My Animation Era

  Chapter 576 Are you sure this is playing ball? (seeking subscription)

   Ma Kui is not unfounded.

  In fact, although there are few domestic sports dramas, there have been several excellent works, most of which are "football" animation works.

  But it's a pity that...

  Even if the plots of these dramas are great and the quality of the sports shows is good, they didn’t get a good response after they were broadcast.

   "Ping Pong Whirlwind"!

   This is Ma Kui's impression of a domestic sports fan that has done a pretty good job. As a result, the results were also tepid, not to mention outstanding.

  The only sports shows that can produce results are mostly the ones that sell dog meat, such as animations like "Sheep and Sheep Games".

  Pure sports themes can be described as the unpopular among the unpopular in the field of Chinese comics, and it is almost impossible to find masterpieces with outstanding performance.

   Based on this premise.

   Ma Kui is not very optimistic. Mr. Gu plans to use "tennis" as the theme to create a domestic sports show.

"exactly…"

   "But I still feel that excellent works will shine regardless of the subject matter. As long as the quality of the work is excellent, unpopular subjects may not be without spring."

  Gu Miao said confidently: "When I first proposed to make "Digimon", didn't you also express disapproval?"

   "That's different..."

   "Nothing is different."

  Gu Miao curled her lips and said: "When Xiao Guo proposed to make a martial arts animation, you also said that martial arts is dead. Facts have proved that you should not speak too early, and you will be slapped in the face in the future."

   Unpopular theme?

   This is nothing at all!

  Whether an animation is good-looking or not, and whether it can attract audiences, is not determined by the subject matter, but by the story and the quality of the completion.

  No matter how good the subject matter is, if it is made into a pile of shit, no one will watch it.

  The subject matter is unpopular and niche, but if done well, it can still attract countless people into the pit, and become their enlightenment work on this subject matter.

   Don't be too short-sighted!

After criticizing Ma Kui's old thinking, Gu Miao immediately said: "Everything has two sides, there are very few tennis-themed animations, as long as we do not do too badly, then we will be the leaders in this field. "

   "Do you understand?"

"understood!"

   Ma Kui raised his hands in surrender and said, "I can't say no to you, anyway, you are the boss, you have the final say."

   "I just want to know, how to write the plot of this story about tennis?"

   "I've been prepared."

  Gu Miao lowered her body and rummaged through the drawer to find a dusty project proposal, handed it to Ma Kui and said, "Look at this!"

  …

  Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.

  The new fall semester of the new year is coming. A freshman named Ryoma has encountered and defeated many second-year and third-year seniors in the tennis team's intramural ranking competition, and has become a regular player in the tennis team.

   And Longma's identity turned out to be the son of tennis legend Long Nantian...

  Young Juggernaut!

  From the Jiangchuan City Competition, to the East China District Competition, and then to the National Competition, Longma and his tennis team partners moved forward all the way, and finally won the National Championship.

   Ma Kui, who held this project proposal carefully for half an hour, asked quite speechlessly under Gu Miao's expectant eyes: "Why Jiang Chuan again? Why is it always Jiang Chuan?"

   "Why are there so many?"

   "Because our Wanbao is in Jiangchuan, so the school the protagonist is in is Jiangchuan."

   Gu Miao said indifferently: "Let's talk about it! The appearance rate of other middle schools is not low! It is also Qiushi Middle School in East China. Didn't it win two consecutive national competitions?"

   "Okay!"

  After Ma Kui was speechless at the beginning, he soon came back to his senses, as if Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School was not the only one that stood out in this project.

  Other schools are equally strong!

   Qiushi Middle School, Meijiang Middle School, Maotanchang Middle School, Hengshui Middle School...

  There are many bright schools!

  Similarly, apart from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School where the protagonist Ryoma is, there are not a few star players from other schools.

  For example, the head of Qiushi Middle School, Xingcun, who is known as the "Son of God", and Zhen Tian, ​​the deputy head.

   There is also the arrogant head of the private Meijiang Middle School, born in a wealthy family, Gu Sen, the heir of the Gu family consortium, etc. These are the "national level" players mentioned in the plan.

certainly!

  This is not the point, the point is how does this draft plan give people a feeling of "semi-finished product"?

   "I really haven't finished writing..."

  Gu Miao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "If there are no accidents later, there should be U17 training camp, which is the chapter of the World Championship."

   "However, in the first season, I think it is enough to reach the national competition. As for the u17 and the world championship, it would be better to save it until the second season..."

   Actually.

   It's a bit too much to play in the national competition. Gu Miao personally thinks that it would be better to end the first season in the East China competition.

no way!

  This is the "Prince of Tennis" animation he copied. Compared with Neon's frequent serialization for a whole year or even two or three years, Guoman obviously does not allow too long serialization.

  Generally speaking, 50 episodes are enough.

  An animation with more than 100 episodes is regarded as a super super super long novel in China! As for the hundreds of episodes of animation, I am afraid that only "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested" can withstand it.

  The overall narrative rhythm of "The Prince of Tennis" is relatively slow, and a relatively critical game may have to be narrated in several episodes of animation.

   How many episodes are played in a game, then the problem comes...

   How many episodes does it take to reach the national competition?

obviously!

   This length of time must be controlled, Gu Miao does not want to take too long. But the narrative rhythm cannot be easily destroyed, so what should we do?

  It can only be cut off halfway, and the story of one stage is cut into several parts, which are divided into several seasons of animation and broadcast.

  Gu Miao's plan is.

  Wanbao version of "The Prince of Tennis" animation, the first season depends on the situation, try to control the episodes of the first season within 100 episodes.

  If you can't do it...

  That's very simple, the national competition can only be held until the second season. As for the U17 training camp and the World Championship, it will be postponed to the third season.

   "OK!"

   Ma Kui has no objection to this arrangement.

  Although it is just a plan, he can also see that the story called "The Prince of Tennis" will be very long, and one season of animation cannot be finished.

   It would be nice to shoot more seasons.

   Compared with how many seasons the animation is divided into, he actually cares more about another issue.

   "President Gu..."

   "Are you sure we won't get sprayed if we do this?"

   Ma Kui's expression was distorted, pointing to the players' skills mentioned in the project plan, especially the "outrageous" skills, he said: "This kind of skills already belongs to the category of fantasy?"

   Nima!

  Although he, Ma Kui, has never seen the world or played tennis, he has received nine years of compulsory education and knows basic common sense.

   What is this all about!

  What kind of field, Feiyan returning to the nest? What is the state of no self?

  Are you sure this is playing tennis? !
