MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 10 Special Chapter - "Battle in the Weird World"
Chapter 10 Special - "Battle in the Weird World"
The sky cleared and the rain stopped.
The long summer vacation is coming to an end!
During the last weekend of August, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" finally achieved an epic achievement—
Dominate Jiangchuan!
Whether it was the ace variety show of Jiangchuan Comprehensive Channel or the live connection of the news channel, they were all defeated in the face of the vicious forces of Qingqing Grassland.
Not only that.
After successfully conquering the primary school students in Jiangchuan, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" also entered the field of vision of audiences across the country. The highest ratings exceeded 2%, causing a sensation.
You know, this is Jiangchuan Children's Channel!
Before the broadcast of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", a channel that even the locals in Jiangchuan didn't like to watch, actually created such an amazing ratings miracle, wouldn't the colleagues be shocked?
Wang Chang's teeth flew out of laughter.
Oh almost forgot...
Because of his outstanding work ability, Minister Wang has now been promoted. He has successfully held the title of "Deputy Director" and was promoted to the leadership of the TV station.
"I can have today, all on my own!"
In an interview with front-line reporters, Director Wang crossed the river and said: "Who is Miaomiao? I don't know him! I am the director of the station because of my own efforts, so don't talk nonsense."
This hanging man is really outrageous.
Before, he greeted him with a smile, "Xiao Miao" and "Miao Miao" shouted very affectionately.
After learning about the sales situation of the peripheral derivatives of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", he changed his mind on the spot and severely criticized Comrade "Gu Shuishui" for his ungrateful behavior of eating alone.
Gu Miao was also drunk.
He made more than half of the money he earned through the licensing of derivative products, which is less than half of what Director Wang sold the second round of broadcasting rights. Why is he eating alone?
The second-round broadcast rights of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" were sold to 15 TV stations outside the province. The specific transaction price is unknown.
But Gu Miao guessed that it should be about 10,000-20,000 yuan per episode!
Based on this price, Director Wang’s initial investment of 6 million has not only doubled several times, but also successfully increased the ratings of the children’s channel. It can be said that Qin Shihuang touched the wire and won.
not to mention…
In addition to the second-round broadcast rights, there are also network broadcast rights, as well as subsequent three-round and four-round broadcast revenue.
It can add up to hundreds of millions.
The income that Gu Miao obtained by authorizing peripherals was only a few million. After all, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has only just become popular, and the sales volume of its peripherals cannot be too high.
One is a short-term return, the other is a long-term meal ticket, the two are simply incomparable.
Gu Miao didn't feel disadvantaged either.
Where is this going?
"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has more than one TV animation, and there are several big movies alone. The less money you earn now does not mean that you will earn less in the future.
As long as the copyright of peripheral derivatives is in his hands, it will be an inexhaustible super gold mine.
certainly…
Now the IP of Pleasant Goat still has a long way to go before becoming a gold mine. Leaving aside anything else, at least "Battle in the Weird World" hasn't come out yet!
This is a turning point that determines the future fate of the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series, and it is also the first step towards the altar.
The importance is self-evident.
When the total series of Pleasant Goat was about to exceed 100 episodes, Gu Miao called all the members of Wolf Castle Studio and held a discussion meeting on the direction of the plot.
"Special chapter?"
Seeing this title, Huang Kun, the deputy director and animation director, was full of surprise and said: "Use 50-100 episodes to tell a long adventure story with a grand background? Will there really be no problems?"
Serial dramas are different from unit dramas.
One episode of a unit drama tells a relatively complete story. The advantage of this is that each episode is a new story, and no matter which episode the audience starts to watch, there will be no difference in perception.
But serial dramas are different.
Because the plot is coherent, viewers who follow up on the middle of the episode may have a blank mind after watching the entire episode, completely unclear about the relationship between the characters and the direction of the story.
Of course, serial dramas also have advantages.
At least it is not limited by the length and length of the script, which can greatly improve the fullness of the script and make the whole story more vivid and exciting.
Huang Kun's worries are not unreasonable.
"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has aired nearly 100 episodes of the unit drama, which has left a deep "fixed impression" on the audience. Suddenly changed to a series mode, what kind of special episode, can the children really accept this change?
"no need to worry."
Gu Miao explained: "The production of this special chapter will not start now, but will start after a while, maybe next year."
"By then, our audience base has stabilized. Launching a special chapter is not unacceptable."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Then it will be fine.
Although the production of the special chapter will not start until the end of the year, or even next year, but now we can start thinking about what kind of story we want to tell.
In this regard, Gu Miao mentioned a general direction.
After failing to catch sheep many times, Big Big Wolf used the ultimate weapon, the anion ball, to deal with the lambs. The lambs couldn't resist, so they could only counterattack with the treasure of the town and the village.
As a result, the yin and yang **** collided, accidentally opening a magical passage leading to the strange underground world.
Thus, a fantasy adventure journey in a different world revolved around the two new characters "Brother Xiaosha" and "Hei Dashuai" began...
Because the interval is too long.
Gu Miao has forgotten the detailed plot of "The Great Battle in the Weird World". He only remembers that Marshal Hei was an important villain in the early stage, trying to rule the entire Weird World.
Brother Xiaosa is positioned as a "brave".
When he fuses with Eggy, he can transform into a superman with superpowers. His favorite sentence is "Draw a circle and curse you".
These two are brothers!
Brother Xiaosa is a white egg, and Marshal Hei is a black egg. The distinctive art design endows these two characters with unique charm.
If Gu Miao remembers correctly...
In many sequels such as "Sheep and Sheep Games" and "Rescue Soldiers Across Time and Space", you can see Brother Xiaosa and Hei Dashuai as cameos.
belongs to the gold medal supporting role.
Of course, Marshal Hei was just bad in the early stage, and he changed his ways later. At that time, the opponent of the lambs became the familiar Big Big Wolf again.
This is the pinnacle of Big Big Wolf's life!
Throughout the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf animation series, including the theatrical version of the big movie, Big Big Wolf's most glorious period is "The Battle of the Weird World".
I, Big Big Wolf!
A wolf with "Invincible" written on its face!
The entire green grassland...
No one dared to talk to him, under the pressure of absolute power, even his wife Red Wolf became extremely cute and gentle.
Inherited the mana of Marshal Hei, and ate the magic pill that the mother chicken gave out, which can increase the skill by 100 times. It can be said that if there is no halo of the protagonist, this animation would have ended long ago.
