Chapter 732 The explosion of the soundtrack (seeking subscription)
Gu Miao also had a headache.
The Pleasant Goat Zodiac Movie used to be a hot potato, and no one was willing to take over the project.
But after Ma Kui won the box office champion of the 2015 Spring Festival with "Sheep Elated", and won the "Second Director of History" of Wanbao, this project has become a favorite.
no way!
Wanbao and the gang really couldn’t accept the fact that Ma Kui had overwhelmed their career honors. They urgently needed a “box office champion” to fight back.
That's why everyone came to him, expressing in various ways that the director of the Year of the Monkey movie is none other than me...
What can Gu Miao do?
No matter who he promises to, it must be unfair, and the others may not be convinced.
In order to solve this problem, Gu Miao had no choice but to call everyone to the office and use the most primitive "drawing lots" to determine the ownership.
The rules are simple:
The twelve zodiac series of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" have only released three works so far, and there will be nine more in the future.
Then get nine pieces of paper, write the names of the zodiac signs such as Shen Monkey, You Rooster, Xu Dog, Hai Pig, etc., and then throw them into a black box to randomly scramble them and let everyone draw lots.
If you get any zodiac, you will be in charge of making the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" New Year's movie of that zodiac.
This is definitely fair.
After all, everything depends on luck, and everyone has a share. It is nothing more than the earlier the zodiac, the better, and the later the more disadvantaged.
"Okay, the result is out."
After the short lottery ceremony, Gu Miao announced the answer: "This year's film for the Year of the Monkey belongs to Director Wang, and next year's film for the Year of the Rooster belongs to Guo Hongwei..."
"Alas! I'm so unlucky."
Seeing that his favorite Year of the Monkey movie was taken away, Huang Kun said with regret: "Now I have to endure Ma Kui showing off as the box office champion for several years in front of me."
"What are you talking about?"
"Could it be that Wanbao won't make animated films without the zodiac signs?" Gu Miao said angrily, "It is undeniable that the zodiac signs of Pleasant Goat are indeed our company's best-performing film project so far."
"But this is only for now, the days to come will be long, who knows what will happen?"
"Let's not talk about the far..."
"Take "The Lion King" as an example where we cooperated with Hollywood, co-produced and released it, and directed by Du Hao. I think it will be the box office champion, and it will be the champion in many countries around the world!"
The Lion King?
Hearing this word, Huang Kun's dull eyes suddenly lit up.
He understood what Mr. Gu meant.
There are so many animation themes, and there are many projects that can be filmed, and even more can produce results. Why limit your attention to the Zodiac series of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"?
"I see."
Huang Kun pondered: "Then what do you think, how about making a theatrical version of "Pig Man", "Guobao Special Attack" and even "Super Beast Armed Forces"?"
"Not so good!" Gu Miao was speechless, and explained patiently, "If you have to choose, I think "Detective Conan", "Digimon" and "Yu-Gi-Oh" are more suitable than these three works."
"Then "Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Huang Kun is not picky either. He is actually satisfied with the three works Mr. Gu mentioned, but he has more feelings for "Yu-Gi-Oh".
Do not ask.
Q is when he has nothing to do, he likes to open "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Frontline" and find someone to play cards with.
"no problem…"
Gu Miao said indifferently: "As long as you can come up with a project that is enough to convince me to allocate funds, I can accept any theme and project you choose."
In the final analysis, it depends on the planning.
If the planning and script are not satisfactory to him, let alone the theatrical version of "Yu-Gi-Oh", even if it is a movie about Pleasant Goat and the Chinese Zodiac, it should be killed.
After all, Wanbao is not doing charity, so the rate of return must always be considered.
"correct!"
Speaking of this, Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked Huang Kun: "The seven background BGMs of the animation "Super Beast Armed Forces" became popular, do you know about this?"
"Know."
Huang Kun nodded, and then looked at Mr. Gu in puzzlement: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Penguin Music wants to discuss with you. It seems that they want to get a digital music album of "Super Beast Armed Forces."
Gu Miao bent her index finger, gestured for a number seven and said, "The price is seven yuan, and there are seven pieces of background music representing the seven parallel universes."
"This is also okay?"
"Speaking of which, will anyone really buy this thing? Don't be scolded **** by the audience instead of not earning money in the end." Huang Kun looked hesitant.
It's not that he questioned the authenticity.
Since Mr. Gu said it, it must be true. He just doubts that this kind of "anime theme music album" can really sell?
"I think it's okay to..."
"The seven BGMs represent the seven different parallel universes. To be honest, they are all very nice. Many viewers want to log in to the music platform."
Gu Miao said with a smile: "Besides, you have to try to know whether it is successful or not? What if there are many people who like it?"
"Yes, let's put it on the shelves."
Huang Kun has no objection to this. To be honest, the seven BGMs representing the seven parallel universes are indeed quite pleasant to listen to.
Especially the piano piece representing the underworld. When he heard it for the first time, he got goosebumps all over his body. The feeling has never been so strong...
The soundtrack is also the part that received the most praise from the audience after the first and second seasons of the animation "Super Beast Armor".
Let me tell you some common knowledge.
Even when the first season of "Super Beast Armed Forces" just ended, the whole network denounced it as unfinished, and when the word-of-mouth of the work fell to the bottom, no one was ashamed of the animation soundtrack, and even black fans were boasting.
From this we can see how amazing the several "parallel universe" soundtracks composed by Master Cao are.
These seven BGMs are all pure music, without lyrics...
Since Wanbao agreed to cooperate and released the digital album of "Super Beast Armed Forces" animation soundtrack on the Penguin Music platform, Gu Miao has been paying attention to the sales of this album.
The result surprised him.
I thought that there would not be too many people buying it, but I didn’t know that the sales of this digital album exceeded 1 million copies in just three days after it was released.
Grab the grass!
Only relying on seven anime soundtracks, he earned several million in three days. Once the news got out, the entire "Super Beast Armed Forces" production team was dumbfounded.
That's pure music...
No lyrics, pure music without vocals, not an anime theme song, why do so many people like it?
Is it because the influence and popularity of the animation of "Super Beast Armor" is too explosive, or...the quality of these seven songs is really high, so many passers-by who don't watch animation like it?
At first, Gu Miao thought it was the former.
But not long after, he found the answer in the song comment section of 9999+.
"My dog listened to the theme song of the fifth underworld, and his eyes seemed to want to ride me into the battlefield..."
"What does the sixth Baboo mean? Why does such a warm and comfortable piano piece have such a strange name?"
"The most valuable seven dollars spent, listening to the current saliva songs, and listening to these pure music, I feel that my soul has been healed..."
Many anime songs or soundtracks, apart from the anime itself, it is also very good! My playlist includes "Promise", "Xiaguang", "Not Afraid", "Your Smiling Face", you should have heard all of them...
