My Animation Era

It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Wanbao followed last year's arrangement and also customized a batch of "exclusive IP" mooncakes, which were mainly given to company employees and sold in small quantities to fans.

The difference is that the theme of this year's customized mooncakes is changed to the Q version of the protagonists Nagisa Nagisa and Yukiro Honoka, who are popular in neon, "PreCure".

The staff has rave reviews!

Not only were the employees pleasantly surprised when they received this batch of Guangmei customized mooncakes, but even the 10,000 gift boxes sold on the official website were sold out in just two hours.

In particular, Honoka Yukino's gift box was even sold at an astonishing price of 2,999 on a certain fish.

Outrageous!

There are only five mooncakes in the gift box. Based on this price, the average mooncake is 600 yuan? What kind of family is this?

Anyway, Gu Miao doesn't dare to think about how much she loves Snow City Honoka to spend 600 yuan to buy a mooncake with her Q version image printed on it...

Maybe this is a fanatic!

Speaking of "Pretty Cure", Gu Miao suddenly thought of the elf companions in the animation who adventure and grow up with the two beautiful girls.

Meplu and Meplu.

The animation is so popular, and the two protagonists are so popular. Why are these two elf companions so uninterested?

It’s so hard!

As the standard equipment of magical girls, the three major items of elf companions + transformation props + combat uniforms will logically become popular with thousands of girls as the animation becomes popular.

But in the anime "Pretty Cure", the situation seems to have changed.

Guangmei is a magical girl animation that "does not take the usual path". Although it also has the three major elements that are standard in traditional magical girl animations, it is obvious that the three major elements receive far less attention than the two protagonists.

The audience's eyes were all focused on the two protagonists.

When watching the animation, the most you can say is that this elf companion is so cute and this battle suit is so beautiful, but after the praise is done, no one cares about these things.

"This shows what?"

"It shows that the theme of magical girls does not necessarily have to rely on gorgeous costumes, gorgeous transformation animations, and cute elf companions to attract the audience."

Gu Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "Perhaps there will be magical girl animations in the future that do not rely on those that exist but only rely on the plot to attract the audience."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

"believe it or not……"

Gu Miao didn't argue. After all, the current mainstream magical girl animation has not yet taken a new route, and it is useless to say more.

If a work like "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" really comes out at this time, it will prove that what he said is true.

There is no similar work born. No matter how much he says, Hou Bin will probably take it as a joke. After all, in his eyes, what depth of plot can be explored in the magical girl theme?

Wouldn't it be enough to just change your body and look cute?

"By the way, Mr. Gu!"

Hou Bin took a sip of water, cleared his throat and asked: "I heard that after the national competition episode of "The Prince of Tennis" was broadcast, we received a thank you letter?"

"Yes, from Jiaxing Martial Arts School."

Gu Miao smiled and nodded.

This letter of thanks was handwritten by the principal of Jiaxing Martial Arts School and sent to Wanbao headquarters yesterday afternoon.

The main content of the letter is that the principal expressed his gratitude to Wanbao Animation and the animation production team of "The Prince of Tennis".

Jiaxing Martial Arts School is quite famous.

But as a private private middle school, their performance is actually very poor. It is difficult to recruit students every year. They can only recruit students who are rejected by public middle schools.

Don't ask why...

These days, how many parents are willing to send their children to learn martial arts? Everyone must be thinking about cultivating college students, Ph.D.s and masters, rather than cultivating martial arts practitioners.

It is precisely based on this condition that Jiaxing Martial Arts School recruits fewer and fewer freshmen every year, and it is about to decline and close down.

Coincidentally, the nationwide episode of the anime "The Prince of Tennis" has started airing!

Jiaxing Martial Arts School, as the first school to compete with Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, performed eye-catchingly in the animation, especially the minister's unique "shrinking method", which attracted many ignorant children.

Children are very naive. They don't know that Shuchi method is actually a "stunt skill" invented by the animation production team.

They thought that as long as they went to Jiaxing Martial Arts School, they would be able to learn the magical method of shrinking to the ground, and they would be able to fly over walls and walls with ease!

As a result, the reputation of Jiaxing Martial Arts School has greatly increased, and it has become the middle school that primary school students most want to enter. If not unexpected, it should recruit a large number of ambitious new students next year.

Hence this thank you letter.

Along with this letter was sent an invitation letter from the principal, inviting the Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School Tennis Club as a delegation to compete with the Jiaxing Martial Arts School Tennis Team.

However, the invitation letter had been forwarded by Gu Miao to Shen Chao, the current director of the Tennis Department of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.

Classmate Shen Chao readily agreed.

Although the Jiaxing Martial Arts School tennis team in real life is not as strong as in the animation, and they don't have any mastery of shukui, they still have to give face to the warm invitation.

In addition to Jiaxing Martial Arts School, there are many middle schools that have benefited from the traffic benefits of the "Prince of Tennis" animation.

Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is a typical example!

As the school where the protagonist Ryoma is located, it is also the home team in the animation "The Prince of Tennis". In September this year, it was said that the number of newly recruited students was twice as many as last year.

Then there are strong schools such as Wang Zheqiu Middle School and Meijiang Middle School that competed against Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in the East China Competition. Their fame also increased greatly after the animation was broadcast, attracting many new students.

This should be one of the changes brought to several middle schools near Jiangchuan after the "Prince of Tennis" animation was broadcast!

The biggest change?

Speaking of which, we have to mention the data released by the National Tennis Center some time ago.

After the first season of the animation "Prince of Tennis" was broadcast, more than 10,000 tennis courts were built across the country, and tens of millions of middle school and primary school students participated in and experienced tennis.

A mere animation actually led to the vigorous development of a sports event in the country and gave birth to a large number of young players with potential. The Tennis Center is not only grateful to Wanbao, but also to the "Prince of Tennis" animation.

I've heard it said...

I don’t know where the gossip came from. It is said that the National Tennis Center intends to sponsor the third season of "Prince of Tennis", which is the U17 training camp.

Of course, the two sides are still talking.

This matter does exist, and Gu Miao has also received a related call, but he has not yet made up his mind on how to sponsor or cooperate.

"Prince of Tennis" has sponsors.

The brand of rackets used by Long Ma, Zhong Guoguang, Xing Cun and others in the animation can actually be purchased in reality. This racket manufacturer is the largest sponsor of the animation.

Although there are more sponsors and one less, it will have no impact on the animation.

But what Gu Miao was thinking was, with the fantasy tennis level of the original U17, would the professionals at the tennis center really not be angry after watching it?

After using eye drops for a few days, my left eye finally felt much better...
