Best wishes for animation production

Chapter 549: Do you just want gimmicks and topics or have you seriously considered it (2)

Gu Xue actually knows very well that the audience is making a fuss about the third episode and it is difficult to accept it. That is right.

But sooner or later the audience will calm down, and sooner or later the focus will be on the animation itself. This will happen sooner or later, and this will bring new troubles and questions...

The post Sato Ei showed her now was the prelude to trouble and doubts.

The reason why it is said to be a prelude is because in the third episode, the U-turn of the senior student, an unprecedented incident involving the death of a magical girl, is still unfolding, and a lot of people are still in the stage of shock and venting. If this were the Earth, of course it would not be that exaggerated. It would not be surprising for a magical girl to lose her head ten times. Even the original version of Madoka has been spoiled long ago. The audience opened the barrage and watched it without hesitation, even I would also like to say that I actually don’t feel very good...

This is caused by information asymmetry. It is difficult for later generations to understand the feelings of those who followed Madoka at that time. It should also be difficult for those who followed Madoka in the original version to understand the feelings of viewers in this world chasing Madoka. After all, they still have a person. Xu Yuanxuan warned, there is no such thing here... Gu Xue's appearance as a supervisor is also extremely deceptive.

Therefore, Gu Xue deceived the audience, which was a little more serious than Madoka defrauded the audience in the original version. The most common reaction from the audience was not 'Ah, Gen Urobuchi actually got the knife', but 'Oh shit, Gu Xue actually got the knife'. , they are more angry, which brings trouble and doubt.

this post.

Guessing about the plot of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", Tomoe Asami's U-turn was due to Gu Xue simply wanting to create a gimmick and topic, or was it the result of her careful consideration? 》

You can all tell that the questioner is a little emotional...

Most of the responses below are also emotional.

"I want a topic just for the sake of gimmicks! I won't accept any rebuttal! No matter how much Gu Xue explains, I won't accept it. What's more, she said something like 'it's not her fault that the person died'... Damn it!"

"Based on the number of episodes currently aired, the probability that Gu Xue wants to talk about it is relatively high. The first two episodes are very conventional magical girl-themed healing animations. The popularity of this kind of animation is not ideal when the plot is unfolded. Look at the previous You can tell by the popularity of the two episodes when they were aired. Now that the plot of a sudden death in the third episode has come out, the topic has suddenly risen. This kind of counter-routine is indeed very clever, but I am not optimistic about the subsequent plot development of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" , can it match such a development, is it to continue to kill people? That can keep the heat, but it would be too bad. "

"Gu Xue didn't do it just for the sake of gimmicks and topics... Although hiding two episodes is very bad, and the third episode seems to be just for topicality, I don't think she is like this."

This comment is a rare comment that supports Gu Xue and is not just for the topic, but even this comment is not very confident, and there are a lot of people replying below to refute him.

"Isn't it possible to hide three episodes just for the sake of topic? And even the ED is hidden... This is the most excessive. The first and second episodes were deliberately made like that to maximize the effect of the third episode. Obviously After careful consideration, isn’t this just for the sake of topic? I don’t believe it.”

"Gu Xue is not...Although I really want to agree with you, you have to consider the current situation of YUKI Studio. The previous animations have made this small studio go to heaven, especially the giants, and the giants have no outsiders. The capital is almost the budget borne by YUKI Studio alone, which makes YUKI Studio make a lot of money. This time "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" also did not introduce external capital. In order to maintain such a myth, Gu Xue, Kenzao Pi Feng can also understand, after all, in addition to being a supervisor, she is also the boss of the most well-known studio in the industry."

"Is this the power of capital? Good JK supervision..."

"I can understand Gu Xue, after all, such a big studio needs her to support... But this time it is really a bit unconsidered. For the sake of topic, it is really hard for me to think of a follow-up person who can perform 'people will die if they are killed'" , the magical girl will die even if she loses in the battle." This setting unfolds."

"I agree with what you said above. "People will die when they are killed." This setting, which is ignored by magical girl themes, was forcibly placed in front of the audience by Gu Xue. Of course, this can bring a high degree of topicality, and now it is also It proves that she succeeded, but then what? Is it really necessary to do this? What to do next? Will "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" be closer to ordinary animation? Just treat magical girls as a pure setting to advance the plot , If you want to die, you will die? Then as the first comment said, this is too bad. Gu Xue is just consuming the magical girl theme, using magical girls as a cover, and using the third episode to create topics."

"To a certain extent, she did think about it carefully, but she just thought about how to create a topic...the alienation of people by capital."

"I think it's better not to have too high hopes. As mentioned above, Gu Xue will treat the magical girl as a pure setting to advance the plot, and those who die will die in order to maintain the popularity."

"Let's watch the next plot of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" unfold. I hope it won't be too disappointing. Alas... If capital makes our JK supervisor become a mercenary person, I will really not believe in love in the future. Of course, to a certain extent, this is also another sense in which there is no miracle or magic (wry smile).”

"..."

Gu Xue read the first and second pages of answers in this post before returning the phone to Sato Ei.

Sato Ei took the phone and secretly glanced at Gu Xue with some worry.

Gu Xue glanced at her and said, "Well written."

"Senior, aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry? A large part of the reason for the third episode is just for the topic."

"Eh..." Sato Ei didn't expect Gu Xue to be so honest.

"Hey, animation production can't rely solely on love. When it's time to attract attention, when it's time to make money, you have to make money!"

Gu Xue tapped her head lightly: "Of course, just to gain attention and make money is too utilitarian, but I have no right to interfere with other people's way of life. I'm just talking about myself here. I still hope to be able to work together in these two To reach a balance between the two, well, I also hope that you can reach a balance."

"But……"

"Are you worried about those people who just commented? In fact, it's normal. They have only watched three episodes of the animation. Of course they will think so. Because the information is limited, they will subconsciously judge that magical girls will die. This setting does not have much significance. If necessary, you will think that I just want a gimmick, which is a normal thought. If it were me, from another angle, I would probably think so."

In Gu Xue's previous life, after Madoka came out, many "dark" magical girl works emerged. In fact, a large part of these works are about killing people for the sake of curiosity, just like the comment above said, The setting of magical girls is simply used as a tool to create contrast and attract attention, and then the normal dark flow unfolds, and whoever dies will die. Many magical girl animations are simply incompatible with the miracles and magic that magical girls represent. of.

"Senior, why are you siding with the enemy..." Sato Ei whispered.

"Stop you." Gu Xue hit her on the head again, "I just said it's normal for them to have such thoughts. Whoever agrees with it, they are actually a little emotional. There are some magical girl animation discussions on the market. The topics are all very heavy, and it has not turned into a dark animation, just because the magical girl has the setting of immortality. They feel that Tomoe Mami's death is not necessary, but in my opinion, Tomoe Mami's death Her death is necessary. Part of her death is to add gimmicks and make the animation gain higher popularity and popularity. Yes, but her death is also to make the emotions of everyone who follows up more real. In this way, the protagonist Only then will Madoka understand better what the price of becoming a magical girl is."

"After all... the proposition of this animation is, 'Neither miracle nor magic is free. If you pray for a miracle, you must pay a corresponding price.'"

"Eh……"

Sato Ei looked at Gu Xue, "Senior, did you also pay the price?"

"Huh?" Gu Xue looked at her doubtfully, a little confused.

Sato Ei blinked.

"Go away, this is not a miracle. Even if it is a miracle, I have to pay the price."

Gu Xue understood what she meant and rolled her eyes.

It’s not like you have to pay the price.

Her painting skills were developed bit by bit over time.

She was able to create so many animations of the Earth because she had watched a lot of animations in her previous life, and in order to make herself more competitive, she also studied a lot of animations carefully.

As for the biggest miracle - time travel, she has become like this. Isn't the price high?

Not big?

Why don't you come and try it...

No back pain when standing and talking, no back pain in two senses!

How can it be repaired...
