My Animation Era

It is not very difficult to find out the specific release date of a movie.

After all, if you don’t ask around, people will spread the word all over the world, eager to let everyone know when the movie will be released.

So Du Hao found out without much effort that the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" is expected to be released at the end of July, to be precise, within the last week of July.

This also means...

According to the instructions of the director, in order to avoid the screening period of "The Bear Soldier", the film needs to be released one month in advance. Du Hao quickly set a date.

June 26th.

This day is not a holiday, not even a weekend. It was just chosen to be released on this day simply to avoid Wolf Warrior 2 being released a month later.

Regarding this date selection, Wanbao has no internal opinions, but in the eyes of ordinary passers-by, it seems very strange.

"Why not wait a few more days?"

Some fans frowned, not understanding the significance of this time choice. It’s already the end of June anyway, wouldn’t it be better to wait two more days until the children’s final exams are over before releasing it?

This release time is terrible. The core audience, the children, are all preparing for their final exams, so how can they have time to watch the movie?

As for the passerby audience?

Please!

Everyone has to go to work on weekdays! It’s not like everyone is free to go out on weekends, so why not choose a weekend for the premiere?

Outside fans simply don't understand Wanbao's idea of ​​avoiding Wolf Warrior 2. This also leads to the fact that in the eyes of ordinary passers-by, the release date of the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was very bad.

And this is indeed the case.

If he had no choice, Du Hao really didn't want to choose such an embarrassing release date, but he had no choice. After all, this was Mr. Gu's instruction.

…

The calendar turns a new page.

As the time came to the 26th, under the spotlight, the first major movie in the Bear series, "The Bear Soldier", officially started its nationwide release tour.

The theater chain gave Wanbao a lot of face.

The just-released "Bear Raiders" has unsurprisingly received a high film ranking rate, which is half as much as the second place.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Good thing because, who doesn't like a high film schedule? As the movie schedule goes up, the movie box office will naturally go up too!

The bad thing is that it is really awkward to release it at this time. Behind the super high film schedule, there is also a disappointing attendance rate.

Hu Yingjun, who had just had dinner and was going to watch a movie with his son Tutu, found that tickets for "The Bear Soldier", which had just been released, were very easy to buy.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to buy tickets for a popular movie like this that has just been released. If you want to buy it, you have to buy it a few hours later, or even for the screening the next day.

But "Raiders of the Bear" is different.

Hu Yingjun did not book tickets in advance. He brought his son to the cinema at 8 o'clock, but the tickets he bought were for the 20:15 screening.

What does this mean?

This shows that the attendance rate is not that high and the tickets cannot be sold out at all. Even if you go to the theater temporarily, you can buy the show that will be ten minutes later.

"Maybe it's because we don't have a holiday."

As a parent, Hu Yingjun guessed the reason why the premiere performance of "Secret Bear Soldier" was not very optimistic.

In the past few days, primary and secondary schools across the country are holding final exams. Children are cramming for the happiness of summer vacation, for fear of not doing well in the exam and being beaten by co-ed doubles.

Under such circumstances, the cinema has given a super high schedule of films, so it is no wonder that the attendance rate is not low...

It will be normal in two days.

By early July, when most school exams are over and the summer vacation really begins, attendance rates are expected to improve.

However, this has nothing to do with Hu Yingjun and his son. Although their son Tutu is usually naughty and mischievous, his academic performance is still good, and he ranks among the top ten in his grade every time he takes an exam.

Hu Yingjun didn't worry about Tutu's final exam results at all. He was even worried that he was too stressed, so he took him out to watch a movie to relieve his mood.

"Say yes first!"

After checking the tickets and walking into the screening room, Hu Yingjun said to his son: "Perform well in the exam tomorrow and don't let it slip, otherwise your mother will not let me go easily."

Tutu will have his final exam tomorrow and forget about it if he doesn't study hard at night. Hu Yingjun also takes him out to watch a movie, which makes his wife Zhang Xiaoli very dissatisfied.

Hu Yingjun also tried hard to convince his wife, and even wrote a letter of guarantee.

This also puts a lot of pressure on him.

It would be fine if her son performed as usual and his grades were as good as ever, but if his son's final grades dropped, Xiaoli would 100% blame him.

"Don't worry, Dad!"

Tutu's pair of ears kept twisting and turning, and she said confidently: "How can it be possible for me to fail in this mere exam?"

"It's best..."

After following the instructions on the ticket stub to find their seats, the movie officially started shortly after the father and son sat down.

The familiar dragon mark.

The familiar Wanbao animation logo.

Familiar...eh? Isn’t this the Big Bear movie? Why didn’t Xiong Da Xiong Er and Bald Qiang appear in the opening scene, but two new characters appeared instead?

There was pouring rain, lightning and thunder.

A red car was driving on a forest road. The monkey and the dog, who were responsible for transporting the mysterious box, had a quarrel in the car because they were competing for credit.

During the quarrel, the vehicle lost control and skidded, crashing into a big tree on the side of the road. The box originally placed in the vehicle also slid deep into the forest...

"What's in the box?"

When they saw this, all the audiences in the cinema, regardless of gender, were all curious about what was in the box.

Before they could think too much, the main perspective was quickly given to the long-awaited Brother Qiang. As the protagonist of the movie, Bald Qiang finally appeared.

Li Papi sent Brother Qiang a logging tool box, which contained many advanced logging tools.

"This box..."

The moment Hu Yingjun saw the logging tool box, he guessed what would happen next.

After all, this toolbox is exactly the same as the mysterious box delivered by Damahou and Ergou just now. Just from the appearance, there is no difference at all.

By chance, the mysterious box had just slipped into the depths of the forest, and Bald Qiang and Xiong Daxiong Er were located in the depths of the forest.

"Speaking of which, this is too coincidental."

Hu Yingjun couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Xiong Daxiong Er following Bald Qiang and blocking Bald Qiang who wanted to chop down trees in the heavy rain. By chance, the mysterious box that fell into the forest was exchanged with Bald Qiang's logging tool box.

He had guessed this when he saw that the two boxes looked almost identical.

After all, this kind of plot has appeared in many film and television works, so children find it strange.

It's just that he guessed the process, but not the ending.

Based on the title of the movie "Treasure Bear", Hu Yingjun thought that this mysterious box might contain treasure or a treasure map.

Isn’t that what regular movies do?

The protagonist accidentally obtains a treasure, which leads to a fight between the villains. Both sides chase and I escape. In the end, the hero saves the treasure and prevents it from falling into the hands of evil forces.

Or, the protagonist accidentally obtains a treasure map and goes to search for the treasure based on the clues of the treasure map. However, he encounters the interference of a mysterious black hand. After an exciting chase and fight, the protagonist finds the treasure and successfully takes the beauty home.

Treasure is just a nickname.

This treasure or treasure, under normal circumstances, is a variety of priceless cultural relics and antiques, or jade and jewelry.

Gold or something, the quality is still a bit lacking.

Just when Hu Yingjun thought that the mysterious box contained antiques, the scene after opening the box suddenly surprised him.

Cultural relics and antiques? Jade jewelry?

Not at all!

What is contained in the mysterious box is actually a little girl, a living person!

…

Dudu's arrival gave Bald Qiang's logging cabin a little more popularity.

But Bald Qiang didn't want to keep her and planned to send her to the police station. However, the police had already learned that Dudu had been kidnapped, so Bald Qiang naturally took the blame for being a "human trafficker."

After finally escaping the hunt, Bald Qiang had no choice but to take Dudu home, make her happy, sew her clothes, and buy her milk powder and diapers...

It has to be said that Bald Qiang is also a good man similar to Big Big Wolf. He can go to the hall and the kitchen, and he is also good at taking care of children.

But no one expected that Xiong Daxiong Er, who suspected that he was planning to destroy the forest again, broke into the cabin and not only messed up Bald Qiang's house, but also took Dudu away with him.

The warm relationship between Xiong Daxiong Er and Dudu, as well as the butterflies flying around, greatly shocked the audience.

This scene is simply beautiful.

But the beauty is only temporary. Bald Qiang had a premonition that something was not going to happen. He came to the tree house where Xiong Daxiong Er lived and found Dudu as expected.

But at this time Dudu's high fever persisted.

Dudu's illness made many viewers worried, and the subsequent appearance of the monkey and the two dogs gave everyone an ominous premonition.

Fortunately, Bald Qiang and Xiong Daxiong Er got along well with each other, which was also noticed by the monkey and Ergou, so they mistakenly thought that Xiong Daxiong Er was Bald Qiang's pet in captivity and did not dare to take action.

"He has two bears as pets! And... they have great firepower!"

"Trash, you can't even handle a small thing!"

After hearing this, the boss behind the scenes reprimanded Da Mahou and Er Gou, and then sent out an elite arresting team.

Seeing this scene, although everyone was worried about Dudu's safety, the two comedy characters of Da Mahou and Er Gou still made many people laugh.

Got two bears as pets?

Great firepower?

Good guy! Did these two people make a mistake? Are they really describing a bald man? Why does it sound as scary as an African warlord?

Of course, the real Bald Qiang is not as powerful as the one described by Da Mahou and Er Gou. Even with Xiong Da Xiong Er as his helper, he is no match for the boss of M Group.

But here's the surprise.

The boss of M Group turned out to be Dudu's only living relative. He kidnapped Dudu in order to get the "most precious wealth" left by his deceased father.

What is the most valuable possession?

Different people have different opinions.

Perhaps in the eyes of the boss of M Group, the most valuable wealth left by the old man must be a huge amount of money and priceless treasures.

But when he opened the safe and saw the wealth left by the old man, he was stunned.

Dolls, pencil cases...

A letter left to Dudu...

There were not many things in the safe, but none of them were valuable, which made the boss of M Group very angry when his hopes failed.

Love and affection are our most precious wealth!

With the arrest of the man behind the scenes, scenes of the old man and Dudu, and the old man and the boss of M Group getting along when they were young appeared on the screen, and many viewers showed pensive expressions.

Especially for those who lack care for their families and loved ones because they are usually busy with work, their hearts will undoubtedly be touched the most when they see the end of the film.

Among them was Gu Miao.

He was one of the first people to come to watch the movie with his wife and children. After all, it was the first theatrical version of the "Bear Bears" series. It would be unreasonable for him not to come and support it.

He didn't think much about it before coming here, he just thought it was to cheer up Du Hao to gain popularity.

But after watching the movie, he fell silent.

He already knew the plot of the movie, but knowing the plot didn't mean that he wasn't touched by it at all after watching the movie.

In fact, because he himself is the boss of M Group, after watching the movie, his heart was touched much more strongly than others.

"sorry!"

"Why are you talking about this..."

Suddenly being hugged by her husband, Coco heard the guilt in his tone, smiled and comforted: "You wrote the script yourself, why are you reading the script to make yourself depressed?"

"I didn't think much about it when I wrote it. It was just for the plot of the movie."

"what about now?"

"Now I suddenly feel a little sorry for you and the child..."

Gu Miao felt a little ashamed.

Over the years, he has been busy working all day and has very little time to spend at home. His children are basically taken care of by his nanny and mother-in-law.

When Xiao Sensen celebrated his birthday last year, he was not at home, and when Lao Gu celebrated his birthday, he was not at home either.

Seriously speaking, he sacrificed his family for his job. He only focused on business and making money, but he inadvertently ignored the feelings of his parents, wife, children and relatives.

This is what he did wrong.

Gu Miao could still talk his way out of mistakes and omissions at work, but in this matter, he couldn't insist that he was right.

If you need to admit it, admit it. As for whether to correct it or not...

This was not something Gu Miao could decide. He wanted to make corrections, put as little energy and time into work as possible, and spend more time with his family.

But the question is, can Wanbao Animation really operate normally without him? Which one of Huang Kun, Ma Kui, Hou Bin and Guo Hongwei can take over his responsibility?

"There is no successor!"

When walking out of the cinema, Gu Miao was still sighing, it would be great if Wanbao Animation could have a qualified successor.

This successor does not refer to the successor in animation production.

In fact, the most important thing that Gu Miao wants for his successor is not animation production ability, but a decision-maker with long-term strategic vision and excellent judgment ability.

Such people are hard to find.

I don't expect to have the same level of strategic vision and judgment as Gu Miao. After all, how can normal people compare with cheating players?

But you have to have at least half of his vision, right?

If you don't even have this ability, how can you tell which animation will be popular? Which animation will win?
