Chapter 23 Corporate Framework

 The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed.

In order to facilitate management, Gu Miao established Jiangchuan Wanbao Group, which has three subsidiaries: Wanbao Toys, Wanbao Animation and Wanbao Comics.

Wanbao is the abbreviation of "Wanzhibao".

Wanbao Toys is the previously acquired Wanzhibao Toys. Wanbao Animation is the changed name of Wolfsburg Animation.

The original "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" production team was incorporated into Wolfsburg Studio, a subsidiary of Wanbao Animation, to independently produce and operate the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animation series.

this way……

It is not only convenient for management, but also beneficial to the development of the company. When producing new animation works in the future, just set up another studio.

Similar three-tier architectures are common.

For example, Tencent Group has its subsidiary Tencent Games. Tencent Games also has independent studios such as Tianmei and Photonics.

Of course, a frame is a frame.

Although the current Wanbao Group sounds quite large, apart from Wolfsburg Studio, it only has a toy factory in the suburbs.

As for Wanbao Comics?

This is a shell company!

Originally, Gu Miao planned to convert the TV animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" into comics, and then create a monthly magazine similar to "Zhiyin Manke" to test the comics market.

However, the review process is too long.

According to information obtained by Director Wang, a similar review of publishing qualifications, even if it is given a green light, will take at least four months to produce the results.

Then just wait slowly.

After adjusting the company's management structure, Gu Miao also promoted a round of promotions for his close confidants.

For example, Ma Kui is now the vice president of Wanbao Group and general manager of Wanbao Animation.

Known as "Vice President Ma"!

It sounds pretty nice, but the actual work is still the same as before, and even the salary has not been increased.

Huang Kun, the former deputy director and animation supervisor of the Pleasant Goat production team, was promoted to the content director of Wanbao Animation.

Although Director Huang's title is not as smooth as Ma Kui's "Vice President", in fact, he is Gu Miao's most trusted confidant.

What should I say...

Although Ma Kui is an animation major, his talent seems to be skewed. He is not very good at animation, but he is a first-class expert in administrative management and flattering his boss.

If he doesn't get promoted, who will get promoted?

Compared with Ma Kui's "not doing his job properly", Huang Kun is much more professional as an animation director.

Gu Miao is very busy.

Although he holds the title of "chief director", in fact, apart from participating in the animation production in the early stage, he basically did not interfere with the production team in the later stage.

As the animation production of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is on track, he has left many matters to Huang Kun to take care of.

To put it bluntly!

Without Huang Kun's seriousness and responsibility, there would be no such popular animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". He is the true chief director.

Gu Miao is very optimistic about him.

After the production of Pleasant Goat animation comes to an end, he plans to let Huang Kun lead the team to produce an animation alone, and slowly cultivate a great director in the company.

Cultivate it!

It's quite exciting when I think about it.



"Oh my god!!!"

"[Pouting][Love]"

Gu Miao, who was instructing the original artist to draw the first version of the character image of "Chasing Superman", suddenly received a chat message from Director Wang.

Pleasant Goat breaks the record again!

The previous ratings broke through 10 points, which shocked the industry and amazed countless people. Now the record has been raised again, with the highest ratings of episode 211 reaching 15.01%!

This time, it’s not just the animation circle.

Even the people who make live-action TV series and movies next door were stunned when they received this news, which is enough to see how amazing the ratings are.

How outrageous?

A few decades ago, this rating would have made it into the top five TV programs and ranked first in the animation category.

It can be said that this is the animation with the highest ratings and the most influence in the past ten years, if not one of them.

No wonder Director Wang is so excited.

"Calm down."

Gu Miao replied: "What the hell! Do you still remember what I said? The ratings potential of Pleasant Goat is far more than this."

15% is very high.

But it is still a little short of draining the viewership potential. The original Pleasant Goat almost surpassed the animated program of "Lianbo News".

"What's the meaning?"

"Do you think Pleasant Goat's ratings may continue to rise?" Director Wang asked in disbelief.

How can this be!

15% is such an astonishing figure. In the TV industry, it has been a truly hegemonic masterpiece for ten years. If it is higher than this, then the viewership share must exceed 80%, right?

Of the ten TVs that are on, at least eight are playing Pleasant Goat?

That's outrageous.

It’s not that he’s timid, it’s that he really doesn’t believe that an animation can achieve such a high level of achievement. This is not the 1980s and 1990s when programs were scarce, but a new era with the proliferation of television and the rise of the Internet.

"It's not a possibility, it's a necessity."

Gu Miao knew what Director Wang was thinking and explained to him: "The peak of Pleasant Goat's ratings should be after the broadcast of "Odd World Battle"."

Breaking through 20% is a bit difficult.

But 17% and 18% can still be fought for. After all, the quality of the special episode in the weird and weird world is excellent, and the ratings cannot be lower than now.

"Then here's the problem."

"October is coming soon, are you finished with the weird world? [Curious]"

Gu Miao: "..."

He also wanted to finish it as soon as possible, but reality did not allow it!

"Odd World War" has a total of 60 episodes and nearly 1,000 minutes of filming. You can imagine the workload.

Compared with the first 280 episodes of the animation, the special episodes of the weird world of episodes 281-340 have been greatly improved in both the painting quality and the performance effects.

what does that mean?

On the premise of improving the animation quality, the production progress has been accelerated in an instant. Let alone ten episodes a day, two episodes a day would be good.

Starting from mid-September, the first episode of the special episode "Braving the Weird World", a total of 40 episodes were produced in 20 days.

The current plot is roughly the stage where Big Big Wolf and the lambs return to the Qingqing Grassland. Worried about the safety of Brother Xiaosha and Dandan, the lambs decide to return to the underground world.

After that, the bright props were destroyed, Brother Xiaosha merged with Dandan, and transformed into "Chicago Superman" in an attempt to influence Marshal Hei. As a result, the ending of "Big Big Wolf King" was accidentally created.

Speaking of which...

As the core thread throughout "Odd World War", the bright prop is actually Nima's "shower"?

“Original power is really good at playing!”

After once again lamenting the strange brain circuits of Original Power, Gu Miao fell into deep thought.

How to design a shower head as a toy?

Compared to the various bizarre inventions of Big Gray Wolf in the main story, there are not many props in the special episode of Weird World.

The ones that can be sold as toys include anionic and cationic balls, bright props, handsome black guy and Dandan.

If the light prop is a shower, can it be made into a "water gun"?
Chapter completed!
