Wanbao Animation also has advertising business.

This section is mainly divided into two parts. One part is "advertising placement", which means adding the product specified by the advertiser in the animated feature film and giving a close-up shot.

The other part is to let its animated characters go out for business and accept image endorsements, product promotions and other business cooperation like "virtual idols".

Advertising placement is mainly concentrated in the work "Raising the Lightning". "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" does not have advertising placement due to the story background and other reasons.

But Pleasant Goat receives a lot of endorsements.

Not long ago, a children's playground in Jiangchuan came to Wanbao Animation to discuss advertising cooperation, hoping to use the two characters "Pleasant Goat" and "Big Big Wolf" as the spokesperson for their playground...

Unfortunately, their bid was too low.

Although the price of the anime character "Qiafan" is not as outrageous as that of real celebrities, Pleasant Goat's ratings and popularity are so high, do you want to get it for just 10,000 yuan?

Gu Miao almost had her nose twisted with anger.

If Ma Kui hadn't stopped him, the owner of the amusement park would have been turned into a corpse and sunk to the bottom of the river to feed the fish.

It can only be said that the legal society saved him.

As time enters December, the animation "Pig Man: The Magical Pig Age" has finally passed the preparatory stage of "planning draft → text and shot script creation → art design".

The project has officially moved into mid-production.

Although the project was born later, the progress has surpassed that of Neon Division's "Sailor Moon".

Gu Miao could understand this.

The production standards of the two are not at the same level at all. Compared with anything else, Pigman will definitely win in terms of "production progress".

Although "Sailor Moon" has also entered the mid-production stage, the progress is indeed a bit slow. In one week, it was barely able to produce a 35-minute film.

According to neon animation, an episode is generally 24 minutes long, minus the opening and ending credits...

Approximately 1.5 episodes are produced per week.

The reason why the progress is so slow is not that Gu Miao was given less money. A single episode cost 15 million yen, which is equivalent to a full budget of 800,000 RMB. To be honest, it is already quite high.

The main reason is manpower, which slows down the progress.

Although the Wanbao Neon Division acquired three animation companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, the actual number of employees is only about 120.

How can these few people be enough...

Excluding the poor production team of "one person original painting", for a more serious production team, it is not too much to have 10-20 original painting artists, right?

It takes 10 people to paint the background, right?

Although the requirements for animators and colorists are not that high and the work content is highly repetitive, they cannot handle the heavy workload. Is it normal to have more than 100 people?

Judging from the photography, editing, music, as well as the painting supervisor, director and script writer that must be set up in order to unify the style of the work, the 120 people in the Neon Division are indeed somewhat stretched.

fortunately!

The neon animation industry has developed outsourcing, such as music, coloring and other aspects. You can hire an outsourcing team to participate, saving a lot of manpower.

"35 minutes a week is enough."

Seto, the new head of the Neon Division and the production supervisor of the anime "Sailor Moon" said with a smile: "According to the schedule arranged by TBS, we can have three episodes of the film by the time it is broadcast."

"oh?"

Gu Miao asked curiously: "What schedule is TBS scheduled for? Isn't it going to be another disgusting hot day?"

He is almost sick to death from TBS.

When Pleasant Goat first introduced Neon, TBS gave it the "Hot 8" slot, which was broadcast at 8pm on Thursday evenings.

At that time, he didn't know much about the neon TV industry and didn't know what this schedule meant. He thought it was a pretty good prime time slot.

It wasn't until Mr. Ikeda, a mole of TBS who did not want to be named, told him that the popular 8-minute show had been dominated by "housewife dramas" with extremely high ratings for two years that he understood TBS's sinister intentions.

Gu Sanshui?

Just superficial brothers!

Gu Miao, who was put on the spot, has already been blacklisted by TBS. If TBS still hates him when "Sailor Moon" is broadcast this time, then don't blame him for falling out.

Today is different from the past!

In the past, he had no connections or channels, so he could not break into the neon market, so he just tolerated it. Now his wings are strong, and superficial brothers like TBS will break up if they break up.

Anyway, he still has a spare tire.

"It's not a fire sun, it's a earth sun."

Seto said with a smile: "As a new program in December this year, TBS will broadcast the anime "Sailor Moon" at 6 pm on Tuesday."

Earth Sunday?

That's Saturday, not bad.

It’s not a disgusting hot sunday, nor is it a late-night slot. The 6pm slot on Saturday night can already be called a prime slot.

Gu Miao was quite satisfied.

As far as he knows, there should be no "hot animations" or "hot TV series" broadcast on Tuesday. This means that there is very little competition pressure for ratings.

It will be broadcast in the first week of December.

Gu Miao made some calculations, and the little rabbit met the black cat Luna, and then the little rabbit entered the center of the dark kingdom, awakened the controlled Wei, and used the power of the silver crystal to defeat Queen Metalia. The old version of the first season animation was also

Just 46 episodes.

Year?

Roughly the same!

Based on the progress of producing and broadcasting one episode per week, 46 episodes can be broadcast for almost 11 months.

Although it is not as good as "Doraemon" or "Detective Conan" and other extremely long "The animation you are following has been updated", it is not less.

After all, this is the first one.

After the completion of "Sailor Moon" in 1992, the orthodox sequel Sailor Moon R was released the next year, and later Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon SuperS and Sailor Stars.

There are almost 200 episodes in total.

anyway……

Regarding the naming method of the sequels of R, S, SS and Sailor Stars, it is similar to the naming of Max, Pro, Plus and other models of digital products.

But that's not the point.

From the first Sailor Moon to Sailor Stars, these five works can actually be regarded as "the same work".

The true "sequel" or "innovation" has to be Sailor Moon Crystal after many years.

Of course, it's still early for Crystal.

Today is already Tuesday, and there are still four days left before the premiere of the anime "Sailor Moon". Instead of thinking about what is there and what is not, why not think about why the animation promotion PV has not been cut out yet?

Gu Miao really couldn't stand it any longer.

Practicing for a season...oh no, is it that difficult to edit a PV every week?

The PV is cut like shit. After being scolded by him, he can only say "okok". Is this attitude okay?

Really too lazy.

They probably felt that the supervisor was far away at the Jiangchuan headquarters and had no control over Neon's animation production team, so that's why they were so lazy.

At this time.

As a supervisor, Gu Miao must show her dignity and do something that has never been done before and is very radical...
Chapter completed!
