My Animation Era

The era of Pleasant Goat is over, now is the era of "Bear Bears"!

Hou Bin can understand this sentence.

After all, he is not an outsider. As a high-ranking figure in Wanbao Animation, he knows better than anyone else the huge potential of "Bear Infested".

But understanding is understanding. From an emotional point of view, he still can't accept the fact that the premiere of the fifth season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" on TV can't stop others from replaying it.

"You have to accept it even if you can't accept it."

"Looking at the bright side, the work that replaces Pleasant Goat is from our company. If it is replaced by animation from other companies, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable?"

Yes!

Gu Miao's comfort made Hou Bin feel much better.

It is indeed better to be killed and replaced by one's own people than to be killed and replaced by outsiders. After all, the former can only sigh a few words, while the latter will be depressed to the point of vomiting blood.

"Don't talk about this..."

Gu Miao, who waved her hand to express that she did not want to continue talking about this topic, turned to Hou Bin and asked: "How have you considered the project I told you before?"

"no problem."

"I have plenty of time and can start preparations now." Hou Bin said with some embarrassment, "It's just that I haven't finished watching the animation "The Starting Elf, I Was Confessed by the Elf Clan Leader"."

What's there to worry about?

Seeing the sad look on his face, Gu Miao thought she had encountered some kind of trouble, but she didn't expect that such a trivial matter was so speechless.

Strip the characters and re-create an animation with the more popular female characters from the original work as the core. This has nothing to do with whether you have watched the original work or not.

Think about it from another perspective.

In a sense, Hou Bin has not finished reading the original work, which is a good thing for him to separate the characters and start his own business.

"The original work has nothing to read, it's just an anime adaptation of a toilet paper-level light novel about a different world harem."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "You don't need to worry about the story told in the original work, the specific setting background, etc. You don't need to worry about these."

"You just need to re-create a world view and background setting system around these popular female characters, and do it according to original standards."

"Original standard?!"

"right!"

Seeing Hou Bin's thoughtful expression, Gu Miao quickly added: "In other words, except for the characters, which are borrowed from the original work, all other parts are original."

for example.

The original work is "Journey to the West". Considering that Brother Monkey is relatively popular, we will separate this character and make a "Monkey King vs. Calabash Brothers" that has nothing to do with the background of the original work.

Well, this example is inappropriate.

But the principle is the same, that is, based on a popular character, create a separate derivative work with original content as the main content.

"Should this be called an official fanfic?"

"Roughly the same!"

Gu Miao nodded and said: "This is indeed similar to a fan work. They are both born to the same mother and made by the same company. There is nothing wrong with calling it an official fan work."

"Then let me think about it..."

Hou Bin took out the draft paper and pen he had prepared in advance, and scribbled on it: "The first female character seems to be a blond, arrogant elf-human hybrid princess? She was rescued by the male protagonist when she was a child, and she is considered a childhood sweetheart? "

"Ah yes!"

Gu Miao nodded.

He knew this heroine. After the animation "The Beginning Elf, I Was Confessed by the Elf Leader" was broadcast, it became very popular.

Classic blonde tsundere twin tails.

In addition to this, there is another heroine who is a beautiful girl with long black hair and straight face, who is quiet on the surface but very sinister in reality.

"I know this."

Hou Bin wrote the second line, and then said: "The personalities of these two characters are relatively classic and normal. There is nothing original about them, but the personality of the third heroine..."

Although he is very cute, he prides himself on being ordinary. Let’s not talk about this Versailles comment. The key point is that he has an "exceptionally thin sense of existence" and is often ignored or even ignored by the people around him. What kind of BUG setting is this?

"It's not easy to do!"

Rubbing his eyebrows, Hou Bin said with a headache: "These three female protagonists have their own characteristics. It is much more difficult than I thought to separate their characters and make them into an original animation."

"yes!"

Gu Miao echoed.

The characters of these three heroines are indeed very distinctive. Taking the third heroine as an example, her presence is so thin that she will be ignored by the monsters. The protagonist takes her to defeat the devil, but the devil does not even notice her existence.

This is so outrageous.

But having said that, perhaps it is precisely because of the distinctive characters of these three heroines that they attract so many otaku fans, and many people still remember them.

It’s not easy to do...

The original work "The Starting Elf at the Start, I Was Confessed by the Elf Chief" is a piece of shit. The plot is lame and cliche, and the background worldview setting is unsightly.

I'm afraid it won't work if we continue to create another world. How about changing the backgrounds of these female protagonists to ordinary female high school students in modern cities?

"Eh!!"

Gu Miao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately thought of a passerby heroine who was very famous in the two-dimensional world. It seemed that she could match the character of the third heroine they were having a headache with.

"Do you think it's okay to change your career this way?"

"We changed the background of the story from a different world of swords and magic to a modern city. The heroines are all high school students."

Gu Miao gushed: "The story revolves around a group of boys and girls, and we plan to make a beautiful girl game based on Xiao Hui, who has a small presence, as the heroine..."

"Can it be done?"

Hou Bin looked a little surprised and said: "If you change it like this, the different world harem anime will be changed into a campus romantic comedy."

"What happened to campus love?"

"Compared to the clichéd harem theme of another world, I think this change is more interesting, and the urban background is closer to the audience's preferences."

That makes sense!

As a veteran dead house, Hou Bin thought about it for a while and found that this was indeed the case.

Compared with the distant adventure in another world, the two-dimensional paper people in the modern urban background are closer and more likely to make people feel familiar.

"OK! That's settled then."

Seeing that Hou Bin was convinced, Gu Miao made a decisive decision: "Let's call the project name "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine"! The first heroine Jiahui, the second and third heroines mixed-race Yinglili and senior sister Shiyu... …”

Ah this? !

Isn’t it a bit hasty to confirm tens of millions of projects in just a few sentences?

Hou Bin scratched his head and felt that although Mr. Gu's proposal was a good one, he was always like this, making decisions for others with just a slap on the forehead.

This is a project involving tens of millions of dollars. For other companies, it would take at least a dozen meetings to finalize it, but with Mr. Gu, the decision can be made in two or three sentences.

He is always so confident...

However, after these female protagonists were changed to urban female high school students, their characters were not inconsistent, but had a unique charm?

How strange!

Life is always full of surprises. After all, no one expects it. The three kilograms of jelly I bought when I got home said it was only two and a half kilograms...
