My Animation Era

The appeal of words is far less powerful than images.

No matter how much and detailed Gu Miao said, before seeing the finished product, everyone still felt that the animation "The Magic Soldier" was boring.

really!

Gu Miao also admitted that her words were very pale. After all, just listening to the description, the plot of The Young Master is indeed boring.

So cliche.

But you can't just look at the plot. To evaluate the quality of an animation, you can't just look at one aspect. The plot is too cliche and you can just make up for it in other places.

not to mention……

Is the plot of the anime "Shen Wenjun" really cliche and boring?

"It's not bad!"

Gu Miao explained: "What you call cliche is just that you think the plot is too royal and passionate and has no new ideas."

"But think about it from another angle, is it wrong to be passionate about the king's way? The plot of "Dragon Fighter" has been complained about as a game breakthrough! In the end, isn't the effect quite good?"

Just a quick mention.

The reason why the plot of the animation "The Magic Soldier" becomes like this is that we have to talk about the original work of this animation, which is the comic "The Magic Soldier Xuanqi", and this comic...

What should I say?

Anyone who has read the original work will understand that the animation "Soldiers of the Magic" is really a god-level adaptation. The screenwriter who can adapt such a crude comic into a subtitled animation is definitely a god among gods!

The plot is all clouds!

In fact, Gu Miao feels that it is great to be able to change the original work, which is not convenient for children to watch, into "The Magic Soldier" and become a generation's childhood memories.

Compromise is also a skill.

It's not a double standard or anything, anyway, Gu Miao simply thinks that the adaptation of "The Magic Soldier" should be regarded as a relatively good typical case.

What?

Uncle Tianjing Beast, how many wives does Nangong Wentian have?

Ahem!

We don’t discuss this kind of topic in the animation of children. If you think there are a few, then there are a few. If you think it is a harem, then it is a harem. Anyway, Gu Miao will not admit it at all.

Although the animation "The Magic Soldier" is often ridiculed by people, saying that it is the first harem drama they have ever watched, ridicule is still ridicule after all.

It was impossible for Gu Miao to mark on the PPT that this was a harem drama and that so-and-so was Nangong Wentian's wife during the meeting...

This is unrealistic!

Because in the animation setting, the protagonists are generally very young, and this is not the original comic, it is impossible for Gu Miao to move closer to the harem series when formulating the plan.

"Fantasy, adventurous, and inspirational!"

Gu Miao finally concluded: "This is the label classification of "The Magic Soldier". If you have to add one, then add a funny one."

Because of the existence of the chubby little Ximen Xiao, the animation still has funny elements, and there is no problem in including it in the funny category.

But being funny is not my main job.

The main tone of the entire work is still more inclined to the level-breaking adventure of "Dragon Fighter", a royal and orthodox hot-blooded series that relies on the protagonist to save the world.

"so be it."

After a symbolic meeting, everyone's opinions were listened to, and after everyone agreed, Gu Miao nodded and said: "The animation "The Magic Soldiers" project has been officially approved, and I will be personally responsible for it."

"If any of you are interested in the deputy director of the project, please feel free to come to me and sign up!"

"No, no!"

When everyone heard this, they quickly waved their hands to express their rejection.

Mr. Gu's project is still a project that he personally supervises. Even if others are interested, they will not take the initiative to become the assistant director.

Don't ask why.

The question is that in Mr. Gu’s project team, he especially likes to have a one-spoken party. Others have no say in it and just display mascots. Who would like to be a mascot if they have nothing to do?

…

The establishment of the "Little Magical General" project did not cause much excitement or attention within Wanbao.

Still the same problem.

In everyone's eyes, this animation is indeed too mediocre based on the planning alone. The only bright spot is the setting of the mythical beast transforming into a divine weapon.

But what’s so strange about this?

Wanbao has made countless animations like this one!

Wanbao's senior executives, whose appetites have been nurtured, look down on such mediocre animations, even if the director is Mr. Gu.

What they are really optimistic about is "Bugs Bunny" being produced by Konjac Studio. After this animation project was approved, it won unanimous praise from everyone at Wanbao.

Everyone agreed that the animated "Bugs Bunny" is the company's blockbuster in the second half of the year, and is expected to break new ratings records and become a classic like "Tom and Jerry."

Their judgment is fine.

Putting aside other factors, Gu Miao is actually very optimistic about the prospects of the "Bugs Bunny" animation and feels that it is not inferior to "Crayon Shin-chan".

However, the animation project "The Magic Soldier" was despised, which made him very unhappy...

This is the childhood memory of countless people. As soon as the prelude of the theme song plays, the blood in the body begins to boil. It is an absolute hit. Why should it be looked down upon?

"No!"

"I'm very optimistic about the future of "Bugs" and I even think it's even better than "Bugs Bunny"!"

After all, Wanbao is a knowledgeable person, and he can tell the extraordinary quality of "The Magic Soldier" at a glance. And the identity of this person is also very interesting, Lao He, the general manager of Wanbao Toys.

"Mr. Gu, don't listen to their nonsense. Do they know anything about Hammer animation? In my opinion, "The Magic Soldier" is the best!"

"Never imagined……"

After receiving Lao He's comfort, Gu Miao said with emotion: "There are so many professional animators in Wanbao, but they are not as far-sighted as a toy factory director!"

"That is!"

Lao He said with a proud look on his face: "When I heard about the project "The Magic Soldier", I could tell at a glance that this project could make a lot of money and the toys would be easy to sell."

Gu Miao: "..."

I thought that this guy judged "The Magic Soldier" from aspects such as plot, setting, theme, etc. to have great potential.

Very meow!

Is this guy actually thinking that "The Legend" has a bright future because of the toy derivatives?

but……

"You're right!"

Gu Miao affirmed: "Compared to "Bugs Bunny", the peripheral derivatives of the animation "The Legend of the Warriors" are indeed better to make and sell better."

Many people didn't expect this.

Even Gu Miao himself didn't expect it at first, but after Lao He's reminder, he quickly realized that this seemed to be a fact?

The magic weapons in the "Little Magic Soldiers" animation, including the cute mythical beasts, would not be too popular when made into toys. They would definitely be best-selling and highly profitable products.

Be abstract!

The protagonists of the anime "The Magic Soldier" have handsome men and beautiful women. Even the naive Ximen Takashi is also very distinctive in appearance.

Even without the blessing of divine weapons and beasts, just based on the good looks of Nangong Wentian and several heroines, there is no need to worry about selling the peripherals of this animation.

When I was a kid, I bought stickers of Nangong Wentian and Tie Xin and put them on my stationery boxes. They are still there now...
