Chapter 225 American Comics Superhero (Please Subscribe)
Mr. Tan's recognition gave the entire "Moonlight is Beautiful" animation production team full of confidence.
Even the sponsor’s father said yes after reading it, which proves that everyone’s efforts are not in vain and everything is worth it!
In this case...
So why are you hesitating?
The next thing to do is to execute the original plan, complete the animation, and present it to the long-awaited fans.
But New Year’s Day is coming.
The new year has arrived. As the chief director of the animation "Moonlight Is So Beautiful", Gu Miao, in addition to busy with the things at hand, has not forgotten that he is also the boss of the company.
According to Wanbao tradition.
It's the end of the year, and he, the boss, always has to show his face and go to major subsidiaries to make a presence felt and understand what achievements everyone has made in the past year.
By the way, make arrangements for the annual meeting.
Yes……
Wanbao also has an annual party this year!
In the past two years, Wanbao was still in the "start-up" stage and could not even solve the problem of food and clothing. How could it have the time to hold an annual meeting?
Today is different from the past!
As the saying goes, there are as many nouveau riche as there were in the past.
It happened that the decoration of the company's headquarters building was completed at the end of the year, and Gu Miao also planned to celebrate it, so the "annual meeting" plan came into being.
The Wanbao headquarters building was planned in advance and started construction as early as last year when the "Wanbao·Pleasant Goat Paradise" was built.
It’s been going around in circles for more than half a year.
Today, Gu Miao finally received the news that the interior decoration was completed and it was ready to move in and work.
"Great!"
After learning that as the vice president of the group, he finally no longer had to live in the same room as Huang Kun and would soon have an "independent" office of his own, Ma Kui was extremely excited.
"What are you happy about?!"
"Are you so happy to be given an office? What if I said that the company would also provide the vice president with a car?"
"Really?"
Ma Kui's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that these words came from Mr. Gu's mouth.
when? Gu Dabing is so generous, is he willing to give his subordinates a car? Could it be that the car he was talking about only had two wheels?
"what are you thinking?"
Gu Miao pretended to be angry and said: "Am I that stingy? As the vice president of Wanbao, you have some social status. If I don't give you a car, people will think that I treat my employees harshly."
"Great!"
"Mr. Gu, I am a low-key person, so please don't give me any luxury car! Be pragmatic, a million-level car is enough."
Ma Kui clasped his fingers and settled the accounts for Gu Miao: "This can save some money, and it won't disgrace the company if we drive it. What do you think?"
"I think you can go die!"
Gu Miao's expression twitched, and she wanted to peel off this guy's scalp to see if it was a brain or just a pile of paste.
Millions, right?
The decision to allocate cars to company executives was based on the fact that the Wanbao headquarters is a bit far from the core urban area and public transportation is not convenient. It was made in order to facilitate everyone's commuting to and from work.
So this thing just needs to be able to be driven!
According to Ma Kui's standards, it is no longer a "commute" issue. Do we need to hire a full-time driver for him to drive him to and from get off work?
"You are ugly, but you think you are quite beautiful!"
Gu Miao snorted coldly: "Luxury car, right? If you want to drive it, buy it yourself! It's not like you can't afford it with your salary and bonus, so don't even think about it for my money!"
"I knew it……"
When Ma Kui heard this, he suddenly lost interest and said: "But it's better than nothing. No matter what kind of car it is, as long as it is the one you give me, I like it."
Laughing is uglier than crying. Who believes what you say?
This hanging man is really swollen.
Too lazy to talk to this guy, Gu Miao turned the signature pen in her hand, stared at a document on the table and asked, "Tell me, what's going on with Teacher Nantong?"
"Is such that……"
Ma Kui told Gu Miao the reason.
The cause of the incident was that Gu Miao wanted to expand the industry of "Wanbao Comics" company, so he arranged for Nantong to acquire a local Neon comic publishing company.
The original intention is to attract talents.
In the comics industry, there are few practitioners in the country, and there is a lack of readers. If you want to develop and grow, you can only go overseas to recruit talents.
As a result, during this process, Nantong Sensei accidentally met a friend who was very knowledgeable about the North American publishing market. With his introduction, Nan Tong discovered a North American comic company with great potential.
"American comics?"
Gu Miao looked at the information submitted by Nantong and felt speechless.
Doesn’t he know about the things mentioned above? The North American comics market is not a small one, and he will definitely pay attention to it.
But this style is not suitable for Wanbao.
Wanbao's core industry is animation, and other industries are extended around "animation". This means that the first task of comic companies must be to discover and provide IP that can be "adapted" into animation.
What did Nantong discover?
Of course, it is an "American superhero" comic with distinctive characteristics and great appeal.
How could Gu Miao not know this stuff?
There were so many superhero blockbusters in the past life that I am tired of watching them. When it comes to the origin, 90% of them come from early "American superhero" comics.
Nantong wants to step into this field.
To be honest, Gu Miao didn't object to him doing this. After all, superheroes are quite interesting to be honest and have great future prospects.
But he wants to adapt animation, and even spend huge sums of money to acquire an "American comic" company with a mature system.
This made Gu Miao very hesitant.
Is there any precedent for American superheroes being adapted into animation?
The answer is yes!
Spider-Man, Batman and other superheroes have actually been adapted into animations, and have even achieved good results.
But the work that really makes superheroes shine, even become popular all over the world, and reach the peak of influence, is the "live-action" adaptation.
As for the real person aspect...
To be honest, a successful live-action adaptation requires not only a Hollywood production environment, but also the support of capital giants such as Warner, Disney and Fox.
What is Wanbao?
Gu Miao doesn't think that the same superhero IP can recreate the same box office myth if he gets it.
Animation adaptation potential is not as good as live-action.
However, Wanbao does not have the strength to adapt it into a real person to maximize its benefits.
Therefore, Gu Miao's attitude towards "American comic" superheroes is, to be honest, a bit tasteless and tasteless.
not to mention……
Nantong’s proposal is to directly acquire North American comic companies with mature systems and IP universes.
This is not a small sum of money!
Even the selected North American comic companies are far from as huge as Marvel and DC in terms of strength and IP influence. In the North American comics market, it is considered above average at best.
But even so, if you want to acquire such a comic company with a mature system and stable profits, the price to pay is not a small amount.
What a headache!
Although they are not considered children anymore, I still wish everyone a happy Children’s Day!
