My Animation Era

The online serialization platform for Bibi comics and Bibi light novels was established two years ago.

Thanks to Wanbao Group's persistent investment and publicity, and its early entry into the market, it is almost impossible to find similar competitors, so it has developed rapidly in the past two years.

Up to now.

There are more than 250,000 cartoonists who have registered with Bibi Comics and have their works published and serialized. In the light novel section of Bibi, the number of writers who have published light novels has exceeded 500,000.

Among them, the three major regions of China, Neon and North America are the regions where the business of Bibi comics and Bibi light novels has developed best.

According to statistics, the number of downloads of Bibi Comics APP has exceeded 1 billion times, of which there are 78 million active users.

It's a pretty huge platform.

Gu Miao had a flash of inspiration and decided to imitate the domestic online novel platform to create Bip Comics, which has become a leading company in the global ACG online serialization industry.

The platform has become so big, and the number of new comics and light novels serialized on it is naturally an astronomical number...

Among so many works, even 90% are a piece of shit, unsightly works. Only 10% of comics and light novels have commercial value, which is not a small number.

Wanbao Animation alone would be too busy to adapt so many excellent comics and light novels into animations.

All Gu Miao can do is "select the best from the best" and select a few leading works in all aspects from countless excellent works.

As for the rest of the work…

Of course, it is released for other domestic or foreign animation companies to purchase the copyright and adapt it into animations.

Under this premise, Gu Miao thought of Mr. Xiong.

On the one hand, Little Bear is always one of his own.

It is much better to share the cake with your own people than to give it to outsiders. There are always people rushing to eat the leftovers anyway, so why not give them to good brothers?

On the other hand, after Mr. Bear took power, he had a lot of money in his hands.

He has sufficient financial resources to invest in the adaptation of multiple animation projects. If it had been anyone else, they might have gone bankrupt halfway through.

Ever since.

After the two briefly reached a consensus, Mr. Xiong quickly established an investment company called "Haiwa" in Jiangchuan.

Then, in the name of this company, the copyrights of many high-quality serial comics and light novels were purchased from the Bibi Comics platform.

Do not misunderstand!

Little Bear never makes his own animations.

After he gets the rights to adapt it, he will not film it himself. Instead, the entire project is packaged to a domestic or foreign "animation production company/team".

simply put.

He is only responsible for providing funds and IP, leaving the animation production to a professional team.

That way there's no problem.

Gu Miao also helped with some ideas for the IP chosen by Mr. Bear.

Don’t look at the huge number of popular works on the Bip Comics and Bip Light Novel platforms. But most of them are "hot chicken" with extremely low commercial value.

for example.

Bip Comics Platform, a "different world" comic that just started serialization in March this year, is very popular and has many fans.

At first glance, it seems very worthy of adaptation.

But in fact, this is a piece of shit, because the name of this comic is "Across the Heavens Begins from Chuangjie Mountain"!

It’s weird that this can be adapted into animation.

After all, it was a "big customer" + one of his own. Gu Miao couldn't bear to see Xiao Xiong spending a lot of money to buy a bunch of hot chicken copyrights.

So during the selection, he provided Mr. Little Bear with a lot of inside information.

For example, which work has a higher "follow-up rate" among readers, which proves that the work is very sticky. Another example is that if something happens to the author of a work, the work will most likely be unfinished and discontinued...

certainly!

When Little Bear was always choosing suitable works, Gu Miao was not idle either. He also selected several good comic series and light novels for Wanbao Animation.

Among them was a neon detective mystery comic, which surprised him.

"Super Detective Doyle"!

This comic tells the story of a super-powered detective who can read crime scene scenes by touching "evidence". He uses his own abilities to continuously solve cases and eventually becomes a great detective like "Sherlock Holmes".

Blanch!

Why did Gu Miao notice this comic?

Of course it's because he has read this comic! Moreover, in the comics, the protagonist's method of reasoning about the case seems "familiar" to him.

To this end, he also specially added the contact information of the original author and asked him about the origin of this comic.

This question made him stupid.

It turns out that the detective comic that this cartoonist originally wanted to draw was actually a purely "brain-level" reasoning like Sherlock Holmes, and did not involve super powers.

The name of the protagonist he originally thought of was not called Doyle, but Conan.

As a result, when he submitted his article, an editor named "Tudou" from Wanbao Beep Comics responded to him.

[The imagination is very good, and the painting skills are quite satisfactory, but the plot is too bland and it is difficult to bring novelty to readers. It would be even better if some novel elements such as superpowers and aliens could be added...]

[The name of the protagonist can easily make people misunderstand that he is the protagonist of "Future Boy Conan". I hope it can be corrected...]

Okay!

In order to pass the manuscript and publish his work on the Bibi Comics platform, this new cartoonist had to make some modifications to the original manuscript according to the editor's "suggestions."

After the revision, the mystery comic titled "Super Detective Doyle" was published as expected and achieved unexpected success on the Bip Comics platform.

The author not only became famous and had a large number of fans, but also earned an enviable and generous royalties.

But he still expressed his regrets in his communication with Gu Miao.

He believes that although "Detective Doyle" has achieved great success, it is not the mystery comic he wants to draw.

He still felt that he should not follow the editor's suggestion and revise the manuscript.

[Thank you for your encouragement. I will end the serialization of "Detective Doyle" as soon as possible. The new work will definitely surprise you! 】

Gu Miao: "..."

Gu Miao, who accidentally dug up an epic material, didn't know what to say.

After finishing the communication with the comic author, he immediately called Nantong and asked him to deduct the [Potato] editor's bonus for this month.

Don't ask why.

It hurts to ask! "Detective Conan" is so good, what bad idea did you, the editor, come up with?

Fuck your uncle’s superpowers!

You like superpowers, right? Gu Miao also has the ability to "money", so deducting one month's bonus from you is not excessive, right?

Gu Miao was so angry about this incident that she couldn't eat. She didn't even care about the upcoming wedding. All she could think about was how to lead the neon cartoonist to the right path.

Don't have super powers...

This kind of crooked path is destined to fail in the long run.

Be it mystery comics or mystery novels. The important thing is the "reasoning" step, rather than watching the protagonist show off his so-called "superpowers".

There is no reasoning process and all the cheating is based on super powers. What kind of "detective" is this?

I haven't watched "Future Boy Conan", so I don't know what genre it is. If you know something about it, you can tell me...
