Chapter 1119: Is The Lion King Really Unsurpassable?

The latest season of the "Cat and Mouse" animation has received numerous praises.

But there are also many people who accuse, saying that "Cat and Mouse" has gone bad!

In the past, Tom could see a little bit of the cat's shadow, and his every move was not much different from the cat in reality.

But now Tom doesn't talk about such clichés as walking upright, playing golf, playing the piano, wearing a suit and tie......

Is this still a cat?

The Big Apple's Apple Daily commented: "Funny for the sake of being funny, the animation 'Cat and Mouse' has lost its soul!" ”

Did you really lose your soul?

In the face of accusations, Dave seemed very calm, and he told Gu Miao on the phone that there is an unknown fact that the new version of "Cat and Mouse" has almost twice as many viewers as the old version!

What is Lost Soul?

Let Tom play golf, wear a suit and tie like a human and lose his soul?

That's not the case!

The soul of "Cat and Mouse" has not been lost, and the core is still the interesting things that happened between the cat and the mouse.

It's just that the interesting thing that happened this time has become closer to people's daily life, and it is not just a story told from the perspective of animals.

"There's a very strange place where people can accept a crab opening a burger restaurant under the sea, but not a cat wearing clothes!"

Dave's complaint can be said to be to the point.

Animations like "Cat and Mouse" are originally more imaginative, and it is not surprising that no matter what Tom and Jerry do, no matter what they do.

But a small group of people stood up against it, telling you that you can't do this, there are no such smart cats and mice in the world......

Come on!

You're so good at raising the bar, so why don't you complain about Mr. Krabs, who opened a burger restaurant in Underwater World?

People also wear clothes, why don't you say that a crab shouldn't wear clothes?

"The animation is famous, so naturally there are people who pick thorns and raise bars."

Gu Miao smiled, but she didn't take this matter to heart.

Anyone picks on any animation.

When "Go Boy" was on the air, there were so-called Go masters who jumped out and said that Jiang Liu'er was wrong and should be played like this......

Gu Miao almost burst out laughing.

This Go master shouldn't know that most of the chess games that appear in the animation "Go Boy" are famous games, right?

Of course, this is not the most perverted.

The most perverted thing has to be when "Little Master of China" was broadcast, a group of masters who boasted of their cooking skills pointed out the country on the Internet, and belittled Liu Pleiaus's cooking skills in various ways.

Bengbu lived!

Every time Gu Miao thought of this scene, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

The dishes made by Liu Pleiades can shine, and they will enter a fantasy state after eating, this kind of fantasy cooking has appeared, and a group of people still put aside this analysis of the protagonist's knife skills and cooking skills?

Even if you make sense, so what? The dishes made by the little master should still shine, should they be delicious or delicious!

If you have to apply realistic logic to the animated characters, you either have a sick brain or watch the animation too much.

……

"Cat and Mouse" is new.

The Neon division is not far behind, launching a new season of "Pretty Girl of Light".

Everyone has a bright future, and even the less conspicuous Egawa headquarters has quietly presented the Japanese and English versions of Mobile Suit Gundam.

Don't really say it......

The Gundam is indeed quite miserable, and the surrounding models are much more famous than the anime.

Most of you have seen the RX-78-2 gunpla in shopping malls or offline toy stores.

But many people can't really say which anime this Gundam robot is from, and what model it is.

Even the Gundam spin-off game of the same name is much more well-known than the anime, and there are many players around the world.

That's right!

The FPS game, which Gu Miao jokingly called "Gundam Fall", has really achieved good results and has a group of loyal fans all over the world.

Pity......

The status of the FPS giants is not so easy to shake, although the core of the gameplay of the game Gundam borrows from "Titanfall", but this is not the same thing as Titanfall.

So this thing, at most, is a small fire, if you really want to say that the fire is particularly hot, it is obviously unrealistic.

The pinnacle of Wanbao Games has to be the "Pokémon" series, which can steadily sell tens of millions of copies with each new generation.

Besides.

As far as Gu Miao knows, Xiao Lin seems to have plans to adapt the recently popular "Superman" into a game and make a lot of money for superhero fans.

"Good idea, but ......"

Gu Miao is not optimistic about the idea of adapting superheroes into games, because superhero series characters are more suitable for the screen.

It wasn't without video games based on superhero characters like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man in previous lives, but it's clear that none of these games made much of a splash.

Instead of counting on this, it is better to count on another animation similar to "The Adventures of Luolo" and make a second generation of "Machine War King"!

Wanbao Group's affairs, Lao Zhang arranged it very well, which also made Gu Miao extremely relieved to devote himself to the production of the "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" series.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to September.

The production of the animation "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" is nearing completion, and Gu Miao has also finished all her work and concentrated on being by Coco's side.

You can put the work things aside for a while, but my wife is about to give birth to a child, so I can't ignore this matter, and I have to be by her side to take good care of her.

It was also at this time that Gu Miao had an apprentice grandson!

That's right, apprentice!

His apprentice, Guo Hongwei, a top animation producer who has directed many classic animations, recently accepted an apprentice.

Okay, Gu Miao was promoted from master to ancestor in one fell swoop.

This apprentice grandson is quite young, and he is only a freshman this year. It is said that when Guo Hongwei went to a certain comic exhibition to participate in an event, he accidentally found a good seedling.

Why are they good seedlings?

Because this little guy just went to college, he pulled his classmates in the same dormitory and made an 8-minute ink style martial arts animation short film.

And then I won an award......

That's outrageous! Thinking that when she was at this age, she fell in love every day except for playing games, and Gu Miao was suddenly a little ashamed.

Look at people, this is the spiritual outlook that a new generation of college students should have!

Such a talented young man, of course, could not go through the normal recruitment process, and with Gu Miao's approval, he obtained the qualification of Wanbao intern as a college student.

He is not required to come to the company every day to clock in and go to work, he usually should attend classes and study when he should study, as long as he has weekends or holidays, he can come to Wanbao Animation for internship.

The salary is still paid to him, and the right is to cultivate talents.

Not only that, worried that the kid would run away, Guo Hongwei also deliberately accepted him as an apprentice, set the so-called master-apprentice status in advance, and tied him to Wanbao's chariot.

"Genius boy, it's rare!"

Gu Miao has also seen this child's works, and can only say that it is really powerful, although it is a little immature, but it can see spirituality and talent.

This kind of genius boy is cultivated and is a pillar of Wanbao, and he will not worry about having no successor.

It's just a slight pity......

This kid is a bit of a bull horn, stubbornly stumbling on the so-called ink style animation, and is not very interested in other painting styles.

This is not very beneficial to his future development prospects, and it can even be said that if he does not change this idea, he will only go further and further in the future.

"Slowly guide!"

Guo Hongwei doesn't mind the apprentice's bias, after all, he is still young, and some of them cost trial and error.

When he repeatedly hits a wall and realizes that he is seriously biased, it would be good to guide him to develop in a more comprehensive direction.

"That's right, Master!"

Guo Hongwei said with a smile: "Have you watched the new movie of "Bear Infested"? ”

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Then I strongly recommend you to go and see it, the shooting is really good, it has been released for a month, and the box office is almost one billion."

Oh! So powerful?

When Gu Miao heard this, she immediately became interested and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this theater version seems to be called a summer party?" ”

"That's right! Bear-infested summer party! ”

Guo Hongwei's eyebrows flew and danced: "The shooting is really good, and it feels no worse than the first Raiders of the Lost Ark." ”

Nothing worse than the Raiders of the Lost Ark?

Gu Miao's eyes were full of curiosity.

The latest theatrical version of the "Bear Infested" series, he only knows the title, and he really doesn't know the content.

However, as far as he knows, this movie should be Wanbao's original and has nothing to do with the original big movie.

Because it was released during the summer vacation, it was named "Summer Party".

"What's the story?"

"The story is very simple, the bald head is strong because there is no air conditioner, and the fan is broken, so it is too hot to work, and he plans to go to the beach to escape the heat."

"It just so happened that the summer vacation plan was learned by Ji Ji Maomao, so he called Xiong Da Xiong Er to sneak into the bald pickup truck and drove all the way to the beach......"

Through Guo Hongwei's description and explanation, Gu Miao roughly understood what kind of story "Bear Infested Summer Party" told.

In simple terms.

The animals in the forest, following the bald head Qiang, went to the beach to escape the summer and played, and happened to encounter foreign illegal fishing teams.

So the animals and the bald head joined hands to fight against the criminals in order to save the marine animals, and a series of interesting things happened on the beach.

The process is still very funny and exciting.

And the movie was released during the summer vacation, which just fits the theme, which adds a lot of substitution to the audience.

This is also the main reason why the movie has performed well at the box office after its release.

"It doesn't feel as good as Snow Ridge Bear Wind ......"

Gu Miao muttered to herself, feeling that Guo Hongwei was exaggerating.

The summer party movie, although it sounds interesting, is most likely not as exciting as "Snow Ridge Bear Wind" and "The Return of the Bear Heart".

But then again.

After all, this is an original theatrical version of Wanbao, and you can't ask too much, it's already good to be able to make it like this.

It's better to have originality than not to be original, and it's better to copy the original purely by copying it.

Gu Miao encouraged this kind of behavior.

He wishes that the future theatrical versions will all be original, which can also prove from the side that even without his advice, Wanbao Animation can be independent.

"How's the word of mouth about the summer party?"

Because of accompanying her daughter-in-law at home, Gu Miao didn't pay attention to this movie, let alone know that its word-of-mouth performance was like this.

Listening to Guo Hongwei say that the box office is approaching one billion, there should be no need to worry about the results, the results are fine, and if the reputation is no problem, then it will be considered a great success.

"Word of mouth...... It's okay! ”

Guo Hongwei hesitated: "There must be bad reviews, this is inevitable." But overall, the reputation of this movie is quite passable, with a comprehensive score of 9.4! ”

9.4 points?

Gu Miao was a little surprised.

The Raiders of the Lost Ark Bear only scored 9.1 points, but I didn't expect the summer party to be so high, and it could actually have a score of 9.4.

This is beyond his imagination.

But then again.

Whether the score of 9.4 is high or not, it depends on who you compare it with, if it is compared with the Pleasant Goat Zodiac series of big movies, it is really good and passing.

But what if you compare it with "The Lion King" with a score of 9.8?

"How can it be compared like this!"

Guo Hongwei rolled his eyes and said: "The Lion King is very powerful, but it is precisely because of his strength that it is difficult for us to create similar results." ”

It's too hard to surpass The Lion King.

At least Guo Hongwei can't imagine that Wanbao has any other animated movies that have the potential to surpass the reputation of "The Lion King".

"That's because you're less knowledgeable."

"Although the Lion King is powerful, it is not unsurpassable." Gu Miao disagreed.

Not to mention foreign masterpieces such as "Spirited Away" and "Toy Story", even in China, which is known as an animation desert, there were not no masterpieces like "Havoc in Heaven" in the early years.

These can be regarded as animated movies on the same level as "The Lion King".

The Lion King is indeed very mouthful.

But part of the reason why it's so powerful is that it is indeed inseparable from Hollywood. If you leave the blessing of Hollywood, it is actually just a "prince's revenge".

"I don't believe ......"

Guo Hongwei still thinks that animated movies like "The Lion King" are already ceiling-level existences, worthy of the title of the world's first animated film.

Even if the master said that he could surpass it, he felt that the master was bragging about it.

You say you can surpass?

So let's demonstrate live, how to do it, what works can surpass the amazing influence of "The Lion King"?

"Then I'll prove it to you!"

"Wait! When I finish making a blue cat, and when your teacher finishes giving birth, I'll make an animated movie to let you know that the myth of The Lion King is not unbreakable. ”

Gu Miao was indeed hard-mouthed.

However, his hard-mouthed mouth is not completely unconfident, and his so-called transcendence of "The Lion King" is not necessarily an all-round transcendence.

Transcendence in a certain place, isn't that transcendence?

Besides!

He has been tossing TV animation for so long, and he does have a little itchy hands, and he wants to make an animated movie hot hand.

happened to talk to the apprentice about this topic, then there is no need to hesitate, after the end of "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions", his new work must be an animated movie.

And it is the kind of animated film that has world-class influence and does not lose or even surpass "The Lion King" in certain aspects.

For example, the Mobilization series!

Cars, Finding Nemo, Toy, Food, Superman......

The Mobilization series of animated films is one of the few film series in the history of animation that has far-reaching global influence and coverage.

It can even be said that this series created Pixar Studios and Jobs's animation dream.

Why did Pixar sell for $7.4 billion? Most of them are the IP value of the Mobilization series! (End of chapter)
