Chapter 199 The moonlight is so beautiful

"Quiba" is in an awkward situation.

The target audience of this movie is precisely the group of people who watch the least amount of movies.

The younger ones don’t understand and don’t like to watch this kind of animation. The older ones don’t have much interest in animated movies, let alone buy tickets to watch them.

So, I can't go up or down, I'm just stuck here.

The performance of the screenings fully proves this point. The quality of the movie itself is not bad, but for the current film market, this is definitely a "non-mainstream" work.

Of course, this is the "official" statement.

As the accomplice Erwuzi, Gu Miao knew one thing very well, that is, the roles he and Da Xiong always played during the screening of the "Quiba" movie were not honorable.

He can even be said to be a great villain!

The main reason is that Big Bear is always up to no good, suppressing a lot of the popularity and discussion that should belong to "Kuiba", making Little Bear's tens of millions of publicity all in vain.

"The screenings are like this. I can't even imagine how bad the box office will be at the official release..."

Ma Kui shuddered and said: "Mr. Gu, the film industry is too deep, isn't it? Tens of millions of dollars of investment can easily be lost at any time. Do we really want to make a theatrical version?"

Don't blame him for being afraid.

Mainly because of the miserable screening results of "Quiba". Who else doesn't feel panic after watching it?

That’s tens of millions!

Just talking about numbers, many people may have no idea about this amount of money. But if it were all converted into banknotes, it would add up to enough to fill a room.

As a result, the compensation was like this...

Although the movie has not yet been officially released and the final box office has not yet been released, based on the screening results, it is not difficult to predict the final box office.

It should be just over 10 million.

Excluding theater chain shares, distribution, film development funds, taxes, etc., it would be good to have three to four million in the money you have.

Thirty or forty million becomes three or four million?

Ma Kui calculated this account secretly, and his heart suddenly went cold.

Although he was not the one who lost money, nor was it Wanbao, witnessing the demise of an animated film with his own eyes still made him question Gu Miao's decision-making.

first half of this year.

In the company's management meeting, Gu Miao proposed to produce an animated theatrical version. Then he made a bet with Mr. Xiao Xiong of Feiyang Animation on who could become the first company to make an animated film with a box office of over 100 million.

Now, Feiyang Animation is about to collapse.

Will Wanbao Animation be the next one to fall? Will Mr. Gu be the next person to go up to the rooftop to blow off the wind?

"Danding!"

Gu Miao said calmly: "Animated movies are also divided into several categories and cannot be generalized. Even if something goes wrong with "Quiba", it will not affect our plans."

"But I still feel..."

"I don't want you to think it, I want me to think it! Just pay it, can't we afford tens of millions?"

Interrupting Ma Kui's Didigu, Gu Miao asked: "We'll talk about this later. First, tell me, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Found it!"

"According to the results of my investigation, Mr. Tan and his wife were classmates in junior high school, and they fell in love when they were in junior high school..."

Ma Kui said eloquently.

Mr. Tan is the unjust entrepreneur who invested 100 million to create an animation for his wife to commemorate their love.

Gu Miao is very interested in this business.

So he asked Ma Kui to collect information about Mr. Tan and his wife's hobbies and early experiences. This would also make it easier for him to "prescribe the right medicine" for them to get the order.

The results were astonishing.

This couple has actually been dating since junior high school, from school uniforms to wedding dresses. After so many years, their relationship has not deteriorated at all, which is simply enviable.

"Oh yes!"

After Ma Kui introduced Mr. Tan and his wife, he scratched his head and said, "During my investigation, Mr. Tan's junior high school classmates said that Mr. Tan's wife seemed to be an athlete even when she was studying."

"Who? Mrs. Tan?"

Gu Miao was shocked and said: "Are you sure she is Mr. Tan's wife, not Mr. Tan himself?"

"It's his wife, not him."

Ma Kui affirmed: "I was very surprised when I heard the news. I also found other people to confirm that Mr. Tan's wife is really an athlete."

"The female athlete who won the sprint gold medal in the Middle School Games was also on the provincial team roster. If she hadn't gotten married and had children later, she might have been on the Olympic roster."

What a great guy!

Gu Miao never expected that Mrs. Tan would have such a "splendid" past experience.

Then here comes the problem.

Mr. Tan dared to find such a girlfriend. He must have been a popular figure on campus at that time, right?

"Mr. Tan?"

Ma Kui suppressed a laugh and said, "No one would believe me. Mr. Tan is the art committee member of the class. Every time we organize an art performance, he will put on a show, singing and dancing."

It's okay, it's okay, I can accept it.

Compared with such a cheating wife, it is not difficult to accept that Mr. Tan has some talents.

But this experience...

It seems that it is not that simple to integrate it into a suitable animation work! After all, Mr. Tan and his wife’s request must be that the more “restorative” the better.

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought for a while.

The female protagonist is an athlete, the male protagonist is extremely talented, from school uniforms to wedding dresses...

It seems like I have a goal!

When he carefully thought about these keywords, he suddenly thought of an animation. Both the theme and the background seemed to meet the requirements of Mr. Tan and his wife.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

Neon's well-known animation director Kishi Seiji's original TV animation, "Moonlight Is Beautiful" is known as pure love and endless dog food.

Isn’t this a perfect fit?

Gu Miao, who became more and more excited as she thought about it, quickly ordered Ma Kui to call all the company's screenwriters to the conference room and give a brief summary of the story of "The Moon is Beautiful".

"This is an animation that tells the story of the young and pure love and growth experiences of adolescent boys and girls."

"The story takes place in Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School..."

The original work had a neon background, and Gu Miao needed to modify it so that it could meet the sponsor's requirements and avoid misunderstandings.

Through his narration, the Wanbao screenwriters had a general understanding of what kind of animation "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" is and what kind of story it tells.

Script planning begins.

Because it was a "team" collaboration, not a person working alone, Gu Miao only needed to grasp the general direction. So in just three days, the first version of the animated text script of "The Moon is Beautiful" was released.

When Gu Miao called Mr. Tan's phone and informed his personal secretary that the script had been sent to Mr. Tan's mailbox, there was no further news.

This wait lasted a full week.

Gu Miao didn't know whether Mr. Tan had ever read the script, let alone whether his adaptation of "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" would win Mr. Tan's favor.

Just when he was worried about the gains and losses for the "100 million" reward, and even forgot to post on Weibo to celebrate when the ratings of the animated "Happy Baby" exceeded 10, the phone rang.

"Way! Mr. Gu?"
Chapter completed!
