"SpongeBob SquarePants" is probably one of the few foreign animations whose theme song made Gu Miao's eyes light up and found it very interesting.

The point is it’s fun!

Although the translated lyrics are really simple and crude, I have to admit that this song is indeed a classic, so classic that people can't help laughing just by thinking about it.

Gu Miao always thought...

If it weren't for this song and the oil painting of the talking "Captain" that attracted him, he might have missed the work "SpongeBob SquarePants" when he was a child.

No joke!

The first time he met SpongeBob SquarePants, he was attracted by this song, and then subconsciously stayed on a children's channel until he watched the sunset.

There were not many English songs that Gu Miao could sing when she was a child. Apart from birthday songs like Happy Birthday to You, the only English song that Gu Miao could sing was probably the theme song of "SpongeBob SquarePants".

Every aspect of the animation "SpongeBob SquarePants" is excellent. Looking at the hundreds or thousands of animations I watched when I was a child, it ranks at the top, alongside "Tom and Jerry", "Bugs Bunny" and other works.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the common feeling shared by many people when they were young.

That is……

Why are there so many good-looking animations from abroad? Every animation imported from abroad is better than the last one?

This question could not be answered when Gu Miao was young, but now she has an answer.

Why did I think when I was a child that all foreign animations are good-looking? Because foreign animations that are not good-looking are not worthy of being introduced into China!

This is just like many people’s impression that when it comes to European and American animation, they are all classic masterpieces.

Are all European and American animations at the level of "Bugs Bunny", "Tom and Jerry", and "SpongeBob SquarePants"?

of course not!

It's just that the European and American animations that everyone can see are already "screened" and high-quality. Those European and American animations that are not qualified to be introduced and are so rubbish that when I was a child, I had no chance to come into contact with them.

This is just like Wanbao. When people mention Wanbao animation, the most common saying is "Wanbao's products must be high-quality."

But doesn’t Wanbao have shit?

There are some too!

Didn’t you expect it? Dangdang Wanbao actually also had dung works! The reason why no one discovered it is simply because these works are not very famous, and even after they become popular, few viewers know about them.

For example, "Rasodeng Remastered Edition".

The Raisuden series has been extremely unpopular. The popularity of the first two TV animations has dropped significantly, and their reputation has hit rock bottom.

Ever since, Lightning Studio had an idea and thought that the decline of Leisuden should be a matter of changing the protagonist. Then wouldn't it be good if I changed the protagonist back?

Ling Feng and Ling Yun return to the competition!

Good guy, in order to revive the reputation of Thunderbolt, Lightning Studio did whatever it takes, even the old protagonist who has retired, and even made a remake.

Unfortunately, the result remains unchanged.

The remade version of Lei Sudeng crossed the line in lightning, not to mention the glory of the remake, it didn't even make a splash, and it went cold without any sound.

Lightning Studios is completely desperate.

Not even the remastered version that sells emotions can save Reisudeng. It seems that this series is really unpopular.

"Let's find a new track!"

Under the wise command of Mr. Gu, Lightning Studio regrouped and planned to change fields and tracks, using the most popular top toys as an entry point to produce a top animation.

This is a good idea.

Gu Miao is very optimistic about the new project of Lightning Studio. After all, he is also someone who has read the Alfa Beyblade series and knows that this series is very exciting.

In fact, four-wheel drive is not bad either.

However, Four Wheel Drive and Lightning Studio have already produced an animation. It is impossible to produce another animation of the same type to compete with each other in a short period of time.

After thinking about it, I found that the spinning top is suitable for Lightning Studio's original production intention of "not for ratings and broadcast volume, but just for the best-selling toys."

But then again...

If it were Gu Miao a few years ago, he might have attached great importance to this gyro animation project. After all, there was a lack of money at that time, and any project that could generate money was crucial.

But now Gu Miao may not pay so much attention to it.

At most, I would just ask a few questions, but don’t even think about taking special care or even personally checking it! Nowadays, Wanbao Cai is rich and powerful, and there is no need for Gu Miao to attach so much importance to an inconspicuous work.

As the old saying goes: if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace!

A few years ago, Wanbao was doing animation more for the purpose of making money. From the very beginning of a project, Wanbao was considering how to earn more money through this animation?

It's different now.

Gu Miao, who has a lot of money, no longer regards "making money" as his goal, but is thinking about how to expand the influence of the entire IP through an animation.

The first major theatrical version of "Bear Bears" was also born because of this.

To be honest, Gu Miao's expectation of how much money Gu Miao would make from the movie "Bear Infested" is pure nonsense. As long as he doesn't lose money, it doesn't really matter whether he makes money or not.

"You have to understand one thing. The reason why we, Wanbao, are going to produce the Big Bear movie is not to earn money from fans, but to expand the popularity and social influence of the entire Big Bear IP!"

"If I really want to make money, why should I put down my work and come to you to talk about the details of the plan?"

In the office, Gu Miao said to Du Hao with a serious face: "Making money is not the purpose. Expanding the popularity of the IP and making more people fall in love with "Bear Infested" is the purpose."

"I see."

Du Hao nodded.

Although he was a little confused, he at least understood something, that is, the "Bear Bears" movie does not seem to be planning to follow the common "TV extended version" route?

If it's a TV extended version, he can make it with his feet.

But since Mr. Gu attaches such importance to it and specifically emphasizes that the goal of major movies should be to expand the popularity of the IP, then we must change our thinking.

“Expand IP visibility?”

Thinking about this sentence carefully, Du Hao said thoughtfully: "That means that we need to expand the depth and breadth of the IP of "Infested Bears" and attract more viewers who did not originally watch "Infested Bears" to watch the movie...

"

"That's right!"

Gu Miao nodded first, and then added: "It can be extended to parts that are not covered in the TV version, such as family love, confrontation between good and evil, etc. that are missing in the TV version."

Family affection?

Where does the family affection come from?

Although Bald Qiang's parents had some roles in "Chinese New Year" and "New Year's Goods", they only talked on the phone and did not show their faces!

In addition to his parents, does Brother Qiang have any relatives? You can't create a so-called family atmosphere from Xiong Daxiong Er, right? That's too ridiculous!

Oh wait...

Thinking of this, Du Hao seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Is Brother Qiang married? Does he have a wife and children?"

The parents are not around, and Xiong Daxiong Er is very nonsense. If we want to incorporate elements of family affection, it seems that we can only start with Brother Qiang’s wife and children!
Chapter completed!
