My Animation Era

"Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" is one of the few animations produced by Wanbao that has a reputation ranging from low to high.

When it started airing, the audience frowned.

At that stage, few people could understand the special form of expression of "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang", and they all thought it was too "non-mainstream" and too "chaotic".

certainly!

With the animation finished, no one will say this anymore.

The current general evaluation is that the animation "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" is an animation with seriousness as its core and comedy as its skin, and it is worth watching.

"This is not a low rating!"

Gu Miao was very surprised to see the positive reviews and reports given by many media after the animation "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" was completed.

"It's really not low."

"Mr. Gu, there is something you may not know yet." Huang Kun said with a smile, ""Q Version Liu Guan Zhang" has been included in the recommended list of children's educational animations!"

"Although it sounds like nothing, this is a recommendation list from the education department. In a sense, it can be regarded as official recognition."

"Oh yes!"

Speaking of this, Huang Kun couldn't help but patted his forehead and said: "In addition to "Q Version Liu Guan Zhang", Puppet Studio's animation "Peacock Princess" was also selected."

"This is normal……"

Gu Miao was not surprised at all.

Not to mention the old animation "Peacock Princess", when Puppet Studio's latest "Afanti's Story" comes out, it will probably be on this recommendation list.

Don't ask why.

The animations produced by Puppet Studio are in line with official preferences in all aspects, from "topic selection" to "story" to "background" and "type".

To put it simply, the comrades in the propaganda department and the leading comrades in charge of culture and education all like this kind of animation.

Maybe in their opinion.

Domestic animations should develop in the direction of "Peacock Princess" and "The Story of Afanti". From topic selection to story, they are full of positive energy and are conducive to national unity and publicity needs.

Of course, this is destined to be a luxury hope.

Animations of a special nature like "The Peacock Princess" and "Afanti's Story" are okay to watch for freshness once in a while.

If you really ask everyone to give up commercial animation and concentrate on this kind of animation, there will only be one end: starve to death!

Speaking of which.

Gu Miao suddenly remembered that Director Wang, who had been promoted to work in the capital, seemed to be very concerned about the animation "The Story of Afanti" and called him repeatedly to urge him to broadcast it as soon as possible.

In his words.

He used to be the director of a TV station, and he was most concerned about ratings and whether the TV station could earn advertising fees.

Now I have changed my position.

Although he still deals with animation, his focus is no longer on superficial and vulgar data such as ratings, but on "social impact."

Put yourself in his shoes.

The value represented by one "Afanti Story" may be greater than ten animations with ratings exceeding 10 points.

So, he was very anxious.

Lao Wang, who has just taken office, needs to show some "political achievements" to consolidate his position.

As a small leader in charge of the animation industry, what better way to reflect his achievements than animation like "The Story of Afanti"?

"What's the credit for Director Wang?"

Huang Kun said speechlessly: "If I remember correctly, it seems that "Afanti's Story" did not have a penny to do with him from project establishment to production, right?"

"There's still a little bit..."

"The Puppet Studio received a lot of official subsidies and support funds. Rounding up, he can be considered involved in the production."

After coughing, Gu Miao immediately warned: "By the way, don't call me Director Wang. I have been promoted, and now you are Director Wang!"

"Okay, okay, Director Wang!"

Reluctantly changing his mind, Huang Kun asked: "Since he cares so much about "The Story of Afanti", can he help us secure the CCTV schedule?"

"Don't worry about that."

Gu Miao shook her head and smiled: "As early as when the Puppet Studio cooperated with China Overseas Film Studio and the relevant news came out, CCTV took the initiative to come to our door."

"Huh? So proactive?"

Huang Kun was a little surprised.

Is this still the CCTV that he remembers as aloof and indifferent to everyone? Why were you so proactive this time, why did you come here to ask questions before you even finished the animation?

"Because this is Meiying Studio, because this is Avanti, and because this subject matter is very special!"

Gu Miao smiled and explained: "You should be able to understand what I said, right?"

Huang Kun nodded.

In fact, Gu Miao could probably guess this without explaining it.

However, he was still a little surprised to get a positive answer from Gu Miao. I didn’t expect that in the eyes of CCTV, the subject matter was so important?

As long as the subject matter is suitable, you don't need to see how well the feature film is done, just buy it with your eyes closed.

Is this... a little hasty?

Gu Miao didn't know what Huang Kun was complaining about in his heart. After leaving the office, he called Liang Xiaodong.

While it was still early, he planned to go to the Puppet Studio to conduct an on-site inspection of the production progress of the animation "Afanti's Story".

Because it is a co-produced animation.

The entire animation production team is composed of the "Ocean's Twelve" from the Puppet Studio and some elites transferred from the American Film Studio.

The total number of people exceeded 50!

With so many people, the original office space was not enough. Combined with puppet animation, a large number of "physical props" and models need to be produced, so...

The production team of the animation "Afanti's Story" has its office located in the Wanbao Toy Factory on the outskirts of Jiangchuan City.

Don't ask why you came to the factory.

The question is, it is convenient here. There are various materials and equipment molds used to make physical model props.

Moreover, there are so many people in the factory!

There are a lot of workers and masters watching the excitement. When the animation production team needs help, they just need to shout to the workshop and they can immediately recruit dozens of strong men with big waists and thick arms.

Oh yes!

Although the production team is located next to the factory, the environment is very quiet and does not seem noisy.

If it were an ordinary animation production team, they would definitely like to stay in a comfortable office building in the city and work in front of the computer.

But Puppet Studio is different.

If you just stay in an office building and sit in front of a computer, you will definitely not be able to make excellent "puppet animation". On the contrary, such an environment is more suitable for the production team to display their "hands-on skills".

When Gu Miao arrived by car and saw Liang Xiaodong waiting by the roadside, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

What's going on?

Liang Xiaodong, who has always been polite and well-controlled, why is he so embarrassed today? There was a large bruise on his face, and there was a plaster on the corner of his mouth...

"Who did you fight with?"

"No fight!"

Seeing the surprised expression on Mr. Gu's face, Liang Xiaodong covered his face and said helplessly: "I was kicked by a donkey!"

Well……

Gu Miao never dreamed that a joke like "You got kicked in the head by a donkey" would come true one day.

real or fake? !
