Chapter 152: All the Ghosts (Asking for Subscription)
Quibal production is nearing completion.
This is the news that Gu Miao heard from Ma Kui, according to him, Mr. Xiong of Feiyang Animation has been busy contacting distributors recently to negotiate the release at the end of the year.
"Not so fast, right?"
Gu Miao sandwiched a piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth and muttered: "Post-production, submission for review and taking the dragon standard, publicity and distribution have not been completed, and the release is still early." ”
He wasn't in a hurry.
Anyway, Wanbao didn't invest money, and the Kuiba movie was released a day earlier and a day later, so there was no loss for him.
It's just that he wants to know, what does the sample film that has been roughly cut by Director Hou look like? Is it up to the level of the original?
"I'll help you ask."
Ma Kui put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of Feiyang Animation.
After some communication, Director Hou decided to hold a simple "test screening" inside Feiyang Animation to show Mr. Xiong and the distributor a sample film.
How could Gu Miao miss this kind of thing?
After being invited, after a brief lunch, he got up and took Ma Kui to Feiyang Animation, and met Director Hou and Mr. Xiong and others in a dimly lit screening room.
"Let's get started."
Everyone was busy, so they didn't waste time on greetings, and after picking a random seat and sitting down, the waiting director began the screening.
Because it's a sample!
There's no synthesized soundtrack yet, so it looks like a "mime". And the rough cut version is not equal to the version that is finally submitted for review and released, so I can only look at it roughly.
The dailies came to an abrupt halt after only 32 minutes.
It's not that there is no follow-up, but everyone feels that seeing this is enough to understand the true quality of the movie "Kuiba".
Continuing to read on is nothing more than a waste of everyone's time.
Leave the screening room.
Representatives of Feiyang Animation, Wanbao Animation, publishers and sponsors gathered in the conference room for a closed-door discussion.
"Very average......
Gu Miao was the first to speak: "To be honest, I didn't see what I wanted to see in the movie. ”
32-minute movie.
Gu Miao didn't dare to say that she was engrossed, at least she was watching it seriously. But after watching it, he just wanted to say one thing: It's good that it's not a movie I invested in!
The story takes place in a world called the Yuan Yang Realm, which has a mysterious phenomenon, and every 333 years, a terrifying anomalous life is born, which is called "Kuiba......
Gu Miao only watched the first 32 minutes.
In this half-hour film, in fact, the plot is not promoted much, but it gives the audience a lot of common sense about the world of Kuiba.
For example, there are two worlds of heaven and earth, there are gods in the heavenly realm, and people in the earth realm practice pulse art and open the pulse gate to become demon heroes......
Sounds a bit confusing, doesn't it?
In fact, fortunately, regarding the difference between the heavenly realm and the earthly realm, it is completely possible to regard the heavenly realm as "technology" and the earthly realm as "martial arts".
It's abstract, but it's understandable.
In 1664, the sixth generation of Kuiba escaped the blow disguised as a stone. The child who walked out of the stone and was adopted by Manxiaoman and named Manji kicked off the movie in a place called Wowo Township in the beast country.
The candidate is very ambitious......
Although he accepted that Kuiba had more than one work, he still wanted to tell the audience about the huge worldview and complex background in one movie.
This leads to:
Gu Miao watched the sample film for half an hour, and she didn't feel anything other than dizziness.
"If that's the case, it's hard to get too good box office results after release."
"Why?"
The conclusion given by Gu Miao aroused Mr. Xiong's curiosity. He didn't have so many ideas, he just thought that the movie was not bad, why would Gu Sanshui say that?
Isn't that good?
Although there are some minor flaws, they are not as serious as Gu Miao said, right?
Before Gu Miao could explain, the representative of the publisher on the other side also spoke, also expressing his disapproval.
Of course, his angle is very strange.
In his words, this is a "niche binge" movie, and the audience is likely to be smaller.
"You ......"
Gu Sanshui said no alone, Xiong always felt that it didn't matter, but even the publisher said so, which undoubtedly poured cold water on him.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "I think it's pretty good!" I've watched a lot of animated movies in the past two years, and I don't think there are many that can compare with the quality of "Kuiba". ”
"That's right!"
Gu Miao sighed and said, "But sometimes, it's not you who do well to reap the rewards you deserve." ”
Pay ≠ payoff!
In the film industry, this is an undisputed iron law. The thing that you get when you plant melons and you get beans doesn't apply to movies, especially animated movies.
The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat solemn.
Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little serious, Ma Kui said stiffly: "The movie hasn't been released yet...... There's no need to be so nervous, right? ”
"Just in case! I mean, what if the audience's tastes change, and they like "Kuiba" so much that it takes off at the box office? ”
"Makes sense!"
Mr. Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the movie was released, it was all fiction. Every year, there are quite a few movies that are not favored by distributors and end up being box office hits.
"Kuiba" may be the next one!
Regarding his fascination with confidence, Gu Miao shook his head noncommittally.
Truth be told, "Kuiba" tells a good story and is also a good anime. But the 90-minute limit of the movie is too great, and perhaps it is more suitable to replace it with a TV animation of dozens of episodes.
But he could only mutter a few words in his heart.
Get ready for the final judgment!
Gu Miao and Da Xiong have been planning for so long, aren't they waiting for this moment? When the movie "Kuiba" was submitted for review and release, Gu Miao raised her hands and feet in approval.
The reason why he pointed out that the film was not good just now was nothing more than to incite Mr. Xiao Xiong to spend more money on publicity.
Little Bear has been fooled!
Gu Miao and the distributor's representatives were not optimistic about "Kuiba", which gave him a great sense of crisis.
In order to ensure the smooth release of the movie and the box office will not lose too badly, he decided to find another 10 million in bank financing to promote the movie "Kuiba" and escort the box office.
"Add 10 million more ......"
Gu Miao frowned and said, "Xiong always wants to stop working hard?" I don't think this amount of money is enough! ”
"I ...... I tried my best. ”
Xiao Xiong always looked a little embarrassed, and his family knew about his family. His father just didn't cut off the father-son relationship with him, so why do you need to get money now?
I had to think of something else.
Bidding farewell to Mr. Xiao Xiong with an ugly expression, Gu Miao raised her eyebrows at the publisher's representative, and the two tacitly smiled.
"Cow wow!"
On the way back to the company, Gu Miao exclaimed: "I always thought that Da Xiong was only engaged in real estate, but I didn't expect that he could also intervene in the film distribution." ”
"Huh? Mr. Gu, do you mean ......?"
Ma Kui widened his eyes and asked, "That publisher's representative is also an internal ...... sent by President Da Xiong Oh no allies? ”
"He's not the only one!"
Looking at Mr. Gu's mysterious smile, Ma Kui swallowed his saliva, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
Turtle tortoise!
It's too hazy!
