Chapter 378: Rivals During the Lunar New Year (Please Subscribe)

It's December.

With the participation of a number of outsourcing teams such as Konjac Animation, the post-production progress of the movie "Snake Comes Around" is progressing gratifyingly.

Based on this premise, Gu Miao met with distributor representatives and theater representatives in advance to discuss preparations for the film's premiere.

During the communication, Gu Miao learned a fact that shocked him.

Publishers are a little better.

Mainly the theater companies are not optimistic about the box office prospects of "Snake Comes Around". They even felt that this movie...

It's not as good as "Kuiba"!

"Mr. Gu, I am not deliberately belittling your work, nor am I deliberately finding fault with you."

The theater representative said in embarrassment: "The fact is that the completion quality of your movie is not as good as "Kuiba: The Ten Thousand Urgent"."

"It's a pity that you can even complete "Quiba" with such high quality. We really have no confidence in you!"

Although it sounds ugly, it is true.

The theater's view is very simple. They don't understand artistic aesthetics or animation style. They only know...

To the naked eye, the production cost of Gu Miao's movie is not as good as "Quiba", and the visual expression is not as good as "Quiba".

Here comes the problem.

The quality of "Quiba" is so high and the visual expression is amazing, but the box office turned out to be a mess. So, does a movie with worse quality than "Quiba" deserve a high screening rate?

"You can't say that."

Gu Miao patiently explained: "'Snake Comes' and 'Kuiba' are two styles of work, just like horror movies and romance movies. You can't compare them like this."

In terms of production costs, the precision of painting, the completion of scripts, the completeness of stories, and the expressiveness of pictures...

Pleasant Goat is not as good as "Kuiba".

But the two are not on the same track, so this comparison is unfair. The audience for the Pleasant Goat movie may not necessarily overlap with the audience for "Quiba".

Therefore, Gu Miao refused to accept it.

He feels that the Pleasant Goat movie deserves a higher film schedule. You can't judge this movie as bad just because of this "ridiculous" reason!

Isn't this a joke?

Gu Miao had a heated debate with the theaters surrounding the controversy over whether Pleasant Goat Movie was the next "Kuiba" movie.

As for the outcome of the debate...

All I can say is that no one convinced anyone.

The theater companies have their own considerations, and they cannot give up on a movie that obviously has more potential just because of Gu Miao's words.

After all, when it comes down to it…

No matter how famous Gu Miao is, it is only in the animation industry. In the field of film, he is just a fledgling "new director".

Newcomers shouldn't even think about "trampling" the rules.

Unless Gu Miao has already achieved success and proven his box office appeal with his works, it is unlikely that theaters will give him a high film schedule right from the start.

"That's it."

After returning home, Jiang Keke, who learned the result of the negotiation, consoled him: "As a newcomer in the film industry, if you don't reach an agreement, you won't reach an agreement. Why are you angry?"

"No, you don't understand!"

"Obviously Daxiong always promised me that he would help me get film schedules, but..."

Gu Miao spread her hands and said speechlessly: "You have also seen that the theater chain is completely uncooperative. Can I not be angry?"

"Actually, I know the reason."

Jiang Keke took out his mobile phone from his pocket, fiddled with it for a while and handed it to Gu Miao: "Looking at this, can you understand the theater company?"

"Best Actor Peng Ze..."

"The new movie of Xiaogangpao is scheduled to be released..."

"Are all the heroes competing for the Lunar New Year this year?"

After reading the content of this news report, Gu Miao suddenly understood.

It turned out to be a new film by actor Peng Ze, a new film by well-known director Xiaogangpao, and another imported film from overseas, all released during the Lunar New Year period.

No wonder the theater company has such a firm attitude and refuses to guarantee Gu Miao's film arrangement no matter what. It turns out that's the case!

"Gan!"

Gu Miao put down her mobile phone and frowned: "This year's Lunar New Year holiday, the competition is so fierce? There are so many hard problems?"

"yes!"

Jiang Keke sat on the other side of the sofa and said, "Everyone says that this year's Lunar New Year will be a fight between gods and gods!"

It's not like gods fighting.

Gu Miao shook her head. She didn't think these movies were "fairies", but at best they were "Nascent Soul Monsters".

But even so, more than three masterpieces were released on the same schedule, which was something that did not happen during the Lunar New Year period in previous years.

All I can say is, it's so unlucky.

The first step was poached, and the film production almost came to a halt. After the second step was confirmed, it encountered such cruel competition in film scheduling.

Gu Miao had the urge to scold her mother.

But then he thought about it, when the original Pleasant Goat movie "The Power of a Tiger" was released, it seemed that it had a head-on collision with a terrestrial god like "Avatar"?

In comparison, he only met such a few people, so he was already very lucky.

no way!

The schedule has already been set, and it is definitely too late to change it now. Gu Miao can only comfort herself with the example of "Tiger and Tiger Might".

Don't panic, don't panic, the advantage is mine!

When Cameron came with "Avatar", wasn't the scene much bigger than it is now? At that time, "The Mighty Tiger" also grossed hundreds of millions at the box office and dominated the box office!

Whether the schedule is good or not depends not only on competitors, but also on time...

That's right!

During the Spring Festival, it is a time of "family reunion". A large family, old and young, all gathered together.

At this moment, movies like Pleasant Goat Movie that focus on "celebration and comedy" are much more competitive than other movies.

…

While Gu Miao was staying at home, worrying about her opponents during the Lunar New Year, Du Hao welcomed his first child in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Jiangchuan Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

"congratulations!"

When Gu Miao received the news, she almost thought she had heard wrong. She gave birth so soon?

After some calculations, I found that there was no problem, because Du Hao was a typical case of "getting on the bus first and paying for the ticket later".

Where is the referee?

If someone rushes away, blow the whistle!

After learning that Du Hao's wife had given birth to a daughter, Gu Miao felt sour that she didn't even want to receive the red envelope sent out in the company group.

He is envious!

No, I can’t watch it! If he stayed in the group and watched Du Hao show off, his heart might not be able to bear it.

After quitting the group chat, Gu Miao decided to change his mood. As soon as he clicked on his circle of friends, the refreshed content on the homepage instantly stunned him.

Mr. Bear: "Welcome, my baby! From today on, learn to be a good father! Come on! [Picture]"

real or fake?

Seeing the "inspection report" posted by Mr. Xiong, Gu Miao subconsciously rubbed her eyes and then zoomed in to read it again.

result……

It's actually true!

Just today, Du Hao's wife gave birth, and Mr. Xiao Xiong's wife in the same hospital also found out that she was two weeks pregnant.

Fake squid!

Did the two of them make an appointment to announce the news on the same day, deliberately irritating him and trying to make him explode?

I have to go out for something during the day, so I updated it in advance.
