Martin's Morning, aka Variety Martin.

This is one of the classic funny animations that has the largest brain hole in Gu Miao's impression, and takes into account both fun and storytelling.

When Mr. Qiu told him that Konjac Studio also wanted to open a new work, but he didn't have a good idea, he immediately thought of this work.

I have to say.

In terms of creativity, "Martin's Morning" is indeed a masterpiece! The setting of a new identity every day is very eye-catching and new to this day, and it does not feel outdated.

The plot is also very interesting, and the various problems encountered by Martin after transforming into a new character can always make children laugh.

Strictly speaking, Martin's Morning is a popular science animation!

But in any case, animations that can make children laugh belong to the category of funny animation in a broad sense. So Gu Miao will not have any problem listing it as a funny animation.

"This idea is so cool!"

Mr. Qiu was amazed: "A new identity every day, a new story every episode...... Even if the animation is not done well, this setting alone is enough to attract countless audiences. ”

"Yes."

Gu Miao nodded and said.

Back in the day, when he first saw the anime "Martin's Morning" on TV, he was attracted by its novel setting, and then watched episode after episode, and couldn't stop.

By the way.

When he first watched "Martin's Morning", because of the background of the characters in the play and other reasons, he thought it was a purely imported foreign animation.

Later, he learned that the animation "Martin's Morning" was indeed a foreign animation, mainly from France. But the pedigree of this animation is not so pure, and it is a Sino-French co-production.

Oh yes......

The protagonist "Martin" in the animation, I believe many viewers are deeply impressed by the three silly hairs on the top of his head.

Trivia: It was originally five silly hairs!

Later, at the suggestion of the Chinese director, it was probably influenced by "Sanmao", and when it was broadcast in China, the original five dull hairs were changed to three.

Of course, this is all the original.

It is naturally impossible for the Wanbao version to copy the original, after all, the times are different, the environment is different, and even the producer and producer are different.

If Konjac Studio wants to make the animation "Martin's Morning", maybe Martin's name will not change, but he is unlikely to become a foreign child.

The background of the story is also very likely to be placed in China, especially the city where Martin and his partners live, which is 100% Jiangchuan!

"How? Interested? ”

After roughly talking about the idea of the animation "Martin's Morning", Gu Miao asked with interest: "This idea should be able to meet the needs of your konjac studio, right?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Mr. Qiu said without thinking: "This idea is simply too appetizing to me, and it must be no problem to make a new work for it, but it's just ......"

When he said this, Mr. Qiu suddenly lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and after a long while, he raised his head and expressed his doubts.

"Mr. Gu, you also know the team of Konjac Studio, although there is not much shortage of manpower, we lack a director!"

"If I listen to you to do "Martin's Morning", what will happen to the third season of "Crayon Shin-chan" here?"

"Hmm......"

Gu Miao frowned, and found that this was indeed a tricky problem.

Konjac Studio has no shortage of basic talents, after all, the predecessor is the original team of Konjac Animation, and it is already a relatively mature animation production team.

But except for Mr. Qiu, who can lead the team independently and serve as the so-called animation producer and director, others do not have this leadership at all.

"So be it......"

Gu Miao thought about it seriously, and immediately made arrangements: "You will continue to do the third season of your "Crayon Xiaoxin", and by the way, you will make a second theatrical version." ”

"As for Martin's Morning, a new work, leave it to me! Just after "Go Boy" ended, I didn't think about what to shoot for the new work......"

Let's be honest.

"Martin's Morning" still has a lot of appetite for him, and he is also interested in this animation.

What's more, this anime is not like "Mobile Suit Gundam", which will create a lot of anxiety and pressure for him. On the contrary, the production of this animation will be more relaxed than expected.

So after thinking about it again, Gu Miao felt that she could take over the project.

After all, it was his own suggestion, and there was no better candidate than him.

Of course!

The reason why Gu Miao took over was also based on the premise that "Martin's Morning" was not so complicated.

In the case of "Mobile Suit Gundam", there are too many things to consider during the production process, and the style is more serious and realistic, he will definitely not take it.

"You?"

Mr. Qiu didn't seem to expect that Mr. Gu, who has been running to the gym recently and is not very concerned about the company's affairs, would take the initiative to say such things.

The sun is coming out in the west?

Or did he hear it wrong? Mr. Gu even gave "Mobile Suit Gundam" to his apprentice Xiao Guo, how could he suddenly take over a new project?

"What kind of eyes are you?"

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "I just like the story "Martin's Morning" very much, and I am just interested. ”

That's right!

He did say that in the future, he will maintain the work arrangement of one new work a year, and this year's share has been given to "Go Boy", and there will be no new work projects in the second half of the year.

But he likes the animation "Martin's Morning", is he willing to make an exception for it?

The boss's business, Xiaoqiu, you'd better leave it alone, be careful of what you say wrong, and when you turn around, you will be deducted all the bonuses from the finances, and you will be sent to clean the toilet!

……

Time flies and flies.

Before you know it, 12 episodes of the animation "Superman Returns" have been broadcast, and the second round of reruns of the hit work "Go Boy" has also come to an end.

At the end of the year, Wanbao was a little silent.

It seems that the successive launches of works such as "Go Boy", "Roaming the Animation World", "Superman Returns" and "The Immortal King" have passed the outbreak period of new works, and they are beginning to lie dormant waiting for the next round of outbreaks.

But this is only an illusion......

Friends who know Wanbao Animation and grasp the latest industry information will not think so.

On the contrary, they who know some inside information prefer to regard the now silent Wanbao as the calm before the storm.

Who said that Wanbao didn't have a new work?

Hehe!

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Year of the Dog Movie, Crayon Xiaoxin 3, American War SSR, Roaming the Animation World 2, Fruit Treasure Special Attack 3, Detective Conan 3......

Aren't these monsters?

There are a lot of sequels alone, including the more blockbuster "Cat and Mouse", "Sailor Moon" and "Roaming the Animation World" and other popular IPs.

This lineup casually brings out a sequel, and it is estimated that it can make friends unable to raise their heads.

No kidding!

Wanbao Animation's current coffee position and IP reserves are simply a dimensionality reduction blow in the domestic animation industry. Even if you don't make originality, with so many IPs, you can eat it for decades just by eating the old book.

And that's not even the scariest of all.

The most frightening thing is that in addition to being the first in the industry in the two subdivisions of TV animation and online animation, Wanbao has even launched an impact on the first position in the field of animated films.

Dragon Ball Theatrical Version ......

When this project first came to light, everyone didn't know what to do.

That's Dragon Ball!

Today, Dragon Ball, which has the largest number of fans and fans in the world, has no less IP value than Pokémon, and is even slightly better than Dragon Ball in the anime field.

This level of animation IP is about to launch its first big movie, and everyone is already numb just thinking about it.

Tired, destroy!

If you think about it with your ass, with the popularity of the "Dragon Ball" anime around the world, this theatrical version is sure to be a big success.

If the theatrical version of Dragon Ball is a big success, it means that Wanbao has once again created an animated film series after "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Infested" and "Crayon Shin".

Combined with "Detective Conan", "Superman", "Yu-Gi-Oh", "Sailor Moon" and other large votes, a large number of animation IPs can be released in the theatrical version......

Boy!

Even if there are so many sequels to TV animation, there are so many series of animated movies, Wanbao is going against the sky?

"Trivia, among the ten highest-grossing animated films in the world, Wanbao Animation occupies two places, of which "The Lion King" is not only the world's highest-grossing animated film, but also the only animated film in the world to break $1 billion at the box office......"

After introducing the company's film business, Gu Miao knocked on the table with her fingers, and said with a very serious expression: "Our film business is already very large!" ”

"Therefore, based on the needs of future development and the integration and coordination of resources, I decided to spin off the animation film business and set up a subsidiary to be responsible for the film business."

"Agreed!"

"I'm okay with ......"

Due to Mr. Gu's early approval, Lao Zhang and Huang Kun and other Wanbao Animation executives were not surprised by this resolution and voted in favor of it.

Although this will greatly weaken the production strength of Wanbao Animation, after all, after the film business is spun off separately, Wanbao Animation is not as detached as before.

But think about the good.

It is said that it is a business divestiture, but Wanbao Animation and the newly established "Wanbao Pictures" are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Wanbao Group, and the people are all those people, so the impact is not very large.

Wanbao Pictures!

This is a pure film company based on the film market, deeply engaged in the production and distribution of animated films, and its business also involves live-action films.

The general manager is temporarily served by Du Hao.

No way!

Who made Wanbao Animation this group of people, basically not the material for movies, only Du Hao went to Hollywood for further study before, and he knows more about the film industry, who can be if he is not the general manager?

"In the future, all the film-related businesses of the group, including film production, film distribution, film peripherals, etc., will be handed over to Wanbao Pictures."

Worried that everyone would misunderstand, Gu Miao immediately explained: "Of course, this does not mean that Wanbao Pictures will interfere in the content production of Wanbao Animation. ”

"Taking the Dragon Ball theatrical version as an example, the production is carried out by the Neon Division, but the producers and producers are all from Wanbao Pictures, and when the movie is released, the logo of Wanbao Pictures will also be hung in front of Wanbao Animation."

To put it bluntly, the current Wanbao Pictures is an empty shell with no independent production capabilities.

Therefore, this film production business is inseparable from Wanbao Animation for the time being, and when Wanbao Pictures recruits some people and pulls up the basic framework, there may be opportunities for independent production.

Meanwhile.

If Wanbao Animation wants to shoot the theatrical version in the future, you can continue to shoot it without any restrictions and influences. As long as you put a name of "Wanbao Pictures" in the producer's column, you can do it.

The reason why Gu Miao wanted to divest the film business and establish the subsidiary of Wanbao Pictures was that in addition to the reason of "each performing its own duties", there was a deeper reason.

"The development of the superhero IP universe around Superman has reached the most critical time with the broadcast of the animation "Superman Returns"."

Gu Miao didn't hide it from everyone, and took the initiative to confess: ""Superman" will definitely have a live-action movie in the future, this is undoubtedly a thing. Not only Superman, but also Batman and Wonder Woman will come out in the future. ”

Since there is going to be a live-action movie, it will be very weird and abrupt to continue to be affiliated with Wanbao Animation.

Therefore, Gu Miao set up Wanbao Pictures separately and let Du Haolai serve as the general manager and be responsible for the film business.

No way!

Live-action movies are different from animated films, although Wanbao Animation is very strong, live-action movies are not a field they can play.

Superheroes, Batman, and other superheroes, live-action movies are 100% to do, and Wanbao can't be handed over to other companies to do, so he can only pull a framework and do it himself.

"If that's ......?"

Influenced by the IP development of "Superman", Lao Zhang drew inferences and said: "Will animations like "Detective Conan" and "Prince of Tennis" also be able to produce live-action movies in the future? ”

"Yes, but I don't recommend it." Gu Miao shook her head.

It's already embarrassing to change the animation to a live-action and make it into a TV series, and then change it into a big movie, how embarrassing and suffocating is it?

If it's a superhero like Superman or Batman, it's better, but if it's some other animation, I feel that if it's adapted into a live-action movie, the effect may not be so good.

Of course!

He didn't deny it entirely, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would find an actor who fits the temperament of the protagonist, and it would be okay to make such an attempt.

However, for now, the main goal of Wanbao Pictures' service is the superhero series represented by "Superman".

"Superman is in your hands!"

After the meeting, Gu Miao stopped Du Hao alone, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I promised you before that I would let you direct the Superman live-action movie, but now that the opportunity has come, don't let me down." ”

"Don't worry, you're prepared."

Du Hao said with confidence: "Since you told me that Superman will make live-action movies in the future, and I am the director candidate, I have begun to study Superman." ”

Du Hao is not the Du Hao of the year.

A tragedy like "Starfall" can't happen again, after so many years of growth and learning, he has already evolved into a qualified film director.

If there is a will, it will be done, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu; Hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!

This time, he wants to get back all the things that were lost in "Starfall" through the "Superman" movie......

Du Hao clenched his fists, and suddenly thought of that afternoon seven years ago, Gu Miao, who had just finished watching the premiere of "Starfall", told him:

"The water in the film circle is too deep, you can't grasp it!"

Seven years ago, he really couldn't grasp it, and he was drowned as soon as he entered the industry, so seven years later, can he grasp it?

Martin's Morning is one of my favorite anime, and it felt so new at the time, I wonder if you still remember Martin's changed roles......
