My Animation Era

Gu Miao was numb.

As soon as he received the invitation from Du Hao, he put down his work and went to Zhonghai to attend the premiere of the movie "Stellar Fall".

As a result...

what did he see

In order to save "cost" and production cycle, the "special effects scenes" and "stinky and long" literary plots were greatly cut.

Isn't this disgusting person!

The effect of the film is completely different from the script he had read at the beginning.

The "big scene" mentioned in the script did not appear at all. The "Alien Fleet", the core of the film, never even showed its face once.

Science fiction?

There are not even a few special effects shots, and they have been talking about how the protagonist quarreled with his ex-wife, recalled the past, and then "reunited". It is more reasonable to say that this is a "romance movie" than a science fiction movie.

"So disappointed I knock!"

Huang Kun, who accompanied Gu Miao to attend the premiere, couldn't help muttering after watching, "I'm so stupid after watching it. Where's the alien fleet?"

really!

Everyone rushed to buy tickets to watch the movie in the name of "the savior of domestic science fiction", but they didn't see the science fiction, but were fed a mouthful of dog food by the hero and heroine. Who can accept this?

It's not just Gu Miao.

In fact, most of the people who attended the premiere had similar thoughts. I feel that the movie "Stellar Fall" is a bit "selling dog meat".

Word of mouth exploded at the premiere.

Just like a well-known film critic left a message on social networks: If you want to watch science fiction movies, then "Stellar Fall" will probably disappoint you! If you're looking for romance, this movie isn't the best choice either.

Box office statistics have not been updated.

But Gu Miao heard that many theaters have already started to complain that the attendance rate of this movie is not high, and the screening rate needs to be lowered.

This is the first day of the show!

have to say……

Even before this, Gu Miao had predicted that "Stellar Fall" directed by Du Hao would not have any good results. But he really didn't expect that the final product would be like this.

At first he thought.

A "sci-fi" movie made in four or five months may have terrible special effects, probably not even as good as "Fortress of China Sea", after all, the time is too short.

But Du Hao is really a clever ghost!

He probably also understands that the special effects are limited by time, so it should be impossible to do well. Then simply cut off the special effects lens, wouldn't the problem be solved?

"You're so smart..."

After the premiere, Gu Miao saw Du Hao with a haggard face, and praised with a thumbs up: "This is the first time I've seen such a sci-fi film."

"Laugh if you want to."

Du Hao shook his head and explained: "I really underestimated the amount of money needed to make a sci-fi movie, so this kind of problem can arise."

He did his best.

It is indeed lack of financial resources, there is no way to make so many special effects shots. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not spend his "own" money to make a movie.

This is simply a bottomless pit!

"Do you think I want to release it so soon? It's not that I was forced to do nothing!"

Du Hao said helplessly: "The crew has no money, and they almost can't afford lunch for the extras. If it doesn't show up again, I'm afraid the movie hasn't finished filming, so I'll go to the flyover to beg for food first."

"Ah this..."

When he said this, Gu Miao understood a little bit. It turned out that the few special effects shots and the short production cycle were all due to Du Hao's lack of money.

There is really no way.

It can only be said that whether it is a movie director, a TV drama director, or even an animation director, it is best not to use your own money to make movies unless it is absolutely necessary.

No, Du Hao was fooled!

"learn from mistakes."

Gu Miao comforted her, "From now on, you will receive your wages honestly and get a share. Don't think about investing yourself. The film circle is too deep, you can't grasp it..."

"Then you're still involved?"

Du Hao rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that you asked for several movie distributors at the premiere, as well as the contact information of theater representatives."

"Wanbao also wants to make a movie?"

"En." Gu Miao nodded.

This is no secret, it doesn't matter to tell Du Hao.

Anyway, Wanbao will get involved sooner or later in the area of ​​animated films. Contacting the distributors and theaters now is also to establish a good relationship in advance to facilitate future admission.

"Pity."

Du Hao sighed and said: "You are engaged in animation, not live-action movies. Otherwise, if I can't afford to eat someday, I can still go to you."

"Welcome!"

Gu Miao, who had been waiting for him to say this, clapped her hands and laughed, "Wanbao doesn't make live-action movies, but live-action TV series, online dramas, and stage plays are fine!"

"Huh? TV series?"

Du Hao wondered: "It's so good, why do you want to make a live-action TV series? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Wanbao's business, does it?"

"Who said there is no connection?"

"Do you remember "Sailor Moon"? I mentioned to you before, the magical girl theme animation broadcast on Neon!"

Gu Miao explained: "I discussed it with Ma Kui, and I think this animation can be remade into a live-action drama."

Live-action Sailor Moon?

Hearing this appalling idea, Du Hao subconsciously thought it was nonsense, there are already animations, why remake a live-action drama? Can real people be as beautiful as two-dimensional paper people?

But think about it...

This seems to be not impossible!

Many magical girl-themed animations have been remade into live-action dramas, and there are many successful cases among them. Gu Miao had this idea, which made logical sense.

"you mean……"

Du Hao hesitated and said, "Do you want me to help you film this live-action version of "Sailor Moon"?"

"That's right!"

Gu Miao said sincerely: "You are very talented, but this kind of talent is not suitable for movies. TV dramas may be a good stage, what do you think?"

He also watched Starfall.

It is undeniable that this is indeed a failed movie. But the composition of the picture is great, the camera language is very subtle, Du Hao is indeed capable in filming.

Therefore, he will send out the invitation.

"Let me think about it."

Du Hao didn't agree, nor did he directly refuse, he just said: ""Stellar Fall" has just been released, and no one can tell what will happen in the future."

to be honest.

He still doesn't give up on live-action movies, and believes that "Stellar Fall" still has hope of turning around.

Not to mention a complete turnaround to recover the production cost, as long as the box office can make him pay back a mouthful of blood, and he won't go to the street to beg for food, he will not easily transform into a live-action version of "Sailor Moon".

Regarding this, Gu Miao did not force it.

From his point of view, Du Hao is not willing to give up until the Yellow River, and the current persistence is nothing but a meaningless struggle.

Anyone can see it.

In this Lunar New Year file, "Stellar Fall" is definitely the first movie to be out. If it was shot like this ghost, the box office results must be very dismal.

Talk to him again in a month, and he will definitely not refuse.
