Chapter 577 Wanbao Is a Girl! (Please Subscribe)
How is tennis played?
First, straighten your back, tilt forward slightly at a certain angle, bend your knees, place your weight on your toes, and gently lift your back heels up, assuming a posture similar to a "horse squat".
Then you can lead and swing the racket, hit the ball with forehand and backhand, and hit the tennis ball back to the opponent's half of the court...
OK
Congratulations, you have passed the novice tutorial. Now go to the national competition to compete with Yukimura Seiichi, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Atobe Keigo and others!
Isn't this pure nonsense?
Ma Kui couldn't understand how he could perform such outrageous moves while playing tennis normally.
"Artistic processing, artistic processing!"
Gu Miao laughed and said: "This is just a fictitious tennis move made to show the strength of the player."
It is indeed artistic processing!
It's just that your artistic processing seems to be a bit over-processed. Tennis competitions are about superb skills, but this animation is better, and the competition is more outrageous.
Ma Kui could no longer complain.
honestly……
He can understand simple artistic modification and a little exaggeration. Skills such as "Field", "Flying Swallow Returning to the Nest", and "Outspin Serve" are completely in line with his imagination of this type of animation.
But the mental skills mentioned in the plan, as well as the realm of selflessness, the world of ice, etc., are so speechless.
Is this killer tennis?
What makes people even more speechless and choked is that the people playing this kind of fantasy murderous tennis are not professional players, but a group of middle school students who are still in junior high school...
"Don't worry about the details!"
Gu Miao smiled and said: "Whether it's murderous tennis or fantasy tennis, no matter what the result is, I'll ask you one thing, do you want to watch this animation?"
"Want to see it!"
Although he was speechless about these fantasy skills, Ma Kui had to admit that he was indeed intrigued by this animation called "The Prince of Tennis".
"Then come on..."
Gu Miao winked and said, "Since you are interested and have nothing to do, come join my production team and be my assistant director."
"OK!"
…
Under Gu Miao's deception, Ma Kui agreed to join the "Prince of Tennis" animation production team and serve as his deputy.
But this production team is currently just an empty shell!
There were only two of them.
In order to start the project as soon as possible, Gu Miao has not paid much attention to other things in recent days, focusing on selecting the candidates for the production team.
But just because he doesn't care about things doesn't mean trouble won't come to his door.
Early April.
As the animation "Digimon" began to be rebroadcast on children's channels in various places, a joint petition from foreign fans was sent to Gu Miao.
"What's the meaning?"
Gu Miao looked at this petition written entirely in English and felt bad.
Don’t the people in the President’s Office know that his English is terrible? Can't it be translated into Chinese in advance and then given to him for review?
"I thought you understood..."
"It's true that I can do it right after graduation, but I haven't reviewed it in so many years, and I have forgotten many words."
Gu Miao didn't have the consciousness of being a graduate of a key university, so he just handed over the things he couldn't understand to Lao Zhang. Anyway, he knew that Lao Zhang would definitely understand.
Lao Zhang is a master of language.
Before being promoted to vice president of the group, Lao Zhang had a very important job, that is, serving as the liaison person for Wanbao's overseas business.
He is proficient in multiple languages. Although he is not a professional translator, he has no problem with daily communication.
"This letter comes from an overseas fan group. It probably means that we hope that we can be merciful and let go of the private subtitle groups and websites that we are suing."
Lao Zhang briefly explained the content of the letter.
After hearing this, Gu Miao couldn't help but wonder: "Private subtitle group, website? We are suing you? What's going on?"
"Oh! Here's the thing..."
Through Lao Zhang's explanation, Gu Miao roughly understood the cause and process of the incident.
It turns out that as early as two years ago, when Wanbao was still producing the animation "Happy Baby", foreign fans established a special website - "Wanbao is a girl"!
The nature of this website should be that of an online forum.
It was originally a platform for overseas Wanbao fans to communicate, share and discuss animation and comics. As a result, as the website grew, some people slowly began to upload Wanbao Animation's "raw meat" resources on the website.
Don't ask why.
The main reason for this situation is that Wanbao Animation basically gives priority to its domestic premiere.
Usually after the domestic premiere, Wanbao will consider recommending the animation to overseas partners and then broadcast it in overseas markets.
There was a long gap.
Some fans couldn't wait and went to see the so-called "raw", undubbed version.
But raw meat is really hard to understand.
After all, Chinese is simply the most difficult language in the world for many foreigners to learn...
So for everyone's convenience, the "Wanbao is a Girl" website recruited a group of subtitle team members to provide everyone with the translated "cooked meat" version for free.
Due to the small scale in the early stage, the number of website visits was very low, and it was basically in the "word of mouth" stage, so it did not attract the attention of Wanbao officials.
But this year Wanbao noticed.
The Ministry of Justice believed that the website "Wanbao is a Girl" had seriously infringed upon Wanbao's legitimate rights and interests, so it filed a lawsuit.
"Are they profitable?"
"That's not true!"
Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "As far as I know, this website is purely generated by fans' love and is not used for commercial profit."
"The reason why we sued the other party and even wanted to shut down this website is mainly because we feel that the practices of this website and these private subtitle groups have affected the development of overseas business."
The petitions are coming.
To be honest, if there was no such thing, Gu Miao would have shut down this website without even thinking.
Because the other party uploaded Wanbao’s animation video without Wanbao’s permission. Even if it is not used for commercial profit, this has touched Wanbao's cake.
But this petition signed by overseas fans gave him a little hesitation.
The petitions from so many fans are enough to prove the status of the website "Wanbao is a girl" in the hearts of overseas Wanbao fans.
was sued, causing the website to be shut down.
In doing so, Wanbao has certainly protected its legitimate rights and interests, but it has also deeply hurt a group of loyal fans.
Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
After careful consideration, Gu Miao decided to send someone to have a talk with the founding team of the "Wanbao is a girl" website, hoping that they could be incorporated by Wanbao.
That way there's no problem.
If the other party agrees to be included, then the "Wanbao is a girl" website will not need to be prosecuted, or even shut down.
The private subtitle group can also continue to provide the "cooked meat" version of Wanbao animation to many overseas fans.
What should I do if I disagree?
Salad!
How could Wanbao tolerate such behavior if he didn't agree to be included? Not being sent to jail would be considered merciful by Gu Miao.
