Miao admire him very much.

Let's not worry about whether the "Internet literary reform" can be successful or not. Is it too extreme? Just ask whether Penguin has found its own way?
