Chapter 591: Wanbao Cup (Ask for Subscription)
Pull Sponsorship!
This is one thing that an animation company does on a regular basis.
Not to mention that the Wanbao family has a big business, and it doesn't look down on this little money. No matter how much money Wanbao has, it can't be wasted at will, and the sponsorship has to be pulled, and it can save a little bit.
When deciding to make the animation of "The Prince of Tennis", Gu Miao thought of it.
Is it possible to discuss with those sports equipment brands and pull sponsorship? Anyway, things like rackets and ball machines won't look very abrupt with a trademark.
It was just a flash of inspiration.
As for whether this sponsorship can be pulled, to be honest, Gu Miao has no bottom in his heart. He just asked Ma Kui to contact him, and it was best to negotiate, and it didn't matter if he couldn't negotiate.
I didn't expect it, but it was really done!
A professional tennis brand from Pengcheng agreed to sponsor the animation of "The Prince of Tennis", providing a very considerable sponsorship fee for the animation production team.
Of course, the requirements are also simple.
Their family mainly produces racket products, so they asked Gu Miao to give more close-up pictures of the players' rackets, so that the audience can see the trademark LOGO on the racket grip.
This sprinkle is sprinkled!
Even if the other party doesn't mention this request, the animation "The Prince of Tennis" often gives close-ups of the racket.
It's just a big deal to add a logo.
The sponsorship was quickly finalized, and at the same time, the Wanbao Cup and the National Middle School Tennis Tournament, which were exclusively sponsored by Gu Miao and Wanbao Group, and dozens of middle schools in China signed up to participate, are also about to start.
This is Gu Miao's bad taste.
In reality, there are no tennis tournaments for middle school students that schools participate in, but more tournaments that focus on individual players.
No way, middle school is not easy to organize.
At the university level, it may be realistic to compete on a school-by-school basis, but at the middle school level, it is difficult to organize a national competition like this.
After Gu Miao learned the news, he immediately said that he wanted to sponsor this event and actively contacted middle school tennis clubs across the country.
The response was overwhelming.
Isn't the sense of collective honor rattling up when the school is used as a unit to compete and collide?
Abbreviation: Wanbao Cup!
Although it is only a cup competition, the contestants are all from various middle schools, and they belong to ordinary junior high and high school students.
But Gu Miao is very ambitious.
He is thinking about going back and waiting for the "Prince of Tennis" animation to be broadcast, and then upgrade this event to hold a world-class tennis intercollegiate tournament for middle school students.
Determine the best tennis middle school in the world!
This kind of intercollegiate tennis tournament focusing on junior high school students is quite rare to be honest, and it has little exposure, let alone sponsors worth mentioning.
But what level is Wanbao?
Sponsored by Wanbao Group, coupled with the popularity of the "Prince of Tennis" animation after the broadcast, this event is sure to become very popular.
Maybe......
Many years later, there may be many professional tennis players, all of whom came from this middle school tennis tournament.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is that Gu Miao hopes that by sponsoring such competitions, domestic children can enjoy tennis more.
It's best to come out with one or two legendary tennis players whose status is comparable to that of [Echizen Minamijiro].
Well, that's a bit fake.
However, there are more such events to let the sport of tennis penetrate more deeply into the campus. It may not be possible to see any effect in the short term.
But after a long time, domestic tennis players will definitely spring up one after another. It's not hard to have one or two top players.
……
The production of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" is still in full swing.
So far, the intramural ranking competition of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has not been completed! Ryoma is still fighting with Qian Zhenzhi, and he is still a while away from becoming a member of the main selection team.
And on the other side.
It is also a key project of Wanbao Animation in the first half of this year, and it is a special animated film, and the production progress of "Horse Galloping" of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf is quite gratifying.
Du Hao has been in retreat for almost a month.
In this month, everyone knew what he was busy with, and they also knew that the movie "Horse Galloping" had entered the final sprint, and they didn't bother him.
Until two days ago.
Gu Miao suddenly received a call from Du Hao and was invited by him to come to the production team of the movie "Horse Galloping" to see the results of his month-long retreat.
The so-called results are actually only 5 minutes......
That's right!
Du Hao led the production team of the movie "Horse Galloping" to retreat for a month and only made a 5-minute animation.
Although it sounds very short, after all, an animated movie often lasts seventy or eighty minutes, and some even exceed hundreds of minutes, and only five minutes is not worth mentioning.
But Gu Miao didn't think so.
After reading the full script, he knows that this short five minutes is definitely the essence of the entire "Horse Galloping" movie.
The room suddenly darkened.
The projection room, with all the lights off, was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping. Gu Miao, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the screen intently.
"Come on, cookies!"
"Run faster, run faster!"
In the screen, there is a scene of the gray wolf and the pleasant goat, standing outside the field to cheer for the cookies.
The outfits of the two are interesting.
The Pleasant Goat held a support stick in his hand, and the gray wolf tied a red ribbon with the words "Come on" on his head, and beat the drum desperately.
Not far away is the racecourse.
The tall and handsome horse clan elites are like a whirlwind blowing, rolling up the dust all over the sky, and the speed is shocking.
And among the horses, the black and ugly, thin and slow biscuits, are particularly eye-catching.
He ran too slowly.
Not only was he thrown away by others, but his running posture was extremely ugly, as if he was jumping forward.
Seeing this, everyone in Sheep Village and the three members of the Big Big Wolf family were extremely worried.
The animals on the grassland laughed at the biscuits, not understanding how there could be such a disgraceful contestant in a good horse race?
"Biscuits, my brother!"
"You're a disgrace to the horses, who likes a short, thin, black, ugly horse like you......
Running in front was Biscuit's older brother, who, unlike Biscuit, who was short and thin, was a tall and mighty white horse.
I saw him turn around, glance at the biscuit hanging at the back of the line, and then pass his opponent without saying a word.
"I'm not ashamed!"
"I have partners, and I have people who support me! I'm going to run for the big gray wolf and the pleasant goat......
As if the biscuit was stimulated by his brother, he changed his cowardly and timid nature in the past, and suddenly began to run in stride.
The special training of the gray wolf and the pleasant goat still played a role, at least the biscuit's current running posture is much more effective than before.
It's getting faster, too!
But his injured leg is still a great hidden danger, and the special instruments invented by the gray wolf and the slow sheep have not completely cured him.
As the saying goes.
The more you don't want it to happen, the more likely it is to happen!
The hidden danger of a leg injury, which had not broken out in training before, broke out in this extremely crucial game.
The biscuit, which accidentally tripped over a stone, fell to the ground in pain.
By the time he staggered to his feet, he was not only much behind the others, but he was running slower than before because of his leg injury.
"Cookies! Cookies!"
"Come on! Biscuit Brother ......"
Just when Biscuit was disheartened, the cheering sound from Little Gray Ash and Lazy Sheep and others in the stands came to his ears, making him regain his confidence again.
「
Biscuit, you're not a good racehorse, you can't run at all!"
"You're a disgrace to the horses!"
The old encounters reappeared, and then there were pictures of the gray wolf and the pleasant goat, and everyone was doing their best to help him.
"Big Big Wolf, I really can't run......
"Less nonsense! If you don't finish this lap today, this king will eat you immediately!"
"Pleasant Goat ......"
"Biscuits, you're running so fast! When you're done, how about we try again?"
The encouragement of his peers allowed Biscuit to find the meaning of running desperately. Looking at the gray wolf who was beating the drum desperately, the tired and sweaty biscuits suddenly emerged with infinite strength.
"The cookies are speeding up!"
"It's so fast! He was like a bolt of lightning, he caught up with the 13th in front of him, overtaking! He's overtaken his opponent, he's still accelerating......
Run!
Keep running!
The meaning of running desperately is not to cross the finish line, but to be for those who believe in him, the cookie at the moment, is not fighting alone.
"Oh no!"
The village chief, Slow Sheep, seemed to see something, and said in shock, "Biscuit's leg...... He can't keep running, let him stop!"
Stop?
The cry of the Pleasant Goat, Biscuit heard. But he raised his head and stared at the finish line in front of him, and did not choose to stop.
Although limping.
Although it is not favored.
Despite his cowardice, he still has to cross the finish line, and he has to prove that he can and that he can run fast......
