My Animation Era

When he was drafting the project for "The Adventures of Uncle Long", Gu Miao had thought about whether he should play with Uncle Long and the others and make a guest appearance as a certain character in the animation?

His options are wide.

Except for some special characters, such as Tohru, Dad and Xiaoyu, who are difficult to make guest appearances, other characters are basically fine.

But he thought about it seriously.

The protagonist of this animation is Uncle Long. The original intention is to realize Uncle Long’s cartoon dream. He is the core of the core.

Others can just be green leaves, but if there are too many green leaves that are too dazzling, and even steal the limelight of the protagonist, Uncle Long, that would be unreasonable.

so……

He either doesn't make guest appearances, or he can only choose from marginalized or even rarely seen roles.

In such a role, the Ox Warrior is definitely a good target.

There are a lot of scenes as a bull warrior.

Moreover, Warrior Niu usually hides his true face under a mask. This setting is in line with Gu Miao's wishes, because he does not want the audience to see his face all the time.

Do not misunderstand!

He did this not because he was worried that the audience would cry because of his ugliness, but because he was worried that if they looked at his face for a long time, the audience would gradually forget or even ignore the protagonist Uncle Long.

Low EQ: Afraid of stealing the show!

High emotional intelligence: He is so handsome that he needs a mask to protect himself!

"Alas! It's all my damn, charming, handsomeness and charm that has nowhere to go." Gu Miao touched her cheek and thought narcissistically.

This is what he looks like.

If he were a bit uglier, like Mr. Tan and Mr. Xiao Xiong, he wouldn't have to worry about stealing the spotlight from the protagonist, Uncle Long.

Just when Gu Miao was troubled by her overly handsome face, the outside world also made spicy comments about the latest episode of "The Adventures of Uncle Long".

Jiangchuan Metropolis Daily wrote an article and commented that the animation "The Adventures of Uncle Long" is very popular overseas, which proves the profound foundation of Chinese culture in disguise.

A well-known media person and professor from China Overseas University called on him in an interview: Chinese people, you must be confident! Even foreigners are so obsessed with our Chinese animation. This is a little shock that Chinese culture brings to them!

Cultural export!

This is a word often mentioned when the domestic media and public opinion environment discuss "The Adventures of Uncle Long".

Even in the eyes of many people, the real "cultural export case" should be "The Lion King". After all, this movie is of a much higher grade than "The Adventures of Uncle Long" and its results are more dazzling.

But it's obvious.

The "Western" story told in the movie "The Lion King" is seen by many as a manifestation of admiration for foreigners and is not worthy of being called cultural export.

For true cultural output, you have to watch "The Adventures of Uncle Long"!

After all, this is a Chinese story, not a Hamlet, nor is it a prince's revenge story that has nothing to do with China except for the producer and producer.

…

"Do they care about this? Telling Eastern stories is cultural export, and telling Western stories is worshiping foreigners?" Gu Miao asked in surprise.

"Public opinion is this."

Huang Kun curled his lips and said: "Although many people don't say it with their mouths, they always support the All-China Class in their hearts and pay attention to a pure bloodline."

Is "The Lion King" strong?

Very strong!

A Chinese animated film swept the global market, raking in more than 1 billion U.S. dollars at the box office. It even made nearly 400 million U.S. dollars at the single box office in North America, ranking among the box office champions of animated films in history.

so what?

Although the coach and club owner are Huazi, why are there so many "foreign players" in your team?

No, no, no, your "animal version" of Hamlet is not considered an all-Chinese class, and your bloodline is not pure enough. Even if you win the S crown, you won't get my approval...

That's pretty much it.

Under Huang Kun's interpretation, Gu Miao roughly understood that the reason why some domestic audiences paid close attention to "The Adventures of Uncle Long" was actually the reason why they ignored "The Lion King".

The reason is that the story told in the movie "The Lion King" is too Western and European and American.

In the eyes of many people, this is not considered "domestic animation" at all, but at most an "imported product" covered in a layer of domestic production.

"It's too narrow-minded."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "We use other people's culture to carry it forward. Isn't this a humiliation?"

The reviews of "The Lion King" abroad are much more realistic than those in China! Even the comment section has become a "carnival of insults."

Many foreign netizens have rubbed salt into the wounds of the Chinese people and asked them in a joking manner that "Hamlet" adapted by the Chinese is more popular than the one adapted by our own people. How do you feel?

The people of the country were silent.

Shakespeare and his masterpieces have always been their pride. However, their pride has been adapted so well by a Chinese. What else can they say?

Hard-spoken?

But don't be so harsh. Being harsh won't change the fact that the "Lion King" movie and the "Lion King" stage musical are extremely popular.

Just pretend to be deaf and dumb!

If you don't listen or listen, you are a bastard chanting sutras. No matter how well you adapt it, what does it matter? Anyway, Shakespeare is from our country, the despicable Chinese people can’t even try to steal his nationality!

In Gu Miao's view.

"The Adventures of Uncle Long" is a very good animation, and it does deserve so much praise, but when everyone praises it, the role of "The Lion King" should not be ignored.

Wanbao IP, which has also been ignored by domestic audiences and even regarded as "foreign animation", actually includes "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Same as The Lion King.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are often ignored by everyone and are not even mentioned because of the stories they tell, their special background, and their "ninja" elements.

However, the achievements of this animation, especially in overseas regions, are also very dazzling, and it can be regarded as one of Wanbao's top five animation IPs overseas.

Didn't you expect that?

It can only be said that the general direction of Gu Miao's overseas strategy for Wanbao is not wrong, but it is quite "unpopular" in the eyes of many domestic audiences.

He also expressed his understanding of this.

If he were not the president of Wanbao, but a keyboard warrior who denounced Fang Qiu on the Internet, he would not be able to stand Wanbao's behavior of "repaying him with kindness."

"Forget it, don't mention this."

Anyway, the Wanbao family has a big business. It not only has "The Lion King" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but also "The Adventures of Uncle Long" and "The Little Boss of China". They are all animation produced by the same company, which is not interesting.

Instead of considering whether these things are present or not, it is better to discuss about the magical and magnificent "game" world with motorcycles and beasts that he mentioned before.

This was the main reason why he called Huang Kun to the office and the two discussed behind closed doors.

I wasn't even planning to call him Huang Kun.

But Gu Miao then thought about it. Since Huang Kun had drawn the line drawing of "Thunderbolt" in advance without anyone's guidance, he should have something in his mind.
