The time has come to the end of January.

As New Year's Eve approaches, major enterprises and institutions are also taking holidays one after another.

But Gu Miao didn't take a vacation.

Don't get me wrong, the so-called "no vacation" means that he himself did not have a vacation. The employees must have gone home for the New Year holiday.

The reason why Gu Miao didn't take a vacation was mainly because during the Spring Festival, Wanbao Animation would have many new works about to be broadcast. As a boss, of course he had to stick to his job and keep paying attention.

The first to arrive is the second season of the well-known mystery anime "Detective Conan" TV animation!

This season is mostly original.

When the first season of the animation was produced, the progress had already caught up with the comic version of "Detective Conan" that was being serialized. For this reason, Guo Hongwei also created some original stories to make up the number of episodes.

By the second season, the animation production progress has not only caught up with the comics, but has even surpassed the comics.

There are more than 100 episodes of animation in total, of which only more than 70 episodes are adapted from the original comics, and the last 30 episodes are fully original series by the animation production team.

Whose problem?

Of course it’s Mr. Aoyama!

Who told this guy to not be serious and hard-working enough about comic creation after he achieved financial freedom, but he often took advantage of the situation and became addicted to procrastination?

To be honest, Gu Miao was quite speechless.

As a professional cartoonist, with the help of several assistants, he only handed over the manuscripts of a dozen chapters in half a year. How did he do it when he was so lazy?

By the way.

Teacher Liu Qingshan likes fishing very much. As far as Gu Miao knows, whenever he has free time, he will go fishing and fish all day long.

As a result, in the face of countless readers' reminders and questions, he shamelessly complained on social platforms: "It is too difficult to create mystery comics! In order to conceive a piece of fiction, I often suffer from insomnia and anxiety..."

Insomnia, right?

Anxiety disorder, right?

If he doesn't go fishing less, wouldn't he have more time to come up with pieces? Or does his so-called creative inspiration actually come from ponds and reservoirs?

The original author of the comic did not do anything but fish all day long. The animation production team had no choice but to create an original story by themselves.

"Wow! Your original pieces are so great, I want to add them to the new comic volume!" Teacher Aoyama said while fishing by the reservoir.

Take a look, who are these people?

He was lazy and didn't draw comics. Instead, he borrowed original plots from other animation production teams and added them to the next comics. He took all the advantages.

Gu Miao was already angry.

He gave Mr. Aoyama an ultimatum. If the comic version of "Detective Conan" still does not meet the target number of chapters released within this year, then he will destroy all the fishing gear and withhold a certain percentage of the royalties.

"Don't worry, it will be completed!"

Gu Miao didn't know whether Teacher Qingshan would change his ways, but he did try his best to persuade him.

If you don't change it, there's nothing you can do about it. Just update it slowly. If you can't finish "Detective Conan" in ten years, then it will take twenty years. If you finish it in thirty years, it's just a matter of waiting for more time.

…

The second season of "Detective Conan" did not explode in public opinion and gain massive popularity like other animations.

Instead, it was a bit calm?

Gu Miao guessed that viewers who like this type of mystery animation are relatively calm and patient, and would not yell for an animation.

Moreover, the animation episodes that have been aired are basically adapted from the original comics. There are no particularly big surprises. The viewers who should have seen it have already seen it.

That's why it's so peaceful.

But calm does not mean ordinary. As an orthodox sequel to a super-popular mystery animation, the second season of "Detective Conan" has had frighteningly high ratings since it was aired.

All I can say is that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

Animations that are very noisy on the Internet and are full of topics may not necessarily have high ratings/viewing volume...

If you look at the second season of "Detective Conan", it is very ordinary. There is not much popularity or topicality on the Internet, but the ratings for the premiere are particularly high.

"Dragon Ball Z", which is also a sequel to the hit anime like Detective Conan Season 2, had a completely opposite performance in its premiere. The noise caused by the neon lights was comparable to that of a tsunami.

Dragon Ball is like this...

If it had been the premiere of another animation, it probably wouldn't have caused such a big fuss, let alone attracted so many people's attention.

But this is "Dragon Ball", the orthodox sequel to that super-popular work, and a TV animation of the same name adapted from the national-level Neon comic.

Popular?

No, no, no! This is no longer a huge hit, but a puzzling craze.

Before TBS broadcast "Dragon Ball Z" on Fire Day, it produced a special program called "The World's No. 1 Budokai".

The main content of this program is to let "Dragon Ball fans" from all walks of life cosplay the characters in the animation, and then hold a unique indoor game competition.

The original intention of the TV station is simple.

"Dragon Ball Z" will be aired soon, so arranging a special program in advance can be regarded as a way to increase the attention of the animation.

As a result, no one expected...

This Dragon Ball-themed TV special actually attracted more than 10 million viewers, which almost shocked TBS.

If a special program is so popular, will the ratings of the first episode of the officially aired anime be particularly bad?

Obviously, this is impossible!

According to statistics, when the first episode of the anime "Mini Goku's book "Mizuki Gohan" was broadcast, one out of every three TVs on in Neon was broadcasting Dragon Ball.

What a terrifying spectacle is this?

The start of "Dragon Ball Z" can be called explosive, and it belongs to the type where the debut is the peak.

What’s even more outrageous is that TV works that start like this usually experience a small drop in ratings when the second episode is aired, but “Dragon Ball Z” did not.

Even with the appearance of Raditz and the reveal of Goku's Saiyan identity, the ratings not only did not fall back, but actually increased slightly on the original basis.

Abstract!

It doesn’t matter that Tianhu started the show, the key is that the audience hasn’t lost a lot, and the stickiness is incredible.

West End is indeed West End.

The magical girl who was assigned by Gu Miao and worked hard for a year did not let him waste his original "fight storyboarding" skills, and his performance was still outstanding.

As for what Gu Miao is worried about, regarding the reconstruction of the new version of the combat power system, Nishio has also done a good job.

A scumbag with a combat power of 5, this joke still exists.

However, the combat power values ​​of others, including the protagonists Goku and Raditz, have been reduced to varying degrees.

What?

Isn't Raditz enhanced?

"He has become stronger!"
Chapter completed!
