My Animation Era

Role stripping is unpopular knowledge.

Generally speaking, this kind of situation will only appear in animation works with "drama cool characters and fire".

The animation work failed, but the characters in it were unexpectedly popular and extremely popular. Under this premise, the animation producer will consider stripping the character out of the original work and recreating a new animation based on the popular character.

Is there any precedent for this approach?

The answer is yes!

For example, the well-known two-dimensional character, Misaka Mikoto! She is an ordinary character in the light novel "A Certain Magical Index".

Later, it was spun off and a side story comic "A Certain Scientific Railgun" of the same name was produced with Misaka Mikoto as the protagonist. This side story comic was eventually adapted into a TV animation and broadcast.

certainly!

Sister Pao's example is not appropriate.

Because Sister Pao's original work, "A Certain Magical Index", was not a blockbuster. On the contrary, this novel was actually quite popular.

Moreover, Sister Pao's character background has not been completely stripped away from the original work. It is still deeply related to "A Certain Magical Index", so it is also called a "side story".

This should be called self-reliance!

The real character stripping should be the type of "Penguins of Madagascar".

After the animated film "Madagascar" was released, the producer DreamWorks discovered that the few inconspicuous little penguins in the film, also known as the Penguin Gang (also known as the Penguin Gang), were very popular with audiences.

The protagonist, the lion, and his party were complained by countless viewers as being boring.

Since then, DreamWorks has completely understood what the audience wants to watch, and the Penguins immediately took over and independently produced the "Penguins of Madagascar" series of TV animations and animated films.

Although the story background of the "Penguins of Madagascar" series is still deeply connected with "Madagascar", these are two completely independent works.

This is called role stripping!

What Gu Miao wants to do is, like "Penguins of Madagascar", strip out some of the more popular characters from the original work and remake a season of animation.

Tell the truth!

The animation "The Beginning Elf, I Was Confessed by the Elf Chief" is indeed a piece of shit, with a vulgar harem plot of Long Aotian that even dogs would shake their heads after watching it.

But this animation also has an advantage, that is, the protagonist's harem, that is, the female characters, are very well portrayed and are very popular among male audiences.

Then here comes the problem.

Just let the protagonist go away, and also fire some unsatisfactory supporting characters. How about making a separate animation with these popular female characters as the protagonists?

"I think it's okay!"

Huang Kun raised his hands and feet in agreement: "I have long disliked that ugly protagonist. Let him go, change the background, change the story, and use these female characters as the protagonists. I will definitely support it!"

"I don't need your support."

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "What I want is the support of otakus. Do you think this can attract those otakus?"

"It's not a big problem."

"The main point of everyone's complaints is that the male protagonist is not good enough, and the plot is cliched and vulgar."

Huang Kun carefully analyzed: "If the female characters are stripped out, these problems will not exist. As long as you are willing to act cute and coquettish, you don't have to worry about Ah Zhai not buying it."

That would be great!

After getting a definite answer from Huang Kun, a half-dead man, Gu Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Huang Kun still didn't leave, he asked with some confusion: "Why are you still here? Go back and write your essay quickly!"

"no……"

"Mr. Gu, have you decided who will produce this animation? If the candidate hasn't been decided yet, what do you think about me?" Huang Kunmao recommended himself.

"you?"

Gu Miao glanced at Akun.

Under Akun's expectant gaze, he shook his head and said, "Don't think about it. Your greatest contribution will be to make the second season of "Bear Bears" a success."

"Who else could it be but me?"

Huang Kun was very unconvinced and boasted: "I dare say that no one in Wanbao except me can control such an animation with such a homely feel."

"You're not considered a nerd!"

"It depends on Hou Bin if you really want to be a homebody. He is a lot more homebody than you. I think he is completely qualified for this job."

Gu Miao said with confidence.

Wanbao has an average otaku per capita, but most of them are fake otakus, such as Guo Hongwei and Huang Kun. If they buy a few figurines and watch a few anime, they can say that they are senior otakus.

The real death of the house depends on Hou Bin.

This guy lives at home, but he has set a record of not going home for up to three months. He is a god who sits in the office every day and makes paper figures.

…

After sending away the regretful Huang Kun, Gu Miao told Hou Bin himself about the incident.

Hou Bin has no objection to this.

However, he also said that before the animation "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" is broadcast, he cannot spare time to work on the new work, so the project may need to be shelved for a while.

"Master Chef Xiao Fugui" has more than 100 episodes!

As the first TV animation work of Wanbao Animation with an investment of over 100 million, Hou Bin felt a lot of pressure, so he produced it very seriously.

Gu Miao was curious for a moment and inquired about the specific progress of "Master Chef Xiao Fugui". After learning that nearly 90% of the dubbing recording and post-production synthesis of this animation had been completed, she nodded with satisfaction.

It should be soon.

As expected, this animation should be similar to the "Crayon Shin-chan" theatrical version, and will be broadcast in time for the school season this spring.

To be honest, the "Crayon Shin-chan" theatrical version project was started later, but it progressed faster. In fact, it was completed before "Master Chef Fukuki".

This is not surprising.

After all, the theatrical version of "Dynamic Superman vs. the Swimsuit Demon" is called cost-saving at worst, and "TV extended version" at best.

This kind of theatrical version can't be expected to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to craft it as carefully as "The Lion King", right?

That's not the same level!

In addition to the theatrical version of "Master Chef Fukuki" and "Crayon Shin-chan", there is also an animation, and the production progress is also surprisingly fast.

That's right!

It was the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" that Gu Miao was talking about, directed and produced by the newly married Guo Hongwei, and adapted from the folk legend "Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate".

When we talked on the phone a few days ago, the animation had just been completed until Paopao met the circus leader Octopus, Aku, Meimei and others.

As a result, when I called today, Xiao Guo told Gu Miao that the animation had already been produced to the point where Aku obtains "Sapphire Blue Scales" and subdues the Golden Toad.

This progress is outrageous!

Gu Miao had wondered more than once. In order to earn money for milk powder, Xiao Guo didn't even return home and led his team to stay in the company 24 hours a day?

Oh yes!

His wife was pregnant before they got married. It seemed that it really didn't matter whether he went home or not. No one cared about his food and drink anyway, so he might as well just stay at the company and get free air conditioning!

There are more than 130 episodes of "Master Chef Xiao Fugui", which is extremely long. I replied earlier that I don't know why it is always automatically deleted by the system...
