My Animation Era

In the animation circle, is honor important?

important!

But it’s not that important…

For those new animation producers who have no masterpieces and have not proven their ability, honors can make it easier for them to convince investors and gain the trust of the audience, so it is very important.

But for a veteran like Gu Miao, honor is not that important.

Even now, he doesn't have any "personal honor" to offer. When others mention him, they can only introduce him as "well-known animation director and producer".

But will anyone question Gu Sanshui's ability?

No!

Because he has proven his ability through many masterpieces.

Therefore, even if his honor history is weak, no one will think that Gu Sanshui is incompetent and not an excellent animator.

But this thing is a matter of "face".

When you go to a symposium, what are other people’s introductions? Winner of the XXth XX Award for Best Animation Director, XX Producer of XX Association...he can read a hundred words in one breath without stopping.

It was Gu Miao's turn to appear.

"Let us give a round of applause to the well-known animation director and producer, Mr. Gu Miao!"

Go to hell!

When someone comes on stage, he introduces a lot of words in a long-winded way, but when it's his turn, he just uses a few words to get rid of it? It's not fair, it's not reasonable at all.

Gu Miao also wants honor.

But he knows very well that the most important task at the moment is "making money." You can consider gaining honor for yourself, but don't worry.

Therefore.

When his wife asked him when he would win the Best Animation Director Award, he would say, "It depends."

This thing really depends on fate.

Destiny has arrived.

Even if you have no intention of rushing for prizes, you can still win prizes and be soft-hearted, and your business art will blossom. If you are not lucky enough to deliberately compete for prizes, you may not gain much.

Speaking of which.

Gu Miao really admires Riot Games. It is obviously a game company. In order to promote its own games and improve the world view and background of the game, it created the derivative animation "Battle of Two Cities".

The result was not only a great commercial success, but also won nine out of nine Annie Awards, known as the "Oscars of Animation", and won all the honors it deserved.

So irritating!

You said that you, a game company, just came to the animation industry to cause trouble. After all, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice for game companies to cross-border animation.

But the question is, why can it be done so well? Commercial art is blooming!

Doesn’t this make companies whose “main business” is animation production particularly incompetent? There is no harm without comparison. With such a comparison, the audience will immediately feel:

It seems that the fist is really quite tight?

Gu Miao longs for honors, but she will not deliberately please anyone just to win.

He also hopes that he can make a work like "The Battle of Two Cities" that takes into account both business and art, and can be called an all-round work with no blind spots.

But it’s very difficult!

…

This May, the most popular animation work in China is undoubtedly "Legend of Seven Swords".

As the plot gets better and better, the ratings are getting higher and higher, which not only makes the Shonan Children's Channel laugh from ear to ear, but also sets off a wave of animation called "Martial Arts Revival" in China.

at the same time.

Wanbao Group and Xiangnan Radio and Television Media Group successfully reached a cooperation agreement after negotiation.

The video websites owned by both parties, namely Wanbao Video and Mango TV, will soon carry out a large-scale "copyright library sharing" cooperation.

On Wanbao Video, you can watch many TV series and popular variety shows of Hunan Satellite TV.

On Mango TV, you can also watch many high-quality Chinese comics and overseas animation works.

This cooperation can be regarded as a way of staying together for warmth.

no way!

The cake of online video has been almost eaten by many Internet giants. As new disruptors, Wanbao Video and Mango TV will only be defeated one by one by these Internet giants if they do not work together to keep warm.

Speaking of which...

Pili Pili, a domestic barrage video website that specializes in two-dimensional culture, seems to be unwilling to be left alone and is taking advantage of this period to do crazy things.

As far as Gu Miao knows.

Pili and Pili have recently spent a lot of money to introduce a large number of new series from Neon. There are about dozens of them, and they have a unified "two-dimensional" posture.

Good guy!

Wanbao Video's main focus is animation. Uncle Gu Sanshui's favorite is the two-dimensional paper man. How can he just sit back and ignore it?

Let's fight!

Due to the "different world" trend that has arisen in the neon industry in the past six months.

Whether it is Pili, Pili or Wanbao Video, most of the new programs recently introduced and aired are "different world" themes.

What a coincidence!

The new show promoted by Pili Pili is called "Reincarnated as a Prince, This Country Is All Girls Except Me".

The new program promoted by Wanbao Video is "The Starting Elf, I Was Confessed by the Elf Chief" produced by Wanbao Neon Division.

From the subject matter to the audience, it is completely on point.

Although the two video websites did not say it clearly, as long as users are not blind, they can see that these two are in conflict!

"Fight, fight!"

The melon-eating netizens who don't mind watching the excitement now just want to hand the knife to both sides and watch the two families fight. The more fierce and intense the fight, the better.

As for who loses and who wins, does that matter?

unimportant!

Everyone just wants to watch fights and hair-pulling. As for which of these two animations is better, which one has more views, and which one can capture more two-dimensional users, won’t we know by then?

After a while, the time came to May 31st, the last day of this month.

Wanbao Video and Thunderbolt, almost at the same time, released the first episode of two different world travel animations at 12 o'clock in the morning.

Countless viewers flocked to both platforms.

Perak and Perak adopt a "small member" priority system. That is, ordinary members can only watch the first episode, and the latest episode must be a junior member.

Wanbao Video is similar.

The reason why the two websites compete is not to compete for these users who like to watch anime, are addicted to the second dimension, and have a certain spending power!

Now it’s time to see who is more attractive and can capture more users’ love.

Regarding this competition, Gu Miao, who is busy making the "Yu-Gi-Oh" animation, also took the time to pay attention to the latest developments.

The result surprised him.

The animation "The Beginning Elf, I Was Confessed to the Elf Leader" was launched on Wanbao Video in just one day, and the views of the first episode exceeded 10 million.

However, the price in Perak and Perak seems to be just over 8 million, and the gap is quite obvious.

As for the rating.

Due to the different scoring mechanisms adopted by the two websites, there is no score on the Pili and Pili website, while the score on Wanbao Video is 9.5.

It looks weird!

Although Pili Pili has more users, the views of its new main program are nearly two million lower than those of Wanbao Video.

Why is this?

Trivia: Each video website has different statistical algorithms for "play volume"...
