Chapter 1027 The Era of Superman

Wanbao Animation is not a monolithic organization.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that everyone is usually in a harmonious atmosphere, calling each other brothers and sisters, and having a very good relationship. But when it comes to competing for resources, they turn their faces and refuse to recognize each other, comparable to mortal enemies.

"Tamako Market" is an animation produced by Kyoani Studio.

First, this animation has not been broadcast yet, and it is impossible to determine the performance and reputation. It is too early to talk about the theater version now.

Second, Kyoani is a new team that has just joined Wanbao. Even with the support of Mr. Gu, it still has no confidence to speak in front of a group of senior employees.

Based on the above two points, the plan for the theater version of "Tamako Love Story" was rejected as soon as it was proposed.

Don't get me wrong!

This was not rejected by Gu Miao. He was the one who proposed this suggestion. How could he reject his own proposal?

The main reason is that the internal opposition was too loud. Lao Zhang, Huang Kun, Hou Bin and others all felt that this decision was too hasty and should be reconsidered.

If a theater version is really to be made, it will be after the TV animation "Tamako Market" has achieved results. Before the results are out, the theatrical version plan is indeed difficult to convince the public.

"Okay, then wait."

Although Gu Miao can make the final decision and forcefully pass this resolution, he also has to consider the emotional issues of some people in the company and not let everyone think that he is biased.

Wolfburg Studio has been ridiculed as the Prince Studio before. If there is another prince, other studios will definitely be uncomfortable.

Kyoani agreed with this.

Let's talk about it after the results are out?

Great! The animation "Tamako Market" is a weekly animation, which was directly broadcast on the local TV station in Japan, aiming to achieve results.

As the producer of animations such as "Dragon Ball", "Sailor Moon" and "Pretty Cure", Wanbao's appeal in the Japanese market is still quite strong.

Especially the animation "Tamako Market", which is different from previous works and has a "fresh" feeling.

So.

The animation "Tamako Market" has been aired for a week, and the response to the first two episodes can be said to be extremely good. The popularity is not inferior to several popular "light novel adaptation" animations that were aired at the same time.

As the main scene of the animation, the Rabbit Mountain Shopping Street has welcomed countless tourists to visit and check in with the popularity of the animation.

Yes!

The Rabbit Mountain Shopping Street has a prototype in reality, and not only the Rabbit Mountain Shopping Street, but also the school where Tamako and Mochizo attended, the conspicuous convenience stores on the roadside and even the vending machines, all of which can be found in the prototype.

This is also a major feature of Kyoani Studio.

In their animations, the scene buildings are basically designed with reference to real prototypes, with very few fictional elements, so the story will look very real, and it feels like it happened around you and me.

…

"Realistic?"

The animation "Tamako Market" became popular, and the real "Rabbit Mountain Shopping Street" was crowded with tourists who came here to visit, which inspired Gu Miao.

As we all know.

As the production of the animation "Guardians of the Sheep Village" gradually came to an end, he was also worried about another thing, that is, how to make a setting system for the new version of "Superman" animation.

The setting is perfect.

Before, countless seminars were held, and the setting of the "Superman" project had been discussed in detail.

But Gu Miao was still not satisfied. He always felt that there was still a big problem with this setting system, but he couldn't figure out which part was not perfect.

After reading the first two episodes of "Oma Market", his doubts seemed to be answered.

The crux of the problem was found!

The problem with the setting system of Wanbao's new version of "Superman" lies in the unclear background of the times.

Everyone knows that Superman was born on Krypton. When he was young, his parents sent him to Earth for refuge. Then he was discovered and adopted by a farmer named Kent and his wife in Kansas, and named Clark Kent.

When he grew up, Clark came to Metropolis and became a reporter for "Daily Planet"...

Gu Miao always thought that there was no problem with the background of this story and it was very classic.

But now he found that there was a problem with this setting, and it was a big problem! It only explains Superman's background, but what era did he live in?

1930s and 1940s?

Or the 21st century?

Looking through the previous "Superman" series, it is not difficult to find a fact, that is, Superman's era background usually changes with the birth of the work.

Simply put.

If it is a Superman work 30 years ago, the story background is 30 years ago, and if it is a Superman work 20 years ago, the background is 20 years ago.

Back to the present, Wanbao decided to restart the "Superman" series and make a new TV animation for it.

Then the question is.

Is the story background set in 201X, which is closer to reality, or earlier, such as the 1990s or 1980s, so that old fans will feel more familiar?

"It's better to be close to reality."

Gu Miao is a representative of the school of keeping pace with the times. He advocates that the era in which Superman lives should be replaced with the birth of the work.

Since the Wanbao version of "Superman" was born after 2010, the story background cannot be earlier than this time.

"NO! Can you imagine Superman using a smartphone? Sorry! I can't imagine it!"

Dave is an absolute representative of the traditional retro school. He advocates that Superman should be more retro. A modern story background may ruin Superman.

Both sides have good reasons.

Gu Miao couldn't convince Dave for a while, and Dave couldn't convince Gu Miao either. So both sides decided to make concessions and make a version of Superman in the 2000s.

This was a happy ending for everyone.

In the 2000s, at the beginning of the century, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and communication technology was still at 2G and 3G.

Superman in this context can be exposed to some new things, making people feel that he is not so old-fashioned and behind the times.

At the same time, Superman at this time point will not look too "trendy", and has a retro style. After all, it has been more than ten years since the 2000s.

"OK!"

Gu Miao snapped his fingers and said, "Then it's settled. Our new version of Superman was born in the 1980s, and the story mainly takes place in the early 21st century, a special period when the Internet was booming."

"Remember this time point firmly, and make sure to show this in the scene and prop design."

Gu Miao said speechlessly, "I don't want to see our Superman still using a mobile phone to make calls and dressing like an ancient person."

Make sense.

The hairstyle should also be changed!

The old Superman is good in every way, except for his hairstyle, which Gu Miao cannot accept. After all, his hairstyle is too retro and historical.

Superman in the new era should really have a new hairstyle, and stop wearing neat curly hair, which makes people feel behind the times.

Of course!

The iconic curls on the forehead can be kept, just like the hair of the cute girl in the second dimension, which is authentic.

The motherboard and power supply have been sent, and the graphics card and memory are fine. I can only use my mobile phone to type these two days...
