Chapter 540 Du Hao makes a comeback
Gu Miao has always had a heart problem.
That is, since the development of Wanbao Animation, it has not made much achievements in the field of animated films.
This is not his problem.
In fact, he has done a good enough job. With "Snake Comes Around", the whole country and even half of Asia have seen Wanbao's terrifying animation film production capabilities.
But then again.
Apart from him who can carry the banner, who else among the remaining people from Wanbao Animation can carry the banner of "animated movies"?
there is none left!
Hou Bin wanted to try it before, and happily made a big animated movie called "Dragon Fighter X-ray Envoy".
Everyone knows the result...
Hou Bin proved that he is not the material to make animated films. Besides him, others are even worse.
Huang Kun? Guo Hongwei?
It's not like Gu Miao has never thought about cultivating these two people to become qualified animated film producers.
But they are not interested in movies.
In other words, they don't have the guts to test theater screenings. After all, animated movies and TV animation are two completely different concepts.
Ma Kui does have an idea.
But Gu Miao knows his talent better than anyone. Letting him work on TV animation is already the limit. Let him work on animated movies?
Stop it!
If Ma Kui could make an animated movie, Gu Miao would cut off his head on the spot and use it as a chamber pot for him.
After all the talk, there is still no one.
If Wanbao Animation only wants to delve into the field of TV animation and does not want to get involved in animated movies, then forget it.
If you don’t do it, don’t do it!
Even if you don't make animated movies, you can still thrive with Wanbao Animation's solid TV animation foundation and amazing IP storage.
But Gu Miao was unwilling to accept it...
There are many classic animated movies in his mind, such as "Your Name", "Toy Story", "The Lion King", etc., all of which are extraordinary and super big IPs.
Not to mention, among Wanbao’s existing TV animations, there are also many works that can be turned into theatrical versions and big movies to make money.
I won’t talk about “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”.
"Sailor Moon", "Yu-Gi-Oh!" or even "Pokémon" and the currently-produced "Digimon", which one can't make a big theatrical movie?
A person's power is limited.
Just relying on Gu Miao himself, even if he is super energetic, he probably won't be able to make a few animated movies until his hair turns gray.
So I need help!
But looking at the whole Wanbao, who can take on this important task, become his right-hand man, and fight for him in the field of animated films?
…
"me!"
Du Hao, who came with his wife and children to pay New Year's greetings to Gu Miao's family on the first day of the Lunar New Year, said excitedly after learning about his good brother's troubles.
"As a good brother, how could you forget me? I, Du Hao, am a real film director, registered with the Film Association, and I have masterpieces!"
"you?!"
The corners of Gu Miao's mouth twitched, and her nose and eyebrows wrinkled as she looked at the excited Du Hao.
He really dared to say it!
You are still a serious film director. How did you get your identity as a film director? Don’t you have a clue?
"Just forget it."
Du Hao's masterpiece "Fall of the Stars" not only made the film critics look stupid, but also made Gu Miao realize the "movie" ability of this guy.
Just kidding!
Let this guy make movies, why not let Ma Kui come in? Anyway, he is just messing up and earning interest on losing streak, so why not make it more thorough?
"You look down on me?"
"When you recruited me, you promised me that you would give me a chance to make movies in the future."
Du Hao said with great dissatisfaction: "It's been almost three years now. You don't mean what you say, right?"
"I……"
Gu Miao choked.
This is indeed his fault. When he recruited Du Hao as a talent, he did promise to give him the opportunity to make movies in the future.
But he was just fooling around!
Du Hao's film talent has been fully demonstrated in "Starfall". Give him ten courages, and he wouldn't dare to let Du Hao make another movie.
Doesn't that mean you are seeking death?
"That's a live-action movie, a live-action movie! I've never tried an animated movie, how can you say I can't do it?" Du Hao retorted.
Animated movie?!
Gu Miao was startled when she heard this. She didn't expect that Du Hao was actually talking about an animated movie.
"Don't you want to make a live-action movie?"
"That was before..."
Du Hao said helplessly: "I have also reflected on it in the past few years and feel that I am too naive. Movies are not as simple as I thought."
"You don't trust me with live-action movies, and I know that. But why don't you let me try animated movies?"
Du Hao's eyes were more serious than ever before. He stared at Gu Miao and said in a deep voice: "I still want to make a movie. I want to get up again where I fell and make everyone look at me with admiration!"
Gu Miao: "..."
He didn't speak because he didn't know what to say.
Can you get up again where you have fallen, wash away the shame of the past, and impress everyone?
Listening to Du Hao's words, Gu Miao thought of how she had inadvertently opened a film review website out of curiosity and saw netizens' comments about the movie "Fall of the Stars".
To be honest, it's quite excessive.
I can't say that "Starfall" is a good movie, but it's not as bad as everyone says. As for the claim that Du Hao ruined domestic science fiction movies, it is even more nonsense.
The director spent his own money, sold his house, car and property, just to help revitalize domestic science fiction films...
Although it failed in the end, there is no need to ridicule others so much, right?
Du Hao is an idealist.
Gu Miao didn't agree with some of his actions, but she had to admit that such a person was indeed worthy of respect.
"I love your drive!"
After a moment of silence, Gu Miao smiled and said: "The last time you risked your career on a movie, you failed! This time, do you still have the courage to risk everything?"
"Of course."
Hearing this, Du Hao knew that it was done. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said with high spirits: "The future of domestic animated films will definitely be created by me!"
Time seems to have flown backwards.
Looking at the high-spirited Du Hao in front of him, Gu Miao seemed to see the Du Hao who sold his property three years ago and said in front of him that he would create the first year of domestic science fiction.
He really refuses to admit defeat!
Back then, Du Hao had the courage to sell his property to build a better future. Today, Gu Miaogui is the richest man in Jiangchuan and is worth tens of billions. Why not go crazy with him once?
Just tens of millions!
Although it hurts, to be honest, this loss is a drop in the bucket for Gu Miao today.
"I believe you once!"
Gu Miao took Du Hao's hand and shook it hard: "I'll leave the Year of the Horse movie to you!"
"Let's not talk about this first..."
The excited Du Hao came to his senses, rubbed his hands and said, "I am the first person to wish you New Year greetings. Why don't you send me a big red envelope?"
Gu Miao: "..."
Damn it! Give me back my emotion and passion!
Chapter completed!
