My Animation Era

"When did I say I was going to kill the donkey?" Gu Miao was speechless.

He was just reminiscing about the turbulent years and was about to express his thoughts. However, Huang Kun was so stubborn that he mistakenly thought that he was going to kill the donkey.

Are you so unsure of yourself?

If he wanted to kill the donkey, he would kill Ma Kui, the eunuch chief, first. How could he touch Huang Kun, the "Guardian of the Country" first?

"That's good, that's good!"

Huang Kun let out a long sigh of relief when he learned that Mr. Gu had no intention of firing him yet.

"Okay, don't think too much."

"The reason why I say this is just to complain. We Wanbao has so many classic animated characters, why can't we create an animated character that represents the corporate image?"

"Representing the corporate image?"

Huang Kun pondered this sentence and frowned: "Mr. Gu, can I understand that you want to create an original animated character named Wanbao that the audience will remember?"

"Yes, that's what I mean..."

Gu Miao nodded.

"Haier Brothers" and "The Lego Movie Series" inspired Gu Miao, and he came up with the idea. Is it possible to create an animated character named "Wanbao"?

Having such an exclusive character can not only quickly increase the company's popularity, but also replace the existing corporate image or corporate logo, with no disadvantages.

The only problem is that the word "Ten Thousand Treasures" originally means "the treasure in the palm of thousands of children" and does not have a specific referent.

So creating a virtual animated image for Wanbao is not a simple matter.

And when making animation, you have to tell a story, right? Is the story surrounding Wanbao allowing Wanbao to travel through different worlds to help different animated protagonists?

"That's okay!"

Huang Kun didn't think too much about it. He often read online articles and was familiar with the genre of "Infinite Streaming", so he said: "We can set up a special cartoon character named Wanbao and let him travel through different animation worlds. Go and meet the protagonists of our Wanbao animations..."

Isn’t this an unlimited stream of online content?

Gu Miao was a little confused at first, but after she figured it out, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Don't tell me, this is a really good idea, you can definitely do it like this!"

Even the script was omitted.

Just go find a great online author, give him a sum of money, and let him create an unlimited flow of online articles based on this story.

"First go to the Pleasant Goat World, trade canned mutton with Big Big Wolf, and get some buggy props, such as shrinking pills, and then go to the Leisuden World to help Ling Feng Lingyun win the championship..."

The more Huang Kun thought about it, the more excited he became. He said with a smile on his face: "We can keep doing it. Anyway, we have so many animation IPs under Wanbao. Even if the protagonist changes the world in four or five episodes, we can still do hundreds of episodes of animation."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you! Remember to be more careful and don't screw it up for me!"

Gu Miao warned: "Wanbao's cartoon anthropomorphic image must be cute and friendly, so that people will like it at first sight."

"I understand, he is the corporate image representative!"

"Don't worry about this. I will definitely do it beautifully and let the children remember the role of Wanbao deeply and never forget it in their lifetime."

It’s not just children, right?

Gu Miao felt that if this "unlimited flow" Internet writing routine was followed, some adults might also be very interested.

After all, this is an infinite stream!

Infinite Streaming has always had a high status in the online novel world and is very popular among readers, but it has never been easy to adapt into film, television dramas, comics or animations.

Don't ask, the question is that the world the protagonist travels through is basically the world of various movies, TV dramas, novels and animations. Copyright issues are difficult to solve unless it is an original copy.

But if Wanbao really comes up with an unlimited streaming animation of "Wandering the Animation World", it will definitely cause a sensation on the entire Internet.

And there are no copyright issues.

After all, every animation world that the protagonist travels through is Wanbao's own IP. Where does the copyright issue come from?

…

Huang Kun was very interested in creating a corporate mascot unique to Wanbao and making an animation for it.

In just one week, he submitted the line draft of the first version of the "Wanbao" cartoon anthropomorphic image to Gu Miao.

Gu Miao took a glance.

The little panda-headed figure in the Q-print style is cute and cute. Everyone who sees it must say they like it.

But this is an animal-anthropomorphic character, which doesn't quite meet Gu Miao's needs. If possible, he would prefer a non-animal-anthropomorphic cartoon character.

"No animals? People-pleasing?"

After Huang Kun received this reply, he thought hard for a long time and finally came up with a design draft that in his opinion perfectly met the needs.

Gu Miao was very satisfied after reading it.

A seven-year-old girl with white hair and cuteness that makes her look kawaii.

Why seven years old?

Because Wanbao itself has only been established for seven years! So is there a problem with setting this little girl to be seven years old? No!

In the setting, the little girl Wanbao is selected by the God of Animation and can travel to countless animated worlds to correct the wrong plot developments in those worlds and bring each world back on track.

What is a wrong plot?

For example, if Gray Wolf didn't eat Red Wolf's egg fried rice, he wouldn't have the chance to meet her and eventually get married...

The protagonist Wan Baoniang received a mission from the god of animation and went to the wolf clan to bring together the red wolf and the gray wolf, so that the story that had deviated from the original route would get back on track.

This is the main plot of the animation.

Not to mention, regardless of how good the animation was, at least with this plot template, Gu Miao couldn't help but want to take a look.

Wan Baoniang is so cute!

He never dreamed that Huang Kun, despite his usual seriousness, could be so sultry in private and designed such a cartoon image for Wanbao.

Well done, Akun!

Now Gu Miao had to imitate a certain 2D uncle, and ruthlessly produced 2D figurines from his company to harvest money from loyal fans and dead nerds.

A certain website can publish the twin sisters 22nd and 33rd, and even make comic figures for them, how do you think? Can’t we Wanbao be a Wanbao mother?

Who are you looking down on?

Uncle Gu can do anything that his uncle can do. Not only can he do it, he can do it even more outrageously than the other uncle. He can directly produce a TV animation of Wanbaoniang or even a big movie.

"Let's not talk about whether the animation is good or not. Just based on the image design of Wanbao Niang, we will not lose money, and maybe we can make a little profit by selling the peripheral figures."

Gu Miao chuckled and said, "After all, little sister Wanbao has white hair!"

Is there anyone who doesn’t know what white hair, especially two-dimensional white hair, means to Chinese people?

Two words: special attack!

Sorry, I heard that the water supply would be cut off for a long time. I went to inquire about the situation and came back a little late...
