Chapter 451: Box Office Poison - Hou Bin (Ask for Subscription)

A pleasant holiday is over.

After playing in Neon for a week, Gu Miao took the employees who had gained a lot and boarded the return flight.

It's been a great week.

Under the arrangement of TBS and ANB TV, Gu Miao took people to visit a number of neon local animation companies and gained valuable experience.

Especially in the field of 2D animation.

As we all know, neon 2D anime is particularly strong. Although Wanbao is the number one animation company in China, there are still many gaps in this regard.

Learning and learning from each other's strengths is actually not a shame for Wanbao Animation. After all, as the old saying goes, there must be my teacher in a threesome!

Of course......

In the process of visiting these neon local animation companies, everyone also found some common problems about the neon animation industry.

For example, the hidden danger of "quality instability" brought about by the weekly broadcast system.

Neon animation is generally based on "weekly broadcasting". Under this broadcasting system, the construction period becomes extremely "fatal".

In order to meet the deadline, the quality of the works was seriously uneven.

And the production budget allocated to each episode is actually not fixed, and it depends on how much money the production committee is willing to allot.

This is where a situation arises.

The same TV animation, probably produced last week, the construction period was very generous and the production committee was very generous, and a large amount of money was approved.

So well done this episode thief!

By the turn of the following week, the episode was a stumbling episode due to the lack of schedules and the reluctance of the production committee to approve a large budget.

The quality of the work is extremely unstable.

In all fairness, Gu Miao felt that this was not good. The same animation, why can the production level of the previous episode and the next episode be so different?

It's just powerless to complain.

In addition, Gu Miao also found a problem. That is, many people in China overestimate the "average level" of neon animation.

in the country.

Whether it's a TV station or a video website, the neon anime broadcast is almost always a first-class masterpiece, and the look and feel is excellent and rave reviews.

This directly leads to the narrow-mindedness of some people that all neon animations are so stubborn, which is completely the level of "Guoman".

But in fact......

There are also a lot of neon local "spicy chicken anime", and there are even too many to count. Most of the animation, in fact, can be called "bad movies".

And these rotten animations have completely become "outcasts" after they were broadcast locally on Neon.

Since no one introduced it to China, the domestic audience has not seen it and does not know that there are so many bad movies produced by Neon in a year?

Typical one-leaf blindness.

……

After returning to China, Gu Miao did not devote himself to the production of the animation "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Kingdom" for the first time.

He went to the lightning studio first.

The movie Armageddon! "Dragon Fighter X-ray Energy Messenger" was released for more than half a month, and the box office barely exceeded 18 million yuan.

This is a heavy blow to Hou Bin.

At the beginning of the year, the box office of the movie "Pleasant Goat and the Snake of the Big Big Wolf" exceeded 500 million, how exciting.

At the time he thought.

Even if the theatrical version he made is far less good than "The Snake Comes to Run", it can't earn 500 million box office. But anyway, it should be possible to cut a 100 million box office, right?

Based on this self-confidence, he rejected Mr. Gu's proposal and chose Toutie to land in the theater for screening.

As it turned out, he overestimated himself.

Let's not talk about the unreachable 100 million box office, when the movie is released, the total box office can exceed 20 million, thank God.

"Okay, what's the sigh?"

Gu Miao comforted: "If it doesn't work once, then do it again!" We don't have much else, but there are a lot of IPs, and you can shoot as many animated movies as you want. ”

"That's what I said, but ......"

"Forget it, I don't think making movies is for me. Fortunately, this theatrical version has not invested much, and I really don't know what to say if it is of the level of "Kuiba". ”

Hou Bin sighed, once again realizing the fact that he was a "box office poison".

From "Kuiba" to the theatrical version of "Dragon Fighter X-ray Energy Messenger", he has made two animated movies.

The result is worse than the other.

The first time was an accident, and the second time was also an accident? He didn't believe it himself.

What about making Nima animated movies?

Don't shoot anymore! Get lost!

Hou Bin, who finally realized that he was not the material, gave up on himself and said: "I'm still going to do TV animation, or this is more suitable for me." ”

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Haha! No problem. ”

Gu Miao smiled and asked, "Have you thought about what project you want to do?" If you haven't thought about it, how many projects do I have here, what do you think? ”

After saying this, he took out a stack of paper files that had already been prepared from the document bag he was carrying and handed them to Hou Bin.

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Whimsical Pleasant Goat"!

"Happy Baby: Happy Superman"!

"Little Master of China 2"!

《X》!

Four animation plans, Hou Bin was surprised.

Although most of them are sequels, sequels do not mean that the production budget is very low! If all four projects are confirmed, you can count original works such as Yu-Gi-Oh that are currently in production.

Good boy!

Is Wanbao Animation so rich now? Can you start so many projects in one go?

Looking at the domestic animation industry, this wealthy posture is second only to Plum Blossom Animation, which is backed by penguins.

While sighing at the current scale and financial resources of Wanbao Animation, Hou Bin, who was flipping through the four plans, suddenly pointed to the word "X" and asked.

"Mr. Gu, what is this X?"

"Codename ......"

Gu Miao said embarrassedly: "This is an original animation project, and I haven't figured out what to call it for the time being, so I can only replace it with the letter X first." ”

Original?

Hou Bin, who heard these two words, immediately became interested, put aside the first three sequels, and directly opened the project called X.

Unfortunately, there is nothing in it.

Looking at the blank stall, the corners of Hou Bin's mouth twitched: "Mr. Gu, what are you letting me see?" Didn't take a name, didn't have a basic overview? ”

"Didn't you just come back from Neon and didn't have time to write it!"

Gu Miao touched her chin and asked, "Listen to what you mean, are you curious about this project?" ”

"A little ......"

"Okay, come back to me. I'll talk to you about it. ”

Gu Miao raised her wrist, glanced at the time on her watch and said, "Due to lack of time, I can only briefly tell you that this is an animation with a special nature." ”

"Special nature? How special is it? ”

"Let's put it this way......"

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "Anthropomorphize our Huaguo into a rabbit, and tell the whole process of changing the world in this country from the perspective of animals." ”

Belch!

Hearing this, Hou Bin was dumbfounded. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "That's really ...... It's special! ”

Anthropomorphizing a country?

What kind of weird brain hole is this?
