Motion light wave biubiubiu~

Concentrate energy from the whole body to the arms, with the arms at a 90-degree angle, in the form of high-calorie rays, supplemented by high-voltage currents in light waves, and emit the energy in the body to injure the enemy.

If the sand sculpture value of this action is 10 points, then with the same “haha” magic laugh of the dynamic superman, the sand sculpture value can instantly reach 100 points.

Put your left hand into a fist on your chest, raise your right hand obliquely towards the sky, and let out a hearty laugh after winning…

Too magical!

Gu Miao was in the company several times, and saw her sand sculpture employees gesturing in this pose in the office during working hours, and laughed shamelessly.

How dare they?

Doing this kind of thing in front of colleagues in the company, is there no one he cares about in this world? Is this the so-called “social cow”?

“The Second Second Disease is like this.”

For this kind of strange performance art, Lao Zhang doesn’t care, because he has seen more abstract scenes than this before.

Having been in Wanbao for a long time, especially dealing with animators like Wanbao Animation, what kind of sand sculpture chum has he never seen?

What is a mere dynamic superman?

Two years ago, when “Sailor Moon” was on the air, he also saw someone in the company cosplay Sailor Moon and asked a colleague to help shave his legs!

“It’s not bad!”

Gu Miao wondered: “Our company’s front desk girls, don’t they often go to comic exhibitions to make guest appearances in cosplay! Last year at the comic exhibition, I took a photo with them…”

“What a fart!” Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and said, “Can you imagine that the person in Cos Sailor Moon is actually an older male animator in his thirties?”

“Well…”

Gu Miao was startled at first, but then she suddenly reacted and said, “Do you have a photo? Please privately copy it to me, I want to see it too.”

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!

Finally, he knew why the company gathered so many sand sculptures and old Zhang who suffered from the second illness, and did not respond to Mr. Gu’s request. He rolled his eyes and said, “Let’s skip this topic first…”

“Let’s talk about the animated movie “The Lion King” directed by Du Hao!”

“What happened to The Lion King?”

Gu Miao has been busy cutting the material of “Bear Infested” recently, but she didn’t pay much attention to Du Hao, and didn’t know what happened.

“No big problem, it’s just that Du Hao told me that the assistant director sent by Hollywood had a conflict with him on the production direction, and the two had a very unpleasant fight.”

Lao Zhang explained: “According to Du Hao’s idea, since the film is adapted from “Hamlet” The Prince’s Revenge, it should be produced in the form of a musical.”

“musical?”

Gu Miao pondered for a while, then nodded and said: “This idea is not a problem, it can indeed be done.”

“But the assistant director sent by Hollywood didn’t agree with turning the film into a musical, and even said some very exaggerated words, questioning Du Hao’s professionalism and authority.”

Old Zhang spread his hands.

Now the problem is obvious.

Du Hao is the director appointed by Wanbao, and Wanbao is also the main investor and producer of the film. His position is obviously unshakable.

The assistant director sent by Hollywood is essentially just a “supervisor”.

He intervened wantonly in film production, questioned Du Hao’s professionalism as a director, and shaken the director’s authority in the entire production team, which had touched Du Hao’s bottom line.

“And then?” Gu Miao asked.

If it was just a big quarrel between the two, it probably wouldn’t have spread to Gu Miao. Since Lao Zhang mentioned this, it means there will be accidents in the future.

“Then, Du Hao drove this guy away in a fit of anger.”

Old Zhang curled his lips and said: “Don’t tell me, Du Hao really didn’t handle this matter properly. He also invested money in Hollywood, and if he said he would drive him away, he would drive him away without giving him any face.”

Gu Miao did not speak.

To be honest, with this kind of conflict, if he were Du Hao, he would probably drive him away directly.

After all, you are an assistant director, and you are still a “nominal” assistant director with no real power. Why should you dictate the content of my work? I gave you a face, right?

Chasing people away is no problem.

Gu Miao didn’t feel angry, he was just thinking about how to give a reasonable explanation to his Hollywood partners after driving him away.

After all, people also invested money.

For the sake of the dollar, you have to tell the other party, and drive people away without even saying hello. It is not polite to spread the word.

But then again.

Before that, Gu Miao still had to figure out what was the cause of the conflict between the two? Why did Du Hao insist on turning the film into a musical?

“I know the musical theater model, but does he really think that an animated film like “The Lion King” can be related to musical theater?”

“I have no idea.”

Old Zhang shook his head first, and then added: “However, Du Hao told me that he thinks “The Lion King” is very suitable for Broadway musicals.”

“Broadway?”

The more Gu Miao listened, the more puzzled she became. Isn’t this an animated movie? Why is it still related to Broadway?

Seeing Lao Zhang, he couldn’t tell what the stakes were. Gu Miao thought it would be better to call Du Hao and ask him what he thought.

Du Hao is probably a bit busy.

Gu Miao called at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, but he didn’t see it until 8 o’clock in the evening, and called back to give an answer.

“The original work of “Hamlet” is a play, but why can’t the adaptation of “The Lion King” be a musical?”

“The principle is this principle…”

Gu Miao hesitated: “But there are still many differences between Hamlet and the Lion King, right?”

“It’s fine if the core is the same.” Du Hao said without hesitation, “Actually, I’m planning to wait until the movie is released, and arrange for someone to make an adaptation of “The Lion King” to be performed on Broadway!”

“It can be done, but since this movie is a musical, what about your music?”

Gu Miao had a headache.

Du Hao is determined to make a musical, and he must support and encourage him. But for the music of this movie, Wanbao really can’t help.

Don’t ask why…

The movie “The Lion King” project has aimed at the global market since its inception. As for the music, it must be mainly European and American style music.

Master Cao is not so capable!

Based on this premise, if Du Hao wants to make great original music for “The Lion King”, he needs to find someone himself.

But the question is, can he find the right person? Such a large investment cannot be fooled by just looking for someone.

“President Gu, don’t worry!”

Du Hao said very proudly on the phone: “In fact, I have already found someone, and the first song has already been created.”

《Hakuna Matata》!

The name looks weird, and it sounds even weirder, because this sentence is originally a native African language, so it’s normal to not understand it.

But the song is pretty good…
