Chapter 579 Original Series (Please Subscribe)
The first people to benefit from the punishment of copyright agency chaos are Wanbao fans in various overseas regions.
There are two main important changes.
The first is that many excellent private subtitle groups and dubbing teams have been officially incorporated. In the future, we can see higher-quality subtitles and dubbing in the region.
The second is the price adjustment.
Through negotiations and communication with agents in various countries, Wanbao has temporarily defined the "official guide prices" for peripheral derivatives in various countries and regions.
This guide price does not mean that the agent must sell at this price.
Instead, it can be adjusted up or down by 10% based on the "official guide price". However, the maximum adjustment range cannot exceed 10%, which is a beneficial crackdown on chaos such as wanton price speculation and cross-border purchasing.
As soon as the announcement came out, overseas fans were ecstatic.
Domestic fans don't feel much at all. After all, Wanbao's adjustment announcement for agent partners does not involve the domestic market.
But there are rumors that...
A well-known private subtitle group in China, which often provides high-quality Japanese comic subtitle translations for everyone in the Internet community for free, has also been incorporated by Wanbao.
"Well, it's true!"
When faced with questions from her own people, Gu Miao said frankly: "We did recruit a private subtitle team to be responsible for the animation translation and duplication on Neon's side."
"This is good, this is good!"
"I won't say anything about "Sailor Moon". I really want to complain about the translation of "The Three Sisters of the Nan Family". Many of the lines don't match at all!" Guo Hongwei nodded.
"With the introduction of new translators, we hope to do better in this regard in the future."
"Do not worry."
Gu Miao, who had a relaxed expression, patted his apprentice on the shoulder and asked, "If you don't talk about this, you called me here today because something happened to "Detective Conan", right?"
"That's right!"
"Master, you also know that the animation "Detective Conan" is a comic adaptation..."
Xiao Guo expressed his problem.
Gu Miao listened carefully to Guo Hongwei's work report and understood the problems he was troubled by, and immediately frowned.
simply put.
"Detective Conan" is an animation adapted from the original manga, and the progress of the adaptation naturally depends on the progress of the manga serialization.
As we all know, the speed of comics serialization has never been able to keep up with the speed of animation production.
This is perfectly normal.
After all, when a cartoonist creates cartoons, even with the help of assistants, he can't produce more than a few pages of drawings in a day. In terms of efficiency, it is completely inferior to an animation production team of dozens or hundreds of people.
It might be nothing at first...
But as time goes by, the animation production team will inevitably catch up with the comic serialization progress. At this time, you will encounter a problem, that is, what to do next?
The progress of the animation has already caught up with the serialization of the comics. If the upcoming plot and comics are not updated, then the animation will definitely not be able to continue to be produced.
"Original series?!"
"Yes……"
Guo Hongwei rubbed his face and said: "After the comic plot is completed, there will be an estimated 96 episodes of animation. I want to collect 100 episodes before broadcasting, so I will have to create a few original episodes."
"no problem!"
Gu Miao raised her hands and feet in agreement: "You can just decide on this matter yourself, why do you need to ask my opinion?"
This kind of thing is all too common.
Not to mention anything else, at least during the broadcast of the original "Detective Conan" animation, its production team created many original series.
For example, the impressive "Valentine's Day Murder" is an original series produced by the animation production team.
Because the animation progress has matched or even surpassed the comic serialization progress, the animation production team has begun to engage in "original" things, which can be said to be common in Neon.
There’s nothing to say…
Even if Guo Hongwei didn't mention it, Gu Miao would suggest him to do so.
Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the script must be accurate. It is best to have it reviewed by the original comic author to make sure it meets the style before production begins.
"I told Teacher Aoyama."
"Teacher Qingshan said that he would help me review the scripts of the original series. If he finds anything unreasonable, he will point it out as soon as possible and help us make changes."
After Guo Hongwei explained his arrangement, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this case, the first season of the animation "Detective Conan" will be broadcast with 100 episodes."
"Can!"
Gu Miao nodded.
Although 100 episodes sounds like a lot, it's not as much as imagined. According to the normal broadcast schedule of domestic animation, which is two episodes a day, it can last for two months at most.
This number of episodes in the first season is completely reasonable.
But so fast?
Gu Miao, who had not followed the production team of "Detective Conan" for a long time, was very surprised by the progress. She never expected that the 100th episode would be completed so soon.
"It's okay, mainly because I have the original comics for reference, which saves me a lot of time in coming up with plot points."
"That's true..."
Gu Miao nodded first, then thought of something again, and quickly warned: "By the way! There are a lot of murder cases in the animation. Remember to change the color of the blood. It looks darker and not so bright red."
"When restoring the crime process, remember to avoid some scenes that may cause inducement or misunderstanding, such as bullets hitting the victim, stabbing the victim with a knife, etc."
These details are important.
"Detective Conan" is a cartoon after all, and it will attract many minors to watch it after it is broadcast. Avoiding some of the details of the murder is actually to reduce unnecessary trouble.
As for changing blood color…
Ahem!
The original version has been changed, so there is no need to complain about it. After all, the plot of the animation is mainly "mystery", not a traditional police film.
"I understand, I have changed everything."
Even if the master didn't remind him, Guo Hongwei knew that these were absolute minefields and it was definitely impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
Not only that.
In addition to specially modifying and avoiding some details such as the color of the blood and the crime scene, he also made adjustments to the "title of this episode".
In the original comic, many chapters are titled "XX Murder Case".
To be honest…
This kind of title is a bit too gimmicky. Guo Hongwei himself doesn't like it very much. In addition, he also thinks that this kind of title is not suitable for animation reference.
Therefore, in the animated version of "Detective Conan", he did not use the title "XX Murder Case".
This is also a way to avoid suspicion.
no way!
The plot of the animation "Detective Conan" mainly takes place in the city of Jiangchuan. When people look at the title of the animation, they think, OK! The screen is full of XX murder cases...
What would outsiders think of Jiangchuan?
Those who don’t know the truth may think that Jiangchuan’s public security is extremely poor and the streets are full of murderers!
If this happens, the people from the Jiangchuan Tourism Department will probably come to Guo Hongwei with a knife and come to Gu Miao to vent their anger.
