My Animation Era

  Chapter 296 Liu Maoxing's private recipe? (seeking subscription)

   Ma Kui's words are not without reason.

   Is the gourmet fan unpopular? The answer is yes! No matter which country you are in, as long as it is food animation, it can be said to be unpopular.

   Neon?

   It is undeniable that Neon has indeed produced a lot, and there are also many excellent animations featuring "food and cooking".

  But compared to popular themes such as "Another World", "Campus Love" and "Fantasy Adventure", isn't the gourmet fan still unpopular?

certainly!

   In essence, "The Little Master of China" is actually not a particularly pure "gourmet fan". Putting aside the point of "glowing cuisine", in fact, the core is still the Japanese manga classic "Hot Blood".

   It's just that it's covered with a layer of "cooking and gourmet food".

   Still the same problem...

  Regardless of whether this animation is essentially a "hot-blooded fan" or a "gourmet fan", the upper limit of the subject matter is here, will anyone really be interested, and will it produce results?

   Marquette is skeptical.

   It's not that he doesn't believe Mr. Gu's vision, but that he feels that he is not good at "Gourmet Fan". Even if you reach the top level, in fact, the results will be the same.

   Can it still achieve the level of "breaking the circle" of "Sailor Moon"?

   "Why not?"

  Gu Miao asked back: "I admit that the gourmet fan is considered unpopular, but I think it's wrong for you to say that the upper limit of this subject is low."

  The upper limit of gourmet themes is low?

  Where did this fallacy come from? The food theme is indeed unpopular, but the upper limit has always been high, okay?

  Take documentaries as an example.

  A piece of "China on the Bite of the Tongue" became popular all over the country, and successfully achieved the "breaking circle" effect, which proved that the upper limit of food documentaries can also be very high.

  Take web texts as an example.

  A "Gourmet Supplier" was also popular on the Internet. Although it did not "break the circle", it also set off a frenzy of "food themes" to follow suit that year.

  Take variety shows as an example.

   "Chinese Restaurant" and "Longing for Life", which are more relaxed and everyday food variety shows, don't they have high ratings?

   Let’s go back to the anime field…

   Food-themed animations and comics are rare, but the upper limit is not low!

  Such as "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater", "The Little Master of China", "The Captive of Food" and "Little Fugui, the Chef", etc., aren't they enough to prove the upper limit?

   "Don't be embarrassing!"

   "I know what you want to say, the theme of food is unpopular, and few people see it..."

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "But have you ever considered the possibility that there are actually a lot of foodies in this world?"

   "People don't watch much, it's because they couldn't impress them with the gourmet shows in the past. But if you can impress these foodies, do you think it is still difficult to achieve results?"

Uh!

   Ma Kui was stunned by what he said.

   It seems to be the reason. Everyone is a foodie. The reason why they are not interested in gourmet shows is because the filming is too bad to whet the appetite.

  If the photos are really good-looking and the food is portrayed mouth-wateringly, it is really easy to get results!

"but…"

   Seeing that Ma Kui had already been convinced by herself, Gu Miao smiled wryly and said, "You said just now that it is difficult to make peripheral derivative products for Gourmet Fan. This is an indisputable fact."

   Fatal flaw!

   Gourmet Fan is good at everything, but it is difficult to make peripheral derivatives.

   Unless there is a beautiful and cute heroine who speaks softly and cooks deliciously, who can charm thousands of old lewd ruffians, I am afraid that even "figures" will not be sold.

  And "The Little Master of China"? !

  Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it. Except for the heroine Zhou Meili who could barely be called "pleasing to the eye and pretty", the other characters seemed to be a bit "abstract".

   Difficult mussels!

   Expecting to make a lot of money selling figurines, I'm afraid there is no hope. The male protagonist Liu Maoxing, that is, the young master, is certainly handsome and compelling, but...

   "Do you buy his figure?"

"Not buying!"

   "Why don't you buy it? Isn't my little head not handsome enough? Or are you in love with other flirtatious sluts?"

   "If he opens a culinary training class, or a restaurant, then I will definitely take care of the business. As for the figure... Who would buy his figure?"

   You don’t need to think about it, a group of foodies are only interested in shiny dishes, chef Liu Maoxing? Serious people who are interested in cooking!

  Gu Miao was almost autistic.

  Although he can make money without relying on peripheral derivatives, after all, the quality of "The Little Master of China" is here, how could he lose money?

  But he believed in one truth:

   Earning less = losing money!

  It is obvious that you can make a lot of money, but if you can't make it, isn't it a blood loss?

  If a highly popular animation work like "The Little Master of China" doesn't make money with peripheral derivatives, he won't be able to sleep at night.

  However, there is really nothing to show around it!

  Can’t make a figure of 【Glowing Egg Fried Rice】and show everyone a magic trick of "you can only watch but not eat", right?

  That’s a bit abstract!

   Chasing away Ma Kui, who was too busy drinking tea, and almost didn't give him all the tea leaves, Gu Miao nestled in the office and thought all afternoon.

   Finally, when he was about to leave work, he finally thought of it.

  Why can't you sell recipes?

   "Little master strongly recommends! Ten Dishes that Novice Chefs Must Learn", "Yangquan Restaurant's Specialty Dishes", "Liu Maoxing teaches you how to cook", "Yangquan Restaurant is all about me in C! —The Youngest Super Chef in History》…

   Sounds very attractive!

  Now that the teaching aid market is so hot, there’s no reason why cooking recipes can’t be sold? What's more, this is the recipe of Xiaodangjia!

   Take a bigger step.

  The recipes are all there, and the gold medal kitchen utensils certified by "Little Masters", don't they have to have a complete set?

  As the saying goes, it doesn’t matter if your cooking skills are poor, but your kitchen utensils must not be poor!

  Even if a plate of dark dishes is made in the end, it is a dark dish made with gold medal kitchen utensils, and the value will be completely different.

  Just when Gu Miao was thinking about how to fool him into cooperating with him to create a "Little Master Cookbook" after the state banquet-level culinary director was in place, there was a knock on the door.

   "Come in!"

   "Mr. Gu, there is a guest coming to visit you."

  The girl at the front desk came in and reported: "He claims to be your junior high school classmate, surnamed Li, do you want to meet him?"

   Surnamed Li, junior high school classmate?

  Gu Miao was suddenly puzzled. Among his junior high school classmates, there seemed to be quite a few with the surname Li. Who was this?

  And the inexplicable junior high school students came to visit, it seems that it is not good news! Couldn't it be that he came here to borrow money when he learned that he was rich?

  That's really annoying!

   It's no wonder that Gu Miao thinks so badly about people. The main reason is that he has already lost contact with his former classmates after so many years of graduation.

   No contact for so many years...

  He suddenly came to visit him right after he was on the rich list. It is definitely impossible to say that he is not thinking about it.

   But!

  People have come to their door. As an old classmate, Gu Miao has to go out to meet him no matter whether he borrows money or not.

   Otherwise, if it spreads out, I would think he is so arrogant, and even his old classmates don't want to talk to him anymore.

   Thinking of the time when the chef Xiao Fugui was the most popular, my good friend bought the "golden kitchen utensils", which were very small, only as big as a thumb...
