My Animation Era

Animation from another world of unknown origin suddenly became popular.

Neon viewers who have not yet experienced the baptism of scenes with various vulgar Internet titles, this is the first time they see the subject of a crooked son-in-law, and they really have a feeling of "can't stop".

How to describe it...

It's the kind of movie where you know the content is ridiculous, but somehow it makes you feel comfortable and enjoyable. After watching one episode, you warn yourself not to watch it again, but your right hand unconsciously controls the mouse to click to play the next episode.

Of course, having a son-in-law is just a gimmick.

Putting aside this vulgar plot, many viewers who calmed down and watched it carefully quickly saw the unique side of animation.

The bloody start cannot hide the fact that this is a high-quality lightly modified animation.

It depicts the customs and customs of another world in detail, uses "stones" as currency, only those with special talents can practice, the strong are respected, and they kill and steal at every turn...

These unique features have made many viewers curious, which light novel is the original work of this animation?

This is very strange!

Light novels that are eligible for "animation" are generally well-known in the industry, and their sales are very hot, so there is no chance that no one has read them.

This animation claims to be an adaptation of a light novel, but after watching it, everyone thought about it for a long time, but they still couldn't think of any light novel in the industry that could match the setting and plot of this animation.

Could it be that they are from abroad?

That's right!

Until now, no one has questioned the identity of the light novel "The Son-in-law Fairy King". At most, they think this light novel is too mysterious and they have never read it.

The audience had no doubts. On the one hand, it was because they did not understand the online text, and on the other hand, they did not think about it at all.

Until a few days ago, an international student from China watched this animation with the help of his classmates...

This Chinese international student was already in Bengbu after watching the first episode. He immediately told his classmates: Do you want to read the original work? Stop looking around in bookstores, go to Bibi Reading!

At this point, the original novel of the Son-in-law Immortal King was completely exposed, and the Neon audience who had been kept in the dark learned that this "special" different world animation was actually an online novel about cultivating immortals adapted by Wanbao.

Gu Miao expressed regret for this.

I thought I could hide it for a while, but I didn't know that the international students recognized me as soon as I started.

But it’s not a big problem, just recognize it if you recognize it! The animation has already made him famous, so the impact of being discovered is not that big now.

not to mention……

Gu Miao was actually aware of the fact that it was adapted from an online article. After all, the "son-in-law biting the master" scene at the beginning of the animation was so familiar.

He talked to the original author.

At that time, he was very curious, why did he write such a vulgar and bloody scene in "Three Years After My Son-in-law, I Stop Pretending to Be an Immortal King"?

It is obviously a very serious novel about cultivating immortals, and the subsequent content settings are very impressive. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high-quality fairy tale online novel.

However, there is a drama about a son-in-law at the beginning, which is shocking on the outside and tender on the inside, and dissuades many readers who should be interested in this book.

So why is this?

Gu Miao still remembers the reply the original author gave him at that time: Only by writing this way can he attract the attention of the editor and get the opportunity to sign on the website!

Yes, it's that simple.

Because the Crooked Dragon King was a big hit at the time, online novels of the same type suddenly became popular, and the original author also wanted to grab a wave of traffic, so the beginning was very explosive.

As for the title?

In fact, it can be regarded as a way to gain popularity. After all, to be honest, the title of the book "The Immortal King" has little to do with the content.

Change the title, change the beginning, and this is a standard traditional fairy tale online novel.

Before deciding to adapt it into animation, not only did Gu Miao want to change the name and the beginning, but Chen Hu also suggested that the "son-in-law" at the beginning of the original work should be deleted?

However, the original author has repeatedly stated that the choice at the beginning was his own, and he hoped that the production team would retain it even though it was inappropriate.

"Then keep it!"

Gu Miao was right. Although this beginning was very explosive, it would probably be very gimmicked when it was made into an animation.

Anyway, this plot is not long.

It's just that neither he nor Chen Hu expected that this son-in-law drama, which was considered a bloody blast in China, would actually work so well in the neon market.

“I can only say that I don’t have enough knowledge!”

Gu Miao couldn't help laughing and said, "If I read more online articles, I wouldn't feel anything new anymore."

"That's true, but I think the main reason is that the emotional setting is very good."

"Macho chauvinism is prevalent in Neon, and self-esteem is generally very strong. The same plot of marrying a son-in-law can resonate with more people there." Chen Hu explained.

"makes sense."

Gu Miao nodded and said thoughtfully: "My self-esteem is indeed quite extreme in my childhood, and even the smallest things can be magnified infinitely."

This is probably why the first two episodes of The Son-in-law Fairy King are so popular in the neon market.

But then again.

Neon has become popular over there. In the most important domestic market, can the Son-in-law Fairy King become popular as expected?

…

The animation "Wandering the Animated World" is still popular on the Wanbao video website, and its popularity has skyrocketed, completely crushing "The Demon Lord" of the same period.

But there's a problem.

The first season of "The World of Animation" only has more than twenty episodes, while Penguin's "The Lord" is a long series with dozens of episodes.

The two animations adopt a serial update method, with one episode a day.

This also means that after "Wandering the Animated World" is completed, "The Great Demon Lord" will continue to be serialized and popular, and Wanbao's upcoming Son-in-law Fairy King will not be without rivals.

"Our goal has never been 2 billion views, but 20 billion..."

Chen Hu once said this publicly when "Xian Moran Love" became a hit on the entire Internet, with total views exceeding 2 billion, and when the Son-in-law and Immortal King project was officially launched.

Netizens remember it very clearly.

The Son-in-law Fairy King, which boasts 20 billion views, is highly anticipated. Everyone wants to see if this animation is as good as Chen Hu boasts.

A slap in the face for sure...

20 billion views, unless the data is modified in the background of the website, it will never be possible.

Netizens don’t expect Chen Hu to fulfill his goal and make an animation with a real 20 billion views.

What everyone is curious about is...

When the Son-in-law Fairy King project was first established, the target was the explosively popular "Fairy Love". Now that the animation is produced, is it of the same quality as "Fairy Love"?

If it cannot reach 20 billion views, netizens will most likely make jokes and ridicule Chen Hu for being so ambitious. But if it cannot even reach the level of "Fairy Love", then there will be a big problem.

To put it harshly.

20 billion views is just a joke. Chen Hu himself doesn’t take it seriously. If he can’t reach it, he won’t reach it, and Gu Miao won’t blame him for it.

But surpassing the performance of "Fairy Love" and ensuring a minimum of 2 billion views is a must. This is not negotiable, otherwise even netizens will not let Chen Hu go.

how?

At the beginning, I tried to criticize "Xianfanlian" in various ways, but in the end, my animation was not as good as "Xianfanlian"!

When thinking of this, although Chen Hu insisted that he was not stressed, he still felt very heavy.

It’s time to promote, it’s time to warm up.

Out of trust in Brother Fat Tiger and not wanting to put too much pressure on him, Gu Miao did not get too involved in the Son-in-law Immortal King project, and did not even ask about the launch date.

There is nothing to ask.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Son-in-law Fairy King will definitely wait for the first season of "Wandering in the Animated World" to be aired after it is completed.

There are not many episodes left in Wandering the Animation World, and they will be finished in the next few days.

"The first season was a little short."

After watching the 20th episode of "Wandering the Animated World" in the office, Gu Miao held a toothpick in her mouth and said to Huang Kun: "It's only two worlds, and it's not satisfying at all. Try to do more episodes in the second season."

"Can!"

Huang Kun couldn't laugh or cry and said: "How about doubling the number in the second season and having four worlds?"

"Just give it a try."

"Speaking of which, the plan for the second season has been written? What worlds does the plot include?" Gu Miao asked curiously.

"The theme of the second season is competition. Most of the worlds that the protagonist Xiao Wanbao travels through are competition-type animations."

“The tentative plan includes four dungeon worlds: ‘Prince of Tennis’, ‘Lightning Rush’, ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ and ‘Four Wheel Brothers’,” Huang Kun explained.

Competitive theme?

After hearing this, Gu Miao couldn't help but nodded: "That's a good idea! The dungeon world is all about competitive games, but since it's a competitive theme, why isn't there "Pokémon"?"

This is unreasonable.

If according to Huang Kun's classification, Prince of Tennis, Raid, and Yu-Gi-Oh are all classified as "competitive" animations, then "Pokémon" should also be included.

"Is such that……"

"We originally planned to include Pokémon, but then we thought about it. Although the Pokémon world has competitive competition, it is still essentially an adventure animation."

Huang Kun spread his hands and said: "So we plan to combine adventure-type animations, such as Dragon Fighter, Lightbringer, Digimon and Pokémon, in the third or fourth season."

Classified as adventure?

Upon hearing this division, Gu Miao was quite surprised at first. After all, didn't Pokémon have competitions? How could it be considered an adventure animation?

But when he thought about it carefully, the plot of Pokémon animation has always been about expanding to "new maps", encountering new opponents, and meeting new partners.

From this perspective, it is not impossible to regard "Pokémon" as an adventure animation, alongside "Dragon Fighter" and "Lightbringer".

After all, the contents of these animations are all about upgrading monsters and replacing new maps...

"All right!"

"I can understand without "Pokémon", but how can the competitive theme be without "Go Boy"?" Gu Miao suggested.

"ah?!"

Huang Kun was shocked: "Isn't "Go Boy" not broadcast yet? How can an animation that has not been broadcast be added to the copy list of "Wandering Animation World"?"

Gu Miao asked back: "But aren't we talking about the second season? The production of the second season has not even started. By the time you finish it and broadcast it, won't "Go Boy" be finished long ago?"

Huang Kun: "..."

broken! It’s time to grow your brain!

Mr. Gu's words almost caused his CPU to burn out. After finally getting around this corner, Huang Kun seemed to have thought of something.

"From what you say, the Go boy is almost done?"

"Roughly the same."

Without admitting or denying, Gu Miao gave an ambiguous answer.

To say that the production of the animation "Go Boy" has been completely completed, it is indeed not yet complete. After all, there are still many post-production processes that have not been completed.

But the animation has moved into the post-production stage, and in a sense, it can be considered completed.

"Why so fast?"

Huang Kun couldn't understand that although Mr. Gu had always been known as a "fast shooter", was this too fast?

We are all one of the four brothers of Wanbao. Why are you so special?

"It's pretty fast..."

Gu Miao admitted this. After all, even he himself did not expect that the production of "Go Boy" would be so smooth and fast.

Maybe this is because "Go Boy" doesn't have much action scenes, and it's mainly about playing chess and explaining chess games.

As everyone knows.

Action scenes in animation are difficult to do, especially passionate battle scenes like "Dragon Ball". The fight storyboards alone are enough for ordinary people to study for a lifetime.

As for those animations that don't have too intense action scenes, or even animations where the characters don't move at all except their mouths, it's much simpler.

It just so happens that "Go Boy" is such a trouble-free animation.

The plot that accounts for the most part is playing chess, and when playing chess, don't look at the camera angles that cut back and forth, it seems like a heavy workload.

There are actually many scenes that are repeated.

When the protagonist Jiang Liu'er plays chess, he usually takes a close-up of his fingers, mainly the one holding the chess pieces between his index and middle fingers.

Then give the chessboard a close-up.

In the middle, the opponent's expressions, close-ups from a passerby's perspective, and a bird's-eye view of the chess game are added, and the chess game is completed in one move.

Looks complicated?

But many of the materials in it are common, and the scenes are repetitive. There are only a few actions and background characters going back and forth, which any fool knows is very trouble-free.

The key is that this is not Gu Miao deliberately cutting corners.

Mainly Go animation, what else can you do if you don’t do this? This has nothing to do with cutting corners. After all, playing Go is not about releasing turtle qigong waves. How big of a scene can it be?

Because of this, the production progress of "Go Boy" is very fast.

It is not easy for a team of hundreds of people to produce an animation like this. In comparison, even making "Yangcun Guardian" is more difficult than this.

After all, Yang Shou really has big battle scenes...

Just because the production progress in the early and mid-term has taken off does not mean that post-production can maintain this pace.

Many problems are only discovered in the post-production stage. Once the problems are serious, they need to be reworked and overhauled, which will undoubtedly delay a lot of time.

certainly!

The foundation of "Go Boy" is here. Even if there are any major logic bugs that need to be reworked, not much time will be wasted.

Didn't you notice that Xiao Ke had already left?

When the animation production entered the later stages and the chess records had been compiled and deduced, Xiao Ke applied for resignation from Gu Miao.

According to him, there is still a key competition at the end of September, and he is going to win his ninth championship trophy...

"Okay, good luck to you!"

Xiao Ke was going to compete for the ninth crown, and Gu Miao couldn't stop him, but seeing Xiao Ke's high-spirited look, he was speechless.

He's covered in red hair, and his old age is unknown, but he still wants to conquer the restricted area?

How about...Genting Champion consider it?
