Around May last year.

Neon has appeared in several fantasy adventure animation works with the theme of "souls traveling through different worlds", all of which have achieved good results.

This directly leads to...

From last May to this year, for more than half a year, "different world travel" has become the wealth code of the ACG circle, and almost every company wants to try it.

At that time, Gu Miao was interviewed by an animation media and said with certainty: "This situation will not last long!"

As a result, he was slapped in the face.

He said that it would not last long, and that everyone would eventually return to rationality after experiencing a short period of enthusiasm. The so-called theme of time travel to another world was just a short-term prosperity in the animation industry.

But looking at it now, this evil wind of "traveling to another world" seems to be blowing stronger and stronger?

"We have to follow up..."

In an email to Seto, Gu Miao said very frankly that she still insisted on her original judgment that this was just a short-term prosperity.

But he also felt that this was a good business opportunity.

No matter how short-lived prosperity is, it is still prosperity! If you just watch others picking up money with sacks and do nothing yourself, Gu Miao feels a little wrong.

So he asked Seto to select one or two suitable works from the many toilet paper... oh no, light reading books to adapt them into animations.

Comics are fine too!

Anyway, the subject matter is suitable, and it will be ok if it can ride on the popular "different world" in the industry.

"Okay president, no problem president!"

Seto agreed readily. After receiving the email from Gu Miao, he quickly selected a few "popular" works from Neon's many toilet papers.

Gu Miao reviewed them one by one.

Finally, from the five toilet paper films submitted by Seto, I chose a light one that seemed to be "somewhat distinctive".

"It's interesting!"

This is a light novel with a different world travel theme. It mainly tells the story of a young man who is addicted to a certain online game and travels to the game world at the moment when the game is about to close its server.

As soon as Gu Miao saw the summary of this story, he immediately thought of the famous "Gu Aotian" animation in his previous life.

Both start almost the same.

It's just that Gu Aotian is in a worse situation. His soul travels through the game world and becomes a "chicken-less talk". The protagonist of this book just becomes an elf.

Unfortunately……

Although it starts with the same model as Gu Aotian, the plot of this film takes a completely different direction.

Travel through the game world and become the "first-generation elf" with a relatively transcendent identity among the elves, surrounded by a group of cute and charming elf girls.

Then, unwilling to be lonely, he went to human city-states to have adventures.

During this period, we solved some side tasks such as the civil strife in the kingdom, the assassination of the princess, the businessman's commission, the Adventurer's Guild, etc., and also met a group of beautiful human girls.

all in all.

This is a story about Long Aotian, a veteran player who relies on his understanding of the game world and his own "god-level" skills to attract girls.

To be honest, at other times, Gu Miao wouldn't even take a look at Long Aotian toilet paper like this.

But today is different from the past.

In the current animation circle, the theme of time travel from another world is rampant. Even pigs can fly if they catch the trend, not to mention that the quality of this toilet paper itself is not bad?

"That's it."

After determining the adaptation target, Gu Miao asked Seto: "By the way, ask the original author, can the title of this work be changed?"

"What's wrong? President!"

Seto wondered: "Isn't "The Starting Elf, I Was Confessed to the Elf Clan Leader" very good!"

"Well! You...forget it..."

Gu Miao wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Since you think it's appropriate, then so be it. It doesn't matter if you don't change it."

Although in his opinion, the "Flying Deer" flavor of this title is too strong.

However, considering that the neon light world basically has this naming convention, and some are even more abstract than this, he was immediately relieved.

who cares!

Anyway, this is a work designed to capitalize on the popularity of "travel to another world" and get a share of the pie. It doesn't really matter what it's called, as long as the animation is good-looking.

As for the animation, is it good or not?

Based on the quality of this light original work, combined with the animation production capabilities of Wanbao Neon Division, Gu Miao felt that there would be no problem.

The market is flooded with a large number of fake world travel animations, and the quality of some animations can only be described in two words.

Eye-catching!

Even if Wanbao can't be the best, it won't be the worst. In this kind of bad environment, failure is impossible as long as you pay a little attention.

This matter was decided so hastily.

After finishing the phone conversation with Seto, Gu Miao took a sip of water, put on her coat and took the elevator downstairs.

He is going to Wanbao Plaza.

Today is a very important day. Located in the central square of Wanbao·Pleasant Goat Paradise, the finals of [Wanbao’s First Pokémon Masters] will be held.

As a special award-presenting guest, after the finals at 2 p.m., Gu Miao will take the stage to award trophies to the "champion, second and third place" of this competition and take a group photo.

The Pokémon Masters is a "Pokémon" game competition jointly sponsored by Wanbao Animation, Wanbao Toys, Wanbao Paradise and Feiyang Real Estate.

"Pokémon" game players can obtain badges by going to major offline "Pokémon Gyms" to challenge them.

According to the competition rules.

Competitors who register for the competition must at least hold a badge from an officially certified gym. If there is no badge, they can only be "directly invited" by the event organizing committee.

This was actually Mr. Bear’s idea.

In order to attract traffic to his commercial plaza, he spent huge sums of money to sponsor this competition. At least half of the prize pool was provided by Feiyang Real Estate.

What?

You ask, what is the purpose of Little Bear always doing this?

Isn’t this obvious?

To participate in the competition, you have to challenge the "Official Wanbao" Pokémon Gym. And these gyms are basically located in the "Commercial Plaza" built by Feiyang Real Estate.

When contestants go to challenge the gym, it is equivalent to visiting a commercial shopping mall owned by Feiyang Real Estate.

Regardless of whether these people shop or not, at least the task of "draining traffic" has been achieved.

Spending several million to sponsor an event can provide your own commercial shopping center with a large number of players and passers-by. This deal is not a loss no matter how you calculate it.

certainly!

This is also considered a win-win.

Gu Miao had originally thought about holding a competition to maintain the popularity of the animation "Pokémon" before the first season was completed and the second season was aired.

It just so happened that Little Bear was always willing to provide financial sponsorship. Just like dry wood meeting fire, the two of them reached a consensus instantly and jointly contributed to the smooth holding of this [Pokémon Masters].

Registration channels are open on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Chapter completed!
