My Animation Era

  Chapter 785 World Box Office Champion (for subscription)

   Speaking of "moving game linkage", in fact, when many game modification animations are broadcast, there are similar activities.

   Gu Miao was quite impressed, and it can be regarded as a relatively successful work in "You Gai Man", probably the "Pokémon" series.

   Of course, this age is relatively early.

The age is a little closer, and the mobile game linkage that is closer to life may be the "Battle of Two Cities" series of skins launched by League of Legends during the broadcast of the animation "Battle of Two Cities", and the "Battle of Two Cities" of Genting Game special edition.

  This is not bad.

   After all, a new version of the game was specially released for animation, and a set of "animation" series skins was also designed.

   But it's not easy to learn from...

  Because in the final analysis, "Angry Birds" and "League of Legends" are not the same type of game at all, and the linkage methods are naturally different.

   "You just said that using AR technology to allow players to take photos with animated characters is a good idea!"

  Gu Miao pondered and said: "It's just a group photo, I don't think the sense of interaction is very strong. Why not let the player directly control the characters in the animation, such as Fat Red, Chuck, and Bomb, to break through the level."

   "The design of the hidden level can also directly refer to the animation plot. How the animation plot develops, the level will be designed..."

   This creates an interaction.

  After watching the animation, you can go to the game to relive the plot, and personally control the characters such as Fat Hong to pass the level.

  And game players who want to clear the level can also watch the animation and get the "knack for clearing the level" through the animation plot.

   "This is good! This is good!"

   Ma Kui applauded at first, excited by Mr. Gu's proposal, then thought of a key question, suddenly frowned and said: "But such a complicated linkage, will the game manufacturer be willing to cooperate with us?"

   "If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?" Gu Miao said with a smile, "Thinking from the perspective of the other party, I think they will be very happy to cooperate with you."

  Win-win!

  Similar to this kind of linkage, the animation not only reaps the heat of the game, but also the game can reap the heat of animation, which is a good thing for the entire IP of "Angry Birds".

  No reason for refusal.

  If Gu Miao were the boss of a game company, he would probably gladly agree to this kind of "moving game linkage" application.

   After all, the copyright is in their own hands. The other party has worked so hard to promote the game and expand the popularity of the IP. It is too late to thank them. How could they refuse?

  …

  The time came to the end of August.

  After nearly a month of screenings, as of August 25, the global box office of the movie "The Lion King" has reached an astonishing height.

  $1.094 billion!

  Although this box office performance is not comparable to epic blockbusters like Dafune and Avatar, this is an "animated movie" after all.

  Animated movies have a separate list, and on this list, "The Lion King" is absolutely overwhelming and tops the list.

   Leading the second place "The Swan Princess" has a box office of 400 million US dollars. Such a huge advantage is enough to reflect how amazing the success of the animated film "The Lion King" is!

  By the way...

  Even if it is not compared with similar animated films, but only compared with the live-action films produced by Hollywood this year, "The Lion King" is a well-deserved top spot.

do not forget!

   "The Lion King" has not yet been fully released, and the box office results still have room to continue to rise.

  Assuming that the final box office falls to 1.2 billion US dollars, then this result, as long as there are no blockbusters such as "The League of Fathers" and "Avatar" in the second half of the year, it will definitely win the global annual box office championship!

  The annual global box office champion!

   Once upon a time, this honor has always been live-action movies, and has always been exclusive to Hollywood science fiction blockbusters...

   Never expected that an animated film produced by Huaguo Animation Company could touch this honor. This was said half a year ago, and no one would dare to believe it.

   Everyone in Wanbao was extremely excited!

   Du Hao, the chief director, was not even as happy as anyone else in front of this eye-popping box office performance.

   The happiest one is Master Cao.

  At the beginning, he didn’t need a salary and joined Wanbao with the attitude of helping the poor with technology. Isn’t his inner vision just to help Wanbao go abroad to the world and become a world-class animation company?

  Now that five years have passed, Master Cao is extremely gratified and happy to see Wanbao climb to the top step by step, and is even expected to win the global annual box office champion.

   It's not just Master Cao.

  Many people in Wanbao Animation, no matter whether they have participated in the production of "The Lion King" or not, felt very proud after learning of this achievement.

   "This means that we are a world-class, industry-leading animation company!" Du Hao raised his glass with a solemn expression.

   "Because I am Gu Miao!"

   "Say, I will keep everything about Wanbao!" Huang Kun also toasted.

   "Recasting...cough cough! I have mixed words, my lines should be considered successful until I retire!" Ma Kui clinked glasses with everyone, and then said with a smile on his face.

   This guy is really unreliable!

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes, feeling very dissatisfied with Ma Kui's way of spoiling the atmosphere, but he didn't criticize anything, after all, this is a celebration banquet, not a company meeting.

   There are still media reporters here!

   If there is no outsider, if Ma Kui is so unambitious, he will kick him up and down to let him know what love from Mr. Gu is.

"Pity…"

  After putting down his wine glass, Du Hao, as the protagonist of the celebration banquet, said with some regret: "MGM didn't send anyone to participate. I want to ask in front of them: Do you still think I don't understand movies?"

   "You can spare them!" Gu Miao laughed, "I learned that "The Lion King" has grossed over 1 billion, and now they are hiding in some corner and crying in pain."

meet as planned.

  If the global box office of the movie "The Lion King" exceeds 1 billion U.S. dollars, the 5:5 share that MGM would have gotten would instantly become 6:4.

   I lost so much at once, it's no wonder I don't feel bad!

   But this is also to blame for their lack of foresight. At the beginning, they thought this clause was Wanbao's "idiot's dream". What kind of animated movie can break $1 billion at the box office?

   It can only be said that things are impermanent.

  MGM lost a lot of money because of this clause, and felt depressed and unhappy, so it made sense to refuse to participate in the celebration banquet.

  Gu Miao didn't care.

  Whether love will come or not, anyway, MGM has nothing to do with the follow-up of "The Lion King". Such a mild way of protest is meaningless to him.

   If you have to say something, it would be a good thing not to come.

   After all, if MGM doesn't participate, then no one will steal Wanbao's limelight. The media reporters are all rushing to interview director Du Hao and his producer.

  What is an international superstar?

   It was the first time that Gu Miao was interviewed by a foreign media reporter with blonde hair and blue eyes. Gu Miao still felt a little nervous. After all, his English stuttered...

   But it's not a big problem!

   Went to Hollywood for advanced studies, and Du Hao from Inglese Willigood will make a move.
