Most people may think it's just a classic fairy tale if we just talk about "Havoc in Heaven".

But if you add the prefix "animated movie" to "Havoc in Heaven", it will be different.

The pinnacle of Chinese animation!

An insurmountable milestone in the history of Asian animation, a great work with three times the number of original paintings as "Spirited Away".

People who have not experienced that era may have a hard time imagining how outrageous "Havoc in Heaven" was at the time. Even looking at it today, it is still an unparalleled masterpiece.

The total number of original paintings in the film exceeds 70,000!

What is this concept? Even today, this number is an unimaginable astronomical figure.

"Havoc in Heaven", which is composed of more than 70,000 hand-painted original paintings, has been distributed to more than 40 countries and has been hailed as an animation masterpiece by countless people. It has also introduced countless people to China's traditional art style.

Unfortunately……

Chinese animation flourished but declined. After experiencing that glorious era, it quickly went downhill.

There is no way to copy a work like "Havoc in Heaven".

Because it was the pinnacle of the special system at that time, where everyone worked together regardless of price, cost, or market.

Not to mention that it is difficult for American Film Studio to replicate such a miracle. Even an industry leader like Wanbao Animation cannot reproduce the glory of "Havoc in Heaven".

Because times have changed.

Where can you find such pure animators nowadays? Where can you still find such pure original intention of just doing good animation?

To this day.

"Havoc in Heaven" is still the pinnacle of Chinese movies and the childhood memories of countless people.

When American Film Studio officially announced that it would cooperate with Wanbao Animation to release a 3D remake of "Havoc in Heaven", I don't know how many people from the older generation paid attention to it.

The older generation may not pay attention to other animations and don't even bother to take a look.

But this is "Havoc in Heaven"!

The 3D remake of the "Havoc in Heaven" animated film has become a work that has attracted the attention of the whole country since the day it was officially announced, especially the older generation, who are looking forward to it.

"How about the 3D effect?"

Gu Miao has not seen the samples. He only knows that the remake went very smoothly. Wanbao Animation and Meiying Studio worked together to spend 18 months polishing this work.

"great!"

As a director, Ma Kui couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "The 3D remake of Havoc in Heaven has even better visual effects."

"Of course, it is not without its shortcomings. The shortcoming is that it loses a bit of the artistry of the hand-painted original and becomes more commercial."

"This is understandable."

Gu Miao was not surprised. Since it is called a remake, it must be different from the original version and cannot be exactly the same.

Becoming more commercial?

This does sound very regrettable, but we must also admit that in this day and age, making a remake must have some commercial elements.

Pure art no longer works.

In the small screening room of Wanbao Animation, Gu Miao finally saw the true appearance of this animation.

The plot is still the same.

Having said that, this plot is all derived from the original work of "Journey to the West", and there is little room for major changes.

The biggest highlight of the 3D remake is the reset 3D effects and the newly upgraded art style.

From this point of view, the remake does not feel disappointing.

At least in terms of 3D modeling and animation smoothness, the remake has done a good job. This should be one of the top 3D animated movies in the industry.

"Not only the main characters, but also the heavenly soldiers and generals among them, we also specially did motion capture..."

Ma Kui said distressedly: "The money spent on this movie, seriously speaking, is enough to make three or four animated movies of the same level."

Meiying Factory invested part of it.

Wanbao Animation contributed part of the money, Mr. Bear, Mr. Tan and other caring people contributed part... All the bits and pieces were added up, and the production budget for this movie was barely enough.

It can be said that if so many external forces had not been gathered, relying on the strength of one family alone, I am afraid that we would never be able to produce the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D".

"Okay, stop complaining."

"After all, this is a project that is making a big fuss in heaven, and the whole country is paying attention to it. It doesn't matter if you spend more money." Gu Miao comforted with a smile.

If the money is gone, you can make it again.

But if the reputation of "Havoc in Heaven" is ruined, then it is a huge sin, and no matter how much money is spent, it cannot make up for it.

"makes sense……"

After Mr. Gu's guidance, Ma Kui finally figured it out and no longer struggled with the issue of high production costs.

Anyway, the money was spent.

There's no point regretting it now. There's no way the movie is about to be released and we're still clamoring for divestment, right?

The good news is that "Havoc in Heaven" is very famous after all, and theaters are also very supportive. Audiences across the country are looking forward to the release of the remake, and the box office should not be low.

American Film Studio only wants the name, but they don't share the profits from the movie, so Gu Miao and Ma Kui agreed that as long as the movie is promoted properly, the probability of the movie losing money is very low.

Basically equal to zero!

…

The humorous series "Blue Cat's Naughty Three Thousand Questions" is still being broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel.

This animation has a strong popular science nature, so although the ratings are not high, it is extremely stable and has a group of relatively loyal fans.

On the other hand, "Wandering the Animated World 2" has gone through a long broadcast cycle and finally concluded successfully.

Taking over the schedule and status is the school idol animation "LoveLive!" introduced from the Neon branch.

Do not misunderstand!

"LoveLive!" will definitely not be on the TV platform. The so-called replacement schedule and popularity refer to the online platform only.

This school idol created by Seto is quite popular, I have to say.

Especially in Neon's hometown, the virtual idol group Muse is extremely popular. It is said that it has more than 14 million fans on the Internet.

This isn’t the end yet!

To measure the strength of an idol group, we don't just look at the number of fans, but also the sales of single ED and concert ticket sales.

In this regard, the Muse group is not far behind, and its popularity is no worse than those of popular female idol groups.

Not long ago, the Muse group held a grand concert in Kyoto. Not only was the venue full of people, but the live broadcast of the concert attracted more than 20 million people to watch.

So hot!

As a virtual idol group, Muse has achieved results that put many real idols to shame.

A bunch of girl idols sing and dance, but in the end they are not as popular as a few paper idols. What's going on?

Thanks to the rapid popularity of Muse in Neon, the animation "LoveLive!" has also achieved extremely impressive ratings, making it a truly hegemonic new show.

This animation, or more specifically the virtual idol group Muse, is not only very popular in Neon, but also has a good fan base abroad.

At least Gu Miao saw that several new singles by the Muse group had already ranked in the top ten of a certain domestic music platform.

Although not comparable to him.

Gu Miao personally sang the animated theme song of the same name for "Martin's Morning", and it is still in the top three of a music platform's hot listening list!

This is thanks to Mr. Tan’s ranking.

As a loyal fan of Gu Miao, Mr. Tan keeps his word and says he wants to help Gu Miao hit the charts, so he will help him hit the charts and use his platform to recommend and promote him like crazy.

This directly led to the completion of the animation "Martin's Morning" for a long time, but Gu Miao's debut single is still very popular, and there is an endless stream of people listening to the song.

"loss……"

Gu Miao regretted it very much.

If I had known that his song was so popular, I shouldn't have set it up to be free to listen to, but should have made it a digital album and sold each song for two or three yuan.

So many people come to listen to the music, even if each person only charges two or three yuan, it is not a small amount.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Although Gu Miao's songs can be listened to for free on music platforms, being free does not mean that he really has no income.

The theme song of the same name from "Mornings with Martin" has brought him at least 17 million in additional income, and it has become a huge hit.

At this moment, if Gu Miao goes out and calls himself a "well-known musician", no one would dare to criticize him.

After all, he really has masterpieces and is very popular. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a well-known Chinese singer.

However, Gu Miao has no interest in being a singer. Singing is just one of his few hobbies.

Animation is the foundation of life!
