Chapter 633 Rewards Distribution (Happy New Year’s Day)

The development prospects of comedy animation have actually always been the best among all animation themes.

There is no doubt about this.

Looking at the popular animation works on the market, most of the contents have a little bit of comedy elements.

Therefore, Gu Miao is not too worried about the future prospects of Konjac Studio after determining the route. What he is really worried about is that the company's stall is getting bigger and bigger. How will the cake be divided in the future?

People have always said that he is partial in the past.

Nowadays, the company's stall is so big and there are so many studios. How to divide the cake fairly and equitably is a difficult decision.

To make it simple, just divide them according to their earning ability?

That's too rough!

There will definitely be objections to setting up a puppet studio like this. They are the kind of studio that has not made much money from the beginning until now.

According to the number of works?

No way!

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Miao still couldn't figure out how to balance the resource allocation plan among the company's major studios, so Gu Miao simply gave up.

Let Lao Zhang have a headache.

As for how Lao Zhang will divide the cake and strive to satisfy and convince every studio, that is not something that he, the boss, should worry about.

anyway.

As a dedicated executive vice president of Wanbao Group, Lao Zhang has always been known as the "Wanbao Butler". Under the premise that Mr. Gu is absent from work all year round, he attends many formal occasions on his behalf.

Because of this, Lao Zhang unknowingly took the blame for the real company boss and became the target of many netizens' anger and denunciation.

Are the toys of poor quality?

Netizens cursed and cursed, saying that this person named Zhang must have embezzled funds and shoddy the funds.

The voice actor in the first season of the animation was absent from the second season due to illness, so the production team was forced to replace him?

No need to ask, it must be this guy named Zhang who is corrupt again. He doesn't want to hire some famous voice actor at a high price, but just hires some new ones to fool everyone.

"Why don't you scold Gu Maggot?"

"Are you blind? Gu Maggot is filming a XX animation, how can he have the time to care about these things? Therefore, the culprit must be Zhang Gou."

Lao Zhang is wronged!

These fans on the Internet have come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories.

Someone else swore that he and Lao Zhang were classmates and saw with his own eyes Lao Zhang's wife driving a multi-million dollar luxury car and drying moldy banknotes on the balcony. He didn't know how much money had been embezzled...

"Reflect on it!"

Gu Miao couldn't help laughing and said: "Why is it that when the quality of toys is not good, consumers' first reaction is that you are corrupt, rather than Ma Kui or Lao He?"

"How would I know?"

"Maybe they just want to find an excuse to complain about our company."

Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and said: "If I scold you, you are not shy, thick-skinned, and not aggressive. Ma Kui is not in charge of the toy business, and Lao He is still my subordinate in name..."

All right!

After going around in a circle, I found that attacking Lao Zhang is more effective. After all, the four maggot brothers have been scolding each other for so many years and have not achieved any results. How about trying someone else?

"Hahaha!"

Not only Gu Miao, but others were also amused by Lao Zhang's witty remarks.

"Okay, okay, stop laughing."

Gu Miao put away her smile and returned to seriousness and said: "Be more serious in meetings! Continue to discuss the topic just now, about matters related to the distribution of [Wanbao·Popular Star] rewards..."

Everyone sat upright and took out pens and papers to write down the summary of Mr. Gu's speech.

The content of the meeting is actually very simple.

After the [Wanbao·Popular Star] animation character popularity voting event in August came to an end, many fans urged Wanbao to "fulfill its promise" as soon as possible.

This is what Gu Miao was talking about.

The matter of redeeming the prize actually has little to do with the characters other than the top three.

The rewards received by 4-10 people are nothing more than some customized figures, badges, cards, plush toys, clothing and stationery peripherals, etc.

For such physical peripheral rewards, Wanbao Toys has already made plans and can produce them by opening a mold. It is not difficult at all, and it is not worthy of Gu Miao's special meeting to discuss.

The real discussion is about the top three.

The rewards for the runner-up and third place are slightly better than those for the fourth place. They are also "customized versions" of a bunch of physical peripheral derivatives.

The only difference is that both the third place and the second place have TV extra dramas with a "side story" nature. The runner-up will have 2 episodes, and the runner-up will have only 1 episode.

This means.

Two supporting female characters from the two anime series "Detective Conan" and "Date A Live", Ai Haibara and Kurumi Tokisaki, will have their own spin-off episodes.

Kurumi is fairly simple.

After all, the animation production team had originally planned to make a "Kuan San Gaiden" for her, but now they are just following the trend.

But Xiao Ai is having a hard time...

When the character Xiao Ai was born, no one, including Mr. Qingshan, actually expected that she would become so popular.

To make two spin-off episodes around her, we have to re-edit the plot and think about what angle to start with.

Someone suggested that Xiao Ai start before she "takes medicine to become smaller" and tell about her family, the black organization and other things.

But Gu Miao felt that this was a spoiler.

Be it the black organization or Xiao Ai’s life and family background, it would be too early to reveal these secrets now.

Let’s start from when she took medicine and became smaller before meeting Conan!

The plot does not involve Conan playing with Xiaolan. It mainly talks about the drastic changes in Xiaoai's emotions and thoughts after her body became smaller, and how she adapted to this change.

Fans are the selling point!

After all, this is a spin-off series designed to reward fans for voting, and the fans' feelings must be given priority, so there is nothing wrong with choosing a private show for fans.

Finally, there is the championship reward!

Since Gu Miao had agreed in advance that Wanbao Animation would create a spin-off theatrical version around the anime character who won the championship.

Do not misunderstand!

Don't go to movie theaters to make money, just broadcast the theatrical version of the story for free on online platforms.

Doing this is thankless.

Precisely because of Mr. Gu's request, this side story theatrical version was used as a reward to give back to fans, so it could not be shown in cinemas, and no one was interested.

"If you don't want to go to the cinema, then go and film it yourself!"

“I’ll shoot it if I shoot it!”

Gu Miao said speechlessly: "Really, isn't it just a TV animation that lasts a little longer? Why are you so resistant?"

How much time can this waste?

Since it does not go to the cinema, the production requirements are not that high. It is nothing more than an extended version of TV animation.

Considering that no one in the company was willing to take over the deal, in order not to disappoint the fans, Gu Miao simply took over the deal herself.

It won’t take long to shoot anyway.

One week, Gu Miao estimated, was almost enough. Most of this week was probably spent writing scripts.

If there is a ready-made script, it can probably be completed in three or four days.
