My Animation Era

Regional-level, low-level tennis players, most of the school's official team members in the anime "Prince of Tennis" are basically at this level.

East China level, barely considered a master.

Players whose strength reaches this level can usually gain a foothold in top schools. Including the group of people in the original Qingxue, they were all at this level in the beginning.

National level, one of the few!

Looking at the entire animation, from the initial regional qualifiers to the final national competition, the total number of national-level masters who appeared can be counted on two hands.

There are only a few people including Tezuka, Sanada, Yukimura, Atobe, Tachibana Kihira, and Shiraishi among others.

As for the subsequent world-class and professional-level, the number is actually more...

This is very strange!

Gu Miao originally thought that based on his many years of experience in reading novels, the later stage of the Internet King should be a national level that is inferior to a dog, a world level that can be seen everywhere, and a professional level that can make a splash.

As a result, the world class has indeed disappeared everywhere, but the national class does not seem to have become inferior to dogs. It is still quite rare and rare.

Why is this?

If I have to say it, it is the generation of "national-level" masters such as Tezuka, Yukimura, Ryoma, and Atobe who have raised everyone's expectations for the national level.

If any master emerges in the future, everyone will consciously compare him with Tezuka, Yukimura and others.

This comparison…

what the hell! Although this guy looks quite powerful, compared with people like Tezuka Yukimura, he is still far behind.

"The golden generation!"

Looking at Long Ma and others who looked very young and green on the TV screen, Gu Miao couldn't help but smile.

Why are there so few at the national level?

Isn't it because of this group of people that they have raised the audience's expectations for the three words "national level"?

Your talent is not as good as Ryoma, and your strength is not as good as Tezuka and others at the same time. Why do you dare to call yourself a "national level" master? There really are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king, right?

So in the later period of the Tennis Championships, the U17 and World Cup were all over, world-class players were all gone, and national-level players were still so rare.

The culprit has been found!

Thinking of this, Gu Miao suddenly felt a little funny. The collapse of the strength system in the original "Prince of Tennis" seems to have started "above the national level".

This also strengthened his attitude, that is, "Prince of Tennis" will stop after reaching the national competition. He really can't do it anymore.

"It's better not to have anything to do with professional tennis when it comes to tennis stories in middle school, because the span is too big."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Huang Kun, who had just returned from a trip, wore a flower hat and said with approval: "Any portrayal of the professional part in the sports series is basically full of loopholes."

This involves a "professional" issue.

Take common ball games as an example. For daily play or amateur competition, the original author may know how to draw and write.

But when it comes to the professional field, there are many blind spots.

You are neither a professional player nor have any professional experience, nor do you have a friend who is a professional player, so is what you make really okay?

"Okay, don't talk about this."

Gu Miao waved her hand and said, "You have been out playing for so long and finally came back, but you didn't bring me a gift?"

"Bring it!"

Huang Kun took out a box of beautifully packaged Pu'er tea and said with great pain: "I spent a lot of money this time to buy good things for you."

OK OK!

Don't forget to bring a gift for Mr. Gu when you go out for fun. Huang Kun is a very capable person!

Satisfiedly putting away the tea leaves, Gu Miao smashed them and said, "I've accepted the favor. Don't spend so much next time. Come back as soon as you come back. What gifts should I buy?"

"Yes yes yes, mine mine!"

He expressed his agreement, but Huang Kun silently rolled his eyes.

He doesn’t understand Mr. Gu yet! She said all kinds of polite words, but if she really didn't bring him a gift, she might not even let him in the company door.

Gifts are just a small problem.

No matter what kind of gift it was, no matter whether it was of high or low value, as long as it was from Huang Kun, Gu Miao was already very happy.

As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates.

Huang Kun went on a trip and brought him a cup of tea. In return, of course Gu Miao had to give him a special gift.

"Super Beast Arms" project!

As a classic 3D animation produced by Blue Arc, many people must have heard of the name of Super Beast Arms.

As for this work, Gu Miao not only mentioned it to Huang Kun before, but also confirmed the core production team with him as the director early on.

Why him?

This reason is easy to explain. As a famous director of Wanbao Animation, Huang Kun has directed and supervised the production of two classic 3D animations, "Pigman" and "Fruit Attack".

Lao Lan Arc is a professional!

Both Pig Man and Fruit Treasure were filmed, but he was not allowed to film "Super Beast Arms" as one of the three blue arc fantasy gods. Gu Miao always felt that Huang Kun's "godhead" was a bit unstable.

This is what collectors are like.

As a client, Huang Kun didn't understand Mr. Gu's strange collecting habit. He got a job just after his vacation, and to be honest, he was a little unhappy.

Can't you take a break?

He just came back! The house has been idle for so long, and the bathroom has not even been cleaned. Has Mr. Gu arranged a new job for him?

It’s so oppressive!

Even though he was full of resentment and felt that he was born to work hard, and he had the illusion that he was being driven by Mr. Gu like a bully, Huang Kun did not refuse this job arrangement.

Of course, he said.

He had to take this project home and take a look at it, study it carefully before deciding whether to shoot it or not. If it's going to be filmed, it's up to him to decide when it should be filmed.

"OK!"

Gu Miao would definitely have no problem with such a small request.

If it were some other animation project, he might be worried that Huang Kun wouldn't like it, or that it wouldn't satisfy him.

But this is "Super Beast Arms"!

…

as expected.

When Huang Kun took the project proposal given by Gu Miao and studied it carefully for a night at home, he rushed to the company early the next morning and said that he had decided on the project.

Do not ask.

I didn't sleep all night!

The excitement and joy in Huang Kun's eyes can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

Just as Gu Miao thought, this is "Super Beast Arms", and it is difficult for anyone to reject such an animation work.

even……

If it weren't for his collecting habit, Gu Miao might have filmed this animation himself if he really wanted Huang Kun to achieve the epic achievement of "collecting all blue arc works".

It can only be said that after seeing an animation project like "Super Beast Arms", Huang Kun could hold it in for the whole night and didn't come knocking on Gu Miao's door in the middle of the night. It was considered very polite.

"Don't worry!"

Gu Miao made a cup of hot tea for Huang Kun, who had not slept all night, handed it to him and asked with a smile: "Have you read the story summary and basic settings? How do you feel? This animation is not what you want?"

"Too good for my taste."

Huang Kun put down his tea cup and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I'm ashamed to say that when I just saw the first half of the plan, I even scolded you..."

What is this?

When Huang Kun turned to the first half of the plan, his expression was speechless.

In his opinion, this is a script written by Mr. Gu himself. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so "conventional"!

The tone of Super Beast Warriors saving seven parallel universes feels like a traditional fantasy adventure story. This kind of template story about a destiny savior can be written by any screenwriter.

It’s not that stories like this are bad.

There has always been a market for "Wang Dao" comics. As a professional animation producer, Huang Kun also knows that although this kind of story is cliché, there is no shortage of audiences.

He just felt disappointed.

The disappointment is that this is a project written and handed over to him by Mr. Gu himself. He has high expectations for Mr. Gu and thinks he is a very talented person.

As a result, this story was written?

Huang Kun, who only saw the first half, was speechless and disappointed. He didn't hold back at that time and severely criticized Mr. Gu for his "lack of progress" at home.

When he was disappointed and felt that "Super Beast Arms" was just like that and not as surprising as "Fruit Strike", he noticed something special.

The thickness of this plan is wrong!

Based on the summary of this story, why is the project plan so thick? Aren’t the protagonists all walking in front of Pluto and about to start the final battle?

It stands to reason that this clichéd story of the destined savior should come to a successful conclusion here, ending with the death of Pluto.

But why is there more later?

Not only is there a plot behind it, but the thickness of the paper is not even less than the parts I have seen before.

Why is this?

It couldn't have been that when Mr. Gu was printing the document, he accidentally pressed a few more times, resulting in an extra pile of duplicate content being printed, right?

But this shouldn’t be the case!

When copying a document, even if you print a few extra pages, then just smash it and throw it in the trash can, why would you hand him the junk documents together?

Huang Kun, who vaguely felt that this was not an easy matter, reached out and opened the second half of the project, namely, the Brave Man with Super Beast Arms is Fearless!

Looking at it, it turned out that he hadn't slept all night.

In the summary of the story, the super beast team fighting against Pluto was thrown into the black hole of Xuanming, where they saw the sealed Snow Emperor and others.

After finally breaking out of the black hole, the two old enemies, Pluto and Snow Emperor, started fighting again. When the two sides were about to die together, the super beast warriors intervened to stop them.

As a result, everyone was sucked into the wormhole and returned to a hundred thousand years ago...

What the Super Beast Warriors saw and heard a hundred thousand years ago, and what they learned, not only shattered the Super Beast Warriors' faith, but also left Huang Kun speechless in shock.

Reversal!

Can the plot be so reversed?

Before finishing the second half of the project, Huang Kun read the first half again and compared it with each other.

This comparison made him confused.

He didn't know who was telling the truth and who was telling lies, and he couldn't tell who was the real villain here?

"I really like it."

After Huang Kun expressed his inner feelings, he said excitedly: "I have only seen such a sudden reversal in movies before. I didn't expect that animation can be done like this, and the effect seems to be pretty good?"

"But if you do it this way, the first half will be a bit unbearable. After all, the plot twists are basically concentrated in the second half, and the first half falls into a cliche."

"really."

Gu Miao nodded in agreement.

The core of the plot of "Super Beast Arms" is actually the second part. The first part only serves as an introduction to pave the way for the reversal in the second part.

This also leads to...

The first half is not exciting enough, and can even be called a bit mediocre. Compared to the second half of God Expansion, I always feel like these are two different animations.

Of course, this is reasonable.

After all, it is better to suppress first and then increase. Such a big reversal must create a sense of gap. Internet novels all know that they first suppress and belittle the protagonist, and then give him a golden finger.

As soon as you come up, you reveal that the protagonist's domineering spirit is in the air every second, and the "reversal" feeling is not as good as the former.

Therefore, no matter how mediocre the first half is, it cannot be deleted...

"I see!"

Huang Kun nodded and said: "Of course I know this, I just think that the first half is too mediocre and will lead to the loss of many viewers."

If the first half fails to retain the audience.

No matter how exciting the plot twist in the second half is, the audience will abandon it, and not many people will watch it?

This is Huang Kun's worry.

It’s not that he feels that the first half has no meaning, he just feels that the early story is too bland and boring, and it may be difficult for the audience to persist until the plot twist in the second half.

"So we have to find a way."

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "There is always a way to keep the audience enthusiastic about watching animations without changing the progression of the plot."

Like, dirty talk?

When it comes to the Chinese comic "Super Beast Arms", in addition to the most classic plot twists, perhaps the most impressive thing for everyone is the "saucy words" of the characters in it.

Especially Hades!

As one of the most popular villains in the history of Chinese comics, Pluto's dirty talk is definitely a classic that cannot be missed in "Super Beast Arms".

Do you think he is a careerist?

Wrong!

Pluto is actually a philosopher! What a villain is best at is not convincing people with force, but convincing them with reason. Didn't you expect that?

It's no wonder that people on the Internet often ridicule the super beast warriors. They can't beat them again and again, and they can't even win. They are simply trash among trash.

What can the Super Beast Warrior do if he encounters a "ready" opponent like Pluto?

This is what cultural crushing looks like!

The deeds of the Super Beast Warrior tell us a truth: before becoming a savior, you must read more and never become illiterate.

Otherwise, if you encounter an opponent like Pluto, you can't beat him again and again, and you can't even say you can win. It would be really embarrassing for the anime protagonist.

When you go out to hang out in the future, never say that you are the protagonist. Our protagonist’s family cannot afford to lose this person...

anyway.

In addition to the role of flirting, there is actually a second way to retain viewers, which is to upgrade the 3D quality.

The original "Super Beast Arms" is an older 3D animation, and the modeling and fighting performance effects can actually be appropriately optimized.

Spend more money.

With more outstanding 3D animation quality, more sophisticated character modeling, and smoother fighting performances, it will not be difficult to retain the audience.

Really don’t do the spicy chicken 3D thing anymore.

As a fan of Super Beasts, when Gu Miao gave Amway Super Beasts to friends in her previous life, the biggest obstacle she encountered was that the 3D effect was too old and eye-catching, and many people frowned upon seeing it.

If the first impression is not good, how can you make it comfortable for others?
