My Animation Era

  Chapter 102 Starfall 2 (Subscription required)

  Jiangchuan, Lao Chen's private restaurant.

  Gu Miao specially reserved a private room, ordered a large table of dishes, brought Ma Kui, Huang Kun and others, and warmly entertained Du Hao who "come from afar".

   "Yo! Are they all Jiangchuan dishes?"

  Looking at this big table of dishes, Du Hao's eyes lit up and said: "Mr. Gu, you understand me! I have been busy with movies a while ago, and I haven't been back to Jiangchuan for almost half a year. I have eaten authentic Jiangchuan dishes."

   "Then I must eat more today!"

  Gu Miao smiled, raised her glass and said, "Speaking of which, the last time we met, you invited me to dinner, so it's fair for me to invite you this time."

   Fair indeed!

  Du Hao was also amused by his words, clinked glasses and said, "But next time we meet, I won't treat you to dinner again!"

   "It's okay, I will invite you next time."

  Gu Miao waved her hand, seeing that Du Hao seemed to have stepped out of the shadow of "Stellar Fall", she asked curiously, "Is the box office settled yet?"

   "It's settled."

   Taking a sip of wine, Du Hao sighed: "Including other copyright benefits, the total return is about seven million."

  That's pretty miserable...

  Hearing what he said, Gu Miao immediately understood why Du Hao had been reluctant to take the initiative to talk about this matter some time ago.

   What a loss!

   Went bankrupt and invested 40 to 50 million yuan, but only got back 7 million yuan. In just a few months, nearly 80% of his net worth has shrunk, and anyone would feel distressed.

   "What are your plans for the future?"

  Gu Miao picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into her mouth and asked, "If you haven't decided yet, how about coming to my place to film a TV series?"

   "I'm here!"

   Made a joke, Du Hao immediately asked: "I remember you said before, you want to make a movie? An animated movie?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

   "Then do you think I can transform into an animation director and direct your company's animation films?" Du Hao looked at Gu Miao expectantly.

  Gu Miao: "..."

   Good guy!

   This is not giving up on the movie! Just hit the wall on a live-action movie, and then came up with the idea of ​​​​animated movie?

   "You can't."

  Gu Miao resolutely refused, and asked: "Do you understand animation? Do you understand the animation production process? Do you know the difference between key frames and intermediate frames?"

  Du Hao remained silent.

  Seeing that he was speechless by the question, Gu Miao added: "You don't understand anything, why talk about transformation and direct an animated film?"

  Being down-to-earth!

   From Gu Miao's point of view, Du Hao was completely confused, he couldn't even tell how much he had, and started talking in his sleep in broad daylight.

  Also transformation...

  You don’t even know how to use basic Photoshop, so how dare you talk about transformation? Would you like to match?

"you're right."

  After being severely scolded, Du Hao sighed and said, "But I still can't let go of the movie, I still want to make a movie."

   "That's easy!"

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes and bewitched, "Come to Wanbao to shoot a few TV series first, to accumulate experience and maintain the feel of filming."

   "When Wanbao develops in the future, I can give you a chance to invest in a live-action movie, how about "Stellar Fall 2"?"

   Stellarfall 2?

  Hearing this word, Du Hao's eyes lit up and he said, "Are you serious? Are you really willing to cast?"

"a man of his words!"

  Gu Miao patted her chest and promised: "I mean what I say, as long as you are willing to sign Wanbao, I will help you realize your wish."

   "OK, I'll join!"

   "With your words, I feel at ease. The live-action version of "Sailor Moon", right? Don't worry, it will be fine if you leave it to me!" Du Hao resolutely said.

   "That would be great!"

   Gu Miao raised her wine glass and said, "To celebrate the consensus we have reached, will we not return home drunk tonight?"

   "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

  …

   Said it was not drunk and would not return home, but Gu Miao cheated and played tricks. Not only did she bribe the waiter in advance, but also her accomplice Ma Kui played a cover.

  The wine he drank was just boiled water with a "smell of wine".

  So at the end of the drink, it was Du Hao who couldn't stand it first. Amidst the whispers of "Gu Shuishui is great", "Bacchus is alive", and "You will be my father from now on", he became so drunk that he passed out.

   "President Gu!"

   After poking the drunken Du Hao and making sure he was asleep, Ma Kui couldn't help asking: "You won't really invest in him, making some "Stellar Fall 2" movie?"

   "Shoot! Why not?"

  Gu Miao glanced at him curiously, and couldn't help explaining: "But I didn't say when to shoot this thing, maybe ten years later, or twenty years later?"

   Ma Kui: "..."

  Great love is a blank check?

  Ten or twenty years later, is Du Hao still useful? At that time, if you bring up the old matter again, will Mr. Gu still fulfill the agreement?

   Ma Kui, who was more and more frightened, looked at Du Hao sympathetically.

  Young man, you are too young!

  I couldn’t even see such an obvious "drawing cakes to satisfy my hunger". When I was a child, I specified that I didn’t study hard, and my brain couldn’t turn around.

   Now on the thief ship...

   Jokes are ridicules, Du Hao's signing of Wanbao, just based on a few words on the wine table, it's not enough.

   After sobering up, there is another conversation.

   It's just that Gu Miao doesn't need to participate in this conversation. Let Jiang Keke, who is in charge of personnel affairs, discuss salary with him, sign and pledge, and go through the entry procedures.

  He is only responsible for poaching people!

   As for what kind of treatment and benefits are given to people after they are dug out, that’s out of his control.

  By the way...

  When Du Hao decided to defect to Gu Miao as the director of the live-action version of "Sailor Moon", TBS, far away in Neon, also sent a 10-member working team to Jiangchuan.

   These 10 people are all elites!

  According to Gu Miao's preliminary understanding, there are not only professional costumers, make-up artists, and prop artists for special-shooting dramas, but also an "action director" and "stunt director".

   "TBS has rich experience."

  The professionalism of this team made Gu Miao sincerely sigh: "With such a team, it's no wonder they have the confidence to make live-action adaptations of animation."

   "Professional indeed."

  Knowing that the TBS support staff arrived in Jiangchuan, Du Hao, who came here specially to meet him, nodded and said, "But there is no leather case design here?"

   Holster? !

  Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it.

   It seems that there is really no such thing, but this thing does not seem to be important, right?

  The live-action version of Sailor Moon is not the kind of "Ultraman" or "Kamen Rider", where weird monsters and monsters walk around, and a special episode of a new leather case.

  The villains in the play are mostly characters who can make a guest appearance with a smoky makeup and a few "exotic costumes".

   Occasionally there are a few monsters, and most of them are "humanoid monsters". There is really no difficulty in designing the leather case.

   "No, there must be."

  Although it was the first time for Du Hao to direct this kind of TV series, he quickly got into the mood and could not be refuted: "As a special drama, how can you underestimate the design of the leather case?"

  How do you understand so well...
