My Animation Era

Wanbao Animation also has an advertising business.

This part is mainly divided into two parts, one part is "advertising placement", that is, adding the product specified by the advertiser to the feature film of the animation, and giving a close-up shot.

The other part is to let its animation characters go out for business, and accept commercial cooperation such as image endorsement and product promotion like "virtual idols".

Ad placement is mainly focused on the work "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line". "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" did not engage in advertising placement due to the background of the story and other reasons.

But Pleasant Goat received a lot of endorsements.

Not long ago, a children's playground in Jiangchuan came to Wanbao Animation to discuss advertising cooperation, hoping to use the two characters "Pleasant Goat" and "Big Big Wolf" as the spokespersons of their playground...

Unfortunately, their bid was too low.

Although the price of the anime character "Qiafan" is not as outrageous as that of a real-life star, but Pleasant Goat's ratings and popularity are so high, do you want to get it for 10,000 yuan?

Gu Miao's nose almost twisted from anger.

If Ma Kui hadn't stopped him stubbornly, the owner of the amusement park would have been turned into a corpse long ago, and he would have sunk into the bottom of the river to feed the fish.

It can only be said that the legal society saved him.

As time entered December, the animation "Pigman: The Magical Pigs" finally passed the preparatory stage of "planning draft → script creation of text and shot → art design".

The project is officially transferred to mid-production.

Although the project was born late, the progress has surpassed the "Sailor Moon" of the Neon Division.

Gu Miao can understand this.

The production standards of the two are not at the same level at all. They can be compared with anything else. Compared with "production progress", Pigman definitely wins.

Although "Sailor Moon" has also entered the mid-production stage, the progress is indeed a bit slow. In a week, I could barely produce a 35-minute film.

According to neon animation, generally 24 minutes is an episode, minus the opening and ending credits...

Produce about 1.5 episodes a week.

The reason why the progress is so slow is not that Gu Miao is short of money. A single episode is 15 million yen, which is equivalent to a budget of RMB 800,000. To be honest, it is not low.

It is mainly manpower, which drags down the progress.

Although the Wanbao Neon branch has acquired three animation companies on the verge of bankruptcy, the actual staff is only about 120.

How can this person be enough...

Excluding the poor production team of "one-person original painting", it is not too much for a more serious production team to have 10-20 original artists?

There must be 10 people painting the background, right?

Although the requirements for animators and colorists are not so high, and the work content is highly repetitive, but the workload is too heavy. Is it normal to have more than 100 people?

Judging from photography, editing, music, and the painting supervisor, director, and script writer that must be set up for a unified style of work, the 120 people in the Neon Division are indeed a bit stretched.

fortunately!

The outsourcing of the neon animation industry is well developed, such as music, coloring and other links, it is completely possible to hire outsourcing teams to participate, saving a lot of manpower.

"35 minutes a week is enough."

Seto, the new head of the Neon branch and the production supervisor of the animation "Sailor Moon", said with a smile: "According to the schedule arranged by TBS, we can have three episodes when it airs."

"oh?"

Gu Miao asked curiously, "What's the schedule for TBS? It won't be another disgusting fire day, right?"

He was almost disgusted by TBS.

When Pleasant Goat first introduced neon, TBS gave it "Fire 8", which is broadcast at 8 p.m. on Fire Day.

At that time, he didn't know much about the neon TV circle, and he didn't know what this schedule meant, so he thought it was a pretty good prime time.

It wasn't until Mr. Ikeda, an insider of TBS who didn't want to be named, told him that the "Housewife drama" with extremely high ratings had dominated the 8th show for two full years, that he understood TBS's sinister intentions.

Gu Sanshui?

Superficial brothers!

Gu Miao, who was listed here, has already marked TBS severely on the blacklist. If TBS still disgusts him when "Sailor Moon" is broadcast this time, then don't blame him for turning his face.

Today is different!

In the past, I had no connections, no channels, and I had to bear it if I failed to break into the neon market. Now his wings are hardened, TBS is a superficial brother, if they are divided, they will be divided.

Anyway, he still has a spare tire.

"It's not Fire Day, it's Earth Day."

Seto said with a smile: "As a new program for December this year, TBS will broadcast the anime "Sailor Moon" at 6 pm on Thursday."

Saturday?

That's Saturday, which is not bad.

It's not the disgusting fire day, nor is it the late-night file. The 6 o'clock schedule on Saturday night can already be called the golden file.

Gu Miao was quite satisfied.

As far as he knows, there should be no "fire animation" and "fire TV series" broadcast on Saturday. This also means that the ratings competition pressure is very small.

Airing in the first week of December.

Gu Miao made some calculations, when Xiaotu meets the black cat Luna, and then Xiaotu enters the center of the dark kingdom, awakens the controlled Awei, and defeats Queen Metalia with the power of the silver crystal. 46 episodes.

year?

Roughly the same!

Based on the progress of producing and broadcasting one episode a week, 46 episodes can be broadcast for almost 11 months.

Although it can't compare to "Doraemon" or "Detective Conan", the "animation you chased by grandpa has been updated" is extremely long, but it is not too small.

After all, this is the first one.

After the end of "Sailor Moon" in 1992, the orthodox sequel Sailor Moon R was launched in the second year, and later Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon SuperS and Sailor Moon Sailor Stars.

There are almost 200 episodes in total.

anyway……

Regarding the naming method of the sequels of R, S, SS and Sailor Stars, it is similar to the naming of Max, Pro, Plus and other models of digital products.

But that's beside the point.

From the original Sailor Moon to Sailor Stars, these five works can actually be regarded as "the same work".

The real "sequel" or "innovative work" has to be Sailor Moon Crystal after many years.

Of course, Crystal is still early.

Today is already Tuesday, and there are four days left before the premiere of the anime "Sailor Moon". Instead of thinking about what is there and what is missing, it is better to think about why the animation promotion PV has not been cut yet?

Gu Miao really couldn't hold back anymore.

Practicing for a season... oh no, is it that difficult to cut a PV for a week?

The PV was cut like shit, and after being scolded by him, he would only say "okok", is this attitude okay?

It's just too lazy.

They probably thought that the supervisor was far away from the Jiangchuan headquarters and could not manage the animation production team of Neon, so they were so lazy.

this time.

As a supervisor, Gu Miao had to show her majesty and do something radical that had never been done before...

Wake them up!
