My Animation Era

  Summer vacation needs a hero.

   But it's a pity that "Bears of the Lost Treasure" can't become this hero, at most it can only become a bear.

  Because in the second week, after the cumulative box office exceeded the one billion mark, the growth rate of the box office has already begun to decline, and it is obvious that the potential is insufficient.

  1.2 billion, 1.4 billion...

  As box office growth slowed down and attendance continued to drop, theaters also lowered the number of screenings for "Bear the Treasure" starting from the third week.

  Combining the above factors, when the film entered the fourth week of screening, the box office could barely break through 1.5 billion, barely reaching the company's expected goal.

"I'm coming!"

  As the time came to the end of July, Gu Miao became very excited, because that movie came, and it appeared on stage with a stereo.

  At first, no one paid attention.

  Even if this movie achieved the "box office over 100 million" achievement within just four hours of its release, and the box office broke through 300 million in one day, causing a frenzy of discussions on the entire Internet, no one would think that there was anything wrong.

  Only in the eyes of those film practitioners can they understand the gold content of breaking 100 million in four hours and cutting 300 million in one day.

   "This... this is too outrageous!"

   Du Hao, who originally scoffed at Mr. Gu's statement, saw the amazing premiere performance of "Wolf Warrior 2", and was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

   "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

  Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief: "If you didn't listen to me and let Bing of the Treasure meet with this movie, do you think Bing of the Treasure can still have a box office of 1.5 billion?"

   "Definitely not!"

   "Don't say 1.5 billion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even make 100 million at the box office in the same period as this thing..."

  Du Hao's eyes were filled with the joy of surviving after the catastrophe. Even if he had more confidence, seeing his astonishing 300 million box office results in a single day, he was now discouraged.

   Breaking through 100 million in four hours, 300 million in a single day!

   What a brilliant premiere score this is? At this rate of growth, how long will it take to break 500 million? Breaking one billion? How much box office will it have by the time it is released?

   "It's hard to say, maybe it will be 500 million today, and it will be 1 billion tomorrow."

  Gu Miao shook her head, and said with a hint of uncertainty: "As for the final box office... If there is no external force, it may start at 3 billion! If there is external force, then 5 billion is not impossible."

   "External force?"

   "Yes, external factors!"

  Gu Miao didn't explain anything, but just took Du Hao to the theater to watch "Wolf Warrior 2" on the spot, Du Hao understood after watching it.

  The patriotic enthusiasm of the people!

  Don’t underestimate this factor. Without this blessing, Wolf Warrior 2 might be a great movie, but the box office will definitely not reach the height of the first in mainland movie history.

   This is also the main reason why Gu Miao chose to release "Bears of the Lost Treasure" ahead of schedule to avoid a collision with it.

  Be reasonable.

   Without the blessing of this halo, no matter how powerful Wolf Warrior 2 is, there is no need to be afraid of "Bears of the Lost Treasure" as an animated film.

  But with the blessing of this halo, it is impossible for anyone to block and kill gods and Buddhas!

  Let’s not talk about the Treasure Bear Soldier, if it’s the more famous “Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World” to compete with it, in the almost fanatical atmosphere of the whole people, I’m afraid it may not be able to withstand it.

   Obviously, the hero of this summer vacation has been born!

Facing the menacing "Wolf Warrior 2", other films were almost powerless to fight back, and they were easily crushed into scum, including "Bears of the Lost Treasure", which was released in the fourth week. .

   "Okay, stop watching!"

  When the box office of Wolf Warriors 2 exceeded 1.2 billion, Gu Miao told Du Hao that the movie "Bears of the Lost Treasure" could be released.

  What are you still doing?

  Although safflower also needs green leaves to set off, this safflower is so dazzling that the light covers everything, making people completely ignore the existence of green leaves.

   Rather than relying on the cinema to witness other people's brilliance, it is better to release it early and move to Wanbao Video website to earn some membership money.

   "There is no need to pay attention to the follow-up."

   "August, September, or even October are estimated to be the reigning period of this movie. Just wait and see. The final box office will definitely shock everyone's jaws."

  Gu Miao made a bold judgment.

  In his words, it is almost certain that the film will get the postponement key. No one knows how high the box office will be under the premise that the postponement is certain.

  The original version is 5.6 billion, but in this parallel world, who knows if it will be higher?

  …

  The movie "Wolf Warrior 2" swept the country, setting off a frenzy of moviegoers, and the box office also repeatedly broke records.

   But it has nothing to do with Gu Miao.

  With the end of the premiere of the animation "Yangcun Guardian" and the start of the rebroadcast of CCTV Children's, the focus of his work is also on the upcoming "Go Boy".

   Capital, Chess Academy.

   This is not the first time Gu Miao has come to the capital. As a representative of a company in the cultural and entertainment industry, he often comes to the capital for meetings.

   But this is the first time he has come to the China National Chess Academy. To be precise, this is the first time he has come into contact with the leading figures of Go in China.

  The person in charge of the Go Academy was very interested in learning that Wanbao Animation wanted to make a TV animation about "Go".

  As soon as Gu Miao came to visit, he enthusiastically took him to visit various departments of the chess academy, and introduced to him many famous Go players and active Siege professional players stationed in the chess academy.

   "Everyone is very young!"

  Gu Miao was a little surprised.

   To be honest, before he came to the chess academy, he thought that all the professional players in the Go world were old men with white beards and hair.

   Who knew that he would only find out after he came here, how could it be as exaggerated as he thought?

  Of course there are old men, but there is no shortage of young people in the chess academy. One of them is a young man who has won many world championships and is now recognized as the number one player in Go.

"Hello!"

"Nice to meet you!"

  Gu Miao shook hands with the world champion. Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, she whispered to the person in charge of the chess academy next to him, "Is he...doesn't welcome me?"

   "Don't get me wrong, Xiao Ke has always been like this."

  The vice president of the Chess Academy quickly explained: "Since losing to that artificial intelligence last year, Xiao Ke has become like this, Mr. Gu, don't think too much about it."

   Is that blackening?

   Good world champion, how could he be hit like this by artificial intelligence?

  Gu Miao stared at the young man, suddenly thought of something, couldn't help asking: "Can I invite him to be a consultant?"

"this…"

  The vice president hesitated and said: "For Xiao Ke, I have to ask his opinion."

  At Gu Miao's request, the vice president took the young man surnamed Ke aside for a chat, as if asking for his own opinion.

  Seeing that the two of them could not come to a conclusion after a long chat, Gu Miao simply said to the secretary: "You go and tell them that Wanbao is willing to provide a special consultant with a salary of 1 million yuan."

  He already knew it.

  Although there are many games in the Go world and a lot of income, compared with other competitive sports, the income level is still much lower.

  Let’s not talk about traditional sports, even compared with new things like e-sports, the income of top professional players is not at the same level.

  In this case, let’s spend money!

  Uncle Gu doesn’t have much else, but the money is really rich. He can earn one million as a special consultant. He believes that it is difficult for a Go player to refuse.

   But it's hard to say...

   What if this world champion has arrogance, feels that he is the number one in the world, and doesn't like Gu Miao's vulgar way of throwing money at others?

  When Gu Miao sat in the tea room waiting for the result of the communication with anxiety, the secretary came back soon.

   "Mr. Gu, he agreed."

   "So refreshing?"

  Gu Miao was a little bit astonished. Fortunately, he still put aside the worry that the world champion was too high-minded, or that the other party was not happy because the money was too little. He did not expect that the other party nodded as soon as the offer came out.

  Miscalculation!

   The promise was so forthright, and it seemed that the money was enough. If I knew it, I would have asked for a lower price, so that I could invite a few more world champions.

  But all the words have been said, and it is useless to regret it now.

   Fortunately, a mere one million is not a problem for Wanbao. Before coming here, Gu Miao was mentally prepared for a hemorrhage. After all, Go is so high, the world champion must not look down on small money.

  The matter is settled.

  Xiao Ke also had an in-depth exchange with Gu Miao, and got a general understanding of the planning and setting of the animation "Go Boy".

  The two parties agreed that when the animation started to be produced, he would take the high-speed train to Jiangchuan to meet Gu Miao and give the animation professional advice on Go.

  Why not go now?

  Of course it is because there is a key game in the near future, and Xiao Ke, who is the world champion, cannot be absent, so he can't go.

   Speaking of competitions, Gu Miao seemed to be very interested in Go-related competitions, so she asked the vice president and Xiao Ke to find out.

   After asking, he found out that most of the games in the Go world are held in the form of corporate sponsorship.

   "Then Wanbao can also make one?"

   "Yes! As long as you are willing to pay a bonus, of course you can name an event!" The vice president was very supportive.

   There are few games in the Go circle, and it is rare for a sponsor to be interested in Go, and has the idea of ​​sponsoring an event. The Chess Institute must strongly support it.

  The popularity of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" gave birth to the Wanbao Cup National Competition, and the animation "Go Boy" under preparation will definitely set off a Go boom.

  So Gu Miao planned to sponsor a Go tournament in the name of Wanbao.

  But his idea is different from that of Qiyuan.

  The Chess Academy wanted him to sponsor a relatively high-level, more professional competition, but Gu Miao wanted to face young people, so that he would be in line with the positioning of a "Go boy".

   "Teenagers? That's okay too..."

  Although I don't understand why Gu Miao has to sponsor the youth Go competition, it is a good thing that he is willing to sponsor, and the chess academy has no reason to object.

  However, the deputy dean still reminded Gu Miao that if a youth Go competition is held, there may be a problem of "a serious shortage of players", and one must be mentally prepared for this.

   "It's okay, don't do it now."

   "After the animation "Go Boys" is broadcast, I think many children will learn Go spontaneously, and there will be no shortage of players by then." Gu Miao made up her mind.

  He has thought it all over.

  The full name of the competition is Wanbao Cup National Youth Go Competition, which is mainly for young people under the age of 16, and will be divided into different groups according to age and gender.

  As long as the animation "Go Boy" is broadcast, there will be a wave of learning and playing Go all over the country, if nothing else.

   There must be no shortage of players in the previous sessions.

   As for the latter, it depends on the operation of the event.

  If it runs as well as the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament, and the popularity of the event has been raised, then it can continue to be held.

  If the popularity of the event does not increase, and the influence is getting smaller and smaller, it will be canceled after a few sessions. Anyway, there is no big loss.

  When she left the Chess Academy, Gu Miao was about to visit Director Wang.

   Who knew that as soon as he left the gate of the Chess Academy, he turned around and ran into Director Fu of the Tennis Center. He came to the Chess Academy to find Gu Miao after receiving the news.

   "President Gu, has your company encountered any difficulties?"

  After seeing Gu Miao, Director Fu's first sentence was to give him a hard time.

   Having trouble?

  Gu Miao couldn't figure it out, Wanbao was developing very well, why did it encounter difficulties? Where is the difficulty?

   "Then why didn't you make the third season of "The Prince of Tennis"?"

  Director Fu said his reason for coming.

  He told Gu Miao that the hit of the first two seasons of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" had received an enthusiastic response among primary and middle school students, causing countless children to start practicing and learning tennis, making tennis flourish all over the country.

   This is a great thing with infinite merit!

  But the third season of "The Prince of Tennis" has not been released for a long time, and the popularity of the first two seasons has gradually decreased, so Director Fu became anxious.

  So he came to Gu Miao to inquire about the third season of "The Prince of Tennis" animation, and said that if Wanbao had any difficulties, they could provide some help.

  Gu Miao: "..."

  The third season of Wang Wang, also known as the so-called U17 World Cup chapter, has been arranged in the company, but it has not been announced.

   Unexpectedly, it was not the fans who were most anxious, but the tennis center.

   "Don't worry, there will be."

  Gu Miao smiled and said, "It's just that I've been busy recently, so I can't take care of it. Director Fu, don't worry, there will definitely be a third season in a while."

   "How can I not worry?"

   "We have been paying attention to the animation Prince of Tennis. We look forward to arousing more children's love for tennis through animation..."

   This is the truth.

  Development to the present, "The Prince of Tennis" is no longer an ordinary animation, but a banner, leading countless children to learn the enlightenment of tennis.

  If one day, Wanbao Animation announces that "The Prince of Tennis" will be discontinued or ended, the most anxious people will definitely not be the ordinary fans, but the people in the Tennis Center.

   Regarding this point, Gu Miao was also very helpless.

   "The Prince of Tennis" can have such a big influence. To be honest, he must be happy, but besides being happy, he can't help but feel a headache.

  After finishing u17, Wang Wang is almost at the top.

  After this series, unless it is a restart, it is difficult to produce a new sequel. After all, the story is all about the U17 World Cup, who is willing to go back and watch the national competition?

  Longma was promoted to the second and third year of junior high school, led Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School to defend the championship, and achieved three consecutive championships in the national competition!

  Be reasonable...

  Ryoma has gone to the world stage to shine, and has been selected for the national team. Do you think it is realistic to let him come back to play in the national competition?
