My Animation Era

Gu Miao and others were no longer in the mood to celebrate after learning that "Lotus Lantern" would be released in advance and would most likely impact the subsequent box office of "Running Horses".

What else is there to eat?

Plum Blossom Animation's outrageous operation not only made Wanbao chickens and dogs jump, but also made this June extremely bloody.

Two animated movies in a row…

Animation movies that were rare in previous years, and even not one was released for many years, were released twice in a row this year. What's even more outrageous is that these two movies were released in the same month.

Good guy!

Not to mention that the audience has never seen this battle before, even experienced seniors in the Chinese comic circle feel that this matter is a bit abstract.

What is this for?

We are both part of National Comics. You will spend the first half of the year and I will spend the second half of the year. Let’s join hands to fight against the banner and support the success of National Comics, right?

They have to be mixed together.

Now that's good, it was originally a win-win situation, but maybe because of this schedule conflict, it directly led to a lose-lose situation for both parties.

Wanbao is considered innocent.

After all, the movie "Running Horses" was released before the movie, so they really couldn't blame them for the car crash. No one expected that Plum Blossom Animation would suddenly be released ahead of schedule.

"Let's mediate!"

Many seniors in the Chinese comic industry couldn't sit still after learning about this incident, and tried to persuade Meihua Animation to change their minds through various channels such as phone calls and WeChat.

It really can’t be done in advance!

After decades of Chinese animation, it has finally released a film that has a box office of over 1 billion, which is expected to hit a higher record and break the monopoly of live-action movies on the film market.

No matter how everyone usually slanders Gu Sanshui or how they dislike Wanbao Animation...

Faced with such a big issue of right and wrong, everyone still hopes that the Chinese comic circle can unite and not engage in infighting and hold things back.

Why?

Because "Race" now represents not only Wanbao Animation, but also a domestic animated film.

to be honest!

It's like a flag!

The higher the box office of "Horse Galloping" is, the brighter everyone's face will be. If it can secure the top spot at the box office of domestic movies in one fell swoop, then there will be plenty to talk about in the future.

Facing those live-action film directors, I proudly said: What happened to the cartoons? Cartoon films top the box office list of domestic films, beating out all live-action films!

Can't watch cartoons?

Do you deserve it? After teasing a live-action movie for so long, it was finally stepped on by an animated film. Where did you find the courage to despise animated films?

The old-timers care about this.

In order to protect the movie "Running Horses", they not only went to meet with Meihua Animation, but also hoped that Meihua Animation would change its mind and postpone it for a month or two.

At the same time, this group of seniors are still using their respective connections, hoping to help "Horse Galloping" obtain the "extension key" for domestic films.

Trivia!

In order to prevent the source of the film from being leaked, the copy keys set for most of the movies shown in theaters are usually only one month old.

Every movie copy, every digital projector, and every offline theater must comply with this key management regulation.

When the key expires, it means the movie has been released.

The so-called extension key means that on the basis of one month of public release, you will be given a little more time to continue screening, so as to better harvest and accumulate box office.

This extension key is not easy to get.

It can be said that 99% of domestic movies have nothing to do with this stuff. They honestly go to theaters and stay for a month, and some even only stay for half a month, and then they are kicked out.

Movies that can get extension keys are either hugely influential or have unprecedented popularity and are very popular among audiences.

Well, that's bullshit!

If the movie is not popular enough, it will be useless even if you get the extension key, because no one wants to watch it, and there is no point in continuing to stay in the theaters.

The movie "Horse" definitely meets the "key extension" criteria because the movie is very popular and has a longer screening period than ordinary movies.

So key extension is not difficult.

The real difficulty is how to convince Meihua Animation not to cause trouble and honestly postpone the release date of "Lotus Lantern".

…

Zhong Hai, Plum Blossom Animation.

As a domestic animation giant backed by Penguin and with strong financial resources, they have never suffered such grievances.

Why can’t I decide when my own movie will be released?

Sacrificing the small self to fulfill the greater self?

Gan!

Why ask them to sacrifice? Why can't we sacrifice Gu Sanshui?

Is it just because the movie "Running Horses" has exceeded 1 billion in box office in two weeks and is expected to top the domestic movie box office No. 1?

Ah, yes, yes!

You are noble, you are amazing...

Plum Blossom Animation was full of resentment. Faced with this situation where everyone asked them to sacrifice, they made it clear that they did not want to cooperate.

Wanbao has a feud with Meihua Animation!

Although the two families have never quarreled or turned against each other in public, who in the industry doesn't know that the relationship between the two families has been very tense from the beginning?

When Meihua Animation was founded, it aggressively poached Wanbao Animation. Later, it acted as a mistress and took away Red Crane Cartoon, causing Wanbao to divorce Red Crane Cartoon.

The two families have been feuding for a long time.

Under this premise, it is strange that they would be happy to let Meihua Animation sacrifice themselves to fulfill Wanbao Animation.

Gu Miao also knew that this matter was not easy to handle.

But he didn't say anything.

If Plum Blossom Animation is willing to fulfill her wish, then the previous nastiness can be wiped out. Gu Miao will no longer be angry with Plum Blossom Animation in public in the future.

If Plum Blossom Animation is unwilling to comply, there is no blame. After all, the relationship between the two families is indeed very bad. If they don't cooperate, they won't cooperate. There will be many opportunities for revenge in the future.

Everyone is waiting for news.

It has been a day and a night since Plum Blossom Animation officially announced that the movie "Lotus Lantern" will be released in advance.

During this period, there was no news from Plum Blossom Animation.

Just when Gu Miao and Du Hao felt that the other party would not give in easily and they had to prepare for the worst, the official Weibo of Meihua Animation issued a notice.

【I am so sorry! Due to technical adjustments, the movie "Lotus Lantern" originally scheduled to be released in the near future will be postponed to August. We apologize for the inconvenience caused! 】

[Repost this Weibo, Xiaomei will draw ten lucky fans and give away a limited edition signed poster of the movie "Lotus Lantern"...]

Gu Miao and Du Hao looked at each other and smiled.

I have to say that their impression of Plum Blossom Animation has changed somewhat.

Although they haven't turned enemies into friends yet, judging from the handling of this matter, Meihua Animation is indeed much more sensible than before.

Give me a peach and give me a plum!

People are giving face like this and taking the initiative to give in to achieve Wanbao Animation. Naturally, Gu Miao can't pretend not to see it.

He logged into his account, liked and forwarded Meihua Animation’s announcement with his real name.

The same goes for Du Hao.

Seeing this scene, the fans who were still complaining about Meihua Animation in the comment area and complaining about their stupidity felt like they were seeing aliens.

Yaoshou spicy!

Gu Sanshui actually liked the official Weibo of Meihua Animation? I must not have woken up, otherwise how could I have such a dream?
