My Animation Era

  Chapter 791 Cultural output? (seeking subscription)

  When drafting the plan for "The Adventures of Uncle Long", Gu Miao thought about whether he would like to play with Uncle Long and play a cameo role in the animation?

   He has a wide range of options.

  Except for some special characters, such as Tohru, Daddy and Xiaoyu, it is not easy for him to make a cameo, other characters are basically fine.

   But he thought about it seriously.

  In this animation, the protagonist is Uncle Long, and the original intention is to fulfill Uncle Long’s cartoon dream, and he is the core of the core.

  It’s okay for other people to be green leaves, but if there are too many green leaves and too dazzling, even stealing the limelight from the protagonist, Uncle Long, it would be too unreasonable.

so…

  He either doesn't make cameo appearances, or he can only choose among those marginalized or even less visible roles.

   In such a role, the Bull Warrior is definitely a good target.

  The Niu Warrior has a lot of roles.

  Besides, Niu Warrior usually hides his true face under a mask. This setting is in line with Gu Miao's wishes, because he doesn't want the audience to see his face all the time.

Do not misunderstand!

  He did this not because he was worried that the audience would cry ugly, but because he worried that if he stared at his face for a long time, the audience would gradually forget or even ignore the protagonist, Uncle Long.

  Low EQ: Afraid of stealing the show!

  High EQ: He is so handsome, he needs a mask to protect himself!

   "Alas! It's all my fault for my damned, charming, handsome and charm that has no place to rest." Gu Miao thought narcissistically, rubbing her cheek.

  He looks handsome like this.

  If he was ugly, like Mr. Tan and Mr. Xiong, he wouldn't have to worry about stealing the limelight from Uncle Long.

  While Gu Miao was troubled by her overly handsome face, the outside world also made harsh comments on the latest episode of "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon".

  Jiangchuan Metropolis Daily wrote an article commenting that the animation "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" is very popular overseas, which in disguise proves the profound heritage of Huaguo culture.

  The well-known media person and professor of Zhonghai University appealed in the interview: Chinese people, you must be confident! Even foreigners are so obsessed with our Huaguo animation, this is a little shock brought to them by Huaguo culture!

  Cultural output!

   This is a word often mentioned in the domestic media and public opinion environment when discussing "The Adventures of Uncle Long".

  Even in the eyes of many people, the real "cultural export case" should be "The Lion King". After all, this movie is much higher in grade than "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon", and its performance is even more dazzling.

   But it's obvious.

  The "Western" story told in the movie "The Lion King", in the eyes of many people, is a manifestation of xenophobia, which is not worthy of being called cultural export at all.

  For true cultural output, you have to watch "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon"!

  After all, this is the story of Huaguo, not some Hamlet, nor is it the story of the prince's revenge that has nothing to do with Huaguo except the producer and producer.

  …

   "Do they care about this? Telling oriental stories is cultural export, and telling western stories is worshiping foreigners?" Gu Miao asked in surprise.

   "Public opinion is like this."

  Huang Kun curled his lips and said: "Although many people don't say it, they have always supported the All-China Class in their hearts, and they pay attention to a pure blood."

   Is "The Lion King" strong?

   Strong!

  A Huaguo animation film swept the global market, raking in more than US$1 billion in box office, and even in North America, it scored nearly US$400 million in box office, ranking among the box office champions of historical animated films.

so what?

  Although the coach and the owner of the club are Hanako, why are there so many "foreign players" in your team?

   No, no, your "animal version" Hamlet is not considered an all-Chinese class, and your blood is not pure enough. Even if you win the S crown, you will not be recognized by me...

   That's pretty much what it means.

  Under Huang Kun's interpretation, Gu Miao roughly understood some domestic audiences. The reason why they pay close attention to "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" is actually the reason why they don't pay attention to "The Lion King".

  The reason is that the story told in the movie "The Lion King" is too westernized and too European.

  In the eyes of many people, this is not a "domestic animation" at all, but at most an "imported product" covered with a layer of domestic skin.

   "This is too narrow."

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "Let's carry forward other people's culture, isn't this a kind of humiliation?"

  The evaluation of "The Lion King" abroad is much more true than domestic ones! Even the comment section has become a "humiliating carnival".

  Many foreign netizens have poured salt on Chinese people’s wounds, and asked them in a joking manner, “Hamlet” adapted by Chinese people is more popular than the Chinese adaptation, how do you feel?

  The people of the country were silent.

  Shakespeare and his masterpieces have always been their pride, but their pride has been adapted so well by a Chinese, what else can they say?

   Hard-spoken?

  Don’t be so stubborn, it won’t change the fact that the movie “The Lion King” and the stage musical “The Lion King” are a huge hit.

   Simply pretend to be deaf and dumb!

   If you don’t want to listen to it, don’t listen to the scriptures, so what if you recite the scriptures well? Anyway, Shakespeare is from our country, and the despicable Chinese people don't want to steal his nationality!

   In Gu Miao's opinion.

   "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" is a very good animation, and it really deserves so much praise, but when everyone is touting it, the role of "The Lion King" should not be ignored.

  Wanbao IP, which is also ignored by domestic audiences and even regarded as "foreign animation", actually has "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

   Same as The Lion King.

  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are also often ignored by everyone because of the stories they tell, special backgrounds, and "ninja" elements, and they don't even like to mention them.

  But the achievements of this animation, especially in overseas regions, are also very dazzling, and it can be called the top five animation IP of Wanbao overseas.

   Didn’t expect that?

   It can only be said that the general direction of Gu Miao's overseas strategy for Wanbao is not wrong, but in the eyes of many domestic audiences, it is quite "unpopular".

  He also expressed his understanding of this.

  If he is not the president of Wanbao, but a keyboard warrior who lashes out at Fang Qiu on the Internet, he can't understand Wanbao's behavior of "returning the same way to the other person".

   "Forget it, don't mention these."

   Anyway, Wanbao has a big business, not only "The Lion King" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but also "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" and "The Little Master of China".

  Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to discuss about the magical and magnificent "game" world he mentioned before, with motorcycles and beasts.

   This was the main reason why he called Huang Kun to the office and the two discussed behind closed doors.

   I wasn't going to call Huang Kun at first.

  But Gu Miao thought about it again, since Huang Kun drew the line draft of "Thunderbolt" in advance without any guidance, he should have something in his stomach.
