My Animation Era

Number one in China and top three in Asia?

The former is a well-recognized name. After all, after annexing Feiyang Animation, there is really no animation company larger than Wanbao in China.

But the latter requires a question mark...

the reason is simple!

Although Wanbao Animation has successfully created a wave of presence around the world with "Sailor Moon". But only "Sailor Moon" has such an astonishing influence, and other works can only be mixed in the country.

Top three in Asia?

Even Gu Miao himself would not dare to say such arrogant words. After all, there are several animation giants in Neon.

Barely ranked in the top five.

But whether it's the top five or the top three, it doesn't mean anything to Gu Miao as long as it's not number one.

not to mention……

Although relying on the legacy left by Mr. Bear, Wanbao Animation has successfully reached the "No. 1 national server".

But first, it’s very hydrating!

Gu Miao used to be an employee of Feiyang Animation, so she was naturally aware of the internal problems of Feiyang Animation.

In the past, it was difficult and inconvenient for him to talk about these problems, because Little Bear would not necessarily correct them if he did. But now that he is the boss, he has to make some corrections.

Overstaffed!

This was the first conclusion Gu Miao came to after inspecting Feiyang Animation, and this conclusion also made him admire Mr. Xiong even more.

What a great injustice!

Feiyang Animation has more than 300 employees, but only more than 100 people actually work. There are more than 200 people left, and it can be said that they are all idlers who fish and clock in.

This is too abstract.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a top-notch rich second generation. Raising so many idle people is really in line with the behavior of a rich second generation.

The second problem is that people’s hearts are scattered.

Since the establishment of Feiyang Animation, except for one film "Haiwa Brothers" which was passable and made everyone hold their heads up, the rest of the works would make dogs shake their heads.

Not to mention, the movie "Kuiba" has not yet been released, and its poor box office performance has filled the company with an atmosphere of "depression and sadness".

It’s no wonder that everyone is depressed.

Anyone who stays in a company with "endless failure" will become depressed, lose hope for the future, and have the idea of ​​"muddling along."

Compared with bloated personnel, disengagement is the problem that Gu Miao urgently needs to solve.

After all, there is a saying that goes well...

If people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Now, Feiyang Animation has just experienced the box office tragedy of "Kuiba", the boss and the production director quarreled, and the boss ran away with a bucket. The morale of Feiyang Animation has hit rock bottom.

As the new president, the first thing Gu Miao did after taking office was to have a conversation with Hou Bin, the current production director of Feiyang Animation and the chief animation director of the movie "Quiba".

The two had conflicts and misunderstandings before.

But with Gu Miao taking the initiative to talk things out, some of the previous nastiness naturally disappeared.

Gu Miao sincerely tried to persuade him to stay.

But Hou Bin felt that Feiyang Animation was really not a good place to end up. No matter whether the boss was Mr. Xiong or Gu Miao, he didn't want to stay any longer.

In order to retain him, Gu Miao came up with the "Pokémon" animation project that was still in the preparation stage, and said that if Hou Bin was willing to stay, the project would be his.

"Pokémon, trainer..."

"is this real?"

Hou Bin, who knew something about "Pokémon" and had even played the game, was immediately moved when he heard this.

Who in the industry doesn’t know?

The "Pokémon" game is popular all over the world, and the cumulative sales across all platforms have exceeded 10 million copies, making Wanbao a lot of money.

This is not the point. It is just a game. No matter how popular and profitable it is, it has nothing to do with their animation industry. At most, everyone can just say a few words to avoid losing their minds.

But when Wanbao Animation announced that it would make an "animated" adaptation of the "Pokémon" game, everyone couldn't keep calm.

A game that is popular all over the world!

Do you understand the value of the words "fire all over the world"? Such a popular game, after being adapted into animation, will definitely cause a sensation around the world.

Globally...

Hou Bin, who has been engaged in animation all his life but is not even famous in China, saw the "Pokémon" animation project before his eyes and seemed to see himself becoming famous all over the world.

It is impossible to say that he is not moved.

But precisely because of his heartbeat, he felt a little incredible. Even he knows what the "Pokémon" animation represents, and Gu Miao, as a person involved, must also know it.

Then here comes the problem!

Why on earth made him give up this opportunity to "become famous all over the world"?

"I have another one."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "On the one hand, I really can't spare any money. On the other hand, as the director of the animation "Sailor Moon", I no longer need any fame."

Does he still lack popularity?

There seems to be no shortage!

In China, almost all children who like to watch animation know him. Among adults, a large number of people have heard of the name "Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui".

Abroad, with the work "Sailor Moon", he is also very famous. I dare not say that he has reached the level of "well-known among all women and children" in China, but at least he can be regarded as a "well-known animation director".

In this case, Gu Miao really doesn't need to use "Pokémon" to make herself famous all over the world.

In this case, why not give the opportunity to others?

As for why Hou Bin was selected. Again, Wanbao Animation is really short of people.

Whether it’s the silly apprentice Xiao Guo or Huang Kun, everyone has their own projects and cannot spare the time and energy to waste time on the “Pokémon” animation.

not to mention……

He knew Hou Bin relatively well and thought that this person was not bad, and his character and ability met the standards. Keeping him would be a way to expand Wanbao's talent pool.

"Okay! I'll stay!"

Faced with this temptation, Hou Bin naturally would not refuse. As the founder of Ghost Hand Animation, although he was kicked out, he is not short of money after all.

All he pursues is "fame".

It just so happened that Gu Miao gave him a chance to make a name for himself. Although the two did have conflicts before, those are all in the past.

And at that time...

The conflict between them was due to differences in the "Quiba" project. When Gu Miao took the initiative to admit that "Kuiba" was a carefully designed trap, the contradiction was naturally eliminated.

"correct!"

Speaking of the "Quiba" project, Hou Bin suddenly thought of something.

According to the original plan, the "Quiba" project includes five movies, multiple TV animations and stage plays, creating a real "Yuanyang Realm" universe.

But now...

Kuiba's business failed half way through, and now the box office is flat and Mr. Xiong has run away. This is the time when the company's survival is at risk!

As the second-generation director, Mr. Gu, who shoulders the expectations of everyone, how will he treat the "Quiba" project?

Directly into the cold palace?

Or should we take over Mr. Xiong’s unfinished ambition and continue on the current path?

Why is it almost June, we are still so cold despite the rain...
