Regarding the sister chapter of "Dragon Fighter", that is, the animation project of "Light Messenger", Hou Bin actually knows.

This makes sense.

After all, last year, not long after the animation "Dragon Fighter" was broadcast, Mr. Gu told everyone that he wanted to make an animation with a similar setting to seize market share.

Why?

Because "Dragon Fighter" is on fire! And after it was broadcast, it was hotly discussed, and it can be called the best feature-length adventure animation of the year.

In this case, everyone thinks that there must be friends who choose to follow suit and launch animations with similar themes in "Dragon Fighter" to get a piece of the pie.

Then here's the problem!

Since there is a high probability that friends will follow the trend and come to this theme to get a piece of the pie, why doesn't Wanbao release another similar animation and finish the cake in advance?

Actually, at the beginning.

Within Wanbao Animation, everyone has two completely different attitudes towards this conclusion.

The first attitude is to "wait and see".

That's right, "Dragon Fighter" is on fire! But this doesn't mean that animations with similar themes can still be popular, what if the audience is aesthetically fatigued?

In that case, it is better to wait and see what happens. Stabilize your position first, see what your friends do, if you really can't do it, make a "Dragon Fighter 2" to continue the heat!

The second attitude is "I want it all"!

"Dragon Fighter" has brought fire to the theme of mecha adventure in another world, and its unique Japanese-style RPG plot mode is also loved by the audience.

The market has opened.

Since it has proved that this road is feasible, and the audience still likes it, the peripheral derivatives make a lot of money. So why not take the opportunity to launch more works and grab market share?

What is it called?

Take the path of friends and businessmen, so that friends have no way out.

In these two attitudes, Gu Miao clearly supports the latter. Because the income of "Dragon Fighter" toys is too high and too profitable, it is impossible for him to pretend not to see it.

Hou Bin did not support anyone.

As an independent and objective third-party representative, he only heard at a dinner party that Mr. Gu decided to take advantage of the popularity of "Dragon Fighter" and launch a sister animation.

At that time, it was not called "Lightbringer", but at first it seemed to be called "Demon King......

Hou Bin also forgot.

Anyway, he remembered that this project was only confirmed in the first half of this year, and it was listed as a "key" project of Lightning Studio along with "Dragon Fighter 2".

That's not the point.

The point is that as soon as Mr. Gu mentioned "Light Messenger", Hou Bin immediately thought of answering.

Armageddon! Dragon Fighter X-ray Emissary, Nether Walker from Hell! 》

All right!

Everyone thought it was just a joke made by Mr. Gu, and they didn't pay much attention to it. The result is good now, Mr. Gu, are you really here?

Is there really such a theatrical version?

"Absolutely."

Gu Miao affirmed: "How is it?" Are you interested in this project? It just so happens that there is a lack of a director at Lightning Studios, so I think you can try it. ”

engulf

"I ...... Can I do it? ”

Hou Bin rubbed his hands and asked with some confidence.

The theatrical version of the movie!

To say that he is not interested in this must be a lie! What animator can resist the temptation to make an animated movie with his own hands?

But he is also very weak-hearted.

Hou Bin's previous resume is really not good-looking. The only animated movie "Kuiba 1", which also made Little Bear lose so much that he almost didn't sell his leggings.

I'm a little unconfident.

If there was no experience of "Kuiba's 100,000 Urgent", Hou Bin would definitely accept the challenge with confidence, and said: It's on me, you can put 10,000 hearts!

But once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years!

Looking at the fate of Mr. Xiaoxiong, Hou Bin is really a little worried, if he messes up this project, Mr. Gu will not also run away with a bucket and leave him with a reputation as a "boss killer", right?

"Hold the grass! Hou Bin! ”

"Who's that? Why are you so surprised? ”

"You don't know him? Hou Bin, the famous [boss killer] in the domestic animation industry! The people who have been his boss have all gone bankrupt and run away! ”

"Ha people! It's so ......"

Just thinking about it, Hou Bin felt that he was a little empty!

has already cried a boss, he can't cry Mr. Gu anymore! Otherwise, how will he find a job in the future?

As soon as the resume is submitted, HR will take a look, wow! This person is terrible, he has already cheated two bosses and caused two animation companies to go bankrupt?

What do you mean by a mourning star?!

Hou Bin, who didn't want to be unemployed for the time being, although he was very moved, he still persuaded Gu Miao and asked him to think about it again.

"Don't think about it."

Gu Miao said finally: "You don't have to be modest, the company has already studied and decided to let you be the director." ”

"That'...... That's fine. ”

Although Hou Bin was beating a drum in his heart, but Mr. Gu had said everything about this, and he didn't seem to be very sensible if he refused, so he could only grit his teeth and nod.

"Don't worry."

"This movie, the production budget is not too high, and it is not going to the box office, so you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself."

Gu Miao's expression was relaxed and said: "The box office part, just leave it to "Snake to Run". ”

"Huh?! Don't want to box office? ”

Hou Bin was shocked by these words, and subconsciously asked: "Isn't it just to go to the box office to engage in animated movies?" Don't want the box office, so what? ”

"Who told you that animated films can only rely on the box office to recoup their costs?"

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of movie are you?" The X-ray messenger of the dragon fighter is clearly selling toys! ”

"As long as the toy sells well, does it matter how high or low the box office is? If it's good, it's called the theatrical version, but it's hard to hear, this is a commercial film! ”

New Ideas Get!

When Hou Bin heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand! Does it mean that the goal of this movie is actually to release an exclusive toy for the theatrical version? ”

"Bingo!"

Gu Miao snapped her fingers, nodded and praised: "That's right, the original intention of filming the theater version was to find an excuse to come up with a new toy!" ”

Otherwise, why shoot the theatrical version?

As we all know, in addition to the belief that the animated theatrical version can harvest a group of die-hard fans, there is no use for fart!

Gu Miao spent tens of millions, so she can't just stare at that box office, right? What can you do at the box office? After dividing the accounts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even recover the cost.

Therefore, Gu Miao's goal from beginning to end is only one: peripheral derivatives!

It's not to sell peripheral derivatives, especially toy products, who is so idle and spend so much money on a theatrical version?

He's not a philanthropic pioneer!

Gu Miao has already thought about it, and in the name of this theatrical version, he will give a new "form" to the Dragon God and the Demon King of the Earth, and make a lot of money!

This form is very cool!

Invincible, you know? It's very powerful, and I feel like I'll lose 100 million if I don't buy it......

It doesn't matter if you watch the movie or not, anyway, the plot is nothing more than summoning the Dragon God and the Demon King of the Earth to fight monsters, and brushing the book.

But this new form must be started, otherwise you won't be able to raise your head in school, and you won't be able to show off to your friends.
