My Animation Era

  Chapter 97 Behind the Scenes Documentary

  How does TBS want to cooperate?

   This is a question that Gu Miao hadn't figured out before leaving.

  Although Ikeda told him on the phone that this was a good thing and that the cooperation would be of great benefit to Wanbao, he still couldn't figure it out.

  TBS also has an animation department?

  They have their own animation planning and production capabilities, why should they find other animation companies to cooperate with? Could it be that TBS is also like Sony, with many internal hills and separate ways?

   If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.

  Since what Ikeda said is a good thing, let’s trust him for now and come to Neon to have a look.

  Anyway, during this period of time, Gu Miao has nothing important to do. It is nothing more than the domestic broadcast of "Sailor Moon" and "Pigman" and overseas distribution.

right!

   There is also the "Quiba" project!

  However, this project has not yet been approved. Because of the "production budget", Feiyang Animation and Wanbao Animation quarreled.

   Wanbao Animation does not intend to invest money!

  In Gu Miao's words, Wanbao is so poor that we can only contribute people and efforts to come up with ideas, and there is really nothing we can do with the budget.

   President Xiong was so angry that he broke the defense on the spot.

   "Are you pretending to be Nima? I really don't know, how much money did you make by relying on remote control cars and Pleasant Goat?"

  Obviously richer than Feiyang Animation, he just pretended to be poor and cried miserably, making Xiong a little bit overwhelmed.

   What's the matter, relying on him alone?

  Although he is a rich second generation and has enough prodigal capital, he can't support an animation movie with a total investment of 30 million!

   "You can do it, I believe in you!"

  Gu Miao scratched her head and encouraged: "Then what kind of villa, sports car, girl... you can keep it and you can't have cubs, why don't you use it to shoot "Quiba"?"

Wow! This person is so bad!

   President Xiong immediately asked back: "Don't just blame me, why don't you sell cars and houses yourself, and support the "Quiba" project?"

   "I don't have a car or a house!"

   "..."

  The result of the dispute ended with Gu Miao winning a complete victory.

   Poor Mr. Xiong, being played by Gu Miao in the palm of his hand, in the end he could only hold high the white flag, expressing that he should consider it.

  30 million is indeed a bit much.

  Even the original "Haiwa" project was not so outrageous. Taking out such a large sum of money at once is also very traumatic for Mr. Xiong.

  Gu Miao agreed and gave him time to think about it.

   Then he turned his head and approached Mr. Xiong's father, Mr. Xiong Guofu, a well-known real estate developer in Jiangchuan, and introduced the latest progress of the plan to him.

   "Don't worry, he won't get a penny from his family. The 30 million will definitely drive him to death!" Boss Xiong assured.

"Hahaha!"

  The two looked at each other with a tacit smile, and raised their glasses to toast the upcoming goal.

  Champagne at halftime?

   No no no! This is not a half-time opening of champagne, because Gu Miao concluded that Xiaoxiong will definitely find a way to get the 30 million together and get into the trap he and Boss Xiong designed.

   Don't ask why?

  Question is the plan of "Quiba", which is really attractive to animators like Mr. Xiong and Hou Bin who are "very ordinary but so confident".

in other words.

  This trap is not actually a trap. In terms of quality, "Quiba" is definitely an excellent project, and Xiong always fell for it not because he was innocent, but because he was really deceived by the "appearance".

   It looks good, but it may not be really good!

   President Xiong needs time to consider the pros and cons, and by the way, to raise funds, Gu Miao did not urge him, but came to Neon.

  Seto came to pick you up.

  Compared to the first time she came to Neon to participate in the "Creator Meeting", Gu Miao has no place to stay, so she can only stay in a hotel under the arrangement of TBS.

   This time I came to Neon, the treatment is completely different.

   At the very least, there is a special car to pick you up!

  The hotel I stayed in was better than last time, and the restaurant I ate at was also the most famous Japanese restaurant in Kyoto.

  All are reimbursed from public funds!

  Anyway, it's entertaining the president, so Seto doesn't have to worry about being gossiped about, what's wrong with embezzling public funds for eating, drinking and having fun? If you have the ability, go and sue and see who will take care of you?

   "Damn it, the custom shop is closed!"

  Standing on the street full of people, Gu Miao was very annoyed when she looked at a custom shop with a signboard of 【3 days closed する.】.

   It's rare that there is no ghost around, Jiang Keke also appropriated a sum of public funds, just wanted to appreciate the neon style and learn a lot, but the custom shop closed for three days!

  How could it be like this?

  Kicked the door several times, and after confirming that there was really no one inside, Gu Miao took Seto back angrily.

  The custom store is closed, but the Wanbao Neon branch is not closed...

   Gu Miao, who had nowhere to go, took a brief tour of the various departments of the Neon Branch under the leadership of Seto, the president.

   Not to mention, it was quite unexpected.

  In terms of scale, the Neon Branch is actually far inferior to Jiangchuan Headquarters. Not to mention Wanbao Animation, even the "Wolf Castle Studio" under Wanbao Animation is not as good.

   There are only 48 people in total.

   But although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

  Although the team is small, they have all the departments that an animation company should have. There was even a post that didn't even exist in the headquarters.

  Documentary director!

  This is a part-time position with no "salary" and a pure hobby.

  The content of the work is roughly: use the existing equipment and equipment to record the bitterness and laughter during the animation production process, interspersed with some interviews with the "main creator", and finally edit it into a documentary.

   "That's a good idea..."

  Gu Miao glanced at the rough-cut behind-the-scenes documentary of the first episode of "Sailor Moon" and was quite satisfied.

  The beginning of the documentary is a passage about the establishment of the "Wanbao (Neon) Branch" narrated by Seto.

   Then comes team building.

  Under the leadership of the "wise and mighty" President Gu Miao, the creation of "Sailor Moon" began.

  There was joy in the middle...

   When TBS aired the first episode and the ratings were sent back to the Neon branch, everyone cheered in the office and debated where to go to celebrate at night.

   also had pain...

  When making the eighth episode of the animation, an original artist failed to stick to the bottom line, made a mistake, and didn’t get a good night’s sleep for a week.

   That's right, it's the inner ghost painter!

  This is some of the mental journey he took the initiative to say in the documentary after he admitted his mistakes and got the opportunity to make up for his mistakes.

   Well done!

  Gu Miao felt that the headquarters could also learn from this "behind-the-scenes documentary" model. Use a camera to record every moment of laughter or pain and cut it into a documentary.

   It doesn't have to be exciting.

  But at least one copy of "Nianxiang" is saved, which is very commemorative.

  Many years later, when everyone is too old to walk and can't remember the past, they can still relive the beauty of the past through documentaries...

   Of course, that's not the point.

  The key point is to make such a documentary. It doesn’t cost too much money at all, and it can also have a good “propaganda” effect. Why not do it?

   Seeking collection monthly ticket support~!
