My Animation Era

"Oh? Selling so fast?"

Gu Miao was very surprised to receive Lao He's reply. He didn't expect that the toy would already be sold before Lei Sudeng's animation was aired.

The first batch of experimental Lei Sudeng remote control racing cars were mass-produced less than 50,000 units, and were sold to economically developed cities such as Jiangchuan, Zhonghai, and Beijing.

I thought……

There was no publicity in advance, and the "WB" brand, that is, Wanbao's reputation is not well-known. It is estimated that these remote control cars will be sold for half a month, or even a month.

Unexpectedly, it was sold out in a few days.

The reason is actually very simple.

According to the feedback collected by Lao He, the remote control car-related products sold on the market generally have the disadvantages of "bulky" and "expensive".

for example.

At present, the most popular remote control car in China comes from Yangcheng Lida Toys Company. The general size of the products is around 30-50CM, and the price is close to the 1,000 yuan mark.

"It's too big and too expensive!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "The toy car is so big, do you want to carry people? And it's so expensive, how many families can afford it?"

by contrast.

The Leisudeng series is much closer to the people.

Not only the size is controlled within 15CM, but also the price is low. The most basic model can be bought for only 98 yuan.

Exquisite and small, low price.

and……

Run really fast!

Based on the above reasons, it is only natural that children like this new remote control car.

"Don't learn from Lida toys."

Gu Miao exhorted: "The Lei Sudeng series must be made portable and cheap. It doesn't matter if the racing car earns less, the accessories are our mainstay."

Selling a car is a one-shot deal!

But the sale of spare parts is a long-term business. If this part is done well, the money earned will not be less than that of selling cars.

Not much to say.

The kid bought a remote control car, so he has to drive it for a couple of laps, right? Once the car is running, the tires must be worn out, right?

relative!

Learn about anti-skid tires, sand tires, and track tires?

If the tires are worn out, isn't the battery depleted? Although AA batteries can be used universally, how can there be an "officially recommended" track version battery for the universal version?

Putting on the track version of the battery, I am preparing to compete with my friends and try out the "blade overtaking" I just learned, but where is the track?

Do you know about the track assembly kit?

After playing with friends, I regret losing. Driven by the desire to compete, you must find a way to make the car run faster? Steering more flexibly?

Official version of brushless motor, steering lubricant you deserve! Buy now and get an extra "Cool Body Sticker"!

"..."

After listening to his introduction, Lao He said with embarrassment: "Mr. Gu, I understand everything you said, but Wanbao Toys doesn't have a production line for accessories."

The predecessor of Wanbao is Wanzhibao.

Wanzhibao, which started out with plush dolls, has expanded a lot of product lines under the management of three generations of the Du family, but it has not reached the point of "doing everything".

There are so many categories of official accessories.

Wanzhibao can only produce a small part at most, and the rest must be purchased from outside.

"Purchasing doesn't matter!"

Gu Miao didn't mind and said, "Buy other people's accessories and seal them in the box of Wanbao Toys. Who dares to say that these are not official products?"

Think bolder.

If the Leisudeng series is really hot enough, then there is no need to purchase accessories.

At that time, the direct sale will be authorized to these parts factories, and whoever bids the most will be able to become the "Lei Sudeng Officially Certified" parts supplier.

What is it called?

Stand up and make money!

...

It's just a trivial matter to distribute toys in advance. Even if they are selling well now, the sales are not high after all.

If you want to open up the market and make the Leisudeng series of remote control cars popular all over the country overnight, you have to watch the performance of the animation "Leisudeng Lightning Crossing the Line".

Animatable on...

As the chief director, Gu Miao has encountered an extremely difficult problem.

theme song!

As the soul of the animation "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line", the importance of its theme song "Lightning Crossing the Line" is self-evident.

"Come on Flash, come on Flash!"

"Leading racers, hurry up..."

Even after many years, the children of the past grow up and are gradually smoothed by life. But as soon as the prelude of this song sounded, they seemed to return to their childhood, to that summer, and to the racing field where sweat and enthusiasm were swayed.

Proper childhood memories!

As the theme song of an animation, it not only resounded across the country at that time, but also maintained 999+ comments in the music software many years later. "Lightning Crossing the Line" is not without success.

no doubt.

"Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" became popular, in addition to the performance of the core male protagonist "Remote Control Car", this theme song that ignited the whole country is also one of the contributors.

As for Ling Feng Lingyun...

Who are these two?

In Gu Miao's view, the plot can be changed, the characters can be changed, as long as the "remote control car" and "Lightning Crossing Line" are still there, this animation still has the potential to explode.

It is precisely because this theme song is so important that he is in trouble and doesn't know what to do.

The sheet music has been picked up by someone.

Fortunately, the melody of "Lightning Crossing the Line" is simple, and the lyrics are more straightforward and rough. The difficulty of compiling the score is not as high as expected.

But what about the singer?

The singing requirements of this song are different from Pleasant Goat's theme song "Don't Look I'm Just a Sheep". It needs to be sung with a feeling of passion.

Gu Miao has tried it herself.

Although his self-assessment was "singing well" and "pleasing to the ear", the rest of the production team firmly disagreed, and would rather pay for it out of their own pockets than invite others to sing.

In their words.

The version sung by Mr. Gu himself is too contagious. They are worried that the children will be excited after listening to it, and they will not be able to help destroying the TV at home, causing bad social impact.

"Okay! Then replace..."

Feeling disgusted, Gu Miao had no choice but to invite a professional singer to record the theme song of "Lightning Crossing the Line".

Something interesting happened.

The singer who made the final decision turned out to be the eldest cousin of the singer of "Don't Look at Me Just a Sheep", and the two are relatives.

Not only that.

In addition to their main job as singers, the two also worked part-time as voice actors, dubbing voices for many animations and movies.

Isn't it a coincidence!

Gu Miao, who was criticizing and educating the sound effects engineer, immediately brightened up when she heard the news, as if she saw the possibility of "doing two jobs for one salary".

So he asked Ma Kui to lobby.

After a lot of hard work + win over the relationship, and promised that there would be more "cooperation opportunities" in the future, the brother and sister readily agreed to Gu Miao's request.

They will participate in the dubbing work of "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line" animation, and they will not be paid.

This is a good man!

Gu Miao was so moved that she immediately made a decision that the two brothers and sisters would be given priority when recording the theme song of the animation in the future.

For nothing else, save money!
