Wanbao Animation is not a monolithic company.

Although everyone usually has a harmonious atmosphere and calls each other brothers, the relationship is extremely good. But when it comes to competing for resources, they turn against each other and become enemies to death.

"Tamako Market" is an animation produced by Kyoani Studio.

First, this animation has not been aired yet, so it is impossible to determine its performance and reputation. It is too early to talk about the theatrical version now.

Secondly, Kyoani is a new team member who has just joined Wanbao. Even with the support of Mr. Gu, he still doesn’t have the confidence to speak in front of a group of veterans.

Based on the above two points, the plan for the theatrical version of "Tamako Love Story" was killed as soon as it was proposed.

Do not misunderstand!

This was not done by Gu Miao, he was the one who made this suggestion. How could he kill his own proposal?

Mainly because the internal opposition was too loud. Lao Zhang, Huang Kun, Hou Bin and others all felt that this resolution was too hasty and should be reconsidered.

If we really want to make a theatrical version, we have to wait until the TV animation "Tamaja Market" has achieved results. Before the results are achieved, the theatrical version plan will indeed be difficult to convince the public.

"Okay, then wait."

Although Gu Miao can make the final decision and forcefully pass this resolution, he must also worry about the emotional problems of some people in the company and not let everyone think that he is partial.

Wolfsburg Studio has been ridiculed as the Prince's Studio before. If there is another Prince, other studios will definitely be uncomfortable.

Kyoani agrees with this.

Let’s wait until we get results?

Great! As a weekly animation, the animation "Tamako Market" will be broadcast directly on Neon's local TV station, and it is rushing to achieve results.

As the producer of animations such as "Dragon Ball", "Sailor Moon" and "Pretty Cure", Wanbao's appeal in the neon market is quite strong.

Especially the animation "Tamako Market" is different from previous works, and it has a "little fresh" feeling.

Ever since.

The animation "Tamako Market" has been airing for a week, and the response to the first two episodes has been extremely good. Its popularity is no less than that of several popular "lightly modified manga" animations that were aired at the same time.

As the main scene of the animation, Tushan Shopping Street has welcomed countless tourists to check in with the popularity of the animation.

Yes!

There are prototypes of Usagiyama Shopping Street in reality, and prototypes can be found not only in Usagiyama Shopping Street, but also in the schools where Tamako and Mokozo attended, conspicuous convenience stores on the roadside, and even vending machines.

This is also a major feature of Kyoani Studio.

In their animations, the scene architecture is basically designed with reference to real prototypes, and there are very few fictional elements, so the stories will look very real and have the feeling of happening around you and me.

…

"Realistic?"

The animation "Tamako Market" became a hit, and Gu Miao was greatly inspired by the fact that the real-life "Tushan Shopping Street" was crowded with tourists who came here to see it.

As we all know.

As the production of the animation "Guardians of Yangcun" comes to an end, he is also having another headache, which is how to create a setting system for the new version of the "Superman" animation.

The settings are very complete.

We have held countless seminars before, and the setting of the "Superman" project has been discussed in great detail.

But Gu Miao was still dissatisfied. He always felt that there was a big problem with this setting system, but he couldn't figure out where it was not perfect.

After reading the first two chapters of "Tamako Market", his doubts seemed to have been answered.

Found the crux of the problem!

The problem with the setting system of Wanbao's new version of "Superman" lies in the unclear historical background.

As we all know, Superman was born on Krypton and was sent to Earth by his parents to take refuge when he was young. He was then discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer, the Kents, and named him Clark Kent.

After growing up, Clark came to the metropolis and became a reporter for the "Daily Planet"...

Gu Miao always thought that there was no problem with the background of this story and it was very classic.

But now he realizes that there is a problem with this setting, and it is a big problem! Only the background of Superman was explained, but in what era did he live?

1930s and 1940s?

Or is it the 21st century?

Looking through the previous works in the "Superman" series, it is not difficult to find the fact that the background of Superman usually changes with the year in which the works were created.

simply put.

If it's a Superman work from 30 years ago, the background of the story is what it was like 30 years ago. If it's a Superman work from 20 years ago, the background is what it was like 20 years ago.

Back to the present, Wanbao decided to restart the "Superman" series and produce a new TV animation for it.

Then here comes the problem.

Is the background of the story set in 201X, an era that is closer to reality, or is it earlier, such as the 1990s or 1980s, so that old fans feel more familiar?

"It's better to stay close to reality."

Gu Miao is a representative of the group that keeps pace with the times. He advocates that the era of Superman's life should change with the era of the creation of the work.

Since the Wanbao version of "Superman" was born after 2010, the story background cannot be earlier than this time.

"NO! Can you imagine Superman using a smartphone? Sorry! I can't!"

Dave is an absolute representative of the traditional retro school. He advocates that Superman should be more retro. Modern story backgrounds may destroy Superman.

There are good reasons on both sides.

Gu Miao couldn't convince Dave for a while, and similarly, Dave couldn't convince Gu Miao. So both parties decided to give in and create a version of Superman that was a few years old.

This is considered a happy event for everyone.

In the early 2000s, at the beginning of the century, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and communication technology was still stuck at 2G and 3G.

Superman in this context can be exposed to some new things, making everyone feel that he is not so old-fashioned and behind the times.

At the same time, Superman at this point in time will not look too "fashionable" and has a retro style. After all, counting the past few years, it has been more than ten years ago.

"OK!"

Gu Miao snapped her fingers and said, "Then it's settled. Our new version of Superman was born in the 1980s, and the story mainly takes place in the early 21st century, a special period when the Internet was booming."

"I have kept this point in mind, and I must show this in the design of the scene and props."

Gu Miao said speechlessly: "I don't want to see our superman still using Mobile Phone to make calls and dressing up like an ancient person."

Be reasonable.

It’s time to change your hairstyle too!

The old Superman was good in every aspect, but Gu Miao couldn't accept his hairstyle. After all, his hairstyle was too retro and historical.

Superman in the new era should really have a straight hairstyle, instead of always wearing neatly curly hair, which gives people the feeling of being behind the times.

certainly!
