My Animation Era

  Chapter 20 Wolf Sheep Brawl

  Gu Miao is still hesitating.

  He wants to reform the toy factory and turn it into a manufacturing base for peripheral derivatives of "Wolf Castle Animation".

  The first thing to do is to cut off the product line that does not make money, and devote all our efforts to the IP development of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

  Forget about other products...

  Soft rubber chess, although the sales volume is not high and it does not make money, but the market reputation is excellent, so it is a pity to stop production like this.

The key is.

  Among the classic animations in Gu Miao's memory, there are many animations with chess and card themes such as "Soul of Chess", "Youth Go" and "King of Chess".

  This also means that sooner or later, he will get involved in peripheral derivatives of "chess".

   This piece is quite promising.

   It's just the wrong time...

  After thinking about it seriously, Gu Miao came to a conclusion: the production line of chess products can be kept, but there can be no more "soft rubber chess".

   "Then produce Go?"

  Director He said with a bitter face: "The sales volume of Go toys seems to be worse than that of chess?"

   "No! Go is not good."

   "If you want to increase sales and change the current situation that chess toys cannot make ends meet, there is only one way to do it, and that is to use IP popularity."

  Worried that Director He would not understand, Gu Miao explained in detail: "For example, the animation of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, how do you think it will be linked with chess toys?"

Happy sheep? Board games?

  How do these two link?

   Director He, who really couldn't figure out where the linkage point is, couldn't help asking: "Mr. Gu, can you explain in more detail? I still don't quite understand."

   "How easy!"

  Gu Miao drew a horizontal line on the ground with her toes, and explained: "There is a river in the middle of chess, and there is also a river in front of the iron gate of Yangcun..."

   On the left is Wolf Castle, and on the right is Yangcun.

  The sheep and wolves act as pawns and fight on the chessboard called "Qingqing Grassland".

  If the sheep clan wants to win, they must occupy Wolf Castle, and if the wolf clan wants to win, they must break through Yangcun. Considering the specificity of each character, some "special skills" can be given to them.

  For example, Pleasant Goat is clever and quick-witted, and can “advance” over wolf pawns, and Wizard Wolf is good at witchcraft, so it can avoid death once…

  In addition to the sheep and wolves, there are many neutral camp animals on the Qingqing Grassland.

  For example, Mr. Baobao, who sits in the air prison, can return the dead chess pieces to the chessboard by "guessing punches".

  Specific gameplay!

  Refer to chess and military chess, etc., and just formulate a new rule system. There is no need to achieve "absolute balance", as long as it is fun and attractive.

  Once it is done, it will be heated up with the heat of Pleasant Goat.

  In the future, Gu Miao may offer a high bonus to promote the development of professional competitive games, or even create related derivative games.

   The future is bright!

   "Okay! I see."

  Director He was very optimistic about this proposal, and was about to send someone to follow the instructions to design the first version of the chessboard and chess pieces, when he suddenly thought of a problem.

   "Mr. Gu, do you have a good name for this board toy?"

name?

   Directly using the name "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is a bit rude and a mouthful. Gu Miao thought about it carefully, and decided to name it—Wolf Sheep Random Fighting Chess!

Not nice?

   It's not important, just keep it simple.

   Accompanied by Supervisor He, he visited all the major workshops. After carefully understanding the current situation of Wanzhibao Toy Factory, Gu Miao invited Mr. Du to have a meal.

   It was to see him off.

  Selling the toy factory, Mr. Du, who is determined to join the film industry, has already bought a plane ticket to the capital.

   "Stellar Fall"!

   This is the name of the movie that Du Hao revealed to Gu Miao. The director is himself, and the starring lineup has not yet been determined. He is hesitating whether to invite big-name actor to join.

"just forget it."

   Picking up a piece of meat and putting it in her mouth, Gu Miao kindly reminded: "Your money is not too much, and it is better to spend the bulk of it on special effects. If you can save the salary, you can save it."

   "By the way, is it convenient for me to read the script?"

"of course can."

  As soon as she got the paper script, Gu Miao couldn't wait to read it.

  He originally thought that Du Hao was so confident, not to mention how wonderful and shocking this script was, at least it wouldn't be too bad.

result…

  The title of the film is so magnificent, but the content is a vulgar alien invasion scene that "dogs will shake their heads when they see it".

  The general plot is:

  In 208X AD, an astronomer and the protagonist of the story observed a star suddenly aging rapidly, as if its "life force" was emptied in an instant.

  After his observation report was submitted, it did not attract attention.

  But the protagonist is the protagonist after all, and soon noticed that something was wrong. There were UFOs near this "dead" star.

  Then, the protagonist and several like-minded friends launched an investigation.

  Finally they found out that this is an alien fleet! The aliens provide energy for the jump engine by extracting stellar matter. And the next stop the fleet passed was...the solar system!

  In order to save the sun from being destroyed by the "passing" alien fleet, the protagonist and his friends came up with a "deception" plan, letting the sun "fake death" to deceive the aliens...

  Lonely hero, save the world!

have to say.

   This movie probably has nothing to do with it, unless Du Hao is willing to spend a lot of money and directly fill it up with special effects, then maybe there is a way out.

   But special effects are expensive.

  Gu Miao didn't think that with Du Hao's financial resources, he could produce the shocking visual effect that the script wanted to present.

"How about it?"

  When Gu Miao handed back the script, Du Hao couldn't help asking: "Is it shocking? I'm right, this is the hope of domestic science fiction films!"

   "Ah yes yes yes!"

  Gu Miao nodded again and again and said, "I admire President Du's talent very much. Among other things, I will be the first to buy tickets after this movie is released!"

   "It's my duty to support domestic sci-fi blockbusters! Isn't it easy for me to make billions at the box office?"

   "Brothers Sanshui..."

  Hearing these words, Du Hao was very moved. If Gu Miao hadn't stubbornly stopped him, he would have planned to burn incense and pay homage to Guan Gong, and they would have become brothers with different surnames on the spot.

   This startled Gu Miao.

   Sworn worship or something is absolutely not allowed!

  In case this movie hits the street, he said to the media reporter: "Although I fell down, my second brother is invincible! Sooner or later, he will realize my dream for me..."

  That would be a bad thing!

  He was just lip service.

   Really let him learn from Du Hao and spend his own money to shoot some high-risk sci-fi blockbuster. Isn't that a toilet with a lantern, looking for death!

   "Stellar Fall?"

  Looking at the drunken Du Hao beside him, Gu Miao shook her head lightly.

  This movie will probably be cool!

   It doesn't mean that if the script is poorly written, the movie must be poorly shot. He just simply thinks that Du Hao is not suitable for this kind of movie.

   With his self-confidence in Secondary 2, wouldn’t he be a master at shooting special dramas?
