"Journey to the West" is Gu Miao's favorite among the four classics. The protagonist, Sun Wukong, is also the hero he admired most as a child.

Therefore, when CCTV asked Wanbao if he was interested in the project, he agreed without hesitation.

He has high expectations for this animation and is mentally prepared for a big hemorrhage. He has roped in Mr. Bear, CCTV and other capital partners in advance to ensure that there will be no shortage of money during the production process.

But there is an upper limit on investment.

Although Gu Miao is very determined and generous with the money, if the investment limit is really pushed to an unbearable level and affects the operation of the entire company, he will still reluctantly give up the project.

After all, he is not a money printer.

And it is impossible for him to bet the entire future of Wanbao Animation on this animation.

This is a financial consideration.

In addition, there is also time. For an animation work, the production period is always an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.

Everyone knows that the more time passes, the more perfect the work will be.

The two obstacles of funds and construction period limited him, making it impossible for him to create a perfect wooden barrel.

Even if it is a pig, given thousands of years, it can produce a masterpiece that will shock the world. This is called water droplets piercing stone, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

So this is unrealistic.

To be honest, Gu Miao doesn't understand why Wanbao Video's stock price has not rebounded significantly after so long?

Ma Kui seemed to understand what Mr. Gu meant, and sighed: "According to you, "Journey to the West 3D" cannot be a hexagonal warrior?"

"Movie-level quality, vivid character modeling, and smooth and silky fighting depictions can all be used as longboards."

Although this is a fact, we cannot admit it so straightforwardly!

In front of outsiders, there must be all kinds of complaints and complaints, saying that in order to adapt the masterpiece "Journey to the West", the production team went through a lot of hardships and restored the classic as much as possible, and the lights in the screenwriter's office stayed on for a month...

Ma Kui winked and said, "I said the same thing after the animation of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was aired last time."

"Shut up now!"

"That's not R-rated!"

Ma Kui, who was awakened by Gu Miao's words, suddenly realized: "I know what to do. As long as my short board is higher than other people's long board, it is not called a short board."

"The thing I regret most in my life is listening to your slander and buying a piece of shit Wanbao Video's tradable shares."

This is the same as when the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation was produced. The plot does not require major changes.

"As long as you know what's going on."

Don't feel weird.

"Pigman?"

Seeing that Little Bear looked a little disappointed, as if he couldn't let go of the "Fruit Strike" series, Gu Miao quickly comforted him: "Fruit Strike can't work, but Pig Man can!"

"Yes, times have changed."

Mr. Bear rolled his eyes crazily and said, "This is a rubbish company, it's ruining my youth! This money would have been doubled several times if I used it to make animations."

Gu Miao said without changing her expression: "As for being ignored and discarded, it is the shortcomings. It depends on how you choose."

This kind of nonsense is just meant to fool passers-by who don't understand anything.

"I see."

But the problem before us is that a pig cannot live for tens of thousands of years. A pig that can live for 20 years is considered a longevity!

Little Bear is always angry.

"..."

Wanbao Video, the bad coward stock king, has successfully captured a group of Wanbao die-hard fans through his unremitting efforts.

If fans hear this, they may be scolded, and they may think that Wanbao is being lazy on purpose and cutting corners on the plot!

Be reasonable.

Gu Miao tried her best to persuade: "This is more popular and famous than "Fruit Fruit Attack"! If the company hadn't been short of people, I wouldn't have found an outsourcing team."

The picture is 10 points and the plot is 7 points. The plot is undoubtedly a shortcoming, but what if the highest score of other animations in the industry is only 5 points?

…

"You guys, don't you want to secretly get a seat on the board of directors under the guise of adding positions to stop losses?"

In fact, the most difficult thing about adapting "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not the plot, but how to create the characters.

Mr. Xiao Xiong, a veteran stock investor who is also a shareholder trapped in Wanbao Video, said that he does not believe in this evil. The more Wanbao Video falls, the more he wants to increase his position.

The people at Fantastic Animation simply couldn't design an "ancient style mecha" that suited Gu Miao's wishes, so the third season naturally came to nothing.

"Look, you're in over your head again!"

Speaking of stock trading...

No matter how close Little Bear tries to get, he always adheres to his original attitude. "Fruit Strike 3" will be produced by Wanbao himself, and he doesn't trust it to Qiqu Animation.

If "Journey to the West 3D" is really produced according to strict and high standards, even if it has so-called shortcomings, it can beat all its peers, then is this a hexagonal warrior?

"Of course it's 3D!"

Ma Kui, who had just realized this level, frowned again and suddenly thought of a question.

Trade-offs are inevitable.

Ma Kui wanted to answer the question raised by Gu Miao, "Yes, that's what I thought," but when the words came to his lips, he found that he couldn't say them out.

"OK, the plot remains unchanged."

As of today, the total domestic box office of Wolf Warrior 2 has exceeded the 5.5 billion mark and is moving steadily towards 6 billion. No one knows what kind of record this movie will eventually set.

"Sorry, no..."

"So in that era, the American Film Studio was extremely brilliant and created amazing works that are still great to this day."

"But if the shortest piece of wood is longer than the longest piece of wood, would you still think it holds very little water?"

But Wolf Warrior 2 is too abstract.

"I understand."

In order to ensure the vividness of the characters and write the plot dialogue that best suits his temperament, he flipped through a brand new "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" until the pages turned yellow.

After all, other animations require a lot of time and energy just to conceive a wonderful plot, let alone dialogue.

"Sooner or later, the price will go back up. Believe me, I have never made a mistake in investing!"

Ma Kui took note of this proposal and expressed his deep agreement: "I originally thought so too. Since I am a porter of masterpieces, it would be good to reproduce them based on the original works."

Due to the declining reputation of the second season of "Fruit Strike", Gu Miao set a test for the production team under Mr. Little Bear: to design a new set of mecha that fits the background of the Three Kingdoms era!

The title of the film determined it. Wanbao could not make serious magical changes to the original work.

Gu Miao couldn't understand it anyway.

The projects that Little Bear invested in were either non-mainstream or ruined the world view. They were all restricted animations that could only be broadcast in late night slots.

"This series is almost out of date."

Everyone trusted him so much that they spent huge sums of money to buy shares of Wanbao Video, thinking that they would pass it on to their sons and grandsons and witness the birth of a great company with their own eyes.

Rather than continue to undermine Ma Kui's self-confidence, Gu Miao turned to tell the story of Meiying Studio: "Take "Havoc in Heaven" as an example. Do you think the industry can still produce such pure hand-drawn animation now?"

This saves a lot of trouble.

"No?" Little Bear asked.

Damn it, if he hadn't been trapped and couldn't get rid of it, he would have wanted to liquidate his position and run away. Do you really think that investing in stocks and becoming a shareholder is a good thing?

Even if the box office is down, it still crushes all the new September films, vividly explaining what it means that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

"cannot……"

Even the most popular "Wolf Warrior 2", which has become a social phenomenon, has experienced a sharp decline since September.

It can’t really be 6 billion, right?

In what direction should the animation "Journey to the West 3D" take as a breakthrough point, which is the so-called "long board"?

But……

After all, you have changed it, is it still the "Journey to the West" animation that the audience wants to watch?

"How many times?"

But obviously, this is a difficult thing to do. Five years may not sound like a long time, but for many animation production teams, this is a construction period that is unimaginable.

Unexpectedly, Little Bear still refused to give up. Even after talking about this, he still wanted to continue fighting for the production rights of the third season.

But in this parallel world, Wolf Warrior 2's box office seems to be even more outrageous, and the sensation it caused is even more exaggerated.

"really!"

Please note that the goal of Wanbao and CCTV is to bring the masterpiece "Journey to the West" to the TV screen, rather than to renovate this masterpiece.
