Chapter 341 The Opening Season (Please Subscribe)
After entering September, Wanbao Animation released two breaking news one after another.
The animation "The Little Master of China" adapted from the popular Bibi comic book "Master Chef Liu Pleiades" is about to start its first round of broadcast on TV platforms.
OK! OK!
The news that "The Little Master of China" is about to air has spread all over the Internet, and no one is particularly interested in this matter.
The reason is very simple...
When Wanbao Animation introduced this animation, it mentioned that this is a relatively rare work about "traditional Chinese cuisine".
Is that a gourmet show?
I am so sorry!
Everyone is not very interested in gourmet food. Because in everyone’s eyes, what’s the point of cooking? Could there be a different world adventure that would be good to watch?
Let’s take a look at the second news!
Well-known animation director Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui, whom everyone is familiar with, will bring you a brand new TV animation work this school season.
The name is "The Three Jelly Musketeers"!
It is reported that this is a short 3D animation. There are not many episodes, and the total duration barely exceeds 500 minutes, which is average in the industry.
Is this animation being exposed for the first time?
Before this, Gu Miao had only revealed to the outside world that when he was making the movie "Snake Comes Around", he also made a 3D animation while busy.
Everyone only knows that there is such an animation, but they have no idea what its name is or what type of theme it belongs to.
It was finally exposed today!
Although judging from the information disclosed by Wanbao, "The Three Jelly Musketeers" is not as good as "The Little Master of China" in terms of production cost and PV performance.
But it's attractive.
no way!
Who makes Director Gu Miao much more famous than Director Wang? Coupled with the characteristics of the food theme of "The Little Master of China", this difference will naturally result.
The two animations announced their subtitles and premiere dates almost at the same time.
But the attention and discussion it received were completely different from each other. The production cost of "The Little Master of China" is higher, and the actual picture performance is more sophisticated, but there are very few fans paying attention to this animation.
Most of the audience was attracted by Gu Miao's "The Three Jelly Musketeers".
"Not surprising."
Gu Miao patiently explained: "On the one hand, "The Three Jelly Musketeers" has the blessing of my fame, so it will be particularly eye-catching."
"On the other hand, in addition to being a food-themed show, "The Little Master of China" also lacks the support of fans of the original comics."
What kind of comic is "Master Chef Liu Pleiades"?
Serialized on the Bibi Comics platform, it has extremely low popularity and can be described as the ultimate online comic. Even if there is news of an adaptation, it has not attracted many new readers.
How many original fans can this kind of comic have?
It can only be said that "The Little Master of China" has a poor foundation. Although it is an animated adaptation, it has no support from fans of the original work. It is not too miserable.
but……
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty!
Don't look at the momentum and popularity of "The Three Jelly Musketeers" now. It can be said that it became a hit before it was broadcast!
"The Young Master of China" has very little popularity, and its popularity and discussion were almost all taken away by "The Three Jelly Musketeers".
But Gu Miao knows very well that as soon as the two animations start broadcasting, this situation will soon usher in a "reversal."
Polar reversal?
That’s pretty much what it means!
The current popularity of "The Three Jelly Musketeers" is really a bit "too high of expectations". It would be almost the same if it was "Fruit Attack", but this is not the case!
Quite the opposite!
Although "The Little Master of China" is not well-known and was stolen from the limelight by Gu Miao's jelly man, the quality of the work is here.
The high production costs, excellent animation quality, and "luminous cooking" gimmick all laid the foundation for the rise of "The Little Master of China".
You can say that……
As long as the audience is not blind, they will fall in love with the animation "The Little Master of China".
Audiences who go to see "The Three Jelly Musketeers" with very high expectations will most likely be dissuaded by the nonsensical style and think that this is not their cup of tea.
Just because I saw through this.
When Director Wang was worried about "The Little Master of China", Gu Miao came to comfort him and said that he was really worrying too much.
""The Three Jelly Musketeers" is not a competitor of "The Little Master of China", at least not now..."
Gu Miao believes that if the jelly animation series wants to compete with works of the level of "The Little Master of China", it must at least wait until "Fruit Attack" is released.
Director Wang is worried that this is unnecessary.
Instead of worrying about being robbed of viewership share by "The Three Jelly Musketeers", it's better to worry about the popular "Pokémon" that has not yet finished!
That's right!
The "Pokémon" animation is still popular on the Flamingo Cartoon Channel, and nearly 80 episodes have been aired so far. The plot is still at the stage where Xiaozhi stopped in the top 16 of the Quartz Conference in tears.
It’s still too early to be finished!
The original unprinted version of "Pokémon" has a total of more than 270 episodes, and the Wanbao version has a similar number of episodes, also more than 200 episodes.
After the Jiangchuan Quartz Conference, Xiaozhi will go to the Orange Islands next. After the Orange Islands chapter is over, he will go to the China Sea Alliance...
According to the storyline, only one-third of the current "Pokémon" animation has been broadcast?
This is Director Wang’s serious problem!
You know, the animated "Pokémon" has been broadcast for nearly two months. With its excellent finishing quality and the fan base of the original game, it has captured the vast majority of the audience.
to be honest!
Since the beginning of the summer vacation, the ratings of "Pokémon" have skyrocketed, firmly holding the top spot in the ratings for the same period.
Although "Little Master of China" also has great potential, Gu Miao is skeptical about its possibility of overturning "Pikachu".
Fortunately, we are all a family.
No matter who loses or wins, who is first or second, Wanbao will make a lot of money in the end.
"It would be nice to get second place."
Director Wang is very open-minded and knows that the ratings share of "Pokémon" is not that easy to grab. It is already good to be ranked second in the same period.
But Gu Miao had a different view.
"Secondly, it's not so stable! Let's not talk about whether "The Three Jelly Musketeers" has the possibility of counterattack. Have you forgotten that our Wanbao also has another popular animation?"
"Ah? You mean..."
Director Wang was confused by this sentence. Just as he was thinking hard about which other Wanbao animation was currently on the air, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Sailor Moon R?"
"But... isn't this animation already out of date in China?"
"Who told you?"
Gu Miao chuckled and said, "It's cool or not. What you say doesn't count, and what I say doesn't count. Only the core audience can decide the outcome!"
It was really cool in the early days.
But with the conclusion of the Demon Realm Tree Chapter and the story entering the "Black Moon Empire Chapter", the popularity and discussion of the anime "Sailor Moon R" in China seems to have suddenly recovered?
