Best wishes for animation production - #501 - Chapter 497 Cross-border reminder

Gu Xue asked Yu Jingyao to dump the first six episodes of “Attack on Titan” on the Internet.

There is no promotion, no dubbing, just subtitles. This is considered localization, nothing more.

To be honest, this level of localization is basically equivalent to none for people from another continent.

Because of the different language structures, so-called Waiguoren are generally not used to reading translated subtitles.

But if you want to say that Japanese animation has no audience, no, there is still an audience, and there are many of them.

Otherwise, Netflix wouldn’t send people all the way to the other side of the Pacific to be taken advantage of…

But these audiences, compared to animations with only English subtitles, are still more accustomed to watching Japanese animations that have been re-dubbed and all the characters in the drama speak fluent English…

They have professional dubbing actors, a specialized importing company, and a large and stable audience.

Netflix may have discovered this and felt that the subculture had great potential, so it allowed Lyons to be taken advantage of all the way…

Of course, not all imported animations can enjoy the special treatment of re-dubbing, at least not “Attack on Titan”. To enjoy this special treatment, you must at least have the copyright.

As for “Attack on Titan,” overseas, the copyright has not yet been sold.

Of course dubbing is a no-brainer.

Subtitles only.

Gu Xue could only do this.

She had no intention of throwing away all the aired episodes of “Attack on Titan” just for the sake of fame. Since she couldn’t get any money from overseas YUKI studios, she only threw out six episodes.

Next, she will release an episode every week, which is slower than domestically, and can only be slower than domestically. The animation is still being serialized, and translation takes time. Gu Xue also needs to set aside some time.

After all, no matter how good the animation is, it needs some time to ferment, right?

Animations with average popularity and animations with great popularity come at two different prices.

More importantly, “Attack on Titan” has subtitles. This level of localization is basically equivalent to no such thing for people from another continent. Gu Xue has also thought about it. She thinks it is. It is necessary to leave some time for the audience on the other side of the sea to adapt.

Gu Xue really thought about it a lot.

She also truly felt that this wave was stable.

She went up with confidence.

only……

After A goes up.

soon.

Gu Xue found out.

Oh my god!

What a waste!

Times have changed!

I am completely fighting against the air!

…

Gu Xue underestimated the reputation of YUKI Studio and completely underestimated the acceptance of the “Attack on Titan” animation by audiences on the other side of the Pacific.

Thanks to the previous crowdfunding of “Little Witch Academia”, the official account of YUKI Studio, which originally released “Little Witch Academia”, already has a number of fans.

Foreigners are not very used to reading translated subtitles, but just because they are not used to it does not mean that they cannot watch it.

As long as you give enough, the problem is not a problem.

Orcs will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter.

I will never watch a translated anime without dubbing, unless it is so good…

And “Attack on Titan” belongs to the latter.

For viewers on the other side of the Pacific, the background of this animation suits the appetite, the development suits the appetite, the protagonist suits the appetite, the setting suits the appetite, and most importantly, it is exciting enough…

In the beginning, the first people to see animation.

Those people who follow the YUKI Studio account on YUTOBE.

After watching the animation, I was shocked.

After they finished watching, they all turned into tap water.

I shared and recommended this animation with my friends.

Gradually, more people saw this animation.

The discussion started to increase.

Just two days later.

The animation “Attack on Titan” has become a word-of-mouth and hit work that is praised by everyone in the small circle!

Animation, and all other subcultures like it, actually have a fixed circle. Just like if you are a fan of American TV series, during the time when the last season of Game of Thrones was aired, you didn’t pay attention to the series even if you haven’t watched it yet. News, you can also receive the news that Game of Thrones is unfinished…

And then gave up the idea of ​​watching…

Because you follow American TV series, you are in this circle.

Now “Attack on Titan” is in this situation. It has a huge reputation and a lot of discussion in the animation circles in Europe and the United States.

Anyone who is in the animation circle will know it is a dog…

More and more people have watched the first six episodes of “Attack on Titan”.

Gu Xue includes the entire YUKI studio.

But he was still unaware of it.

Gu Xue thought it would take some time to ferment…she didn’t pay attention at all.

Others thought so too.

This situation continues until.

The fifth day the animation was released overseas.

YUKI Studio.

I received a cross-border update call from Europe and the United States spanning tens of thousands of kilometers…

When Yu Jingyao received the call, she was really confused.

Her English is average…or very poor.

The person on the other end of the phone spoke so urgently and quickly that she couldn’t understand.

I can only repeat Excuse me over and over again…

“…”

The person on the other end of the phone talked a lot, but found that the person on the other end was still repeating “Excuse me” like a repeater, and he guessed that the other person didn’t understand…

He was silent for a moment.

It also turned into a repeater…

“Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven!”

The opposite meaning is very simple! Episode 7 of “Attack on Titan”! Release it quickly! It’s obviously the most exciting time! Why is it suddenly gone? Episode 7!

The person on the other end of the phone was reading faster and faster, becoming more and more anxious.

And Yujing Yao…

She understood the words this time…

But she didn’t associate it with “Attack on Titan”…

The other end of the phone kept repeating Seven.

Yu Jingyao scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and replied with some uncertainty: “UltraSeven?”

The other end of the phone: “…”

…

the other side.

3.C PICTURE.

The day before, Lyons was still racking his brains and thinking hard about how to save the animation “Monster”.

But here we are today.

He gave up.

He didn’t want to do anything anymore.

Just want a dog leash.

“Lyons.”

John was a little worried when he saw his boss holding an iPad and his pupils were staring at the ceiling in a daze.

“Call me stupid!”

Lyons replied hopelessly.

It seems… besides awesome, he also learned another word.

John: “…”

They discovered the first six episodes of “Attack on Titan” released by YUKI Studio on YUTOBE half a day later than Yu Jingyao.

Logically speaking, they would not be that slow. Two foreigners, and two foreigners who watch sand sculpture videos on YUTOBE every day, should not be more slow than YUKI Studio.

But they are just so slow…

In fact, after the fiasco of “Monster”, Lyons and John began to consciously avoid some news about Giants.

They covered their ears childishly, as if as long as they could not hear, the fiasco would not exist…

This is what Lyons did during this period.

But you can hide for a while, but you can’t hide for a lifetime.

finally.

Lyons was still forced to see news about the Giants.

And it’s where he worries the most.

Saw it.

Looking at the playback volume of the first six episodes of Giant on YTUBE, the entire comment section was full of praise.

The last fig leaf obtained by Lyons’ cover-up skills was ruthlessly torn away.

“Monster” is available on Netflix.

until today.

It only has a total of 8 million views… There are very few people who are willing to open membership subscriptions for this animation.

And “Attack on Titan.”

Damn it, just six episodes! The total number of views is over 20 million!

what is this?

humiliation?

“Monster” doesn’t seem to be up to par…

“Lyons.”

John was startled by Lyons’ word “idiot”, but he quickly recovered and advised with a wry smile: “Give up, talk to Gu Xue and buy the copyright. Since she only released six episodes, Instead of releasing all the more than ten episodes that have been aired, there is obviously the intention to sell the copyright…”

Lyons’ face twitched and he looked at John: “Where are our faces? Don’t you want them anymore?”

John was unsure: “Then you want to continue thinking about how to save “Monster” here?”

Lyons sat up in shock as he lay dying.

“Let’s go talk to Gu Xue…”
