Chapter Ninety-Seven: Behind the Scenes
How does TBS want to work together?
This is a question that Gu Miao never figured out before leaving.
Although Ikeda told him on the phone that this was a good thing and that it would be of great benefit to Manbo to reach a partnership, he still couldn't figure it out.
TBS also has an animation department, huh?
They have their own animation planning and production capabilities, so why should they cooperate with other animation companies? Could it be that TBS, like Sony, has a lot of internal mountains and goes its own way?
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to.
Since Ikeda said it was a good thing, let's believe him for the time being, and come to the neon to have a look.
Anyway, during this time, Gu Miao didn't have anything important, nothing more than the domestic broadcast of "Sailor Moon" and "Pig Man", as well as overseas distribution.
Oh yes!
And the "Kuiba" project!
However, this project has not yet been approved. Because of the "production budget", Feiyang Animation and Wanbao Animation quarreled.
Wanbao Animation is not going to invest money!
In Gu Miao's words, we are so poor that we can only contribute ideas and ideas, and there is really nothing we can do about the budget.
was so angry that Xiong always broke the defense on the spot.
"Are you pretending to be Nima? I really don't know, how much money do you make with remote control cars and Pleasant Goat? ”
is obviously richer than Feiyang anime, but he pretended to be poor and cried miserably, which made Xiong always a little nervous.
What's the matter, all counting on him alone?
Although he is a rich second generation and has sufficient loser capital, he can't support an animated film with a total investment of up to 30 million!
"You can, I believe in you!"
Gu Miao scratched her head and encouraged: "What kind of villa, sports car, girl...... If you keep it and can't give birth to cubs, why don't you use it to shoot "Kuiba"? ”
Wow! This man is broken!
Mr. Xiong immediately asked: "Don't just talk about me, why don't you sell your car and house and support the "Kuiba" project?" ”
"I don't have a car or a house!"
“……”
The result of the dispute finally ended with Gu Miao winning a big victory.
Poor Mr. Xiong, who was toyed with by Gu Miao, could only hold high the white flag in the end, indicating that he should consider it.
30 million is indeed a bit much.
Even the original "Sea Baby" project was not so outrageous. Taking out such a large sum of money at once is also very nerve-wracking for Mr. Xiong.
Gu Miao agreed, giving him time to think about it.
Then as soon as he turned his head, he found Mr. Xiong's father, Mr. Xiong Guofu, a well-known real estate developer in Jiangchuan, and introduced him to the latest progress of the plan.
"Don't worry, he won't get a penny from his family, and the 30 million will definitely force him to Liangshan!" Boss Xiong assured.
"Hahaha!"
The two smiled at each other in accord and raised their glasses to toast to the goal they were about to achieve.
Champagne at half-time?
No, no, no! This is not half a champagne, because Gu Miao concluded that Xiao Xiong would definitely find a way to get together the 30 million and enter the trap designed by him and Boss Xiong.
Don't ask why?
The project of "Kuiba" is really attractive to animation producers like Mr. Xiong and Hou Bin, who are "obviously very ordinary but so confident".
In other words.
This trap is actually not called a trap. In terms of quality, "Kuiba" is definitely a very good project, and Xiong will always be fooled not because he is simple, but really deceived by "appearances".
If it looks good, it doesn't have to be really good!
Mr. Xiong needed time to consider the pros and cons, and by the way, he raised funds, but Gu Miao did not urge him, but came to Neon.
Seto came to pick you up.
Compared with the first time she came to Neon to participate in the "Main Creator Meeting", Gu Miao did not have her own place to stay, so she could only stay in the hotel under the arrangement of TBS.
This time I came to Neon, and the treatment was completely different.
At the very least, there is a special car to pick you up!
The hotel I stayed in was better than last time, and the restaurant where I ate was the most famous Japanese restaurant in Kyoto.
It's all reimbursed with public funds!
Anyway, it's a hospitality president, and Seto doesn't have to worry about being gossiped about, what's wrong with embezzling public funds to eat, drink and have fun? If you have the ability, you can sue and see who will take care of you?
"Damn, the custom shop is closed!"
Standing on the crowded street, looking at a custom shop with a signboard hanging at the door of the house, Gu Miao was very annoyed.
It's rare that there are no ghosts around, Jiang Keke also allocated a sum of public money, and just wanted to have a good taste of the neon style, and saw it for a long time, but the custom shop was closed for three days!
How can this be?
After slamming the door several times, and after making sure that there was really no one inside, Gu Miao took Seto back in a huff.
The custom shop is closed, but the Neon branch of Wanbao is not......
Gu Miao, who had nowhere to go, took a brief tour of the various departments of the neon branch under the leadership of Seto, the president.
Not to mention, it was quite unexpected.
In terms of scale, the neon branch is actually far inferior to the Jiangchuan headquarters. Not to mention Wanbao Animation, even Wanbao Animation's "Wolfsburg Studio" is not as good.
There are only 48 people in total.
But although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Although the team is small, they have all the departments that an animation company should have. There was even a post that was not even set up at the headquarters.
Documentary filmmaker!
This is a part-time position with no "salary" and is purely hobby.
The content of the work is roughly: using the existing equipment and equipment, recording the bitterness and laughter in the animation production process, interspersed with some interviews with the "main creator", and finally editing it into a documentary.
"That's a great idea......
Gu Miao looked at the behind-the-scenes documentary of the first episode of "Sailor Moon" and was quite satisfied.
At the beginning of the documentary, there is a story about the establishment of the "Manpo (Neon) Branch" told by Seto.
Then there's team building.
Under the leadership of President Gu Miao, who is "wise and martial", he began the creation of "Sailor Moon".
There was joy in between......
When TBS aired the first episode and the ratings were transmitted back to the Neon Division, everyone cheered in the office and debated where to go to celebrate in the evening.
There have been pains......
During the production of the eighth episode of the animation, there was an original artist who failed to stick to the bottom line, did something wrong, and didn't get a good night's sleep for a week.
That's right, it's the inner ghost painter!
These are some of his mental journeys that he took the initiative to tell in the documentary after admitting his mistakes and getting the opportunity to make up for his mistakes.
Pretty good shot!
Gu Miao feels that this "behind-the-scenes documentary" model can also be learned by the headquarters. Use the camera to record every moment of laughter or pain and cut it into a documentary.
It doesn't have to be exciting.
But at least there is a "thought", which is very commemorative.
Many years later, when everyone is too old to walk and can't remember the past, you can also relive the good old days through documentaries......
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is to make such a documentary, which doesn't cost too much money at all, and can also have a good "publicity" effect, so why not?
