My Animation Era

It was Gu Miao's arrangement to send one hundred yuan to silence Liu Zida.

Not only Liu Zida, but also many video bloggers, self-media practitioners and film critics active in the animation industry have also received hints from Wanbao Animation.

This is the first time Wanbao has conducted such large-scale public relations for a new work.

Obviously, the importance of the work "The Immortal King of the Son-in-law" is worthy of Wanbao's action. The company's executives are also worried that someone will slander the animation as soon as it starts airing, so they have made sufficient preparations in advance.

This is considered the norm in the industry.

As soon as the news of the launch of some animations came out, there were people who hyped them up, and they quickly captured the traffic of the entire network. Do you really think that animations are that good?

It’s all public relations and marketing!

Wanbao didn't bother to do this kind of thing before. After all, they were full of confidence in their own animation. Even if the entire network was black, it would not have any impact.

But this time it's really different...

The "Sister-in-law Fairy King" project is Wanbao's first "adapted from online text" animation. It represents a very important meaning, and it is expected that it will be planned in advance.

certainly!

Wanbao doesn't just give money to everyone. Most bloggers and self-media have only received official letters from Wanbao Animation, suggesting that they should not be "embarrassing" and "talking nonsense".

From this perspective, Liu Zida could still receive a hundred yuan, or even a gift prepared by Gu Miao himself, which was already considered a great honor.

"Don't worry about public opinion."

"We have said hello in advance. No one should dare to offend us. The main thing is the audience's reputation, which needs to be paid attention to."

Gu Miao frowned and said, "I seem to have heard that the animation has just started airing and there are already many negative reviews in the comment area?"

"It's not that much."

Chen Hu touched his nose with a slightly guilty expression: "The bad reviews are mainly aimed at our Mandarin dubbing actors, especially the male protagonist..."

Gu Miao frowned.

He had heard a little bit about this matter. It was said that the voice actor of the male protagonist liked to mix in a few strange laughs of unknown reason in the middle of his lines, which the audience didn't like very much.

He hadn't heard the specific sound, so he didn't know how strange that "weird laughter" was.

But since the audience is so resistant, it means that it is indeed inconsistent and unpleasant, and that weird laughter should be deleted from subsequent episodes.

Everything is based on the opinions of the audience.

It was just a matter of cutting out an irrelevant piece of laughter during the synthesis of the audio track. This should not be a difficult task for the post-production team. Why did Chen Hu look so embarrassed?

"Mr. Gu, you don't know something."

"The weird laughter that the audience complained about was not added randomly by me, nor was it the voice actor's own initiative, but it existed in the original work itself!"

Chen Hu spread his hands and said: "In the original work, the male protagonist likes to make weird laughs when he has nothing to do. I don't know how to laugh, so I let the voice actor play freely."

Gu Miao: "..."

Jie Jie Jie? !

Isn’t this laughter exclusive to villains? Wasn't this male protagonist one of the sages of the Soul Palace before?

And this is indeed a daunting question, that is, how to make "Jie Jie Jie" laugh?

Can normal humans really emit such strange laughter?

"its not right!"

Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Since it is a description in the original work, why are the audience so skeptical?"

"Maybe...even they didn't realize that this laughter was the Jie Jie Jie in the original novel!" Chen Hu sighed.

It’s useless to hear it.

This kind of tone descriptor may not seem unusual when reading a novel. After all, it is just a paragraph of text.

But when it's made into an animation, especially after it's dubbed by someone, it seems very strange.

"Then I understand..."

Gu Miao was silent for a while: "It's not your fault. I've never heard Jie Jie Jie's bad laughter in my whole life. It's weird and normal to record it."

"But since even fans of the original novel don't like this kind of laughter, it's better to delete it as soon as possible! We must meet the audience's requirements."

"OK."

Chen Hu made an OK gesture, nodded and said, "I'm about to do this. When I get back, I'll have all these laughs cut out, and the previously aired episodes will also be re-edited."

"Okay, let's do it."

Gu Miao agreed, and then added: "Remember to always pay attention to the comment area. If the audience has any misunderstandings or doubts about the plot, answer them as soon as possible."

"I will, don't worry, Mr. Gu!"

After Chen Hu finished speaking, he turned around and left the office very coolly.

After he left, Gu Miao, who originally wanted to know about Xiao Ke's competition, suddenly became curious and subconsciously opened the Wanbao video and watched the son-in-law Immortal King.

After watching the first two episodes at 2.5x speed, he was sure of one thing.

The audience was right.

The dubbed version of "Jie Jie Jie" has a really outrageous evil smile. How could it make such a crazy sound?

It’s not unfair at all that the anime has been criticized, and the original writing is really outrageous.

…

Xiao Fan, the Immortal King of the Immortal Realm.

Due to an accident while traveling away from Chaos, he was reincarnated into a young man with the same name in Bailong City in the fairy world, and his identity was the useless son-in-law of the city lord's palace.

But this is only an identity on the surface. Secretly, Xiao Fan is a direct descendant of the ancient emperor of the fairy world, and he possesses the supreme treasure of the Emperor's Sutra.

He was born with broken veins and could not practice cultivation. This was why Xiao Fan was targeted by the city lord's family and forced him to hand over the Emperor's Scripture.

Xiao Fan before was unable to resist.

But now Xiao Fan is the Supreme Immortal King in the Immortal World who has been reborn through reincarnation. He is born with extremely weak veins and cannot defeat an Immortal King at all.

The Lord of White Dragon City, Xiao Fan's cheap father-in-law, was unwilling to let Xiao Fan escape his control and sent countless men to hunt him down.

In the process of escaping from pursuit, Xiao Fan also solved the problem of his inability to practice, and began the road of pretending to be a slap in the face, and the rise of a strong man...

The story of a son-in-law and a fairy king is just a shell of a son-in-law. In fact, the core is still a more traditional ancient fairy tale online novel.

High emotional intelligence: Tradition!

Low emotional intelligence: old-fashioned and outdated!

This was also something Gu Miao was worried about before the animation was broadcast.

After all, the story is too traditional and old-fashioned. Neon otakus who have never read Huaguo.com will like it, but it does not mean that the old bookworms in China can also read it.

It turns out.

There is no cliche plot, just shoddy production.

With the support of exquisite paintings and excellent production, the reputation of the animated Son-in-law Fairy King is not as bad as expected, and there are not many viewers who criticize the clichéd plot.

Gu Miao felt strange at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it was quite normal.

After all, there have been so many animations adapted from online texts, all of which are produced in 3D, and everyone has long been tired of watching them.

At this time, a 2D web-based animation suddenly appeared. Even though the plot is not that fresh, the picture is very comfortable to watch!

Therefore.

After the animation Son-in-law Fairy King was launched, the results have been steady and improving, and the performance has been extremely outstanding.

Although it is not as explosive and brilliant as "Wandering the Animated World", it is not inferior to Penguin's "The Lord" of the same period, and even vaguely beats the opponent.

But then again...

The comparison target for Son-in-law and Immortal King is not the popular "The Demon Lord" currently being broadcast by Penguin, but "The Fairyland" which has been completed for nearly a year.

Regarding the comparison between the two animations, netizens have already drawn preliminary conclusions.

First of all, Chen Hu was slapped in the face.

The arrogant words with 20 billion views, the Immortal King's son-in-law would definitely not be able to do it. As soon as those words were spoken, he was destined to be slapped in the face today.

Secondly, Chen Hu is not a liar.

In terms of its premiere performance alone, The Son-in-law Immortal King is indeed not inferior to the original "Fairy Love". The two are almost on the same level, and the number of views is also about the same.

Considering that "Fairy Love" was suspected of being unfinished in the later stages, its broadcast performance was not as dazzling as in the early and mid-term.

If the Son-in-law Fairy King can maintain its current performance and increase in playback volume, it is entirely possible that "Xianfanlian" will be trampled under its feet by the time it is completed and reach a total playback volume of 4 billion or even 5 billion.

Brother Fat Tiger became famous in one battle!

If he said "Xianfanlian" doesn't work, that means it really doesn't work. He said he would step on "Xianfanlian" under his feet, and he really did...

Except for the arrogance of 20 billion views, which made people laugh at his overestimation, all the other words he had said were fulfilled at this moment.

Because of his rather flamboyant personality, he is considered to be the most pushy among the otakus in Wanbao Animation, so Chen Hu has received relatively high attention from the outside world.

The performance of Son-in-law Immortal King after its launch has also made him more and more popular.

It is said that a friend has already put forward conditions and is ready to poach people. This is something Gu Miao learned through Lao Zhang.

"Just dig it!"

"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. If he feels that he can achieve his ideals and ambitions by going to another company, then I don't mind letting him go."

Gu Miao has a relatively optimistic view on being poached.

After all, this kind of thing has not been experienced before. Even during the craziest period of poaching, in addition to ordinary employees of Wanbao Animation, even Gu Miao herself received emails from friends.

Yes, you heard it right…

Friendly businessmen cast a net to poach people, and they actually landed on Gu Miao! Even if such an outrageous thing could happen, Gu Miao didn't find it difficult to accept that Chen Hu was poached.

What's more, can it be dug away?

If Wanbao's corner was so easy to dig, Huang Kun would have run away long ago. After all, at that time, the treatment offered to him by his friends was generous that many people could not even imagine.

"Relax, we are the leader in domestic animation and No. 1 in the industry!"

Seeing that Lao Zhang was still looking sad, Gu Miao smiled and consoled him: "Most of these animation people have special ideals and beliefs, otherwise they would not join the animation industry."

"Since they have special ideals and beliefs, Wanbao is the company that best fits their ideals. After all, without Wanbao, how would they have the opportunity to come into contact with animations such as "Tom and Jerry", "The Lion King" and "Bugs Bunny"?"

"That's true..."

Lao Zhang might not agree with the second half of Mr. Gu's words, but the first half of his words really made Lao Zhang feel the same way.

Those who join the animation industry do have some feelings or special beliefs.

Without these things, if you just wanted to make money, you would have gone into the gaming or advertising industry.

Those who make animation, especially those with excellent skills, may be able to earn more by changing industries.

For example, if the company's top original animators make a two-dimensional style krypton gold card-drawing mobile game, not only will their work be easier, but they will also be able to earn several times more money than they do now.

The reason why they stick to the animation creation industry is simply because they have their own beliefs or ideals and have great enthusiasm for animation.

This is not to say that money cannot impress such people, but in comparison, they feel that ideals and ambitions are more important than money.

The same goes for Chen Hu.

If he wants to go further, produce better animations, and leave his own mark in the animation industry, staying at Wanbao is the best choice.

It is difficult for other companies to provide the same creative conditions as Wanbao, and it is also difficult for other companies to be as tolerant of every project as Gu Miao.

"Actually, there are people who deserve it."

Lao Zhang said with some sigh: "If you want to poach people like Huang Kunhou Bin with money, it is difficult to poach them. After all, they want more than just money."

"But for people like Ma Kui, I suspect that if a friend gave him a sweet date, he would run away with a bucket..."

"You are prejudiced!"

Although Gu Miao always belittled Ma Kui, when she heard Lao Zhang hurting him so much, she couldn't help but say something fair for him.

"Do you think no one has scouted Ma Kui? He just never told us and silently refused."

Xiao Ma is just a bit abstract, and his speech is very uninflected, but he still has the ideals and ambitions that an animator should have.

As far as Gu Miao knows.

Although Ma Kui has been clamoring all day long, he is the second most honored person in Wanbao Animation and has won all the box office and ratings titles. From now on, he will lie down and be destroyed...

But in fact, Ma Kui really wants to achieve greater achievements, defeat Gu Miao in terms of honor, and become the well-deserved number one person in Wanbao Animation.

Others were dissatisfied with Ma Kui and tried their best to surpass him in terms of achievements and honors. Did Ma Kui not want to surpass Gu Miao?

"He still has this side?"

Lao Zhang was a little surprised. He seemed to have never expected that Ma Kui, who was usually very unconventional and sounded like a eunuch in his words and deeds, could actually have such an inspirational side.

"So, people should not be judged by their appearance."

Gu Miao smiled, but did not mention Ma Kui's recent big plans to Lao Zhang.

For the project "Journey to the West 3D", so far everyone thinks it is just a simple 3D TV animation, including Lao Zhang.

Only Gu Miao knew that Ma Kui was secretly planning a big move!

The 3D TV animation of Journey to the West is more than just an ordinary TV animation. This can be seen from the frequent expansion of recruitment of the production team.

Have you ever seen any serious animation production team that actually has two teams?

Who would believe that there is no secret in this!

Out of curiosity, Gu Miao secretly sent someone to investigate, but Ma Kui did a good job of preventing leaks, and even he didn't get any useful information.

The only thing that is known is that the animation production team managed by Ma Kui involved employees from the Puppet Studio and the American Film Studio.

"It won't be a TV+ movie, right?"

Gu Miao thought of a possibility, but felt that it was unlikely. After all, Ma Kui only had so much budget to spend, and there was no spare time to make a companion theatrical version.

Unless, he can find a new enemy...
