My Animation Era

Chapter 1084 Guo Mo and Luo Na

The establishment of Wanbao Pictures, as well as the corresponding business adjustments and personnel allocation, have become Gu Miao's biggest concern recently.

Fortunately, he has Lao Zhang as his "good wife", who takes a lot of the work pressure off of him.

Wanbao cannot lose Lao Zhang.

Just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem and the 3D Zone cannot lose Tifa, everyone can function normally without Wanbao, except Lao Zhang.

said with no exaggeration.

With the current scale of Wanbao Group, if there was no qualified housekeeper like Lao Zhang, and Gu Miao was in charge alone, the management system would have collapsed long ago.

Because of this, Gu Miao also considered something in his spare time.

He wants to step down as president!

Lao Zhang has done a good job, and he can completely hand over the position of CEO of the group, and Gu Miao can just take the position of chairman.

not to mention……

Although Lao Zhang currently holds the title of "vice president", he is still doing what a CEO should do. Gu Miao, the president, is more of a hands-off shopkeeper.

Putting Lao Zhang on the throne of CEO can make him more legitimate, and at the same time free Gu Miao so that he will no longer be bothered by all kinds of trivial matters.

"If I were Bruce Wayne, then you would be my butler Alfred!"

Gu Miao once used Alfred in "Batman" to describe the importance of Lao Zhang to him, and this sentence was indeed what he felt.

Without the silent support of Butler behind the scenes, can Wayne really become Batman by himself?

Gu Miao thinks it's not possible.

In the same way, without Lao Zhang's silent support behind him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to produce various excellent animation works. In addition to meetings every day, he reviews and approves various documents.

"Congratulations, you got a promotion and a salary increase!"

After telling him the news that Lao Zhang was promoted to CEO of the group, Gu Miao clapped her hands in congratulations and said, "How is it? Do you feel very happy? Do you have the urge to die for your confidant?"

"Sorry, no..."

Lao Zhang said without changing his expression: "You know, I am a good man who takes care of his family! Being a vice president has made it difficult for me to take care of my family, and becoming a CEO directly breaks the balance."

"Okay, stop pretending, your grin is almost reaching the back of your ears!"

"If you're still not satisfied with your promotion and salary increase, how about I not give you a promotion at all and continue to let you use the vice president's money to do the CEO's job?" Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said.

"No, really don't..."

Lao Zhang's face suddenly changed, and he quickly tried to dissuade him: "Aren't I just following the usual rules and being a little pretentious?"

"Where does this convention come from?"

"Didn't those ancient emperors put on a good show with their ministers before ascending the throne?" Lao Zhang explained.

Gu Miao: "..."

Good guy!

Letting you be the CEO does not mean that you will ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor. Why are you still trying to make concessions by learning allusions?

Lao Zhang Chunchun is filling the cup!

His work ability has been recognized by Mr. Gu, and he has become the CEO of Wanbao, a Fortune 500 company. He has reached the pinnacle of his life. It is impossible to say that he is unhappy.

Becoming a CEO is the ultimate dream of a worker!

Having reached this point, he should be regarded as a working-class emperor. After all, based on annual salary and dividends, there are really not many working-class workers whose income can match that of Lao Zhang.

Yes, Lao Zhang has dividend stocks.

The vice-presidents of Wanbao, including Ma Kui, whom Gu Miao disliked so much and often whipped and trampled, actually had a certain proportion of dividend-paying stocks.

This should be considered an industry practice.

Without giving any real benefits, who would be willing to bind this kind of talent and still receive a dead salary at this level?

However, people like Zhang Makui and Huang Kun only received fictitious shares. They only enjoyed dividend rights and voting rights, but did not have transfer rights or inheritance rights. When they left the company, the company would redeem them at a certain valuation.

Of course, retirement doesn’t count.

If you work at Wanbao until you retire, the company does not need to redeem it. It can be directly converted into normal shares, which can be transferred and inherited. The rights should be regarded as the benefits of so many years of hard work.

Just a quick mention.

Although most of the shares of Wanbao Group are in the hands of the founder, Gu Miao, Mr. Tan and Mr. Xiao Xiong also hold small shares, which can be regarded as a "cross-shareholding" to deepen the cooperative relationship.

This is just like if a certain mobile phone manufacturer buys a small stake in a certain chip factory, it can claim that the chip is "jointly developed".

True joint research and development!

Little Bear can also claim that its own Funny Animation is the producer of many of Wanbao's popular animations.

However, he was not so shameless and felt that saying so would only add to the laughter. Although he did have Wanbao shares, the amount was too small.

The news that Lao Zhang was promoted to the CEO of the group was first announced to the public through a board of directors document signed by Gu Miao and passed to each subsidiary department.

Most people are calm.

After all, the position of CEO has nothing to do with grassroots employees like them, so what? Do you still expect that changing the CEO will give you a salary increase?

But Ma Kui was very dissatisfied. He said that he was the second prince, and his father was simply confused. He could understand the throne being passed to the kindergarten prince Gu Sen, but how could he pass the throne to the third prince Lao Zhang?

"The paper discusses martial arts. In what way am I inferior to him?"

"You're not as handsome as him!"

Gu Miao chewed gum and replied without looking back: "I think your appearance will damage the company's image if I let you be the CEO."

"You are biased. I am very handsome. When I was young, I was a well-known handsome young man from all over the country!"

Ma Kui said angrily: "Besides, Mr. Gu, how can you judge a person's ability based only on his appearance?"

"Do you still have management skills?!"

Glancing at this guy, Gu Miao cursed angrily: "Do you think I'm blind? You can be a CEO if you want, just go back and study for a business administration degree again!"

Ma Kui had nothing to say.

It's been so many years since he graduated. It's probably too late to go back and retake it now.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t be the CEO. Lao Zhang is just being arrogant for a while.

When Prince Gu Sen takes over the throne, will he have to give up his position sooner or later? When the time comes, how can he lose the benefit of being the prince's companion?

"I asked you to help me pick up the child. Where did you think of it?"

Calling her son, who was carrying a small schoolbag, to her side, Gu Miao touched his head and asked, "Uncle Ma came to pick you up from school today. Are you happy?"

"happy!"

Xiao Sensen said happily: "I like Uncle Ma. He bought me a lot of delicious food and took me to ride a bumper car..."

"Okay Ma Kui!"

Gu Miao admired: "I'm looking down on you even if I call you a flatterer. How can you bribe such a young child?"

"How can you call it a bribe? This is clearly to establish a relationship in advance and prepare for the prince to rule in person in the future!" Ma Kui said seriously.

"Okay, let's go."

Gu Miao covered her forehead. If Coco hadn't had something to do with her father-in-law and mother-in-law today, and Lao Gu hadn't come back from the field, how could he have asked Ma Kui to pick up the child for him?

learn from mistakes!

After this lesson, he would never let Ma Kui get close to his son no matter what he said.

This hair-picking thing is simply poisonous. If he is allowed to come into contact with Xiao Sensen again, Gu Miao really doubts that he will instill some outrageous theories into his son.

After driving away the candy-like Ma Kui, Gu Miao did not rush to take her son home. Instead, she gave him a mobile phone and asked him to play games on the sofa next to him.

As for Gu Miao herself, she invited several core screenwriters from Wanbao Animation to discuss the animation "Martin's Morning".

"First of all, let me be clear. Martin's transformation is an uncontrollable transformation. That is to say, Martin himself does not know what he will become."

Gu Miao gave the setting idea based on the original animation she had watched: "Secondly, Martin's transformation will not only change himself, but also the people or background around him."

"Does it affect other people?"

One screenwriter nodded in approval and said, "Then the story will be easy to write. Just write an interesting story based on the characters or identities that change every day."

Previously, when we learned about the animation idea of ​​"Martin's Morning" from Mr. Gu, everyone was worried about how to develop the story after Martin transformed into a different identity or species.

Well now, Martin's transformation not only changes himself, but also the world and other people, so that's easy to handle.

"Yes."

Gu Miao nodded and said, "I think so too. If Martin transforms alone, it will be more difficult for the story to unfold."

That's why there is a supporting setting that once Martin's identity changes, the whole world changes drastically.

besides.

Martin's transformation also has another supporting setting that is not very obvious, but is indeed crucial: no matter what he becomes, others will take it for granted!

for example.

When Martin turns into a little dragon, even if he goes to school normally, no one will find it strange. At most, they will ask him some questions out of curiosity.

Good friends Guo Mo and Luo Na will even praise: "You are so cool today!"

This is very BUG!

You know, Martin transforms every day. Except for some relatively normal identities and roles that can be regarded as cosplay, most of the other transformations are "extraordinary" or "alien" images.

Under such circumstances, the people around him, including Martin's parents and friends, can always maintain a calm attitude. This is the most incredible thing about animation.

It can be said……

Martin transforms in front of this point every day, which is not particularly outrageous. What's really outrageous is that when you are surrounded by a guy who transforms every day, you actually feel normal?

When he said this, Gu Miao suddenly discovered that the two supporting characters, Guo Mo and Luo Na, were well portrayed.

Especially Guo Mo.

Martin's classmate and best friend would squat in front of Martin's house every day waiting for him to go to school with him. When they met, he would always praise him like "You are so cool today." No matter what Martin became, he would always be by his side...

Damn it!

Gu Miao was so envious of this kind of brotherhood.

When he was a child and watched the cartoon "Martin's Morning", he only envied Martin for having such and such super powers. It would be great if he also had them.

But now, what Gu Miao envies is not Martin's various superpowers, but Guo Mo and Luo Na who will always be by his side.

The older you get, the more you look at things from a different perspective.

Not only Gu Miao felt this way, but also the screenwriters who he brought together to discuss the plot settings also felt this way. Guo Mo and Luo Na were so good.

Having such two good friends is Martin's greatest luck, and it is also the most enviable thing for others.

"These two characters must be well portrayed. I hope to see the interaction between Martin and his partners, rather than Martin's one-man show." Gu Miao warned.

This is not selfish.

Even if he has no interest in Guo Mo and Luo Na, just to make "Martin's Morning" more attractive, Guo Mo and Luo Na deserve the attention of the production team.

One-man shows are so boring.

The Internet article pretends to be cool and slaps you in the face, but you have to find a villain to tiptoe! Martin transforms into all kinds of strange creatures. If he didn't have one or two partners around him and relied on him to perform alone, the plot would be very boring.

"The story is of a unit drama nature."

Gu Miao first set the main tone for the animation "Martin's Morning" and then added: "But it is not a pure unit drama. There is continuity in many places."

It's similar to a tokusatsu drama.

Martin transforms into a strange creature or identity every day, and then triggers events that are different in every episode.

But apart from that, other backgrounds, including settings, will continue. Just like in Ultraman Tiga, although the monsters fought in each episode are different, they all have the element of "Victory Team Investigation".

It is not difficult to find out if you extend it.

The performance model of "Martin's Morning" is actually more like an early stage drama performance. Each episode is a separate play.

"Unit drama?"

"Yes, I think you guys should be very experienced in this. After all, you have done a lot of unit drama animations before." Gu Miao said with a smile.

When it comes to unit drama animation, the writers like Wanbao immediately felt no longer sleepy.

Unit drama? What a unique skill!

What works did Wanbao Animation start with? Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf!

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf is just a unit drama animation! Although it has been changed to a series model in recent years, the early plots were all unit dramas!

Not to mention, Wanbao also has "Bear Bear", "Happy Baby", "Tom and Jerry", "Crayon Shin-chan", "Detective Conan", "Bugs Bunny", "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Hell Girl", etc. Excellent unit drama animation work.

Seriously speaking, Wanbao Animation has produced more unit dramas than TV series in terms of the total number of episodes and total minutes alone.

No joke!

Wanbao's accumulation of unit drama animation is indeed deeper and richer than that of series animation.

Therefore, if "Martin's Morning" is a unit drama animation, although it will test the creative ability of the screenwriters, it will indeed be easier to produce.

After all, practice makes perfect!

Wanbao has produced so many series animations. If they can't even complete one "Martin's Morning", wouldn't they be underestimating these screenwriters?

do not forget……

Every one of Wanbao Animation’s core screenwriters is an experienced veteran with more than 100 episodes and 1,000 minutes of unit drama animation creation experience.

Don't ask where the experience comes from. The question is that there are so many seasons of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and hundreds of thousands of episodes of animation, almost all of which are scripts written by them.

Unit drama animation is the most creative test.

For these screenwriters who have written scripts for animations such as Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and Bears, "Martin's Morning" with only dozens of episodes is simply a piece of cake!

Hundreds and thousands of episodes of Pleasant Goat and Haunted Bear have been completed. What is the difficulty?
