My Animation Era

"Huh? Funny show?"

The day after the animation "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" premiered, Gu Miao accidentally came across a new video from the well-known animation blogger Liu Zida while scrolling through videos.

He was stunned when he saw Liu Zida in the video complaining to his fans that "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" was selling dog meat over others, saying that it was a gourmet show but actually a comedy show.

false promotion?

This is a bit much!

In the plot of the animation "Master Chef Xiao Fugui", although the proportion of cooking skills or food is not as high as that of "The Little Master of China", it is not low. It can be said to be a gourmet show.

As for the comment about funny animation, Gu Miao just smiled and didn't take it too seriously.

Is it funny?

It's really funny to watch now. After all, the plot has just begun and hasn't officially kicked off yet, so it makes sense for everyone to think it's funny.

But Gu Miao has not forgotten the plot tone he and Hou Bin set for "Master Chef Little Fugui".

Do you understand that you are happy first and then sad?

The happier you laugh now, the more uncomfortable you will feel later. The audience said it was a funny episode, that is, Gu Miao not only did not refute, but even strongly agreed.

Ah, yes, yes!

Funny episode, very funny!

I hope that when these people are depressed by the ending, they can still be as tough as ever, but don't change their words and say that this is a depression episode.

"Depressing? Isn't it inspirational?"

Hou Bin raised his eyebrows and said: "A young man from the countryside, with his unremitting efforts and superb cooking skills, finally became the chief royal chef. How inspiring and inspiring!"

"You started too?"

"I don't know if it's inspirational or not. I only know that your ending will make at least half of the audience hate you to the core." Gu Miao rolled her eyes.

How about this inspirational thing?

If you want to say whether "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" has inspirational elements, it certainly does, but it is more of a spicy and satirical one.

No matter how good Xiao Fugui's cooking skills are, what if he becomes the chief royal chef?

He couldn't save his loved ones, and he couldn't keep his loved ones and friends. In that turbulent era, Xiao Fugui proved one thing with his own experience: being able to cook is of no use!

Born in troubled times, wrapped up in fate with no room for struggle, even if he became the best cook in the world, there would still be no happy ending.

As the old saying goes: It's better to be a peace dog than a troubled person!

In the past, Gu Miao only regarded this sentence as a sentiment used by the elderly to express the quality of life in the new era.

But it wasn't until he watched "The Magic Chef Xiao Fugui" and later studied history and understood the basic concepts of the so-called troubled times that he became convinced of this sentence.

"Why do you hate me?"

Hou Bin shook his head and said: "Although these characters, Xiao Lizi, Xiao Feidi, Xiao Fugui, Dou Sprout and Old Man Hong, were created by me, their fates were not determined by me."

"That was the way it was at that time. I tried my best to avoid those darker and crueler places."

"If even a story of this level feels depressing and dark and cannot be accepted in the heart, then wouldn't they be suffocated on the spot when they learn about the story of rich fish and meat in the palace and folk exchange of children for food?"

There is nothing wrong with that.

The animation plot is relatively conservative and beautified.

If the truly depressing and dark side of that troubled time was put on TV and made into animation for children to watch, it would scare many people and become a nightmare for many children who wake up at midnight!

…

After the animation "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" was launched, the ratings and playback volume increased rapidly, and the reputation was rock solid.

It is worth mentioning that.

Many people on the Internet are very interested in the background story of this animation and want to know whether there are real prototypes for each character?

"Purely fictitious!"

Faced with this problem, Hou Bin, as the chief director, immediately stood up and denied: "Animated characters do not have so-called realistic prototypes. Please don't make random assumptions."

This cannot be admitted.

When it comes to history, even if the animated characters really have prototypes, the production team dare not admit it and can only use "pure fiction" to clarify the prevarication.

As for whether the audience believes it or not?

Who cares!

Anyway, Wanbao officials have said that the plot of the animation is purely fictional. If you insist that this is a historical animation and the characters have their own real-life prototypes, then Wanbao has nothing to do with it.

Of course, this type of audience is relatively small.

Since most of the audience for animations are children under the age of 14, their understanding of history is not as deep as that of adults, so they don’t know Lafayette, and they don’t want to know who the so-called Lord K is.

Their idea is very simple, just make the animation look good!

Is the animation good?

Regarding this question, even the most discerning audience will sincerely say "it's okay" when faced with "Master Chef Xiao Fugui".

Mainly because the rhythm is very refreshing.

The plot rhythm of "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" seems to be similar to that of a TV series, and it is full of laughs, making it easy for people to watch.

The only pity is...

The animation "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" is good in every aspect, but it is not very good at developing peripheral derivatives.

Not even as good as Crayon Shin-chan!

Although "Crayon Shin-chan" is also an animation that is not easy to make peripheral derivatives, related derivatives, especially products with Shin-chan's image on the packaging, actually sell well.

On the other hand, what about Xiao Fugui?

If you wear a Crayon Shin-chan T-shirt on the street, no one will think it's strange, but if you wear a "Master Chef Xiao Fukui" T-shirt on the street, you will look very unique.

“If it’s not easy to do, you have to do it.”

Gu Miao knew Lao He's difficulties, but even so, he did not want to miss any opportunity to make money, and asked Lao He to make a batch of derivative peripherals of "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" to test the water.

Does anyone buy it?

Ignoring this issue for now, Wanbao’s other animations have derivatives, so Master Chef Xiao Fugui can’t be special, right? All must be treated equally!

Speaking of derivative peripherals and Crayon Shin-chan, Gu Miao has not forgotten that Wanbao has a theatrical version waiting to be released in the upcoming spring semester.

Dynamic Superman vs. Swimsuit Demon!

Gu Miao had complained about this movie title more than once, but Qiu couldn't stand it, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.

The title is not the point.

The key point is that in this theatrical version, in addition to Xiaoxin's family, the protagonists include the "Dynamic Superman" who Xiaoxin particularly likes and is also very popular with the audience.

This is Wanbao’s original special photography transformation hero, the only one made by Scorpion Baba!

Considering that the Dynamic Superman will definitely attract the attention of children after the theatrical version is released, Gu Miao specifically asked Lao He to design and produce a variety of toys around the Dynamic Superman.

in particular……

The "Dynamic Superman Card", which has special functions and plays a lot of roles in the theatrical version, must be made in real form.

In the plot of the movie, No. 99 is the number of the dynamic Superman card that Xiaoxin draws. Gu Miao knows that the children will definitely want the same card as Xiaoxin.

In order to draw this card, the children shouldn't mind giving half of their pocket money to Uncle Gu, right?

Dynamic Superman seems to have a lot of peripherals. I saw it once when I was a kid...
