Chapter 464 "Hot Potato" Pleasant Goat (for subscription)

"Mr. Gu, well said!"

As soon as the symposium ended, Mr. Qiu from Konjac Animation came up to Gu Miao and praised him with a thumbs up.

"Your words have pointed out the direction for everyone. After listening to your speech, I also want to try an animation with unpopular and niche themes..."

"You can try it."

Konjac Animation As a good friend of Wanbao, Gu Miao is happy to point out the way for Mr. Qiu: "Isn't the tomb-robbing genre very popular in online novels recently, I don't think it's a big problem to adapt it."

"Oh! Really?"

"Since you have said so, Mr. Gu, then I have to study it later."

Hearing this, Mr. Qiu, who was immediately interested, silently wrote down the words "tomb robber", and planned to go back and read it carefully to see if it was worth adapting.

If it is really worth adapting, and if the copyright is not expensive, then Mr. Qiu doesn't mind buying it to try something new with an unpopular and niche theme.

Although under his promotion, Konjac Animation has given up most of its original projects and is mainly engaged in animation outsourcing business.

But this does not mean that Mr. Qiu has completely given up on "original" animation.

The reason why I did not engage in originality during the transformation was mainly because I had no money and could hardly survive.Now that I have made money, and this kind of "unpopular niche" theme doesn't cost too much, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

This is not the point.

After the painful lessons of the past few years, Mr. Qiu's obsession with original animation is no longer what it used to be.

Compared with the so-called "grave robbery" theme, he wanted to get a big production order for the well-known animation "sequel" from Gu Miao.

"Eh? A sequel?"

Gu Miao, who was seated in a western restaurant under President Qiu's leadership, couldn't help asking, "Haven't we always cooperated in this regard?"

If he remembered correctly.

From the end of last year to the present, Konjac Animation has been involved in the production of many projects under Wanbao Animation.

The cooperation between the two parties is so close that it can be said that they wear the same pair of pants. Why did Mr. Qiu suddenly mention this?

"I didn't mean that..."

Mr. Qiu waved his hand and sighed, "I mean, we, Konjac Animation, haven't produced a complete animation for a long time."

"So I want to discuss with you, is it possible to hand over a complete animation project to us for production?"

"Don't worry, the fee will be cheaper. It doesn't matter how much you earn, the main thing is to make a complete animation, which will give us a sense of accomplishment."

Complete animation project?
Gu Miao took a sip of water and looked at Mr. Qiu opposite, her eyes full of surprise.

He really did not expect that Qiu would always make such a request suddenly.But from Mr. Qiu's point of view, it's really boring to keep "playing hands" with others.

Well known.

The animation outsourcing part is usually some "repetitive" time-consuming and labor-intensive dirty work.Doing this kind of work wears down the will of an animator.

Konjac Animation used to be an original company.

Now, in order to survive, I have to give up originality and work as a nanny at Wanbao's house next door, mopping the floor and cleaning the table to do all kinds of dirty work.

It's okay to say in a short time.

After a long time, I am afraid most people in the company will feel that Konjac Animation has no future, and staying here is a waste of time and life...

At that time, Konjac Anime will be in danger!I'm afraid Mr. Qiu couldn't hold back the successive resignation reports.

Based on this premise, Gu Miao can understand President Qiu's thoughts.

It's just that he hesitated...

Wanbao has many IPs, most of which are "high-quality animation projects".Is it really okay to hand over this kind of animation project to Konjac Animation?
"Mr. Gu!"

As if he had seen through Gu Miao's hesitation and knew what he was thinking, Mr. Qiu quickly patted his chest and promised, "If you are worried, you can send someone to our company to supervise us at all times."

"If you are not satisfied with the finished film, we can also tear it down and redo it."

"let me see……"

Gu Miao stroked her chin and said, "Then the nature of the cooperation is still the same as before, right? You are an OEM and only get salary and bonus?"

"Correct!"

Mr. Qiu affirmed: "The copyright still belongs to Wanbao. We only need the naming rights of a producer to let the audience know that this season is produced by Konjac Animation."

Co-producer?
It doesn't matter, after all, it's just a name to let everyone know that this animation is produced by Konjac Animation.

Gu Miao frowned and fell into deep thought.

Mr. Qiu didn't urge him either, and it took more than ten minutes before he said, "Yes, I agree."

"How about this, it happens that this year's "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has no one to take over the fourth season, are you willing to do it?"

"Huh? Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?"

Mr. Qiu's eyes widened, and he looked at Gu Miao in disbelief.

What did he hear?
I thought that even if Mr. Gu agreed to this matter, he would not hand over his ace IP to Konjac Animation to make a sequel.

Mr. Qiu expected that it should be the second season of "Happy Baby" or the third season of "Pigman"...

It turned out to be the famous "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"!
"That's right, Pleasant Goat!"

When Gu Miao said this, her expression was full of embarrassment and helplessness.

The IP of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is definitely a "hot potato" in Wanbao Animation.

He asked Huang Kun, Hou Bin, Wang Dao and Guo Hongwei one after another, and everyone said that they would rather starve to death and jump off the Wanbao Building than take over the fourth season.

Don't ask, it's cowardly to ask.

Pleasant Goat is too famous, and there has also been a serious "loss of audience".If it were two years ago, everyone would be happy to accept the procedure.

But now...

Who dares to shoot the fourth season of this thing?

It should have been filmed well. After all, the IP popularity of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is here, and it has nothing to do with your director.

The shooting was poor. Thinking about the "Internet violence" that Guo Hongwei encountered when the third season was broadcast, it was all the fault of the director. Who can stand it?
This kind of thankless project, Wan Bao's old fritters, refused to take over no matter what.

no way!
Gu Miao, who was worrying that no one would take over, was going to take over the "sin" by herself, after learning of Mr. Qiu's request, although there was no expression on her face, she was already smiling in her heart.

Great!
Someone is willing to take this hot potato away.

Mr. Qiu is indeed a good brother.

Knowing that no one in Wanbao was willing to take this job, he took the initiative to stand up and said righteously: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
It's just so touching.

"come on!"

Before Mr. Qiu could speak, Gu Miao couldn't wait to finalize the matter: "I'll send someone to send you the preliminary plan and materials later."

"President Qiu, don't worry!"

"Not only the producer's name, but your name will also be pasted at the beginning of the animation...in bold and large! Make sure the audience knows that you made the fourth season of Pleasant Goat."

President Qiu: "..."

How did he smell a "conspiracy" from this sentence?
　Fact: The hotter the anime, the more influential it is, the more difficult it is to determine the director/supervisor of the sequel...
