My Animation Era - Chapter 720
Chapter 720 No one is young forever, but someone is always young! (seeking subscription)
【My youth is over! 】
This is the movie “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Sheep Elated” was released, and after the first batch of viewers watched it and gave comments, it was the one with the highest number of likes.
The plot of the movie is quite satisfactory. It can only be said that the atmosphere is created very well. It is very suitable to take the whole family to watch this Spring Festival.
Typical family movie!
But the part that touched the audience the most, or surprised them the most, was not the main part of the movie, but the 30-second easter egg at the end.
in particular…
That picture of Big Big Wolf’s family of four, smiling with all the sheep in Yangcun standing in front of the Wolf Fort, touched many people.
This is the youth of a generation, the childhood memories of a generation!
The story of the wolf catching the sheep has come to an end. In the future, it will not be the wolf catching the sheep, but the cooperation of the wolf and the sheep.
How can the audience remain indifferent to this situation?
Gu Miao and Ma Kui were surprised by the audience’s reaction to the setting of the easter egg at the end of the film. They didn’t expect the audience to be so calm.
I thought it would be sprayed.
Unexpectedly, after the Easter egg was exposed, the whole network was remembering the former “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”, lamenting the passing of youth, but few people came to criticize the animation production team.
why?
Reading it carefully, Gu Miao figured it out after netizens left their comments in the comment section of the movie “Sheep Eating and Eating”.
The audience is not stupid.
Since the fourth season of TV, that is, “Wonderful Ideas of Pleasant Goat”, everyone has been keenly aware that Pleasant Goat, a once brilliant animation IP, may be about to transform.
Everyone can see the reason. If Pleasant Goat continues to follow the old path, the ratings will drop from season to season, and the decline is already obvious.
In order to change, it is necessary to innovate the content.
So in the fourth season, everyone can intuitively feel that the “conflict” between Big Big Wolf and Pleasant Goat is not so obvious.
Even most of the time, these two people cooperate more, and the confrontation becomes less.
“Wolf catches sheep” is a thing of the past.
Although everyone misses the former Pleasant Goat very much, they can also understand Wanbao’s “transformation” decision, so the reaction to the group photo at the end of the easter egg was not so intense.
“It’s a good thing, and it’s a bad thing.”
Gu Miao sighed.
The advantage is that the animation production team has gained the understanding of the fans, so they can safely and boldly carry out transformation and reform, and make drastic innovations in “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”.
The bad thing is that after these fans say “my youth is over”, it means…
They don’t care so much about the animation of “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Big Wolf”, and even from then on, they may not watch another episode of Pleasant Goat, at most they will buy a ticket to watch the theatrical version.
“No way…”
Ma Kui also said helplessly: “It has been five years. No one will live forever when they are young, but there will always be people who are young.”
It is sad and sad to leave these old fans, but there is really no way. After five years, the old fans have all grown up.
It’s time to let go, too.
Doing this is good for the production team of Pleasant Goat and for the fans, it is actually a kind of relief.
Fans have nothing to worry about, they can focus on life and study in the future, and the production team can break through and stand up again to welcome the second batch of “teenage” audiences.
“I know, but seeing the fans who supported us so much say “my youth is over”, I feel sad…”
Gu Miao is not an emotional person, but at this time, to be honest, he really blamed himself.
The transition decision was made by him.
Although he has never regretted it, it is impossible for him to say that he has no emotions at all when he sees the old fans who once supported Wanbao so much.
But it doesn’t help to blame yourself.
Still what Ma Kui said, animation is like this, there are always newcomers coming and old people leaving.
Some animated series with a relatively short life cycle may not be anything yet.
But like “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”, “Bear Infested”, “Pokémon”, and “Yu-Gi-Oh”, animation series with a long life cycle, this kind of time is the most uncomfortable.
Make an analogy.
Gu Miao is the class teacher, and the fans are the students in the class.
As the head teacher, he has led the class for three years, getting to know each student’s parents, understanding each student’s personality and preferences, and getting along very well with them.
But three years later, he is still the class teacher, but the students have graduated, and they will always face separation…
Nothing to do!
These four words are the portrayal of Gu Miao’s heart at this moment. He knows that this is a normal “reincarnation of old and new”, but he just can’t accept it emotionally.
Similarly, fans can’t accept it.
No one likes separation, but it is inevitable. Because children will grow up too, it is impossible to live in that carefree and childlike age forever.
“Think the best…”
“Our movie is a hit! The box office broke 50 million on the premiere day. Isn’t that worth celebrating?” Ma Kui said with a strong smile.
“Is this a parting gift?”
Gu Miao’s expression was a bit bitter, because he knew that most of the box office came from those old fans who wanted to use this movie to say goodbye to “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”.
Otherwise, how could the box office be so high?
According to the actual film quality, the box office of the first premiere is at most 30 million, and it cannot be more.
It’s still an easter egg at the end of the movie, which added more than 20 million yuan to the premiere box office score of “Sheep Eating and Elated” out of thin air, otherwise it would not be so high.
But this is also a good thing.
The films released this Spring Festival file generally have a poor reputation.
As the only movie with a strong reputation, it is also a family animation movie that is very suitable for the “Spring Festival file”.
Regardless of the box office of more than 50 million yuan on the premiere day, it can only be ranked second in the box office list for the same period during the Spring Festival.
But what is the filming rate of “Sheep Elated”? What is the filming rate of the first film “Havoc in Heaven”?
The gap is obvious!
Unsurprisingly, starting from the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the theaters will transfer the rehearsal of “Havoc in Heaven” to “Sheep Elated”.
After all, theaters take about the same proportion, why not show more popular and profitable movies?
There is only one situation where the film screening rate will not increase, and that is that the proportion of bills promised to theaters in “Havoc in Heaven” is much higher than that of “Sheep Elated”.
But this is unlikely.
Attendance rate is here. A little calculation with a calculator will show that even if the proportion of “Sheep Elated” is low, the attendance rate is too high, and the theater is still making a lot of money.
The result is exactly the same.
On the third day of junior high school, major theaters across the country have adjusted their schedules for the Spring Festival and the release of each film.
By virtue of the box office of over 100 million in the first and second days of the first and second day of the new year, and the advantage of super high attendance rate, it succeeded in having the last laugh and became the biggest winner of this Spring Festival stall.
The box office has completely taken off!
Thanks to the rapid increase in the screening rate, the already well-received “Sheep Elated” really skyrocketed. After the box office was released in the first week, many people were dumbfounded.
357 million yuan!
Breaking through 100 million in two days and 350 million in four days, if this continues, will it become the second “Riding the Horse”?
Such an exaggerated box office performance has really shocked many people, but considering that the previous summer vacation “Riding the Horse” was also outrageous, everyone can accept it.
At least according to the current box office trend, although “Sheep Eating and Eating” is very popular, it is unlikely to break through the 1 billion box office.
After all, it was almost a bit meaningless.
Although the box office champion of this Spring Festival stall, it is likely to be awarded to “Sheep Elated”.
However, the movie “Sheep’s Emotional Emotion” is not very popular. The most discussed and most talked about movie on the Internet is the “freaky” variety show “Where’s Grandpa?”
Can you believe it?
Such a stinky variety show freak that was criticized by the whole network, disgusted by passers-by, and its reputation has fallen to the bottom. The box office results in the first week of its premiere are only less than 100 million lower than that of “Sheep with Elated Eyes”?
“Really abstract!”
Gu Miao had nothing to say, this was the first time he felt that those old seniors were right to criticize him, but his little Gu was just a layman and didn’t understand the film market at all.
An extended reality TV show can earn hundreds of millions at the box office. Who can understand this?
Fortunately, he is engaged in animation.
If he was a director of a live-action film and television drama, he tried his best to make a movie, begged his grandpa to sue his grandma, and finally made it to the theater, but lost to this thing…
Mom!
Then he probably couldn’t sleep well for several days, and dreamed at night thinking, where did he lose?
To be reasonable, “Sheep Eating Emotionally” won the box office champion of the Spring Festival, which may be a good thing for others.
After all, losing to Gu Sanshui, losing to Pleasant Goat’s “Benmingnian” big movie, at least he can still keep his mind, losing to this smashing variety show movie, that’s really…
Dao heart is broken!
Some people say, luckily my childhood was not Pleasant Goat! And I often say that I have always liked Pleasant Goat, once and now!
