Gu Miao, who had just eaten the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and hadn't even finished watching the Spring Festival Gala, suddenly received a message.

Our Superman......

The epic blockbuster "Starfall", which was pinned on high hopes and known as the "savior of domestic science fiction", finally fell on the last night of the Year of the Tiger after 10 days and 14 hours of screening.

The distributor of the film scribbled an announcement of "technical release".

[Cinema companies and cinemas:]

[The film "Starfall" released by our company, due to various indescribable technical reasons, decided to withdraw from the schedule from 23:59 tonight, and the box office will settle normally......]

"What does that mean?"

Lao Gu, Huang Kun and others, who were eating melon seeds on the side, couldn't quite understand what the so-called "technical next film" meant, and looked at Gu Miao one after another.

"The so-called technical ......"

Gu Miao crossed Erlang's legs and explained: "It's actually a euphemism, translated, it probably means that the box office is too miserable, and we have to switch to the Internet, TV and DVD audio-visual!" ”

"That's the street?"

Lao Gu pouted and said: "If no one watches, no one will watch, so I have to talk about such an outrageous reason." ”

Mix in the entertainment industry, you want to save face!

directly said that the box office was sent, how ugly is it to spread out? The term "technical film" is used very well, which saves face for both the theater and the filmmaker.

"But that's too fast, isn't it?"

Huang Kun frowned and said, "It's not been two weeks since this movie was released!" Normally, it won't be so fast to go offline in advance! ”

"Spring Festival stalls!"

Gu Miao reminded: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are several blockbusters waiting to be released!" ”

Cinemas have limited screens.

In order to free up enough screens for new films released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, garbage movies like "Starfall" will definitely be eliminated.

I can only say that it is too miserable!

According to Gu Miao's understanding, since the release of "Starfall", the cumulative box office has barely exceeded 20 million. Among them, the box office accounted for more than 80% in the first three days.

What does this mean?

The box office was more than 16 million in the first three days, and in the next week, the box office was only more than 4 million! This decline is a disaster.

Du Hao's mentality is estimated to have collapsed.

Anyway, the total investment of this movie is fifty or sixty million, and he himself accounts for more than forty million. Such a large sum of money, but in exchange for this end......

Who can accept it?

"Hell! It's also miserable! ”

From Gu Miao's mouth, after learning about Du Hao's approximate loss, Huang Kun was speechless: "From a multimillionaire to a multimillionaire, only one movie is needed?" ”

"Gambling!"

Gu Miao said with a smile: "Although nine out of ten bets are lost, there are always people who feel that they will become that winner." ”

But the truth is......

In the domestic film industry, at least more than 70% of the films cannot recover the production costs and publicity costs, and have been in a state of loss for a long time.

The industry is bloody.

The final winner can indeed make a lot of money. The ROI can even reach an astonishing 1000% or more.

But this is just an "isolated case".

More are like Du Hao, who came in with confidence and left in despair. The pool of water in the movie is far deeper than he imagined.

"Prepare yourself."

Reaching out and patting Huang Kun's shoulder, Gu Miao encouraged: "This year's Spring Festival, we can only be a spectator." This time next year, we're going to be going to end up in person. ”

"Huh?"

Huang Kun was surprised: "Mr. Gu, do you mean that we will also make a movie next year?" ”

"Probably!"

Gu Miao said ambiguously.

To say that he doesn't have the slightest idea about the "big animated movie" is definitely lying. Whether it is "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" or "Sailor Moon", it can be made into a theatrical version.

But what he said was not these two.

Because of the "secret agreement" between him and Boss Xiong, after the New Year, Wanbao Animation will find Feiyang Animation to jointly produce an animated film in the name of cooperation.

The tentative name of the project is: Kuiba!

Don't ask why Quibal? Instead of "Tiger and Tiger", "Year of the Rabbit" or "Sailor Moon" theatrical version and so on.

Asking is ......

It's a "dirty" deal!

took people short and ate people's soft mouths, and received the benefit fee from Boss Xiong, so you have to do things for him, right? Gu Miao thought about it, and it seemed that "Kuiba" was more suitable for him.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, "Kuiba" suffered a miserable loss, and introducing this work to Mr. Xiao Xiong made him more likely to "break his dream".

Second, the quality of "Kuiba" is not bad. Although he is a "pit man", he can't fool Mr. Bear with a piece of, right?

Xiong Tianwei is not so stupid.

It's good to be the CEO of an animation company, and he still has the basic judgment ability. If Gu Miao's business plan couldn't make him feel excited, how could he "throw money" into it?

So, here's the problem.

Only with excellent quality and bright prospects of the project can we attract the total investment of Xiaoxiong. But you can't make money, and you have to lose a lot of money......

"Kuiba" just fits the bill!

On word-of-mouth on the quality of completion, 100 points in the god of the groove, the world's first good-looking, I blow it up! On the box office and the results...... That's really, dogs have to shake their heads when they see it!

The most annoying thing is ......

Kuiba may be one of the few animation works that can't achieve blood recovery in the area of "peripheral derivatives".

Truly Nyima!

Gu Miao has always believed that animations like "Peking Opera Cats" that "lose money and make money" are already the "light" of the industry. It wasn't until he saw "Kuiba" that he realized that there were really people who "generated electricity for love"?

Isn't it, Sir?

People's "Peking Opera Cat" can sell mugs, dolls and other peripheral derivatives. And "Kuiba" can't sell anything, and the sequel has to rely on fan "crowdfunding"?

It can only be said that it is too miserable.

is so miserable that even Gu Miao is a little worried, if he sacrifices this work, he won't make Xiao Xiong delirious, and he will come to him with a kitchen knife in the middle of the night to settle accounts, right?

I still have to make it clear in advance.

Gu Miao felt that before the cooperation was reached, he must kindly remind Mr. Xiong: "Movies are risky, and investment needs to be cautious!" ”

He doesn't listen, that's his business.

It's really a loss to look back, at least Gu Miao can use this sentence as a shield, indicating that he has been reminded. If you don't listen to persuasion, you can't blame others.

"Do bears always fall for it?"

Through WeChat, after learning about Gu Miao's evil plan, Ma Kui, who was still in his hometown, couldn't help but ask: "Although this project looks very good, the risk is very high after all!" ”

"With what I know about him......"

Gu Miao said conclusively: "He will definitely agree to this cooperation proposal." When the time comes, you'll be in charge of docking with Flappy Anime, understand? ”

“……”

Ma Kui sent a string of ellipses.

With his cleverness and wit, how can he not see that Mr. Gu is planning to make him a "backstabber".

The question is...... Can he refuse?
