Chapter 20 Wolf and Sheep Brawl Chess
Gu Miao was still hesitating.
He wanted to reform the toy factory and build it into a manufacturing base for derivatives around "Wolfsburg Animation".
The first thing to do is to cut off the product line that does not make money, and devote itself to the IP development of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
Forget about other products......
But soft rubber chess, although the sales are not high and do not make money, but the market reputation is excellent, so it is a pity to stop production.
The point is.
Among the classic animations in Gu Miao's memory, there are many chess-themed animations like "Chess Soul", "Go Boy" and "Chess King".
This also means that sooner or later he will get involved in "chess" peripheral derivatives.
This piece is quite promising.
It's just that the timing is wrong......
After thinking about it carefully, Gu Miao came to a conclusion: the production line of chess products can be retained, but there can be no more "soft chess".
"What about the production of Go?"
Director He said with a bitter face: "The sales of Go toys seem to be inferior to chess, right?" ”
"Nope! Go doesn't work. ”
"If you want to increase sales and change the status quo of chess toys making ends meet, there is only one feasible way, and that is to rub the popularity of IP."
Worried that Director He would not understand, Gu Miao explained in detail: "For example, the animation of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, what do you think about linking it with chess toys?" ”
Pleasant Goat? Chess toys?
How do the two work together?
Director He, who really couldn't think of where the linkage point was, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Gu, can you be more detailed?" 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 the 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 Sheep Village.
The sheep and wolves act as pawns and fight on a chessboard called "Green Grassland".
If the sheep want to win, they must occupy the wolf castle, and if the wolf clan wants to win, they must attack the sheep village. Taking into account the peculiarities of each character, they can be given some "special skills".
For example, the Pleasant Goat is smart and witty and can "advance" past the wolf pawns, and the wizard wolf is good at witchcraft and can avoid dying once......
In addition to the sheep and wolves, there are many neutral animals on the green grassland.
For example, Master Baobao, who is in the air prison, can use the method of "guessing boxing" to bring the dead chess pieces back to the chessboard.
How to play!
Refer to chess and military chess, etc., and reformulate a set of rule systems. You don't need to be "absolutely balanced", it just needs to be fun and attractive.
Once it is done, it is on fire with the heat of the Pleasant Goat.
In the future, Gu Miao may come up with a high bonus to promote the development of professional competitive competitions, and even make related derivative games.
The future is bright!
"Good! I understand. ”
Director He was very optimistic about this proposal, and was about to send someone to design the first version of the chessboard and chess pieces according to the instructions, when a question suddenly came to mind.
"Mr. Gu, do you have a good name for this chess toy?"
Name?
directly in the name of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", it is a bit rude. Gu Miao thought about it seriously and decided to name it - Wolf and Sheep Brawl Chess!
Doesn't sound good?
It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of saying.
Accompanied by Director He, he visited all the major workshops and carefully understood the current situation of Wanzhibao Toy Factory, Gu Miao invited Mr. Du to have a meal.
It's kind of seeing him off.
Mr. Du, who sold the toy factory and was determined to devote himself to the film industry, had already bought a ticket to the capital.
Starfall!
This is the name of the movie that Du Hao revealed to Gu Miao, the director is himself, the starring lineup has not yet been determined, and he is hesitating to invite big-name actors to join.
"Forget it."
Picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, Gu Miao kindly reminded: "Your money is not much, it is better to use the bulk of it for special effects, and the salary can be saved." ”
"By the way, is it convenient for me to show me the script?"
"Absolutely."
As soon as she got the paper script, Gu Miao couldn't wait to read it.
He thought that Du Hao was so confident, not to mention how exciting and shocking this script was, at least it wouldn't be bad.
Outcome......
The title of the film is so grandiose, but the content is a vulgar alien invasion drama of "dogs shake their heads when they see it".
The general plot is:
In 208X AD, astronomer, the protagonist of the story, observed that a star suddenly appeared to age rapidly, as if it had been instantly drained of its "vitality".
After his observations were submitted, they did not go unheeded.
But the protagonist is the protagonist after all, and soon realizes that something is wrong, and near this "dead" star, there are UFOs.
The protagonist and a few like-minded friends then investigate.
Eventually, they found out that it was an alien fleet! Aliens pump stellar material to power the jump engine. And the next stop of the fleet is ...... Solar system!
In order to save the sun from being destroyed by the alien fleet that "passes by", the protagonist and his friends come up with a "trick" plan to let the sun "fake his death" to deceive the aliens......
Lone hero, save the world!
I have to say.
Most of this movie has nothing to do, unless Du Hao is willing to spend a lot of money and directly fill up the special effects, then there may be 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 effects that the script wanted to present.
"How?"
When Gu Miao handed back the script, Du Hao couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it shocking?" I'm right, this is the hope of domestic science fiction films! ”
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
Gu Miao nodded again and again: "I admire Mr. Du's talent. If nothing else, I was the first to buy tickets after the release of this movie! ”
"It is incumbent upon us to support domestic sci-fi blockbusters! With a box office of billions, isn't that easy? ”
"Sanshui Brothers......
Hearing this, Du Hao was moved. If he hadn't been stopped by Gu Miao, he would have been ready to order incense to worship Guan Gong, and he would have become brothers with different surnames on the spot.
This frightened Gu Miao.
Bow down or something, absolutely not!
In case this movie hits the street, he said to media reporters: "Although I have fallen, my second brother is invincible in the world!" Sooner or later, he will make my dream come true for me......"
That's a bad thing!
He's just paying lip service to it.
Really let him learn from Du Hao and pay out of his own pocket to shoot a high-risk sci-fi blockbuster, it's not a toilet with a lantern, looking for death!
"Starfall?"
Looking at Du Hao, who was drunk beside him, Gu Miao shook his head gently.
This movie is probably going to be cool!
It's not that if the script is poorly written, the movie must be poorly made, he just simply thinks that Du Hao is not suitable for making this kind of movie.
With his self-confidence in the second second, wouldn't it be a good hand to shoot special effects dramas?
