Chapter 1016 Journey to the West

How much do Neon people like the Three Kingdoms?

To this question, you may have to go to Neon in person and have an on-site visit to understand it before you can get an accurate answer.

Gu Miao has been to Neon more than once, and there are also Neon people among the company's employees.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the special "Three Kingdoms complex" of Neon people, and he also knows the particularity of the subject of the Three Kingdoms in Neon.

without any exaggeration……

Neon people's love for the culture of the Three Kingdoms has reached an extremely crazy level. There are more than a hundred animations, games and other works on the Three Kingdoms theme alone.

This is almost the same as in China.

Gu Miao is not very good at mathematics, but as an industry insider, he can calculate it with just his fingers. The number of domestic Three Kingdoms-themed animation and game works is almost the same.

There are many works, but they cannot represent anything.

But if I tell you that neon lights are everywhere in Three Kingdoms theme parks, Three Kingdoms character sculptures, Three Kingdoms cultural street scenes, and Three Kingdoms clubs, what would you think?

Are you surprised and suspect that you heard it wrong? Do Neon people really like the Three Kingdoms culture so much?

The answer is clear!

Neon people really like the Three Kingdoms so much, and they know the celebrities and generals from the Three Kingdoms period very well.

At that time, the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" produced by CCTV was broadcast on Neon, which attracted thousands of people and was called "the best Dahe drama" by Neon people!

If this example can only prove that the CCTV version of the Three Kingdoms was well filmed and cannot reflect how much Neon people love the Three Kingdoms, then it can be replaced by the later "New Three Kingdoms" TV series.

When New Three Kingdoms was aired, it still sparked an upsurge of discussion in Neon, catching up with the popularity in China.

And "Red Cliff", a Three Kingdoms-themed movie, set a record for the highest box office of Asian movies in Neon.

This is just the film and television field.

In the fields of animation and games, works such as "Three Kingdoms", "Dynasty Warriors", "Three Kingdoms Heroes", "Dynasty Warriors" and other works are also very popular...

It is precisely because Neon people have great enthusiasm for the Three Kingdoms that when the Wanbao version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation was broadcast, even the raw meat version, Neon viewers watched with gusto.

This was a scene beyond Magui's expectation.

As a neon person, Koizumi can understand this situation, but he didn't expect that everyone could eat the raw meat version?

This is too fierce!

To be honest, if you can't understand the subtitles and the lines, the viewing experience will be greatly compromised for a work with rich literary and theatrical content such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This is just like a Chinese who doesn't understand foreign languages ​​and goes to watch historical-themed movies and TV series produced abroad. He can't understand them at all.

“The dubbing and dubbing must be speeded up!”

Realizing this, Gu Miao quickly told Ma Kui and Xiaoquan: "It is very important for us to complete the translation work into English, Japanese and other popular languages ​​as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Gu!"

Ma Kui and Xiao Quan nodded quickly.

There is no need to remind them that they both know that this matter must be done urgently. After all, the raw meat version is so popular, so why can’t the cooked meat version soar into the sky?

Other languages ​​are fine, but the English and Japanese versions really need to be translated as soon as possible.

Japanese is for the neon market.

As for the English version, it is actually necessary to release it, because in addition to Neon, there are many fans of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" overseas who are watching this animation.

There are also many audiences in English-speaking areas who like the culture of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is not as exaggerated and outrageous as Neon, it adds up and the needs of this part of the audience cannot be ignored.

…

CCTV is the happiest party about the success of the animated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", especially in overseas markets, even happier than Wanbao.

Wanbao is happy because he makes money.

CCTV doesn't care about this small amount of money. The reason they are happy is that this should be regarded as cultural export, right? Since it is cultural export, it is a proper political achievement!

Well done Wanbao!

CCTV, which was so happy, almost didn't think much about it. It didn't even need to wait for the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to finish, and went directly to Wanbao to negotiate with the remaining three of the four classics.

"No, this really won't work."

Regarding CCTV's plan to hand over all the adaptation projects of the remaining three famous works to Wanbao in one go, Gu Miao expressed her refusal with a very firm attitude.

He can take over Journey to the West.

But forget about Water Margin and Dream of Red Mansions. This is not because he dislikes these two masterpieces, but mainly because he really feels that the prospects for adapting animations of these two works are not good.

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"No!"

Gu Miao refused very simply and refused to package the remaining three masterpieces for adaptation. At most, she would accept the project of "Journey to the West".

Although CCTV regretted it, it did not force it.

Journey to the West is Journey to the West!

Although the adaptation of "Journey to the West" is more difficult than "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", apart from other things, the only domestic animation companies that are capable of completing this project are Meiying Studio and Wanbao.

The animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be regarded as a proven work of Wanbao. With this work, CCTV can feel relieved to hand over the adaptation project of "Journey to the West" to them.

But Gu Miao also said.

There are too many TV series, movies, animations and games similar to "Journey to the West". Wanbao's adapted version may not have the same effect as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This is considered ugly talk at the beginning.

Why is the animated version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" so effective? That's because there aren't many cartoons on the Three Kingdoms theme, and only the old versions can be used for comparison.

But Journey to the West is different...

Journey to the West is a well-known fantasy masterpiece, and Sun Wukong is a frequent guest in major film and television animations. There are too many works.

Gu Miao is confident that he can do a good job in the animation of "Journey to the West", but he does not dare to guarantee that he can do it better than everyone else.

Don’t say anything else.

"Havoc in Heaven" produced by American Film Studio many years ago is Gu Miao's insurmountable peak of "Journey to the West adapted animation", and it is difficult to surpass.

As for everything else, whether fans admit it or not, "Dragon Ball" can actually be considered an adaptation of the Journey to the West theme...

In China, there was an animation with the theme of Journey to the West a few years ago. It was quite popular after it was broadcast, and it can barely be regarded as a high-quality animation.

To sum up, there are many animation works on the theme of Journey to the West, and there are also many high-quality products. Wanbao is not sure that he can beat the others, so he needs to take a precaution in advance.

CCTV also expressed its understanding of this point.

There are indeed many animation films and TV series about Journey to the West, and they have reached the point of overpopulation. Their internal expectations are just to achieve the results of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation.

"That's no problem..."

Gu Miao thought about it and felt that this goal was achievable.

It has the same results as the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". According to his understanding of the CCTV version of the animation "Journey to the West", it is not difficult to achieve this.
