One of the most intuitive benefits of holding a Wanbao Open Day event is to shorten the distance with fans, so that more people can deepen their understanding of Wanbao animation.

To speak human words is to be down-to-earth!

In the past, everyone's understanding of Wanbao animation was more of a short text introduction in a certain degree encyclopedia.

It's different now.

Through on-site visits, everyone also understood the normal operation logic of an animation company and the corresponding process of making animation.

Fans had a great time!

As for the media bloggers who were invited to visit, the harvest was even greater, after all, they had a lot of inside information in advance about this open day event.

For example, the information of the big movie "Bear Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark" that will be released in the summer, as well as the production progress of works such as "Roaming the World of Animation" and "Three Years of Son-in-law, I Am the Immortal King".

The outside world is very interested in the progress of these projects, and it is predictable that as soon as they send out this video, the number of views and attention they receive will definitely explode.

Of course!

This is also the result of Gu Miao's acquiescence.

With so many media bloggers helping to build publicity, you can save a lot of publicity and promotion expenses, why not?

And let's be honest.

The projects that disclose the progress of the open day activities are not projects with a particularly high degree of confidentiality, and the exposure is exposed.

Wanbao's real confidential content, such as the Superman reboot plan and the Inuyasha project of the Neon Division, is absolutely impossible for these media bloggers to know, and Gu Miao will not take the initiative to reveal it.

The open house lasted until the afternoon.

After eating a standard staff meal in Wanbao Canteen, Gu Miao took a group of executives to take a group photo with fans.

Originally, the event ended here, and all that was left was to go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and Gu Miao, who was tired for a day, didn't need to be a guest tour guide anymore, and took this group of people around.

Who knows, many animation video bloggers led by Liu Zida don't want to let him go at all, even if the event has ended, they still pester him for so-called group interviews.

Let's do the interview!

After inviting these vloggers and media reporters to a special reception room, and setting up microphones and lighting radio equipment in advance, the group interview began.

"Mr. Gu, I noticed that recently, Wanbao's works have basically been broadcast exclusively on online platforms, and have not been broadcast on TV platforms, does this mean that your company has given up on traditional TV animation?"

The first question is the dispute between online animation and TV animation that many people are concerned about, and I wonder what choice Wanbao will make?

"We haven't given up on TV animation, on the contrary, we're preparing to launch a pure TV anime in the second half of this year......"

Gu Miao denied this speculation.

Wanbao's overall business is indeed shifting to online animation, and 90% of new works are online exclusives.

But this does not mean that Wanbao Animation will not deal with TV stations in the future.

"SpongeBob SquarePants has been a big success overseas recently, and has been nominated for five Annie Awards, how does Mr. Gu feel about this?"

"I don't think much of it."

Gu Miao shook her head.

The Annie Award nomination for "SpongeBob SquarePants" has long been discussed within the company, and his attitude is still the same sentence: I have no interest in winning awards, I have never touched a trophy!

Five nominations are truly staggering.

But that's SpongeBob SquarePants! Other animations may cause controversy with so many nominations, but "SpongeBob SquarePants" is not so much.

Not to mention......

Although nominated for five awards, it is uncertain how many will be won.

Even if you take them all, it's only five mentions and five hits, which is still a little less interesting than the impression of "The Battle of Two Cities", which has nine mentions and nine grand slams.

From this point of view, the Annie Award only gave five nominations to "SpongeBob SquarePants" this time, and Gu Miao was actually a little dissatisfied.

……

"Only five nominations?!"

Dave also learned that SpongeBob SquarePants had received five nominations, and as the producer and chief director of the "SpongeBob SquarePants" animation, he was less angry than Gu Miao.

In his words, SpongeBob SquarePants has swept the entire European and American animation circles, winning the love of hundreds of millions of viewers.

This kind of animation is only five nominations?

Why?

Throughout the first half of this year, including the whole of last year, is there any European and American animation that can compare to "SpongeBob SquarePants"?

No! Not a single one!

This level of animation has only won five nominations, and even if Dave recognizes the gold content of the Annie Award, he can't help but wonder now, did "SpongeBob SquarePants" offend the judges?

"Okay, there's no need to dwell on it."

Gu Miao said freely: "Give us the award, then we will accept it, whether it is five nominations or nine nominations, there is no difference in essence." ”

Do the judges dislike SpongeBob SquarePants? Or don't like Wanbao?

Gu Miao doesn't care about this at all, anyway, whether they like it or not, it doesn't affect "SpongeBob SquarePants" is the most popular animation work in Europe and the United States today.

It's a good thing to get an award, and you don't have to mind if you don't get it.

Moreover, the Annie Award is not a White Lotus Award, and many animation companies and animation producers have publicly expressed their stance in the past, boycotting and refusing to accept the award.

The Oscars of animation?

Maybe yes, but don't forget when you say this, the Oscars themselves are not particularly clean, and the operations and shady scenes behind it are not uncommon.

"If you want me to say, in the future, we will run an award by ourselves, and the name will be Gu Miao Award, or Wanbao Award......

Du Hao squeezed his eyebrows and said, "When the time comes, who will go to join in the excitement of crooked nuts?" Trophies or something, you can take a few if you want! ”

"That's just for your own amusement."

Gu Miao shook his head, and didn't take Du Hao's joke seriously, because he knew very well that this kind of thing was unrealistic.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about your plans, I heard that the dragon mark and the moving trial word have come down?"

"yes!"

Du Hao nodded.

Other animation companies may be more troublesome to apply for the dragon mark and dynamic review words, and the approval speed is not so fast.

But Wanbao is different, Wanbao is a key enterprise registered with the higher authorities, and it has great appeal and influence in overseas markets.

For such an enterprise, the higher-level authorities must be a green light all the way, as far as possible not to lag behind, to help more high-quality enterprises like Wanbao go abroad and go to the world.

So not long after it was submitted for review, the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" had already obtained the accurate approval documents, and the schedule could be agreed.

Passing the review is yes.

As a big movie in the "Bear Infested" series, Raiders of the Lost Ark Bear Soldier itself has nothing to be sensitive, and the review is nothing more than a formality.

If even a film like Bear Infested can't pass the review, and it has to be deleted and reduced in various ways, then other animated films won't be alive?

"The summer vacation is probably the end of June."

Gu Miao has been away from campus for too long, and she has forgotten the specific time point of the summer vacation for primary and secondary school students.

But he estimated that it would only be the beginning of July at the latest, and it would not be too long anyway, after all, the college entrance examination would be in two days, and after the college entrance examination, high school students would have a holiday.

As everyone knows.

From primary school to university, the vacation time is reversed, that is, the higher the academic qualification, the earlier the vacation, and there are occasional exceptions.

The opposite is true for the time of enrollment, the higher the academic qualification, the earlier the enrollment.

Counting the days, the middle of June or the end of June should be the beginning of summer vacation in the general sense, which is just right for the release of the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

"That's what I thought too."

Du Hao nodded.

The holiday date of the summer vacation, each province has different arrangements, except that the college entrance examination is a fixed time period, the holiday is really hard to say.

But no matter how you calculate it, the end of June is the most suitable time.

As for the release after the college entrance examination?

Stop it!

The senior high school students who have finished the college entrance examination are like caged birds, how can they have the leisure and interest to watch the big movie "Bear Infested"?

Primary and secondary school students, including kindergarten children, these are the audiences that the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" should try its best to strive for.

High school students and college students, I can only say that I just let it go, I like to watch it or not, anyway, it's not bad at the box office......

End of June!

This is the movie release schedule decided by Gu Miao and Du Hao after discussion.

After the schedule is determined, it is necessary to make corresponding publicity and distribution arrangements around this schedule, communicate with the theater side, screen competing products that threaten the film in the same schedule, and so on.

The former goes without saying.

It's not the first time Wanbao has been engaged in an animated movie, the corresponding work arrangements have been prepared, Du Hao doesn't have to worry about it at all, and it's over waiting for the movie to be released smoothly.

The latter needs more attention.

Summer vacation has always been a key period in the film market, and one or two popular films with box office hits will emerge in the summer vacation over the years, including many annual box office champions.

Because of this, Gu Miao and Du Hao paid special attention to the films that may compete with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the summer vacation.

There are a lot of new films expected to be released this summer, but Du Hao glanced at it, except for two imported Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters that deserve attention, other domestic movies are not a problem.

"Not necessarily!"

After listening to Du Hao's analysis, Gu Miao said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with your analysis, Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters are indeed invincible." ”

"But this year's summer vacation, I think there will be accidents......"

Accidentally?

When Du Hao heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "Do you mean those domestic films?" No way? Can these domestic movies still overturn Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters? ”

It's not realistic.

The dominance of Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters can only be understood if you have experienced it yourself, and it is not an existence that domestic films can compete with.

In the past, there was no shortage of Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters that were cold at the box office after introduction and were not welcomed by domestic audiences.

But so what?

Even if it is cold and not many audiences are interested, these Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters can still sweep away the jaw-dropping box office in the Chinese film market.

Not to mention, the two Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters that will be introduced this summer are all orthodox sequels to popular works, and the previous work is a hot mess in China, and there is no reason why the sequel can't be popular.

Du Hao felt that Mr. Gu was a little too naïve.

The gap between the domestic film industry and Hollywood is not half a star, even if there are one or two dark horse films in the summer vacation, it is impossible to overturn Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters.

"Look at this ......"

Regarding Du Hao's questioning, Gu Miao didn't explain anything, just took out his mobile phone and pointed to a news report.

Du Hao glanced down.

[Well-known martial arts actor directed and acted, the action military movie "Wolf Warrior" ushered in a sequel, which is expected to be released in July......]

"I know this!"

Du Hao nodded and said: "Wolf warrior, I also went to the scene when the first part was released, and the shooting was very good, but the ceiling of military films is there." ”

"Then what do you think of the sequel to this film, which is now called Wolf Warrior 2?"

"Sequel ......"

Du Hao thought about it, and carefully analyzed it according to the results of the previous work: "Look at the quality of the finished film, the quality is excellent, with the blessing of the previous work's word-of-mouth, the box office of four or five billion should be stable." ”

Four or five billion box office?

After hearing this box office analysis from Du Hao's mouth, Gu Miao couldn't help grinning.

Boy!

Wolf Warrior 2, which shocked countless people, in Du Hao's eyes, can only get four or five billion box office?

Is this still the premise that the second part is of excellent quality and has the blessing of the previous word-of-mouth?

"Isn't that weird?"

Seeing that Mr. Gu's expression was a little crying and laughing, Du Hao thought that he had overestimated, and quickly explained: "The previous work is really okay, and the word-of-mouth response is quite good, and now the box office of domestic movies has generally taken off, and four or five billion is really not much." ”

"yes, I know."

"It is precisely because domestic cinemas are blooming everywhere and the box office is exploding, so I think this film may detonate the entire summer vacation."

Gu Miao said solemnly: "Four or five billion is still too conservative, in my opinion, this movie has to create a record, not only a record of military films, but a record of all types of films." ”

"No, no."

Du Hao waved his hand again and again: "I believe you say it's a dark horse, after all, the previous work has a good reputation, and it's not surprising that the sequel will explode." ”

"But creating a record or something, it is still too difficult for this kind of military war-themed film."

"Then you'll see!"

Gu Miao also knew that before the results came out, no one could have imagined how much of a sensation and movie-watching frenzy Wolf Warrior 2 would cause.

It's normal for Du Hao to think of it.

To be reasonable, if he were Du Hao, it is estimated that the domestic box office of a film can be so high.

But normal is normal, out of the protection of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Gu Miao still hopes to avoid the film Wolf Warrior 2, and it is best to stagger the release date.

"It's not necessary, is it?"

Du Hao doesn't understand, no matter how much he attaches importance to Wolf Warrior 2, there is no need to be afraid of this, right?

"You don't understand!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "Do as I say, first inquire about the release date of Wolf Warrior 2, the Raiders of the Lost Ark must be released in advance, preferably a month in advance." ”

In this way, even if Wolf Warrior 2 goes against the sky, it will not have much impact on the upcoming Raiders of the Lost Ark.

"A month in advance?"

Du Hao thought about it, although he couldn't understand why Mr. Gu was so afraid of an action movie with the theme of military war, he still decided to do what Mr. Gu said.

No way.

Mr. Gu is the producer and the boss of the company, and no one dares to object to his decision.

On the other hand, Mr. Gu is so sure, maybe he received some inside information in advance, and he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

One update in the past two days.,It's all two-in-one chapters.,The main thing is that I'm too lazy to think about the chapter name.,The update hasn't decreased......
