My Animation Era

Controlling content standards has always been the number one problem that plagues many literary and artistic creators.

Too big?

The audience enjoys watching it, but the end result is not much better. They are usually reported and then taken off the shelves for rectification or suspended.

Too conservative?

This will inevitably miss many viewers, and the content scale is too conservative, and sometimes it is forced to delete and modify many exciting plots, making the originally brilliant script become mediocre.

Take animation for example.

Excellent animation producers are basically speculators who walk on the edge of danger, jumping repeatedly between passing the review and not passing the review.

This is not a curse!

Gu Miao himself is such a person, so when he said this, he did not have any derogatory meaning, but was stating an objective fact.

"Crayon Shin-chan" is a very interesting animation, but it is also a very dangerous animation, because many things cannot be decided by Wanbao, and it depends on the reviewer's face.

Konjac Studio has great ideas.

If they can't figure out the boundary, then ask others and use other people's experiences to deduce where the boundary line is.

As the saying goes, cross the river by feeling the stones!

What Konjac Studio does is actually equivalent to crossing the river by following your peers. Because it was their first time doing such an animation project, they could only draw lessons from their peers.

In fact, Gu Miao feels...

Xiaoqiu is still too much!

There are so many great people in your own company, so why go and ask your peers? Can't you just come and ask him? Is his Gu Sanshui worse than others?

Forget it, don't be angry with him.

Seeing that Xiao Qiu had just joined Wanbao and was not yet fully aware of how wise Mr. Gu was, Gu Miao forgave him.

"The new guy is not very sensible."

Gu Miao said magnanimously: "Forget it this time, next time something like this happens again, ask Xiao Qiu to call me directly! No matter what the question is, I can answer it for him."

Except for math problems and childbirth, which Mr. Gu can't do anything about, Mr. Gu can definitely help with other things.

As a family, don’t be so open-minded!

As a team that has just joined Wanbao, Konjac Studio is indeed a bit unfamiliar with other people, and there is not much communication with them.

It's okay for a short period of time, but over time like them there will definitely be problems.

In order to help Konjac Studio integrate into the Wanbao family, promote their communication with other people, and avoid the situation of "working behind closed doors", Gu Miao was really worried.

Of course, as the company's business grew bigger and bigger, it was impossible for him to focus all his energy on one studio. He had to take care of other people's feelings.

After briefly understanding the situation of Konjac Studio, Gu Miao immediately asked about the progress of Lightning Studio's "four-wheel drive" project.

"Okay……"

Ma Kui doesn’t know much about Lightning Studio, or more precisely, he doesn’t know much about four-wheel drive, so he doesn’t know the specific situation.

However, he heard that after getting creativity and inspiration from Mr. Gu, Lightning Studio quickly connected with Wanbao Toys Co., Ltd. and realized the design and mass production of the first batch of four-wheel drive vehicles.

The animation is probably going to be fast too!

After all, producing TV animations with the nature of "toy commercials" has always been Lightning Studio's specialty.

With their rich experience in producing the "Lightning Rush" series, combined with the simple gameplay of four-wheel drive vehicles, the animated "4WD Brothers" project is not a problem for them at all.

Perhaps the only thing you need to worry about is that Lightning Studio's understanding of "four-wheel drive" may be a little off track...

"you sure?"

When Gu Miao first learned that Lightning Studio's understanding of the "four-wheel-drive vehicle" project had some deviations, and it actually developed into a "rail car" project, she felt bad.

These two are the same type.

Strictly speaking, rail cars, whether unrestricted rail cars or full-coverage rail cars, are actually derivatives of traditional four-wheel drive vehicles, that is, "four-wheel drive model cars".

So the equal sign is possible.

But you cannot use rail cars, especially full-coverage rail cars, to directly replace traditional four-wheel drive vehicles. Because among traditional four-wheel drive models, there are also models with "exposed" wheels.

To put it simply, can you say that a four-wheel drive vehicle with steering wheels like the F1 racing car is a full-coverage track car?

Think about it from another angle.

Defining the four-wheel drive project in the name of a rail car is a bit too narrow. Because the racing track for four-wheel drive vehicles is not just a track.

Sand, ditches, concrete floors, ice... Any venue that meets the standard of flatness can be used as a racing track for four-wheel drive vehicles, rather than just a "track".

Lightning Studio went astray.

In their understanding, four-wheel drive vehicles can only fly in a direction on the track. In other venues, the "guide wheels" are of little use.

Big mistake!

Their understanding has been completely limited to the "track", completely locking the freedom of the four-wheel drive vehicle.

Gu Miao was very dissatisfied with this and quickly made a phone call to express her doubts:

"Can't four-wheel drive vehicles speed on the grass, on the sand, or in my living room? Do they have to use tracks?"

"Use your pig brains!"

"How many children are willing to spend money to buy the track? The main force in toy sales depends on four-wheel drive vehicles! If the children buy four-wheel drive vehicles, how can you control them?"

It's so stupid!

If the four-wheel drive project is focused on "rail cars", then this project will be completely abandoned.

Because when the children think about it, this thing is very troublesome. Even if it doesn’t have a remote control, it has to buy a special track to run. Do I have to fill my schoolbag with track parts before I can go to school to find friends to play with?

The threshold for rail cars is too high!

You cannot use this name, let alone use tracks to restrict children and restrict the development of four-wheel drive projects.

The animation should emphasize that even if there is no professional track or a suitable track, a four-wheel drive vehicle can still run at high speeds.

What about the direction?

Without a track, the guide wheels have difficulty functioning, and four-wheel drive vehicles are scurrying around...

What kind of problem is this?

The four-wheel-drive vehicle was scurrying around, so wouldn't it be enough to chase them all the way? As long as the car doesn't end up in the septic tank, it doesn't really matter.

Take ten thousand steps back!

Even if the car falls into a septic tank today, we have to find a way to fish it out and then let it continue running until the battery is exhausted and it can no longer run.

After severely criticizing Lightning Studio and asking them to abandon the idea of ​​converting the four-wheel drive project into a "rail car" project, Gu Miao pointed out another problem.

Four-wheel drive vehicles are not remote control vehicles and should not be blindly pursued for speed.

Not only that, toy companies should also work on parts to control the speed of four-wheel drive vehicles.

Otherwise, four-wheel drive vehicles will soon develop in the direction of "unlimited rail cars". Everyone is pursuing a top speed of more than 100km/h, which is too dangerous.

Moreover, this also deviates from the original intention of "toys" and gradually goes to the other extreme.
