My Animation Era

Some people may think that the plans or scripts of those classic film and television animation works must be very stunning and eye-catching.

How amazing is it?

When everyone saw it, they immediately took a breath of cold air and called it a masterpiece. All kinds of praises and praises were heard.

But this is a misunderstanding.

In fact, unless the core of the story is clear at a glance and the creativity is astonishing and imaginative, such as "Doraemon", you won't be able to tell much from the normal animation plan alone.

For example, "Tom and Jerry".

Is this animation classic enough to be famous? But if we just look at the planning, what can we see? A cat and mouse game of chase?

to be honest……

Planning scripts sometimes really cannot reflect the excellence of an animation. If you really want to judge the quality of an animation work, you have to look at the storyboard.

The same is true for "Yangcun Guardian".

Although Gu Miao had tried very hard to tell everyone the general outline of the story, everyone was still confused.

no way!

Since the words are pale and the text is empty, let’s go straight to the line drawings! Combined with the actual sketches, I will tell you again about this magical story of protecting Yangcun.

"This is the spear of protection..."

"This is the bow of perseverance, this is the shovel in the stone, this is the belt of the brave..."

Magical weapons, super chips, the gray wolf that turns into a puppy, the darkened version of Pleasant Goat, a brand new setting system, and a large number of magical props, dazzled everyone.

"So this season, are we focusing on future technology?" someone asked curiously.

"Yes, future technology!"

Gu Miao nodded: "After so many years of development, the simple confrontation between wolves and sheep can no longer interest the audience. The intensity of the confrontation must be upgraded."

What era has this been...

We can't let the sheep and wolves fight and stay in the "hide-and-seek" stage where the big gray wolf is chasing behind and the lambs are running away, right?

That's definitely not possible!

In the new era, the confrontation between sheep and wolves requires the use of new weapons and equipment to make the fighting and confrontation more intense and tense, so as to arouse the curiosity and enthusiasm of the audience.

besides.

The scene also needs to be upgraded!

I don’t know if everyone is tired of seeing the same old green grassland, but Gu Miao is tired of it anyway.

In the animation "Yangcun Guardian", he also wanted to make a major upgrade to the animation scenes and design a few more interesting scenes to avoid the embarrassing situation where the story always takes place in the Qingqing Grassland.

certainly.

Compared to the change in the overall painting style, these things are trivial!

The main factor that really gives "Yangcun Guardian" a new look, and even gives people the illusion of not being like Pleasant Goat, is the childlike and fresh style of the Q version for young children.

Pleasant Goat changes a lot.

Every character in it has been reshaped in the work "Guardian of Yangcun".

Although the audience can still recognize who is who at a glance, the appearance of the young style of painting still widens the status gap from the previous seasons of animation.

This is a good thing!

Because the style of painting has changed so much iteratively, it is completely different from the previous Pleasant Goat, which means that Pleasant Goat can throw away its heavy burden and start over to accompany a new batch of children.

…

“If you don’t break, you won’t stand.”

After the planning seminar, Gu Miao said to Huang Kun who came to have tea: "The new Pleasant Goat will definitely impress you."

"I guess so!"

Huang Kun has high expectations for "Guardian of Yangcun". After all, it is a new Pleasant Goat TV animation directed by Mr. Gu after many years.

He still recognized Mr. Gu's ability. After all, for so many years, whenever Mr. Gu personally took action, there was no case of failure.

But expectations are expectations, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is an old IP after all.

With such an old animation IP, Huang Kun wouldn't be excited even if something new happens. After all, after being in the animation industry for so many years, what part of the world has he not seen?

More than this, he wanted to know what kind of work Mr. Gu would arrange for him after the "Bear Bears" series got on track?

Bears movie?

Due to the popularity of the two TV specials "Chinese New Year" and "New Year's Goods", the news of a big bear-infested movie has also spread. If nothing else goes wrong, Huang Kun's next work will be around the Infested Bear movie.

Of course, this is not absolute.

The specific situation depends on General Manager Gu's arrangements. If he has a better candidate to direct a major movie, Huang Kun can also work on other animation projects.

"The first big movie about Bears, I want Du Hao to try it."

Gu Miao didn't hide it. After learning Huang Kun's intention, she decisively stated her arrangement: "The first movie is more critical. Du Hao has experience in "The Lion King", so it is safer to use him."

"Well, I'm fine with that."

Huang Kun agreed with Mr. Gu's idea. The first big movie about Bears is indeed very important and cannot be missed. It is indeed better to use Du Hao.

After all, he himself has no successful experience in directing an animated film independently, so the risk of rashly producing the first major movie of "Bear Bears" is still very high.

It’s just that the big movie is gone, what should he do?

"Don't worry!"

"As for your next work arrangement, I have two options here. It depends on which one you prefer."

Gu Miao pondered for a moment and then said: "You also know the first choice, that is, many old animations will have sequels this year. You can choose the ones you like among these works."

"As for the second option, you should still remember that the predecessor of our Wanbao Animation was the time when Wolfsburg Studio was established, right?"

"of course I remember."

Huang Kun said with a look of reminiscence on his face: "Unknowingly, this year is already the seventh year. Time flies so fast!"

"yes……"

Gu Miao was also very emotional. After all, how many seven years can there be in a person's life?

Seven years is neither long nor short, at least for a start-up company, it is already a long time.

"Between lovers or couples, there is a saying called the seven-year itch. And as an animation company, seven years is not a short period of time."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "In the past seven years, we have produced dozens of high-quality animations, each of which has achieved impressive results."

"yes!"

Looking back on the past seven years, even Huang Kun has to admit that Wanbao has indeed reached a height that others may not reach in decades.

But, what does this have to do with his next work schedule?

Could it be that Mr. Gu also suffered from the seven-year itch and thought he was too annoying, so he planned to kick him and find a new love?

I'm afraid this is not good, Mr. Gu!

After all, we are also great heroes who have shed blood and tears for Wanbao and made great contributions. If we don’t get rewards and rewards, why should we kill the donkey?
