The time comes to the end of September.

As we all know, September to December every year has always been the peak period for major awards activities. It is not only the awards season for the entertainment industry, but also the awards season for all walks of life.

The animation industry is no exception.

With the arrival of this year's awards season, the popularity of an animation work that has been completed long ago and has gradually faded away from the public eye is quietly picking up.

"The Story of Afanti"!

It is based on folklore from the Western Regions, adapted and performed using puppet animation, and is jointly created by Wanbao Animation and China Overseas Film Studio.

Although it couldn't be said to be very popular when it was aired, at least it was not as good as the popular "Fruit Attack", or "Yu-Gi-Oh!" which just ended its first round of broadcasting not long ago.

But the nature of this animation has already determined that it will be the most important contestant during this year’s awards season.

Not even one!

Although colleagues in the industry are speechless, they really cannot find any TV animation work that can compete with "Afanti's Story" during this year's awards season.

All I can say is, there is no suspense.

The subject matter has great advantages...

This advantage has become so great that no matter how well the other animation works are shot and how brilliant the results are, it is impossible to close the gap.

Maybe that's why.

During this year’s awards season, except for Gu Miao, Liang Xiaodong and others who were very interested, other people in the industry expressed disinterest.

Don't ask why!

The question is... Watching Gu Sanshui win the award is more uncomfortable than everyone else's nomination and failure!

One after another, trophies and award certificates were taken home by the puppet studio led by Liang Xiaodong and put into the honor display cabinet built by Mr. Gu who "spent huge sums of money".

It was also at this time that Gu Miao suddenly realized a problem.

It’s conservative!

When I customized the glass display cabinet, I should have customized a larger display cabinet. The current glass cabinet still feels too small, and it will probably be filled with trophies and certificates soon.

"I regret it, I really regret it!"

"How much do you think a glass cabinet is worth? It's not much less, so why didn't I make it bigger?"

In front of Mr. Xiong, Gu Miao said very Versailles: "What will we do when there is no place to put the trophies? How about this, I divide a few trophies and put them in your office?"

Mr. Bear: "..."

So angry!

Why is this person so irritating when he talks? Isn’t it just that he has won a few bad prizes? Who really cares?

After silently despising Gu Miao in his heart, Little Bear interrupted Gu Miao's Versailles quotation: "Okay, okay, don't show off like this."

"You must have remembered what you told me back then, right? You asked me to select a few works for adaptation on the Bibi Comics platform..."

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten."

Gu Miao asked curiously: "What's wrong? You picked it up so quickly? Tell me, what works did you pick?"

Both Android and Apple are available.]

Little Bear always comes up with a list.

Reaching out to take the thin list, Gu Miao picked it up and took a look. She was immediately frightened by the way Little Bear selected the works.

I saw the names of three comic series written on the list.

One of them is "The Tomb Robbers Family", a pioneer of the "Tomb Robbers" genre that has been popular on the Bibi comic platform for nearly half a year.

As for the second and third parts, they come from the same comic book author. At first, Gu Miao didn't recognize who it was until he saw the two titles "Super Detective Doyle" and "Detective Conan".

Blanch!

Are you so ruthless?

On the Bip Comics platform, there are only a few online comics with "high potential for adaptation", and they were all picked up by Mr. Bear.

Give it all to Mr. Bear, will Wanbao Animation still survive?

"No, no!"

On the name of the work "Detective Conan", he made a cross with a large pen. Gu Miao shook her head crazily and said: "I can't give this to you. This is the IP I keep for Wanbao to shoot myself."

Just kidding?

When the original author was still serializing "Detective Doyle", Gu Miao got in touch with him and booked an adaptation plan for his next work, "Detective Conan".

Gu Miao has been keeping an eye on him for a long time.

The reason why "Detective Conan" has already begun to be serialized but Wanbao Animation has not yet taken action is simply because it feels that the time is not yet ripe.

He plans to wait until the manga "Detective Conan" is serialized for a few more chapters, at least dozens of chapters, before he considers turning it into an anime.

So this is not negotiable.

The potential of "Detective Conan" lies here, and no matter what he says, Gu Miao will never give up. This has nothing to do with making money or not, it is mainly a question of "expanding influence."

Everyone knows the three major “migrant workers comics”.

Bleach Naruto Pirates, also collectively known as the "Sea of ​​Death Fire", was a well-known anime IP in its previous life.

But "Sea of ​​Dead Fire" is not invincible. Whether at that time or later, Neon was as popular as the three major migrant comics, including "Detective Conan".

Although "Sailor Moon" and "Doraemon" are not included in the ranks of "migrant comics", their influence is still not inferior to that of migrant comics, or even slightly surpasses them.

What?

Why is there no "Dragon Ball"?

Don't make trouble, Dragon Ball is no longer on the same level as these works. It's hard to say animation, at least in the field of comics, Dragon Ball is a god-like existence.

all in all.

Whether it is for "Death Schoolboy" or to expand Wanbao's influence, Gu Miao will never let go of the comic "Detective Conan".

Mr. Xiong probably didn’t expect that Gu Miao would value this comic so highly and have such a firm attitude...

But he didn't care either.

In the list he listed, the comic "Detective Conan" was serialized the latest, is the shortest and the least popular, and is not his main goal.

If Gu Miao doesn't agree, forget it.

Anyway, what he wanted most was always the rights to adapt the animation called "Tomb Robbers".

"no problem."

Although Gu Miao is very interested in tomb robbing and comics, she doesn't take them very seriously.

Little Bear is always willing to take it, so give it to him!

It's just a comic that became popular because of its "novel subject matter." To be honest, there's a question mark over how many years this subject matter will remain popular.

The same goes for Super Detective Doyle.

Except for "Detective Conan", which was not subject to negotiation, Gu Miao readily agreed to the plan to sell the animation adaptation rights of the remaining two comic works to "Weixin Venture Capital".

Oh yes!

Weixin Venture Capital is the vest investment company opened by Mr. Xiao Xiong, and its name comes from his and his wife’s names.

The main business is to purchase the adaptation copyrights of major popular IPs, then entrust them to third parties for production, and then make profits by selling animation broadcast rights and derivatives development rights.

to be honest.

An intermediary in the animation industry.

Don't look at Xiaoxiong Zongzong who bought the comic rights, but he doesn't know how to make animations and will only find third parties to cooperate.

This is completely different from the Feiyang animation he did before. Although they are both involved in the animation industry, the nature is completely different.
Chapter completed!
