My Animation Era

That's right!

At first, Gu Miao thought that there was no precedent for the animation of taking pets and then fighting with other trainers.

But he was wrong.

This subject was born several years ago. And there have been many works with excellent achievements, even in China.

"Summoner of Warcraft in Another World"

"Druid Academy"

"I who traveled to the game world turned out to be a beast tamer"

The animations are all good.

Although the settings of these animations are not actually the model of "Pokémon". But I have to admit that the theme of training and using pets for duels has already been created first.

Therefore.

Gu Miaocai was very worried. She felt that the future of "Pokémon" animation was worrisome, and it might be difficult to reach the height of the original animation.

certainly!

With the popularity of the game at the bottom, the animation will definitely become popular, but it is a bit difficult to become popular all over the world.

"Actually, there's no need to worry about that."

As the chief director of the project, Hou Bin said optimistically: "Even if the subject matter is not fresh enough, I still believe that with the cute looks of Pikachu and Yusanjia, the animation can still capture the love of the audience."

Is it cute?

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought for a while, and felt that Hou Bin's words were not unreasonable. Although there are many animations of the same theme, there are not many pets as cute as "Pokémon".

sometimes……

I am not afraid that the subject matter is old, but I am afraid that the characters are not vivid and three-dimensional.

Thinking of this, Gu Miao immediately felt relieved, and smiled with relief: "That's true, maybe I'm thinking too much."

"correct!"

"I came to you today mainly to ask you to borrow some people. Do you have a list of the old people who have participated in the production of the movie "Quiba: One Hundred Thousand Urgencies"?"

"There is a list, it's just..."

Hou Bin nodded first, and then asked, "What do you want this list for?"

"I've said it all, borrow someone!"

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "Didn't I say that this year the company is going to produce an animation film. It happened that there was a shortage of experienced seniors, so I thought of the production team of "Quiba"."

"Huh? So fast!"

"The animation "The Moonlight Is Really Beautiful" has just aired, right? The production of Pleasant Goat movie has started so soon?" Hou Bin asked in surprise.

"No! Not that fast."

Gu Miao shook her head.

How is it possible to start production now? His movie is going to be released during the Spring Festival. Now that the Chinese New Year is over, it is still early for the Spring Festival.

The reason for borrowing.

The main thing is to call the old man from the production team of "Quiba" to discuss with everyone about the finalization of the script plan.

After all, this is Wanbao's first animation movie. I am used to TV animation, but I rushed to make a big movie. Many screenwriters and art designers didn't know how to get started.

So someone needs to point it out.

Although the box office hit the box office of "Quiba: One Hundred Thousand Urgencies", it almost cost me my underpants. But this does not affect the excellent "story system" and "art design" style shown in the movie "Quiba".

As the saying goes...

When three people walk together, there must be my teacher!

It is much better to invite experienced veteran employees who have participated in the production of "Quiba" to discuss the project together than to work behind closed doors.

This was Gu Miao's idea.

After listening to it, Hou Bin thought the proposal was very interesting, so he took the initiative to ask, and he also joined this "planning seminar".

...

"Next year is the Year of the Snake!"

"As the first part of the Zodiac series, it is also a Chinese New Year film for the Year of the Snake. Our theme is snakes!"

Gu Miao wrote the word "snake" with a black marker on the whiteboard, then put her arms around her, looked at the crowd and said, "About snakes, can you think of any interesting allusions or stories?"

"have!"

Ma Kui raised his hand first, and after getting Gu Miao's nod of approval, he couldn't wait to speak: "The farmer and the snake, this story is a classic, right?"

"Not quite right."

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "We are a movie celebrating the year of the snake, and the snake is destined to be the main character. The story between the farmer and the snake is a bit out of date."

In a Chinese New Year movie for the Year of the Snake, if you let the snake be the villain and bite the farmer back, isn’t that purely disgusting?

"Makes sense."

Everyone nodded in unison.

The meaning of what Mr. Gu said is very clear, that is, in the movie plot, the image of "snake" must be "positive", and cannot be a villain or villain.

That rules out many allusions or possibilities.

Snake is a cold-blooded animal, and there are not many people who love it. Regarding its "positive" allusions, everyone scratched their heads and thought for a long time, and they could only come up with "Legend of the White Lady".

Unfortunately, this is not realistic.

Although the legend of the white lady is a folklore, there is no "copyright" related dispute. If Wanbao wants to make a film, there is no problem with taking this as the subject matter.

But this is a big movie of Pleasant Goat!

Pleasant Goat, Big Big Wolf, Bai Suzhen, Fahai... Ugh! This is not a style of painting at all, and it might be too inconsistent to force them together.

But the problem is that there are not many allusions or stories about snakes, and there are even fewer positive images.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

After a few minutes, Xiao Guo, who was temporarily called to make up the numbers, suddenly said, "Is this year the Year of the Dragon?"

"Yes, Year of the Dragon!"

Ma Kui said with a look of disgust: "It makes you think about the Year of the Snake, why do you ask this? Could it be that you want to change the Chinese New Year movie for the Year of the Snake into a Chinese New Year movie for the Year of the Dragon?"

"Why not?"

Xiao Guo said with a smile: "About the allusion about snakes, isn't there a saying about turning a dragon into a dragon?"

A snake turns into a python, a python turns into a dragon, and a dragon turns into a dragon!

This is a folk legend that has been widely circulated since ancient times, about the evolution of snakes into dragons.

And in the zodiac.

After the Year of the Dragon comes the Year of the Snake. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no relationship between the two.

Gu Miao's eyes lit up when she heard it.

"A snake that turns into a dragon?"

"This is a good idea. It not only incorporates myths and legends, but also fits the Chinese New Year theme of the Year of the Dragon and the Year of the Snake."

But here comes the problem...

Snakes turning into dragons have always been myths and legends. The various versions circulated among the people have to be more authentic, but in fact each version is different.

So how should the plot be arranged?

Let's be clear first!

Although "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is a funny animation, funny animations usually have "exaggerated" elements and don't care about logical rationality.

But obviously, no matter how funny or mischievous it is, it must abide by basic logic and not go too far beyond common sense.

And the story of "Snake Transforms into Dragon".

To be reasonable, does this seem too unreal in the green grassland dominated by "technology"?

"Then edit it!"

"Mythical stories can also be interpreted in the form of technology. For example, Big Big Wolf invented a genetic modification device, which accidentally made the snake grow claws and horns..."

Is this reasonable?

For the "omnipotent" Big Big Wolf, this invention is very reasonable!

Jiao and dragon are actually not the same kind of creatures, although these two words are often used together...
