My Animation Era

Get sponsorship!

This is something an animation company often does.

Not to mention that the Wanbao family has a huge business and looks down on this small amount of money. No matter how much Wanbao money you have, you can't waste it casually. You have to get sponsorships when you need them, so it's better to save as much as you can.

Gu Miao had this in mind when deciding to produce the animation for "Prince of Tennis".

Is it possible to discuss with those sports equipment brands to get sponsorship? Anyway, adding a trademark to things like rackets and ball machines won’t look too out of place.

It was just an idea at the time.

As for whether this sponsorship can be obtained, to be honest, Gu Miao herself is not sure. He just asked Ma Kui to contact him, and it would be best if he could negotiate a deal. It didn't matter if he couldn't negotiate.

Unexpectedly, the deal was finally concluded!

A professional tennis sports brand from Pengcheng agreed to sponsor the "Prince of Tennis" animation and provided an extremely considerable sponsorship fee to the animation production team.

Of course, the requirements are also very simple.

Their company mainly produces racket products, so they asked Gu Miao to give more close-up pictures of the players' rackets so that the audience can see the trademark LOGO on the racket grip.

This is sprinkled with water!

Even if the opponent does not mention this request, the animated "Prince of Tennis" will often show close-ups of the racket.

It’s just a logo, it’s not a big deal.

The sponsorship was quickly finalized, and at the same time, the Wanbao Cup and the National Middle School Tennis Competition, which were exclusively sponsored by Wanbao Group led by Gu Miao and dozens of domestic middle schools signed up to participate, were about to start.

This is Gu Miao's bad taste.

In reality, there are no tennis competitions for middle school students participated in by schools, but rather tournaments based on individual player registrations.

There is no way, middle school is not easy to organize.

At the university level, it may be more realistic to hold competitions on a school basis, but at the middle school level, it is difficult to organize a middle school national competition like this.

After Gu Miao learned the news, he immediately stated that he would sponsor this event and actively contacted middle school tennis departments across the country.

The response was very enthusiastic.

If we compete in schools as a unit, wouldn't the collective sense of honor be enhanced?

Competition abbreviation: Wanbao Cup!

Although it is just a cup competition, the contestants are all from various middle schools, and they are ordinary middle school and high school students.

But Gu Miao has great ambitions.

He is thinking about upgrading this event to a world-class inter-school tennis competition for middle school students after the "Prince of Tennis" animation is aired.

Determine the best tennis high school in the world!

This kind of inter-school tennis competition focusing on junior high school students is quite rare to be honest, and it has little exposure and no sponsors worth mentioning.

But what level is Wanbao?

Sponsored by Wanbao Group, and coupled with the popularity of the "Prince of Tennis" animation after its broadcast, this event will definitely become very popular.

Maybe...

Many years later, there may be many professional tennis players who all came from this middle school tennis competition.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that Gu Miao hopes that by sponsoring such competitions, more domestic children will fall in love with the sport of tennis.

It would be best to have one or two legendary tennis players with status comparable to [Echizen Nanjiro].

Okay, that's a bit fake.

However, holding more events like this will allow the sport of tennis to penetrate more into campuses. Maybe it won't have any effect in a short period of time.

But as time goes by, domestic tennis players will definitely spring up like mushrooms after a rain. It is not difficult for one or two top players to appear.

…

The production of the animated "Prince of Tennis" is still in full swing.

As of now, the school ranking competition of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has not yet been completed! Ryoma is still fighting fiercely with Qian Zhenzhi, and is still some time away from becoming a regular member.

And on the other side.

It is also a key project of Wanbao Animation in the first half of this year, and it is a special animated film. The production progress of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is very gratifying.

Du Hao has been in seclusion for almost a month.

During this month, everyone knew what he was busy with and knew that the movie "Horse Galloping" had entered its final sprint, so no one bothered him.

Until two days ago.

Gu Miao suddenly received a call from Du Hao and was invited by him to come to the production team of the movie "Horse Galloping" to see the results of his month of retreat.

The so-called results are actually only 5 minutes...

That's right!

Du Hao led the production team of the movie "Horse Galloping" to retreat for a month and only produced 5 minutes of animation.

Although it sounds short, after all, an animated movie can easily last seventy or eighty minutes, and some can even exceed hundreds of minutes. A mere five minutes is nothing to mention.

But Gu Miao didn't think so.

Having read the complete script, he knew that these short five minutes were definitely the essence of the entire "Horse" movie.

The room suddenly went dark.

The screening room, with all the lights turned off, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Gu Miao, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the screen with all her attention.

"Come on, cookie!"

"Run faster, run faster!"

The screen showed Big Wolf and Pleasant Goat standing on the sidelines cheering for the cookies.

The costumes of the two are very interesting.

Pleasant Goat held a cheering stick in his hand, and Big Big Wolf tied a red ribbon with "Come on" on his head and beat the drum desperately.

Not far away is the racecourse.

The tall and handsome horse elites were like a whirlwind blowing through the sky, kicking up dust all over the sky at an alarming speed.

Among the horses, Biscuit, who is dark, ugly, thin and runs slowly, is particularly eye-catching.

He ran too slowly.

Not only was he thrown away by a large distance, but his running posture was also extremely ugly, as if he was jumping forward.

Seeing this, everyone in Yangcun and Big Big Wolf's family were extremely worried.

The animals on the grassland laughed at Biscuit one after another. They didn't understand how a good horse racing meeting could have such an embarrassing contestant?

"Biscuit, my brother!"

"You are a disgrace to the horse family. A short, thin, dark and ugly horse like you, who would like you..."

Running in front is Biscuit's brother. Unlike Biscuit, who is short and skinny, he is a tall and mighty white horse.

He turned around, glanced at the biscuit hanging at the back of the team, and then passed his opponent without saying a word.

"I'm not a disgrace!"

"I also have partners, and I also have people who support me! I want to run for the Big Big Wolf and the Pleasant Goat..."

Biscuit, as if stimulated by his brother, changed from his usual cowardly and timid nature, and suddenly gained strength and started to run with great strides.

The special training of Big Big Wolf and Pleasant Goat still worked. At least Biscuit's current running posture is much more effective than before.

The speed has also become faster!

But his injured leg was still a huge hidden danger. The special instruments invented by Big Big Wolf and Slow Sheep failed to completely cure him.

As the saying goes.

The more you don’t want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen!

The hidden danger of leg injury, which had not occurred in training before, broke out in this extremely critical game.

Biscuit accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground in pain.

When he stood up unsteadily, he was not only far behind the others, but also running slower than before because of his leg injury.

"Cookies! Cookies!"

"Come on! Brother Biscuit..."

Just when Biscuit was feeling discouraged, the sound of cheers from Xiao Huihui, Lazy Yangyang and others in the stands reached his ears, making him regain his confidence again.

"Biscuit, you are not a qualified race horse, you can't run at all!"

"You are a disgrace to the horse clan!"

The past encounters reappeared before his eyes, and then the Big Big Wolf and the Pleasant Goat appeared, and everyone tried their best to help him.

"Big Big Wolf, I really can't run anymore..."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't finish this lap today, I will eat you right away!"

"Happy sheep……"

"Biscuit, you run so fast! After you finish resting, how about we compete again?"

With the encouragement of his companions, Biscuit found the meaning of running desperately. Looking at Big Big Wolf beating the drum desperately, Biscuit, who was so tired and sweaty, suddenly felt infinite strength.

"Biscuit speeds up!"

"So fast! He was like a bolt of lightning. He caught up with the No. 13 in front and passed him! He passed his opponent and he was still accelerating..."

run!

Keep running!

The meaning of running hard is not to cross the finish line, but to do it for those companions who believe in him. The biscuit at this moment is not fighting alone.

"Oops!"

The village chief, Manyangyang, seemed to have seen something, and was shocked and said: "Biscuit's legs... He can't run anymore, let him stop!"

Stop?

Biscuit heard the cry of Pleasant Goat. But he raised his head and stared at the finish line in front of him, and did not choose to stop.

Although limping.

Although not favored by others.

Although he is timid and cowardly, he still wants to cross the finish line. He wants to prove that he can and he can run fast...
