Chapter 620 Inheriting the Champion
After the first two episodes of the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Castle" were aired, the dueling auto chess game also became popular across the country overnight.
Countless fans have come to Wanbao official Weibo to ask where can they play Duel Auto Chess?
Wanbao Animation has not responded yet.
Wanbao Games next door eagerly jumped out and said that "Duel Auto Chess" will be launched in the new version of "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Frontline", and everyone will be able to experience the original "Duel Auto Chess" by then.
As soon as the news came out, the downloads and player registrations of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Frontline" surged instantly.
"Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Frontline", which was originally experiencing a decline in popularity due to the completion of its animation and single-minded gameplay, has experienced a second spring?
This wave was truly unexpected.
Gu Miao guessed that Wanbao Games would not let go of such a promising gameplay as "Auto Chess" and would definitely make it into a game.
It's just that he didn't expect that Wanbao Games' gang would move so fast...
Before he took the initiative to remind me, these idiots were already preparing for a new version update and releasing a new auto chess mode.
Who would believe that there was no premeditation?
You can guess without even thinking that Huang Kun or someone from the animation production team must have leaked the gameplay rules to Wanbao Games several months in advance.
Otherwise, how can it be so fast to develop a new model and prepare a new version of the game?
This is not a leak.
The mutual help between our brother companies will be leaked if it is leaked in advance. As long as it is not leaked to outsiders, there will be no problem.
Compared with this, what Gu Miao is actually more concerned about is why the second season of "Pokémon" that was broadcast yesterday afternoon was not replayed?
Weird!
He came home too late yesterday and failed to catch the premiere of the second season of "Pokémon". He wanted to watch the rerun during the day, but he didn't know that the program schedule of Kuka Children's Channel was full.
He read through the entire program.
There is indeed no rebroadcast. Throughout the morning and even throughout the day, except for the live broadcast in the afternoon, Kuka Children's Channel has no rebroadcast arrangements.
"It's not their fault..."
As a director, Hou Bin took the initiative to defend his partners: "Kuka Children's Channel has been broadcasting so many animations recently that it can't find time to rebroadcast them."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
When Gu Miao heard this, she immediately became interested and said, "Where did they buy the animations from? We don't seem to have so many new works in our country, right?"
"Ahem!"
"It's not a new work, it's all old foreign animation copyrights that were acquired." Hou Bin coughed and explained, "A North American animation company went bankrupt, and its animation copyrights were sold off at a low price, and TV stations from all over the world took advantage."
I see.
After learning the truth of the matter, Gu Miao asked with a hint of curiosity: "With so many animation copyrights, this company must be very powerful, right?"
"Very powerful, very powerful!"
After saying "Awesome" twice in a row, Hou Bin gave a thumbs up and praised: "Although it is not well-known and looks like a small workshop in the eyes of ordinary people, this company is really great."
"The animation works they produced have won seven Oscars for Best Animated Short Film in the past thirty years."
"Some people say that if this company's animation production cycle is not relatively long, usually taking several years to sharpen its sword, then they will definitely win the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film every year..."
Seven Oscars?!
Gu Miao was shocked! This was the first time he knew that there was such a god-level animation production company in North America.
Now he finally understands.
Why did this company go bankrupt and everyone went to pick it up at a low price? It turns out that this company is really powerful.
But then again.
If you are so powerful, why did you end up going bankrupt? And with such a low reputation, it’s not normal no matter how you look at it, right?
"This has to start with their company's creative philosophy..."
Hou Bin shrugged and said: "If we are ordinary animators, then they can be called old artists."
"They produce animations with the attitude of creating works of art, and this concept also keeps many investors and ordinary audiences at arm's length."
no way!
When investors invest in you, they mainly want to make money. They start with artistic sentiments. Oscars cannot be your bread, so you have to consider more realistic issues.
Bankruptcy becomes reasonable.
In fact, Hou Bin was quite surprised that the company persisted for more than thirty years before declaring bankruptcy.
"This shows that there are still people who appreciate art, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to persist for thirty years."
Gu Miao touched her chin and analyzed: "Of course, the seven Oscars also have a small amount of credit. If you can't even win the award after so many years of hard work, it will probably go bankrupt long ago."
"That's the truth..."
Hou Bin did not deny it either.
Gu Miao's guess was indeed correct. For being able to persist for so many years, the other party did have a very high level of artistic attainments. This was also a fact recognized by the entire industry.
Unfortunately, it still fell.
Without external investment, the living environment for this kind of company would still be too harsh.
"It doesn't matter if the company collapses, as long as the people are still there and the core team is still there..."
"Ah this?!"
Hou Bin, who was quite regretful at first, was dumbfounded when he heard Mr. Gu's words.
"You want to poach people?"
"That's right!"
Faced with Hou Bin's tentative inquiry, Gu Miao nodded without thinking: "Why don't you hire such an excellent animation production team that has won Oscars and won an Oscar?"
strength?
Seven Oscar statuettes have fully proved the strength of the opposing team.
As long as the price is right, why can't Wanbao Animation hire this kind of team to improve their artistic attainments?
When people questioned Wanbao and were asked, "What kind of championship do you have? What kind of trophy do you have?", Gu Miao directly replied: I will inherit the championship! Inherit the trophy!
Who says Oscar can't inherit?
I went back and bought the core team and directly shouted that we are the champions, we are the seven-time Oscar winner!
All right……
This is a pure joke!
Gu Miao has no interest in inheriting the seven Oscar statuettes. After all, it is someone else's honor, and he has no shame in announcing that he will inherit the championship.
What he was thinking was that since this team is known as Oscar professionals and has such high artistic attainments...
So, can this team meet the prerequisites for the production of "Tom and Jerry" and help Wanbao Animation win an Oscar?
He is not greedy, one is enough.
After all, honor is something that I didn’t have time to think about when I was hungry and had no money. Now that I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, of course I want to be in the limelight and show off!
It’s just about raising a team.
To be honest, given the current scale of Wanbao Animation, it can completely afford it. This is the same as the positioning of Puppet Studio, which only strives for prizes and does not expect to make money.
"But……"
Hou Bin hesitated and said: "People who come from this kind of team will not be short of work, right? Are they really willing to go to a foreign country and come to Jiangchuan to work and live?"
this is a big problem.
They are a North American team and they are very capable. Finding a job is not difficult for them at all.
Even if Wanbao offers a high salary, there may not be anyone willing to work in a foreign country...
After all, someone else is an artist!
If you were really passionate about money, you wouldn't get together to do art. To put it bluntly, poaching people by throwing money at them has a very low success rate in Hou Bin's opinion.
"What you said makes sense."
"But who told you that I plan to spend money to recruit people and recruit them to work at the Jiangchuan headquarters?" Gu Miao asked in return.
Hou Bin: "???"
If you don’t come to Jiangchuan, where else can you go?
Going to work in the Neon branch seems to be similar to the Jiangchuan headquarters. For these North American foreigners, China and Neon are very far away.
"Can't I build a branch in North America and let them work in a familiar environment?"
Gu Miao said firmly: "I don't believe that they can remain indifferent to this sincerity in front of them."
Move it with emotion, understand it with reason.
Not only can Gu Miao promise to manage enough funds, but he will not suppress their artistic talents, and is more willing to establish a branch in North America. This condition should be considered the best choice.
There is no reason not to choose Wanbao.
Chapter completed!
