Chapter 766 Angry Birds (Please Subscribe)
Gu Miao didn't know about Little Bear's roar that completely broke his defense. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.
The time has come for June.
The animations "Crayon Shin-chan", "PreCure", "Fathers" and "Bear Bears" are still popular on TV stations around the world.
Among them, "Bear Bears" has an absolute lead, easily surpassing all its opponents and ranking first in the ratings of children's cartoon TV programs during the same period.
The first season of "Crayon Shin-chan" is almost over, "The Brothers" focuses on toy peripherals, and "Sailor Moon" is an overseas animation...
This summer, as expected, "Bear Bears" is dominating the country, and no one can stop it.
But then again.
Although "Bear Bears" has achieved relatively excellent ratings after its broadcast and has won the love of many children under the age of 12, its performance is far inferior to the original "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
The Second Emperor of Wanbao, that’s it?
Isn’t it meant to replace Pleasant Goat and become the new king of TV animation? Judging from this performance, it doesn’t seem to work!
The meaning of this sentence is not to say that "Bear Bears" performed poorly. In fact, the results were already very good, and the ratings also topped the list for the same period. It is not bad by any means.
But the animation "Bear Bears" is aimed at "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
What anime is Pleasant Goat?
As soon as it was aired, it became popular all over the country. The replay ratings were higher than the first broadcast. Even at its most glorious moment, hundreds of TV stations across the country replayed this animation at the same time.
So far, the first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" includes a special episode of the weird world battle, and it is still the TV animation with the most "replays" in China.
As of the first half of this year, Jiangchuan Satellite TV, including Jiangchuan Children's Channel, has rebroadcast "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" for a total of 1,031 hours.
Other TV stations, such as Shonan Children's Channel, Kuka Children's Channel, Zhonghai Children's Channel, etc., also rebroadcast hundreds of hours.
What a bummer!
Just one TV station can rebroadcast an animation for a total of thousands of hours! Ordinary people may not quite understand what these one thousand hours represent...
Then give me an example!
Suppose you want to advertise on a TV station, then the price of the advertising space you buy is usually calculated in "seconds"! Count in seconds!
How many seconds are in one thousand hours?
All in all, it goes without saying that the success of the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series of animations is an absolute phenomenon-level animation work that can dominate the world.
But look at it now.
Although "Bear Bears" can be regarded as a "phenomenal" animation work, it did not achieve the great feat of "suppressing the world" and was far inferior to the original Pleasant Goat.
"Not urgent!"
Gu Miao was very calm and did not think that the performance of the first season of "Bear Bears" was very poor. At best, he was just a quasi-emperor or something.
This is the premiere, why are you so anxious?
For these two bears to really show their strength, you have to watch reruns, or even the second and third seasons later.
"Running fast doesn't necessarily mean you win, but not falling down means success!"
Borrowing an advertisement from 8848, Gu Miao said earnestly: "I've already told you that "Bear Bears" is a steady and steady type. Why are you still dreaming about reaching the sky in one step?"
"My, my..."
Lao Zhang quickly apologized: "I'm just worried! After all, we have placed too high expectations on the "Bear Infested" project."
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Gu Miao shook her head and sighed, "As long as our ratings are still rising and the children also like Xiong Daxiong Er, there is no need to worry."
Pleasant Goat is a genius!
As soon as he was born, he stunned the world. He was equivalent to the "proud son of heaven" in fantasy novels, a peerless genius who only emerges after tens of thousands of years.
But Bear Haunting is not a genius, or even a mediocre person, and his start is very mediocre.
But by taking one step at a time, it surpassed countless opponents and stood at the highest position. It felt like a "waste counterattack".
So Gu Miao was not in a hurry.
Just hold a potential stock like this in your hands and cultivate it slowly. Now let "Bear Infested" dominate the world. Isn't that a foolish dream?
At this time, Gu Miao was more concerned about the "game-to-comic" plan proposed by Naifly than "Bear Bears".
Naifly has great ideas.
They know very well that there is no chance to make another Wanbao animation that started with Pleasant Goat. Entering the market so late, the cost of trial and error is quite high.
Therefore, Naifly chose a conservative route - focusing on IP over originality!
Among the many IPs, Naifly has not been too involved in comics and novels that are more suitable for animation adaptations, and it does not have rich experience in this area, so it does not dare to enter the market rashly.
They chose the game.
As a partner, Naifly quickly approached Wanbao after deciding to take the "game modification" route, and said very proudly: "Hey man! I have a few good ideas, how about we work together?"
"OK! OK!"
It was Naifly who provided the money anyway, so Gu Miao didn't mind hearing what idea they came up with?
The results shocked him.
I can only say that Naifly is worthy of being Naifly. The connections and connections in Europe and the United States are indeed ridiculously strong.
The targets they selected were all popular online games, popular single-player games, and well-known 3A masterpieces on the market.
Among them, Gu Miao saw "Angry Birds" and "Warcraft", as well as the globally popular "Counter-Strike" and "League of Legends"...
"seriously?"
Gu Miao never thought that Naifly could even obtain the licenses for these games. The one that surprised him the most was probably League of Legends.
As expected of Naifly!
While Gu Miao was impressed by Naifly's magical power, she was also seriously thinking about the differences, pros and cons of these game IPs.
The game IPs selected by Naifly are well-known around the world, and their adaptation into animations is also very promising. It can be said that they will definitely make money without losing money.
Among them, the one that Gu Miao desires most and has the most ideas is probably "League of Legends".
It's a pity that he is self-aware.
Wanbao's current production strength requires the addition of Dave's team to make a big cast like "Battle of Two Cities".
That's not the point...
If we really want to build the Twin Cities, the worst possible scenario is to transfer Dave's team to China, or to recruit some industry experts. In short, there will be no problem with manpower.
The problem is time!
Such a super big IP, such a project, what results can be achieved without struggling for two or three years?
"Tom and Jerry" is no longer being produced?
Wanbao has not released a new work for so long, and has been silent for two or three years just to polish this one work. Is it worthwhile?
So at the end of the day...
Although Gu Miao really wanted the "League of Legends" IP and wanted to tell Naifly his thoughts about the Twin Cities, his reason told him that this was not realistic.
“What about Angry Birds?”
Gu Miao pondered: "Can this IP be acquired? I think it would be quite interesting if this game was adapted into an animation."
"no problem!"
Naifly readily agreed.
However, they also have a requirement, that is, the animation adapted from this game must give priority to audiences in Europe and the United States.
Don't ask, the main market for Naifly is Europe and the United States. When they invest in an animation, they must give priority to whether it can create value for themselves.
If Wanbao follows its own habits and only takes care of Chinese audiences in terms of plot or lines and characters, then it would be meaningless for Naifly to invest in this animation.
After all, they don’t have much market in China. Even if the animation is made and becomes very popular in China, it won’t be able to help them expand their business and membership...
Gu Miao understood this.
Even if Naifly didn't say it, he wouldn't make such a mistake. After all, it is their duty to take care of the sponsor's feelings.
After ending the call with Naifly's senior management, Gu Miao rubbed her brows, her expression indescribably uncomfortable.
angry Birds?
This thing... the original version seems to be a movie, right? It seems a bit difficult to adapt it into a TV animation!
This is not the key. The key is who to find to supervise the production of this animation? He himself definitely doesn't have time due to "The Adventures of Uncle Long".
Hou Bin is busy working on the "Master Chef Little Fugui" project, Huang Kun is tossing about "Pig Man: Bravely Entering the Future City", Du Hao is watching lions in Africa, and Director Wang is worrying about the big movie for the Year of the Monkey at the end of the year...
It's better to let Ma Kui come on!
Anyway, idleness is idle, and sending him to earn US dollars is considered a waste.
The weather is dry, please pay attention to fire safety. The mountain behind my house almost burned down. Fortunately, it was put out in time...
