My Animation Era

"Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters" is a comic series with Gu Miao providing creative ideas and story scripts, and Nantong completing the subsequent creation.

The comic quickly became a sensation after it was published in Comic World magazine.

Its novel card gameplay and unique concept of seven artifacts have won the love of countless card game enthusiasts.

Based on this premise...

When he inspected Wanbao Comics not long ago, Gu Miao proposed to adapt the comic into a TV animation, with him as the director himself.

In fact, the adaptation project he booked for himself at the beginning was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

only.

Comrade Du Hao, who was sent by him to "read and study" at Wanbao Comics, also thought "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was great and proposed to adapt it into a live-action movie or TV series.

This matter is still under discussion.

But what is certain is that there will be many adaptation projects for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Even if Gu Miao is not involved, there is no shortage of excellent works.

So he changed his target, and based on his own preferences, he chose the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga, which was also very suitable for adaptation.

The project is already in the preparation stage.

Unsurprisingly, in mid-April or the end of April, Wanbao Animation will mobilize manpower to form the animation production team of "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Why so urgent?

On the one hand, this is because after the movie "Snake Comes Around" was released, the audience was eager to see Gu Sanshui's new work come out.

On the other hand, it's because.

The pressure from Zhonghai Plum Blossom Animation is a bit high. This year's Wanbao Animation must produce a blockbuster work that can "suppress luck".

Ordinary works are really not good...

Anime such as "Dragon Fighter 2", "Legend of Seven Swords" and "Aventi's Story" may become blockbuster hits.

But to be honest, these works lack the absolute dominance of "eternal dictatorship" like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Sailor Moon" and "Pig Man".

Yu-Gi-Oh! can do it!

This is not Gu Miao's blind confidence, but his past life memories tell him how much impact a trading card game with novel gameplay will have on children.

"How popular is Yu-Gi-Oh?"

The answer to this question is difficult to describe with specific data.

If you have to say it...

Around the turn of the millennium, the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" manga became a hit, and the anime adaptation received a huge hit after it aired. Its original author, Kazuki Takahashi, paid 1 billion yen in taxes alone, making him one of Neon's "big taxpayers."

This shows how popular the work "Yu-Gi-Oh!" or this IP is.

Present such a work.

Gu Miao didn't believe it. Under the suppression of Blue Eyes White Dragon, what else could Zhonghai Plum Blossom Animation do?

Invincible!

No matter what Meihua Animation does, it will be useless in the face of a phenomenal global hit anime like "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

After all, no matter how popular your animation is, it has never directly created an industry chain worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions like "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

A proper dimensionality reduction attack!

In order to curb the rise of Meihua Animation and avoid an impact on the market share, Gu Miao really did not follow martial ethics.

certainly……

No one knows the true power of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" except himself.

No one else in Wanbao knows either.

Although people like Huang Kun, Ma Kui and Zhang knew about Mr. Gu's new project, they really didn't believe that Mr. Gu's so-called "Duel Monster" could be so powerful.

no way!

Without seeing it with one's own eyes, it would be hard for anyone to believe that an inconspicuous, thin card could make children so obsessed and crazy.

…

Raisuden 3 is over.

As follow-up works, the animations "Afanti's Story" and "Dragon Fighter 2" were successively broadcast on CCTV Children's, CCTV Animation Park, and Kuka Children's Channel.

The time is staggered...

"Afanti's Story" has only 24 episodes in total, and will be broadcast in a set of CCTV animation parks in the afternoon slot of 17:00-18:00, and in CCTV children's evening slots of 21:00-22:00.

"Dragon Fighter 2" has a total of 46 episodes and will be broadcast on Kuka Children's Channel, Shonan Children's Channel, Zhonghai Children's Channel and Shannan Children's Channel at noon 12:00-13:00, 14:00-15:00, 18:00-19 :00 and other time slots.

Although it is a work of the same period.

However, due to the different number of episodes, different themes, different broadcast platforms, and staggered time periods, the impact is not actually very big.

Among the two Wanbao animations that premiered at the end of March, the most popular and the most anticipated animation by the audience is undoubtedly "Dragon Fighter 2".

Understandable.

After all, this is the orthodox TV sequel to last year's hit animation "Dragon Fighter", an original adventure story from another world!

compare to.

Also an animation produced by Wanbao, "Afanti's Story" is not very popular with the audience due to its name, subject matter, and popularity of puppet animation.

But then again.

Although it is not very popular with the audience and is not even discussed by anyone, "Afanti's Story" premiered on CCTV after all.

The value of the CCTV platform, including coverage, is definitely much stronger than that of local TV stations.

Because of this, the two animations premiered on the same day, and there was not a big gap in the ratings.

"Dragon Fighter 2" is slightly better.

However, the success is not much. After all, local TV stations, especially local children's channels, are completely incomparable with CCTV in terms of audience coverage and foundation.

This is not the point.

The point is that as time goes by, the reputations of the two animations begin to go in two completely different directions.

Although "Afanti's Story" is a very unpopular puppet animation, it has won praise from countless audiences for its excellent performances, interesting plot and production quality.

On the other hand, "Dragon Fighter 2" is different...

The story of Dragon Fighter 2 takes place not long after Xiaodu defeated the demon king Duobad and returned to the human world. Duobad, the younger brother of Duobad, invaded the Nandou Star Boundary Mountain.

The Holy Dragon Concubine urgently summons Xiaodu.

After Xiaodu learned the cause of the incident, he embarked on a journey to Xingjie Mountain with the Dragon God with the ardent expectations of everyone in Chuangjie Mountain.

By the way.

Xiaodu went on this trip to save the Star Boundary Mountain. In addition to his old friend Longshen, he was also accompanied by Simig, Master Shibalagu and others.

Okay!

Are you really born to work hard?

Regarding the fact that the protagonists and supporting characters of the first part are still used in the second season, some people think it is good, and some people think it is not good.

mainly……

The sense of instant vision is really strong!

Chuangjie Mountain? Star Boundary Mountain! How bad is it? How bad! Dragon God? Nova Dragon God!

After watching the first two episodes, the audience felt as if a thousand alpacas were rushing through their hearts and completely forgot what to say.

Is this really season 2?

Why do I feel like this is the Pro Max enhanced version of the first season of "Dragon Fighter" when I look at it?

Everyone wanted to see something different and fresh, but you showed them this?

The animated trilogy of "The Legend of Demon Heroes", my ranking is always 1\u003e3\u003e2...
