Chapter 1095: Principal Gao and Director Ge (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Gu Miao guessed very accurately.
The box office of the movie "Tamako Love Story" is indeed very average, and it can't be said to be particularly bad, but it can't be called very good.
In the first week of its release, the local box office of Neon was about 75.84 million yen, and according to this trend, it is estimated that it will be about 3-500 million yen by the time of the next release.
If you really pay for it, you will be considered a success!
originally didn't have any expectations for the box office of this movie, so after seeing this performance, Gu Miao didn't feel particularly disappointed.
At least the reputation is pretty good......
"Yuzi Love Story" was originally launched as a word-of-mouth work, and the box office was a little worse, as long as the word-of-mouth could be stabilized.
In this regard, the performance of Yuzi's love story can be said to be in line with expectations, and the word-of-mouth performance is exceptionally good, and everyone who has seen it says it is good.
[It's so nice to have a childhood sweetheart, if only I had a childhood friend like Tamako......]
[No kissing or hugging, only looking at each other from afar, just one sentence made me cry, worthy of Wanbao, highly recommended! ] γ
[No one will not be moved by this ignorant and youthful first love, remember! ] No one ......]
γTamako...... Hey! My Tamako ......]
[Very good movie, make my lips spin, love comes from porcelain, love comes from the river of dark dragons!] γ
Regarding the continuous praise of the movie, the ratings of the major ACGN forum websites are extremely high, but the box office is growing slowly, in fact, it is not difficult to understand.
"Tamako Love Story" is adapted from the TV animation "Tamako Market", and "Tamako Market" is a small circle animation after all, and not many people have seen it.
So even if the word-of-mouth is great, most people haven't seen the original TV work, so naturally they won't be interested in the theatrical version.
If the popularity of the original TV work "Tamako Market" could reach the level of "Dragon Ball" or "Superman", with the current word-of-mouth, the box office would have skyrocketed.
But then again.
There's nothing wrong with a masterpiece of enclosure, like this kind of animated movie, it's a good thing not to get out of the circle, because once the influence is out of the circle, who knows what valuable things will be attracted?
The introduction of "Yuzi Love Story" into the domestic release, Gu Miao has also been working hard to promote it.
It's a pity that the neon box office results of the movie are too mediocre, and many domestic theaters and film distributors are not interested at all.
"Then it won't be in theaters."
Gu Miao thought about it and decided to log on to the Wanbao video website to pay for viewing, and was too lazy to go to the cinema to toss.
Anyway, you can't make much money at the box office for half a day, so it's better to go directly to the online version to save trouble.
Kyoani has no objection to this.
For the theatrical version of "Yuzi Love Story", it is not a big problem to not be able to go to overseas theaters, as long as there is a channel for overseas audiences to see the film.
The online version is also OK, but if you just pay to watch it, how many yuan should it be priced?
"3 bucks!"
Gu Miao thought about it and felt that the previous 6 yuan was still too expensive, especially for films like "Yuzi Love Story", many viewers were reluctant to spend money to watch it.
Then you can watch it for three dollars!
This price is quite cheap for the online version of the film that needs to be paid to watch.
It's only three yuan, and it is estimated that no one will pick it up when it is thrown on the ground, and everyone spends three yuan to feel a pure and beautiful youth love story, and there are still quite a few people who are willing to pay.
There is definitely a charge for the fee.
After all, "Yuzi Love Story" has given up being released in Huaguo cinemas, and if the online version is still broadcast for free, wouldn't it be a loss?
Don't forget, although the investment in this movie is not high, it is not as good as the theatrical version of "Dragon Ball", but it also spent a lot of money on production.
How can you casually give people a prostitute?
β¦β¦
It's a new year again!
With the happy blessings of New Year's Day, the Wanbao Cup Go Junior Open Tournament has also come to an end.
The primary school category is not unexpected.
A 10-year-old Dingduan boy from Huaguo successfully won the national championship title, and in the middle school competition, the champion was actually a female chess player from Bingcheng.
This is quite surprising!
You must know that in the world of Go, the number of female chess players is far inferior to that of male chess players, and even fewer female chess players can play results, let alone defeat many male chess players to win the championship.
Even Xiao Ke was shocked and called out to a good guy, this is a rare Go genius girl!
"How's it like Eagle Sauce?"
"Eagle sauce? Pull it down! Eagle sauce doesn't have this terrifying chess power at her age. Xiao Ke said disdainfully.
Got it, Eagle Sauce Plus Edition!
Gu Miao nodded clearly, presented awards to the two champions, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts and achieve better results in the future world championships.
Then he came to Jiangchuan Third Elementary School.
This is the filming location of the animation "Martin's Morning", and it is also the school scene of Martin, Luo Na and Guo Mo in the animation.
The original version of "Martin's Morning" is a Sino-French co-production, so it's hard to say whether the animation has a filming location, and even if it does, it is estimated that it is in France.
But this is the Wanbao version......
Since the producer has changed, and the animation "Martin's Morning" has also become a pure domestic animation, the filming location has naturally become Jiangchuan, and the school has also become Jiangchuan Third Elementary School.
The framing was actually done a long time ago.
Gu Miao came this time, on the one hand, to say a word to the school leaders, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings after the animation was broadcast.
On the other hand, he also came to the school to find a suitable voice actor for the animation "Martin's Morning".
In the animation, in addition to the fixed iron triangle combination of Martin, Guo Mo and Luo Na, there are also several equally interesting supporting characters, such as the head teacher Mr. Dong, the director of teaching, Director Ge, Principal Gao, and so on.
Mr. Dong already has a voice candidate.
But for the roles of Director Ge and Principal Gao, the animation production team has not found professional voice actors, but they have not matched the effect that "teaching director" and "principal" should have.
As a result, Gu Miao had an extremely bold idea.
Since it's hard for a professional voice actor to achieve a flawless effect, why not let the real dean and principal do the voice acting for the anime?
So here he comes.
When he made his intentions known, the principal and the director looked at each other.
Let them go and dub the animation?
No way!
They don't have much experience in dubbing, so it's okay for you to train them and let them dub animation, isn't that embarrassing?
"You don't have to deliberately learn any skills, as long as you keep the way you usually work, you don't even need to memorize the lines, just play as you like."
Gu Miao said with a smile: "You just think that in reality, there really is a student like Martin." β
Do you star in your true colors?
When the principal and the dean of education heard it, they thought it was quite interesting, since they were acting in their true colors, it seemed that they were not impossible?
What's more, what a rare experience it is to participate in animation voice work? The reason why they hesitate is also because they are worried about their lack of ability.
"Okay, we agreed."
After getting the principal and director of teaching of the three elementary schools, the dubbing team of the animation "Martin's Morning" ushered in two heavyweight guests.
Other voice actors, that are all real identities have nothing to do with animated characters, and they rely purely on technology and strength to dub.
Only the two roles of "Principal Gao" and "Director Ge" have the same identities in and out of the play, and they act in pure true colors, and the tone and tone of reprimanding the students are simply amazing.
Gu Miao listened and called the insider.
That's right, that's the right taste!
is worthy of being a genuine principal and a genuine teaching director, and the tone and tone of his speech instantly made the animated characters "live".
Especially Director Ge.
While currying favor with the current principal, he secretly made a small report to his superiors, hoping to bring down the "two-faced man" posture of the principal himself, which is simply worthy of being vivid.
It's not like acting, so I suggest that the principal check this dean after he goes back!
β¦β¦
The production of "Martin's Morning" went quite smoothly and there were basically no major obstacles.
Under Gu Miao's supervision, the animation has completed nearly 30 episodes of feature films, and it is expected that all the content production of the first season can be completed before the Spring Festival holiday.
The speed can be said to be very fast.
However, this is a unit drama, and it is full of a lot of dialogue, and there is no complicated storyboard portrayal of the fight, and the production difficulty is not high.
Of course!
Another factor that contributed to the rapid progress of the production was the monotony of the characters in the scene.
Martin's morning, if there is no special identity or plot, then there are only a few scenes and characters that appear back and forth.
The materials are all shared.
As long as you finish the production of the first few episodes and accumulate a rich enough material library, the production of subsequent episodes is very simple.
It's the same as Cat and Mouse.
The early "Cat and Mouse" animation was quite time-consuming and labor-intensive to produce, and it was not possible to complete an episode in a week, because many of the materials were not readily available.
But the further you go, the faster the animation progresses, because the material library is getting richer and richer, and there are fewer and fewer original materials that need to be original.
Here's an example.
When Tom first started creating, he had to draw various gestures and movements for him, which was time-consuming.
But in the later stage, Tom Cat has basically a ready-made accumulation of any action or demeanor, and the material library basically has a ready-made accumulation, so it's good to use it directly.
That's why many animation companies claim that their stock library is an "important asset."
It's an absolute asset!
With the amount of material accumulated by Wanbao today, it is estimated that sharing it with a small workshop can transform this small workshop into a world-class animation production company.
Thanks to the rich accumulation of Wanbao, and the fact that "Martin's Morning" is indeed not complicated, the animation is quite easy to make.
Gu Miao is already thinking about how to broadcast it.
First of all, Flamingo Cartoon has been harassing him during this time, and he will definitely give them a copy of the premiere, followed by his own Wanbao video, and in order to boost the stock price, he also needs to come up with several high-quality exclusive animations.
There's no choice.
TV platform, Flamingo Cartoon is the most preferred, if there is no other TV station to compete, the premiere right will definitely be given to Flamingo Cartoon.
The online platform is Wanbao Video.
It's also funny to say that Perak, a friendly businessman, actually wants to come to Wanbao to buy the broadcast rights of a few animations to enrich their animation copyright library.
This is the same as in the previous life, Station B went to Penguin Animation to buy online text reform and national animation.
The point is, the penguin also agreed!
Thunderbolt itself has penguin holdings, and Penguin Video is barely a family, so they can buy the national animation produced by Penguin.
But what do they have to do with Wanbao?
Wanbao doesn't have a stake in Thunderbolt, and Gu Miao is not his father, why did he authorize the animation to them?
"Let them get out of the way."
Gu Miao shook his head and said, "Penguin has their shares, and they are half godsons, so they are not afraid of competition." We don't have shares, we are still competitors, and we won't sell them no matter how much money we give. β
Not only does he not sell, but he also wants to use the high-quality exclusive IP in Wanbao's hands to further compress the living space of Thunderbolt and absorb all those two-dimensional users into Wanbao Video.
He also wants to be an uncle!
The second dimension is a piece of fat, doing the video website industry, who is not greedy?
Wanbao Video is already the second largest website in China in terms of user base and VIP members, second only to Penguin Video.
If we can take the opportunity to suppress Perak and absorb all those loyal ACG users, it may not be able to surpass Penguin Video and become the No. 1 online video media platform in China.
In the future, there will be no Uncle Chen, but Uncle Gu!
Thinking of this, Gu Miao suddenly sighed a little, he went from slandering his uncle to understanding his uncle, and now he is about to become an uncle.
What does it mean to have an ass to decide a stand?
Having said that, if he becomes the new two-dimensional uncle, won't a Mongolian top single also appear to greet him cordially, right?
"Prevent ...... first"
Regardless of whether there is such a possibility, Gu Miao still decided first, on the Wanbao video website, focus on all users in the format of "XX order".
If you find such signs, you will be killed as soon as possible, and you will not give him a chance to sneak attack Uncle Gu.
Actually......
With the rise of Wanbao Video, especially the broadcast of more and more high-quality exclusive animations, Thunderbolt is becoming more and more unpopular.
Going out of business is a matter of time.
A certain B of the original time and space,You can also buy some neon new ones.,Although the holy light is always deleted.,But it's better to see it than not to see it.γ
But in this parallel world, Thunderbolt is miserable, Neon New has no other share, Wanbao himself has bought it, Guochuang Animation has no other share, Penguin and Wanbao share half of the country.
Desperate, they actually started self-made animation, and invested in a number of animation studios in one go, intending to make a desperate attempt to complete the Jedi turnaround.
Gu Miao was not optimistic about them.
This kind of desperate approach, it is useless if it succeeds, one or two popular animations can't change the outcome of Thunderbolt's market share being gradually eroded by Wanbao.
If you fail, you will end up even worse.
Perak is not listed at this time, it is all burning investors' money, and the money is burned but there is no result, what can you do except go out of business?
"Actually, the best way for them to break the game now is to merge with either Penguin or Wanbao."
Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Their existing basic plate, we can catch up with the penguins to become the first, and the penguins can completely suppress us if they get it." β
"That's ...... true"
Gu Miao thought for a while, frowned and said, "You send someone to secretly contact them and ask if there is any idea of incorporating it into Wanbao Video, so you can retain a certain right to speak." β
Perak Perak is not expensive right now.
If you spend some money to take it down and make Wanbao Video the largest online video platform in terms of market share in China, it will still be quite profitable.
The title of number one is not just a false name, if the acquisition is completed, he can't imagine how high the stock price will rise at that time.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all! Have you figured out where to go during the holidays?
