Chapter 171: AI Football? (Ask for subscription)
October, Zhonghai.
The 8th China Animation & Game Exhibition arrived as scheduled, and animation, comics, and game practitioners from all over the country gathered together to promote their works to domestic and overseas markets.
Wanbao Group also participated in the exhibition.
Different from the 7th Anime & Game Exhibition, although the last one was held in Jiangchuan, Wanbao had a natural "home" advantage, but Wanbao was too weak at that time.
None of the organizers invited Wanbao.
Director Wang still felt that he could use this platform to introduce the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" to overseas media practitioners, and Gu Miao ran to the exhibition.
But this is a different story......
As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully Wanbao poor!
It's not been 30 years, and in just one year, Wanbao has gradually transformed from a start-up company into a major player in the industry, with a number of well-known masterpieces.
In this case, even if no one reminded him, Gu Miao forgot about it. The organizer will also make a special call to invite Wanbao to participate in the exhibition.
What?
You say it's discriminatory?
The organizer said that we just hate the poor and love the rich, we are just shameless, and if you don't accept it, you will hold back!
Not everyone gets an invitation!
Being invited by the organizer to participate in the exhibition shows that the hard power of Wanbao Animation has reached the level of a first-line domestic manufacturer.
In a nutshell......
In the past, when Wanbao was still very weak, it was an honor for Wanbao to be able to participate in the exhibition. And now, it is an honor for the organizers to participate in the exhibition.
Gu Miao didn't want to participate in the exhibition at first.
But the organizer was too enthusiastic and spoke nicely, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only send a team of elite soldiers to participate in the exhibition, led by Huang Kun.
He didn't go himself.
The production of the animation "Happy Baby" is coming to an end, and he is very busy, how can he have time to go to Zhonghai to participate in any comic exhibition?
It just so happened that Huang Kun had nothing to do recently, so he simply asked him to take the "Happy Baby" PV trailer and the draft plan of "Pokémon" to the exhibition to draw a pie.
Flappy Animation also went to the exhibition.
Led by Mr. Xiao Xiong himself, he not only took out the unannounced movie trailer of "Kuiba", but also prepared more than 1,000 copies of "The Book of Kuiba".
Looks pretty good?
But according to the news sent back by Huang Kun to Gu Miao, the trailer of "Kuiba" exhibited by Feiyang Animation this time did not have a good publicity and promotion effect.
The 1,000 copies of the Book of Kuiba have not been sold out, and Huang Kun has estimated that only about half of them have been sold.
"The waiter's face is black."
After Huang Kun came back, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Gu, you didn't go to the scene, you don't know how deserted the exhibition area was at that time......
Think about it too!
Compared with lightness, the Book of Kuiba is more inclined to "historical materials" works. The content is boring and boring, and if you are not particularly interested, it is estimated that you will be sleepy after reading two pages.
Just this kind of book, and you still want to sell it?
Instead of buying this kind of book, it is better to go to the Wanbao comic exhibition area next door to buy two comics, or go to other exhibition areas to buy two light books.
Gu Miao had expected this.
Although the Book of Quibal was something he proposed, to be honest, he didn't like to read it himself, it was too boring.
Half of it is very powerful!
If it's him......
Gu Miao scratched his head and thought about it, if he encountered this situation, he should choose to "give away books for free" to tourists.
Who doesn't love free?
As long as it's free, the books should be out quickly. Those who receive the book, whether they like it or not, must open it and read it a few times when they get home, right?
ok!
As long as you take a few glances and understand a little bit about the world view of "Kuiba", you have to take a look at the movie when it comes out, right?
This creates a cycle!
It's a pity that the little bear of Feiyang Animation, or the waiting director, doesn't have the courage to give up that little money.
"Kuiba" is cold, which is expected.
But in this exhibition, another work that shined shocked Gu Miao.
Don't get me wrong!
He is not surprised that someone has stolen the limelight of Wanbao Animation, let alone that this animation is a very rare "sports competition" theme.
What really surprised him was that it was a film about an "artificial intelligence robot" playing football under the command of his owner.
"Super Smart Football"?
Gu Miao thought of this name for the first time, and thought it was a change in the world line, which led to the birth of this animation.
Later, when I asked Huang Kun, I learned that this animation work, which was in the limelight at this exhibition, was not called super intelligent football, but "AI football".
To be honest, there is a big difference between the two.
"AI Football" is an animation produced by an animation company that a technology Internet company deliberately spent a huge amount of money to entrust an animation company in order to promote its own AI assistant.
The plot and character design are also far from Gu Miao's impression of "Super Intelligent Football".
The only thing in common......
Presumably, the protagonists are all AI robots, the themes are football, and thanks to the large investment of Internet giants, the animation is completed with high quality.
"This anime is very bite!"
Huang Kunqi was amazed: "After taking a look at the scene, the quality of the finish should have reached the top level in the industry. I estimate that the average production cost per minute will not be less than 200,000. ”
It's scary!
200,000 per minute, if an episode is 20 minutes, that's 4 million! 40 episodes is 160 million, a super production in every sense.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being an Internet giant, and it is generous to make a move.
This production cost, Gu Miao next door cried greedily. Don't look at Wanbao making so much money, but let him make such an expensive animation, he is really reluctant.
"This is the first TV animation in China to be produced in 16:9 high-definition method, which is of great significance......"
Huang Kun shook his head and said: "Almost everyone is stunned, the exhibition area is called a hot one!" Many media reporters said that this is the most technical domestic animation they have ever seen! ”
"Fart!"
Gu Miao said disdainfully: "Expensive is good?" What a bullshit conclusion this is! In the era of pure hand-drawing, several animations were made by Zhonghai Meiying Studio, which was the embodiment of technical strength! ”
"People are laymen......
Huang Kun said with a smile: "In the eyes of these laymen, "AI Football" spent so much money to make such a delicate and high-quality animated feature film, and the technology is indeed very good. ”
Of course, this is the layman's opinion.
In fact, as long as the money is enough, Wanbao can also make an animation of the same quality, and it can even be more exquisite and gorgeous than "AI Football".
But here's the problem......
Where does the money come from? Wanbao is not an Internet giant, how can it burn so much money to engage in this kind of "bells and whistles" animation?
Therefore, the conclusions of these laymen are outrageous.
In their eyes, other domestic animation companies are all spicy chickens, and only the company "AI Football" is the real god.
People are backed by big money owners, there is no shortage of money, and other companies are self-reliant, so can it be the same?
