My Animation Era

Speaking of "mobile game linkage", in fact, many games have similar activities when their animations are broadcast.

It impressed Gu Miao deeply, and it can be regarded as one of the more successful works in "Yugaiman", probably the "Pokémon" series.

Of course, this era is relatively early.

The animation-game linkage that is slightly more recent and closer to life may be the "Battle of Two Cities" series of skins launched by League of Legends during the broadcast of the animation "Battle of Two Cities", and the "Battle of Two Cities" of Teamfight Tactics Special edition.

This is pretty good.

After all, a new game version was released specifically for animation, and a set of "animation" series skins were also designed.

But this is not a good reference...

Because in the final analysis, "Angry Birds" and "League of Legends" are not the same type of game at all, and the linkage methods are naturally different.

"You just said that using AR technology to allow players to take photos with animated characters is a good idea!"

Gu Miao pondered: "But it's just a group photo, and I don't think the sense of interaction is very strong. It's better to let players directly control the characters such as Fat Red, Chuck, and Bomb in the animation to pass through AR levels."

"The design of hidden levels can also directly refer to the animation plot. How the animation plot develops, the level will be designed..."

This creates interaction.

After watching the animation, you can go to the game to relive the plot and personally control Fat Hong and other characters to pass through levels.

If gamers want to pass the game, they can also watch the animation and get "know-how to pass the game" through the animation plot.

"This is good! This is good!"

Ma Kui applauded first, feeling very excited about Mr. Gu's suggestion. Then he thought of a key question and suddenly frowned: "But with such a complicated linkage, will the game manufacturers be willing to cooperate with us?"

"If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?" Gu Miao said with a smile, "If you think about it from the other party's perspective, I think they will be happy to cooperate with you."

A win-win situation!

Similar to this kind of linkage, the animation can not only gain the popularity of the game, but the game can also gain the popularity of the animation, which is a good thing for the entire "Angry Birds" IP.

There is no reason to refuse.

If Gu Miao were the boss of a game company, he would probably happily agree to such an application for "mobile game linkage".

After all, the copyright belongs to the company. The other party has worked so hard to promote the game and expand the popularity of the IP. It’s too late to thank him. How could he refuse?

…

It's the end of August.

After nearly a month of screening, as of August 25, the total global box office of the movie "The Lion King" has reached an astonishing height.

$1.094 billion!

Although this box office performance is not comparable to epic blockbusters like Big Boat and Avatar, this is an "animated movie" after all.

There is a separate list for animated movies, and on this list, "The Lion King" dominates the list, ranking first with absolute crushing.

"The Swan Princess" leads the second place with a box office of US$400 million. Such a huge advantage is enough to reflect the amazing success of the animated film "The Lion King"!

By the way...

Even if it is not compared with similar animated movies, but only compared with the many live-action movies produced by Hollywood this year, "The Lion King" is well-deserved at the top of the list.

do not forget!

"The Lion King" has not yet been released in full theaters, and there is still room for continued growth in this box office performance.

Assuming that the final box office is 1.2 billion US dollars, with this result, as long as there are no blockbusters such as "The League of Fathers" and "Avatar" in the second half of the year, we will definitely win the global annual box office championship!

The annual global box office crown!

Once upon a time, this honor has always been for live-action movies and has always been exclusive to Hollywood science fiction blockbusters...

I never expected that an animated film produced by Huaguo Animation Company would be able to touch this honor. No one would have believed this six months ago.

Everyone in Wanbao is extremely excited!

Du Hao, the chief director, is not even as happy as anyone else in front of this eye-catching box office performance.

The happiest person is Master Cao.

He didn't want a salary at the beginning and joined Wanbao with the attitude of helping the poor through technology. His inner vision was to help Wanbao go abroad and become a world-class animation company!

Now five years later, Master Cao is extremely relieved and happy to see Wanbao reaching the top step by step, and is even expected to win the global annual box office championship.

It’s not just Master Cao.

Many people at Wanbao Animation, whether they participated in the production of "The Lion King" or not, felt very proud after learning about this achievement.

"This means that we are a world-class and industry-leading animation company!" Du Hao said with a solemn expression and raised his glass.

"Because I am Gu Miao!"

"Say, I will protect everything that belongs to Wanbao!" Huang Kun also raised his glass.

"Recast...ahem! I've mixed up my lines, and my lines should be considered successful until I retire!" Ma Kui clinked glasses with everyone, and then said with a smile.

This guy is really unreliable!

Gu Miao rolled his eyes, feeling very dissatisfied with Ma Kui's way of ruining the atmosphere, but he didn't criticize anything. After all, this was a celebration banquet, not a company meeting.

There are also media reporters here!

If no outsider had criticized Ma Kui for his lack of ambition, he would have given him a kick to let him know what love from Mr. Gu meant.

"Pity……"

After putting down his wine glass, Du Hao, as the protagonist of this celebration banquet, said with a little regret: "MGM didn't send anyone to attend. I still want to ask them in front of them: Do you still think I don't understand movies?"

"Please spare them!" Gu Miao said with a smile, "I learned that the box office of "The Lion King" exceeded 1 billion, and now they are hiding in some corner and wailing in pain."

meet as planned.

If the global box office of the movie "The Lion King" exceeds US$1 billion, the 5:5 share that MGM would have received would instantly become a 6:4 share.

I lost so much all of a sudden, it would be strange if I didn’t feel distressed!

However, this is also due to their lack of foresight. At first, they thought that this clause was Wanbao's "idiot dream". What animated movie can exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars at the box office?

All I can say is that things are unpredictable.

MGM suffered heavy losses due to this clause and was depressed and unhappy. It was understandable that he refused to attend the celebration banquet.

Gu Miao didn't care.

Love comes or not, anyway, MGM will have nothing to do with the follow-up to "The Lion King". Such a painless way of protest is meaningless to him.

If I have to say it, not coming is actually a good thing.

After all, if MGM doesn't participate, no one will steal Wanbao's limelight. Media reporters are all rushing to interview director Du Hao and him, the producer.

What is an international superstar?

Being interviewed by a blond and blue-eyed foreign media reporter for the first time, Gu Miao still felt a little nervous. After all, his English was very awkward...

But it’s not a big problem!

Having gone to Hollywood for further studies, English Willigood's Du Hao will take action.
