MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 44 The miracle of ten-day delivery

  Chapter 44 The miracle of ten-day delivery

   In the 1990s.

  The neon animation industry has developed from the early "transformation + girl" to "magic + girl", and has basically fixed the story setting of the horse monkey shochu.

   At this time, a comic called "Sailor Moon" was born. Taking "beautiful girls in gorgeous costumes and fighting against evil forces" as the core of the story, a novel setting of "battle girls" is thrown out.

   I have to say, this is fascinating.

The beautiful girl with long blond hair, wearing a blue and white sailor suit, shouting "I want to destroy you on behalf of the moon", not only became synonymous with the second dimension in the 90s, but also became the most classic anime with the theme of "Magic Girl" image one.

  Comparable to it, there are only a few works such as "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Magic Girl Madoka" and "Pretty Cure".

   And once out of the neon...

   Putting it all over the world, the audience who know and have seen "Sailor Moon" is definitely much more than the other works.

   This shows the amazing influence of the work "Sailor Moon".

   This is Wanbao Animation’s first animation after entering Neon. Let’s not talk about anything else, at least it’s about gaining fame, so you don’t have to worry about it.

   As for the difficulty of making...

  It’s 2010, an animation work in the 90s, even if it looked “magical” back then, it’s not so exaggerated now.

   After all, technology is always improving.

   This is also an important reason why Gu Miao chose "Sailor Moon". Due to the age limit, it is relatively simple to reproduce.

   Of course, low difficulty ≠ low cost!

  The average salary of a painter in the 1990s must be a world apart from what it is now. Spend the same money and want to do the same thing?

  Are you thinking about farting?

  Considering the particularity of "Sailor Moon", Gu Miao felt that no matter which one came out first, the serial manga or the TV animation, the corresponding production cycle would not be too short.

   There should be no hope this year.

   It may not be possible to see this work until the first half of next year, or the second half of next year.

before this…

  The first task of the newly established Wanbao (Neon) branch is to introduce the animation "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" and the comic book "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

   Lei Sudeng animation has already been negotiated.

   Through the animation broadcast of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", TBS has gradually tasted the sweetness. In Ikeda's words: Since Gu Sang sincerely asks me to whoring for nothing, then I will accept it mercifully.

   What a deal!

  Anyway, it’s a free-for-all animation, and it can be broadcast with dubbing and subtitles after taking it back. With such a low investment, as long as someone watches it, it won’t lose money.

  Whether TBS aggressively introduces foreign animations, will it squeeze the ratings share of domestic animations, resulting in a situation where "bad money drives out good money"...

   Please!

  They are capitalists! Have you heard the story of pouring milk into the river? Just make money yourself, who cares about other people's lives?

   Animation Don't worry.

  Even if Lei Sudeng's ratings and word-of-mouth hit the street after the introduction of Neon, this is not a problem for Wanbao Animation and TBS.

  Anyway, Uncle Gu sells toys, and TBS broadcasts free-for-all animations. In the eyes of others, the loss-making business is not a "stable profit without loss" business?

   What Gu Miao was really worried about was the release of the cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" written by teacher "Nantong".

   This hanging man is too abstract!

  The production cycle of the first volume of comics, the bottom line given by the company is to deliver the manuscript in two months. As long as the first volume of comics is produced before the end of the year, he will be considered a pass.

   "Two months?"

   "You look down on people, don't you? I'm a well-known tentacle monster. It's just a manga, and it takes two months?"

  Mr. Nantong put down these words, and took a few manga assistants he had just recruited, and started a retreat that lasted about ten days.

  After the retreat is over.

  Including the entire 10-episode plot of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" TV animation, the 108-page pre-printed version of the first volume of the manga was actually produced by him.

   Open and hang up, right? !

  In Neon, Gu Miao, who was running for the creative meeting, received the news and didn't know what to say.

  He had never seen such a monster.

  As far as he knows, even if the average cartoonist has an "assistant" to share the work pressure, it takes 5-6 hours to draw a page of cartoons, and about 15-20 pages of manuscripts can be submitted in a week.

  What is the concept of 108 pages in ten days?

  In one day, I finished what others did for a week, so how could Gu Miao not be worried?

  On the one hand, I am worried about Teacher Nantong's physical condition, and on the other hand, I am worried that the quality of the work will be poor due to the speed.

   Fortunately.

  The overall quality of the manga is not bad. It is not to reduce the quality of drawing for the sake of efficiency. The reason why Nantong draws so fast is actually just "staying up late and bursting the liver".

   "It's good to be young!"

  When Gu Miao thought of her predecessor who died suddenly due to a liver explosion, she told Ma Kui over the phone that she must take good care of Mr. Nan Tong and not let him fall down.

   Don't spoil your body!

   It was hard to find a cartoonist. If he stayed up late and died suddenly without a replacement, wouldn't Wanbao comics be sent?

certainly…

  Mr. Nantong's practice of "Gu is always my father, the company is my family" is worthy of praise. At least everyone in the company should feel the power of role models.

  "He is a candle, burning himself desperately, just to illuminate the future of the company! He is a warrior, not afraid of difficulties..."

  In the Wanbao Group's internal communication group, Gu Miao, in the name of the President's Office, posted a small composition, advocating the touching deeds of Mr. Nantong's "ten-day delivery" and calling on all employees to learn from him.

  Put it on show!

  Although it is hypocritical and perfunctory, the effect is quite good when used once in a while.

  For example, after Gu Miao's short essay was published, the company group was immediately swiped by the "tearful" expression, and the cohesion rose sharply.

   Well, this is fake...

  Gu Miao did write a short essay and posted it in the company group, but he did not see the reaction of the company employees.

  Because the meet and greet started.

  The "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animation master meeting hosted by TBS was held in a hotel in Kyoto.

   There are more than 300 animation fans who have come from afar. There are many parents who brought their children, as well as animation lovers wearing various Cosplay costumes.

   These are **** fans.

  For them, the biggest surprise at this "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animation creator meeting was undoubtedly the special chapter of "Battle in the Weird World" announced by Gu Miao.

   By the way.

  For this meeting, the production team prepared about 100 "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" plush dolls in advance as gifts for fans.

  Gu Miao thought it was enough.

   Who knew that the fans at the scene were too enthusiastic, and there were so many people, the distribution of these 100 plush dolls was finished soon.

  What about the rest?
