Chapter 211 The Decline of TV Platforms (Please Subscribe)

Gu Miao's "parallel world" theory is actually not original, let alone any pioneering work.

The animation industry has long been ruined.

This kind of setting system is also often seen in the special photography and film circles next door. Over time, even the audience has become accustomed to the parallel world.

Use it directly, no problem.

Because it is a story that takes place in a parallel world, the plot of the live-action version is generally similar to the animated version, but there are new changes.

This change has aroused everyone's enthusiasm for watching dramas and also aroused everyone's curiosity.

After watching it, what do you think of the changes in the plot of the live-action version, and what do you think of the blackening of Mercury and the "annihilation" of the Moon Princess?

Gu Miao was not very worried.

In fact, when the original version was first aired, there was controversy about the plot of the live-action version of "Sailor Moon". But as time goes by, this controversy becomes less and less until it disappears.

This is a work that can stand the "test of time". There are no big problems with the plot and the screenwriter's adaptation is very appropriate.

You can complain...

The live-action version of "Sailor Moon" had too old-fashioned costumes and transformations that were too awkward, and one could even criticize the actors' appearance and figure.

The only thing I can't do is to blame the poor plot!

You know, this is an "adapted" version that even the original author of the manga, Naoko Takeuchi, is full of praise for. Even the old animation couldn't do this, so you can imagine how great the plot is.

certainly!

No matter how great the plot is, it cannot hide that the original version was filmed in 2000. The aspect of obeying the Tao and transforming is indeed limited by the times, and it will look very awkward after many years.

But the Wanbao version is different.

At the beginning of filming, Gu Miao took this into consideration and specifically pointed out to Du Hao and Fu Huadao's team that the current "aesthetic" may become outdated in many years.

Therefore, when designing Fu Hua Dao, you should not blindly pursue trends, but consider...

What kind of aesthetic can withstand the test of time and still not become outdated even after many years?

Because of this level of consideration, in the live-action version of "Sailor Moon", there are very few "fashionable" outfits, and most of them are "classic".

at the same time.

Du Hao also hired a professional costume designer to fine-tune the animated version of the "sailor suit" to make it more suitable for the live-action version.

The modified sailor suit, I have to admit, it is indeed very beautiful!

As the live-action version aired, more and more viewers discovered that the sailor uniform worn by Bunny after his transformation seemed different from the animated version.

After further research, I discovered that it turned out to be a "remodel"!

"What a despicable and despicable Gu Maggot, I just bought an old model for my daughter, and you released a new model of backstab?"

“The new model is so beautiful, I like it!”

"Husband! I want a new model! Husband, why are you mute..."

No surprises.

With the popularity of the live-action version of "Sailor Moon", the modified Sailor Moon costumes have also been loved by many girls.

All major platforms sell until the code is broken.

This should be a good thing for Wanbao, because although these Sailor Soldier suits are not produced by Wanbao, they can still "take a commission".

But Gu Miao was not happy.

Du Hao, who was at the peak of his life and full of joy, saw Mr. Gu's depressed face and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it like this? We have made money, please be happy!"

"I can't be happy."

"When people ask me what Wanbao sells, I reply that Wanbao sells skirts and sailor uniforms..."

Gu Miao covered her face and said, "How embarrassing it is to say this! We are an animation company, not a special women's clothing company!"

Well!

There seems to be a little bit of truth.

Du Hao scratched his head and thought for a while, then asked curiously: "Isn't there any good news from the toy company?"

"No."

Gu Miao sighed and didn't want to speak.

Don't look at the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" which has become a huge hit. It has set off a craze for watching the drama on TV platforms, online platforms, and even abroad.

But toys really can’t be sold!

This thing is like being possessed by an evil spirit. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the Sailor Senshi suit, and no one wants to take a second look at the peripheral derivative toys.

If you sell women's clothing, sell women's clothing.

As long as he can make money, Gu Miao actually doesn't mind the outside world's evaluation of him. However, the Sailor Senshi uniforms sold too well, which also caused some bad effects.

For example...

Being regarded as sexy clothing?

To be honest, when Gu Miao learned about this for the first time, it seemed like a door to a new world had opened.

He never expected that the Sailor Soldier uniform could have such a purpose! All I can say is that everyone is really good at playing!

Actually, that's not too bad.

As the most famous anime IP owned by Wanbao and the one with the most beautiful female characters, "Sailor Moon" has always been the focus of some unspeakable websites.

All kinds of Cosplay emerge in endlessly.

Sometimes, it's not that Gu Miao cares too much about these things, but there are always people who don't understand and use the anonymity of the Internet to vilify "Sailor Moon".

The point is, he can't control it yet.

The more she thought about it, the more helpless she became. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh and decided not to think about these bad things.

The live-action version of "Sailor Moon" premiered with a pretty good ratings of 5.41%.

Although it is not as good as many Wanbao classic animations, one very important point must be taken into consideration, and that is the difference between "live-action drama" and "animation".

Among live-action dramas, the five-point ratings for the premiere are already amazing.

but……

Although the ratings are very good, it is almost impossible to break the record.

Don't ask why.

Just ask, adults, times have changed!

"Under the impact of the Internet and mobile Internet, TV platforms are declining, and the magnitude is great."

Director Wang said with a worried face: "This is not something that just happened this year. There have been obvious signs in the past few years."

It was easy for TV dramas that were popular in the past to have ratings that exceeded ten points, and could reach as high as fifteen or sixteen points, or even close to twenty points.

But in the past two years...

Let alone fifteen or six o'clock, the TV series that won the annual ratings championship only had a ratings of nine points. This is simply terrifying.

TV series have suffered the most.

Secondly, various variety shows have been affected by the impact of the Internet, and their average ratings have dropped again and again, and they are no longer the glory they once were.

Animation has also been inevitably affected, but compared to TV series and variety shows, the decline is not particularly large.

This is easy to understand.

Children mostly watch TV and are less likely to play with their mobile phones and computers all day long.

But the Internet is a big trend.

There will only be fewer and fewer people watching TV. In the future, people will mostly follow TV dramas and animations through mobile phones or computers.

"Then I have to make plans early."

When Gu Miao heard this, she knew what to do. In the future, animations produced by Wanbao may not necessarily be broadcast on TV...

Online exclusive broadcasting is also a way out!

Sorry, I messed with the router, the second update is a bit late.
