My Animation Era

Let's talk about it, let's make trouble again.

After the animation "Whimsical Pleasant Goat" was broadcast, it attracted countless people to complain about the "new style of painting".

The producers, Konjac Animation and Mr. Qiu, have encountered unprecedented pressure from public opinion.

But...

One thing that deserves attention is that the ratings trend of "Pleasant Goat" has been rising after it was broadcast.

This shows what?

Ordinary people may not quite understand why the audience's response is so bad and can be called a torrent of criticism, but the ratings can continue to rise?

But many professionals, including Gu Miao, have actually understood it.

Your mouth is too honest for your body!

He cursed the new style of painting for not having the same taste as before, but he was more fascinated by it than anyone else.

How do you say that?

I advise you not to read it, but I advise you not to advise it.

While saying that Pleasant Goat Season 4 is really rubbish and Wanbao Animation handing over this season to Konjac Animation is really a failure, everyone should not watch it, but at the same time you are watching it with gusto?

"No no no!"

"Actually, that's not the case..."

Gu Miao, who had just finished talking to Mr. Qiu on the phone and was holding her cell phone to choose a crib, couldn't help but say after hearing Hou Bin's analysis: "It is undeniable that many people are scolding and reading at the same time."

"But compared to the first three seasons, the fourth season has indeed lost a lot of old viewers. Some people really can't accept the fact that Pleasant Goat has changed its style."

"The ratings..."

"Listen to me, I know you want to ask, why do old viewers continue to lose, but the ratings can still rise steadily?"

Seeing Hou Bin nodded, Gu Miao quickly explained: "The answer to this question is actually not that complicated. A group of old viewers have left, and a group of new viewers have arrived!"

The addition of new viewers offsets the loss of old viewers. Coupled with the old viewers who have not been lost, the total number of viewers is greater than the original number of viewers.

This is the answer.

The animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has gone through four years. In four years, many children have grown up.

They will also gradually lose, no longer as obsessed with Pleasant Goat as before, and stay in front of the TV, unwilling to miss any episode.

This is a major trend and it is inevitable.

But in the past four years, many newborn babies have grown up. From babbling to school age, they may not have been exposed to the first three seasons of the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animation.

Therefore, the fourth season may be the first work for many children to get into the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animated series.

"I see."

Hou Bin, who roughly understood what Mr. Gu meant, sighed and said, "I would have forgotten that Pleasant Goat was a work four years ago if you didn't tell me."

"yes!"

Gu Miao was also filled with emotion.

Four years is not a short period of time. Many children who have just entered college are now entering society and starting families and starting businesses.

Think of this.

Gu Miao suddenly thought of the twelve zodiac signs, which were the Pleasant Goat and Horse New Year movies that he lost at the end of this year.

Pity!

If it weren't for the fact that his wife would be pregnant and giving birth to a baby in the second half of this year, he wouldn't be able to spare time, and there would be no movies for the Year of the Horse.

I definitely won’t be able to make it in time for the Lunar New Year holiday.

But this year’s summer vacation should be in time. Anyway, it was released in the Year of the Horse, and it just didn’t catch up with the Spring Festival. I believe everyone can understand.

…

As New Year's Eve approaches, Wanbao is very busy.

According to the practice in previous years, Wanbao Group will take a long holiday every Spring Festival. During the holidays, many animation projects in production will be suspended.

Among them is Digimon.

In order not to affect the Spring Festival holiday, Gu Miao specially called everyone for a meeting to determine what everyone should do in the past few days.

simply put.

The production of the anime "Digimon" has just begun, and a lot of work has just begun.

The holiday is a holiday. It is impossible to restart the work that has already been started because of the holiday, right?

So this requires overtime work.

Gu Miao's goal was to at least finalize the original line drawings and art designs of multiple Digimon before the holidays.

After celebrating the New Year in this way, after everyone returns to work, they can skip this step directly and enter into the creation of separate shots.

The appearance of the Digimon is something that Gu Miao and many original animators can't help but think about.

After all, he cheated.

Maybe Gu Miao couldn't shape the tyrannosaurus using plasticine. But using drawing software, he could easily restore the familiar Greymon.

Of course, restoration alone is not enough.

The original Digimon animation is an "old show" from the beginning of the century. According to the current animation production standards, further optimization and fine-tuning is needed.

Do not misunderstand!

Gu Miao does not intend to modify these classic Digimon images, and there is no need to modify them. The main purpose is to upgrade the art design based on existing animation technology.

To put it bluntly.

In the past, the "big-ass" color TVs would have had a video resolution of 720P, maybe 480P. Can you imagine it now?

Most of today's TV platforms have been upgraded to "high definition" channels. TVs have also gone through many rounds of iterative technological upgrades, and the picture quality is definitely much better than before.

Based on this prerequisite.

The Manpower version of "Digimon" must be better than the original version in terms of picture quality, or picture clarity.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a "disaster" if it was broadcast?

Don't think this is easy.

Produced using 16:9 high-definition techniques, the canvas becomes wider. This means that more new frames need to be filled in with the same shot.

for example.

Suppose that in the original "Digimon" animation, there is a scene of Taichi holding Jia's hand and walking side by side.

OK!

The original version may only have Taiyi and Jiaer. After all, the screen is so big, and there is no room for more characters if you want to.

In the Wanbao version, in order to adapt to the widescreen TV, the screen will be filled with new content. Taiyi is also holding Jia'er's hand. Next to Jia'er there may be an Agumon, or Meimei...

Anyway, it’s not just brother and sister.

These are changes that are visible to the naked eye, while others are changes that are difficult to discern with the naked eye. For example, in high-definition resolution, the changes in characters’ faces and eyes, etc.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

While Gu Miao was busy perfecting the art design for the animation "Digimon" and working overtime like crazy two years ago, two more animations joined the "Meat Grinder" battle in January.

However, these two animations are all online animations. It did not log on to the TV platform, but chose to broadcast it on the video website.

One of them is the second season of "The Three Sisters of the Nan Family" produced by Wanbao (Neon) Animation Division.

And the other one is called "Crazy Hero".

The two animations are produced by Wanbao and Jiangcheng Yitian Animation Studio respectively. Although they belong to two different companies, speaking of...

They are all our own people!

Yitian Studio has received investment from Wanbao, and the animation "Crazy Hero" has also been broadcast exclusively on the Wanbao video website. Rounding off, it is one of its own people beating their own people.
