MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 78 Animated character voting
Chapter 78 Animated character voting
The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Just as Gu Miao was busy packing up and moving into a brand new big villa, Neon TBS quietly broadcast the tenth episode of the animation "Sailor Moon".
This episode is titled—"Cursed Bus!" Sailor Mars Appears"
As can be seen from the title, this episode will feature a brand new "Sailor Soldier" character. And she is the Sailor Moon who symbolizes love and passion, Sailor Mars, and Rei Hino!
Including Sailor Mercury Mizuno Ami who appeared in the first two episodes, the number of Sailor Moon who has appeared has come to three.
Then here comes the problem...
How many Sailor Moons are there?
Gu Miao is not sure about this question. Because in the setting of "Sailor Moon", the number of "Sailor Warriors" has never been limited.
In other words.
As long as the production team is willing, they can create a brand new "Sailor Warrior" according to the settings at any time.
Finished the name of the solar system?
Isn’t there other galaxies? There are so many galaxies on the "star map" of the universe, so where is it?
Of course, among the large number of "Sailor Warriors", the fighters who are most recognized by the audience and the most popular are those from the "Solar System".
To be precise, there are only a few people such as Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter.
To put it bluntly...
Everyone is Shockwave, and "Sailor Warrior" is all three members of Xiaotu's family in C!
Well, this is a joke.
Not to mention others, the trio of beautiful girl origins, that is, Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, and Rei Hino, are still quite popular.
Especially Rei Hino.
Gu Miao fell in love with this sailor soldier with a beautiful appearance, a cold personality, and a faint sense of distance from other beautiful girls.
"But…"
"Didn't you say that you will always like Moon Hare?" Ma Kui said with a strange expression.
"impossible!"
Gu Miao reprimanded with a straight face: "How could I say such a thing? Only the field guard is blind, so he likes such a Jiangmi ball head!"
"All right, all right."
Ma Kui said helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you empathize with someone else, but TBS holds the annual animation character voting, we have to find a way?"
The number of votes is a bit miserable!
Two days ago, Neon TBS held the annual "Most Popular" animation character voting event. All animations broadcast from January to December last year were on the list, and "Sailor Moon" was no exception.
Although, this is just a "vain name".
But this false name is quite bluffing for "non-neon audiences".
Gu Miao is planning to introduce "Sailor Moon" into the country. If she can help "Moon Hare" get the first place in this popularity vote, it will be considered a "gimmick" when promoting it.
He thought so.
However, in actual implementation, many difficulties have been encountered. Although the ratings of "Sailor Moon" are quite high, it is a "new show at the end of the year" after all, and it has only broadcast about 10 episodes.
How does this compare?
The other characters that are also on the list are basically "completed" animations, with a solid foundation of popularity. On the other hand, Moon Hare has only become popular not long ago, and the accumulation of popularity is insufficient.
If it takes a few more months, when "Sailor Moon" is broadcast to about 20-30 episodes, the character image will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A popular vote in the district must be easy to grasp.
But not now...
"The first place on the list is the protagonist of the animation "Stealer Detective", and the second place is the heroine of "The Potato King of Siberia"."
Ma Kui pouted and said: "The number of votes for these two characters has exceeded 10,000 in just two days, and their popularity is very high. Moon Hare's side only has more than 3,000 votes, which is a big gap."
It is almost impossible to turn the tables.
An animation aired in December can have one-third of the popularity of "Detective Stealing Heart" aired at the beginning of the year, which is already amazing.
There is almost no hope for the first place, but the top three can be won.
"Oh, by the way..."
Ma Kui seemed to have missed something, and patted his forehead and added: "Pleasant Goat's votes are not low, it seems to have more than 2,000 votes."
What smelly fish and rotten shrimp?
Gu Miao frowned and said, "Is the gap that big? How many days are there until the voting deadline?"
"Five days!"
"It's really difficult to chase 8,000 votes in five days." Gu Miao mused, "But it's not impossible to engage in shady activities!"
Shady? !
Ma Kui's eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "Is this...is it okay? Won't it be exposed and cause infamy?"
"what are you thinking?"
Gu Miao explained: "The shady I'm talking about is not looking for TBS to swipe tickets. It's about asking for help outside the venue, so that those neutral viewers who didn't vote can vote for Moon Hare!"
The so-called off-site help.
In fact, it is to use "benefit fees" to lure those viewers who are not firm enough. For example, how about voting for "drawing hands"?
It's really not working...
How about taking a few photos of animation supervisor Gu Shuishui's "three-point" swimsuit with autographed photo?
"It seems to be possible."
Ma Kui scratched his head and asked, "However, there are more than 8,000 votes. How many figures are more appropriate for us to draw?"
"Draw 10 copies first to see the effect."
Gu Miao made a decision and said: "If the number of votes still does not overtake, then increase the number to 20 or 30 figures!"
This false name, he will decide!
How much can dozens of figures be worth? As long as you can win the title of "Most Popular Animated Character of the Year", you will save more than this amount in publicity costs.
It's a good deal no matter what.
if we assume…
If the neon audience doesn't bow down for five buckets of rice, and even the "vote for hands" doesn't work, then Gu Miao also has an alternative plan.
"What alternative?"
Ma Kui asked with a puzzled face, "It's not like hiring Vietnamese killers to blow up the toilets of other animation companies, forcing them to withdraw from the competition, right?"
"No no no."
Gu Miao laughed and said, "My alternative is actually to let the voice actor record a voice, and then put on the character's skin."
Mina-san!
Please put your power... oh no, vote for the cute and charming bunny! Arigado, Mua!
He didn't believe it.
Under this kind of offensive, can those boys and girls resist voting for Xiaotu?
Impossible!
A mere 8,000 votes. At first glance, the gap is huge, but this is because the vast majority of the audience did not participate.
If most of the audience can be called to vote, let alone 8,000 votes, it is not difficult to cast 80,000 votes in one night. After all, the current ratings of "Sailor Moon" have exceeded 10%.
It's still neon...
If the main battlefield is in the country, especially Weibo, then under Gu Miao's operation, there is no suspense about the championship, and the champagne will be opened in advance.
certainly.
Even if Gu Miao has made arrangements, the specific effect will depend on the audience's choice. On the neon side, the gap of 8,000 votes...
To be honest, there is still hope.
