My Animation Era

There is more than just Superman.

To be more precise, the Superman series sold by Weller Company is actually the collective name of superhero IP including Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and other characters.

Yes, collectively...

In this parallel world, superheroes such as Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Wonder Woman who belong to the classic Justice League are actually considered vassals of Superman, and no one has thought of stripping them all out.

This also gave Gu Miao a chance.

Since there is no concept of "Justice League" in this parallel world, he will be the crab eater and implant the classic superhero assembly setting into the "Superman" series.

"Pity!"

When Gu Miao mentioned the gathering of superheroes, he immediately thought of the Avengers, which was once popular all over the world and was more famous than the Justice League.

Marvel Comics!

Most of the superheroes that Chinese people are most familiar with come from Marvel Comics, which later became the Marvel Universe.

On the contrary, in the Justice League, except for the popularity of Superman and Batman, other characters, such as The Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, are actually not as famous as those Marvel superheroes.

Of course, this is talking about China.

Regardless of the situation abroad, at least in the Chinese market, DC superheroes are not as popular as Marvel superheroes. Even if it is the highly praised "The Dark Knight", people who have watched it may not necessarily know the Avengers movies. many.

Therefore.

Gu Miao was honestly a little disappointed that the missing person was the Justice League instead of the Avengers.

It’s not that the Justice League is inferior to the Avengers, it’s mainly that in his opinion, the superheroes of the Avengers are obviously more appetizing to domestic audiences.

The Justice League is good, but if he had a choice, he would still choose the Avengers, which is more famous and commercial.

There's no other way, I just have to have the right meal!

But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in talking about regrets. Spending 250 million US dollars to pick up a prototype of Justice League is already a lot of money, there is no need to ask for more.

Moreover……

Justice League is not bad either. At least in North America, it is not a big problem to beat the current industry giant, which is Mardete Comics.

When it comes to Mardete Company, Gu Miao is very angry.

Old George, who was so greedy that he was teased as a fool in several conversations, still hasn't recognized the reality and still thinks he can control Wanbao.

It's time for him to wake up completely.

Nantong stayed in North America. In addition to sorting out the copyright handover of the "Superman" series, the most important thing was to win over a group of frustrated North American cartoonists and establish Wanbao Comics (North America) Branch.

When this branch was established, it targeted the No. 1 company in the North American comics industry, namely Mardete.

The weapons Gu Miao prepared for them were Justice League comic series such as "Batman", "The Flash" and "Green Lantern" that were separated from the "Superman" series and produced separately.

This kind of luxurious lineup is more than enough to deal with a Mardete company.

Gu Miao really couldn't imagine the possibility that Wanbao Comics, which holds the copyrights for Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash and other superhero comics, would lose to Mardete in the competition.

unless……

Old Man George has a big secret, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America, which are also famous superhero comic characters!

But is this possible?

…

The rework of the "Superman" series, including the production of the 1996 Superman animation, is still in the planning and drafting stage and may not take effect until next year.

But the popular animation "The Magic Soldier" doesn't need to wait that long. Less than a week after it was launched, the results have already exploded.

Not only did it top the list in terms of ratings and broadcast volume during the same period, but it also gained a good reputation across the entire network.

Gu Miao has many friends around her, including some practitioners in the animation and comics industries, who have also expressed their love for "The Magic Soldier" and praised it endlessly.

Even Liu Zida, who is known as Wanbao's number one anti-fan, has repeatedly praised the production and plot of the animation "The Magic Soldier" in private chats.

certainly!

After all, the persona Liu Zida created is a "wanbao black fan", so he can at best talk about it in private, and he still needs to make some sharp comments when the video is actually released.

From the perspective of a black fan, he pointed out many shortcomings and shortcomings of "The Magic Soldier". Although it was for the purpose of establishing a character and there was a suspicion of embarrassment, some parts were indeed very reasonable.

Therefore, Gu Miao valued his opinions.

As the saying goes, a true master always has the heart of a disciple! It’s not scary to have shortcomings and problems pointed out. What’s scary is not having the courage to face up to your shortcomings.

Gu Miao felt that Liu Zida was very good at picking holes in eggs, so he humbly asked him for advice, hoping to get some suggestions on the subsequent improvements of "The Magic Soldier" from the black fan leader.

But obviously, he overestimated Liu Zida.

This guy is making videos just to gain popularity, and most of the video copywriting is just talk on paper. If he really wants to give any reliable advice to the production team, he might as well hope for a sow to climb a tree!

However, talking on paper also has the advantage of talking on paper, that is, it is very open-minded, and sometimes even Gu Miao is surprised.

For example, during the conversation, Liu Zida made suggestions to Gu Miao about producing a native 2K or 4K hand-drawn 2D animation.

Is this special meow speaking human language?

When Gu Miao saw this line of text, she blocked Liu Zida without thinking, and no longer wanted to continue chatting with him.

There’s no way to talk!

4K hand-drawn animation, without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, it is impossible to make such a suggestion.

Does Wanbao have this strength? Of course it does exist. The financial and human resources are all met. If you want to do it, you can definitely do it.

But the problem is...

What is the point of producing this kind of animation that purely challenges the peak of hand-drawing?

4K seems too far away for ordinary viewers. Gu Miao feels that the ordinary 1080P resolution is already very good, and sometimes even 720P is enough.

You can do it, but it’s not necessary!

Gu Miao was dismissive of this proposal at first, until Liu Zida said that no one in China had tried this before, and his attitude suddenly changed.

No precedent?

Does that mean that as long as Wanbao can make it, regardless of whether it looks good or not, it can at least occupy this high ground in advance and win the title of "domestic first true 4K animation"?

"The first person to land on the moon and Mars will be written into the history books for future generations to admire. Wanbao is already very powerful, why not challenge the peak?"

Gu Miao admitted that he was moved.

Wanbao is indeed not short of money and people now, so he is particularly concerned about this false reputation. After all, if this is successful, it will be a work that can be written into professional animation textbooks.
