my animation era

Chapter 199
In online novels, there is a saying of "three golden chapters".

The meaning of the so-called "three golden chapters" is very simple. The first three chapters must be "eye-catching", and there must not be too many characters on the stage, and the main character must be focused on.

This is how the audience remembers it.

Although there is no such thing as "golden three episodes" in animation works, the reason is the same. A few minutes before the opening, try to avoid too many characters on the scene.

After all, when there are too many people, the scene is chaotic.

The audience has just entered the pit, and may not even remember the "title", but you introduce so many characters to him, do you really regard every audience as a child prodigy with "photographic memory"?

"Quiba" undoubtedly has flaws in its opening treatment.

If Gu Miao was doing it, it might have switched to the scenes of daily life in Wowo Township, Manji, and Man Xiaoman as soon as the opening "narration" ended.

What is the origin of Manji's identity?

Why must it be revealed at the beginning?Wouldn't it be nice to expose bit by bit in the subsequent plot?

Well, this is just a subjective opinion.

As the saying goes, in the eyes of 10,000 people, there are 10,000 Hamlets. The way Gu Miao thinks it is good, does not mean that others think it is good too.

The opening is just a small problem.

The rest of the story just needs to be interesting and attractive, and it doesn't matter what the beginning is.Anyway, what everyone is watching is a 90-minute movie, not a 3-minute trailer.

But are those 90 minutes really fun?
Gu Miao dare not speak nonsense.

From his point of view, so far, his movie-watching experience is not bad, but after watching the 90-minute movie, there is always a feeling of "more to say".

"Isn't the story over?"

"No! The story is told very well, the director-waiting is very good, and I really enjoy watching it."

"But he's too ambitious." Gu Miao pondered for a moment, and finally made a judgment, "Or 90 minutes is too short to fit so much content."

The meaning is still unfinished.

This is not only Gu Miao's after-viewing impression, but also the personal experience of many movie fans who also watched this movie and came here with anticipation.

It was very enjoyable to watch, but I always feel that the 90-minute movie is like... a semi-finished product. The director wanted to stuff more things in, but the resulting effect is still unsatisfactory.

"Could it be that this is a trilogy?"

When walking out of the theater, Gu Miao couldn't help but smile when she heard a fan's discussion next to her.

trilogy?
This is too contemptuous.

People are flying animation, but under the banner of "five parts" to make the movie "Quiba"!How can a mere trilogy satisfy the ambitions of Little Bear and Director Hou?
The plot of One Hundred Thousand Urgency is not complicated.

It is nothing more than the fact that Manji, who was hit by the Yuandian, escaped and was adopted by Master Man of Wowo Township in the Beast Kingdom, determined to become the greatest monster.

In order to obtain the "Yaoxia Wenyao", which symbolizes success and glory, Manji practiced "pulse technique" assiduously, but it disturbed the chickens and dogs in Wowo Township.

The conscription order to eliminate Kuiba spread to Wowo Township. In order to get rid of the two scourges, the village chief tricked Manji and his son into joining the army.

However, in this world where "Wen Yao" is respected, it is very difficult for Master Man and Man Ji to live in a hotel, not to mention joining the army.

In order to gain honor, they decided to join the giant battleship that was about to set off to destroy Quebah-Qujing No. [-].

Then, a huge Kuibamai beast suddenly appeared, devoured Manji, and attacked wantonly without reason.At the critical moment, Manji sealed his veins...

The plot of "Quiba: One Hundred Thousand Urgencies" came to an abrupt end with the disappearance of the Kuiba pulse beast.

To be honest.

Gu Miao said "the meaning is still unfinished" is already very polite, if you have to be serious, this is a semi-finished product.

The story is incomplete and there is too much white space.

Although this left the audience with deep suspense, looking forward to the next battle with Quiba, but is it really worth the ticket price?

"Boiled!"

Not everyone thinks that "Quiba: One Hundred Thousand Urgencies" satisfies all their fantasies about domestic animated films.

Some people think, what the hell is this?
Laozi watched the movie Nine 10 Minutes, and you showed me this?A few more minutes, will you die after telling the story of "Quiba"?
So, they reacted violently.

Cursing a few words is already the result of very restraint. If it wasn't for the bad influence, someone might have seen half of it and left halfway.

But it's not a big problem.

According to the information obtained by Gu Miao, the first batch of viewers gave good comments. Although they didn't like it very much, at least they didn't dislike it.

This made Cubs overjoyed.

He felt that such a screening result was enough to make the theater agents change their minds and increase the screening rate of "Quiba" when it was officially released.

But unfortunately, he was too optimistic.

Although the word-of-mouth reviews of the movie fans are good, the box office performance of the movie is a little bit worse.

35.44 yuan!

This is the box office result achieved by the movie "Quiba: One Hundred Thousand Urgencies" after it was screened on a small scale.

It's really a dog shaking his head when he saw it.

The attendance rate is even worse. Although this is also due to the scale of "point screenings", such a low attendance rate can already explain the problem.

"why?"

Xiao Xiong always wondered: "Aren't the audience mostly positive reviews? I counted the bad reviews, and there seem to be not many!"

"Hello, don't call me a seat!"

"What's more, there is really no one paying attention to Kuiba's movie. How much do you expect to see at the box office?" Gu Miao said speechlessly.

"That shouldn't be!"

Little Xiong always frowned, thinking that Gu Miao's analysis was wrong, and it couldn't be the result of this reason.

He deliberately went to investigate.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. On the one hand, it was because the movie "Quiba" was indeed not well-known, and not many fans were interested.

On the other hand, the Cubs have wasted all their money.

When the "Quiba" movie was announced and released, it focused on people over the age of 14, but when it was screened, it was precisely the 14-20 age group that had the least fans.

"why?"

Cubs are always puzzled, why are the 14-20 year olds the least audience?Shouldn't it be the most?After all, when he announced the release, he focused on taking care of this group of people.

"Don't think about it, they have no money."

Gu Miao said speechlessly: "People aged 14-20, do you think the schoolwork burden is heavy? Do you have time to go to the movies? And if you have enough pocket money, can you spare a movie ticket?"

"That...that's not..."

Bear is always silent.

Gu Miao knew what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him softly: "So now you understand why the theaters don't like this movie, right?"

Either target the market for children under the age of 14 and let these little kids pester their parents to watch movies, or focus on people over 20.

14-20 years old can't go up or down.

In the TV circle and on the Internet, these people are very combative, and it is indeed very good to have their support.

But at the cinema...

The age group of 14-20 is definitely the most embarrassing age group. Focusing on this group of people can only be said to be a waste of time.

　Anti-bar tips: Movie theaters generally have more couples and family fans, and 14-20-year-old teenagers are indeed the least...
