My Animation Era

  Chapter 497 Ping-pong-pong competes with the enemy, pots and pans lose their direction... (subscription required)

   "President Gu, I misunderstood!"

   "This reporter is taking things out of context. How dare I disrespect you? What I mean is that I can't compare with you. I'm still far behind."

  Huang Kun, who almost stepped into the office with his left foot first and was fired when he first arrived at the company, explained aggrievedly when faced with Gu Miao's questioning.

   "The reason why I accepted the interview was also because I wanted to create momentum for "Guobao Special Attack". I didn't know that this reporter has no professional ethics, and he just digs holes for me..."

   "All right, all right!"

  Gu Miao waved her hand, indicating to Huang Kun that there is no need to talk: "I'm not mistaken, let's not talk about it, what's the matter with Guobao's special attack? It's going to be broadcast so soon?"

   "Quick?"

   "I think it's okay! It's already September, if you don't find a chance to broadcast it, will it crash with you at the end of the year?" Huang Kun said speechlessly.

no kidding!

  With Huang Kun's courage, he didn't dare to collide with Mr. Gu's new work. Isn't that when an egg hits a rock, or a toy car hits a dump truck, it shatters at the first touch!

  As a veteran animation director of Wanbao, Huang Kun has followed Gu Miao for so long, and knows the power of Gu Miao's new work better than anyone else.

   In order to maximize the ratings.

   Avoiding invincible opponents and preparing for the broadcast of the animation "Guobao Special Attack" in advance, this is Huang Kun's plan.

   What's more, this is not fast.

   "Guobao Special Attack" project was established very early, and preparations began in the first half of the year. Coupled with the fact that Wanbao Animation has a strong army, it is normal to consider broadcasting it now.

  This involves a "production strength" issue.

  If it is another small workshop, the production of the animation "Guobao Special Attack" by a small team may be delayed for as long as a year. After all, with limited financial resources and insufficient manpower, the production progress must be unsatisfactory.

  What is the scale of Wanbao Animation?

  The same animation project may take at least eight months in other companies, but in a company of Wanbao's scale, it may take at most four months, no more.

Do not ask!

  Ask means more money and more brothers.

   Based on this premise, the first season of the 52-episode animation "Guobao Special Attack" took only four and a half months under the direction of Huang Kun.

   "Actually, it can be faster!"

   "The main reason is that the post-production is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If we optimize the process, I think three months will be enough." Huang Kun said regretfully.

   "There is no need to pursue speed."

  Gu Miao shook her head and disagreed with Huang Kun's opinion: "Don't follow me. To you, the length of the construction period is not important, the important thing is the quality and quantity of the work."

   It is impossible to imitate him!

  Gu Miao is a disgraceful Wen Chaogong. When making animations, he has the memories of his previous life as a reference, so he basically doesn't take detours.

  So the construction period has been compressed a lot.

  But Huang Kun is different. He has no reference. In order to pursue a shorter construction period, he is very likely to take a detour and make wrong judgments or choices.

  Detours are fatal...

  To give a simple example, Gu Miao knew what the main "selling points" and "attractive points" of that rabbit were before she started making "Things About That Rabbit That Year", but did anyone else know?

   Obviously, they don't know.

  If a different director were to shoot the rabbit, he would very likely take a detour and make the rabbit into the kind of "funny but not moving" Junko animation just by looking at the planning.

  One thought, heaven and hell!

  Gu Miao is special. He hopes that not only Huang Kun, but also directors of Wanbao animation such as Hou Bin and Guo Hongwei will not learn from him.

   It is best to go out of your own way.

   Follow him to learn, it’s okay if you don’t learn something, or you may lose your learning because of it, go astray and never recover.

"I see."

  Hearing Mr. Gu's instructions, Huang Kun nodded solemnly.

   Actually, there is no need to remind him, he also knows very well that he cannot learn from Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu was so easy to imitate, wouldn't Guoman be revitalized and dominate the world sooner?

   "Okay, let's not talk about this."

  Seeing that Huang Kun understood what he meant, Gu Miao immediately waved her hand and said, "Since the animation is finished, it should be broadcast in the next two days, right?"

   "Not so fast..."

   "There is still one problem that has not been resolved! If this problem is not resolved, the animation will not be broadcast." Huang Kun said with a bitter face.

"what is the problem?"

"theme song!"

  …

  The animation "Guobao Special Attack" has been produced and can be broadcast on TV stations at any time.

   But right now there is a problem.

  That is, the animation is about to be broadcast, and the theme song has not yet been officially finalized, let alone recorded and synthesized.

   According to Huang Kun's idea.

  Since "Guobao Special Attack" is considered a "non-mainstream" sequel to "Three Musketeers of Jelly", the two are basically in the same line, so it is good to just use the theme song of the previous work.

   But others find it inappropriate.

  【The fat one is the sun, the bulging ones are the hills, and on the scenic path, there are three idlers. 】

  【One has lofty ambitions to be a pillar, the other is trying to do business, and the other is too lucky...】

  This theme song of the same name called "Three Musketeers of Jelly", with the broadcast of the previous animation, can be regarded as a well-known anime song.

   But also because of this.

   This song is marked with a very conspicuous "Three Musketeers of Fruit Treasure". Anyone who hears this song will immediately think of the Three Musketeers of Jelly.

  The animation production team thinks.

  Although "Guobao Special Attack" was born out of "Three Musketeers of Jelly", the two are obviously not a series, and they should be cut to prevent the audience from being confused.

  Based on this consideration, customizing an anime theme song for the animation "Fruit Attack" became Huang Kun's biggest headache.

   Fortunately, there is Mr. Gu!

  After his narration, Gu Miao, who knew how important this matter was, specially invited Master Cao to restore the highly sung song of the same name in the previous life based on the residual memory.

  【Fat and fat but puffed out his chest, wandering far away, being a wimp is a superficial phenomenon...】

  【Competing against the enemy with ping-pong-pong, the pots and pans lose their direction, brushing teeth, washing face and drinking soda can win the battle. 】

  【It’s my opinion to be a chivalrous hero. You can’t imagine Guobao’s special attack. Hold the sword in your hand and let hope bloom perfectly~~】

  Wuhu! take off!

  After listening to the demo of this song in the recording studio, Gu Miao showed a very satisfied smile.

   It's right!

  When the external singer of Wanbao sang "Ping Ping Ping Pong Pong Contest with the Enemy", childhood memories that had been dusty for a long time came to my heart in an instant.

  Thinking of that summer, the happy time when I stood in front of the TV with my job in my arms and shouted "Guobao mecha fit"...

  This is Guobao Special Attack, this is the theme song, this is childhood memories!

   I dare not say anything else, at least this is the theme song of the anime with the same name called "Guobao Special Attack", which is the same as the theme song of the same name of "Pigman", Gu Miao can hum it with her eyes closed.

   The degree of popularity is simply not too high!

  In the era when "The Lonely Brave" and "Reverse War" were not yet popular, what should I sing "conversational signs" with elementary school students?

pick one of two!

  Either sing "Pigman" or "Guobao Special Attack", anyway, you can always match the code, and make the elementary school students admire you.
