My Animation Era

As we all know, the animation "Shen Wen Xiao Jiang" is adapted from the well-known adult comic "Shen Wen Xuan Qi".

However, the two works are not actually closely related.

Think about it too.

How could a comic with extremely crude adult content have much to do with a passionate adventure animation?

The original is so outrageous.

Therefore, during the adaptation process, the screenwriter deleted most of the original plot and also made major changes to the character design. This is how the final animation of "The Magic Soldier" was created.

Trivia!

Although "Shen Wen Xiao Jiang" has changed a lot of plot and character settings based on the original work "Shen Wen Xuan Qi", it has well restored the world view and background settings of the original work.

Didn't you expect that?

This is the reason why Gu Miao said that "The Divine Soldier" is a god-level adaptation.

It retains the essence of the original work and the most charming world view and background setting system. At the same time, it uses the Q version of the characters to transform the original adult plot into a passionate adventure animation for children. This operation is definitely a god among gods!

Lao Zhang and the others are right.

From a plot point of view alone, "The Magic Soldier" is indeed not outstanding, but combined with the characters of handsome men and women, as well as the combination of handsome magic soldiers, this animation becomes particularly exciting and beautiful.

Yes!

As an animation that most people born in the 1990s have watched, "The Magic Soldier" is certainly a childhood memory for many people.

But many people don’t actually understand the real reason why they were obsessed with this animation when they were young. They think it was because the plot was so exciting that they became addicted to it!

"All kinds of mythical beasts, cute or mighty and handsome, can transform into magic weapons, cool and handsome magic beasts, a protagonist group that makes people fall in love with them at a glance..."

Gu Miao pondered: "These are the magic weapons to attract the audience's attention. Without these factors, the plot alone cannot retain the children."

The first thing to do is the magic weapon.

As the name suggests, the magic soldier is in front and the young general is behind. It makes sense to be the magic soldier first.

There are many magic weapons in the animation.

Among them, the Sky Crystal Sword transformed from the Sky Crystal Beast and held by the male protagonist Nangong Wentian is naturally the most important.

However, the design of the Sky Crystal Sword, including the main body of the Sky Crystal Beast, has long been completed, and what Gu Miao had previously used PPT to show to everyone was the finished material.

Therefore, the focus of this design will be the Phoenix Emperor Axe, Taixu Yo-Yo, Shennong Ruler, Tiger Soul, Shifang Brightness, Tianjingzi Sword, etc.

some of……

The most difficult thing for everyone is the Divine Weapon Beast and the Divine Weapon, Xiao Taixu, the Divine Weapon Beast who has followed Ximen Xiao and protected the Ximen family for generations.

This is a flying red-shelled turtle, and its appearance doesn’t look like anything special. But when it transforms into the form of a divine weapon, it's unbelievable.

"no……"

Director Wang, who was once again helping Gu Miao, saw the design sketch and couldn't help complaining: "This thing is a magic weapon? Which magic weapon is it based on? Don't tell me it's a yo-yo?"

"No prototype!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said.

The magic weapons in the animation "Little Magic Soldiers" basically have their own prototypes, but the Taixu Yo-Yo that Little Taixu turned into has no prototype.

This is actually very confusing!

Regardless of the original comics, Gu Miao believes that the reason why the animated version of Xiao Taixu turned into a yo-yo was mainly to set off Ximen Xiao's character temperament.

Don't ask, it's just funny if you ask.

The position of Ximen Xiao, a chubby little guy, in the protagonist group is almost as a funny person responsible for enlivening the atmosphere.

Then his magic weapon naturally doesn't take the ordinary route, carrying a yo-yo, which is very reasonable!

not to mention……

What happened to little Taixu turning into a yo-yo?

Didn't you see that its father, the Taixu Beast, can turn into a big spinning top and is nicknamed "The No. 1 Electric Fan in the Jade Dragon Kingdom"?

…

Complaints about appearance are complaints. In fact, the father and son duo of Little Taixu and Taixu Beast have a great origin for the "Taixu" in their names.

To be honest, it can be considered a prototype.

And there is another point. Little Taixu's father is Taixu Beast. In fact, in Gu Miao's eyes, he should be regarded as the number one combat force in the Jade Dragon Kingdom.

Sky crystal beast?

The little guy may have great potential, but after all, he has just been born, so in terms of experience, he is still a bit behind.

Shocked?

This thing became a god in the early stage, but was reduced to a dog in the later stage. It is simply the divine version of Ultraman Zero. The gap between the front and the back is really too big.

On the other hand, the Taixu Beast gives people a very fierce feeling when it debuts, and it saves the battle many times. Judging from the strength shown in the animation, except for the two bosses, it has basically no opponents. It is indeed one of the top divine weapon beasts in the Jade Dragon Kingdom. one.

After talking to this point, in fact, everyone in the production team is no longer so resistant to the yo-yo that Little Taixu turned into.

After all, Mr. Gu said it.

Ximen Xiao's position is actually that of Green Leaf, who plays a funny role in the team. During the battle, a few shots with a water gun will be enough. He and Xiao Taixu don't need to do anything. The tough battle has to be fought by Tianjing Beast and Nangong Wentian.

so……

Anyway, it’s the OB position in a team fight, so what’s wrong with turning into a yo-yo? Even more outrageous, it can be transformed into a magic four-wheel drive!

After understanding the team positioning of each divine weapon beast, and then designing an exclusive divine weapon form based on its unique abilities, this task becomes easy.

While everyone was busy designing various magical beasts and their shapes, Director Wang suddenly thought of a question.

Little Taixu... Taixu beast?

This is wrong!

In the animation "Little Magic Soldier", each magic weapon is an independent individual, and there is no such thing as the same kind or descendant.

Even the Shadow Sky Crystal Beast is a cloned sibling, not the cub of the Sky Crystal Beast, and there is no blood relationship.

Then here comes the problem!

Why can the Taixu beast give birth to a small Taixu? Since Taixu has called him daddy since he was little, the Taixu beast should be male, right? Who is its spouse?

Hermaphroditic, self-produced and sold?

Director Wang, who was thinking deeply and fearfully, hurriedly raised his question to Mr. Gu, wanting to know where did Little Taixu come from?

The most important thing is, can the Divine Weapon Beast reproduce like ordinary Divine Beasts? If possible, if they continue to multiply, it stands to reason that this world should have been controlled by one person long ago, and the magic weapons will be on the streets.

Why are there so few divine beasts in anime?

"Well!"

Director Wang's question almost burned Gu Miao's CPU. He never dreamed that Director Wang would actually care about how to breed the divine weapon beasts.

How did he answer this?

"Theoretically, the Divine Weapon Beasts are all single individuals, and there is no possibility of reproduction and giving birth to offspring."

Gu Miao first confirmed Director Wang's guess. After all, the Divine Weapon Beast was so rare that it would have multiplied long ago.

As for the Taixu beast and the little Taixu...

Gu Miao thought of some settings in the original work and explained: "Little Taixu is not actually the child of Taixu Beast, but a part of Taixu Beast's body."

ah? !

Director Wang was stunned.
