My Animation Era

Funny Animation was scolded to death.

At first, some people didn’t know that the production company of “Fruit Strike 2” had changed people, so they went to Weibo post bars and other places to criticize Wanbao Animation.

Can Gu Miao endure this injustice?

He immediately clarified, waving his hands repeatedly to express: Don’t be embarrassed! We at Wanbao have never produced animations like "Fruit Attack 2", this is all done by Funny Animation...

Now Funny Animation is famous.

Qiqu Anime, which had no reputation or presence at all and had never been heard of by ordinary viewers, suddenly became the target of public criticism and was scolded by angry "Fruit Attack" fans until they could not hold their heads up.

There are even some netizens who are very resourceful, and through some channels, they found out that the name "Xiong Tianwei" was included in the shareholder list of Funny Animation.

Then, the little bear is always in trouble.

Originally, Qiqu Animation was scolded, but since it was the vest company run by Mr. Little Bear, it didn't matter to him if he couldn't be scolded.

But after the identity of the actual controller was discovered, the audience was not stupid. Combined with the "close" relationship between Mr. Xiao Xiong and Gu Miao, they quickly guessed that the culprit was Mr. Xiao Xiong.

Okay, it turns out to be your boy!

Still wondering where Qiqu Animation came from? Why is it that the audience who got the follow-up production rights of "Fruit Strike" from Wanbao are worried that there is no place to vent their anger, and the little bear always directly hits the muzzle.

"I was wronged!"

"This was all ordered by Gu Sanshui. My arms can't twist my thighs. Without his acquiescence, how could I dare to make "Fruit Attack 2"?"

Little Bear is always determined to drag Gu Miao into the water. As the saying goes, good brothers are used to block guns. How can he be scolded only by him?

Unfortunately, the audience didn't quite believe him.

In the words of a netizen, Gu Sanshui's new work "Guardian of Yangcun" and "Fruit Attack 2" were aired almost at the same time. Could it be that he also knows the magic of clones? One person controls two animation production teams?

It must be this uneasy and kind person named Xiong who deliberately throws dirty water on Mr. Gu. Don't believe him!

"You're going a little too far."

Little Bear was always angry and called to question: "We agreed to fight against public opinion together, but when things came to pass, the blame fell entirely on me, right?"

"Don't be embarrassed!"

"The audience's eyes are sharp. They have all acquitted me. How can you blame me?"

Gu Miao would not admit it even if she was beaten to death.

What "Fruit Strike 2"? I don’t know, I don’t understand, it has nothing to do with me!

Although before the broadcast, he knew that the results of Fruity Attack 2 would be much worse than those of the first season. But he really hadn't thought about the current criticism.

Fortunately, I had left this hot potato to Mr. Bear, and now I can pass the blame to him. Otherwise, if the second season was produced and released by Wanbao Animation, Gu Miao would not dare to think about the consequences.

"I knew you had no good intentions."

"Ha! Do you regret it?"

Gu Miao took a sip and said: "This is the "Fruit Attack" series. Although the results of the second season are not satisfactory, I don't believe that we didn't make any money. How dare you say this?"

This time the little bear was silent.

Gu Miao's guess was correct. Although from a performance perspective, the second season of Fruity Strike was indeed far worse than the first season, and its reputation also declined seriously.

But to be honest, this is the popular "Fruit Attack" series in China. How can a sequel not make money?

There is a possibility that the third season will suffer losses.

However, neither Mr. Xiong nor Gu Miao have much thoughts about the third season.

Gu Miao didn't have much interest.

Mr. Little Bear feels that "Fruit Strike 2" may be the last afterglow of this series, and the third season is destined to be disappointing.

But Liang Guiliang, at least the title of the work still carries the prefix "Fruit Treasure Special Attack". Even if the broadcast performance is poor, he can still be satisfied on his own money.

"Staying on our laurels?"

Hearing Mr. Bear's words, Gu Miao smiled bitterly and said, "What did you imagine "Fruit Attack" to be? Do you think the animation's capital is so rich that it can last for several seasons in a row?"

Stop making trouble!

The audience is very realistic. The failure of a single season sequel may be an accident, which can also give the production team enough tolerance and allow them to make adjustments.

But if two consecutive seasons, or even multiple seasons, are lower than expected, then there will be a big problem.

The prerequisite for gnawing on old age is that the family background is strong enough, otherwise why would you gnaw on old age? How can I always let you chew?

Only with super popular IPs like "Pokémon" and "Dragon Ball" can there be a situation that Xiaoxiong always imagined, that is, multiple TV sequels can make a lot of money even if they are bad.

And does Guobao Special Attack meet this standard?

It's obviously not enough.

The failure of the second season already means that this IP is on the verge of life and death. If the third season continues, it will be possible to arrange the funeral arrangements for Cheng Liuxiang, Pineapple Chuixue and Lu Xiaoguo.

…

Gu Miao expected that the second season of Gobao Special Attack was not received well, or the results were unsatisfactory.

After all, the reason why he lost this IP to Mr. Bear was because he had long been mentally prepared for "Fruit Attack" to be worse than the previous season.

But to be honest...

Gu Miao still likes the three jelly characters: Chengliuxiang, Pineapple Chuixue and Lu Xiaoguo.

Although the decline of IP is a foregone conclusion, for the sake of these three animated characters, he still wants to try his best to save it and find new opportunities.

The question is how to do it?

Start with a story?

Putting aside everything else, Gu Miao still really likes the story of Guo Baosan. I feel that whether it should be changed or not is not the point, because the problem is obviously not with the plot.

Is that the setting?

If you think about it carefully, when the animation "Fruit Fruit" came out, everyone thought it was the sequel to "The Three Jelly Musketeers" and didn't pay much attention to it.

As a result, the cry of "Fruit Mecha Returns" immediately made the animation take off, becoming one of the most popular children's animations at the time...

So, what everyone likes is actually the fusion of mechas, or the cool battle between mechas and mechas?

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the influence of "The Three Jelly Musketeers" when it was first broadcast was completely incomparable with the later "Fruit Attack".

To put it bluntly, the main reason for the popularity of Fruit Baby Attack is mainly due to the unique Fruit Baby mecha setting at the time.

Mecha, Guobao mecha...

If Gu Miao remembers correctly, it seems that in the original "Fruit Attack" series of animations, mechas such as the Orange Battle Treasure, the Pineapple Battle Treasure, and the Little Fruit Battle Treasure have gone through several changes in setting and styling. change?

Let’s not talk about the pros and cons of design.

Just talking about the significance of changing the shape and settings of the mecha seems very unusual? Especially in the fourth season, even the names of the mechas were changed.

It can be seen that Lan Hu also seems to know the importance of the Fruit Treasure Mecha, and tried many innovations and thought of many ideas in the process of making the sequel.

This also inspired Gu Miao.

Anyway, it’s like this, why not give the children a wonderful life that either makes their eyes light up or makes them dark?
