my animation era

Chapter 452 Box Office Poison—Hou Bin (for subscription)
The happy holiday is over.

After playing in Neon for a week, Gu Miao boarded the return flight with the employees who had gained a lot.

This week has been very fulfilling.

Under the arrangement of TBS and ANB TV stations, Gu Miao took people to visit a number of local neon animation companies and gained valuable experience.

Especially in the field of 2D animation.

As we all know, Neon's 2D animation is particularly strong.Although Wanbao is the number one animation company in China, there are still many gaps in this aspect.

For Wanbao Animation, it is not ashamed to learn and learn from each other's strengths.After all, as the old saying goes, threesomes must have my teacher!
of course……

In the process of visiting these local neon animation companies, everyone also discovered some common problems in the neon animation industry.

For example, the hidden dangers of "unstable quality" brought about by the weekly broadcast system.

Neon animation is generally based on the "weekly broadcast system".Under this broadcasting system, the construction period becomes extremely "fatal".

In order to meet the deadline, the quality of the works has been seriously uneven.

Moreover, the production budget assigned to each episode is actually not fixed, it mainly depends on how much the production committee is willing to allocate.

This created a situation.

The same TV animation, maybe when it was produced last week, the construction period was very generous and the production committee was very generous, and a large sum of money was approved.

So this episode was really well done!
When it was the next week's turn, due to various unexpected schedules and the production committee's reluctance to approve a large budget, the episode did a poor job.

The quality of the work is extremely unstable.

In all fairness, Gu Miao felt that this was not good.For the same animation, why is there such a big difference in the production level between the previous episode and the next episode?
Simply unable to complain.

In addition, Gu Miao also found a problem.That is the "average level" of neon animation, which is overestimated by many people in China.

domestic.

Whether it's a TV station or a video site, the neon animations broadcast are almost all first-class masterpieces, with excellent viewing experience and rave reviews.

This directly leads to some people narrowly thinking that all neon animations are like this, which is completely at the level of "National Comics".

But in fact...

There are also quite a few "spicy chicken animations" in Neon's own country, and there are even countless.Most animations can actually be called "bad movies".

And these rotten animations were completely reduced to "abandoned children" after they were broadcast in Neon's home country.

Since no one has introduced it to Huaguo, domestic audiences have never seen it and don't know. It turns out that Neon produces so many bad movies in a year?
It belongs to a blind eye.

……

After returning to China, Gu Miao did not immediately devote herself to the production of the animation "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Kingdom".

He went to Lightning Studios first.

The movie "Armageddon!""Dragon Fighter X-ray Messenger" was released for more than half a month, and the box office barely exceeded 1800 million yuan.

This blow to Hou Bin was not insignificant.

Looking back at the beginning of the year, the box office of the movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Snake Comes Around" broke [-] million, how exciting it was.

At that time he thought.

Even if the theatrical version I filmed is far less excellent than "Snake Comes Around", it won't earn [-] million at the box office.But in any case, it should be easy to cut [-] million box office, right?

Based on this self-confidence, he rejected Mr. Gu's proposal and chose Tou Tie to be screened in theaters.

It turns out that he overestimated himself.

Let alone the unattainable 2000 million box office, when the movie is released, it will be thankful that the total box office can exceed [-] million.

"Okay, why are you sighing?"

Gu Miao comforted: "If you can't do it once, then do it again! We Wanbao don't have many other things, but we have a lot of IPs, and we can make as many animation movies as we want."

"That's what I said, but..."

"Forget it, I don't think making movies is suitable for me. Fortunately, the investment in this theatrical version is not large. If it is of the level of "Quiba", I really don't know what to say."

Hou Bin sighed, once again realizing the fact that he was a "box office poison".

From "Quiba" to the theatrical version of "Dragon Fighter X-ray Envoy", he has screwed up two animated films.

The box office is worse than one.

The first time was an accident, and the second time was also an accident?When he said this, he himself didn't believe it.

What about making Nima animated movies?

Stop shooting!roll!
Hou Bin, who finally realized that he was not that material, gave up on himself and said, "I'd better go to TV animation, or this is more suitable for me."

"Haha! No problem."

Gu Miao asked with a smile: "Have you decided what project you want to do? If you haven't thought about it, I have a few projects here, what do you think?"

After saying this, he took out a stack of paper files that he had already prepared from the file bag he carried with him, and handed it to Hou Bin.

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf's Fantastic Ideas Pleasant Goat"!
"Happy Baby: Happy Superman"!
"The Little Master of China 2"!
"X"!
Seeing the four animation projects, Hou Bin was very surprised.

Although most of them are sequels, being a sequel does not mean that the production budget is very low!If all four plans are approved, then count the original works such as "Yu-Gi-Oh" being produced.

Be nice!

Is Wanbao Animation so rich now?Can you start so many projects in one go?

Looking at the domestic animation industry, this rich and powerful posture is second only to Plum Blossom Animation, which is backed by Penguin.

While lamenting the current scale and financial resources of Wanbao Animation, Hou Bin, who was flipping through the four proposals, suddenly pointed to the letter "X" and asked.

"Mr. Gu, who is this X?"

"Code name..."

Gu Miao said embarrassingly: "This is an original animation project. I haven't decided on a name yet, so I can only use the letter X instead."

original?

Hou Bin, who heard these two words, immediately became interested, put aside the first three sequels, and directly opened the project named X.

Unfortunately, there is nothing inside.

Looking at the blank file, the corner of Hou Bin's mouth twitched and said, "Mr. Gu, what are you asking me to read? No name, no basic overview?"

"Didn't this just come back from Neon, I didn't have time to write it!"

Gu Miao rubbed her chin and asked, "I hear what you mean, are you curious about this project?"

"A little……"

"That's fine, come to me later. I'll have a good chat with you."

Gu Miao raised her wrist, looked at the time on the watch and said, "Since there is not enough time, I can only tell you briefly that this is a special animation."

"Special in nature? How special?"

"Let's put it this way..."

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "Anthropomorphize our country of Hua into a rabbit, and tell the whole process of changing the world from the perspective of animals."

Uh!
Hearing this, Hou Bin lost his voice.It took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "That's really... quite special!"

Anthropomorphizing a country?

What kind of weird idea is this?
