My Animation Era

According to Liang Xiaodong.

The idea for "Shaun the Sheep" originated from a popular video on the Internet. A Chinese netizen named Shaun often filmed some animals on his family's farm, which was particularly popular abroad.

Coincidentally, at the beginning of this year, Gu Miao stated that the company's overall strategy was more inclined to "overseas expansion".

As a member of Wanbao Animation.

When other studios are expanding overseas markets under the instructions of Mr. Gu, and works such as "The Lion King" and "The Adventures of Uncle Long" are also well received overseas, Puppet Studio naturally has ideas too.

So they created the stop-motion animation "Shaun the Sheep" based on a popular overseas online video, especially the cute and naive "little sheep" in the video.

"So what you mean is..."

Gu Miao pondered: "The animation "Shaun the Sheep" was originally intended to be broadcast abroad? But it turned out that no foreign TV stations were contacted, so it was broadcast domestically first?"

"Yes!"

"At first, we tried to find a few TV stations in Europe and the United States, but they didn't seem to trust us, so we couldn't negotiate a cooperation." Liang Xiaodong sounded a little helpless.

This has nothing to do with the quality of the work.

Just for people to see, your animation is actually made by Chinese people? That won't work! The animation you Chinese people create will definitely not work here.

Mainly Liang Xiaodong is not famous either.

Wanbao Animation is somewhat well-known. Everyone knows "The Lion King" and "Tom and Jerry".

But here comes the problem...

Although Puppet Studio is also a part of Wanbao Animation, they are not related to projects such as "The Lion King" and "Tom and Jerry".

So Liang Xiaodong spent all his time touting how great and good-looking his animation was, but still no one was willing to try it. It was originally an animation for overseas audiences, but it turned out that it couldn't be promoted.

All I can say is, I’m embarrassed!

Fortunately, after "Shaun the Sheep" was broadcast in China, the response was very good, which also gave Liang Xiaodong the confidence to carry out the second round of promotion.

"give it to me!"

Gu Miao waved her hand and said that this matter was taken care of by him, and "Shaun the Sheep" would definitely be successfully broadcast on foreign TV stations.

He didn't pay attention to it before because he didn't know how much potential "Shaun the Sheep" had.

Now I know.

And take a closer look, wow! Is this animation so popular among children under 10 years old?

That must be arranged!

Preschool children under 10 years old, or kindergarten children, use a relatively high emotional intelligence description to describe it, that is: a walking ATM machine...

Children of this age group may not be seen as naughty and ignorant, but their spending power is very strong. After all, they are in the "newbie protection period" and have unlimited tolerance from their parents.

Why do you say that?

Because for children under the age of ten, parents basically give them whatever they want. But when you are over ten years old, you no longer have this novice benefit.

Wanbao Animation has great influence among young people aged 10-20. After all, its animations, comics, games and other works can cover this age group.

But among children under the age of 10, Wanbao seems very weak, and can only rely on "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Bears" and "Crayon Shin-chan" to barely support the scene.

The appearance of "Shaun the Sheep" was a surprise for Gu Miao!

…

During the period between the end of November and the beginning of December, the animation "Shaun the Sheep" suddenly emerged.

With its alternative subject positioning, it has won the love of many viewers during this period and also achieved high ratings.

But there is only one winner!

Although "Shaun the Sheep" is a dark horse and its performance is really impressive, it still cannot shake the dominance of "The Adventures of Lolo".

The animation has been broadcast for more than 10 episodes.

In the latest plot, the Beast Clan launched a massive attack on the City of Energy. In order to capture the motorcycle city, a conflict broke out between the Wild Ape and the Tiger King, two of the three war kings of the Beast Clan.

"War is a dirty game, and I'm a dirty player!"

The Tiger King is so dark.

He proposed to fight the Wild Apes alone, with the winner leading an army to attack the Energy City, and the loser withdrawing their troops.

A wild orangutan's typical muscles are greater than his IQ, and he doesn't bother to use his brain to solve things that can be solved with his hands, so he also fell into the Tiger King's scheme.

It was agreed that the Beast King would fight in a duel, but the Tiger King, a despicable and shameless guy, actually set a trap to assassinate the Wild Orang...

Fortunately, the Golden Iron Beast arrived in time.

However, the arrival of the Golden Iron Beast only slightly relieved the pressure of the wild orangutan being besieged, but it still could not solve the problem.

The Golden Iron Beast took the initiative to block the rear and dragged the Tiger King to cover the Wild Orangutan's departure.

The Tornado of Energy City, who usually dislikes others bullying others, rushed out to save the hostile Golden Iron Beast.

The plan was disrupted, and the Tiger King was also very angry. With the blessing of anger, the tornado and the golden iron beast had no power to fight back.

Just then.

Human Torch, Luo Luo and others arrived in time, and everyone worked together to fight against the Tiger King, but they were still no match. Luo Luo and others were knocked down from the Fire Dragon Valley.

The Fire Dragon Valley is located underground in the Energy City, hiding secrets that would shock the entire world of robot beasts...

Energy Amethyst!

As the most precious resource in the world of "King of Mechs", the Fire Dragon Valley hidden under the Energy City is actually a vein of energy amethyst, with a large amount of energy amethyst.

Luoluo and others discovered the secret, but were unable to open the treasure because this vein required defense tokens from multiple cities to open.

And on the other side.

The wild orangutan broke through the siege and led people to rescue the golden iron beast. The Tiger King was unable to resist, so he had to use the golden iron beast as a hostage to threaten the wild orangutan.

The Wild Orang had no choice but to let the Tiger King go for the safety of the Golden Iron Beast.

As the saying goes, let the tiger return to the mountain!

The wild gorilla knew that letting the Tiger King go this time meant that he was at a disadvantage in this competition in Energy City.

Although the Tiger King's plans and arrangements were disrupted by the Golden Iron Beast, Tornado, Thunderbolt and others, fortunately the result was correct. The Wild Ape withdrew from the competition, and he could attack the Energy City with confidence and boldness.

"He'll succeed, right?"

"That's right."

Gu Miao sighed and said: "Although the Beast Clan is constantly in internal strife, the Motorcycle Clan is not of the same mind. The fall of the Energy City was expected."

There's nothing surprising about this.

Although the audience often ridicules, saying that the beast clan is an expert in civil war and an amateur in external war, it is a typical "civil war fantasy god".

But bikers are no better.

The motorcycle race in the early days, especially when many people didn't trust Luoluo, was almost like a piece of loose sand.

Can the energy city fall?

real!

If the city owner were less arrogant and blind, and listened more to the advice of Luoluo and Thunderbolt, with the defensive strength of Energy City, it would be difficult to be broken unless the three war kings join forces to attack.
