My Animation Era

Gu Miao, who had just had the New Year's Eve dinner and hadn't even finished the Spring Festival Gala, suddenly received a message.

our superman...

After 10 days and 14 hours of screening, the epic blockbuster "Stellar Fall", known as the "domestic sci-fi savior", finally fell on the last night of the Year of the Tiger.

The film distributor scribbled out a "technical release" announcement.

【The theater companies and theaters:】

[The film "Starfall" released by our company, due to various indescribable technical reasons, decided to withdraw from the schedule at 23:59 tonight, and the box office will be settled normally...]

"What does it mean?"

Lao Gu, Huang Kun and others who were eating melon seeds at the side couldn't quite understand what the so-called "technical filming" meant, and they all looked at Gu Miao.

"The so-called technical film..."

Gu Miao crossed her legs and explained: "Actually, it's a euphemism. If you translate it, it probably means that the box office is too bad. We're going to switch to the Internet, TV and DVD audio-visual!"

"Is that a rush to the street?"

Old Gu pursed his lips and said, "If no one is watching, no one will be watching. There must be such an outrageous reason."

If you are in the entertainment industry, you want to save face!

Just say that the box office has been sent, how ugly is it to spread it? The term "technical release" is used very well, saving face for both the theater and the film.

"But, isn't this too fast?"

Huang Kun frowned and said, "It hasn't been two weeks since the movie was released! Normally, it wouldn't be so fast to go offline!"

"Spring Festival!"

Gu Miao reminded: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are several blockbuster movies waiting to be released!"

Theaters have limited screens.

In order to free up enough screens for new films released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, garbage films like "Stellar Fall" must be eliminated.

I can only say, too miserable!

According to Gu Miao's understanding, since the release of "Stellar Fall", the cumulative box office has barely exceeded 20 million. Among them, the box office in the first three days accounted for more than 80%.

what does that mean?

In the first three days, the box office was more than 16 million, and in the next week, the box office was only more than 4 million! This decline is simply a disaster.

Du Hao's mentality probably collapsed.

In any case, the film has a total investment of 50 to 60 million yuan, and he himself accounted for more than 40 million yuan. Such a large amount of money was exchanged for this fate...

Who can accept it?

"Ghost! This is too miserable!"

After learning about Du Hao's general loss situation from Gu Miao's mouth, Huang Kun said in shock, "From a multi-millionaire to a multi-millionaire, only one movie is needed?"

"Gambling!"

Gu Miao said with a smile: "Although nine out of ten bets lose, there are always people who think that they will be the winner."

But the fact is...

In the domestic film industry, at least 70% of the films cannot recover production costs and publicity costs, and have been in a state of loss for a long time.

This industry is too bloody.

The final winner can indeed make a lot of money. The rate of return on investment can even reach an astonishing 1000% or more.

But this is just an "example".

Most of them were like Du Hao, who came in full of confidence and left in a daze. The pool of water in the movie is far deeper than he imagined.

"Get ready."

Patting Huang Kun on the shoulder, Gu Miao encouraged: "This year's Spring Festival, we can only be a spectator. At this time next year, we will end in person."

"ah?"

Huang Kun asked in surprise, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean, we will also make a movie next year?"

"I guess so!"

Gu Miao said ambiguously.

Regarding the "big animated movie", it would be a lie to say that he didn't have the slightest idea. Whether it is "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" or "Sailor Moon", they can all be made into theater versions.

But he was not talking about these two.

Because of the "secret agreement" between him and Boss Xiong, after the Chinese New Year, Wanbao Animation will approach Feiyang Animation to jointly produce an animated film in the name of cooperation.

The tentative name of the project is: Kuiba!

Don't ask why Quebec? Instead of "The Tiger's Might", "The Year of the Rabbit", or the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon" and so on.

Asking is...

This is a "dirty" deal!

Taking advantage of short hands and soft mouths, and taking favors from Boss Xiong, you have to do things for him, right? After Gu Miao thought about it, it seemed that "Quiba" was more suitable for him.

There are two main reasons.

First, "Quiba" suffered a terrible loss. Introducing this work to Mr. Xiong is more likely to "break his dreams".

Second, the quality of "Quiba" is not bad. Although it's a "deception", but you can't use a piece of shit to fool President Xiong, right?

Xiong Tianwei is not that stupid.

Anyway, he is the boss of an animation company, so he still has basic judgment ability. If the business plan that Gu Miao came up with couldn't move his heart, how could he "throw money" into it?

So, here comes the problem.

Only when the quality is excellent and the project has a bright prospect can it attract the total investment of Xiaoxiong. But you can't make money, and you have to suffer serious losses...

"Quiba" fits the bill just right!

In terms of word-of-mouth and the quality of the completion, the gods are 100 points, the most beautiful in the world, I'm blowing it up! In terms of box office and performance... That's true, a dog would shake his head after seeing it!

The funniest thing is...

Kuiba may be one of the few animation works that cannot achieve blood recovery in the "peripheral derivatives".

It's amazing!

Gu Miao has always believed that animations like "Peking Opera Cat" that "lose money and make money" are considered "light" in the industry. It wasn't until he saw "Quiba" that he realized that there are really people who "generate electricity for love"?

Isn't it, Sir?

People's "Beijing Opera Cat" can sell mugs, dolls and other peripheral derivatives at any rate. And "Quiba" can't sell anything, and the sequel has to rely on "crowdfunding" by fans?

It can only be said that it is too miserable.

It was so miserable that even Gu Miao was a little worried. If he sacrificed this work, he wouldn't make Xiao Xiong so delirious that he would come to the door with a kitchen knife in the middle of the night to settle accounts with him, right?

Still have to make it clear in advance.

Gu Miao felt that before the cooperation was concluded, it was necessary to remind Mr. Xiong friendly: "Movies are risky, investment needs to be cautious!"

If he doesn't listen, that's his business.

It's really a loss in the end, at least Gu Miao can use this sentence as a shield to show that he has reminded her. If you don't listen to advice, you can't blame others.

"Do bears always fall for it?"

After learning about Gu Miao's evil plan through WeChat, Ma Kui, who was still in his hometown, couldn't help asking: "Although this project looks good, the risk is high after all!"

"Based on what I know about him..."

Gu Miao said firmly: "He will definitely agree to this cooperation proposal. At that time, you will be responsible for connecting with Feiyang Animation, understand?"

"..."

Ma Kui sent a series of ellipses.

With his cleverness and wit, how can he not see that Mr. Gu is planning to make him a "back-up guy".

The question is... can he say no?
