My Animation Era

Two good friends, one is about to become a father and the other is already a father, which makes Gu Miao feel even more stressed.

To know……

Lao Gu was almost going crazy thinking about having a grandson. In the past, Gu Miao could use the excuse that "none of her friends have children" to excuse Lao Gu, but now she can't find any reason.

Fortunately, there were a lot of things going on in the company in the past two days, which caused Gu Miao to go home late, otherwise Lao Gu would have been nagging a few words.

anyway.

There was one thing that really surprised Gu Miao, and it could be said to be the main reason why he came home late recently.

Plum Blossom Animation, founded by the son of one of the top ten richest men in the country and jointly funded by Internet giants, actually colluded with the new director Shen of Jiangchuan TV Station?

This is what Director Wang told him.

According to Lao Wang, Director Shen, who landed at Jiangchuan TV Station, had probably already thought about finding an animation production company to replace Wanbao Animation.

This can also explain why he had the confidence to fall out with Wanbao and terminate the cooperation when he said it was terminated, without worrying about future ratings issues.

"It's interesting!"

As Gu Miao's dog-headed strategist and self-proclaimed chief staff officer of Wanbao, Ma Kui couldn't help but wonder after hearing the news: "What is the origin of this... Meihua Animation?"

He couldn't understand.

As a new animation company in the industry, even if Meihua Animation is backed by large capital and has strong financial resources, what is the use of it?

Animation production is not an industry where you can make more money than anyone else.

If you have more money, can you produce an animated work that is popular all over the world? If this is really the case, the Little Bear will never leave the game "sadly".

In this industry, the competition is ultimately about "creativity" and "artistic attainments."

Abundant funds are, at best, the icing on the cake. There is no possibility that the more money you spend, the more popular the animation will be.

So Ma Kui couldn't understand why the new director Shen from Jiangchuan TV station would terminate his cooperation with Wanbao and switch to Meihua Animation.

Is he old and confused?

"He is not confused, on the contrary, this Director Shen is very smart!"

With a solemn expression, Gu Miao took out a freshly printed document from the drawer and handed it to Ma Kui.

Ma Kui took it and took a look.

This document is not complicated. It mainly contains several policy changes and notices issued by superior leaders regarding supporting the animation industry.

"What's the meaning?"

"Recently, Penguin Group acquired several online novel websites, established Penguin Reading, and officially announced their big entertainment strategy."

Gu Miao crossed her hands and said, "They established Penguin Comics and also invested in the newly established Plum Blossom Animation."

Great entertainment strategy!

Penguin ended immediately, established Penguin Reading and Penguin Comics, integrated the online novel and comic industries, and invested in Meihua Animation.

The intention is already obvious.

"The so-called Plum Blossom Animation is probably just a vest created by Penguin specifically to test the animation market."

"That rich second generation is probably just a cover! The real major shareholder is Penguin Group!"

Gu Miao explained: "Penguin is the largest online novel platform and the largest comic platform in China, with a large number of IPs available for adaptation."

"If Meihua Animation's adaptation of these IPs achieves great success, then I estimate that Meihua Animation will soon be renamed Penguin Animation."

Having said this, Gu Miao looked at Ma Kui with a half-smile and said, "Do you still think that Director Shen is confused?"

"Fuck!"

After listening to Gu Miao's explanation, including the analysis of Penguin Entertainment's strategy, Ma Kui was immediately confused.

No wonder...

No wonder the company was poached by more than 200 people, and no wonder Director Shen wanted to terminate the cooperation with Wanbao Animation.

This multiple choice question is so easy!

On one side is Wanbao Animation, which has risen from the grassroots, and on the other side is Meihua Animation, which is backed by the towering tree of penguins. Any fool knows who to choose.

What?

You said that Plum Blossom Animation has just been established and it doesn’t have a masterpiece yet?

joke!

Do you know Penguin Reading and Penguin Comics? There are so many well-known online novels and so many well-known comics. You can adapt any one of them, but you still lack a masterpiece?

"Do you understand now?"

Gu Miao took a deep breath and said: "The industry cake is getting bigger, and everyone wants to come in and take a bite, and Penguin is no exception."

"Mr. Gu, what should we do?"

Ma Kui was a little nervous.

Don’t be nervous! After all, Penguin Group is an Internet giant with a market value of over one trillion. If such a giant breaks into the animation market, it will inevitably affect Wanbao Animation.

Looking at the bright side, Penguin's entry is a good thing, which proves that Chinese comics have attracted the attention of giants and are no longer the small, transparent and marginalized industry they used to be.

Think the worst...

What's Penguin's style? The Guoman cake is so big. He definitely wants to eat the biggest piece. If he eats it, what will Wanbao eat?

“Let your works speak for itself!”

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "What? When we hear the name Penguin, we have to raise our hands and surrender?"

Dreaming!

Gu Miao single-handedly created the current Wanbao Group, which can be regarded as starting from scratch.

If he were asked to give up everything he has now and give up his throne as the No. 1 domestic animation, Gu Miao would only answer one word: Get out!

Isn't it just competition? Who is afraid of whom?

Penguin is indeed a top company. Not only does it have strong financial resources, it also owns the copyrights of N popular online novels and comics. It is a giant from the beginning.

But Wanbao Animation is not bad either.

Gu Miao does not think that Penguin has the ability to replace Wanbao Animation and become the leading domestic animation company.

"Be confident!"

Gu Miao pursed her lips and said, "We are the ones defending the challenge. No matter it's a penguin or anyone else, whoever is bold enough comes here."

"Before that, let me show the newcomers to the industry a little bit, our Wanbao... strength as the No. 1 domestic animation!"

"How to show it?"

Ma Kui had a question mark on his face.

He understands the principle of flexing muscles to deter competitors, but the problem is that Wanbao Animation has not released any new works recently?

wrong!

A term suddenly came to mind, and Ma Kui asked: ""Light Envoy"?"

Snap!

Gu Miao stretched out her hand, snapped her fingers, and nodded: "Yes, it's this animation! Lightning Studio just told me that the animation "Light Envoy" has been approved for action."

The project of "Light Envoy" was established very early.

As early as February this year, just before "The Moon Is So Beautiful" was about to be broadcast, Lightning Studio had drafted relevant plans.

Then production starts in May.

Due to limitations of funds and manpower, the construction period was very long, and it was not until December, that is, the post-production was just completed two days ago.

This is not only the third original animation work produced by Inazuma Studio, following "Lightning Rush" and "Dragon Fighter".

It will also be Wanbao Animation, the last TV animation this year!

That's right!

It's already December, and the Gregorian New Year is coming soon. Even the fastest-moving "Dragon Fighter 2" won't be completed until January next year.

Therefore, "Light Envoy" can be regarded as the final work of Wanbao Animation this year.
