My Animation Era

The broadcast of the animation "Dragon Ball" attracted many comic fans to watch.

Thanks to the current popularity of the "Dragon Ball" manga, the anime's premiere was not as bleak as expected, and the ratings were quite good.

only……

Today's TV animation is completely an alternative life extension of comics. More than half of the audience who came to watch the animation were comic fans.

In other words, there are very few casual fans!

This also attracted the attention of the entire animation production team. After discussion, everyone came to the conclusion that this is actually a normal phenomenon.

no way.

The animation has not yet reached the level of the World's Best Budokai. It relies entirely on humorous plots, and its appeal to passers-by is not as high as expected.

The first season is like this...

The main theme of the first season of the animation was a comedy, but when Dragon Ball Z started, the endless and exciting battles began.

in a sense.

The "Dragon Ball" animation began to accumulate a large number of fans, and even finally became able to compete with comic fans. That started with Z.

It is expected that after the first episode of the first season of the anime is aired, a large number of Yun fans who have never read the comics will appear in an instant, and the number is even more than the fans of the comics. How is this possible?

You know everything with your butt.

In the early days of Dragon Ball animation, the main audience was comic fans. If you make a cut now, the only result will be "animation sudden death".

Gu Miao actually takes a relatively light view of the fact that there are too few casual fans and the influence of the "Dragon Ball" IP has not been further spread after the animation premiered.

This is just the beginning, why are you anxious?

He has never felt that Dragon Ball animation is the kind of work that "debuts at its peak". The historical status of Longzhu IP can be achieved step by step.

I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, this is only the first episode of the first season!

Average ratings and few viewers?

Isn’t this normal!

It’s not like every animation has to be a hit on the entire network before it is aired. It’s okay to build on your experience.

The first season of the "Dragon Ball" animation + Z + Super + GT all added up, there are hundreds of episodes!

Determining success or failure based on one episode or one season?

Stop being funny!

When the "Dragon Ball" manga started being serialized a few months ago, wasn't it much worse than the current animation?

Gu Miao seemed to still remember.

At that time, the editor of the magazine responsible for serializing the "Dragon Ball" comics publicly stated that it was an extremely shameful decision for the magazine to cooperate with Wanbao to serialize "Dragon Ball"!

What's the result now?

As the popularity of the "Dragon Ball" comics has risen, a dark horse has made a counterattack and has directly become the most popular comic series this year. The editor immediately performed a "Sichuan Opera Face Changing" for everyone.

"shame?"

"No, no, no! Dragon Ball is my favorite work, and Wanbao is also my favorite company. Please don't say bad things about "Dragon Ball" and Wanbao in the future, otherwise I will fall out with you..."

Look!

What is reality in the world?

This is true for comics, and Gu Miao believes the same is true for animation.

The current downturn or lack of popularity is just an illusion. "Dragon Ball" will eventually prove the value of influencing a generation around the world.

…

The news that the animation "Dragon Ball" will be broadcast on Neon TBS TV station has actually been reported in China.

But no one paid attention.

After all, they are too far apart. The work that domestic animation fans are most concerned about recently is definitely the second animated film brought by Plum Blossom Animation this year after "The Horse".

"Lotus Lantern"!

Previously, Galloping Horses reached the top of the box office, setting a new record for the highest box office in domestic film history.

Later, "Baolian Lantern" was released, which is also a Chinese comic work. Everyone is looking forward to the wonderful performance of this film.

Someone even raised a question.

Assuming that the box office of "Lotus Lantern" also breaks the record, and the final result is better than Wanbao's "The Galloping Horse", will that be a shot in the arm for the Chinese comic industry?

[A shot in the arm? Sildenafil! 】

[Not to mention breaking records, as long as the box office of "Lotus Lantern" can exceed 1 billion, I can guarantee that there will definitely be a large number of animated movies next year...]

[There are galloping horses in the front and lotus lanterns in the back. Rational analysis, this year should be the strongest year for Chinese comics, right? 】

[By the way, are you too optimistic? "Lotus Lantern" hasn't even been released yet, and you're already discussing these things? 】

[A pure passer-by has this to say. Judging from the trailer, the production quality of "Lotus Lantern" surpasses that of "Running Horses". How could the box office be low? 】

You're such a "pure" person.

Through the network cable, Gu Miao seemed to hear the sound of Meihua Animation tapping the abacus.

Bundled promotion?

This is a good idea. After all, the most popular work of Chinese comics right now is "Riding Horses" which just broke the box office record of domestic movies.

Meihua Animation thought of this move and bundled the two movies for promotion. Although Gu Miao was a little disgusted, she didn't say anything.

Quan should return the favor!

If you like to promote bundling, then bundle it for them! Anyway, "Ride the Horse" will be released soon, so Wanbao has nothing to lose.

As for the effect of publicity...

Gu Miao is not very optimistic about the box office prospects of "Lotus Lantern", even though he admits that the quality of this movie may be very high.

He also watched the trailer.

Just by looking at the trailer, the quality of the movie "Lotus Lantern" is indeed very high. To put it bluntly, Plum Blossom Animation must have cost a lot of money.

But film quality does not equal box office!

If high-quality movies would do well at the box office, there wouldn't be so many so-called "bad movies."

Gu Miao has a source of information.

As far as he knows, the movie "Lotus Lantern" is indeed an animated film that can be called a "explosion of funds", and Meihua Animation has indeed put a lot of thought into it.

Putting aside everything else, just hiring a king-level singer to sing the theme song of a movie is such a big deal that Wanbao can't compare to.

But...

Spending money doesn’t mean it’s good to watch, and just because it’s good doesn’t mean you have to buy a ticket to see it.

If Gu Miao's intelligence source is correct, then the story told in the movie "Lotus Lantern" is most likely a tragedy.

To be precise, it causes depression!

Are you still playing with a hammer?

It’s not that it doesn’t look good when shot like this, but the target audience is not clear enough, and the positioning is really not right.

August is summer vacation!

It was released during the summer vacation, and its promotion was aimed at primary school students and teenage audiences. As a result, after all this happened, isn't it a hot face but a cold butt?

Will primary school students like your depressing plot? Can teenagers understand the love-hate entanglement in the plot?

can only say.

It’s been so long since the tragedy of Mr. Little Bear and “Kuiba” happened, but there are still people in the Chinese comic circle who haven’t learned their lesson. They always think that they understand the audience and movies very well...

I hope it’s not too miserable!

Gu Miao, who has already sent away a bear boss, does not want to see another "national comic krypton gold player" also sent away by Joy.

Otherwise, if word spreads, others may think that he is the reincarnation of the God of Mold, who specializes in making money from Chinese comics!

It's still not sunny until the Spring Festival, so you should be in the finals, right?
