My Animation Era

  As the time came to the end of February, the animated film "Happy Year of the Monkey", which was released for nearly a month, finally closed its eyes.

How do you say that?

  In some movies, they died on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and only lay in the coffin on the 20th day of the first lunar month!

  Although the theaters gave Wanbao a lot of face, even though the film’s attendance rate was not high and the box office was only a few, it still allowed “Year of the Monkey” to last an extra week in the theaters.

   But it's useless...

  Duo Lai was in theaters for a week, and the total box office has only increased by less than 8 million. To be honest, it is better to get out of theaters quickly, and don’t occupy the lineup and not sell tickets!

what is interesting is.

   "Happy Year of the Monkey" has been fully screened, and the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon", which was released earlier, is still refusing to leave the theaters.

   Seto's main character is shameless!

  The Neon Division is completely shameless. Anyway, I just rely on the theaters. One more day of screening will bring back more blood. Don't try to drive me away.

   As for whether the theater will agree?

Forehead!

  They didn't want to agree either. After all, no one wants to do this kind of loss-making business. Is it true that the venue rent and water and electricity bills of the movie theater are free?

   But Seto's stalking is really unbearable, and there is also the high proportion of accounts promised by the Neon branch.

  Show other movies, assuming the movie ticket price is 100 yen, and the theater can get 40 yen, which is very good. The theatrical version of "Sailor Moon" can be screened, and the theater can get at least 70 yen...

  Seto is a real dog!

  He knew that after being kicked out of the movie theater's lineup, he would not be able to earn a penny, so he decisively chose to feed the tiger, and stayed in the theater for an extra half a month.

  Of course, no matter how much you cut meat and feed tigers, it won’t change the fact that the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon" is a pile of shit.

   It's nothing more than a little less loss.

  Gu Miao recognized the efforts of Seto and the Neon branch, but he felt that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. After tossing so many tricks, it's better to try hard to earn back the second part!

  In addition to the release of the two theatrical versions one after another, another incident happened at the end of February.

  With Hou Bin as the chief director, the domestic inspirational gourmet and folk-themed cartoon "Shen Chef Xiao Fugui" produced by Wanbao Animation was broadcast on Zhonghai Children's Channel at 18:00 in the evening.

  …

   "Another gourmet show?"

  Liu Zida, who was boiling hot water and was planning to use instant noodles for dinner, accidentally glanced at the TV screen, his eyes full of anticipation.

   Good guy!

  Since the end of "The Little Master of China", he thought that Wanbao Animation would not make a gourmet show.

   After all, the luminous egg fried rice is too classic. It is difficult for any gourmet fan to match or even surpass this setting. This theme is equivalent to being played to death by Wanbao.

  But he never expected it.

   After two years, Wanbao Animation actually launched a gourmet show that focuses on cooking.

  This is where it gets interesting...

  The shock and novelty brought by "The Little Master of China" is still vivid in Liu Zida's memory. He really wants to know whether this animation called "Little Fugui, the Chef" can surpass Little Master and become a new benchmark for gourmet fans?

   Probably not!

  Before the official broadcast of the animation, Zhonghai Children’s Channel deliberately squeezed out advertising space to play the promotional preheating PV of "The Chef Xiaofugui".

  Liu Zida just glanced at it, then frowned.

  Is this a gourmet show?

  The entire warm-up PV lasts for three minutes. There are very few scenes of cooking, and more of the wonderful interactive clips between the protagonist Xiao Fugui and other characters.

  He sensed something was wrong.

  However, he didn't think too much about it. After all, this was just a promotional PV film, and he couldn't rush to a conclusion. He had to watch the feature film first.

A few minutes later.

  The instant noodles are ready, and the advertisement is over. Liu Zida, who is carrying the instant noodles, comes to the sofa and sits down, looking at the TV screen.

  「Food is the most important thing for the people. Chai, rice, sauce, vinegar and salt, no one can leave three meals a day~」

   "You can also adjust the taste, relying on recruiting new ones, being a person is like mixing tofu with shallots~"

  「Walk around innocence~」

  Accompanied by the melodious and melodious theme song, the first episode of the animation officially started broadcasting.

  The capital, the imperial palace.

  The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning would strike from time to time. The narrator explained the background of the story to the audience in a calm tone.

   At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the Reform Movement of 1898 failed, the Allied Forces invaded, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor fled westward in a hurry...

   "Suck and suck!"

  While eating the noodles, Liu Zida complained: "Wanbao, Li Zaigan, the devil? Hurry up and start the cooking competition. What historical story will you tell at night?"

   Are you here to tell your story? Everyone is obviously here to watch the protagonist show off his cooking skills and use his superb skills to make all kinds of delicacies!

   Can you get to the point quickly?

  Liu Zida is not the only one. Many viewers also complain about the procrastination of the plot when they saw the plot of the Queen Mother fleeing westward and Xiao Lizi killing the imperial chef.

  Gourmet Fan, it’s fine if you tell everyone such a serious historical story, can you hurry up and let the protagonist appear?

  The Queen Mother and Little Eunuch Li, who don’t look good at first glance, I really don’t want to see them.

   It's not that everyone is impatient.

  It is the history of the late Qing Dynasty, which is too heavy for many people, and every time I think about it, it will hurt my heart.

   Everyone watching the food show is here to have fun and relax, not to relive this humiliating history and cause trouble for yourself in the middle of the night.

   Fortunately, the story of the empress dowager fleeing westward in a hurry did not last long, and the scene soon cut to a restaurant in a small town called "Hongjia Restaurant".

  The imperial chef is dead.

  The Queen Mother needed a new chef, and Eunuch Li also needed a suitable scapegoat, so he took the order to find the cook.

  In Hong’s restaurant, Eunuch Li, who was greedy for pork head meat, made a speechless request after learning that there was no meat here—make a plate of vegetarian pork head meat with vegetarian dishes!

"I go…"

  Liu Zida, who was eating instant noodles, was subconsciously stunned when he heard the name of this dish.

  Pork head meat? Biscuit?

  Are you sure you're not joking? This is even more outrageous than fish-flavored shredded pork without fish! Where in the world is there such a thing as vegetarian pork head?

   "Grandpa, look at mine!"

   Fortunately, the protagonist deserves to be the protagonist.

  Xiao Fugui saw that his grandfather was in such a difficult situation, he thought of carving a pig's head out of radish and adding various seasonings to make a plate of plain roasted pig's head.

  Little Eunuch Li was very satisfied with the meal, and said that the pork head meat is really crispy...

   "Can it not be crispy? That's a plate of big radish!"

  Seeing Xiao Lizi eating like a starved ghost reincarnated in the animation, Liu Zida also understood.

   This guy hasn’t eaten meat for a long time, and he has forgotten what meat tastes like. As long as he sees the appearance of a pig’s head, even if he eats a radish, he still thinks it tastes like meat.

   But then again...

   Is the radish really delicious? Or did the animation deliberately exaggerate the deliciousness of this plate of radishes in order to portray Xiao Lizi's starvation?

  Why don’t you eat the instant noodles first, go to the supermarket downstairs and buy a big white radish, follow the animation method, and make a plate of sukien pork head meat to taste?

  Because of the rising price of pork, Liu Zida, who hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, was actually tempted by a plate of vegetarian pork head meat made of radish...

   Only then did I realize that the label of Master Chef Xiao Fugui is children, inspirational, not gourmet food...
