Chapter 595 The Terrifying Serial Popularity (Please Subscribe)
The revenge plan against Lida Toys is actually not complicated to say.
It's nothing more than targeting the opponent's main source of revenue and hitting them hard. It is better to launch a better and better product than the other party and directly sweep Lida Toys into the garbage heap.
So, here comes the problem.
What exactly is the flagship product of Lida Toys?
The answer is a robot with "fusion" as its biggest selling point. The core is a beast-shaped fusion assembly robot similar to the tokusatsu type in "Super Sentai".
OKOK!
Gu Miao has rich experience in dealing with this kind of combined robot. Putting aside everything else, he has seen at least a dozen robot animations with fusion elements.
If you pick up any of them at random, it will be a slap in the face of the existence of Lida toys.
"Fruit Attack" is one of them!
It's just that "Fruit Attack" followed a cute and funny route, and it was released relatively early. Now it has stopped being replayed, and its popularity is not as good as it used to be.
Putting aside the long-running and finished "Fruit Attack", the first thing Gu Miao thought of was actually another animation.
"Super Beast Arms"!
That's right!
It is this work that has been widely praised and praised for its philosophical plot after the broadcast.
What a coincidence!
"Super Beast Arms" and "Fruit Attack" are both animations produced by Blue Arc, and these two plus "Pig Man" are also collectively known as the "Blue Arc Three Fantasy Gods".
Wanbao Animation, which has already produced two of the Three Fantasy Gods, will naturally not let go of the last one.
Like to play combos?
Can you still beat Super Beast Arms? Do you understand the value of the combination of two, three, four, five, six and seven super beast gods?
In the area of mecha fusion, whether it is Lan Arc or Wanbao, they have many successful previous games and have rich experience.
only……
The concept of fusion is not the highlight of "Super Beast Arms".
The Wanbao version of "Pig Man" and "Fruit Boy" are both works supervised and directed by Huang Kun. In Gu Miao's view, Huang Kun is the director with the strongest "blue arc flavor" within Wanbao Animation.
If the production of "Super Beast Arms" is going to overwhelm Lida Toy, then the best candidate is him.
But Huang Kun is very busy recently.
Some time ago, the company held a meeting and announced that it would launch sequel plans for many popular animations this year. These include "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "That Year of the Rabbit" and "Pokémon", etc.
Huang Kun, who had just finished his wedding, also received the project for "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel City" from Gu Miao.
That is to say...
Before the second season of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" was completed and aired, it was actually difficult for him to free up his hands to produce "Super Beast Arms".
Gu Miao understood his difficulties very well.
Therefore, although he had a specific idea, he did not tell Huang Kun immediately. Instead, he planned to wait until the second half of the year when Huang Kun was free to discuss it with him.
As for now, of course it is more important to work on the second season of "Yu-Gi-Oh!"
…
End of May.
The animation "Detective Conan" continues to be popular, and sequels to many of Wanbao's popular TV animations, including Gu Miao's new work "The Prince of Tennis", are also in intensive production.
At this moment, Gu Miao quietly discovered a phenomenon that made him very happy.
Is "Dragon Ball" a bit fierce?
Some time ago, the "Dragon Ball" comics were met with lukewarm reception when an unknown cartoonist committed suicide after being bullied by Internet users.
But just a few weeks later.
With the increase in serial content and the plot becoming more and more popular, the popularity of "Dragon Ball" comics in China has gradually improved.
This is especially true in companies.
Wanbao is a large group company that develops around the animation industry, and its employees’ understanding of two-dimensional animation and comics is definitely no worse than anyone else’s.
in this case.
Generally, if there is any interesting animation or comic work, there may not be any news to the outside world, but it has already spread inside Wanbao.
no way!
Wanbao is an animation company. Since it is an animation company, it is reasonable for employees to pay more attention to industry trends and see more excellent works in the industry, right?
The old two-dimensional per capita is no joke.
Due to work or personal preferences, Wanbao employees like to hold comic books or watch animations on their tablets during their breaks.
Recently, Gu Miao discovered a very abnormal phenomenon.
As soon as he steps into the company door, no matter where he goes, he can always see employees reading "Dragon Ball" comics with gusto.
even……
Even the security guard on the first floor of the building is holding his mobile phone while on duty and reading "Dragon Ball" comics on the Bibi Comics website.
Pretty scary interest rate!
When Gu Miao discovered that even within the "Prince of Tennis" animation production team, a large number of people discussed the plot and characters of the "Dragon Ball" comics in their free time, he knew that Dragon Ball was probably on the rise!
This is a country where it was just introduced not long ago, and the comic series update progress is a few chapters later than that of Neon.
But on the neon side, that’s really outrageous!
In the weekly comics questionnaire survey report, the "Dragon Ball" comic that originally jumped from the bottom dozen to the top of the list has shocked everyone once.
But this is just the beginning.
As the comic continued to be serialized, the plot gradually became better and famous scenes appeared one after another, and the popularity of the comic took off instantly.
10,000 votes, 20,000 votes...
The weekly comics questionnaire survey basically has a fixed popularity feedback value.
After all, not everyone has the patience to cut out the "questionnaire form" printed on the last page of the comic book by the magazine, fill it out and send it to the magazine.
usually.
A popular comic strip that receives more than 2,000 questionnaires from readers within a week is considered a "super popular" comic and ranks first in the same period.
It was like this before...
However, the "Dragon Ball" manga does not take an unusual path, and its popularity has grown at a rate that has surprised almost everyone in the know.
When it first ranked first among the "most popular" comic strips in the same period, "Dragon Ball" only had more than 3,000 votes.
The next week it was eight thousand votes.
Next week, the number of votes exceeded 10,000, setting a record for the most questionnaires received by the magazine in one week.
Sounds like nothing?
But when the "Dragon Ball" comic was serialized and more than 20,000 questionnaire forms were received, how many questionnaire forms did the comics of the same period generally receive?
The answer is more than a thousand!
Twenty thousand versus one thousand, anyone who is not blind can see that the "Dragon Ball" comic has really taken off this time.
Such an exaggerated and terrifying serial popularity not only shocked the magazine responsible for the publication, but also caused many local animation companies in Neon that had not noticed the "Dragon Ball" comic to instantly become excited.
