my animation era

As the time came to the end of February, the animated film "Happy Year of the Monkey", which was released for nearly a month, finally closed its eyes.

How do you say that?

Some movies die on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and lie in the coffin on the [-]th day of the first lunar month!

Although the theaters gave Wanbao a lot of face, even though the film's attendance rate was not high and the box office was very low, it still allowed "Happy Year of the Monkey" to last an extra week in theaters.

But it's useless...

Thanks to being in theaters for a week, the total box office has only risen by less than 800 million. To be honest, it's better to get out of theaters quickly, don't take advantage of the filming and not sell tickets!

what is interesting.

"Happy Year of the Monkey" has been fully screened, and the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon", which was released earlier, is still refusing to leave the theaters.

Seto's main character is sloppy!
The Neon branch is completely shameless. Anyway, I just rely on the theaters. One more day of screening will bring back some blood. Don't try to drive me away.

As for whether the theater will agree or not?

Forehead!
They didn't want to agree either. After all, no one wanted to do this kind of loss-making business. Is it true that the rent and water and electricity bills of the movie theater don't cost money?
But I really can't stand Seto's stalking, and the high proportion of accounts promised by the Neon branch.

For other movies, assuming that the ticket price of the movie is 100 yen, it is very good if the theater can get 40 yen.The theatrical version of "Sailor Moon" can be screened, and the theater can get at least 70 yen...

Seto is a real dog!

He knew that after being kicked out of the movie theater's lineup, he would not be able to earn a penny, so he decisively chose to feed the tiger, and stayed in the theater for an extra half a month.

Of course, no matter how you cut meat and feed tigers, it will not change the fact that the movie version of "Sailor Moon" is a pile of shit.

It's nothing more than a little less loss.

Gu Miao recognized the efforts of Seto and the Nihong branch, but he felt that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. After so many tricks, it's better to try hard to earn back the second part!
In addition to the release of the two theatrical versions one after another, another incident happened at the end of February.

With Hou Bin as the chief director, the domestic inspirational gourmet and folk-themed cartoon "Sacred Chef Xiaofugui" produced by Wanbao Animation was broadcast on Zhonghai Children's Channel at 18:00 in the evening.

……

"Another gourmet show?"

Liu Zida, who was boiling hot water and was planning to use instant noodles for dinner, accidentally glanced at the TV screen, his eyes full of anticipation.

Good guy!
Ever since "The Little Master of China" ended, he thought that Wanbao Animation would not be able to make a gourmet show.

After all, the luminous egg fried rice is so classic, it is difficult for any gourmet fan to match or even surpass this setting. This theme is equivalent to being played to death by Wanbao.

But he never expected it.

After a lapse of two years, Wanbao Animation actually launched another gourmet show that focuses on cooking.

This is interesting...

The shock and novelty brought by "The Little Master of China" is still vivid in Liu Zida's memory. He really wants to know whether this animation called "Little Fugui, the Chef" can surpass Little Master and become a new benchmark for gourmet fans?
Probably not!

Before the official broadcast of the animation, Zhonghai Children's Channel deliberately squeezed out advertising space to play the preheating PV of "Little Fugui, the Chef".

Liu Zida just glanced at it, then frowned.

This is a gourmet show?
The entire warm-up PV lasts for 3 minutes, and there are very few scenes of cooking, and more of the wonderful interactive clips between the protagonist Xiao Fugui and other characters.

He sensed something was wrong.

However, he didn't think too much about it. After all, this was just a promotional PV film, and he couldn't rush to a conclusion. He had to watch the feature film first.

After a few minutes.

The instant noodles were soaked, and the advertisement was over. Liu Zida, who was carrying the instant noodles, sat down in front of the sofa and looked at the TV screen.

"Food is the most important thing for the people. Chai, rice, sauce, vinegar and salt, no one can leave three meals a day~"

"You can also adjust the taste of the crowd, relying on recruiting new ones, being a human being is like mixing tofu with shallots~"

"Walk in all directions for nothing~"

Accompanied by the melodious theme song, the animation officially started broadcasting the first episode.

The capital, the imperial palace.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning struck from time to time. The narrator explained the background of the story to the audience in a calm tone.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the failure of the Reform Movement of [-], the Allied Forces invaded, and the Empress Dowager fled westward with the Emperor in a hurry...

"Suck and suck!"

While eating the noodles, Liu Zida complained, "Wanbao, Li Zaigan, the devil? Hurry up and start the cooking competition. What historical stories are you going to tell at night?"

Are you here to tell your story?Everyone is obviously here to watch the protagonist show off his cooking skills and use his superb skills to make all kinds of delicacies!

Can we get to the point quickly?

Not only Liu Zida, many viewers also complained about the procrastination of the plot when they saw the plot of the Queen Mother fleeing westward and Xiao Lizi killing the imperial chef.

Gourmet Fan, it’s fine if you tell everyone such a serious historical story, can you hurry up and let the protagonist appear?
The Queen Mother and Little Eunuch Li are not good at first glance, everyone really doesn't want to see them.

Not everyone is impatient.

But the history of the late Qing Dynasty is too heavy for many people, and every time they think about it, they will feel like a knife hurts.

Everyone watching the food show is here to have fun and relax, not to relive this humiliating history and cause trouble for yourself in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, the story of the empress dowager fleeing westward in a hurry did not last long, and soon the camera cut to a restaurant in a small town called "Hongjia Restaurant".

The imperial chef is dead.

The Queen Mother needed a new chef, and Eunuch Li also needed a suitable scapegoat, so he took orders to find the cook.

In the Hongjia restaurant, the little father-in-law Li, who was greedy for pork head meat, made a speechless request after learning that there was no meat here——to make a plate of vegetarian pork head meat with vegetarian dishes!

"I go……"

Liu Zida, who was eating instant noodles, was subconsciously stunned when he heard the name of this dish.

Pork head?Biscuit?

Are you sure you're not joking?This is even more outrageous than fish-flavored shredded pork without fish!Where in the world is there such a thing as vegetarian pork head?

"Grandpa, look at mine!"

Fortunately, the protagonist deserves to be the protagonist.

Xiao Fugui saw that his grandpa was in such a difficult situation, he thought of carving a pig's head out of radish and adding various seasonings to make a plate of vegetarian pig's head meat.

Eunuch Li was very satisfied with the meal, and said that the pork head meat is really crispy...

"Can it be crispy? That's a plate of big radishes!"

Seeing the appearance of Xiao Lizi's reincarnated starving ghost eating in the animation, Liu Zida also understood.

This guy hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and he has forgotten what meat tastes like. As long as he sees the appearance of a pig's head, even if he eats a radish, he still thinks it tastes like meat.

But then again...

Is the radish really delicious like this?Or did the animation deliberately exaggerate the deliciousness of this plate of radishes in order to portray Xiao Lizi's starvation?
Why don't you stop eating the instant noodles and go to the supermarket downstairs to buy a big white radish, follow the animation method, and make a plate of vegetarian pork head meat to taste?

Due to the rising price of pork, Liu Zida, who hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, was actually tempted by a plate of plain roasted pork head made of radish...

Only then did I realize that the label of Master Chef Xiao Fugui is children, inspirational, not gourmet food...
