My Animation Era

Under Gu Miao's instruction.

Wanbao's version of the animation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has become a story about four kung fu-strength Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their teachers, fighting wits and courage with various evil forces in order to defend the city of Jiangchuan.

Well, it's corny and outdated...

As a typical American manga, the story of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is really not amazing.

But this is not important, although the plot of the bloody king may sound clichéd, but there will never be a shortage of audiences.

The premise is that the animation must be done well.

The animation production level is online, and the plot is too domineering orthodox. Not only is it not a disadvantage, but it will become an advantage.

Regarding this point, Gu Miao was very relieved.

Wanbao is not short of money, and the production budget must be full. With money and people, the probability of this project hitting the street is lower than that of the fourth season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

This is no joke...

Although everyone thinks that for such a popular animation as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the probability of its sequel failing should be infinitely close to zero.

But in fact, the risk of the fourth season is really high, if you don't pay attention, you will be scolded by the audience.

the reason is simple.

It has been nearly four years since the first TV animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was broadcast.

And within these four years.

The "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series launched the second season "Sheep and Goat Games" and the third season "A Happy Year for Sheep and Goat".

The Sheep and Goat Games was very good. Taking advantage of the popularity of the Asian Games that year, this animation achieved unimaginable success, and the ratings were not too explosive.

But there is an idiom called prosperity and decline!

After experiencing the brilliance of the first and second seasons, even the Emperor Xihui, who once swept the screen invincible and overshadowed the sky with one hand, has finally entered his old age.

Although the third season is directed by Guo Hongwei, the ratings seem to be pretty good...

But in fact, compared with the previous two seasons, the decline has been huge, and the speed of fan loss is quite alarming. The third season also managed to be at the bottom with a favorable rate of 67.14%.

Word of mouth is even worse.

In various senses, the third season of Pleasant Goat is a failed "transformation" work. It failed to undertake the glory of the second season, nor could it change the status quo of Pleasant Goat.

under such circumstances.

When Wanbao Animation and Konjac Animation jointly announced the production of the fourth season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the response was not enthusiastic.

It can even be said that the attitude of the fans is extremely cold?

"It's not easy!"

Konjac Animation, who moved to Jiangchuan from Zhonghai and planned to be Wanbao's neighbor, Mr. Qiu's face was already full of sadness.

He wished he could slap himself!

Very good, suddenly can't think of taking this job? How can this be a hot animation, it is an invisible mine!

Just look at the attitude of the audience.

For the fourth season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", everyone has no hope. If you don't shoot something new, if you don't do something interesting, you will definitely receive overwhelming criticism.

Zhuo!

Boss Qiu just wanted to scold his mother, complaining about Gu San's misfortune. Such a hot potato, I didn't dare to shoot it, so I just threw it to my good brother, right?

Is there any brother like you?

...

Let's talk, let's make trouble.

After all, Mr. Qiu asked Gu Miao for the project of the fourth season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", and Gu Miao didn't force him.

The matter has come to this point, and there is no point in saying those depressing words.

Rather than complaining about ourselves, it is better to think about how to do a good job in the fourth season of animation, so as to avoid the Konjac animation being shamed and ridiculed by the audience for a lifetime.

If you don't change, you will die!

Referring to the word-of-mouth of the third season, Mr. Qiu is very clear that today's "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has reached a critical period of change.

In fact, there are early signs in the third season.

Guo Hongwei was actually ready for change in the third season of Pleasant Goat, but unfortunately, due to space limitations, Pleasant Goat did not complete a gorgeous turn in the third season.

The first and second seasons are Pleasant Goat’s old-time animations!

The third season is an animation in the transitional period between the old era and the new era.

So according to this sequence, the fourth season must be in place in one step, directly entering the new era, and can no longer reverse the old era.

Here comes the problem...

In the new era, what characteristics should the reformed Pleasant Animation have? What changes have been made?

"The beginning and end of the credits have to be changed!"

Mr. Qiu patted the table and emphasized: "The Pleasant Goat made by Konjac Animation must be distinguished from Wanbao Animation."

"We need a new title, a new theme song..."

"But, is this good?"

Some people raised objections, thinking that the song "Don't look at me as a sheep" has become the iconic theme song of Pleasant Goat.

Hastily changed the song and title.

I'm afraid there will be dissatisfaction from the audience, or even complaints, right?

"I said that!"

"What we are doing is the Pleasant Goat of the new era, and we must draw a line from the Pleasant Goat of the old era."

Mr. Qiu made a final decision: "Old audiences will be dissatisfied with changing the theme song. I admit that this problem does exist, but if we don't change the theme song, old audiences will be satisfied?"

"Forehead……"

Everyone was speechless.

It seems to be the reason, anyway, everyone will be dissatisfied with whether to change it or not, so it's better to just tear down everything that is old and make a new one.

Old audience?

Fuck the old audience, they won't be able to keep them anyway, so just kick them away and just cater to the new audience.

"Not just the opening theme song."

After deciding to overthrow all the old ones and recreate a version of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", Mr. Qiu proposed again: "We still need a new style of painting, which is more suitable for children's aesthetics."

what... what? !

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room became silent.

Everyone looked at Mr. Qiu in unison, not understanding what kind of madness he had gone into, to dare to say such "rebellious" words.

Change the style of painting!

The consequences of such a decision to shake up the entire animated series are unimaginable. Konjac Animation is just an outsourcer working for Gu Maggot, can it really do this?

Good guy!

Although the IP of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is a bit outdated, it is still one of the most famous animation IPs of Wanbao Animation.

Will Wanbao Animation agree with Mr. Qiu's proposal to try a new style of painting in the fourth season?

"Don't worry about that."

"Wanbao Animation said that after the fourth season is handed over to Konjac Animation, we can shoot whatever we want, and don't care about their opinions." Mr. Qiu gave everyone a reassurance.

Really?

Mr. Qiu really has face!

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt relieved. Since Wanbao Animation didn't hold them accountable, and said they would shoot casually, what were they afraid of?

The IP belongs to Wanbao.

Even Wanbao is not afraid of them messing up, and if they put aside such indecision, doesn't it seem that they are timid?

"After completing this vote, our konjac animation will become famous! When the time comes to punch Wanbao and kick Gu Miao, konjac will be the only one in the animation industry..."

Mr. Qiu bewitched.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were instantly attracted by the blueprint drawn by Mr. Qiu. They all nodded and agreed: "Okay! We listen to you!"
