The production of Quiba is coming to an end.

This is the news that Gu Miao heard from Ma Kui. According to him, Mr. Xiong of Feiyang Animation is currently busy contacting the publisher to discuss the release at the end of the year.

"Not so fast?"

Gu Miao picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth and muttered: "Post-production, submission for review and approval, publicity and distribution have not been completed yet. It's still early for release."

He is not in a hurry.

Anyway, Wanbao didn't invest any money, and the Kui Ba movie was released one day earlier and one day later, so there was no loss for him.

But he really wanted to know what the rough cut sample by Director Hou looked like? Did it reach 70% to 80% of the original work?

"Let me ask for you."

Ma Kui put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up his cell phone and dialed Feiyang Animation's number.

After some communication, Director Hou decided to hold a simple "pilot screening" within Feiyang Animation to show Mr. Xiong, Mr. Gu and the distributor the samples.

How could Gu Miao miss this kind of thing?

After being invited, he had a brief lunch, then got up and took Ma Kui to Feiyang Animation, where he met Director Hou, Mr. Xiong and others in a dimly lit screening room.

"let's start."

Everyone was busy and did not waste time on small talk. After randomly choosing a seat and sitting down, the director started the screening.

Because it’s a sample!

There is no synthesized audio track yet, so it looks like a "mime". And the rough cut version is not the same as the version that was finally submitted for review and released, so I can only take a rough look.

The sample film only lasted 32 minutes before it came to an abrupt end.

It's not that there is no follow-up, but everyone feels that seeing this is enough to understand the true quality of the movie "Qui Ba".

Continuing to read is nothing more than a waste of everyone's time.

Leave the screening room.

Feiyang Animation, Wanbao Animation, publisher representatives and sponsor representatives gathered in the conference room and held a closed-door discussion.

"Very average..."

Gu Miao was the first to speak: "To be honest, I didn't see what I wanted to see in the movie."

32 minutes of movie.

Gu Miao didn't dare to say that he was engrossed in it, at least he was watching it very seriously. But after watching it, he just wanted to say one thing: Fortunately, it's not a movie I invested in!

The story takes place in a world called Yuanyang Realm. There is a mysterious phenomenon in this world. Every 333 years, a terrifying abnormal life, namely "Kuiba", is born...

Gu Miao only watched the first 32 minutes.

In this half-hour film, in fact, the plot did not advance much, but it gave the audience a lot of common sense about the world of Quiba.

For example, there are two realms: heaven and earth. There are gods in the heaven realm, and people in the earth realm practice pulse art and open their vein gates to become monsters...

Sounds a little confusing, right?

In fact, fortunately, regarding the difference between the heaven and earth, the heaven can be regarded as "technology" and the earth as "martial arts".

Although abstract, it is understandable.

In 1664, Kuiba, the sixth generation of Kuiba, disguised himself as a stone to escape the attack. The child who walked out of the stone, was adopted by Man Xiaoman and named Manji, opened the door in a place called Wowo Township in the Kingdom of Beasts.

The prologue of the movie.

Director Hou is very ambitious...

Although he accepted the statement that Quiba had more than one work, he still wanted to tell the audience the huge worldview and complex background in one movie.

This leads to.

Gu Miao watched the sample film for half an hour and felt nothing but dizziness.

"If this is the case, it will be difficult to achieve very good box office results after it is released."

"Why?"

The conclusion given by Gu Miao aroused Mr. Xiong's curiosity. He didn't have many thoughts, he simply thought the movie was pretty good. Why did Gu Sanshui say that?

Isn’t this great!

Although there are some minor flaws, they are not as serious as Gu Miao said, right?

Before Gu Miao could explain, the publisher representative on the other side also spoke, also expressing his disapproval.

Of course, his angle is very strange.

In his words, this is a "niche carnival" movie, and the audience may be relatively small.

"you……"

When Gu Sanshui said NO alone, Xiong always felt that it didn't matter, but even the publisher said so, which undoubtedly poured cold water on him.

After a moment of silence, he asked: "I think it's pretty good! I've watched a lot of animated movies in the past two years, but I don't think many of them can compare with the quality of "Quiba"."

"That's right!"

Gu Miao sighed and said, "But sometimes, you don't get the rewards you deserve if you do well."

Pay ≠ reward!

In the film industry, this is an undisputed iron law. What you sow will reap what you sow, reap what you reap. This does not apply to movies, especially animated movies.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn.

Seeing that everyone looked a little serious, Ma Kui said bravely: "The movie hasn't been released yet... there's no need to be so nervous, right?"

"What if! I mean what if the audience's taste changes and they like "Qui Ba" so much that the box office takes off?"

"That makes sense!"

Mr. Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Before the movie is released, it is all nonsense to talk about it. Every year, there are many movies that are not favored by distributors and become box office hits.

"Quiba" might be the next one!

Regarding his mysterious confidence, Gu Miao shook her head in disbelief.

To be honest, "Quiba" tells a good story and is also a good animation. However, the 90-minute limit for a movie is too large. Maybe it would be more suitable to replace it with a TV animation with dozens of episodes.

However, he could only mutter a few words in his heart.

Get ready for the final judgment!

Gu Miao and Daxiong have been planning for so long, and haven't they been waiting for this moment? Gu Miao agreed with both hands and feet that the movie "Kuiba" was submitted for review and release.

The reason why he pointed out that the video was not working just now was just to incite Mr. Bear to spend more money on publicity and distribution.

Little Bear has always been fooled!

Neither Gu Miao nor the publisher representatives were optimistic about "Kuiba", which gave him a great sense of crisis.

In order to ensure that the movie would be released smoothly and the box office would not suffer too much, he decided to find another 10 million in bank financing to promote the movie "Quiba" and protect the box office.

"Another ten million..."

Gu Miao frowned and said, "Mr. Xiong, do you want to stop working hard? I think this little money is not enough!"

"I...I try my best."

Little Bear always looked a little embarrassed. His family knew about his family affairs. His father just barely broke off the father-son relationship with him, so how could he get money now?

I can only think of other ways.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Xiong, who had an ugly expression, Gu Miao raised an eyebrow at the publisher representative, and the two of them smiled tacitly.

"Cow wow!"

On the way back to the company, Gu Miao exclaimed: "I always thought Daxiong was only involved in real estate, but I didn't expect that he could also get involved in film distribution."

"Ah? Mr. Gu, you mean..."

Ma Kui widened his eyes and asked: "That publisher representative is also an insider sent by Mr. Big Bear... Oh, isn't it a friendly force?"

"He's not the only one!"

Looking at Mr. Gu's mysterious smile, Ma Kui swallowed hard and got goosebumps all over his body.

Turtle!
Chapter completed!
