My Animation Era

Summer vacation always goes by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, everyone found that the summer vacation was over before they even started writing their summer homework.

September, the new fall semester!

Just as the children were crying and reluctantly heading to school at the urging of their parents, the controversial and attention-grabbing "Into the Wild" animation was finally updated for the last episode.

There aren’t many episodes actually…

According to Penguin's official announcement, the animated "Into the Wild" project is expected to be produced in three phases, which is divided into three seasons of animation.

What has just been completed is only the first season of the animation, with a total of only 52 episodes. In fact, the number is not particularly large, at least not comparable to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

So why did it take so long?

Of course, this is because Penguin Video updates this animation one episode every Tuesday and two episodes every Saturday, so it only updates three episodes a week.

Therefore, this animation, which premiered together with "Hell Girl" before the summer vacation, was not announced to be completed until the end of the summer vacation.

certainly!

The animation is finished, but due to the screenwriter's clumsy manipulation this season, the reputation on the entire network is considered to be terrible.

In the early stage of the broadcast, the animation score was as high as 9.4 points. After Gu Miao revealed that the background playback volume was watered down, it dropped to 7.2 points and was locked.

In the later period, the score control was no longer implemented, and the heroine's design was randomly changed, which attracted a lot of criticism and anger from fans of the original work, and the score dropped directly to 6.1 points...

This is the result of Penguin's frantic efforts to increase the robot's score. If we exclude the positive reviews from those suspected to be navy robots, it is estimated that the average score of this animation will even drop to a few five points.

That’s it, you still want to do a second season?

When the first season of "Into the Wild" was announced to have ended and Penguin Animation immediately released the news that the second season was in production, all the peers were speechless.

With word-of-mouth festering to such an extent, wouldn’t the second season be a waste of time? Penguin doesn’t think the audience was fed shit by the first season of the anime, and will it bite the bullet and watch the second season?

Being rich means being willful!

Gu Miao couldn't figure it out and could only express his admiration for Penguin's financial resources. If it were him, it would be impossible to establish any project in the second season.

But then again...

The production of the second season of the animated "Into the Wild" may have started early. It is also possible that Penguin has no way out and can only bite the bullet and continue.

After all, you have invested so much in the second season, and if you suddenly stop doing it, won’t the previous investment be in vain?

Just grit your teeth and do it!

Maybe the second season can turn the tide and completely regain the shaky reputation?

Let’s take a step back.

With the astonishing scale of Penguin Animation, even if the second season of the "Into the Wild" animation cannot save its reputation, they will not be too panicked. After all, Penguin still has a good hand and cannot lose even with its eyes closed.

…

Penguin is a great talent, and once Wilderness is gone, there are other IPs. Anyway, we have a lot of high-quality web articles waiting to be adapted.

But Wanbao is different.

Gu Miao worked so hard to raise Beep Reading for so long, but only produced one book: "Three Years After Marrying a Son-in-law, I'm an Immortal King and I Stop Pretending".

This is a single seedling!

Penguin doesn’t care about the success or failure of a web IP. It has enough trial and error costs. If this one doesn’t work, just change it.

Wanbao is not good. There is only Wanbao, a popular online novel. If it messes up, it will be completely ruined. There will not even be a substitute...

It is precisely based on this premise that Gu Miao is very cautious about this popular Internet article cultivated by his own website. Especially after confirming the adaptation, he was so worried that he could not eat.

How should I adapt this thing?

Who can I find to adapt it?

If possible, he would like to take action himself. But the problem is that he has no experience in adapting web novels, especially fairy tales and fantasy web novels, so it would be useless to do it himself.

Wanbao does not have this kind of talent.

At the same time, the core of the adaptation of this online novel is actually the characters and plot. After all, most people who read this novel like the anti-conventional plot and vivid characters.

The original author himself must know this best, so it would actually be better to let him serve as the screenwriter.

After all, if the adaptation effect is not ideal, the blame can be passed to the original author, so fans of the original work will be embarrassed to scold the production team.

But the original author knows nothing about animation!

Gu Miao called and asked. The author of this novel turned out to be a big chicken farmer. He had never been involved in animation production and needed some training.

"Forget it, this can't be rushed."

Gu Miao also looked away. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Anyway, the IP already exists and you can adapt it anytime.

The more hasty you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

Compared with this matter, it is obvious that the upcoming premiere of "Bugs Bunny" and "The Adventures of Little Carp" are more important.

Especially Bugs Bunny!

This is Gu Miao's high hope. In this era of declining television platforms, he wants to recreate the glorious works of the past, and there is no room for any mistakes.

The early publicity is basically in place.

The only worrying point is that it is broadcast at 10 o'clock in the middle of the night. It cannot be ruled out that some children will go to bed early.

In response to this problem, Gu Miao specially hired a few people to go to the gates of primary and secondary schools across Jiangchuan and obtained the work and rest schedules of more than 2,000 primary and secondary school students in the form of "street interviews."

The results were a relief.

Among the more than 2,000 primary and secondary school students interviewed, only more than 200 said they would go to bed after finishing their homework before ten o'clock, accounting for less than 10%!

Most of these children are top students who are relatively self-disciplined and have good grades. It is normal to have this schedule, and Gu Miao does not expect them to watch cartoons at ten o'clock.

Except for these top students, all the other children said they didn't go to bed until after ten o'clock.

What time do you sleep at?

Some people like to play computer games, especially "Game of Thrones" or "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Frontline", playing until three or four in the morning.

Some people also like to read and usually go to bed at eleven o'clock.

There are many children still watching TV at ten o'clock, because they don't have mobile phones, so they can only watch TV to relieve their boredom.

OK OK!

This investigation report made Gu Miao completely relieved. With so many children going to bed late, "Bugs Bunny" that airs at 10 o'clock doesn't have to be watched as long as it's exciting enough.

Time soon came to the first weekend of September. After a long wait, the Shonan Children's Channel finally aired the first episode of the animated "Bugs Bunny".

As everyone knows.

The original "Bugs Bunny" was born very early and is one of the cartoon characters in the "Looney Tunes" series. The Looney Tunes works span several decades, so there are many episodes and versions.

Under Gu Miao's arrangement, the Wanbao version did not start with the earliest Looney Tunes, but shuffled the order, starting with the first season of "The Looney Tunes Show" and then working on the older versions.

The first episode is titled Best Friends!

In this episode, in addition to the protagonist Bugs Bunny, there is also a black duck, Daffy Duck, also known as Taffy Duck or Big Live Duck.

Don't underestimate this black duck. It is also a classic animated character in many people's minds, and its reputation is no less famous than that of Silly Big Cat and Little Pig.

Looney Tunes resources from the early days are really hard to find, they are all fragmented...
