What Ma Kui said makes sense.

Are food animations considered unpopular? The answer is yes! No matter which country it is in, as long as it is a food animation, it can be said to be unpopular.

Neon?

It is undeniable that Neon has indeed produced a lot of animations focusing on "food and cooking", and there are also many excellent works.

But compared to popular themes such as "Another World", "Campus Love" and "Fantasy Adventure", isn't the gourmet series considered unpopular?

certainly!

In essence, "The Little Master of China" is actually not a particularly pure "food show". Putting aside the "luminous cuisine" aspect, the core is actually a classic "hot-blooded" Japanese comic series.

It's just that it's covered in a layer of "cooking and gourmet food".

Still the same problem...

Regardless of whether this animation is essentially a "hot-blooded show" or a "gourmet show," the upper limit of the subject matter is set here. Will anyone really be interested and will it produce results?

Maguire was skeptical.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Mr. Gu's vision, but he feels that he is not good at "gourmet food". Even if he reaches the top level, his results will be just like that.

Can it still achieve the level of "breaking the circle" of "Sailor Moon"?

"Why not?"

Gu Miao asked rhetorically: "I admit that the food show is not popular, but you said that the upper limit of this subject is low, I think it is wrong."

Is the upper limit for food themes low?

Where did this fallacy come from? The food theme is indeed unpopular, but the upper limit has always been very high, right?

Take documentaries as an example.

"A Bite of China" became popular all over the country and successfully achieved the "breaking circle" effect, proving that the upper limit of food documentaries can also be very high.

Take online writing as an example.

The movie "Gourmet Supplier" was also popular all over the Internet. Although it did not "break the circle", it also set off a frenzy of following the trend of "food themes" that year.

Take variety shows as an example.

Aren't the ratings of "Chinese Restaurant" and "Longing for Life", food variety shows that are more relaxed and more everyday, quite high?

Let’s go back to the animation field…

Although food-themed animations and comics are very popular and rare, the upper limit is not low!

For example, "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater", "The Little Master of China", "The Prisoner of Food" and "The Magic Chef Xiaofugui", etc., aren't they enough to prove the upper limit?

"Don't be embarrassed!"

"I know you want to say that food themes are not popular and less people watch them..."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "But have you ever considered the possibility that there are actually a lot of foodies in this world?"

"People don't watch it because the past food shows failed to impress them. But if you can impress these foodies, do you think it will be difficult to achieve results?"

Well!

Ma Kui was stunned by what he said.

This seems to be the reason. We are all foodies. The reason why we are not interested in gourmet food is because the pictures are too bad and cannot arouse our appetite.

If the photos are really beautiful and the food is depicted in a mouth-watering way, it will indeed be easy to get results!

"but……"

Seeing that Ma Kui had been convinced by him, Gu Miao smiled bitterly and said: "You just said that it is difficult to make peripheral derivatives of gourmet shows. This is an indisputable fact."

Fatal flaw!

Everything about gourmet food is good, but it is difficult to make peripheral derivatives.

Unless there is a beautiful and cute heroine who speaks softly and cooks deliciously, and can charm thousands of perverts, I am afraid that even the "figures" will not be sold.

And "The Little Master of China"?!

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it. Except for Zhou Meili, the heroine, who could barely be called "pleasing to the eyes and beautiful", the other characters seemed to be a bit "abstract".

It’s hard to clam!

I'm afraid there's no hope of making a lot of money selling figures. The male protagonist Liu Pleiades, also known as the little boss, is certainly handsome, but...

"Do you want to buy his figure?"

"Not buying!"

"Why don't you buy it? Isn't my little boss handsome enough? Or do you like another sexy bitch?"

"If he opens a cooking training class, or opens a restaurant, then I will definitely take care of the business. As for the figures... who will buy his figures if he is serious?"

You don’t need to think about it to know that a bunch of foodies are only interested in luminous dishes. Chef Liu Pleiades? Who of the serious people is interested in chefs?

Gu Miao is almost autistic.

Although it is possible to make money without relying on peripheral derivatives, after all, the quality of "The Little Master of China" is here, how could it make him lose money?

But he believes in one truth:

Less profit = loss!

You can obviously make a lot of money, but if you can't make it, isn't it a loss?

If a popular animation work like "The Little Master of China" does not produce some peripheral derivatives to make money, he will not be able to sleep at night.

However, there really aren’t many peripherals available!

You can't make a [Glowing Egg Fried Rice] figure and perform a magic trick that "you can only see but not eat", right?

That’s really a bit abstract!

After driving away Ma Kui, who was just drinking tea and almost didn't finish all the tea leaves for him, Gu Miao stayed in the office and thought about it all afternoon.

Finally, when he was about to get off work, he finally thought of it.

Why can’t I sell recipes?

"Little Master recommends! Ten dishes that novice chefs must learn to get started", "Yangquan Restaurant's Specialty Dishes", "Liu Pleiades teaches you how to cook step by step", "Yangquan Restaurant is all about me! - The youngest special chef in history

》……

It sounds very attractive!

The teaching aid book market is so hot right now, so there’s no reason why recipes that teach cooking skills can’t be sold? What’s more, these are the recipes of the little master!

Take a bigger step.

Now that we have the recipes, do we also need to complete a set of "Little Master Certified" gold medal kitchenware?

As the saying goes, it doesn’t matter if you are poor at cooking, but you must not be poor at cooking utensils!

Even if you finally make a plate of dark food, it will be dark food made with gold medal kitchenware, and the value will be completely different.

Just as Gu Miao was thinking about how to trick him into cooperating with her to create a "Little Chef Cookbook" after the state banquet-level cooking instructor was in place, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

"Mr. Gu, there are guests coming to visit you."

The girl at the front desk came in and reported: "He claims to be your junior high school classmate, his surname is Li. Do you want to meet him?"

Your surname is Li, a junior high school classmate?

Gu Miao was immediately puzzled. Among his junior high school classmates, there seemed to be quite a few people named Li. Who was this?

And out of nowhere, a junior high school classmate came to visit, which didn’t seem to be good news! Could it be that he learned that he had made a fortune and came here to lend him money?

That's really annoying!

It's no wonder that Gu Miao thinks so badly of people, mainly because he has long since graduated and lost contact with his former classmates.

No contact for so many years...

He suddenly came to visit him just after he was on the rich list. It is impossible to say that he is not thinking wildly.

But that’s it!

People came to visit them. As an old classmate, Gu Miao always had to go out and meet them, whether it was to borrow money or not.
Chapter completed!
