Egawa, Strawberry Kindergarten.

It wasn't the first time Gu Miao had come here, but every time she came, she was in a hurry, and she hadn't carefully observed the situation in this kindergarten.

It coincided with the parent-child activity, and the kindergarten invited the parents of the children to visit the kindergarten and play parent-child games, so he had to find time to come here.

It can only be said that he is too busy.

I have done similar parent-child activities a few times before, but every time I missed it because I was too busy with work, I basically went to participate in it.

With Coco pregnant, this kind of parent-child activity could not be participated, and the task naturally fell to Gu Miao.

"Yo? What a coincidence! ”

Gu Miao didn't expect that when she came to the kindergarten to participate in her son's parent-child activities, she could actually meet an old acquaintance, the former director of Flamingo Cartoon TV, Lao Wang, who just retired this year.

After Lao Wang was transferred to the capital as the director, because of his age, he was not promoted in the end, and he officially went through the retirement procedure in March this year and returned to Jiangchuan for retirement.

Coincidentally, his granddaughter also attends Strawberry Kindergarten and is also a classmate of Komori.

It was the first time Gu Miao learned the news, and couldn't help but sigh: "You still have a granddaughter, why haven't I heard you mention it before?" ”

"Don't mention it......"

It seems that something has changed, Lao Wang is not very happy to say these things, and said vaguely: "The young man is not sensible, he will divorce when he says divorce, and there is no one to take care of the children." ”

"I thought I would have nothing to do after I retired, so I would just take my children over and bring them over."

Situations like this with grandparents and grandparents with children are still quite common today.

Taking the parent-child activity held by Strawberry Kindergarten as an example, at least seven out of ten parents who came to participate in the activity were elderly.

On the contrary, it is Gu Miao's parents of the younger generation who are relatively rare.

"How are you after retirement?"

After all, they are old friends, Gu Miao is very concerned about Lao Wang's retirement life, and takes the initiative to ask him how he is doing recently and if there is anything he needs help with.

Lao Wang told Gu Miao that he was doing quite well after retiring.

Because his position before retirement is okay, his retirement salary is higher than ordinary people imagine, and with this generous retirement salary, there will be no problem whether he is traveling or playing cards for entertainment.

It's just that the children are not very competitive.

Lao Wang has a daughter and a son, and after graduation, the eldest son went to Pengcheng to toss electronic products and opened a small factory.

A few years ago, when the business was okay, it was really okay, but in the past two years, because the digital circle is too volatile, the factory business opened by his son has become more and more difficult.

His daughter didn't let him worry about it.

Originally, the son-in-law was a very honest person, but he was forced by her to file for divorce in a hurry, and after leaving, he washed his face with tears all day long, but he missed his husband who was obedient before.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read."

Gu Miao persuaded Lao Wang to look away, his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, he is at this age, don't worry about the affairs of his children, just live his own life.

Lao Wang is indeed not young.

At this age, the most important thing is to be in good health and have a peaceful mind. The more things you worry about, the faster you end up getting old.

"It's easy to say, but how can you be a parent without worrying about it?"

Lao Wang shook his head, and then seemed to think of something, and couldn't help frowning and said, "That's right! Gu Sen is your son, right? ”

"Yes! What's wrong? ”

"You're too embarrassed to ask what's wrong!"

Lao Wang was angry: "It's that stinky boy in your family, playing tricks on my granddaughter in kindergarten all day long, right?" ”

Yes? And this kind of thing?

Gu Miao was shocked.

He knew that Xiao Mori was very naughty, after all, he often received calls from kindergarten teachers, and knew that this guy was not honest in kindergarten, just like a demon king of the world.

But he really didn't expect that he would bully his classmates at such a young age!

It's such a bastard!

As soon as she heard this, Gu Miao hurriedly called her son, who was playing on the slide, and asked him if he had such a thing.

"I didn't mean to ......"

Xiao Sen said aggrievedly: "I just want to make friends with her, so I often talk to her, and I don't bully people!" ”

Who taught you this?

Make friends and make friends, why do you still scare people into crying for little girls? Is this how you make friends?

In front of Lao Wang, Gu Miao felt a little embarrassed, Xiao Sensen, a stinky boy, was properly cleaned up.

Beat him up when you go back!

After Lao Wang called his granddaughter over, Gu Miao gently patted his son's head and asked him to apologize to the little girl.

"Right...... I'm sorry! ”

Although Xiao Morisen is a bit of a demon king of the mixed world, his father is the plus version of the demon king of the mixed world, and under the suppression of the big demon king, the little demon king can only bow his head and admit his mistake.

"I'll beat him when I go back, don't worry Lao Wang, this kid is not bad by nature, it's just a little naughty......"

"Okay, why are you beating a child?"

Lao Wang waved his hand and said, "I'll just say it casually, are you still serious?" My granddaughter is fine, but she is a little weak and shy, and she is fine. ”

Weak and shy?

Looking at the little girl who was hiding behind Lao Wang, tugging at his sleeve and not letting go, Gu Miao agreed with this evaluation.

This little girl is probably because of her family, so she seems very scared and shy, and it is no wonder that she will be scared to cry by Xiao Sensen, after all, her son's "social" is not something that ordinary people can handle.

It's embarrassing to say.

In front of him, Xiao Morisen only trembled and pretended to be pitiful.

As a result, as soon as he went out, he was a proper social cow expert, and he didn't know who this stinky boy learned from, and he could make two sentences with everyone.

It can't be Ma Kui, right?

Gu Miao, who threw the pot to Ma Kui again, found that Lao Wang's granddaughter was a little out of place in the kindergarten, so he told Xiao Sensen that he must take more care of this classmate.

He and Lao Wang are old friends.

Lao Wang's granddaughter couldn't find a playmate in school because of her personality, so Xiao Sensen naturally had to shoulder the heavy responsibility and use her Sheniu talent to change this little girl.

"Don't say it, it's a good idea!"

Lao Wang is happy to see this.

He also discovered that Xiao Sen Sen is indeed a social cow, and let his granddaughter communicate more with this kind of social cow children, maybe she can become more cheerful and talkative.

Of course!

They don't ask too much for kids at this age.

It's a good thing to be able to make friends, and it doesn't matter if you can't, it won't affect the friendship of your parents or parents.

Parent-child activities are boring.

At least in Gu Miao's eyes, it was boring, it was nothing more than parents taking their children to carry out various small games to cultivate feelings according to the instructions and arrangements of the teacher.

What's the use of that?

Does his relationship with Komori still need to be cultivated? As soon as he saw his son, he got angry, and his itchy hands couldn't help but want to beat him, this kind of feeling doesn't need to be cultivated, right?

Continuing to cultivate, he was afraid that Xiao Mori Sen would not be able to bear the fatherly love as thick as a mountain.

"Got time? Let's talk? ”

After the parent-child activities in the kindergarten, Gu Miao took the initiative to invite Lao Wang and his granddaughter to his house for dinner, and talked about Lao Wang by the way.

Before Lao Wang retired, he was a full-time leader in charge of the domestic animation industry.

Although he has retired, the connections and understanding are still there.

The most important thing is that he knows the domestic review standards for animation works and can clearly give review opinions.

This is very important for Wanbao Animation!

Therefore, Gu Miao wanted to hire him as a special guest reviewer of Wanbao Animation. You don't have to do anything else, you just need to put forward some targeted changes before the new work comes out.

"Isn't that okay?"

Lao Wang is enjoying his retirement now and doesn't want to continue to worry too much.

But Gu Miao later said that he would open multiple animation IP licenses to Lao Wang's son's electronics factory, and after producing so-called co-branded products, Lao Wang succumbed.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren?

Fart!

Even if you are old, who would refuse to help your children and grandchildren?

Besides, this matter is not difficult, and it does not violate the so-called disciplinary rules.

He is just as a special consultant to help Wanbao Animation's new works and put forward revision and review opinions.

Gu Miao also said.

In general works, he will not bother Lao Wang, but there are some animations with special nature or special themes, which may need to be checked by Lao Wang, a professional.

For example, "Hell Girl 2"!

Lao Wang's opinions may not all be right, but after all, he is a retired old man in the system, and the evaluation criteria in this regard are basically consistent with the current standards.

That is to say, the animation that he thinks can pass the review, the animation that he thinks can't pass the review, then probably can't pass.

After hiring Lao Wang as a special review consultant, Gu Miao also showed him the project of "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" and asked if this kind of popular science animation could win a certain amount of subsidy support.

"Yes."

Lao Wang made a judgment and said: "This kind of animation of popular science knowledge, the official has always had a subsidy support policy, you just need to apply." ”

"But you Wanbao shouldn't lack this subsidy, right?"

Smaller animation companies, even if they do animation to cheat subsidies, why do big factories of the level of Wanbao still stare at that subsidy?

"Mosquito legs are also meat."

Gu Miao Lele said: "Besides, there are a lot of episodes in the "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" series. Even if the subsidy is a little less, it doesn't add up to a low amount. ”

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!

The current domestic animation industry, thanks to the leading effect of Wanbao, most companies do not attach much importance to subsidy support.

But after all, there are a lot of episodes in "Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions", and if there is a subsidy, it would be pretty good......

By the way.

As the beginning of the glory of Wanbao Animation, the origin of everything, the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series, which was originally subsidized, is still subsidized.

No way!

Who made this series continue to do it? If you don't do it one day, maybe this subsidy will stop being distributed!

……

In the blink of an eye, Lao Wang retired.

Thinking about the scene when they first cooperated, Gu Miao still remembers very clearly, when Lao Wang's hair has not turned white.

But now it's half white.

Not only is Lao Wang's hair gray, Master Cao, who joined Wanbao in his early years and just wants to witness domestic animation to the world, has gray hair.

"It's been almost ten years!"

Lao Zhang was a little curious, so he asked: "Next year, the 10th anniversary of Wanbao Animation, should we hold an event to celebrate?" ”

"Next year, next year."

Gu Miao shook her head, and then said, "And next year, "Journey to the West 3D" should almost be done." When the time comes, I'll use this anime as a 10th anniversary commemoration. ”

It's only halfway through this year.

Thinking about next year now, it's a bit too anxious.

And to be honest, Gu Miao doesn't have many thoughts about the 10th anniversary of Wanbao Animation.

Although ten years have passed in a flash, it feels like a long time has passed, but in Gu Miao's opinion, there has not been much change in the past few years.

After all, he's still the same.

Except for the age of Ben Si, and the wolfberry in the thermos cup, everything else is the same, and he doesn't feel that there is any difference between it now and a few years ago.

If I have to say it, my mentality has changed.

A few years ago, he was always worried about whether the new work would hit the streets, whether the ratings would be cold, worried about this, worried about that, and always felt that Wanbao would not live for the second year.

But now he's not worried.

As far as Wanbao's existing foundation, as well as Huang Kun, Hou Bin, Guo Hongwei and other producers, the problem of survival has been solved.

The next thing to think about is to make some favorite animations more than to make money for the sake of making money.

He has passed the stage of making money purely for the sake of making money, and now he is still insisting on releasing new works, more because of love.

For example, "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions".

This series makes money to make money, but it is not as profitable as the Dragoon Regiment, and Gu Miao just likes it, so he made this series.

He's a lot like Dave now.

Dave of the North American branch has won too many grades and honors, and now he looks down on all fame and fortune, and does animation all out of love and interest.

The new season of "Cat and Mouse" TV animation perfectly embodies this.

"New Cat and Mouse" started airing shortly after the end of the first season of Superman Animation, and the main focus is on a schedule renewal.

As the orthodox sequel to the world-renowned IP "Cat and Mouse", this season's story of Tom and Jerry is simply whimsical and brain-opening.

You can stuff anything into it.

The point is that the audience who sees these elements does not find it problematic at all, but finds it interesting.

The original Tom and Jerry were more like animals than people.

But in the new season of "Cat and Mouse", Dave gives Tom and Jerry ideas and gestures.

Tom plays the piano, drives a car, and even skates and skis, all like a real person.

The same goes for Jerry.

Audiences who have an impression still remember that Jerry was the image of a "gluttonous" mouse at the beginning, and most of the stories revolve around "stealing food".

But now Jerry has gotten rid of his identity as a rat and has become like a human.

The fight or chase between him and Tom is no longer due to stealing food or making trouble, but a conflict similar to "dramatization......

In the past, Jerry was the culprit of the naughty riots, he didn't steal food or make trouble, Tom didn't go to him for trouble, and he didn't cause a series of subsequent events.

But now, even if Jerry doesn't do his and sleeps in the hole, Tom will come to trouble him with nothing to do, and a series of interesting confrontations will be born.
