Chapter 13 Someone Follows the Trend?
There are headhunting companies in Jiangchuan.
After entrusting them with the task of expanding the production team, Gu Miao quickly recruited a group of experienced animation talents who have been in the industry for many years with high salaries.
Wolfsburg Studios is on its feet!
In the past, there were seven or eight guns for more than a dozen people, and the office space was a few low-cost rented houses.
It's different now.
Director Gu not only brought crooked handles, but also dragged Italian cannons, everyone moved into a spacious and bright office building, and used the top hardware facilities, isn't it easy to fight a safe county?
"Yo ho!"
"Xiao Gu, are you getting rich? Look at this office, it's bigger than my office...... And what about a pot of Gentleman's Orchid? It's really rotten and depraved. Director Wang spitted at Gu Miao's office as he looked at it.
Gu Miao didn't speak.
He can see that this person will only pretend to be unfamiliar with people, and once he is familiar with you, he will immediately start to be weird.
No wonder after so many years, even a deputy director has not been mixed, and the leaders of Jiangchuan TV really have a good understanding of people.
This is a black sheep!
"You are now a senior leader of the TV station, and you are not in command of the TV station, what are you doing here for me?" Gu Miao said curiously.
"Of course I'm looking for you."
When it came to business, Director Wang instantly became serious, and said with a little hesitation: "The national ratings of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" have broken eight. ”
"yes, I know."
Gu Miao also heard about this, after all, this rating not only beats various animations, TV series and second-rate variety shows in the same period, but also a proper candidate for the annual ratings champion.
The reason why it is a candidate, rather than an award in advance, is that there was a TV series on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War that also broke eight in the first half of the year.
"Snow Bear"!
This work is known as another classic anti-Japanese war-themed TV series after "Bright Knife", and the response after the broadcast was enthusiastic, and the ratings were quite amazing.
Although the ratings of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf are also excellent, they are still a little less interesting than this kind of TV series.
But this is only temporary.
How many episodes of "Snow Bear" are there? The first part of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has 530 episodes, and now the ratings can't catch up, which doesn't mean that it won't be able to catch up after a while.
Director Wang also thinks so.
He and the director both believe that with the continuous popularity of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the follow-up ratings are very likely to break through the 10-point mark.
That's an amazing achievement.
TV series will come out with a hit every year, but what about animation? How many years has there been an animation work in the industry with ratings breaking 10 points?
It was precisely because of this thought that Director Wang would appear in Gu Miao's office to communicate with him about the production plan of the second part of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
He also wants to continue investing.
But any normal person will have similar thoughts. After all, after tasting the sweetness, how can you give up so easily?
It's a pity that Gu Miao refused.
"Director Wang, from my personal point of view, I am very grateful for your trust at that time, which helped me a lot."
"But ......"
Interests are at stake, and no concessions will be made.
Gu Miao is not an ungrateful person, he will always remember Director Wang's original "grace of support". In the future, if there is a need, he will definitely take a hand.
Jiangchuan TV is a state-owned enterprise after all!
Since it is a public property, it is better to do business and no one takes advantage of anyone. No matter how good his friendship with Director Wang is in private, it is impossible for him to make concessions in this matter.
Director Wang knew it in his heart.
The reason why the director sent him to talk about this matter was also to value the friendship between him and Gu Miao, and wanted to play a dozen emotional cards.
If Gu Miao doesn't eat this set, then forget it.
Anyway, he is just the deputy director who receives a dead salary, and even if the matter is negotiated, he will not get a penny more, so there is no need to make the two turn against each other for this matter.
"Okay, buying and selling is not benevolent."
Director Wang said with a smile: "But the first round of broadcasting rights for the second part of Pleasant Goat, you have to give Jiangchuan Children's Channel some discounts!" ”
"No problem."
Gu Miao didn't mind.
Even if Director Wang didn't mention this stubble, he would know what to do when the time came. Other TV stations can charge as much as they want, but Jiangchuan Children's Channel is all broken!
After all, they're old friends.
After talking about business and making an appointment to eat hot pot together on Saturday, Director Wang was about to get up to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Gu Miao and asked, "By the way, have you paid attention to the news from Zhonghai?" ”
"No, what's wrong?"
"Then you'll have to keep an eye on it!"
Director Wang explained: "As far as I know, there is an animation company in Zhonghai, which seems to be making a work similar to the style of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". ”
Follow suit?
After sending Director Wang away, Gu Miao quickly inquired about the relevant news through the portable Internet.
The Cat Princess and the Rat Prince
From the name to the content, this work is full of traces of poor imitation, and it is not difficult to see that its producers are quite smart.
Seeing that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" became popular, I immediately realized that the story setting of "animals that are enemies of each other love and kill each other" definitely has the potential to explode, so he came up with a "cat and mouse" combination.
It's a classic of classics.
There is "Sheriff Black Cat" in China and "Cat and Mouse" abroad. When it comes to the classic "natural enemies" in animation, the cat-and-mouse combination is definitely in first place.
By the way!
The cat-and-mouse combination is not only very strong in "doubles", but also a ruthless character in the animation industry that should not be underestimated.
Garfield, Doraemon, Shuk Beta, Michael...... Forget it, this can't be mentioned, in short, the cat-and-mouse combination is very strong.
The idea of using a cat-and-mouse combination against the "wolf-sheep" combination is at least commendable.
But......
How does it actually perform?
Although this animation has not yet been broadcast, no one knows what its production level is, but Gu Miao guesses that it is probably another "Haiwa"-style tragedy.
These people, just seeing the rough production of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" but popular all over the country, think that they can do it with their hands, but they haven't thought about a core problem.
Behind the humble picture of the Pleasant Goat, there are one after another whimsical and hilarious storylines!
It can be said that the plot is the highlight.
There's a balance in that.
The plot is too deep, the children can't understand it, it's too shallow, and the children find it boring.
can't grasp the balance of the plot, no matter how exquisite the original painting is, how smooth the fights are, and even how good the music is, it's all a bamboo basket.
Gu Miao didn't think that "Cat Princess and the Rat Prince" could do this perfectly.
After all......
Do they really have this kind of ability, as for following the trend of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", is it unknown in the industry?
