My Animation Era

In Jiangchuan in May, the temperature has risen a lot compared to April, and it gradually feels hot.

It's fine if the sun doesn't shine.

Once the sun comes out, especially at noon, the office must turn on the air conditioner for cooling.

"What do you think of Fat Hu's suggestion?" Gu Miao crossed her legs and asked, leaning on the large leather seat.

"good!"

"Although it's a bit bold, I have to say that this idea is really interesting."

Ma Kui came to Gu Miao, originally wanting to share the joy of the success of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation in the neon market. Unexpectedly, he heard Brother Fat Tiger's whimsical ideas as soon as he came.

Brother Fat Tiger has left now.

There was no need to hide his own opinions, Ma Kui simply said bluntly: "The reason why online articles like the Son-in-law Fairy King have become popular is mainly because of the strong emotional contrast."

What emotional foil?

Of course it's a show-off and slap-in-the-face routine!

The protagonist develops in a low profile, but is looked down upon by the people around him. Only when he can't bear it anymore does he burst out with amazing strength and slap countless people in the face.

In this process of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and pretending to be a slap in the face, as long as readers can immerse themselves in the story and enter the perspective of the protagonist, they will gain unprecedented pleasure and refreshment.

This is also the origin of the word "Shuangwen".

If it’s fun and enjoyable to read, then it’s called a cool article! If it lacks a sense of pleasure, is it worthy of being called fast food?

Fat Hu's suggestion, to put it bluntly, is to follow this cool point and give special plot treatment to the animation "Three Years of My Son-in-law, I'm the Immortal King and I Stop Pretending" that is being produced.

The so-called special plot treatment is actually quite funny.

Chen Hu pointed out that the biggest advantage of online novels compared to animations is that "serialization is slow enough". Usually, an online novel needs half a month or more to prepare for an emotional release point.

The feeling of grievance and anger that had accumulated for half a month or even longer was all released the moment the protagonist pretended to be slapped in the face...

This is something animation can’t do.

How many times does the author of other online articles update in a day? Your animation can only update one episode a day, or even one episode a week, but the plot rhythm is incomparable!

Therefore, after similar web articles are adapted into animations, the same problem generally exists: the emotions are not conveyed well!

To put it simply, when the male protagonists of other online novels pretend to be slapped in the face, they all have "skills to move forward". They need to be prepared to feel aggrieved before starting to slap the face when the emotions are in place.

Reflected in the animation, an animation episode lasts only ten to twenty minutes. How can the emotional contrast be as high as that of online novels during the serialization period?

In the first two minutes, the protagonist is looked down upon, and in the next two minutes, the protagonist breaks out and gets slapped in the face... everything happens in just a few minutes of the animation plot.

In these few minutes, even if I don’t say much in an online novel, I would have to write dozens of chapters, right? Based on two chapters a day, that’s half a month to start!

So Chen Hu came up with a sexy idea.

The first is the serialization method of the animation. It must be broadcast weekly, that is, one episode is updated every week.

Secondly!

The main length of each animated episode is lengthened, and the emotions are emphasized as much as possible in terms of drama and foreshadowing, so that one episode can be about 40 minutes.

The last step is the most suffocating step of Chen Hu's idea, which is to learn the operation of the broken dog, and announce the end of the episode at the moment when the protagonist is about to show off and slap him in the face.

I have to say, it’s too doggy.

Ma Kui felt that if he were an ordinary viewer, after enduring 40 minutes of frustration and depression, and finally seeing the protagonist about to explode and slap him in the face, the animation would end with a click, and his mentality would really break down.

This is nothing.

When you scolded the director for being out of context, rolled your eyes with dissatisfaction, and was about to click on the next episode to watch, you found out that the next episode...will be updated in seven days? !

OK OK!

The director's grandson took all the bamboo shoots on the mountain. You like to play like this, don't you? Then don't blame the family members for spitting out fragrance.

"It's a little damaged, but the effect is real!"

Gu Miao smiled happily and said: "Anyway, he himself is not afraid of being scolded, so just do as he says. After the broadcast, the reputation will be very good."

"That's hard to say..."

Ma Kui thought for a while, if this was really the case, the feedback from the audience would be explosive!

Are you counting on word of mouth?

If the audience doesn't scold Fat Tiger, then it means the quality needs to be lowered. As for giving good reviews for the animation, please, Mr. Gu, aren’t you still awake?

"Haha, if your grades are really good, even if your reputation is a little worse, it's not unacceptable."

"That's true."

Ma Kui nodded.

There's nothing wrong with this. As long as the broadcast performance is good enough, you get a little scolding, and your reputation is a little bad, to be honest, it's not a big problem.

As long as the audience doesn't curse and suddenly fire AOE map cannons, it will affect the innocent him and other Wanbao colleagues...

As for word of mouth, that's it.

Do you want an animation with explosive reviews and sluggish playback volume? Or do you want an animation with average reviews and explosive views?

For this multiple-choice question, I believe that 99 out of a hundred animators will choose the latter.

After all, grades are everything.

This sounds disgusting, and it has a "score-based" meaning, but I have to admit that everyone is a common person, and this is the reality of life and work.

"That's right, Mr. Gu!"

After talking about Fat Tiger and his son-in-law, the Immortal King, Ma Kui suddenly remembered the business of his visit and said quickly: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has reached the top in Neon, did you know?"

"ah?!"

Gu Miao asked in surprise: "To reach the top? What summit? It can't be the TV platform's ratings, right?"

“It’s really the ratings!”

Ma Kui smiled and said: "You didn't expect it, did you? Three Kingdoms Animation defeated many new local Neon shows and topped the list to become the most watched TV animation program in Neon Local in May."

This...this is a bit outrageous!

An animation imported from abroad was broadcast in Neon, a big animation country, and it actually swept through all the new series and topped the list in May.

Do Neon people really like the Three Kingdoms so much? Don’t you even look at other local animations?

Be reasonable.

Gu Miao doesn't think there's anything wrong with animations like "Digimon" and "Pokémon" getting high ratings on Neon.

But Romance of the Three Kingdoms is different. After all, it is an animation with historical drama elements, and it is foreign history, so it is difficult to resonate with domestic audiences.

did not expect……

The audience at Neon actually liked the Three Kingdoms so much that they even gave Mr. Gu a sense of confusion as to which country’s history the Three Kingdoms was.

Really, if the history books hadn't clearly written about the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, Gu Miao would have begun to doubt whether she was a Chinese after all.

Why is it that he, a Chinese, does not like the culture of the Three Kingdoms as much as a group of foreigners?

broken!

He has become an outsider...

After replacing the motherboard, I couldn't boot into the system, which I didn't expect...
