Chapter 404 The Magical Dragon (Please Subscribe)

Can you find the feeling of "falling in love" by asking your gay friend to pretend to be your girlfriend on a date?

No one knows the answer.

However, the movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Snake Comes Around" released at the same time was really good and refreshed many Neon viewers' understanding of Chinese animation.

Unfortunately……

Since the film was released in a hurry on Neon and there was no time for publicity and promotion, the box office at the screening was very low.

But this is only temporary.

As the film's reputation grows, combined with attendance, Neon Cinemas should increase the number of screenings appropriately.

With the increase in the number of screenings, the movie box office is bound to skyrocket.

As for how much it can rise, Gu Miao is not sure. After all, in his opinion, Neon is not domestic, Pleasant Goat does not have such a deep audience base, and its box office potential is not very high.

Probably only tens of millions?

The unit is "yen"!

For Wanbao, this box office is simply a mosquito's legs and not worth mentioning. But having said that, Gu Miao originally didn’t value overseas box office.

The reason why it was released overseas was simply to gain fame and sell Blu-ray BDs.

unconsciously.

The movie "Snake Comes Around" will be released soon.

As the first animated film released by Wanbao Animation so far. The performance of "Snake Comes Around" did not disappoint the expectations of Gu Miao and fans.

This can be considered a "good start"!

In the new year, in addition to multiple TV animation projects, Wanbao also has a particularly eye-catching animated film.

That is, "The Final Battle!" with Hou Bin as chief director. Light Messenger

When Gu Miao came to Lightning Studio, Hou Bin was explaining the design points of the "villain mecha" to the art designer.

The way he explains is very special.

Use a ball of plasticine to create the "rough" effect you want, and then explain to the designer why you want to do it, what are the benefits of doing it, etc.

Gu Miao looked at it for a while.

I don’t know if it was his imagination, but in his eyes, the villain mecha that Hou Bin made out of plasticine had a special beauty of a "stitch monster".

"Yes, that's right..."

Faced with Gu Miao's questioning, Hou Bin admitted frankly: "The villain mechas that appear in this theatrical version are basically the villains from Chuangjie Mountain, the Demon God, and the villain mechas from the Evil Dong clan."

Simply put, Stitch Monster!

Take the villain mecha from the anime "Dragon Fighter" and combine it with the evil mecha from "Light Messenger", and put them together like building blocks.

So, a new villain appears!

"In the setting, these villains are all evil tribesmen who sneaked into the earth after leaving the moon."

"Xiaodu defeated Duohuda, rescued Chuangjie Mountain, and returned to the real world."

Hou Bin explained patiently: "Although at the end of the story, Dohaida was defeated and sealed forever by Xiaodu. The dark dragon awakened by him was eventually killed by Xiaodu with a sword."

"But the power of the Dark Demonic Dragon is still too strong. In its desperate counterattack before it died, it accidentally penetrated the passage to Xiaodu World."

"This is how Douda escapes the seal!"

The background of the story is probably that Dohaida was released from the seal. In order to take revenge on Xiaodu, he united with the Xie Dong tribe to gain stronger power.

This can also explain...

Why did the villainous mecha of the evil action tribe turn into this "stitch monster" form? Because Dohaida reached a cooperation with Grunvat, the son of Canobus, the king of the evil tribe.

"OK! Villains unite..."

Gu Miao nodded and said: "Since the villains have reached a cooperation, turning the mecha into a stitch monster, is there any similar cooperation between the protagonists?"

"some."

Hou Bin took out an unfinished design "line draft", pointed at the strange-shaped robot on it and said: "This is the cooperation between the protagonists, the Magic Dragon!"

Blanch!

This name is really difficult to name!

Looking at the line drawing, which clearly combined the characteristics of the two mechas "Dragon God" and "Earth Demon King", Gu Miao asked curiously.

"Is this thing made of one body?"

"no!"

"This should be a special product summoned by the combination of Xiaodu's courage and the kindness of the earth."

Hou Bin shook his head and said: "In the final battle, the Dragon God and the Demon King of Earth were defeated one after another and lost their combat capabilities."

"In order to protect others, Xiaodu and Dadi resolutely raised the Dragon Climbing Sword and Magic Gun to attack the villain..."

Too abstract!

Gu Miao listened for a long time and finally figured it out. It turns out that this mecha named [Magical Dragon] is similar to the existence of "Shining Tiga".

It won't happen under normal circumstances.

And once it appears, there are only two words to describe this mecha...

Invincible!

This is also a theatrical version, a form specially created to promote sales of peripheral derivatives.

Although it is to make money, one thing has to be admitted.

This mecha named [Magic Dragon] is really handsome! It combines the advantages of the Dragon Warrior and the Demon King of Earth, and it looks particularly impressive.

And not only handsome...

As a combination of Xiaodu's courage and earth's kindness, and also the ultimate form of the theatrical version, the strength of the Magical Dragon is also exaggerated.

"Cut in two with one sword, Climb the Dragon Sword!"

After the previous animation "Lightbringer" was aired, the nirvana that netizens used to tease and joke has now become a reality in the theatrical version.

According to Hou Bin.

The Magic Dragon appears for less than three minutes, gets off work earlier than Ultraman, and the fights are simplified to the extreme.

One punch, knocking away the big boss!

One strike of the sword, ending the battle!

Yes, you heard it right! In this theatrical version, Magic Dragon uses these two tricks to easily defeat the super boss.

Outrageous, too outrageous!

Dohaida, who absorbed the power of Grunvat, the son of Canobus, the king of the evil tribe, easily defeated the Dragon God and the evil king of earth.

As a result, before he could act arrogantly for long, his backhand was defeated by a punch and a sure kill from the Magic Dragon.

can only say……

As the ultimate suture monster, the Demonic Dragon is indeed too powerful. This kind of power is far beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

But it's not a big problem.

The reason why this theatrical version was born was to promote toys and make a lot of money.

The more powerful the Magic Dragon is in the movie, the more children will buy the toy. After all, it’s a good thing, and who would care less about the money?

"Not bad, good, do it well!"

Gu Miao, who was very satisfied with this [Magic Dragon], patted Hou Bin on the shoulder and said, "By the way, I have some news for you!"

"I do not plan to send this theatrical version of the movie to theaters. It will be directly launched on Wanbao Video and broadcast online for free!"

Ah this?

Hou Bin was stunned.

Instead of going to theaters, will it be broadcast for free on video websites? Will this recoup the production costs?
