Chapter 205 Sorry, I’m the Mole! (Please Subscribe)

It is difficult to describe the mood of many domestic animation producers, including Gu Miao, at this time.

on the one hand……

Everyone hopes that domestic animation will rise again after so many years of decline and trough, and that domestic animated films can also enter the "100 million yuan club" and see that the future is no longer dark.

But on the other hand.

Everyone knows very well that a box office of over 100 million is undoubtedly an insurmountable barrier for animated films, especially domestic animated films.

After passing this level, the world will be as bright as yours, and it can be said that "Kuiba" will leave a mark in the history of domestic animation.

Can't pass this level...

No matter how many people are looking forward to it, there is still no improvement in domestic animation and domestic animated movies, and the future is still shrouded in darkness.

This feeling is as if the LPL viewers in the S7 and S8 seasons are looking forward to the first S championship belonging to the LPL, but at the same time they are full of pessimism and believe that the LCK is invincible.

after all……

At this time, domestic live-action movies have already passed the "billion" threshold early.

Domestic live-action movies are all racing towards a box office of 2 billion or 3 billion to compete with Hollywood blockbusters. Domestic animated films, so far, have not even been able to produce a work with a box office of over 100 million.

It has to be said that although there is competition and slander and abuse among peers, at this time, everyone is very supportive of "Quiba" hitting the box office of 100 million yuan and breaking the dusty record.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Just like that year when everyone expected the two heroes of the Bird's Nest LPL to join forces, but they all fell to the top four, "Quiba", which had high hopes, only had a box office of only 2.08 million on the first day!

"Hahaha……"

The little bear was probably stimulated and his spirit was not normal.

Looking at the dazzling three-digit figures on the box office rankings, he smiled and asked Gu Miao: "Is it ironic? I still expected the box office to exceed 100 million, but now it's better, it's a bit difficult to exceed 10 million!"

"It's ironic indeed."

Gu Miao nodded, agreeing with Mr. Xiong's words on the surface, but kept muttering in his heart.

It shouldn’t be!

Although Mr. Big Bear played a dirty trick and deliberately suppressed the filming rate and popularity of "Kuiba: The Great Urgency", he did not dare to do it too obviously. After all, he was also afraid of being discovered by Mr. Little Bear.

According to his and Daxiong's estimates, although the box office on the first day will be somewhat affected, the overall box office should be around six to seven million.

With a total box office of 30 to 40 million, Little Bear is always at a loss and cannot afford to eat. This is their goal.

But what is the situation now?

The box office on the first day was 2.08 million. This is no longer a matter of losing money. Based on this data, Mr. Bear may end up having to sell his blood to beg for money.

"what is going on?"

Gu Miao frowned and asked, "Didn't you spend so much money on publicity and promotion? Why is it so unpopular? It shouldn't be!"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Mr. Xiao Xiong sneered: "Either no one is interested in "Kuiba" at all, or there is something wrong with the publicity and promotion process."

The former is unlikely.

After all, when the trailer of "Quiba" was released, everyone was obviously very positive. According to common sense, even if you feel disappointed after watching it, it is only after "watching it."

No one watched this, which shows that the problem is not "Quiba" itself.

Is that Xuanfa?

Little Bear and Gu Miao looked at each other and thought of a possibility.

"No, I have to investigate."

The first-day box office result of 2.08 million obviously stimulated Mr. Bear, who questioned the "publicity and distribution" link and decided to investigate it carefully.

Why didn't anyone buy a ticket?

The movie is not good to watch. That’s the conclusion I made after watching it. This is the premiere! With the huge publicity expenses that Mr. Bear has spent, he can fool hundreds of thousands of people into watching it in theaters, right?

Something is obviously wrong with this box office.

With the amount so low, there is only one possibility, and that is that many passerby movie fans have no idea what kind of movie "Quiba" is.

Fans who know and are interested in "Quiba" don't know that the movie is released.

Then here comes the problem!

Little Bear has spent more than 10 million and nearly 20 million on publicity and promotion for the movie "Qui Ba". How could this happen?

After some investigation...

The final result made Gu Miao scream outrageous. He never expected that the truth could be so simple?

Feiyang Animation has no distribution capabilities.

So at the beginning of its release, Little Bear always found a film distribution company to cooperate with. The two parties agreed that each would bear half of the film's distribution costs.

The problem lies in the distribution aspect...

Little Bear is always being scammed, and that movie distributor is a liar. Use the cheapest posters to lie about TV ads and Internet push ads.

"Kuiba" has been announced!

But this kind of publicity plan costs at most two to three million, or even less. When reviewing the film's promotion plan, the budget reached an astonishing 30 million.

Good guy, it’s a set within a set!

When Mr. Bear first went to question the other party, he didn't notice anything strange. It wasn't until Big Bear reminded him that he realized he had been cheated by the contract.

"Mr. Big Bear?"

Gu Miao grasped the key point.

"Yes! My dad!"

"He scolded me fiercely on the phone, saying that I was too naive and was sold for money. It was so embarrassing to have a son like me..."

After repeating his father's classic sayings, Little Bear always said with a sad face: "My dad also said that not only will I bring the company into this time, but I will also have to bear tens of millions of debts."

"He gave me a choice to go home and inherit the family business, and then he helped me settle the matter."

Hold the grass!

Gu Miao was completely stunned.

It doesn't matter if Xiao Xiong doesn't know the inside story, he is one of the insiders. Isn’t this publisher the mole sent by Mr. Big Bear?

Previously, the publisher’s representative even winked at him and exchanged his thoughts on being a “Two-Five-Year-Old”!

But why didn't he know about this?

What a great Mr. Xiong, he, Gu Miao, endured the humiliation and shouldered the burden of doing dirty work like a second- and fifth-year-old boy, but in the end he didn't even tell him such an important thing?

Damn it!

He only knew that the publisher was also a traitor, but he didn't know that Mr. Big Bear had such a killer move. Gu Miao, who felt that he was not taken seriously in the eyes of Mr. Big Bear, was extremely angry at this moment.

You look down on people, right?

As a mole, you don’t even have the basic “right to know”? Mr. Big Bear deliberately kept it from him. Could it be that he suspected that he had rebelled and defected to Mr. Little Bear?

In this case...

After the brainstorming, Gu Miao immediately decided that since Mr. Xiong was already suspicious of him and even kept such an important plan from him, he would simply confirm his identity as a "double agent".

Sorry, Mr. Big Bear!

Rather than being suspected and then backstabbing him as an abandoned son, Gu Miao felt that it would be better for him to backstab him first to maximize his profits.

"Mr. Xiong, I have something to tell you..."

Tips: The investment in the original "Kuiba" was about 30 million, but the box office was only a few million, and the loss was not much worse than that of "The Emperor"...
