My Animation Era

"The Chinese Zodiac" is a good animation, at least if you look at it back then, it was considered top-notch in China in terms of plot and production.

But something is strange.

Whether it’s The Chinese Zodiac or The Chinese Zodiac, they are all the kind of animations that were extremely popular when they were aired, but their popularity plummeted after it was finished, and no one remembers them many years later.

why?

Obviously animations from the same period, such as Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit, Pig Man, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Legend of Nezha, Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions, etc., are still mentioned by people many years later, but it is the Twelve Zodiac series that No one cares.

All right!

It may be an exaggeration to say that no one cares about him, but his popularity is definitely very low. Not to mention compared to Hongmao and Blue Rabbit, he may not even be as good as the football players of the Song Dynasty.

Trivia--

The production team of "Zodiac" is almost the same group of people who later produced "Bear Bears".

Even later in the "Bear Bears" TV series and major movies, the production team also linked the Chinese Zodiac series with "Chickens Are Not Troublesome".

This is also the Fantawild cartoon universe that many netizens talk about.

But it is a pity that the Chinese Zodiac series is like a meteor passing by. Although it shocked everyone at first sight, it also fell quickly. On the contrary, Bears and Bears has become an evergreen tree in China, and its popularity has not diminished for many years. .

Investigating the reason, Gu Miao felt that the sequel was messed up.

As the first season of the series, "Zodiac Story" has obviously received excellent reviews, and the animals are also very lively and interesting.

However, in the subsequent "Twelve Zodiac Signs" and "Twelve Zodiac Signs Happy Street", the characters of the animals were somewhat broken, and the audience's evaluation was not high, which led to the rapid decline of the entire series.

It’s quite a pity!

Seeing the animation "Zodiac Story" on TV again, Gu Miao was immediately brought back memories.

"I hope we don't make the same mistake again!"

Although he has no relationship with the producer of this animation and this is not an animation he participated in the production, Gu Miao sincerely hopes that this version of the Chinese Zodiac series animation will not follow the same path as the original version.

If necessary, he may remind the producers as a fan and treat it as a good deed.

What?

Would the notorious Gu Maggot in the industry be so kind? Are you hiding any bad ideas?

This is slander.

Although Gu Miao is not a good person, he is not jealous of other people's achievements. As long as they are domestic colleagues who produce excellent works, he will fully support them.

For example, "Fox Fairy Matchmaker" and the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series produced by Xuanji Animation, as well as "Full Time Glory" produced by Penguin, he has given extremely high praise, and has even given Amway to his friends many times.

His pattern has always been large.

After all, Chinese comics are relatively weak as a whole, and he still hopes to see some new forces emerge to strengthen the Chinese comic industry.

Therefore, although the animated "Zodiac" is a competitor of "Bear Bears 2" at the same time, Gu Miao does not hesitate to praise it. If the other party really encounters any trouble, he will help.

…

"Bear Bear: Global Adventure", as the second TV animation in the Bear Bear series, achieved extraordinary ratings when it first aired.

As an animation that Gu Miao is optimistic about, "Zodiac" did not perform badly at all, with its premiere ratings only slightly lower than "Bear Bears 2".

certainly!

Although the premiere failed to widen the gap, it is obvious that "Bear Bears" has greater ratings potential and there is still huge room for improvement in performance.

Zodiac does not have such great potential. Although the first broadcast was a hit, can it be stable in the follow-up, or even go one step further on the basis of the hit, and achieve the effect of breaking out of the circle of hits?

It's probably very difficult.

Just a few days after the broadcast of "Bugs 2" and "Zodiac", the long-running animated "Bugs Bunny" also officially announced that the first season is about to end.

The Adventures of Little Carp is coming soon too.

Both animations were launched in September, and it has been a month since then. It is normal for the second and third rounds of reruns to start after the first round.

It’s just that no one expected that after these two animations were completed, the ratings for the reruns were not bad, and they were even close to catching up with the premieres of "Bear Bears 2" and "Zodiac".

Among them, Bugs Bunny is the most amazing!

Originally, Bugs Bunny had already made enough money as a gimmick when it was first aired. The average ratings for the animation exceeded 10 points, which is a new record in the past three years.

Unexpectedly, the replay was not bad at all. Although it had been broadcast once, the second round of replay could still score an average of 4.71% and a maximum of 8.13%, which really shocked many people.

Is this a replay?

Those who knew it was a rebroadcast, but those who didn’t know it thought it was the premiere! Such exaggerated replay ratings reminded everyone of the scene a few years ago when Emperor Xihui unified the country.

All I can say is, it’s outrageous.

At that time, Xihui Emperor dominated the world, and the ratings for reruns were almost the same. Even the first season of "Bear Bears" which was very popular some time ago, the reruns are not so crazy.

With the sad death of Emperor Xihui, everyone thought that this kind of thing would never happen again. Unexpectedly, Bugs Bunny taught everyone a new lesson.

Bugs Bunny is a surprise, Little Carp is a scare...

"Bugs Bunny" performed very well in its first broadcast, so although the rerun ratings were high, everyone was surprised and did not doubt that there was anything wrong with it.

However, "The Adventures of Little Carp", which had a mediocre first broadcast, achieved unexpected ratings in its reruns. This made everyone wonder if there was a possibility of fraud in the ratings?

It’s not that you can’t afford to lose.

Why is it just the Adventures of Little Carp? The ratings of the replay were higher than those of the first broadcast, which is unscientific to anyone.

If Bugs Bunny had such a performance, no one would question it, after all, his strength is obvious to all.

But The Adventures of Little Carp obviously does not have this strength, so it is understandable for everyone to question the fake ratings.

"No, how could the ratings be faked?"

As the one being slandered, Guo Hongwei asked with confusion: "I have grown up and have never heard of such a thing as falsifying ratings. If I am said to be falsifying, how did I do it?"

He was making a big movie for the Year of the Rooster and did not want to get involved in the follow-up to "The Adventures of Little Carp".

But he couldn't stand it when someone poured dirt on him, saying that he had faked his ratings. Now Guo Hongwei couldn't sit still, and he had to put down what he was doing and had to ask for an explanation.

The most outrageous thing is that this incident even became a hot search topic, attracting onlookers and jeers from all walks of life.

Director Wang in Beijing also called and asked about the cause and effect of this incident, especially whether the ratings of "The Adventures of Little Carp" were really faked and watered?

"No!"

Not only Guo Hongwei was angry, but Gu Miao who received the call was also very angry. Who spread this rumor? How come Director Wang had even heard about it?
