Summer vacation files need a hero.

But it's a pity that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" can't become this hero, at most it can only become a bear.

Because in the second week, after the cumulative box office exceeded the billion mark, the growth rate of the box office has begun to decline, and it is obvious that the potential is insufficient.

1.2 billion, 1.4 billion......

With the slowdown in box office growth and the continuous decline in attendance, the theater chain has also lowered the number of screenings of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" from the third week.

Combined with the above factors, when the film entered the fourth week of screening, the box office could break through 1.5 billion, barely reaching the company's expected goal.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

As the time came to late July, Gu Miao's mood became extremely excited, because the film came, and it appeared on the stage with the stereo.

At first, no one paid attention.

Even if this movie achieves the achievement of "box office over 100 million" in just four hours after its release, and the box office breaks through 300 million in one day, and the whole network sets off a frenzy of discussion, no one will feel that there is anything wrong.

Only in the eyes of those film practitioners can they understand the gold content of breaking 100 million in four hours and slashing 300 million at the box office in one day.

"This ...... This is outrageous! ”

Du Hao, who originally scoffed at Mr. Gu's statement, saw the amazing premiere performance of "Wolf Warrior 2", and was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you hadn't listened to me and let the Raiders of the Lost Ark Bear meet this movie, do you think the Raiders of the Lost Ark Bear Soldiers would still have a box office of 1.5 billion?" ”

"Definitely not!"

"Don't talk about 1.5 billion, I'm afraid it's hard to even have a box office of 100 million at the same time as this thing......"

Du Hao's eyes were full of happiness for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, even if he was confident and saw the amazing results of the 300 million box office in a single day, he was also stunned at this time.

Breaking 100 million in four hours, 300 million in a single day!

What a brilliant premiere result? At this rate, how long will it take to break 500 million? What about breaking a billion? How much box office will it be by the time it comes to release?

"It's hard to say, maybe it's 500 million today, and 1 billion tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Gu Miao shook her head and said with a hint of uncertainty: "As for the final box office...... If there is no external blessing, it may start at 3 billion! If there is an external force, then 5 billion is not impossible. ”

"External forces?"

"Yes, external factors!"

Gu Miao didn't explain anything, but just took Du Hao to the theater to watch "Wolf Warrior 2" on the spot, and after watching Du Hao, he understood.

The patriotic enthusiasm of the population!

Don't underestimate this factor, if it weren't for this blessing, Wolf Warrior 2 might be a great movie, but the box office will definitely not reach the height of the first in mainland film history.

This is also the main reason why Gu Miao chose to release "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in advance to avoid colliding with it.

Be reasonable.

Without the blessing of this aura, no matter how powerful Wolf Warrior 2 is, there is no need to be afraid of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as an animated movie.

But with the blessing of this aura, that is, the gods block and kill the gods and Buddhas, and no one can do it!

Not to mention the Raiders of the Lost Ark, if it is a more powerful "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends" to compete with it, in that kind of atmosphere where the whole people are almost fanatical, I am afraid it may not be able to withstand it.

Obviously, the heroes of this summer vacation have been born!

Other films faced the menacing "Wolf Warrior 2", almost helpless, and were easily crushed into scum, including "Bear Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the fourth week of release.

"Alright, don't look at it!"

When the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 exceeded 1.2 billion, Gu Miao told Du Hao that the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" could be released.

What are you doing here?

Although the safflower also needs green leaves, this safflower is so dazzling that the light covers everything, making people completely ignore the presence of green leaves.

Instead of relying on the theater to witness the glory of others, it is better to get out of the theater early and move to the Wanbao video website to earn some member money.

"There's no need to pay attention to the follow-up."

"August, September and even October, it is estimated that all of them are the reign of this movie, you wait and see, the final box office will definitely shock everyone's jaws."

Gu Miao made a bold judgment.

In his words, the key to the postponement of this movie is almost certain, and under the premise of ironclad postponement, no one can know how high the box office will go.

The original version is 5.6 billion, but in this parallel world, who knows if it will be higher?

……

The movie "Wolf Warrior 2" swept the country, setting off a round of movie-watching frenzy, and the box office also broke records repeatedly.

But this has nothing to do with Gu Miao.

With the end of the premiere of the animation "Guardian of Sheep Village" and the start of the rebroadcast of CCTV Children, his focus is also on the upcoming production of "Go Boy".

Beijing, Chess Academy.

This is not the first time Gu Miao has come to Beijing, as a representative of enterprises in the cultural and entertainment industry, he often comes to Beijing for meetings.

But this is his first time at the Huaguo Chess Academy, and to be precise, this is the first time he has come into contact with a leading figure in the domestic game of Go.

The person in charge of the chess academy was very interested when he learned that Manpo Animation wanted to make a TV animation about "Go".

As soon as Gu Miao visited, he enthusiastically took him to visit various departments of the Chess Academy, and introduced him to the many famous players in the Go world and the current professional players stationed in the Chess Academy.

"Everyone is very young!"

Gu Miao was a little surprised.

Seriously, before coming to the chess academy, he thought that the professional players in the Go world were all old men with white hair.

Who knew that after he came, he found out, how could he be so exaggerated?

Of course, there are old men, but there is no shortage of young people in the chess academy, and one of them, a young man who has won many world championships, is now recognized as the first person in Go.

"Hello!"

"Fortunately, I will be lucky!"

Gu Miao shook hands with the world champion, and seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, he whispered to the person in charge of the chess academy beside him, "What is he...... Don't you welcome me? ”

"Don't get me wrong, Xiao Ke has always been like this."

The vice president of the chess academy hurriedly explained: "Since losing to that artificial intelligence last year, Xiao Ke has become like this, Mr. Gu, don't think about it." ”

That's blackening, huh?

A good world champion, how did he get hit like this by artificial intelligence?

Gu Miao stared at the young man, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking, "Can I invite him to be a consultant?" ”

"This ......"

The vice president hesitated: "Xiao Ke's words, I have to ask his own opinion." ”

At Gu Miao's request, the vice president pulled the young man surnamed Ke to the side to chat, as if asking for his own opinion.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't get a result for a long time, Gu Miao simply said to the secretary: "You go and tell them that Wanbao is willing to provide a dowry of 1 million yuan to the specially invited consultant." ”

He's already understood.

Although there are many competitions and a lot of income in the Go world, the income level is still much worse than that of other competitive sports.

Not to mention traditional sports, even compared to new things like e-sports, the income of top professional players is not at the same level.

In that case, let's throw money at it!

Uncle Gu doesn't have much else, he has a lot of money, and he can earn a million as a special consultant, and he believes that it is difficult for a Go player to refuse.

But it's hard to say......

What if this world champion is arrogant and thinks that he is the first person in the world, and he doesn't like Gu Miao's vulgar practice of smashing people with money?

When Gu Miao was in a nervous mood, sitting in the tea room waiting for the results of the communication, the secretary soon returned.

"Mr. Gu, he agreed."

"So refreshing?"

Gu Miao was a little stunned, he was worried that the world champion's morale was too high, or the money was too small, and the other party was not happy, but he didn't expect the other party to nod directly as soon as the offer came out.

Miscalculated!

promised so quickly, it was enough to see that the money was enough, and if I knew it, I would offer a lower price, so that I could invite a few more world champions.

But the words are all said, and it's useless to regret it now.

Fortunately, it is only one million, which is not a matter for Wanbao at all, Gu Miao was mentally prepared for heavy bleeding before coming, after all, Go is so high, presumably the world champion can't look down on small money.

The matter is settled.

Xiao Ke also had an in-depth exchange with Gu Miao and had a general understanding of the planning and setting of the animation "Go Boy".

The two parties agreed that when the animation began to be produced, he would take the high-speed train to Jiangchuan to meet Gu Miao and provide professional advice on Go to the animation.

Why not go now?

Of course, because there is a key match in the near future, Xiao Ke, as a world champion, cannot be absent, so he can't go.

Speaking of competitions, Gu Miao also seemed to be very interested in Go-related events, so he asked the vice president and Xiao Ke to find out.

After asking, he learned that most of the competitions in the Go world are held in the form of corporate sponsorship.

"Then Wanbao can also do one?"

"Yes! As long as you're willing to pay for the prize money, you can of course host an event! The vice president was extremely supportive.

There are few competitions in the Go circle, and it is rare for a financier to be interested in Go, and the idea of sponsoring an event must be strongly supported by the Chess Academy.

The popularity of the animation "Prince of Tennis" gave birth to the Wanbao Cup National Competition, and the animation of "Go Boy", which is in preparation, will definitely set off a Go boom at that time.

Therefore, Gu Miao plans to sponsor a Go tournament in the name of Wanbao.

However, his idea is different from that of the chess academy.

The Chess Academy wanted him to sponsor the kind of events with a higher level of professionalism and more professionalism, but what Gu Miao wanted was to face teenagers, so as to be in line with the positioning of "Go Teenager".

"Teenagers? Okay......"

Although I don't understand why Gu Miao has to sponsor the youth Go competition, it is a good thing that he is willing to sponsor, and the chess academy has no reason to object.

However, the vice president still reminded Gu Miao that if a youth Go competition is held, it may face the problem of "a serious shortage of players", which must be psychologically prepared.

"It's okay, don't do it now."

"After the animation "Go Boy" is broadcast, I think there will be many children who will spontaneously learn Go, and there will be no shortage of players by then." Gu Miao made up her mind.

He's got it all figured out.

The full name of the competition is called the Wanbao Cup National Youth Go Competition, which is mainly for young people under the age of 16, and is divided into different groups according to age and gender.

As soon as the animation "Go Boy" is broadcast, if nothing else, there will be a wave of learning to play Go all over the country.

There was certainly no shortage of players in previous editions.

As for the future, it depends on how well the event is operated.

If it is as well run as the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament and has made the event popular, it can continue to be held.

If the event doesn't gain popularity, and the influence is getting smaller and smaller, it will be announced that it will be closed after a few sessions, and there will be no big loss anyway.

When he left from the chess academy, Gu Miao was about to visit Director Wang.

Who knew that as soon as he left the gate of the chess academy, he turned his head and met Director Fu of the tennis center, who received the news and specially came to the chess academy to find Gu Miao.

"Mr. Gu, has your company encountered any difficulties?"

After seeing Gu Miao, Director Fu's first sentence directly gave him a straight answer.

Got stuck?

Gu Miao was puzzled, Wanbao was obviously developing very well, why did he encounter difficulties? Where does the difficulty come from?

"Then why is there no third season of The Prince of Tennis?"

Director Fu said what he meant.

He told Gu Miao that the first two seasons of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" received a warm response among primary and secondary school students, causing countless children to start practicing and learning tennis, making tennis blossom everywhere in China.

This is a great good thing of great merit!

But the third season of "The Prince of Tennis" has not been released for a long time, and the popularity of the first two seasons has gradually decreased, so Director Fu began to be anxious.

So he came to Gu Miao to inquire about the third season of the "Prince of Tennis" animation, and said that if Wanbao was in trouble, they could provide some help appropriately.

Gu Miao: "......"

The third season of Netking, the so-called U17 World Cup, has long been arranged within the company, but it has not been announced.

Unexpectedly, it was not the fans who were most anxious, but the tennis center.

"Don't worry, there will be."

Gu Miao smiled and said, "It's just that I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to take care of it." Director Fu, don't worry, there will definitely be a third season in a while. ”

"How can I not be worried?"

"We have always paid attention to the animation of the Prince of Tennis, and we look forward to you arousing more children's love for tennis through animation......

That's true.

Today, "The Prince of Tennis" is no longer an ordinary animation, but a banner that leads countless children to learn and contact tennis.

If one day, Wanbao Animation announces that "The Prince of Tennis" will stop or end, and the most anxious people will definitely not be ordinary fans, but the people at the tennis center.

For this, Gu Miao was also very helpless.

"The Prince of Tennis" can have such an influence, to be honest, he must be happy, but in addition to being happy, he can't help but feel a headache.

After U17 is done, the king of the net is almost at the top.

After that, this series, unless it is a reboot, it is difficult to come up with a new sequel. After all, the story is about the U17 World Cup, who wants to go back and watch the national competition?

Ryoma was promoted to the second and third years of junior high school, led Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School to defend the championship and achieve three consecutive hegemony in the national competition!

Be reasonable......

Everyone has gone to the world stage to shine, and he has been selected for the national team, and then let him come back to play in the national competition, do you think it is realistic?
