Chapter 1062 Is he really a genius?

Starting from the earliest "Pig Man", "Pig Man" has always been the most popular animated series in China.

The peak popularity is not inferior to that of Digimon and the Magic Weapon Boy.

As of this summer, the Pigman series has produced and broadcast five TV animations. The latest season is "Fairy Tales in the World of Building Blocks" based on the classic stories of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales"

》.

This season's performance was okay.

After being aired on the TV platform, although it was not as popular as the previous seasons, it was loved by countless children and the ratings were very high.

No matter how you look at it, the development prospects of this series are broader than that of "Fruit Attack", and the future is also brighter.

If you can’t make Fruit 3, then you can make Pig Man 6!

Little Bear is always very excited.

After silently weighing the value and weight of the two IPs in his mind, he nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

He was even worried that Gu Miao would go back on his word. He didn't even give him a chance to speak, and signed the agreement of intent without delay. His decisiveness surprised others.

"Mr. Gu, do you really want Qiqu Animation to produce the sixth season of "Pig Man"?"

After seeing off the cheerful Mr. Bear, while waiting for the elevator to go down, Lao Zhang asked with some confusion: "If I remember correctly, Pig Man is quite popular, right?"

"It's really hot."

Gu Miao admitted: "This series has always been very popular. It is considered an evergreen IP of our Wanbao."

"Then why..."

"There is no reason. If you have to ask, my answer is that this series is in its sixth year."

When the elevator arrived, Gu Miao stepped into the elevator, pressed the button representing the 7th floor, and then explained to Lao Zhang: "It's very lucky for an animation to be popular for five years."

"But this kind of luck cannot last indefinitely. It will eventually end."

"You mean, the "Pig Man" series is going to go downhill?" Lao Zhang heard the implication and frowned.

"It's not that it's starting to go downhill, but it's already on the way downhill."

The elevator installed in the Wanbao headquarters building is very fast. In just a few words, we reached the seventh floor.

The two of them walked out of the elevator one after another. In the corridor leading to the office area, Gu Miao said solemnly: "Although "Fairy Tales in the World of Blocks" has performed very well, it has lost a lot of its core old audience."

This problem is different from Pleasant Goat.

The loss of Pleasant Goat's audience is largely due to the fact that the old audiences have grown up and have passed the childish age of watching cartoons.

The main reason for the loss of viewers of the Pig Man series is that the style has changed too much, which has caused many old viewers to feel that the animation has changed and is not as good as before...

To put it bluntly.

The animation of Pigman will change its style every season and tell a completely new story. The animations in different periods are not very related.

for example.

In the first season, Pig Man was still telling a cliché adventure story of "The Dragon Quest, the Knight Saves the Princess", but in the second season, he traveled to the island of Olympus and started various sports competitions.

By the fifth season, the plot is directly adapted from fairy tales, and even the familiar characters have become fairy tale characters such as Snow White, Cinderella, Prince Charming, and Little Red Riding Hood.

Not only that.

Starting from this season, even the style of Pig Man has changed, becoming more cute and fresh.

The advantage of such an animated series is that each season tells an unexpected story, but the disadvantage is that it lacks continuity and coherence.

Take Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf as an example.

For viewers who have watched the first season of Pleasant Goat, will the third season feel strange when they watch the second season?

Won't!

Because the story background and character settings of Pleasant Goat are all the same, and even the plot timelines are connected together, how can the audience feel strange?

However, every season of the Pig Man animation not only changes the story background, but also the character design and style. This is not friendly to old viewers, because they will feel strange every time they watch it.

I just remembered the martial arts version of GG Bond, but then you created a science fiction version of GG Bond? Okay! Just after getting to know the science fiction version of GG Bond, the fairy tale version of GG Bond appeared?

The novel, imaginative and humorous plot were once the shining points of the "Pig Man" series.

But as time goes by, especially when the production team's creativity is running out and they are unable to produce something good that will impress the audience, what was once a shining point will turn into a fatal flaw.

"Don't look at the fact that the "Pig Man" series is very popular now, but that's just a throwback to the past."

"The production team is no longer able to do anything, and innovation is weak and inspiration has dried up. It would be a good thing to leave it to Fantastic Animation at this time. After all, if we change the production team, maybe we can do a great job?"

"So that's it..."

Lao Zhang was quite shocked when he suddenly learned the inside information about the production team of "Pig Man", especially the fact that he was running out of ideas.

Are you running out of inspiration?

No way!

The Pigman series is only the fifth TV animation. In terms of the number of sequels, it is not worthy of being a shoe-in for the Pleasant Goat series.

Why is it that the Pleasant Goat series is still being reworked continuously, but the Pigman series cannot be reworked, and the production team is simply failing?

“Is five works a small number?”

"There are more than 400 episodes in total. Based on a 20-minute episode, that's 8,000 minutes!"

Gu Miao complained: "Not to mention that Pig Man will change the story background and character settings every season. The lines and plots are so imaginative that anyone else would have run out of inspiration..."

You can’t compare with Pleasant Goat!

Although there are many sequels to Pleasant Goat, except for "Guardian of Yangcun", the story background and character settings have basically not changed much.

Even for the Guardian of Yangcun, the story background and character settings have not changed, only some details have changed.

So this is incomparable to the animation of Pig Man, a sequel with a completely new setting system and several different versions of the protagonist.

It's normal to run out of inspiration.

Over 8,000 minutes of animation creation, several story backgrounds and setting systems, the production team members didn’t know how much hair they lost.

If it is not transferred to the outsourcing team, it will only get worse and worse until it becomes a piece of cake and is completely abandoned by the audience.

In fact, hiring an outsourcing team to produce animations like "Pig Man" is a good choice. After all, the Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang!

certainly.

You also have to keep your eyes open when choosing an outsourced production team. If you encounter a situation like "Date Live 2", it would be too miserable.

Fortunately, Gu Miao chose Funny Animation for the sixth season of "Pig Man". With the support of Mr. Bear, a big boss, at least there will be no embarrassing incident where the animation company suddenly goes bankrupt halfway through the animation.

…

Domestic animation in September is led by "Wandering Animation World"!

Penguin's "The Devil" and "Welcome to the Fist-First Technical Secondary School Classroom" introduced by Thunderbolt have both started broadcasting.

But obviously, in front of the world's only true infinite moving picture, these two animations failed to make much waves.

The Wandering Animation World has aired to its 12th episode, and the plot has come to the end of the world of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

After Xiao Wanbao's unremitting efforts, Big Gray Wolf and Red Wolf finally moved to Qingqing Grassland and began their great business of catching sheep.

“Come back often~”

"Xiao Wanbao, after I catch the lamb, I will definitely ask you to come for a lamb feast!"

"Really? Uncle Big Wolf!"

"Of course it's true. When has my Majesty ever deceived you? Don't worry, I'll have enough mutton by then..."

With the warm farewell of Big Big Wolf and his wife, Little Wanbao left the Qingqing Grassland and left this endless animation world of wolves catching sheep.

Regarding this episode, the most difficult thing for the audience was Big Wolf’s promise to invite Little Wanbao to have a mutton feast together.

Good guy!

Once this kind of Flag is spoken, Big Big Wolf will never catch a sheep in this life. As for agreeing to Xiao Wanbao's mutton feast?

Definitely next time! Definitely next time!

Xiao Wanbao, who left Qingqing Grassland, returned home again, and the animated elf came back with her.

The lucky draw wheel starts!

After Xiao Wanbao completed the task, he actually got the unique skill of Red Wolf's "Infinite Pan", and the audience burst into laughter and patted their bellies.

Okay, okay, Xiao Wanbao learned the most powerful and perverted move in the world of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

With this trick at hand, even if she travels to a scary world like "Dragon Ball", she won't be afraid of being bullied.

only……

The appearance of a seven-year-old cute baby holding a pan is indeed very funny and full of comedy.

Everyone was not kept waiting for too long. After a short break, Xiao Wanbao, urged by the animation wizard, once again embarked on a journey to save the animation world.
