My Animation Era

This year's New Year's Eve is more lively and special than in previous years.

Gu Miao's mother-in-law learned that her daughter and son-in-law were coming to celebrate the New Year with their grandson. She went to the vegetable market to buy the necessary ingredients. When passing a traffic light intersection, she was hit by a black car that ran a red light.

Fortunately the speed was not very fast.

Although he saved his life, he suffered a broken leg and was admitted to the hospital. In order to prevent the old man from feeling lonely, everyone came to the hospital to accompany him this New Year's Eve.

This was the first time for Gu Miao to celebrate the New Year in a place like a hospital, eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

It feels pretty good too.

Probably because Gu Miao was rich, the ward arranged for her mother-in-law was relatively luxurious, so it didn't feel crowded when so many people gathered together. The nurse on duty also thoughtfully prepared Spring Festival couplets and monkey dolls, which definitely filled the atmosphere.

certainly!

Even on New Year's Eve, even in a place like the hospital, Gu Miao was still not idle.

On the one hand, he had to deal with his mother-in-law's traffic accident and make the driver who ran the red light receive the punishment he deserved.

On the other hand, the company also needs his constant attention. After all, at 12 o'clock in the morning when the Spring Festival Gala ends, the much-anticipated movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Happy Year of the Monkey" will be released.

This is the fourth major movie in the animated Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf Zodiac series, and the third Zodiac theatrical version to be released during the Spring Festival.

There are many fans looking forward to it.

After the first three theatrical versions, Pleasant Goat's Zodiac series has become a well-known movie series, similar to "007" and "Star Wars".

Precisely because the previous theatrical versions have received very good reviews both in terms of box office performance and word-of-mouth, many fans have confidence in this "Year of the Monkey" movie.

Gu Miao was in the hospital and could not go to the premiere. The best way for him to understand the situation, in addition to reports from the company's on-duty staff, was to check the audience's movie reviews on the Internet.

"Don't collapse!"

Gu Miao prayed secretly. After experiencing the failure of the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon", he had lowered his expectations for this big movie in the Year of the Monkey.

There is no hope of a box office hit.

The only hope is that the reputation is not so bad, at least it will be a 50/50 situation, and at least half of the people will praise it.

…

It was just after twelve o'clock in the morning.

Gu Miao couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone and frantically refreshed a movie review forum to check the real-time feedback from the first batch of viewers.

Unfortunately, not so fast.

The main feature of the movie "The Year of the Monkey" lasts a full 95 minutes. The first batch of audience reviews will not appear until 1:30 in the morning at the earliest.

After Gu Miao realized this, she immediately stopped refreshing the page and planned to set an alarm clock and wait until two o'clock in the morning to check the audience feedback.

But just as he was setting the alarm clock, a large number of new posts suddenly appeared on the forum that was originally as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

[I just watched the movie "The Year of the Monkey" and my opinion is a piece of shit! 】

[The Pleasant Goat Year of the Monkey movie is so boring, my son and I fell asleep halfway through it. 】

[Asleep +1! Even if the premiere theater is not full, at least half of the audience in the theater are dozing off. It is simply too miserable...]

Gu Miao: "???"

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the time in the upper right corner of the screen. If he was not blind, it was only 0:12 in the morning.

what's the situation?

A 95-minute movie has only been shown for 12 minutes at the premiere, and there are already so many negative reviews on the forum?

"It's too much!"

Gu Miao is not a fool. Although he is sometimes slow-minded, it can be seen at a glance that someone must have bought a navy to deliberately discredit him.

If he can't even see this, then not only is there something wrong with his brain, but his eyes are also blind.

Very meow...

Wanbao stayed on his own, neither deliberately stirring up trouble nor taking the initiative to disgust others. How could someone still come to disgust Wanbao?

My uncle can't bear it, but my aunt can't!

Gu Miao was so angry that she immediately called Director Wang and asked him if he knew the origin of these embarrassing blackmail troops on the Internet.

"I won't make it!"

Director Wang was confused. He was also surprised when he learned that just 12 minutes after the movie was released, there were overwhelming negative reviews online.

Who did this bad thing?

It’s okay to just buy the navy and black competitors. Can you make the navy more professional? The timing is not right, and the persuasiveness is not as good as the embarrassing essay generated by the AI ​​robot!

The angry Director Wang and Gu Miao immediately launched a detailed investigation and identification work around this incident.

First, exclude those blockbusters.

The reason is simple. The directors of those blockbuster movies are all people whom Gu Miao knows. Gu Miao also knows acquaintances in the film production companies.

After a little inquiry, I found out that they didn't take "The Year of the Monkey" seriously at all. After all, everyone knew that the expected goal of this big movie in the Year of the Monkey was just to "recover the money."

After checking the top films, there is no doubt about the low-cost films at the bottom.

Because it is released during the Spring Festival, it is obvious that they are here to join in the fun. Even Xuanfa is reluctant to spend money on these small-budget movies, so where can they get the money to buy "Happiness in the Year of the Monkey"?

After some investigation and screening, Director Wang and Gu Miao set their sights on "The Flying Thief", a mid-tier Spring Festival film that was also an animated film.

"They must have done it!"

Gu Miao frowned and said, "Although the words of these sailors did not imply which movie was better, they all mentioned one word, animation!"

This range is very small.

During this year's Spring Festival holiday, apart from "The Year of the Monkey", the only animated film released at the same time is "The Flying Thief".

What's even more coincidental is that both animated films are aimed at the "family fun" market, focusing on light-hearted fun and joy.

Work backwards from the results.

Assuming that "The Year of the Monkey" is wildly criticized and its reputation hits rock bottom, then this film will benefit the most, because it is the only animated "family fun" film released during the Spring Festival.

"But we have no evidence!"

Director Wang hesitated a little, feeling that it would be too rough to identify someone as the murderer without evidence.

"Wanbao doesn't need evidence to do things."

"If I say they did it, then they did it!" Gu Miao said domineeringly, "Even if you really wrong them, you can also kill a competitor by the way. Why not?"

Director Wang: "..."

It made sense, but he couldn't refute it.

No matter who did it, they should put the shit on "The Flying Thief" first and kill it first, so that "The Year of the Monkey" becomes the audience's only choice.

The law of the dark forest, right?

Director Wang, who often reads science fiction novels, suddenly thought of this setting and couldn't help complaining: "Isn't this too dark?"

"You mean Gouba!"

Gu Miao said righteously: "We are the first party to be hacked. It is a self-defense counterattack. Do you understand that teachers have a reputation?"

Well! A famous teacher?

Could it be that these navy troops are...

Director Wang thought of an extremely terrifying guess, but he was too timid to say it in front of Mr. Gu.

Read the book at a glance, and when you have questions, remember to think more about whether you have missed something...
