The animation "Go Boy" lasted nearly a month from the premiere to the end.

During this period, Gu Miao did another thing in addition to going to the gym to pretend to be and making protein powder to try to save her greasy body.

The World Youth Go Championship, organized by Wanbao Group and the same name as the animation "Go Boy", will open the preliminaries registration channel on November 11.

The World Series is a joke......

After all, as we all know, the game of Go has always been dominated by China, Japan and South Korea, and the level of Go in other regions, although there are also masters, is really not on the table.

Therefore, this event is called the World Series, but it is actually understood that the Asian Competition is over, and in the end, it is the players from those countries who can break into the finals.

And one more point.

Although it is a world competition, the only thing that Wanbao really attaches importance to and invests more energy and resources in is China.

The reason why the World Championship is held is also to pull more strong players and make the gold content of the competition higher.

"Will there be a situation where we have worked hard to hold the competition, and all the prize trophies are taken away by foreign players, and domestic players have no money?"

Lao Zhang was a little worried.

Invite foreign chess players to participate, even if they are all young chess players, but who knows what genius teenagers are hidden inside?

If there is really a peerless figure who wears it for these young people in China and wins all the prize money and trophies, won't Wanbao and the Chess Academy become clowns?

"It's possible, but there's no need to worry too much."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "If there is really such a talented teenager, domestic players can also pay attention to opponents of this level in advance, don't you think this is a good thing?" ”

It's just a matter of what kind of ability to do it.

If you want to win, you can win a talented boy abroad, if you really can't do it, then this bonus will be given, and Gu Miao will not be annoyed by this.

As the saying goes, shame and courage.

Only by experiencing severe beatings in advance and seeing the vastness of the world can there be hope for the birth of a genius chess player like Xiao Ke.

The next time there is no invincible opponent in the country, as a result, the foreign war will be shattered as soon as it is touched, and let such a civil war phantom god take all the bonuses and honors, Gu Miao will only feel more disgusting.

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

Lao Zhang nodded, immediately thought of something, and said with a smile: "But then again, our population base is here after all, and it seems that it is really worthy of other countries in terms of low-level chess players and young chess players." ”

"That's for sure!"

Gu Miao smiled slightly.

The top level of the Go world, that is, those commonly known as "professional nine-dan" chess players, let's not talk about it, but in terms of the quality and breadth of middle and lower level chess players, domestic chess players are worthy of any country.

No way!

The population base is too strong.

Even if there is only one genius emerging out of 100 million people, there are more than a dozen geniuses, and from the perspective of mathematical probability, it is difficult for other countries to catch up.

Ah San doesn't play Go again......

Therefore, Gu Miao has a relatively optimistic attitude towards the "Go Boy" Cup held by Wanbao.

The advantage is obvious, if this can't be compared, and it is still killed by other chess players in all directions, then don't do it at all, just surrender in the second session.

"By the way, we have a secret weapon!" Gu Miao squeezed her eyebrows and said.

Remembering that when he communicated with Xiao Ke about the youth Go circle before, Xiao Ke inadvertently mentioned a 10-year-old professional chess player, and he was immediately full of confidence in this competition.

The 10-year-old set stage is successful!

At this age, what is Eagle Sauce doing? People succeeded in setting a section at the age of ten, don't you feel ashamed of a certain eight kings?

It can only be said that with such a talented teenager here, there is really no need to worry too much about this competition, unless there is a more rebellious teenager, otherwise winning the championship is almost inevitable.

After all...... The gap between professional and non-professional chess players cannot be smoothed out in a few words.

What is the difference between sending a 10-year-old professional chess player to compete in the "primary school group" competition and LOL professional players going to the man-machine game to fry fish?

No one really thinks that those elementary school students can play against opponents of this level, right? A professional chess player will overturn in the primary school competition, right?

How naïve!

……

Gu Miao entrusted the matter of the Go Junior Cup competition to a company specializing in the operation of the event, and they were responsible for selecting the players and arranging the venue.

As for himself, he hid in the company's conference room to discuss the preparations for the "Mobile Suit Gundam" project with Guo Hongwei and others.

That's right!

Xiao Guo has already stated that he is willing to share his master's worries and undertake the new animation of "Mobile Suit Gundam".

But he also said that his understanding of the "realistic weapon style" robot animation may not be so deep, so he still needs the guidance and help of the master, and he can't completely leave it alone.

"Don't worry, I will be stationed in the production team with a position as a producer, and I will definitely help you with advice when the time comes."

"Are you really OK?"

Gu Miao frowned and said, "Your wife just gave birth to a child, so there won't be a shortage of people to take care of her at home, right?" ”

Guo Hongwei was married to his son before, and his wife gave birth to a cutie of six pounds and three taels, and now is the moment when the family is short of people. Gu Miao was skeptical about whether he could spare enough time.

"It's okay, there's a live-in babysitter!"

Guo Hongwei has worked in Wanbao for so many years, and his salary and bonuses are all added up, and he is half a rich man in Jiangchuan, and hiring a nanny is really nothing.

And according to him, his mother-in-law also came over and took care of the children for the younger couple, which greatly shared the pressure.

"Alright then!"

Seeing that he did have a reasonable arrangement, Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then the director is sure that it is you, do you have any special opinions about the Gundam project?" ”

"If I don't understand it wrong, master, what you value is not the value of the work itself, but the peripheral derivatives, especially the model?"

"Yes!"

Gu Miao admitted calmly: "I won't hide it from you, before the project was finalized for this animation, I had already given an order to Wanbao Toys to open up a production line specializing in the production of Gundam-related models. ”

Guo Hongwei: "......"

When he heard this, his fingers couldn't help but tremble a little, he really didn't expect the master to attach so much importance to Gundam.

The animation is not sure whether the project is established, and the toy company has already set aside a special production line in advance, a production line! Do you understand what this means?

This is still an arrangement that the animation has not yet been established, and when the animation is broadcast, how can a production line be enough according to Mr. Gu's posture? Isn't it possible to build a new Gundam factory?

"It's possible, and it's not unlikely."

Gu Miao did not deny Xiao Guo's speculation, nodded and said, "The plan to open a Gundam factory is actually already there, and Lao He and I are just hesitating about the choice of factory site." ”

Guo Hongwei had nothing to say.

It's all planned to build a Gundam factory, what else can he say?

If memory serves, this should be the largest peripheral derivatives plan in Wanbao's history.

As for it?

He really wanted to ask, is it really necessary to pay so much attention to Mobile Suit Gundam? It's not that this project has no future, it's just that the importance is too advanced!

Who dares to guarantee that this realistic weapon-style robot setting and body design will really sell well or even explode?

"You don't understand."

"These things have nothing to do with the animation you're going to do, and you don't have to worry about it."

Gu Miao was worried that the apprentice would think too much, so he took the initiative to relieve him of the pressure and said: "What you need to do is just do a good job of animation, as for things outside of animation, just leave it to me." ”

"I will......"

Picking up the plan handed over by the master, Guo Hongwei glanced at it and said, "I may need a while to study this plan." ”

"It's okay, there's plenty of time."

"You don't have to reply to me in a hurry, it's okay to study for a few more days, anyway, I will stay in the company during this time, and come to me at any time if you have any questions." Gu Miao replied.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Guo Hongwei, who was about to get up and leave, seemed to think of something halfway through, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, master, have you paid attention to the recent situation of the konjac studio?" ”

"Konjac Studio? Xiao Qiu? ”

Gu Miao wondered, "What's wrong with them?" Isn't it the third season of Crayon Shin-chan? ”

The last time I heard the news of Konjac Studio, I saw the relevant information about the broadcast of the second season of the animation "Crayon Xiaoxin" in the work report.

Calculate the time, the konjac studio at this time, under the strong leadership of Xiao Qiu, should be full of energy to continue to toss the third season of the so-called "Crayon Xiaoxin"!

"I know they're doing the third season of Crayon Xiaoxin, I mean the third season doesn't need so many people, can you send a few people over to help me?"

Guo Hongwei said with anticipation: "With just this little bit of people in Wolfsburg Studio, I really don't have the confidence to do Mobile Suit Gundam well!" ”

"It's not going to work......"

Gu Miao thought of the "funny" gene of the konjac studio, and immediately shook his head and said, "The style of the konjac studio is difficult to integrate into the Gundam team. ”

Who is not good to look for, Mr. Qiu?

Who doesn't know that Mr. Qiu is Wanbao's conspicuous bag? The most humorous and funny comedian director?

Like Konjac Studios, his goal is to make funny animations that make the world happy.

With this kind of production style, integrating into Gundam is simply a disaster, and Gu Miao doesn't want to see this scene.

But Guo Hongwei is right.

After the development of the first two seasons and the launch of the theatrical version, "Crayon Shin-chan" is no longer as difficult to produce as it was at the beginning.

So the manpower of the konjac studio is now in an absolute state of "overflow".

If they can, they should be allowed to launch a new funny animation without affecting the third season of "Crayon Shin-chan".

……

"New funny anime?"

When Mr. Qiu saw Mr. Gu in the office and made him a cup of instant coffee, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "But we still have the third season of "Crayon Xiaoxin", ......

"Number one, I don't like instants!"

After Gu Miao complained, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Second, does the third season of Crayon Xiaoxin really need so many people?" Don't lie to me, I'm not a layman! ”

Generally speaking, the sequel to animation, especially the sequel to the unit drama animation like "Crayon Xiaoxin", is not so stressful to produce under the premise that the general route, character background and style have been anchored.

Because everything that's left is a "known" element, except for the plot.

Let's not talk about the character design, plot, and background, and even the lines can be reused and evolved into a kind of "mantra".

No one thinks that this kind of sequel animation, where all the elements are known, will be more difficult to do than when the original was first started, right?

"Next time, I'll give you an authentic American style."

After answering the question of why coffee is instant, Mr. Qiu immediately said: "There are indeed enough manpower, and it is okay to spare some time and energy to develop new works, but we ...... I don't have a clue! ”

Animation is not cooking.

It's not enough to have ingredients and tools, you also have to have specific ideas and ideas to make this dish, and without a recipe in your head, it will only be a dark dish.

Funny animation is the established development route of Konjac Studio, and it is also their future creative direction.

But this field is very creative.

If you don't have enough funny ideas to make an empty work, can it still be considered a funny animation?

And the definition of funny animation is not just funny, generally speaking, classic funny cartoons are funny in addition to telling a story, rather than making up a story specifically for the sake of being funny.

Figure out the order.

Normally, a screenwriter comes up with a great story, and others contribute whimsy to perfect the story and add laughter to it, and a funny animation is born.

Instead of coming up with a bunch of jokes first, and then piling them up haphazardly, making a dungpit animation that is useless except telling jokes.

"You're right, you really can't make a good funny animation without creativity."

Gu Miao nodded first, and then added, "But what if I say, I can provide you with this idea?" ”

"Oh?"

Mr. Qiu's eyes lit up and said, "Really? Mr. Gu, don't joke with me, the idea we need is a great idea worth expanding! ”

"You don't believe it? Then I'll briefly introduce my idea, and you can see if the character meets the standard! ”

Gu Miao coughed, drank all the coffee in the cup, and then said: "It is said that there is such a magical child who will transform into all kinds of strange people every morning when he wakes up. ”

"For example, one day the child wakes up and finds himself a king, a vampire, an agent, a primitive, an alien, ......"

"Cool!"

Hearing this, Mr. Qiu was extremely excited: "Do you start all kinds of amazing adventures around the setting of switching different identities every day?" ”

A great idea indeed!

Just listening to Mr. Gu's story, Mr. Qiu was already too high.

After all, this idea is really good, and after making it into an animation, you don't even have to do anything, as long as the audience sees this setting, they can like the animation at a glance.

A new identity every day!

Speaking of this kind of setting, even he, an adult, is looking forward to it when he listens to it, is there really a child who doesn't like it?
