My Animation Era

The new year has arrived.

As the so-called new year brings new atmosphere, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Miao not only ordered the canteen to make a sumptuous Laba porridge to entertain the employees, but also announced a piece of good news at the meeting.

Wanbao Group will start the construction project of employee dormitories this year!

Today, the total scale of Wanbao Group has reached a staggering level. Even excluding labor-intensive subsidiaries like Wanbao Toys, the total number of employees of other companies combined has exceeded 20,000.

If you include Wanbao Toys and ordinary assembly line workers, the total number of employees has exceeded 100,000.

As a large company with 100,000 people, the boss Gu Miao is also concerned about the food, drink, and sleep of his employees.

With so many employees, has everyone bought a house or a car in Jiangchuan?

impossible!

After all, there are only a few employees who buy houses and cars. Most employees rent houses and take buses or subways to work.

"House prices in Jiangchuan have risen too fast. Many employees are complaining that if house prices continue to rise like this, they may not even be able to afford to rent a house, let alone buy a house."

This is an objective fact. Jiangchuan is developing faster and faster, and the rent cost for employees is getting higher and higher. Some people have already thought of resigning and leaving Jiangchuan.

The salary offered by Wanbao is already at the top of the industry.

However, the unbearable increase in housing prices still made many people feel desperate. Seeing the trend of brain drain, Gu Miao immediately called the leader and obtained a piece of land at a low price for the construction of employee dormitories.

"If you want to retain talents, you have to be willing to invest! How much will it cost to build a few buildings?"

Faced with Lao Zhang's doubts, Gu Miao smiled and explained: "You have to take a longer-term view, and don't always stare at the three melons and two dates in front of you."

Building employee dormitories will certainly take up a lot of cash flow, but in the long run, this is definitely a good thing that will benefit the company's development.

When employees have a sense of belonging to the company, are they still afraid that they won't be able to earn back their investment if they don't work seriously?

"All right!"

Lao Zhang reluctantly accepted this statement, but he still had doubts about another matter, so he asked: "Forget it about building employee dormitories, but spending $100 million to remake the "Superman" series is a bit too exaggerated. Already?"

That’s $100 million!

No matter where you are, 100 million US dollars is not a small amount. Even if you are a Fortune 500 company, you must consider it carefully when facing this level of funds.

But without thinking, Mr. Gu directly allocated US$100 million to Wanbao North America Division, and specified that the money could only be used for the reconstruction of the "Superman" series.

Although Lao Zhang is used to Mr. Gu's generous and showy operations, he still can't understand this time.

Is it worth spending so much money just for the IP of "Superman"?

"You do not understand……"

"On the one hand, labor is more expensive in North America. On the other hand, high input leads to high output."

Gu Miao explained patiently: "The "Superman" series is almost in ruins. If you want to revive its glory, you must be willing to spend money. With the idea of ​​​​Quinquan Sosou, Superman will never be able to get up again in this life."

Only $100 million.

It cost 250 million to purchase this IP. How can a mere 100 million be enough? The 100 million allocated by Gu Miao was mostly used for the animation production of the 96 version of "Superman" and the updated iteration of the "Justice League" comic series.

This doesn’t even count movies and TV shows.

If the "Superman" series plans to produce live-action dramas and live-action movies, let alone 100 million, another 100 million will probably not be enough.

"High input, high output?"

Lowering his head and thinking about Mr. Gu's words, Lao Zhang said with a troubled expression: "That's what I say, but can the Superman series really earn back its capital?"

"Don't worry about it. Since I dare to invest, I'm not afraid of losing."

"Instead of worrying about Superman losing money, we should worry about whether our Pleasant Goat Zodiac Movie can make back its money!"

Gu Miao said with a serious expression: "The Year of the Rooster movie has placed the hopes of many people. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous..."

This is not alarmist.

The movie "The Golden Rooster" seems to be just an ordinary zodiac movie, but it is actually of great significance.

Because last year's big movie in the Year of the Monkey had a mediocre box office reputation, and the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" TV animation received poor ratings, it can be said that the turning point of the entire series rested on this movie.

This big movie in the Year of the Rooster performed well, and subsequent zodiac movies, including the TV animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" re-produced by Gu Miao, also have the confidence and confidence to compete with "Bear Bears".

But if the big movie in the Year of the Rooster also fails, then I’m sorry, maybe no one will watch Pleasant Goat in the future.

…

The Pleasant Goat series is in a very bad situation. The reputation of new games in the series itself is declining day by day, and it is also facing strong competition from enemies like "Bear Bears".

Many people are not optimistic that the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series can return to its glorious heights a few years ago.

But there are also a small number of loyal fans who always believe in Pleasant Goat and believe that this former emperor will not fall sadly, but will stage a drama of the return of the king at the appropriate time!

Although last year's new TV work "Come on Happy" still maintains its consistent production standards, and the two plot chapters "Little Huihui Goes to School" and "Lazy Sheep Become a Chef" also received good reviews, its popularity has declined. It's very obvious.

The first season of "Bear Bears," which has not been rerun, is irrefutable proof.

No matter how loyal a fan you are, it's impossible not to feel sad and regretful when you see the former Pleasant Goat reduced to such a situation, and even if you want to watch the replay, you can't find a TV station broadcasting it.

But what about regret?

No one is to blame for Pleasant Goat being in the situation it is today. If we are to blame, it is because time passes so fast, causing those children to grow up slowly.

In this situation, unless Gu Sanshui comes out again, the gods will not be able to save the Pleasant Goat series...

【Exciting! Information about Wanbao's latest registered animated series has been revealed. Gu Sanshui returns to direct Pleasant Goat's new work, tentatively titled "Guardian of Yangcun"! 】

Fans: "???"

Reports from various marketing accounts and self-media have stunned old fans who have watched the Pleasant Goat animation and are now paying close attention to the series.

real or fake?

After many years, Gu Sanshui returned to the animation production team of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and served as the director of the new film?

I'll be a good boy!

When many people saw this news, their first reaction was that they couldn't believe it. After confirming that it was true, they couldn't help but sigh, "Childhood is back."

How many years has it been...

It has been at least seven or eight years since the first edition of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was published in 530 in the dream, right?

The children who watched animation back then are now in college, and some are even married and have children.

I never expected that after so many years, everyone would be able to see the latest masterpiece of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" directed by Gu Miao.

Is this really not a dream?
