My Animation Era

A large part of the reason why Xiaoxin can attract a large number of fans, or the animation can have such a great influence, is due to the character's "anti-routine".

What is a routine?

No matter what the theme of the animation is, whenever characters of Xiaoxin's age appear, they are generally sensible, well-behaved, smart and clever, and they feel like other people's children.

But at this time, when a little guy like Xiaoxin suddenly appears, who does not follow common sense, always "makes surprising remarks" and has wild ideas, everyone will naturally like him very much.

Because this is what’s right!

Although Xiaoxin's performance is a bit premature, I have to admit that this is the impression everyone should have of the "naughty kid".

As for the characters in other animations who are sensible and well-behaved, do whatever their parents say, and are never naughty or mischievous...

All I can say is that it’s too “fantasy”!

Maybe there really are those kinds of children from "other people's families" in reality, but they are only a minority after all, and such children have suppressed nature, which to be honest is not a good thing.

It is Xiaoxin who unleashes his nature to the fullest, lives an extremely free and happy life, and only sees the "dynamic superman" in his eyes, which can bring back the feeling of childhood for everyone.

Adults learn to be selfish, hypocritical and lie, and live under a mask of disguise all day long.

But Xiaoxin doesn't know this.

If you like it, you just like it, if you hate it, you hate it, without any cover-up or lies, just say what you want, do whatever you want...

This is the childhood innocence that many adults envy and long for, but unfortunately they can never get back.

at the same time.

This is also a very key selling point of the animation "Crayon Shin-chan", which presents the most realistic Shin-chan to the audience.

Behind each of the absurd and hilarious life anecdotes, don't they reflect the helplessness of adults facing real life and the desire to return to their childhood?

"nothing else matters……"

"But in the creation of Xiaoxin's character, we must emphasize the release of nature and anti-traditional and anti-routine thinking!"

Gu Miao warned: "I don't want to see a new guy who has lost his spirituality and is stereotyped and formulaic. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Mr. Qiu nodded.

Even if Gu Miao didn't say anything, he knew what to do.

In fact, when writing the storyboard for the animated "Crayon Shin-chan", they had already discussed many story details around this issue.

For example, two sides.

Usually when setting up an animated character and labeling it, everyone will basically only write "advantages", such as being lively and cheerful, etc.

But this time, Konjac Studio went against the norm and adopted a new approach when labeling the character Xiaoxin.

Write a strength, such as kindness! OK! Then you have to write down another shortcoming, such as gluttony?

One advantage and one disadvantage!

Just like day and night, Xiaoxin has many advantages and also many shortcomings. This is the duality that constitutes the character.

It can't just have advantages or disadvantages. Advantages and disadvantages can coexist. Who says an animated character must be perfect?

That doesn't make sense!

Mr. Qiu had no control over previous animations, or other people's animations. Anyway, in "Crayon Shin-chan", Shin-chan must be a complex combination of contradictions.

He is lively and cheerful, cute and innocent, optimistic and active.

At the same time, he also has shortcomings such as being picky and gluttonous, lustful and forgetful, and speaking without restraint.

only……

Although Mr. Qiu thought so and did so, there was always a worry in his heart.

That's how Xiaoxin is created. Although it is interesting and real, will it attract criticism from parents and teachers? Will he be accused of "teaching bad children"?

"You don't have to be afraid!"

"If you're afraid of this and that, why do you do animations? Just go home and plant sweet potatoes!" Gu Miao said with a straight face, "Just make the animations and I'll take care of the rest."

It doesn't matter, he will take action!

It's just criticism from parents and teachers. As long as it's not an iron fist, there's nothing to worry about.

Moreover……

There's someone above him!

With his friendship with Director Wang and the relationship they have had for so many years, as long as the animation does not make any principled mistakes, it will not be ruined.

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

After receiving Mr. Gu's assurance, Mr. Qiu was visibly relieved and had a smile on his face.

"Let's not talk about this first..."

Gu Miao waved her hand, as if she suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked: "There is a question I want to know the answer to. That is Xiaoxin's name. Is it just Xiaoxin?"

"no!"

"His surname is Ye, and his father's name is Ye Guangzhi. His full name is Ye Xin, and his nickname is Xiaoxin." Mr. Qiu shook his head to deny his guess.

Is the surname Ye OK?

When Gu Miao thought of the rumors circulating on the Internet about the four major families of Xiao, Ye, Lin, and Chu, as well as classic figures such as Ye Liangchen, Ye Hei, and Ye Aotian, Gu Miao immediately stopped in Bengbu.

Qiu always comes up with names.

It's great to have a surname of "Man", and it can be linked with the legendary boss of a certain military exercise, but if it turns out that the surname is Ye, it won't work.

But that's not important.

Although the surnames Xiao and Ye always make people think about it, considering that most of the plot is called by the nickname "Xiao Xin", it doesn't matter.

The original Shin-chan was called Nohara Shinnosuke! How many viewers can call you by your full name? Aren’t they all Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin’s shouts?

"correct!"

"In the anime, doesn't Xiaoxin love watching TV?"

After Gu Miao pondered for a moment, he suddenly said, "When you make it, you must reflect Xiaoxin's love for cartoons, especially works such as Jelly Superman and Moon Warrior."

"Jelly Superman?!"

Mr. Qiu said dumbly: "What is this? Is there an animation called Jelly Superman?"

"Harm! This is just a shell of "Fruit Treasure Attack"."

"Then Moon Warrior won't be Sailor Moon, right?"

"That's right!"

Gu Miao snapped her fingers and said, "When the time comes, you can just take screenshots from "Fruit Attack" and "Sailor Moon"."

Implant Wanbao elements!

This is what Gu Miao wants Mr. Qiu to do. Anyway, Xiaoxin loves to watch TV, so why not let him watch Wanbao animation?

The fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields.

Everyone is watching anyway, so why not take advantage of your own people and take this opportunity to make a soft advertisement to promote your own animation works.

What?

Dynamic Superman and dynamic light waves?

You can keep this thing, anyway, no one stipulates that Xiaoxin only watches one channel when watching TV, right?

Just be an easter egg.

The original dynamic Superman is nothing more than the shell vest of "Kamen Rider".

anyway……

Regarding Dynamic Superman, Gu Miao had a question that she had been holding back for a long time.

That is, if the prototype of Dynamic Superman is Kamen Rider, then why is his unique move the "dynamic light wave" that is very characteristic of Ultraman?

Stitch monster, right?

Happy Lantern Festival to everyone! By the way, black sesame stuffed glutinous rice balls YYDS!
