Chapter 695 A Stepping Stone to Enter Europe and the United States (Happy Lantern Festival)

Putting aside all kinds of stereotypes, the story of the movie "Sheep Eyebrows Breathing" is actually quite family-friendly and has a great sense of atmosphere.

It’s just 3D production…

It's not that Gu Miao doesn't trust Ma Kui, he just simply doubts whether the money spent will achieve the desired results?

All right!

He still thinks that it would be better for Ma Kui to hand over the 3D production part of "Sheep Eyebrows" to Dimension Studio.

For this reason, he was even willing to delay the production plan of "Bear Bears" to make way for the movie "The Breath of the Eye".

"That's too late."

He said he was considering it, but Ma Kui's idea was very firm, that is, unless Dimension Studio stopped the production of the "Super Beast Arms" project, it would not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival schedule.

This topic ends here.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gu Miao couldn't say anything else. After all, the "Spring Festival" is still a very important time for the movie "The Breath of the Sheep".

"Okay, you make up your own mind."

"By the way, don't you have the best relationship with Du Hao? Then do you know what he has been busy with recently?"

Gu Miao, who hadn't seen anyone else for several days, said in confusion: "I found out that this guy's whereabouts were quite suspicious after he came back from Hollywood!"

"He..."

"He has a heated relationship with Haitian Film and Television. It's normal not to return to the company. After all, he has nothing to do when he comes back." Ma Kui said with a smile.

This is indeed the truth.

Du Hao basically plays a marginal role within Wanbao Animation, or the entire Wanbao Group, and few projects fall on him.

So whether he comes to the company or not, it makes no difference to others.

Gu Miao could understand this situation, but he couldn't accept Du Hao's cuckolding behavior when he had a heated relationship with Haitian Film and Television.

It must be dissuaded.

After being married to Wanbao, she still hangs out with other men all day long, and the relationship is unclear. What husband can bear this?

Gu Miao was very angry.

After sending Ma Kui and Huang Kun away and returning to his office, he immediately dialed Du Hao's phone and called him back.

"What do you want from me?"

"You have the nerve to ask? Do you know what etiquette, justice and integrity are?"

Gu Miao came up and scolded: "Are you from Wanbao, or are you an undercover agent sent by Wanbao from Haitian? Are you going to do voluntary labor for others all day long with my salary?"

"Mr. Gu, don't be embarrassed!"

"How can I call it voluntary labor? I am obviously studying abroad for further study and going to a friend's business to visit the filming site."

Du Hao yelled at Qu: "Haitian provides me with free lunch and dinner, and sometimes even invites me to have dinner and drinks with him. Isn't this to break into the enemy and corrupt him?"

A lot of fallacies!

Gu Miao, who was too lazy to talk to this guy, rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. You can't stay in the company, aren't you just too busy?"

"I'll find something for you to do..."

After saying this, Gu Miao picked up a thick document from the table, handed it to Du Hao and said, "How about your favorite movie project? Are you confident that you can make it?"

"The Lion King?"

Du Hao took the plan and asked confusedly: "Why did you choose this name? Is there only a story outline?"

"Names don't matter."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "Have you ever seen the play Hamlet? Shakespeare's classic tragedy."

"Seen……"

"That's fine. You can simply understand the background of the story as the Prince's Revenge of Hamlet, which is presented using cartoon animal personifications." Gu Miao explained.

"Prince's Revenge?"

Du Hao's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but complain: "This story template is too... too old-fashioned! Will anyone really like this kind of fairy tale style from the last century?"

Please!

This is the 21st century, can there be some innovative and bold themes? Could it be that he has traveled back to the last century and still wants to write about the Prince's Revenge?

"Is it corny?"

Gu Miao smiled and said indifferently to this complaint: "I admit that Prince's Revenge is indeed a bit cliché, but have you ever thought that the reason why classics are classics is precisely because this kind of plot never gets tired of?"

for example.

Is the plot of "Heroes save beauties, beauties fall in love with them" a cliche? Very rustic!

But it is precisely such an earthy story that many online novels, animations, comics and even movies still use and pay tribute to it today.

Why do some people like to watch it? Even though you know it’s very earthy, you still watch it with relish every time?

"Don't use your own preferences to speculate on the public's preferences."

Gu Miao said earnestly: "I think that everyone is drunk and I am sober, but in fact, in the eyes of everyone, you are just a fool!"

The audience likes it, who are you?

Du Hao made one of the most classic mistakes, which is to be self-centered and take himself too seriously.

That's right!

Hamlet's "Prince's Revenge" story plot, looking at it now, is indeed very corny and cliché.

But if you don’t like it alone, does it mean that all the viewers don’t like it?

This may not be very popular in China, but in Western countries, many people still like this kind of "prince's revenge" story, right?

"The west?"

Du Hao keenly grasped the key point, frowned and flipped through the project in his hand, until he discovered that the protagonist in the play was actually called "Simba", and he instantly understood.

This is a "non-Wanbao traditional" animated film that focuses on the European and American markets and is even full of European and American cartoon elements!

"Do you want to enter the European and American markets?"

"Yes!"

Gu Miao did not hide her thoughts and nodded decisively and admitted: "Wanbao's influence in East Asia, or the entire Asian region, is already large enough."

"But in Western countries, the influence of animations produced by Wanbao is generally one to two levels lower, and occasionally one or two works can become a small hit."

Gu Miao was very dissatisfied with it.

He believes that if Wanbao wants to become an animation giant with "world-class" influence and its works covering the global market, it cannot ignore the Western market.

That's exactly what "The Lion King" was made for.

It may not be the most suitable work, but it must be the most suitable stepping stone to "pry open" the door to the European and American markets.

Don't ask why.

The question is the revenge of the prince in "Hamlet", coupled with the values ​​conveyed by the entire animation of The Lion King, they are definitely in line with the universal Western perception.

certainly!

The main reason why I chose animated movies instead of TV animation as a stepping stone is because Wanbao has people in Hollywood.

I can’t say there are people...

Because of their previous cooperation on the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie project, Wanbao has established a connection with Hollywood giants.

With this relationship, they can definitely be involved in movie projects, and the global distribution of the movie will be handled by Hollywood giants.

This is so robust!
