Chapter 1090 Holy Land Tour

Life is full of surprises!

The Neon branch held a competition for essays on light novels, and the result was the novel version of "LoveLive!".

And Jiangchuan headquarters held a science fiction essay competition, and Gu Miao actually caught an electrician who was suspected of being a parallel world sibling of Da Liu...

What an unexpected surprise!

Gu Miao is still very familiar with Da Liu, a science fiction writer. After all, he has read most of Da Liu's works.

I just didn't expect that Liu in this time and space was still so immature, and the first work he officially submitted was actually "Chao Wen Dao".

Fortunately, Gu Miao has read this novel.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to recognize it right away, and he might regret missing it.

Of course, the reason why he can recognize this is Da Liu is also very simple. There are really no fans of Da Liu who don't recognize the name Ding Yi, right?

To be able to write a science fiction novel like "Chao Wen Dao", in which there is a scientist character named "Ding Yi", if these are not the same person, Gu Miao will eat shit on the spot.

"Da Liu just started writing?"

After learning about the author, Gu Miao was a little helpless. She thought that Liu had written at least several novels.

Who would have known that Liu in parallel time and space seems to have just awakened to the "fishing" characteristic, and "Chao Wen Dao" is also the first science fiction novel he wrote.

"Congratulations, you won the prize!"

Although the essay solicitation activity has not yet ended, Gu Miao is not afraid of others telling the truth. She took the initiative to contact Da Liu himself and invited him to come to Jiangchuan to meet him in the name of "awarding".

Awards are secondary…

The main reason is that he is very curious about the Lord and wants to meet this future science fiction master and talk about science fiction creation and the adaptation of future works.

This is impossible to miss.

Many of Liu's science fiction novels from Original Time and Space are actually very suitable for adaptation. Although Liu has been saying that the system is immature and it is not the best opportunity to adapt his works yet, he is talking about "live-action" adaptation!

Live-action adaptations do face many difficulties, especially movie adaptations. Even the director of "The Wandering Earth" said that it would be very difficult to adapt Liu's works, especially The Three-Body Problem.

But what Gu Miao is interested in is not a live-action adaptation, he just wants to adapt Da Liu's work into an animation...

The alienated three-body is his eternal pain.

With such a good Three-Body IP, even Da Liu himself feels that the animation adaptation will be simpler than the live-action adaptation, and the probability of success will be greater.

As a result... the animated version was killed by the live-action version in all directions. I was speechless!

As a big fan of Liu, in fact, when he learned that "The Three-Body Problem" was about to be adapted into an animated version, he had high expectations for this work.

Because everyone with eyesight knows it.

The live-action version of The Three-Body Problem is too difficult to adapt. The animation adaptation is definitely the most promising adaptation project under the current conditions, and the most likely to restore a magnificent science fiction world.

In the end, it turned out to be a piece of shit. This can only be said to be a problem with the production company, and cannot be blamed on the animation subject matter itself.

The direction is right!

Under the current technical conditions, the animated version has more advantages than the live-action version, there is no doubt about it.

You can say that The Alienated Three-Body Problem is poorly done and the TV series version of The Three-Body Problem is very well done, but you cannot deny the fact that the animated adaptation is simpler than the live-action adaptation.

More than just three bodies...

Many of Liu's works are actually very interesting to adapt into animated films, and the difficulty will be easier.

Gu Miao couldn't figure out why those film and television companies would focus all their energy on live-action adaptations and rarely consider animated films?

It can only be said that cartoons are still not popular in the eyes of many people.

Gu Miao wanted to correct these people's misconceptions and let them understand the truth, that is, as long as science fiction novels like Da Liu's are adapted properly, the animated versions will be equally amazing.

Gu Miao thought a lot.

He had even thought about where to invite Liu to eat when he arrived in Jiangchuan, how to draw cakes for him, and finally how to tactfully ask for an autograph and a photo...

But he never expected it.

The "Congratulations on winning the prize" message I sent was actually regarded as a scam email by someone, and I didn't even bother to reply.

After waiting for three days and getting no response, Gu Miao thought that Liu might be too busy and didn't notice the email he sent.

He wasn't in a hurry either.

Anyway, the essay competition is coming to an end soon, and the list of winners will be announced online, and each winner will be notified by phone.

It's just the difference between meeting a few days earlier and meeting a few days later.

…

December 20, Saturday.

Accompanied by Liang Xiaodong and Ma Kui, Gu Miao finally looked forward to the opportunity to "publicly visit" China Overseas Animation Film Studio and check in at the holy place.

He had long wanted to go.

It's a pity that he has never found a good opportunity because he is too busy with work and has a young child.

This time it was also because Wanbao Animation and American Film Studio collaborated on the 3D remake of "Havoc in Heaven" that he was able to find time to visit the Holy Land.

"welcome!"

The leaders of Meiying Studio welcomed Gu Miao's visit. Not only did they personally greet him, they also held up a large banner with Chinese characteristics of "red background and white letters".

The banner is very long and reads: Warmly welcome Chairman Gu Miao of Wanbao Group and his party to visit and study!

It’s right! It’s right!

Gu Miao hates this sense of ritual, because when he was a low-level worker in the past, every time he encountered this kind of inspection group, the company would assign a lot of tasks to them.

But this time it was his turn to be greeted in such a "ceremonial" way, and I have to say, it was indeed quite refreshing...

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Although he was very happy in his heart and had a sense of joy that he was being taken seriously, Gu Miaoming still had to pretend: "I'm just here to learn. There's no need to be so solemn."

"It's not solemn, not solemn at all. It's normal for distinguished guests to hang up a banner. Director Gu invites you here, and we talk as we walk..."

"Okay, okay!"

As the saying goes, guests do as they please. Gu Miao was a guest and could only obey the host's arrangements. Under the attention of ordinary employees of the nearby Meiying Factory, she walked inside with a smile on her face.

Study tours are a pretense!

Now that the talent pool in Meiying Factory is hollowed out, how can there be anything worth learning from Wanbao? If they were to come to Wanbao to learn from it, it would be almost the same!

But it must be said in this way, otherwise people will inevitably feel unhappy after hearing it.

After checking in at the Holy Land, Gu Miao, accompanied by the leaders of Meiying Factory, quickly visited the old site of Meiying Factory, the wall of honor and the past photo library, and took many photos.

I have to say, it's really disappointing.

Gu Miao originally thought that she would see some new things during this visit to the Holy Land of Meiying Studio, but it turned out that all of them were developments and changes from ancient times, which are also commonly known as "credit books".

What about the development of the new era?

These previous achievements are undeniably remarkable, but who doesn’t know these things? Can you show him something new that he has never seen before?

"Talent is really broken."

During the inspection, Gu Miao took the time to mutter to Ma Kui: "In the past ten years, except for the works such as "The Story of Afanti" and "Calabash Brothers" that we collaborated with, there have been almost no masterpieces."

"And have you noticed that almost all of them here are middle-aged and elderly people, and there are not many young people at all..."

"I noticed it!"

Ma Kui nodded and curled his lips and said: "The few young people are still in administrative positions who are not responsible for content creation."

Meiying Factory, alas!

The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became, and she finally realized what it means to be a hero at the end of his life.

The former hegemon of Asian animation and the light of domestic animation has now fallen into such a situation. I can only lament that things are unpredictable.

Sure enough, talent reserve and training are the most important part. If talents cannot keep up, no matter how powerful an animation company is, it will slowly decline or even disappear in the long river of history.

There may be many factors.

The decline of American Film Studio did not happen overnight. It has already begun to appear since the beginning of the 21st century.

There are many reasons, and there are various speculations from the outside world, but after an on-site visit and inspection, Gu Miao believes that the most serious problem is the lack of fresh blood.

There are too few young people!

They are all gray-haired old-timers. How long can these old-timers last? If the talent gap cannot be filled, decline will happen sooner or later.

After completing the visit process, the two parties held a short meeting to roughly communicate on some matters regarding the 3D remake of "Havoc in Heaven".

Ma Kui is mainly talking about this.

Regarding the 3D remake of "Havoc in Heaven", Gu Miao didn't know much about it and couldn't intervene, so she could only listen on the side.

However, he still put forward his opinions and suggestions for the next in-depth cooperation between the two companies.
