Wednesday, July 7th.

The animated "Pokémon" is still popular on the Red Crane Cartoon. As the plot gets better and better, the interactive adventure between Ash and Pikachu makes the story more and more attractive.

Ratings are rising steadily.

It is worth mentioning that, as the core male protagonist of this game, he lost to Pokémon in the "Popular Star" voting event held on Wanbao's official website.

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

That’s right!

It's understandable that Pikachu can't beat Pikachu in popularity. After all, Skin God is Skin God, and Pallas is just a false god. There is also a gap between gods.

But how come Pokémon like Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are also riding on Ash's head?

"No fair, rematch!"

Gu Miao felt that this was an insult to Xiaozhi. The dignified number one trainer in Wanbao Town and the future Pokémon master actually lost so miserably in the popularity vote?

He did not agree with this result.

All right!

Regardless of whether Gu Miao admits it or not, Xiaozhi did lose to many Pokémon in the first "Wanbao·Popular Star" voting event and ranked at the bottom.

By the way.

The so-called [Wanbao·Popular Star] voting event is actually a popularity selection created by Gu Miao with reference to Neon’s voting event.

Simple whole life!

As for the gold content, it is not without it. After all, the higher the voting ranking, it proves that the animation and the character are more popular with the audience.

But this vote contains too many "subjective" elements.

for example.

The character currently ranked number one in total votes, Big Big Wolf, comes from the animated series "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Pleasant Goat ranked 12th.

There is a huge disparity of more than 200,000 votes between the two. Can you say that the popularity gap between Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf is really that big?

I'm afraid not!

The reason why there is such a disparity in votes is that most people probably have the idea of ​​"I don't like Pleasant Goat, so I want to vote for Big Big Wolf" when they vote.

So this ranking list, to be honest, just look at it...

A character with a low ranking does not necessarily have a low popularity. Is it possible that the character is designed to be "unlovable" but is actually very popular?

In general.

As a new animation, "Pokémon" has only been aired for less than ten episodes, and its popularity has not yet reached its peak.

So in this kind of voting activity, poor performance is understandable.

After all, you have just aired and it has been finished for several years. Can you compare with your fan base?

But a vote is a vote. If it returns to the TV platform, "Pokémon" in this time period will definitely be a standout.

No pressure at all!

Before the broadcast, what Hou Bin and Ma Kui were worried about did not happen. Although the animations launched at the same time also performed well, they could hardly threaten the status of "Pokémon".

"Peacock Princess" is pretty good.

After Liang Xiaodong led his juniors to join Wanbao and established a puppet studio, "Peacock Princess" can also be regarded as an animation produced by Wanbao.

For this work, in fact, at the beginning, neither Liang Xiaodong nor Gu Miao had high hopes.

Puppet animation is so unpopular.

Although "Peacock Princess" took a year and a half to be polished, and the quality alone is indeed excellent, the subject matter is naturally limited and it is difficult to make a difference in the ratings.

The result was unexpected.

"Peacock Princess" premiered on the Southern Yunnan Children's Channel. With its novel puppet stop-motion animation, excellent finishing quality, and excellent plot, it attracted many children.

The ratings are actually pretty good?

Although it cannot beat the existence of "Pokémon", it can tie the French animation "Baba Papa" which is broadcast exclusively on CCTV at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which is already very impressive.

"What does this mean?"

Gu Miao gave a thumbs up and praised: "As long as the quality is good, what's wrong with puppet animation? Puppet animation can still be successful, no worse than other animation types."

"You're right."

Hou Bin nodded and said: "The animation industry is actually facing a group of the most realistic audience groups."

Children are very simple.

Whose work is good-looking and whose work is more attractive, then go and see whoever it is! They are also animations, and in the eyes of children there are only two situations: "good-looking" and "not good-looking".

There is no third kind!

Because of this, Hou Bin is full of admiration for "Peacock Princess"'s counterattack.

Promotion?

Damn it, uncle, Liang Xiaodong and a group of juniors are so poor that they are almost going to the streets to beg for food, how can they have the money to engage in such crooked ways?

The quality is overwhelming, the filming is beautiful, and the story is attractive. Faced with those animations that lack hard power, they will blow you away in an open and honest manner. Are you convinced?

Anyway, Hou Bin was really convinced.

We ask ourselves, although "Pokémon" now tops the ratings list and is more popular than "Peacock Princess".

But as a director, Hou Bin felt very ashamed inside.

Why?

He holds a world-renowned IP, enjoys Wanbao's resource tilt, and premieres on the Red Crane Cartoon Channel, one of the best in the country, but it is only so much higher than "Peacock Princess"?

Put yourself in someone else's shoes, if he were Liang Xiaodong...

With the millions collected by the brothers, they created the most unpopular puppet animation and premiered it on the least popular children's channel in Southern Yunnan. Can they achieve this result?

I'm afraid he can't do it.

Precisely because he knew it well, Hou Bin admired the ratings of "Peacock Princess" and recognized what Mr. Gu said.

"Hahaha!"

"'Peacock Princess' is certainly eye-catching, but we are not bad either! Let's not talk about Pokémon. All the animations we aired this year won the ratings championship of the month."

After laughing, Gu Miao motioned to his secretary to pour a cup of tea for the two of them, took a sip and said, "The popularity of the "Pokémon" animation has made Feiyang Studio famous."

"But it's not enough."

"I don't think you will forget the failure of the "Quiba" movie project, right?"

"I will never forget it in this life..."

Hou Bin lamented: "A project worth tens of millions has just been wasted. Although Xiao Xiong always doesn't say it, I know that he actually regrets it."

"There is no regret medicine in this world."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "We have talked enough about "Quiba". The main reason why I mentioned "Quiba" is to ask you a question."

"Mr. Gu, please tell me!"

"Is such that……"

Gu Miao spoke a little, then looked at Hou Bin and asked with a serious expression: "After the failure of "Quiba", do you still have confidence in animated films? Do you still have the courage to challenge this field?"

Ah this?!

Hou Bin stood up and looked at Mr. Gu blankly, not expecting this question to be asked suddenly.

What does it mean?

Could it be that the company has other animated film projects and considering that he has experience in "Quiba", is it planned to let him take over?

"calm down."

Gu Miao smiled and said: "Lightning Studio has been struggling for too long, so I arranged a task for them to produce a companion animation to "Dragon Fighter" in the second half of the year, "Light Envoy"."

Light bringer?

Isn’t this a TV animation? How does it have anything to do with the movie... Oh! Sisters of the Dragon Fighter!
Chapter completed!
