Chapter 1030 The Importance of Mecha
Funny Animation was scolded bloody.
At first, some people didn’t know that the production company of “Fruit Strike 2” had changed people, so they went to Weibo post bars and other places to criticize Wanbao Animation.
Can Gu Miao endure this injustice?
He immediately clarified, waving his hands repeatedly and saying: Don't be embarrassed! We at Wanbao have never produced animations like "Fruit Attack 2", this is all done by Funny Animation...
Now Funny Animation has become famous.
An anime that originally had no reputation or presence and had never been heard of by ordinary viewers suddenly became the target of public criticism and was scolded by angry "Fruit Attack" fans until they couldn't hold their heads up.
There are even netizens who are very capable, and through some channels, they found out that the name "Xiong Tianwei" was included in the shareholder list of Fantastic Animation.
Then, the little bear is always in trouble.
Originally, Qiqu Animation was scolded, but since it was the vest company run by Mr. Little Bear, it didn't matter to him if he couldn't be scolded.
But after the identity of the actual controller was discovered, the audience was not stupid. Combined with the "close" relationship between Mr. Xiao Xiong and Gu Miao, they quickly guessed that the culprit was Mr. Xiao Xiong.
Okay, it turns out to be your boy!
Are you still thinking about where Qiqu Animation came from? Why did the audience who got the follow-up production rights of "Fruit Strike" from Wanbao worry about having no place to vent their anger, and Little Bear always got into trouble.
"I was wronged!"
"This was all ordered by Gu Sanshui. My arms can't twist my thighs. Without his acquiescence, how could I dare to make "Fruit Attack 2"?"
Little Bear is always determined to drag Gu Miao into the water. As the saying goes, good brothers are used to block guns. How can he be scolded only by him?
Unfortunately, the audience didn't quite believe him.
In the words of a netizen, Gu Sanshui's new work "Guardian of Yangcun" and "Fruit Attack 2" were aired almost at the same time. Could it be that he also knows the magic of avatar? Can one person control two animation production teams?
It must be this uneasy and kind person named Xiong who deliberately throws dirty water on Mr. Gu. Don't believe him!
"You're going a little too far."
Little Bear was always angry, so he called and asked: "We agreed to fight against public opinion together, but when things happened, the blame fell entirely on me, right?"
"Don't be embarrassed!"
"The audience's eyes are sharp. They have all acquitted me. How can you blame me?"
Gu Miao would not admit it even if she was beaten to death.
What is "Fruit Attack 2"? I don't know, I don't understand, it has nothing to do with me!
Although before the broadcast, he knew that the results of Fruity Attack 2 would be much worse than the first season. But he really never thought about the current criticism.
Fortunately, this hot potato was left to Mr. Bear, and now he can pass the blame to him. Otherwise, if the second season was produced and released by Wanbao Animation, Gu Miao would never dare to think about the consequences.
"I knew you had no good intentions."
"Ha! Do you regret it?"
Gu Miao took a sip and said: "This is the "Fruit Attack" series. Although the results of the second season are not satisfactory, I don't believe that we didn't make any money. How dare you say this?"
This time the little bear was silent.
Gu Miao's guess was absolutely correct, although from a performance perspective, the second season of Fruity Strike was indeed far worse than the first season, and its reputation also declined seriously.
But to be honest, this is the popular "Fruit Attack" series in China. How can a sequel not make money?
It is possible that the third quarter will suffer a loss.
However, neither Mr. Xiong nor Gu Miao have many thoughts about the third season.
Gu Miao is not very interested.
But Mr. Bear feels that "Fruit Strike 2" may be the last afterglow of this series, and the third season is destined to be disappointing.
But Liang Guiliang, at least the title of the work still has the prefix "Fruit Treasure Special Attack", even if the broadcast results are poor, you can still eat as much as you can.
"Staying on our laurels?"
Hearing Mr. Bear's words, Gu Miao smiled bitterly and said, "What did you imagine "Fruit Attack" to be? Do you think the animation's capital is so rich that it can last for several seasons?"
Stop making trouble!
The audience is very realistic. The failure of the sequel of a single season may be an accident, which can also give the production team enough tolerance and allow them to make adjustments.
But if two consecutive seasons, or even multiple seasons, are lower than expected, then there will be a big problem.???
The prerequisite for gnawing at old age is that the family background is strong enough. Otherwise, why would you gnaw at old age? How can there be any old age for you to gnaw at?
Only with super popular IPs like "Pokémon" and "Dragon Ball" can there be a situation that Little Bear always imagined, that is, multiple TV sequels can make a lot of money even if they are bad.
And does Fruity Special Attack meet this standard?
Obviously it's not enough.
The failure of the second season already means that this IP is on the verge of life and death. If the third season continues, then Cheng Liuxiang, Pineapple Chuixue and Lu Xiaoguo can arrange their funeral arrangements.
…
Gu Miao expected that the second season of Fruity Attack was not successful, or that the results were unsatisfactory.
After all, the reason why he lost this IP to Mr. Bear was because he had long been mentally prepared for one season of "Fruit Strike" to be worse than the next.
But to be honest...
Gu Miao still likes the three jelly characters: Chengliuxiang, Pineapple Chuixue and Lu Xiaoguo.
Although the decline of IP is a foregone conclusion, for the sake of these three animated characters, he still wants to try his best to save it and find new opportunities.
The question is what to do?
Start with a story?
Putting aside everything else, Gu Miao still really likes the story of Guo Baosan. I feel that whether it should be changed or not is not the point, because the problem is obviously not with the plot.
Is that the setting?
If you think about it carefully, when the animation "Fruit Fruit" came out, everyone thought it was the sequel to "The Three Jelly Musketeers" and didn't pay much attention to it.
As a result, the cry of "Fruit Mecha Returns" immediately made the animation take off, becoming one of the most popular children's animations at the time...
So, what everyone likes is actually the fusion of mechas, or the cool battle between mechas and mechas?
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the influence of "The Three Jelly Musketeers" when it was first aired was completely incomparable with the later "Fruit Strike".
To put it bluntly, the main reason for the popularity of Fruit Baby Attack is mainly due to the unique Fruit Baby mecha setting at the time.
Mecha, fruit mecha...
If Gu Miao remembers correctly, it seems that in the original "Fruit Attack" series of animations, mechas such as the Orange Zhan Bao, Pineapple Zhan Bao and Xiao Guo Zhan Bao have gone through several changes in setting and styling.
change?
Let’s not talk about the pros and cons of design.
Just talking about changing the shape of the mecha, the meaning of the setting seems very unusual? Especially in the fourth season, even the name of the mecha was changed.
It can be seen that Lan Hu also seems to know the importance of Fruit Treasure Mecha, and tried many innovations and thought of many ideas in the process of making the sequel.
This also inspired Gu Miao.
Anyway, it’s like this, why not give the children a wonderful life that either makes their eyes light up or makes them dark?
Chapter completed!
