My Animation Era

The theatrical version of Crayon Shin-chan will not be released in time for this year’s Spring Festival and is expected to be released during the back-to-school season.

This is actually a good thing.

Although the Spring Festival is the time of year when the movie market is at its highest and people are most enthusiastic about watching movies, the competition is too fierce and cruel.

Avoiding the Spring Festival period seems to be a helpless choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but without such cruel and fierce competition, maybe it can achieve higher box office during the school season?

There are no absolutes in anything!

After leaving Konjac Studio, Gu Miao was not in a hurry to go home, but turned a corner and went to Feiyang Studio where Guo Hongwei was.

The animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" will be produced by Feiyang Studio, with Guo Hongwei as the director and Lao Zhang as the producer.

Originally, Gu Miao felt that no matter how hard his apprentice Xiao Guo worked, he would still be a newly married young man with a pregnant wife, so he had to be paired with a down-to-earth and reliable assistant director.

In this way, if Xiao Guo's wife has something to do or is about to give birth, he can transfer the work to the assistant director as soon as possible, so that he will not be in a panic and can't find someone to take over.

The idea is excellent.

But who would have thought that Xiao Guo would not appreciate it and would not accept anything Gu Miao forced his way into as the assistant director.

If you don’t want it, just don’t want it…

If he doesn't appreciate it, can Gu Miao force him to accept it? He definitely couldn't do such a thing.

Without a substitute assistant director, the production team of the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" became Gu Miao's biggest worry, and he had to ask about the specific situation every now and then.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

As an experienced producer who has personally directed and produced many excellent TV animations, Xiao Guo's work attitude deserves recognition.

Every aspect was handled very well.

Gu Miao mentioned before that the question about how carp can live in a marine environment has also been solved by his hands.

"This is fictional animation!"

"Since it's a fictional story, what's wrong with carps living in the ocean? If I were willing, I could let carps wear spacesuits and travel in space!"

Guo Hongwei looked confident and determined. He had already thought out his words in advance before the animation was broadcast.

"very good!"

Gu Miao admired his shameless expression. To make animation, you must have this kind of "unruly" cheekiness.

He pursues rigorous logic in everything, always talks about rationality and science, and always talks about Newton's coffin board. What kind of animator is that?

The second dimension is not Newtonian.

Even anti-gravity skirts can't solve the problem. What's wrong with a carp living in a non-freshwater environment and making friends with turtles and jellyfish?

"We have our own national conditions in the second dimension! All physical rules and scientific basis must serve the plot setting."

The more Guo Hongwei talked, the more excited he became, as if he had realized some supreme law. He shook his head and said: "In the two-dimensional world, all the rules and laws are made by us. In professional terms, we are the creators." God of the World.”

"For example, people will starve to death if they don't eat. This is an iron law of real life and cannot be broken."

"But in the two-dimensional world, I can create a weird setting. If people don't eat, they can obtain the energy necessary for survival just by breathing..."

Ah, yes, yes!

With this ability to "make the rules of the universe", every animator can indeed be called a creator god.

From this perspective.

You told a creator god that a perpetual motion machine does not exist and that it is a fictitious product. Do you believe that he then came up with a perpetual motion machine to prove that the laws of physics you mentioned do not work?

"You are right, but..."

"After all, animation is a form of artistic expression that is derived from reality and transcends reality."

Gu Miao tried to use her own understanding to teach Xiao Guo: "You can say that animation does not need to abide by the physical rules and special laws of the real world, but it cannot completely transcend reality."

This is a very contradictory point.

Animation is a product of fiction. The stories told in many cartoons and the settings anchored by screenwriters and directors can never happen in the real world.

for example.

Animations like "Bear Bears" are very far from reality, because bears in reality cannot speak, let alone walk upright.

But can you say that this kind of animation is completely divorced from reality?

not at all!

No matter how outrageous "Bear Bears" is, no matter how unscientific Bear Big Bear 2 is, they are still endowed with strong "humanity" and "bear nature".

Xiong Er loves to eat honey. This is a plot designed based on the characteristics of bears. Xiong Da and Xiong Er’s speaking and acting style are also lines designed based on human thinking.

Therefore, although "Bear Bears" is very unscientific and unreasonable, if you think about it carefully, this animation is not purely fictional and completely divorced from reality.

Animation, especially fantasy animation, must be divorced from reality and not bound by the rules of reality, but it must not be completely divorced from reality. It must also follow "basic rules".

"I generally understand."

Guo Hongwei nodded and said: "It means that for a character like Bubble, as a carp, we give it human characteristics. It can speak and be wise. This is the part that is divorced from reality."

"But Paopao is filial to his grandma, unites his friends, is naughty but kind and brave. These excellent qualities of human beings are part of reality."

"right!"

Seeing that Xiao Guo understood the key, Gu Miao said happily: "The truth is very simple, as long as you understand it."

In one sentence:

Newton can't control the second dimension, but Maton, Yangton, and Xiongton can!

Animation is an art form. As an art, you can express your talent as much as you want, but you must never forget the basic principle that art is derived from reality.

If an animation completely cuts off its connection with reality, then a situation will arise...

You're screwed!

Apart from the director, no one else can understand this kind of animation, so what’s the point of making it? Is it to show off how talented you are in art?

Stop it!

The works of those masters of abstract painting can at least find buyers with similar tastes, so they can sell for high prices.

If no one can appreciate your painting except yourself, and everyone thinks it is based on a reply, then it is worthless shit.

Animation is exactly what the name suggests.

In the most straightforward language, animation is a "painting" that moves continuously.

Therefore, this principle is also feasible when applied to the field of animation. You can take the artistic route, but don’t take the road of “everyone is drunk and I am alone”.

If you are the enemy of the whole world, the audience will inevitably abandon you ruthlessly. Art that no one can appreciate is not called art.
