"The evil witch in the dark kingdom and the beautiful warrior warrior Ariel are about to collide head-on~! What kind of secrets are hidden between the mysterious fortune teller and the students who have changed their temperaments..."

"Please look forward to the second episode of "Sailor Moon" at 6 o'clock tonight: Wake up! The fortune telling shop is the house of monsters!"

"Fighter of love and justice, enter Sailor Moon!"

The narration of the second episode is very passionate.

But Gu Miao always feels...

Could this kind of passion be used in the wrong place? Just listening to the narration and dubbing without looking at the picture, he thought he was watching "One Piece" or "Naruto".

All I can say is that it is indeed neon!

They can always pronounce all kinds of embarrassing lines in a serious manner, which makes people wonder, are we watching the same animation?

Maybe this is a cultural difference.

Compared with this painful "Second Announcement", what deserves his attention more is the ratings of the second episode.

It’s up another two points!

There is no doubt that this is definitely good news. The ratings of the second episode have increased significantly. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Sailor Moon" definitely has the potential to "dominate the screen" as a new episode.

Why potential? Not strength?

Of course because...

Among the animations that were launched in December, there is also a "mecha" themed work adapted from the comic book of the same name, which also has high ratings.

According to Seto.

The animation called "Mecha High School Student" is adapted from Neon's most popular comic series this year, and it has attracted the attention of a large number of fans before it even started airing.

The starting point is different.

"Sailor Moon", as an original animation that is neither an adaptation nor a sequel, has only aired two episodes. How can it close such a big gap in the early stage?

but……

Being ahead for a while does not mean being ahead forever.

Judging from the performance of the first two episodes, the anime "Sailor Moon" has great potential for ratings and has received rave reviews from the audience. All it lacks now is time to accumulate.

Because I can’t read neon text.

Therefore, in terms of "word of mouth" from the audience, Seto basically collected reviews of the dramas, compiled them into work emails, and sent them to Gu Miao.

Seto is pretty reliable at work.

He did not report good news but not bad news just to please Gu Miao. In addition to positive comments of praise, the email also contained some negative comments.

The proportion of negative reviews is not high.

Most of them are empty talk that means nothing, and are just nit-picking. They are just embarrassing and unworthy of attention.

However, among the positive comments, there were remarks that surprised Gu Miao.

"Anime heroes on TV are finally no longer limited to male characters! Girls can also use their own power to slay demons and protect the people around them..."

"Compared to those princesses who are very sick and just wait for the prince to save them when they encounter difficulties, the little rabbit is really great!"

"Who says women are weak?"

It is not difficult to see that these comments are basically from female viewers, and their praise of "Sailor Moon" also gave Gu Miao a hint of "feminism".

Don't think...

If neon "macho chauvinism" prevails, men make money to support the family, and women cook and raise children become mainstream values, then feminism will not be born.

In fact, it was the old almanac.

Since the neon bubble economy burst, many women have stepped out of the family and begun to work in society. With the increase in personal income, social status has long been different from before.

fortunately!

Compared with the original comic by Naoko Takeuchi, the old version of "Sailor Moon" animation not only added a lot of Mary Sue elements, but also added timid and nonsensical elements to the protagonist's character. Many deep-seated feminist "ideological core" was not obtained.

reflect.

Otherwise, Gu Miao would have to worry about whether public opinion will still be so "friendly" after the animation is broadcast.

It's not that the original comic is bad.

It's just that you can't take too big a step at a time. Directly making "Sailor Moon Crystal" close to the original manga may be counterproductive.

After all...he is not Naoko Takeuchi.

Naoko Takeuchi is a woman and a native "neon person". She wants to change the status quo that women in animation works are weak, so that the audience can understand and accept it.

But Gu Miao is a foreigner...

This is very embarrassing.

As a crooked nut, talking about "sensitive" topics like women's rights on other people's territory can easily arouse suspicion or even rejection.

A complete minefield.

Therefore, Gu Miao was very cautious about this, and he asked the production team not to respond whether it was a negative review or a positive review.

Just keep doing animation.

As for how the audience will interpret this work, that is the audience's business, and the production team cannot and cannot control it.

…

The 35th Golden Bird Awards Ceremony was held as scheduled. Amid applause, Gu Miao took the stage to receive the "Best TV Animation of the Year" trophy.

All I can say is that it is well deserved.

Looking back on the past year, among TV animation programs, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was completely crushed.

Until now, Pleasant Goat, which has been replayed several times, can still achieve the highest ratings of more than 10 points. Such an amazing performance has made the entire industry silent.

It’s so outrageous!

More than a month has passed since the first round of Pleasant Goat was broadcast.

Originally, everyone was gearing up to release their new works one after another, preparing to seize the viewership share vacated by Pleasant Goat and make a big splash before the end of the year.

result……

They were all fucked up!

It’s okay to be beaten by Pleasant Goat who was broadcast in the first round. They can even beat Pleasant Goat in the second round or even the third round of replay. How can this be fun?

No gaming experience, report!

Not to mention the scolding colleagues, Gu Miao also met an "old acquaintance" at this award ceremony.

"Mr. Du?!"

The moment she saw Du Hao, Gu Miao asked in surprise, "Aren't you filming a movie? Why are you here?"

"Stop by and have a look."

Du Hao waved his hand and said, "Also, don't call me Mr. Du, call me Director Du!"

Okay, Mr. Du!

It was rare to meet an acquaintance who was from Jiangchuan. After the award ceremony, Gu Miao warmly invited Du Hao to have dinner.

Unfortunately, it was rejected.

It wasn't that Du Hao didn't show respect, but that he made appointments with several distribution companies at night to discuss some matters regarding film distribution, but he couldn't get away from it at all.

"So fast?"

After watching Du Hao leave, Gu Miao took out her mobile phone and searched online for reports about the movie "Fall of the Stars".

"Domestic science fiction masterpiece!"

"After ten years of hard work, new directors will usher in the era of domestic science fiction blockbusters..."

There are many miscellaneous reports.

Most of them were embarrassing comments from self-media editors. Gu Miao glanced at them and quickly captured a key piece of information.

"New Year's Day" is released!

It's mid-December now, less than two months before the Lunar New Year. And if he remembers correctly, "Starfall" seems to have been launched in October.

Ah this...
Chapter completed!
