Chapter 238 Mr. Tan: It’s Money Well Spent! (Please Subscribe)
The fact that Wanbao is going to make an animated film is actually not a secret. Many people within the company know about it, including many friends in the industry including President Xiao Xiong.
But ordinary employees didn't know.
That's why they were so surprised when they learned that Mr. Gu couldn't bear to think about it and wanted to go into the muddy waters of animated movies.
It’s not just them…
As the Wanbao Annual Meeting came to an end, the news spread throughout the Internet. Many fans who love and follow Wanbao Animation also expressed their doubts and confusion.
"No! It's okay for Feiyang Animation to go crazy, but why did Gu Sanshui also go crazy and run off to make some animated movie?"
"Are animated movies so popular?"
"Feiyang Wanbao is owned by Jiangchuan Animation Company, and Feiyang Animation was acquired by Wanbao... I can only say that I understand everything!"
"I definitely support TV animation! But to be honest, I probably won't support animated movies."
"You want me to spend money to go to the cinema to see Pleasant Goat? Stop being ridiculous! Isn't it a Hollywood blockbuster?"
Public opinion was almost one-sided.
No one was optimistic about Gu Miao's big movie project, and even laughed at his choice of topic, thinking what was wrong with him, making an animated movie?
Forget about animated movies.
People may still have the urge to watch animated movies like "Quiba", but the big movie plan he announced is actually based on the theme of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
It made me laugh!
Did you hear that? Pleasant Goat is about to make a big movie! Will you buy a ticket to see it? Who among the serious people goes to the cinema to see Pleasant Goat?
"What's wrong with Pleasant Goat?"
After scanning the online comments about this matter, Mr. Tan, who hurried to Jiangchuan to inspect the animation "Moonlight Is So Beautiful", couldn't help but complain.
"Pleasant Goat is so well-known and has a very broad audience base. Isn't it normal to make a big movie? Why are all these people on the Internet mocking it?"
"normal."
As the person involved, Gu Miao behaved more calmly than Mr. Tan. He explained: "In the eyes of most adults, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is an animation labeled as childish and underage."
"Adults are neither the target audience nor interested in this kind of animated movie. Of course they will find it disgusting."
"Prejudice and arrogance!"
After hearing this, Mr. Tan shook his head.
Is it really that ridiculous for Pleasant Goat to make a movie? The popularity of TV is so high and there are so many children supporting it, why can’t it produce a movie?
Have these adults, who live their lives online waving keyboards and pointing out the world, never considered a problem?
Is there a possibility...
Pleasant Goat's movie was not originally made for them, and I never thought about letting them watch it. Are they being overly sentimental by saying they are "disgusting" and "not even looking at a dog" to express their stance?
Mr. Tan and Gu Miao are both understanding people.
After a brief chat, the two of them stopped paying attention to the recent news about the movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" online.
Back to business.
Mr. Tan returned to Jiangchuan this time, partly because of the Chinese New Year and to reunite with relatives and friends. On the other hand, it was because Gu Miao told him that the animation "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful" was almost completed.
As the only investor in animation, he must accept it.
Of course, this is a process.
In fact, he and Gu Miao have been communicating about animation production. Although he can't say that he participated in the "whole process" of the production, he also knows what the animation will look like.
Overall, it meets the requirements.
Although in terms of plot setting, "The Moon Is Beautiful" is a bit divorced from reality and does not match his original goals.
For that matter…
It mainly reflects that the plot began in 2010, but in reality Mr. Tan and his wife met earlier.
But this is a minor issue.
Although the timeline does not match up and there are many "original" parts in the plot, the overall completion level has exceeded Mr. Tan's imagination.
"very nice."
From the first time Tan An and Ye Qian met, they cried, laughed, had arguments and conflicts, and finally reconciled.
In just twelve episodes, after watching it, people feel a sense of loss, as if they have seen the ignorant and youthful self they once were...
As an audience member, Mr. Tan is undoubtedly the one who feels the deepest feelings.
Because, his name is also Tan An!
Picking up the paper on the table and wiping his slightly moist eyes, Mr. Tan couldn't help but smile: "You may not know, but my wife has been scolding me for taking advantage of me, saying that I spent so much money on this animation, which was a waste of money. ."
"What do you think?"
"Me? I think..."
Mr. Tan smiled as he recalled in his mind every moment of Tan An and Ye Qian getting along with each other in the animation, as well as the scene of the two kissing under the moonlight.
“It’s money well spent!”
As the saying goes, money can't buy you happiness.
Perhaps after making this decision, Mr. Tan also regretted it privately. After all, 100 million is really not a small amount of money. Even for a top rich man like him, 100 million can do a lot of things.
But these emotions all disappeared after he finished reading "The Moon Is So Beautiful".
I just like it, it makes no sense!
Someone spends the same money to buy a supercar, a private jet, and a luxury villa.
If they made such a decision just because they liked it, then the same was true for Mr. Tan. Because I like it, there is no such thing as regret.
Unjust?
Maybe in the eyes of others, his behavior is an injustice, but he can't stand it if he is rich and people like him!
"If you feel satisfied, that's fine."
After hearing Mr. Tan's comments, Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If there's no problem, I'll go negotiate with Wanbao Video and try to start broadcasting around the Lantern Festival."
"I have no opinion."
"Let's do this. I'll ask Wanbao Video to send two people to our company to communicate with the technical department and open up the port channels."
Mr. Tan knocked on the table and said in deep thought: "I will ask the company to cooperate with you to promote "The Moonlight Is Beautiful" across the entire network."
"ah?!"
Gu Miao was stunned, and after a long time she said, "Isn't this bad? You are a listed company after all, we..."
The company founded by Mr. Tan is one of the top Internet giants in the country!
And the industry is search engine!
If such a large company fully cooperates with Wanbao to promote "The Moonlight Is Beautiful", the traffic will be unimaginable.
But there is also a problem.
After all, Mr. Tan's company is listed, with a complicated ownership structure and an absurdly large number of shareholders.
"Moonlight Is Beautiful" is only a private investment project by Mr. Tan. If he wants to use company resources to promote it, will it cause dissatisfaction among shareholders?
After all, at the end of the day, this is a private matter.
The company founded by Mr. Tan does not have the final say alone. If he makes such a decision, will shareholders and executives agree?
