My Animation Era

Every big scene must be accompanied by magnificent and shocking music. Without music, no matter how wonderful the famous scene is, it will be eclipsed.

As for music, the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has definitely achieved the ultimate.

No matter which one of the Five Elements Songs is picked out alone, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece, and there are as many as five such exquisite songs in the animation.

This is music with lyrics.

There are many soundtracks without lyrics and singing, just pure music. There are more than a dozen songs, and each one has a different style.

According to Master Cao, the soundtrack he composed for the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" includes lyrical styles, passionate ones, and ancient charms...

Every style has a place.

Take passionate and passionate soundtracks as an example. This kind of soundtrack is usually used in big war scenes or battle scenes such as the battle between the three heroes and Lu Bu.

The more lyrical soundtrack is used in plots with more emotional scenes such as the entrustment of Baidicheng City and the killing of Ma Su with tears.

Don't underestimate the power of music!

There are always people who think that excellent animation soundtracks are dispensable, the best they can have, and there will be no impact without them.

It would be wrong to think so...

Classic animation works, especially the works of Hexagram, basically attach great importance to the soundtrack. Good music is not optional, but a must-have for masterpieces.

If you don’t believe it, just watch Tom and Jerry.

The reason why the animated "Tom and Jerry" has become a classic and its artistry is recognized by everyone is definitely one of the reasons why the animated "Tom and Jerry" has a classy and melodious soundtrack.

certainly!

No matter how good the soundtrack is, and the animation production relies on the defense, it can't be saved. After all, the soundtrack is the icing on the cake at most, and it can't change fate.

In addition to the soundtrack, the costume and prop design of the animated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are also very eye-catching.

Needless to say about props.

The focus is on clothing. In order to better portray the character's image and beautify it, Koizumi and Ma Kui referred to more than a dozen details such as the character's personality, identity, ethnicity, region and era characteristics when designing clothing for each important character. material.

Good guy!

In this process, there was even a professional fashion designer and an expert on costume research from the Three Kingdoms involved.

Pay attention to...

All I can say is that it’s too particular!

After doing so much preparation work and consulting so much information, Gu Miao's only feeling after watching the designed character costumes was that they felt right, so right.

It’s not just about looking handsome, but there’s a real illusion that the character “comes to life”.

These specially designed costumes, worn on those characters, give people the feeling that this is what XXX should look like, and this is the most restored anime image.

"fine……"

After roughly understanding the recent work progress of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" production team, Gu Miao applauded: "This is the right thing to do. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. This animation will definitely become a classic. I will definitely think of it when mentioning the Three Kingdoms in the future. work."

"No, not really."

Although Ma Kui was very happy to receive the praise and recognition from Mr. Gu, he waved his hands and said: "When it comes to the Three Kingdoms, the old version of the Three Kingdoms TV series is the most recognized by everyone. Our animation will definitely not be able to surpass the old version. From a TV show.”

That's right.

Gu Miao did not refute this statement.

Because the old version of the Three Kingdoms TV series is indeed well-produced and classic. It is still rebroadcast by many TV stations today. Even the "Ghost Animal Video" has the shadow of the old version of the Three Kingdoms TV series. The influence is evident.

The Wanbao version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation may become a classic, or it may be hailed as a masterpiece, but it would be a bit nonsense to say that its influence exceeds the old version of the Three Kingdoms TV series.

This is unrealistic...

Not to mention that the audience of TV series is much wider than that of TV animations. Just talking about the expressiveness of the pictures, that is a level that animation cannot reach.

This is not only reflected in the animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also in the animation of "Journey to the West", which is also a series of four famous works.

Isn’t the CCTV version of Journey to the West animation not classic enough, not exciting enough, not interesting enough, and not influential enough?

But no matter how classic the animated version is, no matter how exciting and beautiful it is, and no matter how influential it is, it cannot be greater than the 1986 version of the "Journey to the West" TV series.

no way!

These two are not on the same level, they are both classics, but my level of classic is higher than yours, and it has more gold content.

This is like the animated version of Journey to the West. He is the richest man in the province. At first glance, he looks very impressive, but when he tells it, it will make countless people look at him. But the TV series version of Journey to the West is the richest man in the country, and he is also the richest man. So can influence and popularity be the same thing?

…

The goal of the animated version of the Three Kingdoms is not to surpass the TV series version of the Three Kingdoms, but to surpass the old animated version of the Three Kingdoms.

This goal is not small.

After all, the old version of the animated Three Kingdoms has a very good reputation among audiences. It is not that difficult to surpass this work.

compare to.

The goal of the animation "Little Warriors" is much smaller. Gu Miao's only hope for this animation is that the ratings and playback volume should not be too high, at least not better than "The Adventures of Little Carp" that was broadcast some time ago. Low.

"What do you mean?"

Lao Zhang couldn't help but complain: "The main character has a strict hierarchy and can't bully others. At least he can bully his apprentices, right?"

"Pick the persimmons softly."

"I said that "The Legend" will challenge Bugs Bunny and Bear 2. This goal seems unrealistic at first glance, and no one will believe it!" Gu Miao laughed.

A person must be down-to-earth and avoid being too ambitious.

Although the original version of "The Magic Soldier" was a masterpiece that became popular all over the country and influenced the childhood of countless people, this only means that the animation is very popular, but it does not mean that it is invincible.

From Gu Miao's point of view, "The Legend of the Magic Soldier" can at best reach the level of "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".

It can't be any higher.

Therefore, Gu Miao actually takes a very light view of the animation's premiere performance. As long as it is higher than "The Adventures of Little Carp", even if it is just a little higher, he will feel satisfied.

But then again...

Others don't know the goal that Gu Miao has set for herself.

In the eyes of outsiders, the animation "Little Soldier" is another masterpiece by Gu Sanshui after "Super Cool Cat" and "Hell Girl", and its results will definitely be explosive.

Maybe it will be the next "Bear Bears" or "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"?

As for the level of "The Adventures of Little Carp", I'm sorry! Everyone has never thought about this possibility. After all, Little Carp is an animation made by Gu Sanshui's apprentice. How can a master be on the same level as his apprentice?

It's not just casual fans who think so.

Even the people in charge of the film purchasing departments of those TV stations occasionally think this way and have high expectations for the performance of the animated "Soldiers".

This also brought great trouble and annoyance to Gu Miao, because he found that as his godhood became more and more stable, fans became more and more demanding about new works...
