My Animation Era

Judging from the rough cut sample alone, the finished effect of the movie "The Bear Soldier" has surpassed 90% of similar animation works.

Gu Miao was very satisfied with this.

It’s true that he has been cultivating Dimension Studio’s 3D animation production capabilities over the years.

In the past, everyone always said that Wanbao was lame. 2D animations are world-renowned, and 3D animations are smelly and rough. Many 3D animations including "Pigman", "Bear Infested", and "Super Beast Arms" have been criticized by the audience. .

Not to mention the general audience.

As the head of Wanbao, Gu Miao actually knows that his own 3D animation has shortcomings, and his business capabilities in this area are far less outstanding than 2D animation.

no way……

Wanbao's 3D animation business mainly relies on Dimension Studio, and the technical level of Dimension Studio has not yet evolved to perfection.

But after watching the sample of the movie "The Bear Soldier", Gu Miao was surprised to find that the technical level of Dimension Studio had unknowingly reached such a high level?

This should be considered world-class!

If you are a bit arrogant, you can definitely claim that Dimension Studio is the world's top 3D animation studio.

However, Gu Miao has always been modest and knows that there are people outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains, so she will not say such words that can easily arouse controversy and criticism.

But let’s be honest.

The progress of Dimension Studio is indeed visible to the naked eye.

Compared with the 3D quality of "Super Beast Arms" and "Pigman", the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" does not look like an animation produced by the same team.

Maybe it's because one is a TV version and the other is a theatrical version, and the standards of fineness and smoothness are different?

All right!

In any case, Gu Miao gained a lot from this trip to the Dimension Studio to inspect the work.

Not only did we see the film samples of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" that far exceeded our expectations, we also saw the technical strength of Dimension Studio that was already a blockbuster.

"correct!"

"Do you know that our company bought the entire rights to the "Superman" series?"

When getting up to leave, Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned her head and asked Du Hao.

"I know!"

"There was a lot of commotion at the time, and media from all over the world were reporting on it. How could I not know about it?"

Du Hao smiled: "I am also a fan of Superman, but I really like Superman. I was stunned for a long time when I first saw the news. I didn't expect that Superman, who is famous at home and abroad, has now become a Chinese citizen."

Foreign fans continued to protest.

As for domestic fans, when they learned that Wanbao bought Superman, they were extremely excited.

He still remembers clearly that at that time, everyone in the circle of friends was forwarding this news. Friends were discussing whether Superman would be played by a Chinese actor after he belonged to Wanbao, and whether Superman's adoptive father would become Chinese.

But he couldn't understand why the good-natured Mr. Gu suddenly mentioned this? Could it be...

"We're getting ready to reboot the Superman franchise!"

Gu Miao confirmed Du Hao's guess, and then continued: "Animation is only the first step. Comics, movies, and TV series are all in our plans."

Movie? !

Du Hao, who had a calm expression on his face, immediately lit up when he heard the word movie and asked, "Is it a big Superman movie?"

"Not just Superman!"

"The original "Superman" series was too large and bloated, and many supporting characters needed to be independent, so these independent supporting characters will also have their own exclusive movies."

At this point, Gu Miao paused for a moment, and then gave an example: "For example... Batman, The Flash, or Wonder Woman?"

"cool!"

"I've wanted to complain for a long time. Weller and Company have stuffed everything into "Superman". Can't they make Batman independent?"

Du Hao danced with excitement and said, "Mr. Gu, your decision will definitely win the support of all Batman fans."

"Haha, what about you?"

"I?"

"Yes! After hearing my plan, are you interested in joining?"

"Yes, of course I'm interested!"

Du Hao said without hesitation: "My childhood dream was to become a superhero like Superman or Batman. It is definitely an honor for me to be able to direct such a movie."

"Don't worry, you must be part of it."

Patting Du Hao's shoulder, Gu Miao said with a smile: "Let's finish the Treasure Hunting Bear Soldier first. I'll let you know the rest."

The reboot plan of the "Superman" series, including independent work on characters such as Batman and The Flash, will be a long and massive project.

Five years!

This is the project duration set by Gu Miao. He plans to use five years to simply sort out and produce the prototype of the DC universe and the stories of the superheroes.

Mardete Comics, George Brooker.

Gu Miao has not forgotten the bad old man he met in North America. The reason why he took over the copyright of Superman was just to compete with this old man!

According to his plan, if everything goes well, Wanbao's superheroes, whether in terms of global popularity or influence, will carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on Mardete comic heroes in five years.

The only problem is.

This long-term plan is likely to have some errors and omissions in the middle, which will eventually lead to the plan being aborted.

And there is another key point, that is, old man George is already this old, and whether he can survive five years is still a question.

By then, Gu Miao would show off her successful superhero IPs such as Superman and Batman in front of him, but the old man would be left with only a tombstone...

That's such a shame!

Thinking of this, Gu Miao suddenly rolled her eyes and came up with a bad idea that was not very authentic, but could disgust old man George.

Mardete Comics Company is the industry leader in North America and even Europe and the United States, and the vast majority of its shares are in the hands of old man George.

But he also has children.

Moreover, it is said that the eldest son of old man George is an ignorant playboy. This kind of person is easy to target and is suitable for making an issue of.

As the saying goes, it doesn't hurt if you sell your father's land.

Old George had a sinister heart and wanted to blackmail Gu Miao. He would rather keep the Mardete comic in his hands than sell it to Wanbao at a low price.

But it's hard to say whether his son also has such vision and judgment.

If something happens to the old man, or he is unable to handle the company's affairs and chooses to delegate power to his son, then Gu Miao will have an opportunity.

"Why do you attach so much importance to it?"

Lao Zhang didn't understand, and felt that there was no need to pay too much attention to superheroes. In his opinion, the right way was to concentrate on adapting web novels.

"You don't understand. We can't win over Penguin if we adapt web novels. They have too many resources. Wanbao's future is not web novel adaptations, but American comics!"

Wanbao has already won DC.

If Mardete, a company that looks like Marvel, is also taken down, it will be equivalent to dominating the American comic superhero landscape.

With this foundation in place, Wanbao will not have to worry about bankruptcy in the next twenty or even thirty years.
