Chapter 720 No One Is Young Forever, but some People Are Always Young! (Please Subscribe)

【My youth is over! 】

This is the movie review with the highest number of likes after the first batch of viewers gave their comments after the movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was released.

The plot of the movie is quite satisfactory. I can only say that the atmosphere is well created. It is very suitable for watching with the whole family during this Spring Festival.

A typical family movie!

But the clip that impressed the audience the most, or that surprised them the most, was not the main part of the movie, but the 30-second easter egg at the end.

in particular……

That big group photo of the Big Big Wolf family of four, standing in front of the Wolf Castle with all the sheep in Yangcun, smiling, moved so many people.

This is the youth of a generation, the childhood memories of a generation!

The story of the wolf catching the sheep has come to an end. From now on, it will not be the wolf catching the sheep, but the wolf and the sheep cooperating.

How can the audience remain indifferent to this situation?

Regarding the setting of the easter egg at the end of the film, the audience's reaction surprised Gu Miao and Ma Kui. They did not expect the audience to be so calm.

I thought I would be sprayed.

Unexpectedly, after the easter egg was exposed, the entire Internet was remembering the past "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and lamented that youth was gone, but few people came to criticize the animation production team.

why?

After carefully reading through the comments made by netizens in the comment section of the movie "Sheep Eyebrows", Gu Miao figured it out.

The audience isn't stupid either.

Since the fourth season of TV, that is, "Pleasant Goat" was broadcast, everyone has been keenly aware that Pleasant Goat, the once brilliant animation IP, may be undergoing a transformation.

Everyone can see the reason. If Pleasant Goat continues to follow the same old path, the ratings will be worse than every season, and the decline is already obvious.

In order to seek change, we must innovate the content.

Therefore, in the fourth season, everyone can intuitively feel that the "conflict" between the happy enemies of Big Big Wolf and Pleasant Goat is not so obvious.

Even most of the time, these two people cooperate more, and there is less confrontation.

"Wolf catching sheep" is a thing of the past.

Although everyone misses the Pleasant Goat in the past, they can also understand Wanbao's decision to "transform", so the reaction to the final photo of the Easter Egg was not so intense.

"That's a good thing and a bad thing."

Gu Miao sighed.

The good thing is that the animation production team has gained the understanding of fans, and can boldly carry out transformation and reform, and make drastic innovations in "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

The bad thing is that when these fans say "my youth is over", it means...

They don't care that much about the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animation. From now on, they may not watch another episode of Pleasant Goat. At most, they will buy tickets to watch the theatrical version.

"There is no way..."

Ma Kui also said helplessly: "It has been five years. No one will always live in their youth, but there will always be people who are young."

Although it is sad and reluctant to leave these old fans, there is really nothing we can do about it. After five years, the old fans have all grown up.

It's time to let go.

Doing this is actually a relief for both the Pleasant Goat production team and the fans.

Fans are no longer worried and can focus on life and study in the future. The production team can also stand up and welcome the second batch of "teenage" audiences again.

"I know, but it makes me sad to see fans who have been so supportive of us say things like 'my youth is over'..."

Gu Miao is not an emotional person, but at this time, to be honest, he really blames himself.

The decision to transform was made by him.

Although he has no regrets, it is impossible for him to say that he has no emotion at all when seeing old fans who once supported Wanbao so much say this.

But there’s no point in blaming yourself.

As Ma Kui said, this is what animation is like, there are always new people coming and old people leaving.

Some animated series with relatively short life cycles may not be that big of a deal.

But for animated series with long life cycles, such as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Bears", "Pokémon" and "Yu-Gi-Oh!", this is the most uncomfortable time.

To use an analogy.

Gu Miao is the class teacher, and the fans are the students in the class.

As the class teacher, he has led this class for three years. He knows each student's parents, understands each student's personality and preferences, and gets along extremely harmoniously with them.

But three years later, he is still the class teacher, but the students have graduated and will always face separation...

There is nothing you can do!

These four words are the reflection of Gu Miao's heart at this moment. He knows that this is a normal "reincarnation of old and new", but he just can't accept it emotionally.

Likewise, fans can't accept it either.

No one likes separation, but it is inevitable. Because children will also grow up, and they cannot live in that carefree and childlike era forever.

"Think on the bright side..."

"Our movie is a hit! The box office on its opening day exceeded 50 million. Isn't this worth celebrating?" Ma Kui said with a forced smile.

"Is this a parting gift?"

Gu Miao's expression was a bit bitter, because he knew that most of the box office revenue came from old fans who wanted to use this movie to say goodbye to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Otherwise, how could the box office be so high?

Based on the actual quality of the movie, the premiere box office is at most 30 million, and it can't be any more.

It was also the easter egg at the end of the movie that added more than 20 million yuan to the premiere box office of "Sheep Eyebrows" out of thin air, otherwise it would not have been so high.

But that's also a good thing.

Movies released during this Spring Festival season generally have a poor reputation.

As the only movie with a huge reputation and a family-friendly animated movie that is very suitable for the Spring Festival, "The Breath of the Sheep" can be regarded as stepping on other movies to take the top spot.

Regardless of the box office of more than 50 million on the opening day, it can only rank second in the box office rankings during the Spring Festival period.

But what is the filming rate of "Sheep Eyebrows"? What is the film schedule for the No. 1 film, "Havoc in Heaven"?

The difference is obvious!

Unsurprisingly, starting from the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year, theaters will transfer the filming schedule of "Havoc in Heaven" to "Sheep Eyebrows Exhale".

After all, theaters take about the same proportion, so why not show more popular and profitable films?

There is only one situation in which the film schedule rate will not rise, and that is that the proportion of revenue shared by "Havoc in Heaven" to theaters is much higher than that of "The Breath of the Eye".

But this is unlikely.

The attendance rate is here. A little calculation with a calculator will tell you that even if the split ratio of "Sheep Eyebrows Breathing" is low, the attendance rate is too high, and the theater chain is still very profitable.

And so it turned out.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, major theater chains across the country have made adjustments to their film schedules based on the Spring Festival schedule and the release of various films.

With its box office exceeding 100 million on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year and its super high attendance rate, "Sheep Eyebrows are Breathing" managed to have the last laugh and became the biggest winner of this Spring Festival.

The box office took off completely!

Thanks to the rapid increase in film schedules, "Sheep Eyebrows", which was already well-received, has skyrocketed. After the first week's box office was released, many people were confused.

357 million yuan!

It exceeded 100 million in two days and 350 million in four days. If this continues, could it become the second "Horse Galloping"?

Such an exaggerated box office performance really shocked many people, but considering that the previous summer movie "Horse" was also outrageous, everyone can accept it.

At least according to the current box office trend, although "Sheep Eyebrows Sigh" is very interesting, it is unlikely to break through the 1 billion box office.

After all, it’s a bit off.

Although this Spring Festival box office champion will most likely be awarded to "Sheep Eyebrows Breathing".

However, the movie "Sheep Eyes Breathing" is not very popular. The most discussed and topical movie on the Internet is still the "abnormal" variety show "Where Are the Grandpas?"

Can you believe it?

For such a weird variety show that has been criticized by the entire Internet, disliked by passers-by, and has hit rock bottom in terms of reputation, its box office performance in the first week of its premiere was only less than 100 million lower than "Sheep Eyebrows Breathing"?

"Really abstract!"

Gu Miao had nothing to say. This was the first time that he felt that the criticisms of those old-timers were right. He, Xiao Gu, was just a layman and did not understand the film market at all.

An extended version of a reality TV show can make hundreds of millions at the box office. Who can understand this?

Fortunately, he is engaged in animation.

If he were a director of a live-action film and television series, he would try his best to make a movie, beg his grandpa and grandma, and finally get it to be released in theaters, only to lose to this thing...

Oh my god!

Then he probably couldn't sleep well for several days. In his dreams at night, he was thinking, where did he lose?

To be fair, "Sheep Eyes Breathing" won the Spring Festival box office championship, which may be a good thing for others.

After all, I lost to Gu Sanshui and Pleasant Goat's "Ben Ming Nian" movie, but I still managed to stabilize my mind. However, I lost to this bad variety movie. That's really...

The Taoist heart is broken!

Some people say, fortunately, my childhood was not one of Pleasant Goat! And I often say that I have always liked Pleasant Goat, that was the case before and that is the case now!
