My Animation Era

  If we say that the hot launch of the animation "Dragon Ball Z" is the first blockbuster that Wanbao Animation has dropped in the new year.

  The big movie "Sailor Moon" released after that was the second blockbuster!

Unfortunately…

  The lethality of this bomb is obviously not as high as the previous one. Not only that, but the target of this bomb is still friendly forces.

  Wanbao was blown upside down.

  Although everyone was mentally prepared that the box office revenue would not be too high long before the theatrical version was confirmed to be released, it was still difficult for everyone to get nervous when the box office of the premiere was released.

  22.58 million!

   Sounds pretty cool, right?

  The box office of more than 20 million in a single day is not bad by any means!

  The premise is that the box office is priced in RMB or U.S. dollars, not the so-called "yen".

   This is the famous "Sailor Moon" series!

  With such a strong publicity and fan base spread across men, women and children, the box office was only over 20 million yuan on the first day. Let alone earning money, it may be difficult to even pay back.

  Gu Miao was numb.

  I thought that after experiencing the huge defeat of "Quiba", he would no longer be shocked by such trivial things, but the failure of the US war theater version still made him feel heavy.

   No matter how "Quiba" fails, it's always Xiaoxiong who loses money himself, and Wanbao loses nothing.

  Keep the US war theater version different.

  As the exclusive investor, Wanbao is responsible for all profits and losses, and the loss caused by the US war movie is the first serious decision-making error since the establishment of Wanbao Animation.

   Need to be held accountable?

  Lao Zhang's suggestion was quickly rejected by Gu Miao.

  Man makes mistakes, horses make mistakes!

  The development of Wanbao Animation has always been smooth, and it can be called a constant victor in the industry. It has always been the envy of many colleagues.

   But in this world, how can there be a true undefeated God of War? Wanbao has been going smoothly for so long, so it is reasonable to suddenly stumble.

   To put it bluntly, this failure is not a bad thing. In a sense, it is a good thing, which awakened many proud and complacent Wanbao people.

   Not to mention, who should be held accountable?

  The theatrical plan of "Sailor Moon" was drafted by Seto and Nishio, but when the project was approved, the opinions of Gu Miao, Lao Zhang and other group management were also sought, and Gu Miao signed and approved it.

   Hold Nishio and Seto accountable? Then the two of them are indeed to blame. After all, the movie was made like this. As the main promoters, they have an inescapable responsibility.

   But the person who should be held accountable is not the supervisor of this theatrical version, and Gu Miao who approved this project?

   "The supervisor has resigned."

  Lao Zhang said regretfully: "After the box office results on the first day were released, the supervisor who directed the theatrical version has submitted his resignation to Seto."

  The other party is still very sensible.

   This box office result is obviously a pity for the huge IP popularity of "Sailor Moon", and it is also a pity for the company's huge investment.

   Someone has to take responsibility for this failure, and who could it be?

   Don't need to think about it, Gu Miao will definitely not be blamed for this blame, and Seto and Nishio will not be blamed, so he is the only animation supervisor!

  Rather than being dismissed by the company, it is better to resign voluntarily, which not only preserves dignity for oneself, but also saves the trouble of going through the process.

   "Give me a little more compensation."

  Gu Miao knew that the supervisor was certainly responsible for the failure of the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon", but the responsibility was not all on him.

  Really looking into it, Seto and Nishio of the Neon branch, Gu Miao and Lao Zhang of the headquarters, all have to bear "secondary responsibility".

  So his voluntary resignation can be regarded as taking all the responsibilities, giving Gu Miao, Seto and others a step down, and avoiding becoming the target of fans' fire.

  He is so sensible, and Gu Miao can't be cold hearted. He must give a little more in terms of resignation compensation, which should be used as breakup fees.

  …

  The first big drama of the Lunar New Year came to an end when the supervisor of the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon" announced his resignation, and Wanbao officially issued an apology to all fans.

   Fans are dissatisfied.

  Especially those old fans who have followed the TV animation series of "Sailor Moon" all the way, they are extremely angry with this theatrical version.

   But there is nothing I can do if I am dissatisfied.

  The theatrical version has already been released, and the supervisor also took the initiative to take full responsibility, announcing his resignation and getting out.

  The American War fans who had nowhere to vent their anger had no choice but to target Seto, thinking that he had ruined the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon", and asked Wanbao to expel Seto as well.

How can this be?

  Seto is Gu Sanshui's right-hand man. Although he has made mistakes, he will not be dismissed. Fans' requests are destined not to be answered.

   But if nothing is done, the overwhelming resentment of the fans will not be appeased.

  Seto thought of a good way.

  He feels that there are two main reasons why everyone is so angry with the theatrical version.

  The first reason is very simple. The theatrical version is really bad, and it has failed the expectations and trust of many US War fans. This is also the main contradiction.

   As for the second reason, it is interesting to say.

   As we all know, Wanbao Neon Division has two well-known "Magical Girl" themed animations, namely the early "Sailor Moon" and the new "Pretty Cure".

  During the whole year of last year, Wanbao Neon Division has been promoting Guangmei, and the Meizhan series seems to have been "refrigerated".

   This made many US war fans resentful, feeling that they were not taken seriously, and the limelight of Sailor Moon was also taken away by Mitsumi.

  So his plan is to use the news of the fourth season of "Sailor Moon" TV to stabilize the morale of the army when the theatrical version suffers from box office failure and fans are extremely dissatisfied.

   "Would this work?"

   "It can be done! Mr. Gu, trust me!"

   On the phone, Seto made a strong promise: "As long as we announce the news of the fourth season of American War, those rambunctious fans will understand that Wanbao has not ignored them, nor has it forgotten "Sailor Moon."

   "This can not only appease the fans, but also divert their attention, turning everyone's attention from the theater version to the upcoming fourth season of TV."

   "That's fine, you can figure it out."

  Gu Miao doesn't know whether the trick of "diverting attention" will work or not, but since Seto has said so, let him try it!

   Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can’t be worse than it is now. The theater version is already so bad. The fourth season of TV can’t be bad, right?

Moreover.

  Thousands of miles away, it was Seto who was scolded, but not him. At worst, he scored twice. After the director of the theatrical version resigned, he will perform "Slaying Seto with Tears" for everyone!

   Right-hand man?

  Brother, I'm just kidding!

  When the fans are full of resentment, Gu Miao dares to sever her wrist even if she is Zhen's right-hand man, and abandons Seto without hesitation.
