My Animation Era

"Quiba" is in an embarrassing situation.

The target audience for this movie is precisely the audience who watch the least.

The age group is a little lower, and I don't understand and don't like watching this kind of animation. The age group is a little higher, and I am not very interested in animated movies, let alone buying tickets to watch movies.

So, if you can't go up or down, you're stuck here.

The performance of the screenings fully proves this point. The quality of the film itself is not bad, but for the current film market, this is definitely a "non-mainstream" work.

Of course, this is the "official" rhetoric.

As an accomplice, Gu Miao knew one thing very well, that is, he and Mr. Big Xiong played disgraceful roles during the screening of "Quiba".

It can even be said to be a big villain!

The main reason is that Big Bear is always playing tricks, suppressing a lot of heat and discussions that should belong to "Quiba", and making Xiao Xiong's tens of millions of announcements all in vain.

"The screenings are like this. I don't even dare to imagine how miserable the box office will be when the official release..."

Ma Kui shuddered and said, "Mr. Gu, the film industry is too deep, right? Tens of millions of investment can be paid if you say it. Do we really want to make a theatrical version?"

No wonder he was scared.

The main reason is that "Quiba" had such a miserable screening performance, who wouldn't feel panic after watching it?

That's tens of millions!

Just talking about numbers, many people may have no idea about this money. But if they were all replaced with banknotes, they should add up to fill a room.

As a result, the loss is like this...

Although the film has not yet been officially released, the final box office has not yet been released. But based on the screening results, it is not difficult to predict the final box office.

It should be more than ten million.

After excluding theater share, distribution, film development funds, taxes, etc., the money that falls into the hands is three to four million, which is not bad.

Thirty to forty million changed to three to four million?

Ma Kui secretly calculated this account, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

Although he and Wanbao were not the one who lost the money, witnessing the demise of an animated film made him question Gu Miao's decision.

first half of this year.

During the company's management meeting, Gu Miao proposed to make an animation theatrical version. Then he made a bet with Mr. Xiong from Feiyang Animation, betting on who could become the first animation company with a box office of over 100 million.

Now, Feiyang Animation is about to fall.

Will Wanbao Animation be the next one to fall? Will Mr. Gu be the next person to go up to the rooftop to blow air?

"Calm down!"

Gu Miao said calmly, "Animated movies are also divided into several categories, so we can't generalize them. Even if something happens to "Quiba", it won't affect our plan."

"But I still feel..."

"Don't you think, I want me to think! If you pay, you will pay. Can't we afford to pay tens of millions?"

Interrupting Ma Kui's muttering, Gu Miao questioned, "We'll talk about this later, tell me first, how about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Found it!"

"According to the results of my investigation, Mr. Tan and his wife are classmates in junior high school, and they have been in love since junior high school..."

Ma Kui said incessantly.

Mr. Tan is that wronged entrepreneur who invested 100 million to make an animation for his wife to commemorate their love.

Gu Miao was very interested in this business.

So he asked Ma Kui to collect information about the hobbies and early experiences of Mr. and Mrs. Tan, so that he could "prescribe the right medicine" and get the two of them to take the order.

The results were astonishing.

This couple has been in love since junior high school, from school uniforms to wedding dresses. After so many years, their relationship has not deteriorated, which is simply too enviable.

"Oh yes!"

After Ma Kui introduced Mr. and Mrs. Tan, he scratched his head and said, "During my investigation, Mr. Tan's junior high school classmates said that Mr. Tan's wife seemed to be an athlete when she was studying."

"Who? Mrs. Tan?"

Gu Miao was shocked and said, "Are you sure it's Mr. Tan's wife, not Mr. Tan himself?"

"It's his wife, not him."

Ma Kui affirmed: "I was surprised when I heard the news at the time, and I found other people to prove that Mr. Tan's wife is really a good athlete."

"The female player who won the sprint gold medal in the middle school student sports meeting was also included in the provincial team squad. If she didn't get married and have children later, she might be seen on the Olympic list."

Good guy, quite awesome!

Gu Miao never expected that Mrs. Tan would have such a "brilliant" past experience.

So here comes the problem.

Mr. Tan dared to find such a girlfriend, he must have been a romantic figure on campus at the time, right?

"Mr. Tan?"

Ma Kui smiled and said: "No one will believe it. Tan is always the art committee member of the class. Every time he organizes art performances, he will perform shows, such as singing and dancing."

It's okay, it's acceptable.

Compared to such a cheating wife, Tan always has some talent, which is not unacceptable.

But this experience...

It seems that it is not that simple to integrate into suitable animation works! After all, Mr. and Mrs. Tan's request must be as "restored" as possible.

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it.

Athletic female lead, talented male lead, from school uniform to wedding dress...

It seems to have a goal!

When he thought about these key words carefully, he suddenly thought of an animation, no matter the theme or the background, it seemed to meet the requirements of President Tan and his wife.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

An original TV animation by Seiji Kishi, a well-known animation director of Neon, known as "Moonlight is Beautiful", which claims that pure love never fails, and dog food is full.

Isn't this a perfect fit?

Gu Miao, who became more and more excited as she thought about it, quickly ordered Ma Kui to call all the company's screenwriters to the meeting room, and briefly introduced the story summary of "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful".

"This is an animation about the green and pure love of adolescent boys and girls, as well as their growth experiences."

"The story happened in Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School..."

The original work has a neon background, so Gu Miao needs to modify it, so as to meet the requirements of the sponsor and not cause misunderstandings.

Through his narration, the screenwriters of Wanbao have a general understanding of what kind of animation "The Moon Is Beautiful" is and what kind of story it tells.

Script planning begins.

Because it is a "team" collaboration, not a single person fighting alone, Gu Miao only needs to grasp the general direction. So in just three days, the first version of "The Moon Is Beautiful" animated text script was released.

When Gu Miao dialed Mr. Tan's phone number and told his personal secretary that the script had been sent to Mr. Tan's mailbox, there was no further news.

This waited for a full week.

Gu Miao didn't know whether Mr. Tan had read the script, let alone whether his adapted version of "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful" would win Mr. Tan's favor.

Just as he was worried about gains and losses because of the "100 million" reward, and even forgot to post on Weibo to celebrate the ratings of the animation "Happy Baby" breaking ten, the phone rang.

"Crooked! Mr. Gu?"

"I've already been to your company. It's convenient to find a place. Shall we talk about it?"
