Chapter 401 The Initial Elf at the Beginning, I Was Confessed by the Elf Leader! (Please Subscribe)

Around May last year.

Neon has appeared in several fantasy adventure animation works with the theme of "souls traveling into different worlds", all of which have achieved good results.

This directly leads to...

From May last year to this year, for more than half a year, "different world travel" has become the wealth code of the ACG circle, and almost every company wants to try it.

At that time, Gu Miao was interviewed by an animation media and said with certainty: "This situation will not last long!"

As a result, he was slapped in the face.

He said that it would not last long and that everyone would eventually return to rationality after experiencing a short-lived frenzy. The so-called different world travel theme is just a short-term prosperity in the animation industry.

But looking at it now, this evil wind of "traveling to another world" seems to be blowing stronger and stronger?

"We have to follow up..."

In an email to Seto, Gu Miao said very frankly that he still insisted on his original judgment that this was just a short-term prosperity.

But he also felt that this was a good business opportunity.

No matter how short-term prosperity is, it is still prosperity! Gu Miao felt a little inappropriate if she just watched others picking up money in sacks and did nothing herself.

So he asked Seto to select one or two suitable works from the many toilet paper... oh no, light novels and adapt them into animations.

Comics are fine too!

Anyway, the subject matter is suitable, and it will be OK if it can ride on the popular "different world" in the industry.

"Okay president, no problem president!"

Seto agreed readily. After receiving the email from Gu Miao, he quickly selected a few "popular" works from Neon's many toilet papers.

Gu Miao reviewed them one by one.

Finally, from the five toilet paper novels submitted by Seto, I chose a light novel that seemed to be "somewhat unique".

"It's interesting!"

This is a light novel with the theme of time travel to another world. It mainly tells the story of a young man who is addicted to a certain online game and travels to the game world at the moment when the game is about to close its server.

As soon as Gu Miao saw the summary of this story, he immediately thought of the famous "Gu Aotian" animation in his previous life.

Both start almost the same.

It's just that Gu Aotian is in a worse situation. His soul travels through the game world, which directly becomes a "chickenless talk". The protagonist of this light novel has just become an elf.

Unfortunately……

Although it started with the same model as Gu Aotian, the plot of this light novel took a completely different path.

Travel through the game world and become the "first-generation elf" with a relatively transcendent identity among the elves, surrounded by a group of cute and charming elf girls.

Then, unwilling to be lonely, he ran to the human city-state to have adventures.

During this period, we solved some side tasks such as the civil strife in the kingdom, the assassination of the princess, the businessman's commission, the Adventurer's Guild, etc., and also met a group of beautiful human girls.

all in all.

This is a story about Long Aotian, a veteran player who relies on his understanding of the game world and his own "god-level" skills to attract girls.

To be honest, at other times, Gu Miao wouldn't even look at Long Aotian toilet paper like this.

But these days are different.

In the current anime circle, the theme of time travel to different worlds is rampant. Pigs can fly when caught in the spotlight, not to mention that the quality of this toilet paper itself is not bad?

"That's it."

After determining the adaptation target, Gu Miao asked Seto: "By the way, ask the original author, can the title of this work be changed?"

"What's wrong? President!"

Seto wondered: "Isn't "The Starting Elf at the Beginning, I Was Confessed to the Elf Clan Leader" very good!"

"Well! You...forget it..."

Gu Miao wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Since you think it's appropriate, then so be it. It doesn't matter if you don't change it."

Although in his opinion, the "flying deer flavor" of this title is too strong.

However, considering that the neon light novel world basically has this naming habit, and some are even more abstract than this, he was immediately relieved.

who cares!

Anyway, it is a work used to ride on the popularity of "different world travel" and get a piece of the pie. It doesn't matter what it is called, as long as the animation is good.

As for the animation, is it good or not?

Based on the quality of the original light novel and the animation production capabilities of Wanbao Neon Division, Gu Miao felt that there would be no problem.

The market is flooded with a large number of fake world-travel animations, and the quality of some animations can only be described in two words.

Eye-catching!

Even if Wanbao cannot be the best, it will not be the worst. In such a bad environment, failure is impossible as long as you use a little care.

This matter was decided so hastily.

After ending the phone conversation with Seto, Gu Miao took a sip of water, put on her coat and took the elevator downstairs.

He is going to Wanbao Plaza.

Today is a very important day. Located in the central square of Wanbao·Pleasant Goat Paradise, the finals of [Wanbao’s First Pokémon Masters] will be held.

As a special award-presenting guest, after the finals at 2 p.m., Gu Miao will take the stage to award trophies to the "champion, second and third place" of this competition and take a group photo.

The Pokémon Masters is a "Pokémon" game competition jointly sponsored by Wanbao Animation, Wanbao Toys, Wanbao Paradise and Feiyang Real Estate.

"Pokémon" game players can obtain badges by challenging offline "Pokémon Gyms".

According to the competition rules.

Competitors who register for the competition must at least hold an official gym badge. If you don’t have a badge, you will only be “directly invited” by the event organizing committee to participate.

This was actually Mr. Bear’s idea.

In order to attract traffic to his commercial plaza, he spent huge sums of money to sponsor this competition. At least half of the prize pool was provided by Feiyang Real Estate.

What?

You asked Little Bear why he always does this?

Isn’t this obvious?

To participate in the competition, you have to challenge the "Manbao Official" Pokémon Gym. These gymnasiums are basically located in the "commercial plazas" built by Feiyang Real Estate.

When contestants go to challenge the gym, it is equivalent to visiting a commercial shopping mall owned by Feiyang Real Estate.

Regardless of whether these people shop or not, at least the task of “draining traffic” has been achieved.

By spending millions to sponsor an event, you can give your own commercial shopping center a large number of players and passers-by. This deal is not a loss no matter how you calculate it.

certainly!

This is also considered a win-win.

Gu Miao had originally thought about holding a competition to maintain the popularity of the animation "Pokémon" before the first season was completed and the second season was aired.

It just so happened that Little Bear was always willing to provide financial sponsorship. Just like dry wood meeting fire, the two reached a consensus instantly and jointly contributed to the smooth holding of this [Pokémon Masters].

Registration channels are open on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Three days ago, 64 contestants from all over the country arrived in Jiangchuan. After two days of fierce fighting, the final winner was finally decided.
