My Animation Era

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Gu Miao was still immersed in the joy of the launch of Wanbao Video, the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" quietly started broadcasting on CCTV Children's Channel.

The movement is really small...

Although Gu Miao has repeatedly emphasized that the ratings prospects of the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" cannot be underestimated and the company must do a good job in early publicity work, it is obvious that Xiao Guo does not take it too seriously.

This directly led to the fact that the news of the premiere of Little Carp Adventures was not widely known at all.

fortunately!

CCTV Children's Channel is generally a reliable platform. Even though Wanbao didn't say hello, they took the initiative to promote "The Adventures of Little Carp".

Relying on the big tree of CCTV and the CCTV Children's Channel's own viewership share is not low, the situation is not as bad as imagined.

The animation is broadcast in two episodes per day.

During the hour from 17:00 to 18:00, two episodes will be broadcast in sequence. Then it will be replayed again from 10 to 11 o'clock at noon the next day.

The first two episodes of the animation mainly tell the story of Bubble causing trouble and attracting the evil species Spiny Ball to the peaceful Carp Lake. In order to avoid being punished, he leaves the Carp Lake and encounters the "False Dragon King" Mangy Snake.

The pace of the story is quite good.

The plot is ups and downs and exciting. The abomination of the mangy snake, the kindness and kindness of Grandma Carp, and the cleverness and mischief of Bubble are all reflected in these two episodes of animation.

In terms of viewing experience, the first two episodes of the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" are not particularly exciting, but they are quite attractive. After watching them, I feel itchy and eager to know what Paopao's subsequent experience will be.

it is a pity……

The plot division of the animation is really clever, just like the "Chapter of Dog" in online novels, which ends abruptly when the audience/reader can't stop watching it.

When Paopao mistook the mangy snake for a real dragon and told him that there were a lot of spiny balls in his hometown of Liyu Lake, the audience knew that Paopao was in trouble again, and this time the trouble was quite big.

But the screenwriter is so stupid.

The second episode of the animation ends when Paopao decides to take Mangy Snake to Carp Lake. Want to know the follow-up?

Wait until tomorrow!

This kind of approach, which is comparable to a dog break, really makes many viewers grit their teeth with hatred, but it must be admitted that everyone's curiosity is aroused.

Curiosity is aroused, what will happen?

Naturally, I am worried about the future direction of the story, and I am full of expectations for the third and fourth episodes of the animation that will be broadcast tomorrow. I won’t turn around and forget about this anime after watching two episodes.

…

“Creating a sense of anticipation is important!”

Gu Miao, who was supervising the dubbing recording of the animated film "The Magic Soldier", smiled and said to Director Wang: "I think you all should learn the plot rhythm of "The Adventures of Little Carp". This sense of suspense is too strong."

The Adventures of Little Carp airs two episodes every day. The second episode leaves a bubble to lead the way for the mangy snake and the suspense of where Carp Lake will go.

Then in the fourth episode, the Mangy Snake's true identity is exposed, and he is so angry that he forces everyone to call him Dragon King. Under the protection of his grandma, Paopao escapes with difficulty, and his future is uncertain...

Look at this rhythm, this fragmentation!

There will definitely be a suspense left at the end of every two episodes, making the audience look forward to tomorrow's episode and not give up easily. This is definitely the plot control ability of an ace TV drama screenwriter.

That's why Gu Miao said that he hoped Wanbao and other producers would learn how to make continuous animation.

"What's the use of learning this?"

Director Wang rolled his eyes crazily and said: "I admit that this animation controls the rhythm of the plot very well and can be called gripping, but it is a fact that the ratings of the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" are not high."

"Oh, dogs look down on people."

Gu Miao said speechlessly: "The ratings are low because it has just started and there is not much publicity. With this plot rhythm, do you think the ratings can't increase?"

What a joke!

The animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" did not have very good first-run ratings, barely exceeding 1.5%, and its popularity was sluggish.

But there is a very unpopular channel change rate. The animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" is almost as good as "Bugs Bunny", which is shockingly low.

This shows what?

As soon as everyone sees the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp", they will basically not change the channel and watch the entire two episodes.

With such high audience stickiness and good word-of-mouth feedback, the ratings will rise sooner or later until it becomes the most popular animation this fall after "Bugs Bunny".

certainly!

Forget about surpassing Bugs Bunny.

The average ratings of "Bugs Bunny" have reached 9.46%, which is about to exceed 10 points. As the only animation with an average ratings of more than 10 points in the past two years, Bugs Bunny has already been ranked among the immortals. How can The Adventures of Little Carp possibly catch up? Got it?

But it can't surpass Bugs Bunny, and there is no problem in dominating the 17:00 pm slot. After all, there are no particularly eye-catching animations broadcast during this time period.

No, there is one...

Gu Miao almost forgot that during the time period from 17:00 to 18:00, there seemed to be an animation that performed well.

A passionate dance animation of youth - "Dancing Youth" produced by an animation company in Yangcheng.

Blanch!

When she first heard the name, Gu Miao thought it was a video tutorial on radio gymnastics, but she didn't expect it to be a dance-themed animation.

It mainly tells the story of a group of cute junior high school girls who formed a ballet troupe because of their common interests and signed up to participate in a national competition.

A bit like "Prince of Tennis"?

However, instead of playing tennis, this animation featured ballet dancing, and the name of the animation also reminded Gu Miao of a neon animation he had seen in his previous life.

Of course, these two animations have nothing to do with each other.

Although they are all dance-themed, this currently popular animation is obviously more in line with the characteristics of domestic animation, and it is still dancing ballet.

The ratings of "Youth Dance" are very good. It is said that the highest rating is four o'clock. If it is placed in the 17:00 pm slot, it will definitely be a strong rival of "The Adventures of Little Carp".

So here comes the question...

Can The Adventures of Little Carp really beat this animation and dominate the 17:00 pm time slot?

"I think it's okay."

Guo Hongwei, the person involved, said with a gel pen in his mouth: "Ballet? How many rural children do you think have experienced it? The protagonist has a sprained foot and can't dance for a few days, so he cries. Those children who don't know how to dance Can you empathize?"

"So it's not a big problem. As long as our "The Adventures of Little Carp" can win the support of rural children and children who don't know how to dance, it can beat "Youth Dance"."

The comparison is based on the base of the audience.

In this area, the ten "Youth Dance" animations combined may not be able to beat "The Adventures of Little Carp".

After all, there are too few viewers who like to dance and are impressed by the "dance-obsessed" spirit shown in animation...
