My Animation Era

Chapter 695: The stepping stone to enter Europe and the United States (Happy Lantern Festival)

   Putting aside all kinds of prejudices, the story of the movie "Sheep Elated" is actually quite family-friendly, with a full sense of atmosphere.

  It's just 3D production...

   It's not that Gu Miao doesn't trust Ma Kui, he just simply doubts that if the money is spent, can he get the desired results?

All right!

  He still has the same opinion, that is, it is better for Ma Kui to hand over the 3D production part of "Sheep Elated" to Dimension Studio.

   For this reason, he was even willing to delay the production plan of "Bear Infested" to make way for the movie "Sheep Eating His Eyes".

   "That's too late."

   He said he was thinking about it, but Ma Kui’s idea was very firm, that is, unless Dimension Studio stopped the production of the "Super Beast Armed" project, it would not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival.

  This topic stops here.

   Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gu Miao couldn't say anything more. After all, the "Spring Festival" is still a very important time for the movie "Sheep Elated".

   "Okay, you make up your own mind."

   "Speaking of which, don't you have the best relationship with Du Hao? Then do you know what he's been up to recently?"

   Gu Miao, who hadn't seen anyone else for several days, said very puzzled: "I found out that this guy's whereabouts are suspicious after he came back from Hollywood!"

   "He..."

   "He has a hot fight with Haitian Film and Television. It's normal if he doesn't return to the company. After all, he has nothing to do when he comes back." Ma Kui said with a smile.

   This is indeed the truth.

  Du Hao basically played a fringe role in Wanbao Animation, or the entire Wanbao Group, and few projects fell on him.

  So whether he comes to the company or not, it makes no difference to other people.

  Gu Miao could understand this situation, but he couldn't accept that Du Hao had a hot fight with Haitian Film and Television and gave him a cuckold behavior.

   It must be dissuaded.

   This is married to Wanbao, and he hangs out with other men all day long, and the relationship is unclear. Which husband can bear this?

  Gu Miao was very angry.

   After dismissing Ma Kui and Huang Kun, after returning to his office, he immediately called Du Hao and called him back.

   "What do you want me to do?"

   "You still have the nerve to ask? Do you know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are?"

  Gu Miao scolded all the time when she came up: "Are you from Wanbao, or are you an undercover agent sent by Haitian to Wanbao? Taking my salary, you go to work for others all day long?"

   "Mr. Gu, don't be embarrassing!"

   "How can I call it voluntary labor? I am obviously studying abroad, and I will go to a friend business to visit the filming scene."

  Du Hao called Qu and said: "Haitian provides me with free lunch and dinner, and sometimes invites me to have dinner and drink together. Isn't this infiltrating the enemy and making him degenerate?"

   There are a lot of fallacies and heresies!

   Gu Miao, who was too lazy to talk to this guy, frowned and asked, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. You can't stay in the company, isn't it because you are too free?"

   "I'll find you something to do..."

   After saying this, Gu Miao picked up a thick document from the table, handed it to Du Hao and said, "Your favorite movie project, how about taking a look? Are you confident that you can shoot it?"

   "The Lion King?"

  Du Hao took this project proposal and asked in a daze: "Why did you choose this name? Is there only a story outline?"

   "Names don't matter."

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "Have you seen the play "Hamlet"? Shakespeare's classic tragedy."

"Seen…"

   "That's fine. You can simply understand the background of the story as the Prince's Revenge of "Hamlet" presented by anthropomorphic cartoon animals." Gu Miao explained.

   "Prince Revenge?"

  The corner of Du Hao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help complaining: "This story template is too... too old-fashioned! Will anyone really like this kind of fairy tale style from the last century?"

   Please!

   This is the 21st century, can you point out some innovative and bold themes? Could it be that he has traveled back to the last century, and still put this Prince's Revenge?

   "Old-fashioned?"

  Gu Miao smiled, and said indifferently to this complaint: "I admit that Prince's Revenge is indeed somewhat clichéd, but have you ever thought that the reason why classics are classics is precisely because this kind of plot never gets tired of it?"

for example.

   "The hero saves the beauty, the beauty falls in love" Is the routine of "the hero saves the beauty, the beauty falls in love" good enough? very earthy!

  But it is precisely such an earthy storyline, which is still used and paid tribute to many online novels, animations, comics and even movies today.

  Why do some people love to watch it? Even knowing that it is very earthy, but watching it with relish every time?

   "Don't use your own preferences to speculate on the preferences of the public."

  Gu Miaoyu said earnestly: "I think everyone is drunk and I am sober, but in fact, in the eyes of everyone, you are a fool!"

  The audience likes it, how old are you?

  Du Hao made one of the most classic mistakes, that is, he was self-centered and took himself too seriously.

   That's right!

  Hamlet's "Prince's Revenge" storyline, looking at it now, is indeed very rustic and old-fashioned.

   But if you don’t like it alone, does it mean that all the audience don’t like it?

   It may not be very popular in China, but in Western countries, this kind of "prince's revenge" story is still liked by many people, right?

"The west?"

  Du Hao keenly grasped the key point, frowned and flipped through the project proposal in his hand, until he found that the protagonist in the play was actually called "Simba", he realized it instantly.

   This is a "non-Wanbao traditional" animation film that focuses on the European and American markets, and is even full of European and American cartoon elements!

   "Do you want to enter the European and American markets?"

"Yes!"

  Gu Miao made no secret of her thoughts, nodded decisively and admitted: "Wanbao's influence in East Asia, or the entire Asian region, is already large enough."

  “However, in Western countries, the influence of animations produced by Wanbao is generally one or two grades lower, and occasionally one or two works can become a hit.”

  Gu Miao was very dissatisfied with it.

  He believes that if Wanbao wants to become an animation giant with "world-class" influence and whose works cover the global market, it cannot ignore the western market.

   "The Lion King" was born for this.

  It may not be the most suitable work, but it must be the most suitable stepping stone to "open" the door of the European and American markets.

  Don't ask why.

  The question is the revenge of the prince in "Hamlet", coupled with the values ​​conveyed by the entire animation of The Lion King, it is definitely in line with the universal cognition of the West.

certainly!

  The reason why we chose animated films instead of TV animations as a stepping stone is mainly because Wanbao has someone in Hollywood.

   Can’t say that there are people...

  Because of the previous cooperation in the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film project, Wanbao has connected with Hollywood giants.

  With this relationship, they can be brought together in the movie project. Looking back, the global distribution of the movie will be done by Hollywood giants.

  This is too robust!
