Chapter 296 Liu Maoxing's Private Recipe? (seeking subscription)
Ma Kui's words are not without reason.

Is the gourmet show unpopular?The answer is yes!No matter which country you are in, as long as it is food animation, it can be said to be unpopular.

Neon?

It is undeniable that Neon has indeed produced a lot, and there are many excellent animations featuring "food and cooking".

But compared to popular themes such as "Another World", "Campus Love" and "Fantasy Adventure", isn't the gourmet fan still unpopular?

of course!

In essence, "The Little Master of China" is actually not a particularly pure "gourmet fan".Putting aside the point of "glowing cuisine", in fact, the core is still the Japanese manga classic "Hot Blood".

It's just that it's covered with a layer of "cooking and gourmet food".

Still the problem...

Regardless of whether this animation is essentially a "hot blood fan" or a "gourmet fan", the upper limit of the subject matter is here, will anyone really be interested and will it produce results?
Marquette was skeptical.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Mr. Gu's vision, but that he feels that he is not good at "Gourmet Fan".Even if you reach the top level, in fact, the results will be the same.

Can it still achieve the level of "breaking the circle" of "Sailor Moon"?
"Why not?"

Gu Miao asked back: "I admit that the gourmet fan is considered unpopular, but I don't think it's right for you to say that the upper limit of this subject is low."

Is the upper limit of gourmet themes low?
Where did this nonsense come from?The food theme is indeed unpopular, but the upper limit has always been high, okay?

Take documentaries as an example.

A piece of "China on the Bite of the Tongue" became popular all over the country, and successfully achieved the "breaking circle" effect, which proved that the upper limit of food documentaries can also be very high.

Take the web as an example.

A "Gourmet Supplier" was also popular all over the Internet. Although it did not "break the circle", it also set off a frenzy of "food themes" to follow suit that year.

Take variety shows as an example.

Isn't the ratings of "Chinese Restaurant" and "Longing for Life" such a relaxed and everyday food variety show quite high?

Back to the anime field...

Food-themed animations and comics are unpopular and rare, but the upper limit is not low!
Such as "The Spirit of the Halberd", "The Little Master of China", "The Prisoner of Gourmet" and "Little Fugui, the Chef", etc., aren't they enough to prove the upper limit?
"Don't be embarrassing!"

"I know what you want to say, the gourmet theme is unpopular, and few people see it..."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "But have you ever considered the possibility that there are actually a lot of foodies in this world?"

"People don't watch much, because the previous gourmet shows couldn't impress them. But if you can impress these foodies, do you think it will be difficult to achieve results?"

Uh!
Ma Kui was stunned by the words.

It seems to be the reason, everyone is a foodie, the reason why they are not interested in the gourmet show is because the filming is too bad to whet the appetite.

If the photos are really good-looking and the food is portrayed mouth-wateringly, it is really easy to get results!
"but……"

Seeing that Ma Kui had been convinced by herself, Gu Miao smiled wryly and said, "You said just now that it is difficult to make derivative products for Gourmet Fan. This is an indisputable fact."

Fatal flaw!
Gourmet Fan is good at everything, except that it is difficult to make peripheral derivatives.

Unless there is a beautiful and cute heroine who speaks softly and cooks deliciously, who can charm thousands of old and lewd ruffians, I am afraid that even the "figures" will not be sold.

And "The Little Master of China"? !

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it. Except for the heroine Zhou Meili who could barely be called "pleasing to the eye and pretty", the other characters seemed to be a bit "abstract".

Difficult clam ah!
If you expect to make a lot of money selling figurines, I'm afraid there is no hope.The male protagonist Liu Maoxing, that is, the young master, is certainly handsome and compelling, but...

"Do you buy his handiwork?"

"Not buying!"

"Why don't you buy it? Is my young master not handsome enough? Or are you in love with other flirtatious sluts?"

"If he opens a cooking training class, or a restaurant, then I will definitely take care of the business. As for the handicrafts... Who would buy his handicrafts?"

No need to think about it, a group of foodies are only interested in shiny dishes, chef Liu Maoxing?Serious people who are interested in cooking!
Gu Miao was almost autistic.

Although it is possible to make money without peripheral derivatives, after all, the quality of "The Little Master of China" is here, how could it make him lose money?
But he believed in one truth:
Earn less = lose!
It is obvious that you can make a lot of money, but if you can't make it, isn't it a blood loss?

If a popular animation work like "The Little Master of China" doesn't make any money from peripheral derivatives, he won't be able to sleep at night.

However, there is really nothing around!

Can't you make a figure of [Glowing Egg Fried Rice] and show everyone a magic trick of "you can only watch but not eat", right?
That's a bit abstract!

Chasing away Ma Kui, who was only focused on drinking tea, and almost didn't give him all the tea leaves, Gu Miao nestled in the office thinking all afternoon.

Finally, when he was about to leave work, he finally thought of it.

Why not sell recipes?
"Little master pushes!Ten Dishes that Novice Chefs Must Learn", "Yangquan Restaurant's Specialty Dishes", "Liu Maoxing teaches you how to cook", "Yangquan Restaurant is all about me in C! ——The youngest super chef in history"...

It sounds very attractive!
Now that the textbook market is so hot, there's no reason why recipes that teach cooking skills can't be sold?What's more, this is the recipe of Xiaodangjia!
Take a bigger step.

The recipes are all there, and the gold-medal kitchen utensils certified by the "Little Master" need a complete set?
As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if your cooking skills are poor, but your kitchen utensils must not be poor!
Even if a dark dish is made in the end, it is a dark dish made with gold medal kitchen utensils, and the value will be completely different.

Just when Gu Miao was thinking about how to fool him into cooperating with him to create a "Little Master's Cookbook" after the culinary director at the state banquet level was in place, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

"Mr. Gu, there is a guest coming to visit you."

The girl at the front desk came in and reported: "He claims to be your junior high school classmate, surnamed Li, do you want to meet him?"

Surnamed Li, junior high school classmate?
Gu Miao was suddenly puzzled. Among his classmates in junior high school, there seemed to be quite a few with the surname Li. Who is this?

And it seems that it is not good news that a junior high school classmate came to visit for no reason!Couldn't it be that he came here to borrow money when he learned that he was rich?
That's really annoying!
It's no wonder that Gu Miao thinks of people so badly, the main reason is that he has already lost contact with his former classmates after so many years of graduation.

I haven't contacted you for so many years...

It is impossible for him to come to visit him suddenly after he has just made it to the rich list.

But well!
Everyone came to their door. As an old classmate, Gu Miao always had to go out to meet him, no matter whether he borrowed money or not.

Otherwise, if it gets out, you'll think how arrogant he is, and even his old classmates won't talk to him anymore.

　I think of the "golden kitchen utensils" that my good friend bought when the magic chef Xiao Fugui was the most popular. It was very small, only as big as a thumb...
