my animation era

Summer vacation needs a hero.

But it's a pity that "Bears of the Lost Treasure" can't become this hero, at most it can only become a bear.

Because in the second week, after the cumulative box office exceeded the one billion mark, the growth rate of the box office has already begun to decline, and it is obvious that the potential is insufficient.

12 billion, 14 billion...

With the slowdown in box office growth and the continuous decline in attendance, theaters have also lowered the number of screenings for "Bears of the Lost Treasure" starting from the third week.

Combining the above factors, when the film entered the fourth week of screening, the box office could barely break through 15 billion, barely reaching the company's expected goal.

"I'm coming!"

As the time came to the end of July, Gu Miao's mood became extremely excited, because that movie came, and it appeared on stage with a stereo.

At first, no one paid attention.

Even if the movie achieved "over 3 million box office" in just four hours of its release, and broke through [-] million in one day, causing a frenzy of discussions across the Internet, no one would think there was anything wrong.

Only in the eyes of those film practitioners can they understand the gold content of breaking [-] million in four hours and cutting [-] million in one day.

"This... this is too outrageous!"

Du Hao, who originally scoffed at Mr. Gu's statement, saw the amazing premiere performance of "Wolf Warrior 2", and was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you didn't listen to me and let Bing of the Treasure meet with this movie, do you think Bing of the Treasure can still have a box office of 15 billion?"

"Definitely not!"

"Let's not talk about 15 billion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even make [-] million at the box office in the same period as this thing..."

Du Hao's eyes were filled with the joy of surviving after the catastrophe. Even if he had more confidence, seeing his astonishing 3 million box office results in a single day, he was scared at the moment.

Breaking through [-] million in four hours, [-] million in a single day!

What kind of brilliant premiere performance is this?At this rate of growth, how long will it take to break [-] million?Breaking one billion?How much box office will it have by the time it is released?
"It's hard to say, maybe it will be [-] million today, and it will be [-] billion tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Gu Miao shook her head, and said with a hint of uncertainty: "As for the final box office... If there is no external force, it may start at 30 billion! If there is external force, then 50 billion is not impossible."

"external force?"

"Yes, external factors!"

Gu Miao didn't explain anything, but just took Du Hao to the theater to watch "Wolf Warrior 2" and Du Hao understood it.

The patriotism of the people!
Don't underestimate this factor. Without this blessing, Wolf Warrior 2 may be a great movie, but the box office will definitely not reach the height of the first in mainland film history.

This is also the main reason why Gu Miao chose to release "Bears of the Lost Treasure" ahead of schedule to avoid a collision with it.

Make sense.

Without this halo blessing, no matter how powerful Wolf Warrior 2 is, there is no need to be afraid of "Bears of the Lost Treasure" as an animated film.

But with the blessing of this halo, it will be difficult for anyone to block and kill gods and Buddhas!

Not to mention the Treasure Hunting Bear Soldier, if it were to compete with the even crazier "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", I'm afraid it might not be able to withstand the almost fanatical atmosphere of the whole people.

Obviously, the hero of this summer vacation has been born!
Facing the menacing "Wolf Warrior 2", other films were almost powerless to fight back, and they were easily crushed into scum, including "Bears of the Lost Treasure", which was released in the fourth week. .

"Okay, don't look!"

When the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 broke through 12 billion, Gu Miao told Du Hao that the movie "Bears of the Lost Treasure" could be released.

What are you still doing?

Although safflower also needs green leaves to set off, this safflower is so dazzling that the light covers everything, making people completely ignore the existence of green leaves.

Rather than relying on the cinema to witness other people's brilliance, it is better to release it early and move to Wanbao Video website to earn some membership money.

"There is no need to pay attention to the follow-up."

"August, September, and even October are probably the dominating period of this movie. Just wait and see. The final box office will definitely shock everyone's jaws."

Gu Miao made a bold judgment.

In his words, it is almost certain that the film will get the key to postponement. No one knows how high the box office will reach under the premise that the postponement is certain.

The original version is 56 billion, but in this parallel world, who knows if it will be higher?

……

The movie "Wolf Warrior 2" swept across the country, setting off a frenzy of moviegoers, and the box office also repeatedly broke records.

But this has nothing to do with Gu Miao.

With the end of the first broadcast of the animation "Guardian of Yangcun" and the start of the rebroadcast of CCTV Children's, his focus of work has also been put on the upcoming "Go Boy".

Capital City, Chess Academy.

This is not the first time Gu Miao has come to the capital. As a representative of a company in the cultural and entertainment industry, he often comes to the capital for meetings.

But this is the first time he has come to the Hua Guoqi Academy. To be precise, this is the first time he has come into contact with a leading figure in domestic Go.

The person in charge of the chess academy was very interested in learning that Wanbao Animation wanted to make a TV animation about "Go".

As soon as Gu Miao came to visit, he enthusiastically took him to visit various departments of the chess academy, and introduced to him many famous Go players and active Siege professional players stationed in the chess academy.

"Everyone is very young!"

Gu Miao was a little surprised.

To be honest, before coming to the chess academy, he thought that all the professional players in the Go world were old men with white beards and hair.

Who knew that it was only after he came that he realized that it was not as exaggerated as he thought?

Of course there are old men, but there is no shortage of young people in the chess academy. One of the young guys who has won many world championships is now recognized as the No.1 in Go.

"Hello there!"

"Nice to meet you!"

Gu Miao shook hands with the world champion. Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, she whispered to the person in charge of the chess academy next to him, "Is he...doesn't welcome me?"

"Don't get me wrong, Xiao Ke has always been like this."

The vice president of the Chess Academy quickly explained: "Since losing to that artificial intelligence last year, Xiao Ke has become like this, Mr. Gu, don't think too much about it."

Is that blackening?

A good world champion, how could he be hit like this by artificial intelligence?
Gu Miao stared at the young man, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking, "Can I invite him to be a consultant?"

"This……"

The vice president hesitated and said, "For Xiao Ke, I have to ask his opinion."

At Gu Miao's request, the vice president took the young man surnamed Ke aside for a chat, as if asking for his own opinion.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't come to a conclusion after a long chat, Gu Miao simply said to the secretary: "You go and tell them that Wanbao is willing to provide a special consultant with a salary of 100 million yuan."

He already knew it.

Although there are many games in the Go world and a lot of income, compared with other competitive sports, the income level is still much worse.

Not to mention traditional sports, even compared with emerging things like e-sports, the income of top professional players is not at the same level.

If that's the case, then throw money at it!

Uncle Gu doesn't have much else, but the money is really rich. He can earn 100 million as a special consultant. He believes that it is very difficult for a Go player to refuse.

But it's hard to say...

What if this world champion has arrogance, feels that he is the No.1 in the world, and doesn't like Gu Miao's vulgar way of throwing money at others?
When Gu Miao sat in the tea room waiting for the result of the communication with anxiety, the secretary came back soon.

"Mr. Gu, he agreed."

"So refreshing?"

Gu Miao was a little bit taken aback. Fortunately, he put aside the worry that the world champion was too high-spirited, or that the other party was not happy because the money was too little. He didn't expect that the other party immediately nodded as soon as the offer came out.

Miscalculated!
The promise was so straightforward, and it seemed that the money was enough. If I knew it, I would have asked for a lower price, so that I could invite a few more world champions.

But everything has been said, and it is useless to regret it now.

Fortunately, it is only 100 million, which is not a problem for Wanbao. Before coming here, Gu Miao was mentally prepared for a hemorrhage. After all, Go is so high-level, the world champion must not look down on small money.

It's settled.

Xiao Ke also had an in-depth exchange with Gu Miao, and got a general understanding of the planning and setting of the animation "Go Boy".

The two parties agreed that when the animation started to be produced, he would take the high-speed train to Jiangchuan to meet Gu Miao and give the animation professional advice on Go.

Why not go now?
Of course, it is because there is still a key game in the near future. As the world champion, Xiao Ke cannot be absent, so he can't go.

Speaking of competitions, Gu Miao seemed to be very interested in Go-related competitions, so she asked the vice president and Xiao Ke to find out.

After asking, he found out that most of the games in the Go world are held in the form of corporate sponsorship.

"Then Wanbao can also make one?"

"Okay! As long as you are willing to pay a prize, of course you can sponsor an event!" The vice president said with great support.

There are few games in the Go circle. It is rare for a sponsor to be interested in Go, and has the idea of ​​sponsoring a tournament. The Chess Institute must strongly support it.

The popularity of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" gave birth to the Wanbao Cup National Competition, and the animation "Go Boy" under preparation will definitely set off a Go boom.

So Gu Miao planned to sponsor a Go tournament in the name of Wanbao.

But his idea is different from that of Qiyuan.

The Chess Academy wanted him to sponsor a relatively high-level professional tournament, but Gu Miao wanted to face young people, so that he could fit in with the positioning of a "go boy".

"Teenagers? That's okay..."

Although I don't understand why Gu Miao has to sponsor the youth Go competition, but it is a good thing that he is willing to sponsor, and the chess academy has no reason to object.

However, the deputy dean still reminded Gu Miao that if a youth Go competition is held, there may be a "serious shortage of players", and one must be mentally prepared for this.

"It's okay, don't do it now."

"After the animation "Go Boys" is broadcast, I think many children will learn Go spontaneously, and there will be no shortage of players by then." Gu Miao made up her mind.

He thought about it all.

The full name of the competition is Wanbao Cup National Youth Go Competition, which is mainly for young people under the age of 16, and will be divided into different groups according to age and gender.

As long as the animation "Go Boy" is broadcast, there will be a wave of learning and playing Go all over the country, if nothing else.

There must have been no shortage of players in previous sessions.

As for the latter, it depends on the operation of the event.

If it runs as well as the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament, and if the event's popularity has been raised, then it can continue to run.

If the popularity of the event is not raised, and the influence is getting smaller and smaller, it will be canceled after a few sessions. Anyway, there is no big loss.

When leaving the Chess Academy, Gu Miao was about to visit Director Wang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the gate of the Chess Academy, he turned around and ran into Director Fu of the Tennis Center. He had received the news and came to the Chess Academy to find Gu Miao.

"Mr. Gu, has your company encountered any difficulties?"

After seeing Gu Miao, Director Fu's first sentence was to give him a hard time.

Having trouble?
Gu Miao couldn't figure it out, Wanbao was developing very well, why did it encounter difficulties?Where is the difficulty?

"Then why didn't you make a third season of The Prince of Tennis?"

Director Fu revealed his reason for coming.

He told Gu Miao that the first two seasons of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" had received enthusiastic responses from primary and middle school students, causing countless children to start practicing and learning tennis, making tennis flourish everywhere in China.

This is a great thing with infinite merit!

But the third season of "The Prince of Tennis" has not been released for a long time, and the popularity of the first two seasons has gradually decreased, so Director Fu became anxious.

So he came to Gu Miao to inquire about the third season of "The Prince of Tennis" animation, and said that if Wanbao had any difficulties, they could provide some help.

Gu Miao: "..."

The third season of Wang Wang, also known as the so-called U17 World Cup chapter, has been arranged in the company, but it has not been announced.

Unexpectedly, it was not the fans who were most anxious, but the tennis center.

"Don't worry, there will be."

Gu Miao smiled and said, "It's just that I've been busy recently, so I haven't taken care of it. Director Fu, don't worry, there will definitely be a third season in a while."

"How can I not worry?"

"We have been paying attention to the animation Prince of Tennis. We look forward to arousing more children's love for tennis through animation..."

This is true.

Today, "The Prince of Tennis" is no longer an ordinary animation, but a banner that leads countless children to learn tennis.

If one day, Wanbao Animation announces that "The Prince of Tennis" will be suspended or ended, the most anxious people will definitely not be the ordinary fans, but the people in the Tennis Center.

Regarding this point, Gu Miao was also very helpless.

To be honest, he must be happy that "The Prince of Tennis" can have such a big influence, but he can't help but feel a headache.

After u17 is finished, Wang Wang is almost at the top.

After this series, unless it is a reboot, it will be difficult to produce a new sequel.After all, the story is all about the U17 World Cup, who is willing to go back and watch the national competition?
Long Ma was promoted to the second and third year of junior high school, led Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School to defend the title and win the national competition for three times in a row!
make sense...

Do you think it's realistic for Longma to go to the world stage to shine and be selected for the national team, and then let him come back to play in the national competition?
