My Animation Era

Koizumi didn't lie.

When he officially joined the animation production team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and served as deputy director, the number of documents he compiled alone amounted to 36.7G, which shocked everyone.

This is still an electronic document.

There are also a large number of manuscripts and storyboards. It can be seen that he has indeed made a lot of preparations for the Three Kingdoms animation. This perseverance is really admirable.

Gu Miao expressed satisfaction with this.

Although Koizumi is well-known in the industry, his last work failed after all, which made Gu Miao somewhat doubtful when using him.

Fortunately, he was right.

With the participation of Koizumi and his partners, the production of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has entered the fast lane, and the progress is as fast as a rocket, incredibly fast.

And on the other side.

Gu Miao's new work is not progressing very smoothly. The fastest completed animation project of "The Magic Soldier" is actually the theme song "The Light Spot of Dreams". Who dares to believe this?

Outrageous!

The animation production team hasn't even gathered the manpower yet, so the theme song has been finished first.

Gu Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes while listening to the Chinese theme song "The Light Spot of Dreams" composed by the King of Pop, lyrics written by Master Cao, and sung by Sweetheart Leader.

Do you still need to listen to this song?

joke! He can recite the lyrics completely, it's like they are engraved in his DNA. What should he listen to? Just use it directly!

If this song is not suitable, then there is no theme song that is more suitable for the "Arrogant Soldier" animation.

Music isn't the problem.

With so many big names and stars gathered together, it’s difficult to say anything else about the animation “The Legend”, but the music aspect is definitely satisfying.

certainly!

Gu Miao strongly resists the saying that "a bad movie makes a great song", and he doesn't want "The Magic Soldier" to bear this title, so he cares more about the content production of the animation than the music.

The styling design work for the mythical beast and the divine weapon beast has been completed previously, and the overall design is relatively in line with the planning needs. Gu Miao's next step is to design the images and personalities of the main characters of the animation "The Magic Soldier".

The first is Nangong Wentian!

As the undisputed number one leading actor in animation, and also the most capable character among the protagonists, Nangong Wentian's image design is very sophisticated.

First, hair color…

If an anime character wants to be eye-catching in appearance, hair is definitely an aspect that cannot be ignored.

for example.

"Yu-Gi-Oh" is an example of cool hair design. You can tell the difference between the protagonist and the supporting characters at a glance.

In many magical girl-type animations, there is also a strange setting that "hair color distinguishes good from evil". Purple and black are both symbols of evil, and magical girls’ hair colors are all very bright, either golden or blue, green, red and orange...

As the male protagonist Nangong Wentian, the first thing everyone thinks of is red hair color!

Why red?

Because anime prefers to use red hair to highlight the "passionate and brave" character of the protagonist. If you don't believe it, look at the male protagonists of those hot-blooded comics. Are they all brave and enthusiastic, and occasionally a little reckless?

In everyone's understanding, "The Magic Soldier" should also belong to this type of passionate adventure series.

Correspondingly, as the male protagonist, Nangong Wentian should also have character traits such as enthusiasm and bravery, so it makes sense to use red hair to highlight his character.

"I think it's too tacky."

Gu Miao felt it was inappropriate. First of all, red hair was too greasy. She had seen so many red-haired anime heroes, and to be honest, no one could tell who was who.

Secondly, it is also unreasonable to apply the character of the traditional hot-blooded male protagonist to Nangong Wentian.

Nangong Wentian is not so much the male protagonist of a hot-blooded comic as he is the male protagonist of Asasi.

What is his personality like?

Optimistic and confident, kind and brave, full of sense of justice and responsibility, brave but not reckless, upright but not honest...

Such a character has some characteristics of the passionate male protagonist and some characteristics of the Asasi male protagonist. He can be considered a relatively "perfect" person.

Red hair could not reflect Nangong Wentian's gentle, kind, chic and elegant side, so Gu Miao felt that blue hair was more appropriate.

And it’s blue!

This blue should not be too dark, otherwise it will look strange. The blue should be slightly lighter, so that it looks like the blue sky.

Next is the facial features!

Sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, big eyes and small mouth, these characteristics that highlight the handsomeness of the character are all arranged for Nangong Wentian. Anyway, he will be as handsome as he wants.

The clothes are mainly divided into regular clothes and armor that combines with the Sky Crystal Beast.

No need to say more about regular service.

Gu Miao's focus was mainly on the set of sky crystal armor that Wentian wore after merging with the sky crystal beast.

If Nangong Wentian was in a normal state, he might be just like the little brother next door, giving people a sense of warmth and intimacy like a spring breeze.

Then, while wearing the Sky Crystal Armor and holding the Sky Crystal Sword, Nangong Wentian must show the protagonist's unique "powerful spirit", and the design must be closer to the solemn and solemn direction.

This work lasted a full week.

Do not misunderstand!

It wasn't that Gu Miao was deliberately trying to be a foreigner, but that Nangong Wentian had too many sets of sky crystal armor.

There is a frost version of the Sky Crystal Armor, a flame version of the Sky Crystal Armor, a light version of the Sky Crystal Armor, a thunder version of the Sky Crystal Armor, and so on.

It's outrageous to say it...

Nangong Wentian has worn more styles of sky crystal armor than he has worn regular clothes. It took a lot of thought to design his image.

Fortunately, it's mostly just a color change.

After a week of polishing and perfection, the brand new two-dimensional image of Nangong Wentian was loved by everyone on the production team.

The girls in the company even had love in their eyes, full of girl-obsessed expressions. Fortunately, Nangong Wentian is a paper man, otherwise the male colleagues would not know how sour they would be.

certainly!

Female colleagues love Nangong Wentian, and male colleagues also have their own loves.

The three animated female characters Bei Mingxue, Dongfang Tiexin and Nangong Wenya have won unanimous praise from boys since their images were released.

The production team of the animation "The Magic Soldier" is probably the one with the most harmonious atmosphere in Wanbao, and it is also the production team with the most flavor in the fandom.

Everyone has their own choice of husband/wife, and some have more than one.

The last animation with handsome men and beautiful women, Gu Miao remembers, was "The Prince of Tennis". At that time, there were many members of the production team who were crazy about the characters in the animation.

There is a little trivia.

Some people may think, how can a professional animator be obsessed with the animated characters he created?

Aren’t those people who are obsessed with animated characters, or even obsessed with them, just two-dimensional nerds?

actually not.

Every creator will have a different kind of emotion towards the characters they create. Because he was created by you, you know him too well, so your feelings are deeper than ordinary people.

Within animation companies, there are many people who are obsessed with an anime character, at least Wanbao has a lot of them.
