"Journey to the West" is Gu Miao's favorite of the four famous novels, and the protagonist Sun Wukong is also the hero he admired the most in his childhood.

So, when CCTV asked Wanbao if he was interested in the project, he agreed without hesitation.

He has high expectations for this animation, and he is also mentally prepared for heavy bleeding, and pulls in in advance with Mr. Xiaoxiong, CCTV and other financial partners to ensure that there will be no shortage of money during the production process.

But there is a cap on what you can invest.

Don't look at Gu Miao's attitude is very resolute and he is very generous in giving money, but if it really drags on to an unbearable investment ceiling and affects the operation of the entire company, he will still give up the project painfully.

After all, he is not a money printing machine.

And it's impossible for him to bet on the entire future of Wanbao Animation.

This is a financial consideration.

In addition, there is time, and for an animated work, the production schedule is always a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Everyone knows that the more time passes, the more flawless the work will be polished.

The two hurdles of capital and construction limit him, making it impossible for him to build a perfect barrel.

Even if it is a pig, give him tens of thousands of years, it can make a masterpiece that shocks the world, which is called water drops and stones, and quantitative changes cause qualitative changes.

So that's not realistic.

Seriously, Gu Miao doesn't understand why the stock price of Wanbao Video has been in stock for so long, and there is still no big rebound?

Ma Kui seemed to understand what Mr. Gu meant, and sighed: "According to what you say, "Journey to the West 3D" can't become a hexagonal warrior?" ”

"Cinematic quality, vivid character modeling, smooth and silky fight portrayals, these can all be used as longboards."

Although this is true, it cannot be admitted so bluntly!

In the face of outsiders, it must be all kinds of invitations to complain, saying that in order to adapt the famous work "Journey to the West" and restore the classics as much as possible, the production team has gone through a lot of hardships, and the lights in the screenwriter's office have been on for a month......

Ma Kui squeezed his eyebrows and said: "After the animation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was broadcast last time, I said the same. ”

"Shut up!"

"That's not restricted!"

Ma Kui, who was awakened by Gu Miao's words, suddenly realized: "I know what to do, as long as my shortcomings are higher than other people's longboards, then it is not called a short board." ”

"The thing I regret the most in my life is to listen to your slander and buy a piece of Wanbao Video tradable shares."

This is the same as the original production of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation, and the plot really doesn't need to be changed and modified too drastically.

"You just have to know what you know."

Don't be surprised.

"Pigman?"

Seeing that Xiao Xiong's expression was a little lost, and it seemed that he couldn't let go of the series "Fruit Treasure Special Attack", Gu Miao hurriedly reassured: "Fruit Treasure Special Attack is not good, but Pig Man can!" ”

"Yes, times have changed."

Xiao Xiong always rolled his eyes wildly and said, "The garbage company, ruin my youth!" This money is used for animation, and it has already multiplied several times. ”

Gu Miao's face did not change and said: "As for being ignored and abandoned, that is, the part of the short board, it depends on how you choose." ”

This kind of is just a fool of pure passers-by who don't understand anything.

"I see."

But the problem at hand is that a pig cannot live for tens of thousands of years, and it is considered a long life to live for 20 years!

The bear is always angry.

“……”

With his unremitting efforts, Wanbao Video, the king of rotten stocks, has successfully trapped a group of hardcore fans of Wanbao.

If this is heard by fans, they may be scolded for something, and they think that Wanbao is deliberately lazy and cutting corners in the plot!

Be reasonable.

Gu Miao desperately bewitched: "This is more popular and famous than "Fruit Treasure Special Attack"!" If it weren't for the lack of people, I wouldn't have looked for an outsourcing team. ”

10 points for the picture, 7 points for the plot, the plot is undoubtedly a short board, but what if the highest score of other animations in the industry is only 5 points?

……

"You guy, shouldn't you want to secretly mix up a board seat under the banner of adding positions and stopping losses?"

In fact, the most difficult thing about adapting "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not the plot, but how to shape the characters.

Xiao Xiong, a senior shareholder and shareholder who was trapped by Wanbao Video, said that he didn't believe in this evil, and the more Wanbao Video fell, the more he had to increase his position.

The people of Strange Animation couldn't design an "ancient wind mecha" that met Gu Miao's mind at all, and the matter of the third season was naturally ruined.

"Look, you're on the horns again!"

Speaking of stock trading......

No matter how close Xiao Xiong is, he always adheres to the original attitude, "Fruit Treasure Special Attack 3" will be produced by Wan Bao himself, and he is not at ease to hand it over to Wonder Animation.

If "Journey to the West 3D" is really produced according to strict high standards, even if it is a so-called short board, it can beat a group of peers, then is this considered a hexagonal warrior?

"3D, of course!"

Ma Kui, who had just comprehended this layer, frowned again, and suddenly thought of a question.

Trade-offs are inevitable.

Gu Miao's question, Ma Kui wanted to answer, "Yes, that's what I thought", but when the words came to his mouth, he found that he couldn't speak.

"OK, the plot remains the same."

Today, the total box office of Wolf Warrior 2 in the mainland has broken through the 5.5 billion mark and is steadily moving towards 6 billion, and no one knows what kind of record this movie will create in the end.

"Unfortunately, no......"

"So in those days, the studio was extremely brilliant and created amazing works that are great to this day."

"But if its shortest plank is longer than the longest one, do you think it holds very little water?"

However, Wolf Warrior 2 is too abstract.

"I see."

In order to ensure the expressiveness of the characters and write the most temperamental plot dialogue, a brand new "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was yellowed by him.

After all, with other animations, it takes a lot of time and effort just to conceive a great story, not to mention the dialogue.

"Sooner or later, it will rise back, believe me, I haven't missed a deal in this investment!"

Ma Kui took note of this proposal and deeply agreed: "I originally thought the same, since I am the porter of the famous book, it would be good to reproduce it against the original work." ”

Due to the decline in the reputation of the second season of "Fruit Treasure Special Attack", Gu Miao set a test for the production team under Mr. Xiaoxiong: to design a new mecha that fits the background of the Three Kingdoms era!

This title is decided, and it is impossible for Wanbao to make a serious magic change to the original work.

Anyway, Gu Miao couldn't understand it.

The projects invested by Xiaoxiong are either non-mainstream or ruined by the three views, all of which are the kind of restricted animations that can only be broadcast in the late night file.

"This series is getting cold."

Everyone trusted him so much that they spent a huge amount of money to buy shares of Wanbao Video, thinking that they would pass it on to their sons and grandchildren in the future and witness the birth of a great company.

Instead of continuing to hit Ma Kui's self-confidence, Gu Miao instead told the story of the American studio: "Taking "Havoc in Heaven" as an example, do you think the industry can still make such pure hand-drawn animation now? ”

This saves a lot of work.

"Can't you?" Little Bear always asked rhetorically.

Special meow, if he hadn't been trapped and couldn't get rid of it, he would have wanted to clear his position and run away, he really thought it was a good thing to speculate on stocks and become shareholders?

Even if the box office falls, it still crushes a number of new September films, vividly interpreting what it means to be a skinny camel bigger than a horse.

"Can't ......"

Even "Wolf Warrior 2", which is the most popular and has become a social phenomenon, has ushered in a sharp decline after entering September.

It can't really be 6 billion, right?

What direction should the animation "Journey to the West 3D" use as a breakthrough, which is the so-called "longboard"?

But......

After all, you've changed it, is that still the "Journey to the West" animation that the audience wants to watch?

"How many times?"

But obviously, this is a difficult thing to do, and five years may not sound like a long time, but for many animation teams, it is an unimaginable deadline.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiong still refuses to give up, and when it comes to this, he still wants to continue to fight for the production rights of the third season.

But in this parallel world, the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 seems to be even more outrageous, and the sensation it caused is even more exaggerated.

"Indeed!"

Please note that Wanbao and CCTV's goal is to bring the famous novel "Journey to the West" to the TV screen, not to renovate the masterpiece.

Just invest a little, that's a terrifying return of hundreds of millions! And the cycle is still short, and the speed of coming in is comparable to stock trading!

"I don't blush when I say this.,It's okay to make a little money from those animations you voted.,Making a lot of money is a fool's dream.。 Gu Miao sneered.

"In the era of planned economy, animation was a handicraft, because the animators at that time were eating a big pot of rice with an iron rice bowl, and they didn't have to worry about the future, as long as they buried themselves in animation, they were done."

In the face of an interview with reporters, he and Koizumi glanced at each other, and told everyone about the difficulty of making "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the form of cross talk.

In fact, this is normal, after all, the original work of "Journey to the West" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is not much room for expansion.

Gu Miao shook her head and explained with a speechless face: "A wooden barrel, some of the planks are very long, and some of the planks are very short, and it seems that it can't hold much water. ”

But even if there is a major benefit, Wanbao Video's stock price is still the same, and there is no sign of rebound, and he is confused.

Expecting this kind of animation to make a lot of money is definitely thinking too much.

"What? I made a 2, do you still want to continue to do 3? ”

"Really?"

If he remembers correctly, the original "Wolf Warrior 2" doesn't seem to be so powerful, and the final box office should be about 5.6 billion.

"Are you sure you want to make a perfect barrel?"

In the same way, we all know that the longer the construction period is delayed, the more polished the work will be. Give the alienated three-body ten years of production time, this recognized defense can also be turned into a god, do you believe it or not?

This is also a point that Gu Miao values very much.

Since you can't get around these two hurdles, you can only find a way to make the long board longer and the short board less short as possible under the constraints of these two hurdles.

Good guy, Gu Miao was scolded so badly!

Every day, people come to his social account to leave a message, saying that Gu Sanshui is really ruthless, not outsiders, only iron fans.

"The water in the stock market is very deep, you can't grasp it, you have to let me come!"

Gu Miao nodded and said, "The current animation attribute is more of an industrial product than the previous handicraft. ”

In this case, unless Gu Miao is crazy, it is impossible to hand over "Fruit Treasure Special Attack 3" to Strange Animation Production, after all, the third season is different from the second season.

As for now? Don't be a great company, the stock price has risen! It's been falling all day long, Gu Sanshui, when will your mother die?

"Not really, right?"

Gu Miao was afraid of taking the blame, so he hurriedly advised: "Famous porter, don't change the plot word for a word, let's talk in private, it's okay, don't tell outsiders." ”

Gu Miao explained: "If the third season is done well, the "Fruit Treasure Special Attack" series will still be saved, and it will not decline rapidly. ”

When did he want to be on the board? What made Gu Sanshui have the illusion that Wanbao Video's board seat is very valuable?

Putting aside various circumstances, Gu Miao personally believes that for a project like "Journey to the West 3D", the plot is a shortcoming that can be sacrificed.

If the design is good, the third season can continue to be handed over to them to produce, and if the design is average or even poor, then Wanbao will take back the production rights and personally produce the third season to save the reputation.

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Miao couldn't help but sigh, it's really a pity that he couldn't get a bite of this kind of big cake.

"That's right! How is the latest season of Pigman? Interested? ”

It doesn't even take ten years, half of it is enough for five years.

The results are clear at a glance.

The film market in September has cooled down a lot compared to July and August.

The title of the animated film is "Journey to the West", not "The Legend of Wukong", "The Return of the Great Sage", and "Black Myth Wukong......

What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are in the current domestic animation industry?

The results of "Roaming the World of Animation" are so explosive, dominating the new September series, it stands to reason that this is good news, and the stock price has to rise no matter what.

Gu Miao coughed, and then said: "And you didn't make much money, and most of it was taken away by our Wanbao." ”

Gu Miao said suspiciously: "It's not that I don't believe you, I just think that if you increase your position like this, you will soon be able to enter the board of directors." ”

Not to mention......

So far, there has not been any restricted-level late-night animation that has achieved far more than "all-age" animation at the commercial level.

With such an important work, handed over to a half-baked team like Wonder Animation, Gu Miao will definitely not feel at ease.

"What do you say about "Fruit Treasure 2"?"

After all...... The main body of Wanbao's adaptation is the original work of "Journey to the West", rather than a derivative creation on the basis of the original work.

It's a pity that Gu Miao didn't give it a chance.

Instead of spending more time and energy on this, investing a lot of time and energy to improve the plot, and engaging in plot variants such as "The Legend of Wukong", "Black Myth", and "Journey to the West", it is better to follow the original book honestly.

Regarding the project planning of "Fruit Treasure Special Attack 3", Wanbao Animation has discussed a result internally.

"It's not impossible......

Mr. Xiong, who was originally full of reluctance to "Fruit Treasure Special Attack", suddenly changed his mind when he heard the name of "Pig Man".

Pig Man is even hotter!

There is a more popular and famous animation IP to choose from, why choose Fruit Treasure Special Attack?

AI animation really exists, although it is based on AI painting, and the technology is not very mature, but the technology is advancing rapidly......
