My Animation Era

"Mr. Gu, there is a misunderstanding!"

"This reporter just quoted something out of context. How can I dare to be disrespectful to you? What I mean is obviously incomparable to you. I'm still far behind."

Huang Kun, who almost stepped into the office with his left foot first and was fired when he first arrived at the company, explained with grievance when faced with Gu Miao's questioning.

"The reason why I accepted the interview was to build momentum for "Fruit Treasure Attack". Who knew that this reporter had no professional ethics and was just trying to dig a hole for me..."

"Okay, okay!"

Gu Miao waved her hand and signaled to Huang Kun that there was no need to say anything else: "Let's put aside the misunderstanding, what's going on with Fruit Treasure Special Attack? Is it going to be broadcast so soon?"

"Fast?"

"I think it's okay! It's already September. If I don't find a chance to broadcast it, will it crash with you at the end of the year?" Huang Kun said speechlessly.

Stop it!

Even with Huang Kun's courage, he didn't dare to collide with Mr. Gu. It's not like an egg hits a rock, or a toy car hits a dump truck, and it breaks into pieces at the first touch!

As a senior animation director at Wanbao, Huang Kun has followed Gu Miao for so long and knows the power of Gu Miao's new work better than anyone else.

To maximize viewership.

This is Huang Kun's plan to avoid invincible opponents and prepare in advance for the broadcast of the animated "Fruit Attack".

What's more, this is not fast.

The project of "Fruit Treasure Attack" was established very early, and preparations began in the first half of the year. In addition, Wanbao Animation has a strong team, so it is normal to consider broadcasting it now.

This involves an issue of "production strength".

If it were another small workshop and a small team producing the animation "Fruit Attack", it might take as long as a year. After all, the scale and financial resources are limited, and the manpower is insufficient, so the production progress must be unsatisfactory.

But what is the scale of Wanbao Animation?

The same animation project may take at least eight months in other companies, but in a company of Wanbao's size, it can take at most four months, and no more.

Do not ask!

The question is, the more money you have, the more brothers you will have.

It is based on this premise that the first season of the 52-episode animation "Fruit Attack" was directed by Huang Kun in just four and a half months.

"Actually, it can be faster!"

"The main reason is that post-production is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If the process is optimized, I feel that three months will be enough." Huang Kun said with regret.

"There's no need to pursue speed."

Gu Miao shook her head and disagreed with Huang Kun's view: "Don't follow me. For you, the length of the construction period is not important. What is important is the quality and quantity of the work."

It’s impossible to imitate him!

Gu Miao is a shameful copycat. When making animations, he has the memories of his previous life as a reference and will basically not make any detours.

Therefore, the construction period was shortened a lot.

But Huang Kun is different. He has no reference basis. In order to pursue a shorter construction period, he is very likely to take detours and make wrong judgments or choices.

Taking detours can be fatal...

To give a simple example, before Gu Miao started making "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year", she knew what the main "selling points" and "attention points" of that rabbit were, but did anyone else know?

Obviously, they don't know.

If another director were to film Na Rabbit, just based on the planning, he would most likely take a detour and make Na Rabbit into a Junko-oriented animation that is "only funny but not touching".

One thought, heaven and hell!

Gu Miao is special. He hopes that not only Huang Kun, but also Wanbao animation directors such as Hou Bin and Guo Hongwei will not imitate him.

It's better to make your own way.

If you study with him, it doesn't matter if you don't learn anything. You may also end up learning because of it, go astray and never recover.

"I see."

After hearing Mr. Gu's instructions, Huang Kun nodded seriously.

In fact, no need to remind him, he knew very well that he could not learn from Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu was really so easy to imitate, wouldn’t Guoman be revitalized and dominate the world long ago?

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Seeing that Huang Kun understood what he meant, Gu Miao immediately waved his hand and said: "Since the animation has been completed, it should be broadcast in the next two days, right?"

"Not so fast..."

"There is still a problem that has not been solved! If this problem is not solved, the animation will not be broadcast." Huang Kun said with a grimace.

"what is the problem?"

"theme song!"

…

The animation "Fruit Attack" has been produced and can be broadcast on TV stations at any time.

But there's a problem right now.

That is, the animation is about to be broadcast, and the theme song has not yet been officially finalized, let alone recorded and synthesized.

According to Huang Kun's idea.

Since "Fruit Attack" is considered a "non-mainstream" sequel to "The Three Jelly Musketeers", and the two are basically of the same origin, it is enough to just use the theme song of the previous game.

But others find it inappropriate.

[The fat one is the sun, the bulging ones are the hills, and there are three idlers on the scenic road. 】

[One has great ambitions to be a pillar, one is working hard to do business, and one is too blessed to be exaggerated...]

This theme song of the same name called "The Three Jelly Musketeers" has become a household name anime song with the broadcast of the previous animation.

But that's why.

This song is marked with a very conspicuous "Jelly Three Musketeers" mark. Anyone who hears this song will immediately think of the Three Jelly Musketeers.

The animation team thinks so.

Although "Fruit Attack" was born out of "The Three Jelly Musketeers", the two are obviously not the same series, and they should be separated to prevent the audience from confusing them.

Based on this consideration, Huang Kun's biggest headache was to tailor an animation theme song for the animation "Fruit Attack".

Fortunately, there is also Mr. Gu!

After his narration, Gu Miao, who knew how important this matter was, specially found Master Cao and restored the highly popular song of the same name from his previous life based on his remaining memories.

[Fat and obese, but puffing up your chest and traveling to distant places, being cowardly is just a superficial phenomenon...]

[Ping ping pong pong competes with the enemy, the pots and pans lose their direction, and the battle is won even if you brush your teeth, wash your face, and drink soda. 】

[It is my idea to be a chivalrous and righteous person. You can’t imagine the fruit treasure special attack. Holding the magic sword in your hand will make your hope bloom perfectly~~]

Wuhu! take off!

After listening to the demo of this song in the recording studio, Gu Miao showed a very satisfied smile.

Right!

When the singer hired by Wanbao sang "Ping Ping Pong Pong against the enemy", the long-lost childhood memories suddenly came to mind.

Thinking of that summer, the happy time of sitting in front of the TV with my job in hand, shouting "Fruit and mecha together"...

This is the fruit treasure special attack, this is the theme song, this is the childhood memory!

I dare not say anything else, at least this is the theme song of the anime called "Fruit Treasure Attack", which is the same as the theme song of the same name of "Pig Man". Gu Miao can hum it with her eyes closed.

The popularity is simply too high!

In that era when "Lonely Warrior" and "Reverse War" had not yet become popular, what should you sing to "code to each other" with primary school students?

pick one of two!

Either sing "Pig Man" or "Fruit Treasure Attack", anyway, you can always match the secret code and make the primary school students look at you with admiration.
