My Animation Era

"Fruit Treasure Attack" is already considered a burden to Wanbao, but there are many more of the same burden.

Why is it said to be a burden?

Because the value that this IP can create is declining year by year, but its popularity is still good, and the audience has been urging for a sequel.

This is not embarrassing, but fact.

If the follow-up of "Fruit Fruit" can maintain the popularity of the first season, then it will be okay to continue doing it, but the embarrassment is in the follow-up of this series, and the performance is really unsatisfactory.

Even "Pig Man" is not as good as "Pig Man". By changing the style of painting and taking the Q version of fairy tale route, Pig Man is still prosperous even after many years.

On the other hand, Fruit Treasure Special Attack?

The first season was aired in 2009, the second season was released in 2012, the third season was released in 2014, and the fourth season was released in 2017...

It can be seen from the change time of this sequel that the "Fruit Attack" series really has no plans, otherwise Lan Arc would not think of this series after such a long time.

After all, when we were working on the "Pig Man" animation in the early days, there was one sequel a year, and it didn't stop midway.

Speaking of Pig Man...

Gu Miao suddenly remembered that this series seemed to have been silently iterating and upgrading the style since last year's "Bravely Entering the Future City" was broadcast.

After all this time, I wonder if they have achieved anything?

Gu Miao, who happened to have nothing to do, decided to take advantage of her lunch break to go to Dimension Studio to inquire about who was responsible for this work and what step the iterative update progress was at.

Most of Dimension Studio's manpower has been transferred to the production of the special episode "The Bears: Chinese New Year", leaving only four or five people responsible for other projects.

Among them is the "Pig Man" series, which is undergoing iterative upgrades in style.

"Mr. Gu, please take a look..."

Lu Bin, who is in charge of this work, said: "These are the characters we have redesigned based on the classic stories of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales" such as Pig Man, Feifei, Confused Teacher, and Superman."

"Pigman is whiter?"

As soon as Gu Miao saw the image of the new version of GGbond, he immediately noticed that his skin had become whiter and brighter.

Trivia!

Pigman's initial image was not so glamorous. In fact, in the early seasons of the animation, Pigman's face was quite dark, and his pig-like appearance was particularly obvious.

But in this new version of the image, Pigman has changed a lot. His skin is white and rosy, his shirt is clean and tidy, his facial features have become more coordinated, and his expression has become more like a "human".

Sure enough, animations like this with animals as the protagonists cannot escape the fate of being "humanoid" in the end. No matter what it was like before, eventually the demeanor and expression will be closer to humans.

The same goes for Pigman.

The Pig Man in the previous seasons had a very obvious "pig-like" appearance, with a pig head and a pig face, but now the Pig Man looks a bit like the "White Pig Prince".

certainly!

Compared to Pig Man, it is Feifei who really has changed a lot, and the difference between before and after is extremely strong.

Is this the tenth level of beauty?

Gu Miao's mouth twitched. He really couldn't believe that this ridiculously beautiful pig girl in front of him was actually Feifei from the animation?

Plastic surgery is not that exaggerated.

Compared with Feifei's drastic changes, even Superman and Bobby, whose styles have changed, have become less eye-catching.

"This is in response to the opinions of the audience. Everyone generally reflects that Feifei as the heroine is too... too ordinary."

Lu Bin couldn't describe the former Princess Feifei. After all, the former Feifei could only be said to understand everything. She probably had the kind of appearance that only Superman and Pigman could love to death.

This is not possible!

As the heroine of the animation, it is also the wish of many viewers to give her plastic surgery to make her look more beautiful, and it is reasonable to make such changes.

Just understanding is understanding...

As a conservative, Gu Miao still couldn't accept a little blond lolita with a pig nose. Because in his eyes, this Feifei has completely lost her "pig-likeness" and has become a human being.

…

Gu Miao felt very uncomfortable with the new Q-version fairy tale style, and even felt a little awkward. She always felt that something was weird.

But he is a special case.

Others have said that the Q version of the new version of "Pig Man" has a very good fairy tale look. It should be very popular among children after it is made into an animation and broadcasted.

"I guess so……"

As a time traveler, Gu Miao naturally knows the success of the Q version of the fairy tale style of "Pig Man". It is no exaggeration to say that after changing to the Q version of the fairy tale, this work seems to have lived a second life.

That’s why he didn’t stop Dimension Studios from changing characters such as Pigman, Feifei, Superman, and Bobby into Q-version fairy tale characters.

Because it doesn't matter whether he can accept it or not. What's important is that he knows that this style of painting will be a great success when it is made into animation.

This is enough!

If it can be recognized by the target attention group and loved by children, it is a qualified children's animation work. There is no need to be too harsh.

Do you want to make animations according to your own preferences?

That's unrealistic!

Gu Miao also felt that the story of "Little Divine Soldier" was too conservative. She wished she could take on Nangong Wentian's perspective and kill everyone, bring all the beautiful girls into the harem, and then overthrow her mother and aunt, unify the Yulong Kingdom and Yudao Kingdom and make herself king.

This is his subjective wish, but if the animation "The Magic Soldier" really does this, is it still a children's animation?

The director can be a stitch monster.

But if all ideas want to be integrated into animation, they must be carefully weighed. Does it match the animation being produced?

Sewing everything will only harm you!

In fact, to be honest, although "The Magic Soldier" is also a stitched animation, it stitches together quite a lot of classic elements, such as the innocent and innocent girl, the red-haired and unruly young lady...

But stitching is stitching, and every element inside is just right, without making people feel too abrupt or uncoordinated.

I have to say what is so abrupt...

Gu Miao thought about it seriously, and it was probably Wu Yong, the prince of the Liuli Kingdom who appeared in the second half of the original work.

The character template of this young magic soldier is actually the male version of Dongfang Tiexin, but his experiences and encounters are still more complicated than Dongfang Tiexin.

This is not the point, the point is that this guy is a yellow-haired boy!

Really yellow hair!

Perhaps in the era when the original animation "The Magic Soldier" was produced and broadcast, Huang Mao had not yet been given various meanings, and at most it looked relatively fresh.

But every time Gu Miao saw this yellow-haired boy, he gained Wenya's favor as soon as he appeared on the scene, making Ah Xiao jealous, and he was particularly upset.

Simple yellow hair is nothing.

But with a yellow hair on his head, if such a plot appears again, it will be easy for people to think wrongly, and then roll their eyes unconsciously.

If we give him a Will-O-Wisp motorcycle and Wenya says to Wentian, "Brother, you don't know him at all", what will happen to Nangong Wentian?
