My Animation Era
Chapter 1110: Ciyuan Lake Scenic Area
Before starting the filming of the live-action "Superman" movie, Gu Miao was most worried about the casting issue.
without any exaggeration.
As long as the actors are well chosen and meet fans’ expectations for a live-action version of Superman, the movie will be about half of the success.
But on the other hand, if the actor is not chosen well and the actor does not meet the fans' expectations for Superman, then no matter how good the movie is, it may not escape a dismal ending.
The actor chosen by Du Hao, in terms of appearance alone, looks quite similar to a young version of Christopher.
Based on this alone, he can conclude that the movie is not bad, at least the lower limit can be maintained!
The media conference held this time is, on the one hand, to inform the filming progress of the movie "Superman" and to communicate with all media in advance.
On the other hand, Du Hao also took this opportunity to bring out the male and female protagonists in advance, allowing movie fans to take a look at the final version of the Superman character in advance.
The effect must be excellent.
When the actor who looked like Christopher put on the same suit as Superman and showed his extremely determined eyes, all the media reporters present exclaimed.
“Oh my god, it’s so similar!”
“He is the Superman in my mind!”
It is actually an exaggeration to marvel that a real person looks like an anime character.
This is just like in reality, people often say that someone has an “anime face”.
Mainly because the temperament matches!
When the actor’s temperament and image perfectly match the anime character, it feels like a two-dimensional paper man coming to life.
Superman is now alive, and not only the character has come to life, but the movie has also become popular!
With the release of the final makeup photos and movie posters, everyone is immediately full of expectations for this live-action "Superman" movie. This sense of anticipation is even stronger than that of "Dr. Night".
“Fake, **** Wanbao!”
When old George saw the overwhelming press release of the "Superman" movie, he was shaking with anger.
This is not good news!
Wanbao Pictures didn’t make an official announcement early or later, but they released their “Superman” movie after the official announcement of “Dr. Night.”
Anyone who is not blind can see that this is deliberately targeted!
Old George has a reason for being angry. He has suffered a huge loss in public opinion because he did not give money to these media.
“A group of villains who adapt to the changing circumstances!”
After complaining about the snobbish media who are interested in making money, George then told his secretary: "Go and make arrangements. We also need to have media exposure and reports."
Wanbao has already taken action.
Whether he likes it or not, as the other party being provoked, Mardete must also show some attitude.
Otherwise everyone would pay attention to the "Superman" movie, who would pay attention to "Doctor Night", which was released at the same time?
It’s just that for this movie, Mardete Company spent nearly 300 million US dollars.
So much money was lost during the production stage, which was comparable to the big ships of the year. During the promotion stage, they really couldn’t spend any money to build momentum.
Old George was helpless.
If he were as rich as Wanbao, he would definitely bribe the media and conduct bombing reports to build momentum before the movie is released.
But he was short of money, and that was the problem. "Doctor Night" was destined to lose out to "Superman" in terms of promotion.
But it’s not a big problem.
Although the promotion is not on the same scale as "Superman", it can still rely on spontaneous publicity from the audience level after word of mouth and box office gain momentum.
The theaters are very optimistic about the film "Dr. Night" and have promised a very high filming rate guarantee. With this foundation, it is okay to give "Superman" some limelight in the early stage.
Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future!
Gu Miao actually guessed what old George was thinking.
He also knew that old man George couldn't afford the money right now, so it was inevitable that he would lose his hair and stretch his hips, and he was all hoping to make a comeback after the movie was released.
So if he wants to give the opponent a fatal blow, he must win over the theaters, preferably by taking away the performances and screens that should belong to "Doctor Night".
“How to rob?”
Du Hao was a little puzzled: "Dr. Night is a blockbuster with an investment of nearly 300 million US dollars. As long as these theaters are not blind, they will pay great attention to it."
“Yes! The investment is huge…”
Gu Miao sighed and said: "But what's the use? For a film with huge investment, will the theater chain's commission be higher?"
It’s not the same ratio!
It can only be said that blockbusters like this are more popular than other movies and can ensure that they earn enough money. This is the reason why theaters support blockbusters.
But if, for the same price, the profit from selling one "Superman" movie ticket is equivalent to two "Doctor Night" movies, how will the cinema chain choose?
“No…isn’t it?”
Du Hao was shocked and said: "If we play like this, doesn't it mean that we are giving our deserved profits to the theaters?"
“It doesn’t matter!”
“The Superman movie can make less money, or even lose a little bit. The important thing is that Dr. Night cannot live, he must die.”
Gu Miao said mercilessly: "It's worth it no matter how you look at it, in exchange for a Superman movie to break Mardete's capital chain."
“Too cruel.”
Du Hao curled his lips and said, "I suddenly sympathize with old man George. He probably hates you to death after you did this to him."
“Hate it as much as you want, who can make me stronger and have a thicker wallet?”
Gu Miao looked indifferent.
I didn’t realize it at home, but once I came to a place like North America where capital is paramount, I realized that you can really do whatever you want if you have money.
He is an outsider. It is true that old George is a local snake, but he is really too rich.
With money like Gu Miao, he has no shortage of ways to manage a small Mardete company. As long as he is willing to spend money, there will be plenty of people to help him with various things.
For example, lobbying members of parliament to suggest comics publications review and add new regulations?
This move is absolutely fatal!
It's just that this move will also hurt Wanbao Manga himself, so Gu Miao doesn't want to use it.
…
Superman and Doctor Noir are both scheduled to be released in mid-March.
After staying in North America for a few days and making sure that all arrangements were in place, Gu Miao returned to her hometown of Jiangchuan to prepare for the 110th anniversary of the founding of her alma mater, Jiangchuan University.
This year is Daqing!
For a centenary celebration like this, the alumni representatives invited are not ordinary people, and even Gu Miao is just a small shrimp among them.
Gu Miao is an outstanding alumnus in the business world.
In addition to the business world, there are also outstanding alumni in the military, political, academic and media circles. There are many real big names in these fields.
Thanks to the president of the "Alumni Association", Gu Miao also used this status to get to know many alumni in other fields, and her status in the alumni circle is pretty good.
Even the principal lamented that Xiao Gu’s smooth way of doing things and his talent as a “social cow” made it a pity not to go into politics. That’s right!
The principal thinks that Gu Miao is a social cow. He shamelessly makes friends everywhere with his junior attitude. No matter what other people's status is, he can always chat with him.
If he is an alumnus of academia, Gu Miao will go to find out what field the other person is studying, and also says that he actually admires scientists. If it is convenient, leave a phone number and ask for more advice in the future.
Let’s not talk about alumni from the military and political circles.
The outstanding alumni in these two fields, others did not dare to make up, but Gu Miao, and farted, ran over to say hello.
He is one of the few young people under the age of 40 among the many invited outstanding alumni.
Yes, young man!
In the eyes of a group of old men and women in their fifties, sixties, or even seventies or eighties, Gu Miao is the young man of their children and grandchildren.
Precisely because of his young age, Gu Miao will not arouse the resentment of many senior alumni, and everyone is willing to communicate with him.
“Making a lot of money!”
After shopping around and receiving more than twenty private phone numbers, Gu Miao felt that this school anniversary had come to the right time.
If you didn’t come, how would you have the chance to meet so many big guys?
How do you say that?
Before his status reaches a certain height, he may be disgusted with such activities, but when his status reaches a certain height and he is named an "outstanding alumnus", he will actively participate in such activities.
Different identities mean different perspectives on things.
In addition to participating in the anniversary of his alma mater, Gu Miao was also invited to cut the ribbon for the opening of the "Ciyuan Lake" scenic spot in Jiangchuan City.
That’s right!
After a period of development and preparation, Ciyuan Lake has finally been properly arranged and has been listed as a "tourist attraction" for development.
Hang up the sign of the scenic spot not only means that the environment and landforms here are protected, but also means that this place will become Jiangchuan's new city card.
The scenic area has many attractions.
At present, it is free to visit, and there is no admission fee. However, according to the information Gu Miao heard, the Ciyuan Lake Scenic Area will definitely charge fees in the future.
The ticket price will be around 40 yuan.
This 40 yuan, in addition to visiting the Dimension Lake where "Gu Sanshui Enlightenment" also includes all the amusement rides in the former "Pleasant Goat Paradise" and the former site of Wanbao.
“The old Wanbao site was the office space of Wanbao Animation from the very beginning. It not only restored the layout at that time, but also displayed many paper manuscripts and other exhibits donated by Wanbao Group.”
The person responsible for the explanation is the commentator hired by the scenic spot. Under her explanation, tourists can hear some historical stories of the Wanbao site.
The exhibits are quite interesting.
Although the donation was made by Wanbao Group, Gu Miao was not personally responsible, so he did not know exactly what was donated.
At first glance, there are quite a lot of things!
One of the hand-painted original paintings of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" evoked Gu Miao's memories.
If I remember correctly, that was painted by him...
There are also a few lines of small text next to the exhibit: "When Gu Miao first created the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", he used the hand-drawn draft of the original painting to show the character image."
There are a few CDs next to them. They are the first discs of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and are kept as spare parts in the company.
During the "Pokémon" period, the plasticine "Pikachu" that Gu Miao made at random is also in the exhibition hall, as well as a sample of the Digimon machine.
From the early "Pleasant Goat" to the recent "Martin's Morning", the exhibition hall basically arranges many exhibits according to a timeline, so that visitors can review the past ten years of Wanbao Animation.
“A very meaningful exhibition!”
Even Gu Miao praised him greatly, let alone others.
Many of the things on display at the Wanbao site are worthless but of great significance.
For example, that "plasticine" Pikachu, do you think it's worth it? It is worthless! But this is where all Pokémon come from, and where the Pokémon animated games were born.
There is also the world's first "Yu-Gi-Oh" Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Kururi Ball physical cards.
This is slightly worth the money!
The old Wanbao site is very large. After all, before moving to the industrial park, it was once the office of the entire Wanbao Group.
So not only Wanbao animation, but also Wanbao games and Wanbao comics, many things are put on display in the exhibition hall for public display.
“It’s like a Wanbao Museum!”
The sigh of a tourist next to me is actually right.
This is indeed the Wanbao Museum, and all the exhibits are closely related to Wanbao. But everyone who comes to visit is here for Wanbao!
If it weren’t for Wanbao being so famous, where would the old Wanbao site come from, where would these exhibits come from, and where would the Ciyuan Lake Scenic Area come from?
Except for outsiders who may believe such nonsense as "Dimensional Lake is a blessed land", who among the locals doesn't know the true origin of Dimensional Lake?
When we were digging this artificial lake, I went to the construction site and drove the excavator for two days!
Jiangchuan citizens are very sensible.
Even without Wanbao’s hush money, he took the initiative to conceal the origin of the “Dimensional Lake” from outsiders.
To put it bluntly, lying is wrong.
But if white lies can help the city develop better and attract more tourists from other places and even foreign countries, then it’s okay for everyone to lie to them.
Isn’t it just bragging?
Let me tell you, Dimensional Lake is amazing! When I was a child, I drank the water from the Dimensional Lake, and I felt hot all over after drinking it. The older generation said that this lake water was transformed from dragon blood, and ordinary people could not drink it...
Gu Sanshui drank dragon blood, so he came up with so many strange ideas and made so many animations!
Everyone is pretty good at bragging.
I don’t know why, but everyone now recognizes that the “Dimensional Lake” is the place where Gu Sanshui achieved enlightenment.
In Jiangchuan, whenever an outsider asks this question, they will definitely tell him: "Ah, yes, yes, yes! Gu Sanshui fell into the Dimensional Lake and then came up with all kinds of ideas..."
Artificial lake?
Stop making trouble! Jiangchuan people will tell you with great solemnity that the Dimensional Lake may have been dug artificially, but it has existed since he was a child.
An old man in his seventies or eighties also said that it is true that Ciyuan Lake is an artificial lake, but it has been dug for many years. It is said that it existed during the Qing Dynasty.
The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes!
Anyway, there was a rumor that came out of nowhere, saying that the Dimensional Lake was a lake dug under the order of a certain emperor.
Gu Miao can't handle this.
As a party involved, he made the decision to dig the lake. So in the eyes of others, he became the emperor inexplicably?
“Okay, the emperor will be the emperor.”
Although the rumors are becoming more and more outrageous, perhaps one day word will spread and the Dimensional Lake will be dug by Qin Shihuang.
But that’s not important.
The most important thing is that Ciyuan Lake, as a scenic spot, has received widespread support from citizens after its development, and tourists from outside and abroad come in droves.
This has also greatly improved the city’s popularity and cultural tourism industry GDP.
As for whether the Ciyuan Lake was dug last week or by the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, no one cares. It just doesn’t matter if it was not dug by Gu Miao!
