My Animation Era

 It is impossible to have a baby kiss, and it is impossible to arrange a baby kiss in this life.

This is ridiculous!

Gu Miao does not need to use Xiao Sensen's future marriage to achieve any purpose. It is impossible for him to agree to the marriage.

And to say the least, even if it is a marriage, it still has to be judged whether it is qualified or not!

　What class are you worthy of marriage?

 In terms of her son's future, Gu Miao would at most interfere in his career, preferring to let him take over.

 But in terms of marriage, it is impossible for him to interfere. Even if Xiao Sensen finds him a very unreliable daughter-in-law, he will not say anything.

 After all, you choose your own path.

 He ​​respects Xiao Sensen's opinion. If Xiao Sensen really likes the girl, even if he objects to it, he will not use his parents' authority to beat the mandarin duck.

“If you really don’t like your daughter-in-law, at worst we can just live our own lives!”

Gu Miao said to his daughter-in-law: "Don't get involved in this matter. My son will find a partner in the future. What he likes is the most important. Whether we like her or not is not important."

"I see."

Coco nodded, then rolled his eyes and said, "But isn't it too early for you to say this? How old is our son?"

 “It’s getting late, it’s getting late!”

"Isn't this a plan for a rainy day? We should show our attitude in advance to avoid getting confused when we get old and causing our son to turn against us." Gu Miao laughed.

 Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!

 Gu Miao has always had this attitude. He just wants Xiao Sensen to take over. As for him, after he takes over, it is not his business.

 Perhaps at that time, Gu Miao will take Coco to travel around the world, or he may find a place with a nice environment to live in the countryside, grow flowers and plants, and go fishing in his free time...

“You haven’t reached forty yet, and you are already thinking about your life after retirement?” Coco joked.

 “What’s wrong with being forty?”

"Who stipulates that you can't retire at the age of forty? Let me tell you, Xiao Sensen is not old yet, otherwise I would want to retire now." Gu Miao shook her head.

 Of course, this is a joke.

 Gu Miao wants to retire, but she won’t be able to retire completely before she turns 50. After all, at this time, Xiao Sensen had just entered elementary school.

 At least wait until he graduates from college, right?

 There’s still a wait!

After the funeral of Mr. Xiong, Gu Miao came to the newly established Wanbao Pictures and asked about the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D".

 The results were not surprising.

 Havoc in Heaven is indeed the pinnacle of Chinese animation many years ago. Even after so long, there are still people who remember this work and are willing to pay for the 3D remake.

　　The number exceeded 100 million at the premiere and 200 million the next day!

In just two days, the box office reached an extremely terrifying 416 million yuan, ranking first in the same period.

This has also greatly boosted the confidence of Wanbao Pictures. After all, the box office performance is so good, it is not difficult to recover the cost and make a lot of money.

 The only problem is.

　　The bloodiest Spring Festival is coming soon. Movies may face the impact of a large wave of new films, and attendance and film schedules may decline by then.

"fine!"

 Gu Miao smiled and comforted: "I have watched all the new movies released during the Spring Festival this year. There is basically no threat. Havoc in Heaven is still invincible."

What’s more, it’s only the end of the year.

 There are still two months until the Spring Festival, so you may not be able to get the extension key for the 3D remake of Upheaval in Heaven. Without the extension key, there would be no new films scheduled for the Spring Festival.

 So their worries are unnecessary.

Instead of worrying about the new Spring Festival movies in the future, it is better to think about how to get the extension key!

 …

 The 3D remake of Upheaval in Heaven is different from the hand-drawn original version many years ago.

 This is also a conclusion that many movie fans came to after going to watch it.

Although they are both about the story of Sun Wukong causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, one is hand-drawn animation, one is computer animation, one is 2D and the other is 3D. The difference in look and feel is very obvious.

 This also brings up a problem.

That is to say, many people are criticizing American Film Studio, saying that they are not enterprising and made the remake of Upheaval like this.

　　What a disappointment!

 Everyone has high expectations for the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D", and it is produced by American Film Studio. Everyone feels that this movie is as good as the original version.

Looking at the results, what is not inferior to the original version? Is this thing really made by the American Film Studio?

 It’s not that it doesn’t look good!

 It must be good-looking. After all, so much time and money have been spent, and I don’t dare to release it for release if I don’t have the skills.

But the biggest embarrassment of this movie is that it has a predecessor, and the predecessor is very classic. After watching the remake, the audience will inevitably compare it with the original version.

 It’s okay not to compare. In this comparison, the 3D remake is indeed a bit less interesting.

 Many people don’t understand.

They only know that during that difficult economic period, Meiying Studio was able to produce such a classic "Havoc in Heaven" just by hand-painting.

 Why is it that now, with no shortage of money and extremely powerful computer CG technology, we are unable to create classics?

 Shouldn’t each generation become stronger than the previous generation? Why is it that after so many years at Meiying Factory, our strength has declined?

 “I really wronged the American Film Studio.”

“First of all, we at Wanbao made the animation, and Meiying Studio only provided help, not the main force in production.”

 Gu Miao shook her head and sighed: "Secondly, the American Film Studio has a serious shortage of talent. Even if you have money, you can't make classic animations."

“What you said makes sense, but...the audience doesn’t know!”

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "They only know that American Film Studio was able to produce such a classic "Havoc in Heaven" even though it was so difficult a few decades ago, why has its level dropped now?"

 This is what is called a different perspective.

 The audience does not know the current situation of American Film Studio. In their eyes, American Film Studio is still the Asian animation mecca where big bosses gather.

 The remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D" is very good and worthy of the ticket price. It is also one of the more worth-watching animated movies in recent years.

But this is making a big fuss in heaven!

 Decades ago, American Film Studios could tighten their belts and make classic masterpieces like "Havoc in Heaven" even if they had no money or people. Why can't they do it now?

 This is also the reason why many viewers do not have high evaluations of the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D".

As for the movie itself, everyone thinks it's okay and there's nothing major wrong with it. I recommend you to go see it. It's definitely worth the price of admission.

But if American Film Studio has been holding back such a thing for so many years, many people are dissatisfied and feel that their production capabilities have deteriorated.

It is very contradictory.

While everyone is criticizing the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D", they are also giving this movie to friends and relatives.

 Don’t ask, asking is a split personality.

I recommend it to you, and you can criticize it after watching it. The movie itself is good, but the mistake is that this is not a new film released by American Film Studio after many years.

If you say this is Wanbao's new movie, then no one will complain so much. After all, everyone knows what Gu Sanshui's strength is, and it is already very good to make it like this.

But this movie was produced by American Film Studio!

 …

 American Film Studio was scolded miserably. But they don’t care. After all, there are more voices praising them than scolding them.

Especially for the older generation, if you can still see the 3D remake of "Havoc in Heaven" at this age, you will have no regrets in life.

Perhaps the only dissatisfaction with American Film Studio is that some people say that the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D" is Wanbao's movie, not American Film Studio's film.

 “Pure rumors!”

American Film Studio has never been so excited to be pointed at and scolded. They were questioned about the copyright ownership of the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D", but they couldn't sit still.

They immediately issued a clarification announcement, stating that although Wanbao participated in the production of "Havoc in Heaven 3D", it is definitely a work of American Film Studio. Please do not spread rumors!

 “Ah, yes, yes!”

　　When the agreement was signed, Gu Miao also knew how to protect the face of Meiying Studio, so she came forward to clarify the matter, saying that it had nothing to do with Wanbao.

certainly!

It doesn’t matter on the surface, but privately it’s hard to say whose account the box office split should go to.

Anyway, Gu Miao is a more realistic person. He values ​​real money more than illusory fame and fortune.

 If American Film Studio wants reputation, then give it to them!

  Anyway, the Wanbao family has a great business and is not short of this reputation. But when it comes to actual interests, such as box office splitting and peripheral derivatives development, we can't let it go.

  The movie "Havoc in Heaven 3D" has been promoted very hard by American Film Studio.

Not only did they shout out everywhere, but they also persuaded the official media to help promote it. It seems to be regarded as an outstanding animation work of the new era of American Film Studio.

 Gu Miao said that it was understandable for them to do this, but she felt very sorry for it.

 It’s really in decline!

If it was the American Film Studio that was at its peak decades ago, would it need to be so humble? At that time, American Film Studio's animations had no worries about popularity.

But times have changed.

Meiying Studio, which is gradually falling from the altar, also needs to use some off-site help to promote their new works.

 “Forget it, leave them alone.”

 Gu Miao, who was counting money until his hands cramped up, didn't bother to care about how the American Film Studio promoted it. Anyway, the more publicity, the higher the box office of the movie, and the more he earned.

He wishes that the American Film Studio would use their connections to build publicity for "Havoc in Heaven 3D" and let people across the country know about this movie!

On the one hand, the higher the popularity of the movie, the more money Wanbao Animation can get, and the better the sales of peripheral derivatives.

 On the other hand, it is also the most important point! The essence of the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D" is actually the preview trailer of "Journey to the West 3D".

This movie is a hit. The more people know about it, the better it will be for "Journey to the West 3D" that Ma Kui is currently producing, which means that this animation can become popular before it is broadcast.

 This is a great thing!

You must know that "Journey to the West 3D" is an animation work that Wanbao has high hopes for. If it can take advantage of this trend to become popular, it will definitely be one of the most popular animation works in the history of domestic animation.

Unfortunately…

 The progress of the "Journey to the West 3D" project is too slow. Until now, it has only reached 60% of the progress, which is still far from completion.

  Otherwise, after the movie is released, if the TV version of "Journey to the West 3D" animation is announced to be broadcast, it will definitely receive extremely high attention and ratings.

 “Just wait another year.”

Ma Kui was also helpless.

"Journey to the West 3D" has too many areas that need to be polished, and the production difficulty is not low. There will definitely be no chance of it this year.

There is some hope next year. Not to mention that it will be completely completed, but at least it will be able to communicate with Mr. Gu and prove that they are not speculating.

 “It’s okay, take your time.”

Gu Miao also knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Ma Kui can just do it slowly. It's not like he can't afford to wait for just one year.

Moreover.

his progress is already relatively fast. In comparison, the progress of the fantasy world 3A game produced by Xiaolin is slow.

It has been almost a year, and this game has just produced a few materials, and the rest has not been touched...

"Oh my god! I've made this thing this year, so if I have to finish it completely, I can't start it in five or six years?" Ma Kui said in surprise.

  You only made a few character materials and story backgrounds in one year. Is the development of AAA games so slow?

"Roughly the same!"

Gu Miao didn’t deny it either.

As far as he knows, the development of well-known 3A games at home and abroad generally follows this kind of progress. If you get results within a year or two, who do you think you are?

 The development cycle for AAA masterpieces is generally around five years, and some even approach ten years.

 This is a quite long cycle.

　　In the three years that Xiao Lin promised Gu Miao, he would probably produce a demo at most.

 As for the official version, it will take at least four years, and it will take at least three years to start...

 Perhaps this is the reason why no one is willing to do domestic 3A.

 The investment return cycle is too long.

Such a lot of money would have been multiplied several times if invested in other games. If you make mobile games that earn money, you can earn dozens of times.

As a result, it was used as a 3A project, and there was no response for several years. If it was ignored by the market after the release, it would not make any money and would result in a lot of losses.

certainly!

  Cases of 3A losing money are rare. Players’ support for this type of game is quite high. Generally speaking, they make money. The difference is just that they make more or less.

 It’s just that the efficiency of 3A in making money is too low.

 It takes tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to invest, dozens or hundreds of people, and it takes five or six years to create a AAA masterpiece. Assuming that a game sells for $60, at least 5 million copies must be sold to avoid losing money.

 Turtle!

If I had this money and invested it in other industries, I would have made a lot of money!

 This is Gu Miao's truest thought, and it is also the main reason why he did not agree with Wanbao Games to produce a 3A masterpiece at the beginning.

If Wanbao Games had not provided Wanbao Animation with a "Mobile Suit Gundam" project, Gu Miao would not have agreed to Xiaolin's request and approved them to produce a 3A masterpiece.

so far so good!

With the project "Mobile Suit Gundam" as the backbone, it doesn't matter if this AAA masterpiece developed by Wanbao Games fails.

 Sell a few more Gundam models, you can recoup any cost and make a lot of money!

 From this perspective…

 Gu Miao approved Wanbao Games’ 3A project and had no regrets from the beginning. After all, she got “Mobile Suit Gundam”.

With this IP alone, it’s not too much to top ten AAA games, right? To put it bluntly, the value of this IP far exceeds the revenue that a 3A game can bring.

 With Gundam here, Wanbao Games can engage in 3A without any worries.

Let alone four to five years, forty to fifty years is probably enough. Anyway, Mr. Gu and Gundam are here to take care of everything, so what are you afraid of?
