  Chapter 706 Have you ever seen a lion? (seeking subscription)

To be honest.

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

   This area is really big!

   One person lives, two or three rooms are enough. And the spacious yard outside made Gu Miao, who lived in the concrete forest and used to living in high-rise buildings, even more envious.

   Living in a bustling city, although enjoying all kinds of conveniences in education, medical care, and work, it is difficult to have a small farmyard like Bald Qiang, which is enough to park four or five cars.

   Not to mention, the bald Qiang who lives here can not only have a signal, watch TV, but also deliver goods to the door, which is amazing...

  Probably the only regret is that the wooden house is too old, and it is troublesome and far away to go to work.

   But this is nothing.

  If there is such a forest cabin in reality that is connected to the Internet and can be delivered by express delivery, even if you spend a little more money to renovate it, it is actually very cost-effective.

certainly!

  The premise of all this is to be rich. If you are as poor as Bald Qiang, then living in this wooden house is probably not a pleasure, but a torture.

  Building the scene is a bit time-consuming.

  Just as Gu Miao was leading the production team of "Bears Infested", Du Hao returned from North America when he was researching and designing the "details" around Bald Qiang's wooden house.

  He came back with good news!

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

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

   On the other hand, MGM was full of sincerity, not only agreed to Wanbao's conditions, but also promised to handle the global distribution of the movie.

   "Then MGM!"

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

   It is really destined!

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

  The main goal of Gu Miao sending Du Hao to Hollywood is to win over another giant who has made a lot of "achievements" in the animation field.

  But Du Hao told him.

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

   "Look down on us?"

  The corner of Gu Miao's mouth twitched. She didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant and conceited. She even looked down on the animation company that ranked No. 1 in Asia?

   What giant are you?

  People look down on Wanbao, so naturally Gu Miao won't act like a licking dog, putting her hot face on someone's cold ass, in fact, MGM is pretty good too.

  Although the achievements in the field of animation are not very good, and the field of live-action film and television has gradually declined in the past two years, the foundation is still very strong.

  Cooperating with them, Gu Miao at least doesn't have to worry about the release of the movie, let alone worry that the partner is too powerful and will eat up Wanbao.

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

  It’s just that other capitals are not giants in terms of energy and grade, and cannot be compared with Wanbao and MGM.

  So Gu Miao didn't care.

  The movie "The Lion King" project is expected to have a total investment of up to 55 million U.S. dollars, which was originally not that much. After Mikomi came in, he invested another sum of money in the project team.

   That's all it adds up to.

  This is only the pre-production budget, not including the promotional promotion. When the movie is scheduled to be released soon, an exaggerated publicity budget will definitely have to be added.

"too exaggerated!"

   "A movie with such a large investment, do you really want me to be the director?" Du Hao asked a little nervously.

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

  For him to take over such a big plate, Du Hao said that he is not in a hurry or nervous, that must be a lie, in fact he is in a panic right now.

   "What are you afraid of?"

   "Below your director, isn't there a foreign assistant director appointed by MGM?" Gu Miao raised her eyebrows, "If you don't dare to shoot, then I'll let him take over!"

   "Don't!"

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

   This is a matter of face!

  Whether he panics or not, or whether the pressure is great or not, he has to go up. Otherwise, no one will be chosen. Is it true that the foreign assistant director will be replaced?

"Do not worry!"

  Gu Miao patted Du Hao's shoulder with a smile, and comforted him: "I'm the producer, why are you afraid if I'm watching you?"

   Do it with confidence.

   Regardless of whether it is good 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 okay to lose this investment.

  The days will be long in the future!

  Don’t dare to take the first step, so what are you talking about going to sea? Simply curl up in a comfortable nest for a lifetime.

  Du Hao's position as the director was actually a forced appointment. After all, Gu Miao needed complete control over the "Lion King" project.

  Change to another director, such as a foreign assistant director recommended by MGM? Maybe the finished film will be better, but that will not benefit Wanbao Animation at all.

  Use your own platform to cultivate talents for others, and you have to thank them for helping you when you're done, isn't it cheap?

   "Go and find all the people first."

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

   "Okay, I see."

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

   "Let's talk about your movie, how do you plan to shoot it, and where do you plan to shoot it?"

"ah??"

  Du Hao looked confused, not understanding what Mr. Gu meant by asking this question.

   Where else can animations be filmed?

   If you don’t work in a company, why not go to Hollywood to do animation? This is too far! Once back and forth, the air ticket alone costs a lot of money!

"no…"

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

"Africa?!"

   "Yes, Africa!"

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

  True, lion?

   Is it panting and biting?

  Du Hao was quite frightened. Just 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 enough lions for you, all kinds of lions, as well as giraffes, zebras and other animals, so you can get in touch with them!"

  I thank you!

  When Du Hao thought of the scene where he was running on the African grassland with a group of lions chasing him wildly behind him, his face instantly turned pale.

   Wangcai, the dog loved by everyone in the family, was poisoned by someone, and his front legs were limped. I don’t know who is so vicious...
