My Animation Era Chapter 1073

"When it comes to playing Go, it still depends on talent. You can't force children to learn. Interest is the best teacher."

After the animation "Go Boys" sparked a wave of interest classes in Go, Gu Miao poured cold water on it and said: "Now everyone's interest in Go is more of a three-minute craze, and it may transfer to other fields after a while. .”

“So, I think parents and children should think carefully about enrolling in extracurricular interest classes and not make a decision just on a whim..."

Gu Miao has good intentions.

He knows that the popularity of animations has made many children curious about Go, and the Chess Academy also feels that this is a God-given opportunity to promote Go.

But as a responsible public figure and also the children's trusted Uncle Gu, Gu Miao felt that there were some things that should be reminded.

To learn Go, you must first be interested!

If you are not interested, it will definitely not work if you bite the bullet and learn. Parents' will cannot be imposed on their children. Only children who learn voluntarily can learn.

Secondly, Go really requires talent.

Xiao Ke told Gu Miao that although there are many talented people in the domestic Go field, there are actually very few people who can successfully determine the level and can be called a professional player.

He himself is an exception.

In the Go circle, there are many players who have participated in eight or nine fixed-stage competitions, and it took many years to barely reach the professional level.

So if this thing is cultivated purely as a hobby, then there is no problem. Go itself can cultivate sentiment.

But if you plan to take the path of Go and become a professional chess player in the future, you have to think carefully and evaluate whether you have the same talent as Xiao Ke.

It's a bit embarrassing to say.

The Chess Academy has probably not seen this kind of "Go spectacle" for a long time. In order to gain popularity and promote Go, a mental game, to the public, they dare to say anything without considering the consequences.

Why is learning Go not worse than taking the Qingbei exam? Learning Go can improve children's intelligence. Instead of learning piano and violin, it is better for children to learn Go. A certain chess player earns millions in competition prize money alone every year...

This kind of publicity not only made Gu Miao shake her head, Xiao Ke also felt speechless.

I can only say that I am too anxious.

The popularity brought by the animation "Go Boy" is not for them to use in this way. These publicity will inevitably mislead some parents and children, so Gu Miao came forward to pour cold water on it.

Xiao Ke also appeared to give his own account.

He told his fans not to think that playing Go is a cool and handsome thing just because of the "Go Boy" animation.

Just the opposite.

Playing Go really depends on interest. If you don't have interest, then this is just a very boring chess game that you will get tired of after playing it for a few days.

The Go world needs fresh blood, but not in this way to induce everyone to learn and play Go.

“I will hold a live broadcast in the near future to answer some fans' doubts and questions about Go.”

Xiao Ke explained to Gu Miao: "At the same time, I will also use this online live broadcast method to initially teach everyone about Go and understand Go..."

“Is it live broadcast? It's pretty good!”

Gu Miao nodded: "You are a famous figure in the domestic Go community. It would be good for you to come forward to make these popular science or teaching videos to let more people understand Go."

“But don't forget, we agreed on the Wanbao Cup “Go Youth” competition before! "

“Has the competition format been finalized?”

"Roughly the same!"

Gu Miao explained: “We roughly divide the competition into the primary school group and the middle school group to compete for two champions. The prize money is about 500,000 yuan.”

There is no team competition.

This is not because Gu Miao is reluctant to spend money. The main reason is that Go is not very about teamwork, but more about individual strength.

Hold a so-called team competition, and many children may not even be able to find teammates, so they cannot sign up to participate.

Individual competition is better.

Straight to the point, don't get into all the bells and whistles, just compare who is stronger and who is weaker.

“The bonus is so high?”

Xiao Ke said with some surprise: "It's just an amateur competition between students. Isn't the reward of 500,000 yuan for the champion too exaggerated?"

You must know that the prize money of many professional-level competitions is about this amount.

Comparing the prize money of professional-level competitions, this is already considered a super model for amateur competitions in the youth group. It makes him, a world champion, a little itchy and wants to sign up for the competition.

“How? I don't think…”

Gu Miao shook his head and didn't understand why Xiao Ke said that the 500,000 bonus was a lot. In fact, he thought it was too little!

do not forget!

When Wanbao held the National Youth Tennis Open before, the reward given to the champion school was a teaching building.

Even if he is the team champion, the construction cost of a teaching building is not low. On average, each person is at least one million, right?

From this perspective, the winner of the Wanbao Cup Go Youth Competition only received 500,000 yuan in prize money, which Gu Miao already felt was very small. Doubling it again to make up one million would still barely pass.

“Enough is enough!”

Xiao Ke quickly dissuaded him: "Half a million is already an exaggeration. If you offer a bonus of one million, I'm afraid many professional chess players will want to sign up to compete."

“Haha, no!”

“Even if they want to sign up, I won't agree. After all, the Wanbao Cup is only for primary school students and middle school students. It is not a competition for professional chess players like you.”

Gu Miao said with a smile on her face: "Of course, the judges and event referees may invite you to participate."

“Just be there when you're called!”

Xiao Ke said: "If you need a referee to explain, I can recruit people for you, all of them are siege players."

“That'll do…”

Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt that Xiao Ke was a very loyal person and worthy of being the spokesperson for his designated Wanbao Cup "Go Youth" Open.

In fact, he still has something he hasn't told Xiao Ke.

That is the "Go Youth" Open that is under preparation. In addition to the 500,000 yuan bonus for the champion, Wanbao has also reached a cooperation with the Chess Academy. A total of six people from the primary school group and the middle school group, the first, second and third place, will be included in the so-called genius youth by the Chess Academy Plan and focus on training.

This is also the chess academy's careful thinking.

The Wanbao Cup Tennis Competition next door is getting better and better, and a large number of tennis geniuses have been cultivated. The National Tennis Center has directly established a talent training camp to accommodate and train these talented teenagers.

The Chess Academy also believes that with the influence and strong financial resources of Wanbao Group, the "Go Youth" event will definitely be run well.

At that time, many talented young people will surely emerge, and among them there may be people like Xiao Ke.

Then when dealing with these geniuses, they must be absorbed into the chess academy for training as soon as possible. Anyway, it does not consume many resources. If you raise another Xiaoke, it will be a huge profit!

But then again…

Although the Chess Academy is very optimistic and believes that a large number of talents will inevitably emerge from the "Go Youth" competition, Gu Miao holds a relatively pessimistic attitude. Now is the era of AI Go.

At this stage of Go, genius is no longer as important as before. So what if another Xiao Ke appears? Can you beat Alpha Dog?

The animation "Go Boy" is still being broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel. In the plot, Jiang Liu'er has passed five levels and defeated six generals, and has reached the top eight in the battle for the title of Go Master.

The next game will go to the capital and be held under the supervision of the emperor and a group of court ministers.

Jiang Liuer also set off.

But the ruthless King Fu set up a trap to ambush Jiang Liu'er on his way to the capital in order to strangle Jiang Liu'er, and the crisis quietly came...

“Young Go boy, chess is like life. Jiang Liuer plays not only Go, but also the game of reality!”

An audience member's wonderful comment received more than 100,000 likes and reposts from netizens.

Even Gu Miao couldn't help but sigh after watching it. Sure enough, someone still understood the core content of the animation "Go Boy".

That's right!

Go Boy seems to be telling a story about playing Go, but if you study the plot carefully, you will find that the series of events Jiang Liuer experienced are connected together to form a "dangerous" chess game.

Fuwang, the court or the emperor.

These two are the chess players, and Jiang Liu'er, Jiang Lingyun, Demon Sword King, Master Yuande, the old beggar and even the Japanese pirates are all just chess pieces.

“This is actually a tragedy.”

Worried that his wife did not understand the plot, Gu Miao explained to her: "Jiang Lingyun's death was not an accident, but inevitable, because from the moment he was sent to King Fu's territory by the court, he became an abandoned person. son."

"Similarly, the fate of the Demon Sword King is also doomed. King Fu needs someone to take the blame for him and divert the attention of the court."

“What about Jiang Liu'er?”

Coco peeled an orange and asked curiously: "Is the protagonist of the animation also a chess piece?"

"certainly!"

“The conflict between the emperor and King Fu is almost obvious, and Jiang Liuer is the chess piece in the emperor's hands, a sharp knife used to stab King Fu.”

Gu Miao shook his head and said: "Why can Jiang Liu'er become the Ming chess master? Just look at the animation, it's because Jiang Liu'er has amazing chess skills! But combined with the plot, the truth is that the emperor needs him to be the Ming chess master!"

“Is it necessary for a children's animation to be so dark?”

“Speak clearly...”

Gu Miao rolled her eyes: "What's wrong with children's animation? Children's animation is eating up your family's rice? Who says that children's animation can't add something in-depth?"

discriminate! This is discrimination!

Does children's animation have to be as simple as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "The Bear"?

Moreover.

Even for Pleasant Goat, in some unit episodes, the depth and breadth of the plot are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It's just a childish stereotype that makes many people ignore this point.

for example.

Episode 229 of the first edition of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" - Acting Village Chief!

The village chief, Manyangyang, is out for something, and the lambs need to elect an acting village chief to resist the invasion of the Big Big Wolf, and at the same time take care of the daily affairs of the Yangcun...

In this episode, the screenwriter severely criticized a wave of "public opinion coercion" unique to the West, and satirized the Sichuan Opera changes in the faces of politicians before and after being elected in a pungent and humorous way.

But how could the children at that time notice this? I just think it's funny!

The same goes for Go boys.

It doesn't matter if the children can't see it, and it doesn't matter if no one is aware of this potential plot. The point is that Gu Miao has been added to it, and this has become a small detail that the audience will “think about with horror” many years later.

“When making an animation, we not only have to consider what the audience thinks of it now, but also what the audience will think of the animation ten or twenty years from now.”

There is no need to pay taxes for bragging anyway. Gu Miao spoke loudly in front of his wife: "This is the outstanding vision of an excellent animator!"

“Okay, okay, okay, you are the best.”

Coco was too lazy to listen to his bragging. He took the sleeping little Sensen back to the bed. After covering him with a quilt, he hooked his fingers at Gu Miao: "Come back to the house with me and let me see how capable you are!"

Gu Miao, whose calves were shaking, pointed at the phone screen with an awkward but polite smile and said, "It's not even ten o'clock yet, I'm not sleepy!"

“Okay, let's watch TV for a while! I just want to tell you something about the introduction of new shareholders to Wanbao Pleasant Goat Paradise.”

"ah?!"

Gu Miao was shocked and said: "When did we introduce new shareholders? Why didn't I know?"

broken!

Without informing him of such a big thing, could this woman have changed her mind and plan to seduce him secretly?

"What are you thinking about? The person you plan to invest in is Jiangchuan Tourism Innovation Investment Co., Ltd." Coco rolled her eyes and said, "You don't know the background of this company, right?"

"Well…"

Gu Miao was stunned when he heard this.

Jiangchuan Tourism Innovation Investment Co., Ltd.? Isn't this the vest of Jiangchuan State-owned Assets Management Department? Why did they invest in Wanbao Pleasant Goat Paradise?

“Jiangchuan Pleasant Goat Paradise, especially the core animation street, comic street and game street, has now become a business card of Jiangchuan tourism.”

Coco explained to Gu Miao: "As a business card of the city, countless tourists come to visit it every day, which is also called a holy land tour."

“In this case, Jiangchuan City does not want to see us suffer from poor management, so it will only increase support by investing in shares.”

To put it bluntly, God of Wealth!

People look down on Pleasant Goat Paradise's small amount of pocket money, but are worried that Wanbao's poor management will cause it to go bankrupt, so they want to give it a try.

“I have no objection, if you want to invest, just invest!”

Gu Miao shook her head and said: "This kind of industry will indeed develop better with the help of official departments."

As a well-known two-dimensional holy land in China, Wanbao Pleasant Goat Park is a special place that holds an average of three comic exhibitions a day. It looks beautiful, but in fact it doesn't make much money.

After all, how much is the ticket rental fee?

The majority of the profits have been taken away by those chain stores and hotels and convenience stores that have settled in Leyuan Street, so the operating conditions are very average.

Gu Miao has not thought about moving this model to other cities. After all, one two-dimensional holy land is enough. If there are two, then who is the real holy land?

Helping out part of the shares and operating rights in exchange for official endorsement from Jiangchuan will be of no harm to Wanbao.

After all, city business cards require everyone to work together to maintain and promote them.

Just relying on Wanbao to shout out, is this your city's business card or Wanbao's corporate business card?
