The great chess master in the world of Go has passed away!

To be precise, he is a future chess master. Because he really can’t learn Go, he simply stopped learning.

"Learn Hammer Go..."

Gu Miao cursed and said, "I just don't want to waste time on this. It's not that I'm stupid and can't understand."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"Mr. Gu understands the righteousness and does not want to snatch Xiao Ke's world championship, so he reluctantly gives up Go. How generous is this?"

"If Mr. Gu insists on studying, I'm afraid you will be the number one person in the world in a few months."

Ma Kui flatters him endlessly. He knows what Mr. Gu likes to hear, and he also knows that Mr. Gu needs a step down now, so he flatters him without any burden.

"I love hearing this!"

After hearing this, Gu Miao's face softened slightly: "Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. The main reason I came to you is about the "Journey to the West" animation proposed by CCTV."

"The process is so fast?"

Ma Kui looked a little surprised.

Not long after the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was completed, CCTV proposed to hand over the remaining three works of the "Four Great Classics" to Wanbao for animation adaptation.

Among them, "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin" were declined by Gu Miao, and CCTV chose to form its own team to produce them.

"Journey to the West" was spotted by Wanbao, which promised to make every effort to adapt it into an animation, with CCTV as the platform to broadcast and distribute it.

Although a consensus has been reached, it is well known that CCTV is a very large official department.

This is not Wanbao's one-word talk.

If it is a company like Wanbao, as long as the management reaches a consensus, a production team can be established quickly, and there is no need to go through any procedural audits in the middle.

But the Journey to the West animation project is, after all, a project proposed by CCTV, and they are also one of the producers, so they need to participate.

This also means.

The corresponding planning and discussion, project review, qualification verification and approval filing work requires a very long process.

At that time, Gu Miao said that it would take at least half a year or more from the time the idea was proposed to the implementation of this project.

This is very reasonable.

Don’t think that half a year is an exaggeration for a project to go from “idea” to action. In fact, half a year is considered conservative. Some projects may wait ten or twenty years from the birth of the idea to the start of production.

This is no joke...

As far as Gu Miao knows, there is a work in Meiying Studio. The idea was proposed a long time ago, but the actual production started 30 years later.

There are similar things happening abroad.

For example, the well-known movie "Frozen" is a typical example. As early as the mid-20th century, Di Baobao thought about adapting the classic fairy tale "The Snow Queen".

In the 1990s, the idea was put on the agenda again, but was aborted due to various reasons.

It was not until the beginning of the 21st century that Di Baobao started the project again in order to promote the "3D princess" process, and this was the "Frozen" that everyone saw on the screen.

The waiting time in between was at least sixty or seventy years.

It is precisely because of this situation that Gu Miao and Ma Kui feel that the "Journey to the West" project will be officially launched, at least next year.

But no one expected it.

The leaders at the top attached great importance to this matter. Not only did they personally inquire about it, they also gave the green light to the project, which directly saved a lot of time.

"Of course, the main reason is that CCTV was very satisfied with the effect of our last adaptation of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."" Gu Miao said with a smile.

This is the key!

The outstanding performance of New Three Kingdoms Animation has made many people have full confidence in Wanbao and feel that they will be able to adapt Journey to the West well, so they are so relieved.

How about trying another company?

If instead of Wanbao, other companies apply to produce this project, let’s not talk about whether it can pass the review. Even if it can be approved by CCTV, the project will be launched at least a year later, and it cannot be so fast.

"Indeed."

Ma Kui nodded in agreement.

The reason why Journey to the West animation was implemented so quickly was mainly due to the huge influence of Three Kingdoms Animation.

This is just like those online authors opening new books. Suppose there are two authors opening new books at the same time. One is a newbie with no representative works, and the other is an old author who has been famous for a long time.

Then here comes the problem.

Under the premise of uncertainty about future development, which of these two books do you think is most likely to be unfinished? Which one are readers and editors more willing to believe?

You don't need to think twice to know that it is an old author.

After all, he has completed so many books and has a record of completing them. This is something that has been proven.

On the other hand, a new author has no record of completing a book and has never written a book before. Under the premise of unknown conditions, it is not surprising at all to suspect that he will end up being an eunuch.

In the domestic animation industry, Wanbao is equivalent to an old author in the online literature industry, and he is also a platinum god.

The industry's trust in Wanbao is naturally not something that ordinary animation companies can match.

Not convinced? Just hold it in!

…

Although it is surprising that the animated "Journey to the West" project was implemented so quickly, it also disrupted Gu Miao's arrangements.

After all, in his plan, Journey to the West animation project should not be established so early. That is next year's work...

But plans can't keep up with changes.

CCTV has already reviewed and approved it. It is inevitable to establish the animation project. CCTV cannot take action, so Wanbao can't just pretend to be dead, right?

The establishment of the production team is mainly based on employees of Wanbao Animation. Although the CCTV animation department will send some reinforcements, the total number of people is not large.

And in key positions, the chief director must be someone from Wanbao.

After all, most of the production team members are from Wanbao, but the chief director is an outsider? This doesn’t make sense. How can there be any reason to let outsiders hold power?

But when it comes to specific candidates, Gu Miao had difficulties.

It would be best for him to act on his own, but because of the "Go Boy" project, it is difficult for him to escape. At most, he will have the false title of "chief producer" on the production team, and the director will have to find another director.

Maguire is a good choice.

After all, Xiao Ma is the second person with the honorary qualifications of Wanbao and is also the chief director of the new version of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". If even he can't do it, Wanbao will have no one to use.

It’s just Ma Kui...

Gu Miao was very worried. This time he was ignored by others and turned into a mascot.

After all, in the new version of the animation Three Kingdoms production team, he had already been sidelined by Koizumi once. He was called the chief director but was actually the deputy director, and could only serve as Koizumi's deputy.

Koizumi was not here this time, but CCTV assigned an assistant director.

Putting aside this person's abilities, Gu Miao was really afraid that Ma Kui would be sidelined and that the good chief director would become an assistant director and act as a green leaf.

Dama!

This kind of thing...can't be done.

Ma Kui is not embarrassed. He is embarrassed as a boss. He was ignored by Koizumi last time. After all, Koizumi is one of his own. In the end, he can still accept it.

But this time it’s an outsider!

If he is ignored by a relative, what is the difference between him and a puppet emperor? Once word gets out, how will people view Ma Kui and Wanbao?

Because of this, even if Ma Kui is the most suitable candidate, Gu Miao is still hesitant, worried that he will not be able to control his relatives, resulting in the imperial power being reduced to a puppet emperor.

"It's really not like..."

After learning about Mr. Gu’s worries, Ma Kui’s forehead was covered with black lines and he said: “How much of a waste do I have to be to be ignored twice in a row?”

"Besides, it was me who took the initiative to delegate power to Xiaoquan during the Three Kingdoms Animation, and I didn't let him sideline me. Mr. Gu, please stop talking nonsense!"

Is taking the initiative to delegate power the same thing as taking the initiative?

"I understand, I understand, just give in!"

Gu Miao waved her hand and said: "Anyway, I'm going to say something ugly first, you must take the initiative this time, and you can't let others poop and urinate on you, otherwise you will get out of here, do you understand?"

"I see."

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I've seen a lot of palace fight scenes. With my methods, I can definitely control the overall situation." Ma Kui said confidently.

Palace fight drama?

Good guy, do you really think of yourself as the emperor and the production team as your harem?

Gu Miao was speechless. Although Ma Kui's so-called "palace fighting experience" sounded very unreliable, at this point, there was no other way but to believe him.

"correct!"

"This "Journey to the West" animation is different from the last Three Kingdoms animation. The production will be more sophisticated and the special effects will be better..."

"Don't you need 3D?"
