Ma Kui's words are not unreasonable.

Is food unpopular? A: Yes! No matter what country it is, as long as it's a food animation, it can be said to be unpopular.

Rainbow?

It is undeniable that there are indeed a lot of neon stars, and there are many animations that focus on "gourmet cuisine".

But compared to popular themes such as "Another World", "Campus Love" and "Fantasy Adventure", isn't food fan still unpopular?

Of course!

In essence, "Little Master of China" is actually not a particularly pure "food fan". Aside from the point of "glowing cuisine",In fact, the core is still the classic "hot-blooded" of Japanese comics.

It's just that it's just covered with a layer of "cooking food" skin.

Or is that the problem......

Regardless of this animation, the essence is "hot-blooded" or "gourmet", the upper limit of the theme is here, will anyone really be interested, will there be results?

Magui was skeptical.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Mr. Gu's vision, but he thinks that his "gourmet fan" is not good. Even if you do it at the top level, in fact, the results are just like that.

Can it still achieve the "circle-breaking" level of "Sailor Moon"?

"Why not?"

Gu Miao asked rhetorically: "I admit that food is unpopular, but you said that the upper limit of this theme is low, I don't think it's right." ”

Low ceiling on food themes?

Where did this fallacy come from? The food genre is really unpopular, but the ceiling has always been high, right?

Take documentaries, for example.

A "Bite of China" is popular all over the country, successfully achieving the "breaking the circle" effect, proving that the upper limit of food documentaries can also be very high.

Tomato is free to read

Take online texts as an example.

A "Food Supplier" was also popular on the whole network, although it did not "break the circle", but it also set off a frenzy of "food themes" in that year.

Take variety shows as an example.

"Chinese Restaurant" and "Longing for Life", which are more relaxed and daily food variety shows, don't the ratings be quite high?

Let's go back to the anime field......

Food-themed animations and comics are rare, but the upper limit is not low!

Aren't "The Spirit of the Halberd", "The Little Master of China", "The Captive of Food" and "The Little Fortune of the Divine Chef", etc., not enough to prove the upper limit?

"Don't be embarrassed!"

"I know you want to say that the theme of food is unpopular, and there are relatively few people who see it......"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "But have you ever considered a possibility, in fact, there are many foodies in this world?" ”

"Everyone doesn't see much because of the food in the past, which can't impress them. But if you can impress these foodies, do you think it's still difficult to get results? ”

Belch!

Ma Kui was stunned.

It seems that this is the reason.,Everyone is a foodie.,The reason why you're not interested in food is because it's too bad to arouse your appetite.。

If the shooting is really good-looking, and the food is also mouth-watering, it is indeed easy to get results!

"But ......"

Seeing that Ma Kui had been persuaded by himself, Gu Miao smiled bitterly and said, "You just said that it is difficult to make peripheral derivatives for gourmet food, which is an indisputable fact. ”

Fatal flaw!

Food is good at everything, but it is difficult to do peripheral derivatives.

Unless there is a beautiful and cute heroine who speaks softly and cooks fragrantly, and can charm thousands of old ruffians, I am afraid that even the "figure" will not be sold.

And "Little Master of China"?!

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it, except for Zhou Meili, the heroine, who can barely be called "pleasing to the eye and beautiful", the other characters seem to be a little "abstract".

It's hard to be a mussel!

Expecting to make a lot of money selling figures, I'm afraid there is little hope. The male protagonist Liu Pleiaus, that is, the little master, is certainly handsome, but ......

"Did you buy his figurine?"

"Don't buy it!"

"Why not buy it? Am I not handsome enough? Or do you like something else? ”

"If he runs a cooking class, or a restaurant, then I'll definitely take care of the business, as for the figures...... Who buys his figure for a serious person? ”

You don't have to think about it to know that a bunch of foodies are only interested in glowing cuisine, chef Liu Pleiasion? Serious people who are interested in chefs!

Gu Miao was about to shut herself up.

Although it is said that he can make money without relying on peripheral derivatives, after all, the quality of "Little Master of China" is here, how can he lose money?

But he believed in one truth:

Earn less = lose!

Obviously, you can make a lot of money, but if you can't earn it, isn't it a blood loss?

A popular animation work like "Little Master of China", if there is no money in the peripheral derivatives, then he can't sleep at night.

However, there are really no peripherals to come out!

You can't make a [glowing egg fried rice] figure and perform a magic trick that you can only watch but not eat, right?

That's a bit abstract!

Driving away Ma Kui, who was only concerned about drinking tea and almost didn't give him the tea leaves, Gu Miao thought about it in the office for an afternoon.

Finally, when he was about to leave work, he finally thought about it.

Why can't you sell recipes?

"Little Master Push! Ten dishes that novice chefs must learn when they get started", "Yangquan Restaurant's Specialty Dishes", "Liu Pleiades teaches you how to cook", "Yangquan Restaurant is all in C! - The Youngest Master Chef in History......

It's fascinating to listen to!

Now that the teaching book market is so hot, there is no reason why the recipes for teaching cooking skills can't be sold? What's more, this is still a recipe for the little masters!

Take a bigger step.

The recipes are all there, and the "Little Master Certification" gold medal kitchenware has to be a whole set?

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if the cooking skills are bad, the kitchenware must not be bad!

Even if you end up making a plate of dark dishes, it is a dark dish made with gold medal kitchenware, and the value is completely different.

Just as Gu Miao was thinking about how to fool him into cooperating with him to make a "little master's cookbook" after the state banquet-level cooking director was in place, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

"Mr. Gu, a guest has come to visit you."

The little girl at the front desk walked in and reported: "He claims to be your junior high school classmate, surnamed Li, do you want to meet him?" ”

Surname Li, junior high school classmate?

Gu Miao suddenly wondered, among his junior high school classmates, there seemed to be quite a lot of people with the surname Li, which one was this?

And inexplicably the junior high school classmates came to visit, which doesn't seem to be good news! It can't be that he learned that he was rich, so he deliberately ran to hug his thighs to borrow money, right?

That's a nuisance!

It's no wonder that Gu Miao thinks so badly of people, mainly because he has been graduating for so many years and has long since cut off contact with his former classmates.

I haven't been in touch for so many years......

He had just been on the rich list on his front foot, and he suddenly came to visit him, and it was certainly impossible to say that he didn't think about it.

But!

Everyone came to the door, as an old classmate from the past, whether it was borrowing money or not, Gu Miao always had to go out to meet.

Otherwise, if it gets out, I think how big his shelf is, and even his old classmates don't want to take care of it.
