Chapter 661

It turns out.

The reward standard for the national competition champion given by Wanbao is full of attractiveness for both the students and the school.

The school wants the teaching building.

Students want to engrave their own names on the monument of merit and virtue in the teaching building, so that the younger students can admire their "great achievements" at any time.

So...

After the announcement of the schedule and reward standards of the Wanbao Cup National Tennis Competition for Middle School Students, it soon received strong support from various schools, and students actively signed up for the competition.

Simply too enthusiastic!
In just two days, more than 400 schools and teams from all over the country have signed up for the competition, which is frightening to death.

This is the result of Gu Miao controlling the number of places as much as possible to avoid the competition from becoming stinky and long.

If the threshold is lowered, it is estimated that the number of schools that sign up for the competition can easily exceed a thousand. Even if it is assigned to each province, there will be more than a dozen or even dozens of schools participating.

Never doubt...

After all, it is a weekend activity, which does not take up normal teaching time, and Wanbao covers round-trip travel expenses, as well as generous rewards and quotas for entering the "East China/South China/North China/West China Competition", so it is strange not to be active.

But then again.

Although many teams and players signed up for the competition, Gu Miao didn't feel that there were a large number of youngsters with outstanding tennis talents among them.

Most of them are "tennis lovers".

What is a fan?
He knows the rules and loves to play tennis, but to say how well he plays is bullshit.

Geniuses are always a minority.

Like the animation "The Prince of Tennis", a large number of talented teenagers emerged at the same time, which can be called the golden generation. The probability of this happening in reality is too low.

Maybe this is why, "The Prince of Tennis" is dubbed the "bizarre fantasy" animation!
……

The Prince of Tennis has been questioned. There are a lot of unreasonable and even "surreal" parts in its plot and even its setting background.

Netizens have been discussing this matter.

In the beginning, it was just snake ball and outspin serve. The name sounds scary, but the actual effect is just that ordinary ball skills.Although it cannot be imitated, the audience can also accept it.

Zhou Zhu's triple counterattack stunts, such as flying swallows back to the nest, etc., at most made everyone frown...

However, with the gradual emergence of "unscientific" ball skills such as the field and the limit of hard work, more and more viewers have complained about the animation "The Prince of Tennis".

The point of the complaint is naturally that as the plot progresses, the skills in the animation "The Prince of Tennis" become more and more wrong.

Some viewers often went to Gu Miao and even Wanbao's official Weibo account to appeal to the production team to stop this "exaggerated rendering" practice and let the tennis ball return to its most authentic appearance.

Their suggestions are not without reason.

"The Prince of Tennis" is a very passionate and youthful sports show, and it has been very popular among young audiences since it was broadcast.

Tennis is being played more and more outrageously, and has even evolved into "fantasy tennis", which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some viewers...

But come on!
Gu Miao's opinion is different from this part of the audience.

He admits that killer tennis and fantasy tennis are really nonsense and outrageous, and the change from sports to fantasy has also hurt many people's hearts.

But this is also to make the animation more passionate!
Completely realistic, that is unrealistic.What's the point of animating a real tennis match?Will passer-by viewers be interested?
It's a question of trade-offs.

The emergence of skills such as field, seamless, hard-working, and killing the five senses is essentially to please "passer-by fans" rather than "tennis enthusiasts".

The number of passerby fans is definitely more than that of tennis fans.

So this change, as well as the dissatisfaction and complaints of some audiences, are completely acceptable from the perspective of Gu Miao, the director and producer.

Let him change back?
very sorry!
Gu Miao could tell which was more important, who was the audience he should keep, and who was the audience he could give up and ignore.

"But word of mouth has declined."

Ma Kui said distressedly: "Originally, when "The Prince of Tennis" first aired, the word-of-mouth ratings were quite high. But when it came to the East China Competition, the ratings dropped instantly."

"It doesn't matter, it will still fall."

Gu Miao said calmly.

What are ratings for?It can neither be eaten nor exchanged for money, if it falls, it will fall!
not to mention.

Judging from the word-of-mouth trend of the original "Prince of Tennis" animation, it is normal for the score to drop.

Originally, the best part of the Prince of Tennis was before the Kanto Tournament.After the Kanto Competition, the National Competition, and even the Invitational Tournament and the U17 World Cup, the word-of-mouth has clearly declined.

"Forget it, don't talk about that."

Gu Miao didn't want to talk about these bad things, after all, it's useless to talk about it, and the word-of-mouth score can't be increased from nothing.

Instead of letting go of this self-pity, why not think about it, how should this year's "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" Chinese New Year movie be shot?
It's October!

This year's Lunar New Year, unsurprisingly, should be in mid-February next year.Counting the days, there are only five months left.

Since Gu Miao's daughter-in-law's due date is approaching and he has no time to worry about it, the Chinese New Year movie was moved from the Spring Festival to the next summer vacation.

Movies for the Year of the Goat must not be done like this.

Still have to go to the Spring Festival stalls!
Based on this premise, Gu Miao called Du Hao, Ma Kui, Lao Zhang and others in advance to discuss the year of the sheep movie, who should be filmed for it?How to shoot?
"Mr. Gu, come by yourself!"

Lao Zhang joked: "Last year, my wife gave birth to a child. Don't tell me that this year my son will be one year old, so you don't have time?"

"I have time."

"But I have a good plan here, and I plan to take advantage of this time to think about it."

"You have a new plan?"

Ma Kuina wondered: "Isn't there still a national competition in the animation "The Prince of Tennis"? You don't want to continue filming?"

"National competition chapter, I can do it next year. Besides, you should all know that I don't like making TV sequels..."

This is true.

Wanbao Animation has been established for so many years, Mr. Gu seems to have never made any TV sequels.Usually it is thrown to other people, and they make original creations by themselves.

On this point, everyone is still quite speechless.

No one knows what Mr. Gu is thinking, anyway, his attitude towards the sequel is very repulsive, no matter how successful or popular the works are, he will treat them equally.

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to.

Since Mr. Gu has his arrangement, the director of the Year of the Goat movie has to find another candidate.

Aside from Huang Kun and Guo Hongwei, Wanbao Animation's idle directors include Director Wang, Du Hao, Ma Kui and others.

Among them, Gu Miao likes Ma Kui.
