Chapter 706 Have You Seen a Lion? (Please Subscribe)

To be honest.

When Gu Miao saw Bald Qiang's wooden house for the first time, she actually felt a little envious of him.

This area is so big!

If you live alone, two or three rooms are enough. The spacious yard outside made Gu Miao, who lived in a concrete forest and was used to living in buildings, even more envious.

Living in a prosperous city, although one enjoys various conveniences in education, medical care, and work, it is difficult to own a small farmhouse like Bald Qiang, which is big enough to park four or five cars.

Not to mention, the bald guy who lives here can not only have a signal, but also watch TV, and the express delivery can be delivered to his door, which is really amazing...

Perhaps the only regret is that the wooden house is too old and it is difficult and far to get to work.

But this is nothing.

If there really is such a forest cabin that has access to the Internet and electricity, and can deliver door-to-door express delivery, even if you spend a little more money to renovate it, it will actually be very cost-effective.

certainly!

The prerequisite for achieving all this is to have money. If you are as poor as Bald Qiang, then living in this wooden house will probably not be a pleasure, but a kind of torture.

Building the scene was a bit time-consuming.

Just as Gu Miao was leading the production team of "Bear Infested" to focus on the "details" and design of Bald Qiang's wooden house, Du Hao returned from North America.

He brought back good news!

MGM and Warner, among the eight major Hollywood giants, are very interested in the animated film "The Lion King" project.

However, Warner was obviously more greedy and actually wanted to get involved in the copyright of the project, so Du Hao politely refused.

MGM was very sincere and not only agreed to Wanbao's conditions, but also promised to handle the global distribution of the film.

"Then let's go to MGM!"

When Gu Miao heard MGM's name, she subconsciously thought of the "Tom and Jerry" animation being produced by the North American branch.

What a fate!

After missing out on the animated "Tom and Jerry", they actually wanted to collaborate with Wanbao on "The Lion King", which sounds very abstract.

Gu Miao's main goal in sending Du Hao to Hollywood was to win over another giant who had made great achievements in the field of animation.

But Du Hao told him.

That Hollywood animation giant is currently focusing more on the "live-action film and television" field. Some look down on Wanbao from China and disdain to cooperate with it.

"Look down on us?"

Gu Miao's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that the other party would be so arrogant and arrogant. He couldn't even look down on the top animation company in Asia?

What kind of giant are you?

People looked down on Wanbao, so Gu Miao certainly wouldn't be a licking dog and put her hot face on someone's cold butt. In fact, MGM was quite good.

Although in the field of animation, the results are not very outstanding, and the field of live-action film and television has also been declining in the past two years, the foundation is still very strong.

By cooperating with them, Gu Miao at least doesn't have to worry about the distribution of the movie, let alone worry about the partner being too strong and eating Wanbao in turn.

Of course, there are far more than just MGM companies participating in the "Lion King" project, there are more than a dozen companies in total!

It's just that the other management companies are not giants in terms of energy and quality, and cannot be compared with Wanbao and MGM.

So Gu Miao didn't care.

The total investment in the movie "The Lion King" project is expected to be as high as 55 million US dollars. Originally, it was not that much. After MGM came in, it invested another sum of money in the project team.

That’s all it adds up to.

This is only the pre-production budget, and does not include publicity and promotion. When the movie is scheduled to be released, an exaggerated publicity budget will definitely be added.

"too exaggerated!"

"Do you really want me to be the director of a movie with such a huge investment?" Du Hao asked with some anxiety.

The total investment is tens of millions of dollars! The unit is US dollars, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of RMB!

He was asked to take over such a big dish. Du Hao said that he was not panicked or nervous, but that must be a lie. In fact, he was extremely panicked now.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Under you, the director, isn't there a foreign assistant director designated by MGM?" Gu Miao raised her eyebrows, "If you don't dare to shoot, then I will let him take over!"

"Don't!"

When Du Hao heard that his position was likely to be replaced by the assistant director designated by MGM, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "How can we let a foreign devil be the boss of our production team?"

This is a matter of face!

Regardless of whether he was panicked or not, or whether he was under great pressure or not, he had to step up. Otherwise, if there is no one to choose, will the foreign assistant director really be replaced?

"Do not worry!"

Gu Miao smiled and patted Du Hao on the shoulder, comforting him: "I am a producer, what are you afraid of with me watching over you?"

Feel free to do it boldly.

Regardless of whether it is done well or not, this kind of thing must be done first in order to accumulate rich experience.

With the idea of ​​cultivating professional talents, from a long-term perspective, Gu Miao also felt that it would be nothing even if the investment was a loss.

The days are still long!

If you don’t dare to take the first step, then why are you talking about overseas plans? You might as well just curl up in your cozy nest for the rest of your life.

Du Hao's position as director is actually a forcibly appointed candidate. After all, Gu Miao needs complete control over the "Lion King" project.

How about a different director, such as a foreign assistant director recommended by MGM? Maybe the finished film will be better, but that won't do Wanbao Animation any good.

Is it cheap to use your own platform to cultivate talents for others and then thank them for helping you?

"Go find all the people first."

Gu Miao ordered: "Communicate more with the foreign assistant director. He is a famous animation director in Hollywood, and he must be very capable."

"Okay, I understand."

Du Hao nodded and was about to stand up and say goodbye when he suddenly heard Mr. Gu's inquiry again.

"Speaking of which, how do you plan to shoot your movie? Where will it be shot?"

"ah??"

Du Hao looked confused and didn't understand what Mr. Gu meant by asking.

Where else can animation be shot?

If you don't work in a company, why don't you go to Hollywood to do animation? This is too far! One trip and one trip, the air tickets alone cost a lot of money!

"no……"

Gu Miao shook her head and explained: "That's not what I meant. I wanted you to go to Africa."

"Africa?!"

"That's right, Africa!"

Gu Miao grinned and said, "Have you ever seen a real lion? If you haven't, how could you possibly make a perfect "Lion King" animation?"

Really, a lion?

Can it pant or bite?

Du Hao was so frightened that when he was about to say "No need", Gu Miao continued: "One or two may not be enough..."

"So I asked you to take people to Africa and arrange for you to have enough lions, all kinds of lions, as well as giraffes, zebras and other animals to have close contact with you!"

Thank you!

Du Hao's face instantly turned pale when he thought of the scene where he was running on the African grassland with the lions chasing him madly behind him.

The dog Wangcai that everyone in the family loved was poisoned and his front legs were also lame. I don’t know who is so wicked and vicious...
