My Animation Era

Let the people of the future worry about the future!

After comforting Uncle Shi, who was worried about having no successor, Gu Miao, as the special award-presenting guest of this global finals, announced a piece of good news after awarding the award.

Wanbao Animation will launch the second TV animation in the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" series this year.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel City!

After the adventure in the Duel Kingdom ended, Yugi and his friends returned to Jiangchuan. In order to promote Duel Monsters and its own holographic battle projection system, Kaiba invested heavily in holding the first "Duel City" competition.

At the same time, the mysterious slate from ancient Egypt came to Jiangchuan for exhibition, the secret of the thousand-year-old artifact was gradually revealed, the terrifying dark duel, the strange God's Card...

Stay tuned for the second game in the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh!" series, "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel City"!

have to say.

When it comes to playing cards, Gu Miao may not be a match for the audience, but when it comes to painting... With all due respect, everyone here is rubbish!

What a wonderful global finals, but he turned it into a press conference for Wanbao Animation. As soon as a cake was drawn, it aroused heated discussion on the entire Internet.

Yu-Gi-Oh is still quite popular.

At least among the completed animations, "Yu-Gi-Oh!" has always been at the forefront of popularity and discussion thanks to the popularity of its peripheral derivatives.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon.

After looking forward to it for so long, we are looking forward to the news of the new work. It’s strange that everyone is not excited!

But after the brief excitement...

I don’t know who was the first to come back to his senses, raised his hand and asked: "That’s not right! Where is the second season of "That Rabbit" that was promised? Where is the second season of "Pokémon"? The second season of "Happy Baby" What about the second season? What about the extra chapter of "The Moon Is So Beautiful"?"

Well!

Gu Miao, who was stunned by the series of questions, saw the audience getting more and more excited, realized that something was wrong, and decisively found an excuse to run away.

If you don't run away, something might happen!

Didn't you see that all the spectators looked at him as if they were looking at the enemy who killed his father?

What hatred and resentment!

Gu Miao ran away from the fire escape of the gymnasium in despair. Not daring to stay for a second longer, Gu Miao immediately held a meeting when she returned to the company.

The first is to determine the director of "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel City".

Although he calls himself a painter, Gu Miao has always meant what he says. Once he says he will do something, he will definitely try his best to do it well.

Director Huang Kun has nothing to say.

As for the second season of "Pokémon", which has been highly requested by everyone and the previous work was also very popular, it was naturally left to Hou Bin.

Neither of them had objections to this arrangement.

If there is any problem, it is that Huang Kun will get married soon. I'm afraid he won't be able to spare much time, so he has to arrange for Ma Kui to help him.

…

The good news of Huang Kun's marriage quickly spread throughout the company, and even Mr. Xiong, who was on a business trip, also received the news.

After expressing congratulations over the phone, he also told Gu Miao a piece of good news.

Last year.

After Gu Miao's introduction, the animation investment company established by Mr. Little Bear purchased the rights to adapt many popular comic series on the Bibi Comics website.

Then he entrusted a domestic animation company to be responsible for the production. Today, these animations are almost done and can be arranged for broadcast.

Little Bear didn't invest much money.

These comic adaptations are essentially low-cost animations. On average, an animation only costs about 10 million.

Considering the subject matter, it would be difficult to get it aired on a TV station.

So Mr. Bear wanted to sell it to Wanbao Video, hoping to broadcast it on the Wanbao Video website.

"sure!"

Gu Miao had no reason to refuse. Anyway, they were low-cost animations, so it was good to buy them to fill the copyright library.

What about playback volume?

Just let it happen!

As long as the playback volume is not ridiculously low, he can accept it. Not to mention, among the comic animations invested by Mr. Bear, there is an animation with a tomb robbing theme that is very attractive.

No matter how you look at it, it’s unlikely to be a loss.

Compared with these, he is actually more worried about "Date A Live" produced by the "King of Harem" from Wanbao (Neon) Division.

In the harem series, dating should be considered a relatively popular category.

But the problem is also obvious.

After this animation is introduced into the country, it will never be broadcast on TV platforms and can only be broadcast exclusively on the Wanbao Video website.

Neon animations are mostly produced weekly.

Because of this, after the animation "Date A Live" was planned, the first episode was quickly produced and broadcast on Neon.

The response has been overwhelming!

The dead nerds of the second dimension have no resistance to this kind of subject matter where beautiful girls gather together. After the first episode of "Date to Fight" was aired, the praises were endless.

Wanbao Video has also been introduced.

Domestically, the playback volume of the first episode of "The Battle" is also very good. Even without large-scale publicity, it still attracted many two-dimensional enthusiasts.

But...

Just popularity, no money!

As far as Gu Miao knows, the Wanbao (Neon) division has invested a lot of money in this animation, which can be said to be a waste of money in all aspects.

After the battle was broadcast, although it received a good response and won praise and praise from many two-dimensional enthusiasts, it did not make any money!

Is it really easy to make money in the second dimension?

That also depends on how you earn it!

You wouldn’t think that the dead man would obediently hand over the money to his father-in-law, Uncle Gu, after a few glances at the screen and calling his wife a few times, right?

not that simple!

If you only consider animation, the income is actually not that high. At least judging from the current situation after the animation is launched, if you want to make a profit, you can only find another way.

any solution?

Produce figures, spin-off games, and various peripherals...

Wanbao Animation has always specialized in minors! In other words, Gu Miao has been making money as a primary school student.

For adults, especially the dead house area, there really isn’t much involved.

no way!

We can only make a few previews of the surrounding figures based on the original experience of "Sailor Moon" to test the fans' reaction.

The results are eye-catching.

As the animation has been updated to the second episode, the character setting of Tohka has become more and more charming. The [Yatogami Tohka] figure, which was originally on pre-sale, was quickly filled with orders.

"Oh!"

"It's incredible, it's incredible!"

Lao He, who had always felt that it was difficult to make money as an adult, his eyes lit up when he saw the full order of [Yatogami Tohka] figures in the backstage.

This is the first time...

For the first time, the pre-sale order for figures was full and the pre-sale link was forced to be removed.

For Wanbao toys who rarely make a lot of money, the animated "Date A Live" opened the door to a new world for them.

It was also at this time that Lao He discovered it.

The reason why he feels that it’s hard to make money in 2D and that otakus have more money but less money is because they haven’t caught the interest of otakus in 2D!

As long as you hit their XP and satisfy their fantasies, the money seems to be easier to earn than a primary school student? It is not an exaggeration to describe it as picking up money in a sack!
