My Animation Era

Inuyasha's story has just begun, but some stories have already reached the end.

After going through some twists and turns, the animation "Date A Live 2" has come to an end. Not only were the fans relieved, Gu Miao was finally able to have a good sleep.

The past month and a half.

Ever since she learned that the outsourcing production company was facing a bankruptcy crisis and the animation production team was on the verge of disbandment, Gu Miao had been worried about the fate of Date 2.

At that time, he even thought about changing people. After all, the situation of the original outsourcing team was really bad. To be on the safe side, it would be safer to change the team.

However, considering that as many as six episodes of Date of War 2 have been produced and broadcast, and the progress is already over half, he did not change the production team.

It turns out.

This decision is the right one!

If the production team is changed rashly, the final quality of the animation may not be as good as the original team's insistence on completing it.

Although...it collapsed a bit in the later stages.

Many fans are complaining, saying that the production level of the second season of "Date A Live" TV has suffered a visible decline in quality since the seventh episode. Compared with the first six episodes, there are obvious signs of rush.

This is the truth!

Neither the producer, Wanbao Animation, nor the producers deny this, and even frankly apologized to the majority of Fighting fans.

Red bean paste private Marseille!

Bow once, bow again...

Click, click, click!

In short, that's it for apologizing. As for making corrections? The production team just finished episode 12 and it was officially announced that they were disbanded. How can they make corrections?

"This is force majeure!"

Although the quality of the animation dropped seriously in the middle and later stages, mainly in chapters 7-12, fans did not blame the production team too much.

After all, when Date 2 was broadcast, the company's capital chain was broken and its debts were in default, making it difficult to maintain the team's normal operations...

The successful completion of the animation is the result of the dedicated efforts of the production team and Wanbao's efforts. What else do you want?

It would be nice if it wasn't cut in half.

Although there are many imperfections in the animation and many flaws in the production level, there is no way, as Gu Miao said: This is force majeure!

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.

The animation is running well, but the production company goes bankrupt midway. What can he do?

If something like this happens, it's like going out for shopping on a sunny day only to have a heavy rain fall, and you'll be soaked in the rain because you didn't bring an umbrella. It's just bad luck and there's nothing you can do about it.

Fortunately, the other party was very responsible and did not give up the responsibility because the company went bankrupt. With the financial support of Wanbao, the task was completed risk-free.

In the past two months, more than 17 employees from the animation "Date Live 2" production team have resigned and changed jobs...

The salary is paid by Gu Miao.

After all, their company has gone bankrupt, and their assets have been jointly frozen by creditors and banks. There is not a penny on their books. Wanbao doesn't pay them wages, so they just generate electricity for love.

certainly!

As the saying goes, good people are rewarded. Wanbao stepped forward in times of crisis and paid everyone's wages out of his own pocket, which undoubtedly moved the production team of Battle 2.

So after the team officially announced its dissolution, quite a few people chose to submit their resumes to Wanbao Animation.

This is not poaching!

It was purely because these people were moved by Wanbao's help in times of need. They felt that Wanbao was a very good company, so they enthusiastically applied to join the company.

Seto told Gu Miao.

Considering that many of these people were old people who had been immersed in the animation industry for many years, they were rich in experience, and the number of them was not large, he decided to package them up.

"It's good. It just so happens that the Neon Division also needs to expand its manpower. It's a pity that this team is a remnant..."

Not only did Gu Miao have no objection to Seto's actions, she even felt it was a pity.

The outsourced production team of Battle 2 was originally very large, but after this round of twists and turns, it was already half disabled, with very few people left.

Otherwise, if we absorb this team in one go, Wanbao Neon Division will be able to have a complete studio, and we will no longer have to deal with the headache of insufficient manpower.

Battle 2 is over.

But the work of cleaning up this mess has just begun. In addition to recovering the production rights and holding the cooperative company accountable, there is another question before us: what to do with the third season?

The name of Lu Bu from the second dimension is well-known throughout the industry.

In the first and second seasons, two TV animations broke up two elite animation studios, a ten-year-old animation production company...

Such a brilliant record is really daunting.

First let’s be clear.

Due to taboos, Wanbao Animation will not produce a TV follow-up to "Date A Live". Even if Gu Miao agrees, Seto does not dare to underestimate the two-dimensional Lu Bu's temperament.

Then you can only find outsourcing!

But the problem now is that no one from Neon dares to take over the third season of this project.

Don't ask, just ask because you are afraid...

Although everyone said that they should believe in science and that all the magic spells and moldy traits were fake, when Seto went out to inquire about them, they all shook their heads like rattles.

It's not like Gu Miao and Seto haven't thought about looking for suitable outsourcing production teams in other overseas countries.

But the fight is really famous.

How famous is it? He is so famous that those European and American animation studios have also heard of the glorious deeds of Lu Bu in the second dimension.

Okay!

After walking around, everyone was afraid of a fight. Even though Wanbao's offer was very tempting, no brave warrior dared to try the third season for fear of repeating the same mistakes.

This is very embarrassing.

As a popular harem anime, it is extremely popular among fans and has great economic benefits. However, no one dares to pick up a sequel?

…

The Date and Battle series has fallen into a strange circle where it is obviously very popular, but no one dares to make a sequel.

And on the other side.

The production team of "Go Boy", which had just started the project, also encountered an unexpected trouble.

theme song!

As an anime song that Gu Miao was familiar with when he was a child, and a melody that has been engraved into his DNA, the song "Diploma Swinging Knife, Seven-Year-Old Licking Floor Tiles" is definitely not to be missed.

The lyrics and music are all ready-made.

It stands to reason that if you just invite any energetic male singer to come to the recording studio and sing a few times, you should be fine.

But the problem lies with the singer.

The invited singer had good singing skills and was cheap. The first recording session reached the level Gu Miao wanted. Everything was on the right track.

But no one expected that the singer would upload the song to the music platform after being drunk, as if he wanted everyone to praise him.

Well, after drinking alcohol, it’s really easy to do things that ordinary people can’t understand.

There’s nothing wrong with song exposure.

Wanbao didn't ask for confidentiality. After all, what could be kept secret about a theme song? Just spread the word!

But the copyright of this song belongs to Wanbao, and the contract clearly states that Wanbao uploads it on its own initiative. Even if it is the original singer, it does not have the right to upload it to the music platform.

The most speechless thing is...

As the theme song of the animation "Go Boy" with the same name, according to the agreement, this song will have the reminder "Theme Song of the Animation "Go Boy"" added after the song title.

But this guy secretly uploaded the song while drunk. The song title and release information did not indicate that it was the theme song of the "Go Boy" animation.

Although this guy had just released the song, within an hour he was woken up by a call from his manager and Wanbao. He broke into a cold sweat and quickly removed the song.

Just one hour.

The singer himself is not a well-known musician, he does not have many fans, and not many people know about it. Even if they know, it is at best treated as an own incident.

But this incident made the composer Master Cao very dissatisfied, thinking that he did not get the respect he deserved.

what?

If I sing it to you, do you think it’s your song? Do you understand what copyright is?

Master Cao is one of our own.

After he made it clear that he didn't like the singer, no matter how suitable the recorded version was, Gu Miao decided to find someone else and no longer collaborate with the singer.

It's really a bit disrespectful.

After all, the song belongs to Wanbao. He just collects money to do things and comes over to howl. How dare he be so shameless and upload it as his own original song?

Drinking?

The song has been removed and an apology has been issued?

This is not a reason. Both Master Cao and Gu Miao feel that after something like this happens, it would be better to perform the concert with another person.

After all, if they continue to use that person, there will always be a thorn in their hearts. If this thorn is not pulled out, even if Gu Miao has a broad mind, he will still feel uncomfortable.

What?

He has already revealed to his fans that he will sing the theme song for the animation "Go Boy". If he changes the person, how will he explain it to his fans?

This has nothing to do with Gu Miao.

He's just a marginal 18th-tier singer, so don't take him too seriously. Gu Miao doesn't care about his face or complaints at all.

…

Changing the singer took some time.

However, the recording of the theme song was not originally a high priority, not even as high as the dubbing selection. A slight delay of a few days would not be a problem.

Not long after the production of the animation "Go Boy" started, a small commotion during the recording of the theme song caused trouble for Gu Miao, but it was nothing compared to the complex and changeable chess records.

His eyes almost look like flowers!

As special consultants, Xiao Ke and Mr. Liu prepared a large number of chess records for Jiang Liuer's games, including many famous games.

After watching so many chess games one by one, Gu Miao only had one thought in her mind: white stones, black stones, stains...

Who wouldn't be confused here?

He himself does not understand Go, let alone played Go. Even the detailed rules of Go were only recently made up.

In this case, Xiao Ke and Mr. Liu threw so many chess records to him at once. If he wanted to thoroughly understand and study them, he didn't know how much time would be wasted.

First of all, he doesn’t have that much time.

Secondly, since he is an animation director and not a professional chess player, he does not need to study chess records too deeply. He only needs to roughly understand the "god move" of each game.

Interesting to say.

Although Go is a competitive game that tests your brain, 90% of the game is garbage time.

This is not embarrassing...

There is not much time to actually play Go. The reason why a game of chess takes so long to get the result is mainly because the thinking time in the middle is too long.

And even when playing chess, many moves follow the rules, which is commonly known as the master move. Only when the situation is the most tense and critical moment, the players of both sides will make the kind of clever move that "reverses the situation with one move."

In animation, only masters are worth watching! To be honest, there is no need to make it for ordinary lay hands and masters. It is not a problem to omit it a little.

Therefore, even though there are so many and complicated chess records, when Gu Miao is learning, she only needs to remember a few key steps.

The workload was immediately reduced a lot.

Didn't Xiao Ke never think about teaching Gu Miao how to play Go? Not to mention how great a master he would be, he should at least reach an amateur level, right?

But after a few days of teaching, he gave up.

As the saying goes, playing chess with a bad chess player will only make it worse and worse, and may even contaminate the database of the world's number one player.

When Xiao Ke found that he and Gu Miao had played a lot of chess, and the layout ideas were gradually assimilated, and after they were completely integrated into the novice division, he fell into deep thought, and then never mentioned teaching Gu Miao how to play chess again.

"How can you give up halfway?"

"Keep teaching! I am a unique Go genius. Are you afraid that I will threaten your status as the number one player in the world, so you refuse to teach me?" Gu Miao asked suspiciously.

Xiao Ke: "..."

Really don’t! I have only played chess with you for three days, and the database has already been contaminated. If I continue to play for a few days, I am afraid that even amateur players will not be able to play.

"You... have progressed too fast. With my level, I can no longer teach you. Let's do this. I will find you a reliable teacher and you can play a few games of online chess with her and practice again."

Xiao Ke refused to teach Gu Miao any more, and he didn't want to bury Gu Miao's talent in Go, so he recommended a female chess player to him as his teacher.

In his words.

This female chess player was a legend in the domestic Go community. Gu Miao joined her to learn chess, and she was destined to have a great future. She might be able to succeed in the game in two days and compete in Wejia.

"Yeah?"

When Gu Miao heard this, she immediately believed it to be true.

After all, who is Xiao Ke? That is the world champion, recognized as the number one Go player in the world today, a half-man, half-dog existence.

It goes without saying that the Go teacher he recommended must be reliable. After all, to be so praised by the world's number one player, he must have two skills.

So, Gu Miao happily contacted her new teacher.

However, within a few days of becoming a disciple, he realized something was wrong.

Although his new teacher was very good at chess and could beat him to pieces, when playing online chess with her, Gu Miao always had the illusion of "a bad chess basket versus a bad chess basket".

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case.

After all, he is a veritable bad chess player. He has just started learning and playing Go not long ago. No matter how others say it, he is a professional player, and he is not a person who can touch porcelain.

But it's weird...

He's also a professional player, so why do you feel like he's a little too hydrated? It's like having a backdoor connection!

broken!

Xiao Ke is such a shameless person, he is really a stinky chess bag that you won’t introduce to him, right?

If he learns chess from this kind of teacher, he won't become stupider as he learns, and go from a genius chess player who is expected to surpass Xiao Ke to a recognized injury to Zhongyong, right?

"Xiao Ke with ulterior motives!"

The more Gu Miao thought about it, the angrier he became. When he thought that the Go world was full of jealous people like Xiao Ke, he immediately didn't want to continue learning.

It doesn’t matter if he can’t play Go, he’s just an animation director anyway, so why does he need such advanced chess skills?
