My Animation Era

   The Hollywood giant that co-produced the film "The Lion King" with Wanbao is MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies.

   Their attitude sucks.

  In the beginning, the selection of the head of film music for the "Lion King" project made them very unhappy, thinking that Wanbao disrespected its partners too much.

   Later, during the film release stage, Gu Miao proposed to increase the publicity budget, and when they continued to increase the budget, they also disgusted Gu Miao once.

In general.

  Since then, the two parties have basically confirmed the ending of the movie "Break Up When It's Released".

   If there is no accident, after the movie is released, the two parties can say that there will be an indefinite period, scold each other for being stupid, and then go their separate ways.

  Why did it become like this?

  When Gu Miao was free, he also thought about this issue, and finally he came to a conclusion: Both parties are too proud!

  As one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, MGM is very proud of movies, and believes that the movies produced by them are the best movies in the world, while Wanbao is just a small company from the "movie desert".

   Therefore, the "Lion King" project should listen to their advice, and Wanbao should feel at ease as a foil.

   In the same way, the people of Wanbao Animation are also very proud of animation. Of course, they think that they are the best animation company in the world.

  MGM? !

  A Hollywood company that has a good record in live-action movies, but is an "animation idiot"...

   "You don't understand movies!"

   "No one knows animation better than me!"

  Both parties have their own assets to be proud of. MGM thinks that Wanbao doesn’t understand movies, and Wanbao also thinks that MGM doesn’t understand animation, so when they collaborated on the “Lion King” project, huge conflicts arose.

  The way of handling the contradiction naturally ended with Wanbao winning.

  After all, the ownership of the "Lion King" project, including the copyright, is in the hands of Wanbao, and the conflict with Wanbao is doomed to no good end for MGM.

   But MGM is also simmering fire.

  They are preparing to wait for news of the disastrous box office failure of the "Lion King" project, and then take the opportunity to disclose more content in order to mock or belittle Wanbao's "stupid" behavior.

  Unsurprisingly, the final result will be that Wanbao will be severely criticized and rejected by most Hollywood studios, and its reputation will plummet with the fiasco of "The Lion King".

   But well known.

   The subtext of no accidents is that accidents will happen! And the movie "The Lion King" smashed 100 million North American box office within 40 hours of its release, which became this "accident".

   "Hey! What did I say?"

   "Du is a genius, a real genius! I have always believed in this sentence, and the success of the movie "The Lion King" also proves it."

   “…yes, I said it earlier, The Lion King is going to be one of the best animated films ever made!”

  The so-called face-changing in Sichuan opera is used to describe the change of attitude at MGM, it is simply too appropriate.

  After the latest North American box office results came out, MGM, who had been complaining about Wanbao before, the head of its film and television department, soon praised Wanbao and Du Hao in an interview.

  The rapid change in his attitude not only surprised Gu Miao, but even many North American media were making complaints about it. You didn't say that two days ago...

All right!

   Make money, not shabby.

  The excellent box office performance of the movie "The Lion King" made MGM's attitude towards Wanbao take a 360° turnaround.

  Not only in interviews or public statements, but also in private communication, they are also extremely enthusiastic about Wanbao, saying: "Hey buddy, I can't wait to cooperate with you for the second time!"

  Who wants to continue working with you?

   Such unscrupulous words made Gu Miao really vomit. He guessed MGM's attitude, but he really didn't expect that the thick skins of these people are as thick as a city wall.

  As if overnight, all the filth and contradictions of the past disappeared.

   But is it possible?

  Not to mention far away, at least from Gu Miao's point of view, there is still a thorn in his heart that has not been removed!

   "The Lion King 2"?

  A live-action version of The Lion King?

   Hurry up and get out! We agreed to break up after the release, why? Knowing that your ex-boyfriend's house is going to be demolished, you suddenly feel reluctant to break up?

   Classic! So classic and spicy!

  Others may miss their old love, and may accept MGM's flattery, but Gu Miao is different. He doesn't have the slightest intention of "renewing his relationship" with MGM.

  Maybe there will be a sequel to "The Lion King", there may be a live-action version, or even other versions, but these have nothing to do with MGM.

  The cooperation has been terminated!

  Speaking of this, Gu Miao is actually very emotional. I don't know which **** sent the news. With the popularity of the movie "The Lion King", now the whole world knows the love and hatred between Wanbao and MGM.

  So...

   Those Hollywood giants who were envious of MGM and their good luck, learned that the "Lion King" project might still be cut off, and immediately flocked to it.

  Gu Miao's phone was about to explode.

None of the other giants in Hollywood is not interested in the follow-up development of "The Lion King". Everyone wants to cooperate with Wanbao to jointly produce "The Lion King 2", "The Lion King 3", and even a live-action version of "The Lion King". movie of.

  Don't ask why they are enthusiastic.

  The question is that the box office performance of "The Lion King" movie is too amazing. According to the information collected from various parties and the box office trend forecast, it is not difficult to speculate that "The Lion King" will be the first animated film in North America to break the box office of 300 million US dollars.

  The global box office is even expected to exceed 1 billion US dollars, ranking among the forefront of movie history! The top three box office animated films, and even the first!

  No one will underestimate a work that has a global box office of more than 1 billion US dollars, and the film still hopes to be made into a "series"...

  Even if they are the eight major Hollywood film companies with big businesses, they don’t have many IPs like "The Lion King", which can be counted on one hand.

  No one will dislike a business that is sure to make a profit without losing money. This is like if Warner is willing to sell the "Harry Potter" series, other giants will definitely snap it up.

   But alas.

  Gu Miao has no idea of ​​making a sequel to "The Lion King" or a live-action movie yet.

  So cooperation is dead.

  He declined the olive branch offered to Wanbao by other Hollywood giants, and made it clear that he would not consider creating a movie series around "The Lion King" for the time being.

   But among the many cooperation invitations, he just kept one, the application for cooperation in "Musical Stage Play" from Broadway.

   This puzzled Du Hao.

  Why did you reject all the invitations to cooperate in the film, but why did you keep such an invitation to cooperate in a "stage musical"?

   Are there any special considerations?

   It shouldn't be!

  There is something special about a stage play, Mr. Gu doesn't expect to make a lot of money by relying on it, does he?
