My Animation Era

  Chapter 912 House taste

  Have the courage to jump out of the comfort zone and boldly try new themes. This is Hou Bin's evaluation of himself.

  He has courage...

  But sometimes, nothing can be accomplished with mere solitary courage. When doing something that no one else has done, you need to have extraordinary confidence and unswerving will.

  He's shaken now.

  At first, Gu Miao told him that it was not a big problem to separate the heroine from a light novel adaptation of a different-world harem-themed animation and make it into a youth love comedy animation with a modern urban background.

   Haven’t eaten pork, haven’t you seen a pig running?

   Hou Bin, who has watched so many romantic comedies, feels that so-called romantic comedies are just like that, and they can be done casually.

   But when it came to the actual operation, he and his colleagues were all confused.

  This thing, no experience!

  The characters of the heroines are quite full, but how to develop the story around these heroines? How to create the so-called home flavor?

  Divergence arises from this…

  Some people think that the so-called otaku taste is to satisfy the delusion of the otaku, and seek a fresh anime taste in the ordinary life, so it is necessary to design more "coincidences" in the plot to increase this otaku taste.

  Some people also think that the taste of the house is not static, but will continue to change with the development of the market environment.

  For example, early otaku tastes are actually fantasy and beautiful girls. As long as there are some fantasy elements and beautiful girls, it can be called otaku.

   Now it is different.

  According to the questionnaire survey, more and more senior two-dimensional lovers now prefer to watch animations in a warm and heart-warming daily style.

   "None of this is right!"

  After listening to Hou Bin's narration, Gu Miao shook her head and said, "The so-called house taste cannot be simply a formula. This is actually a game of comparing brainwave symbols."

   Brain waves matched, and I got this symbol, OK! This animation is very homey!

   If the brain waves are not matched, the audience will not be able to get the so-called symbols. No matter how charming the animation is, in the eyes of the audience, it will not taste like a house.

   "On that spring afternoon, I met fate."

  Gu Miao explained patiently: "The meeting between the protagonist and the heroine gave him the idea of ​​making a game about the most beautiful girl."

   "Since we want to make a game, we need to get more people to help. Do you think it's a coincidence? Among the friends the protagonist knows, there is a best-selling author and a big touch in the painting circle at the same time?"

   Circle the motivation and purpose first.

   Then use this motivation to make the characters interact. This way of interaction is naturally a favorite clip.

   As for the plot?

  To be honest, the plot of this kind of animation is generally only one main line + N emergencies, and the structure is relatively simple.

   What is really complicated is about sorting out and promoting the emotional line.

Moreover…

  This animation will only do a dozen episodes to test the waters, to see if the audience can accept this model of character stripping, how many plots can be unfolded in a dozen episodes?

  Hou Bin is pure mediocrity.

"Too!"

  Hearing Mr. Gu's explanation, he smiled and said, "I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me, this animation only has 12 episodes in one season."

  There are only 12 episodes of animation, only half of "Hell Girl", how can the story be told in one go?

   To put it bluntly, this is simply a start, to see if the audience likes it.

  If the audience likes it, then there will be a second season, and the story will really unfold. If the audience doesn't like it, then the project stops here.

  …

  While preparing for the production of the animation "Shen Bing Xiaojiang", Wanbao Animation had a guest.

  Uncle Long!

  He came to Wanbao this time to visit Gu Miao, express condolences to colleagues in the animation production team of "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon", and at the same time fulfill his promise to send the production funds for the second season.

  Gu Miao warmly entertained Uncle Long.

  After learning that Uncle Long's trip was actually to send him money to urge him to hurry up and produce the second season of "The Adventures of Uncle Long", he suddenly smiled.

"no problem!"

  As long as the money is in place, let alone the second season of "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon", he will not hesitate even if it is the second season of "Hai Wa".

   But the promise belongs to the promise.

  At the dinner table, Gu Miao also told Uncle Long that Wanbao has accumulated a lot of new projects, and it may not be able to spare manpower to produce the second season for a while.

   Designation in the second half of the year is no longer possible.

  Wanbao Animation is currently producing, planning and preparing, and the upcoming new work is already full. The production of the second season of "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" will not start until February or March next year at the earliest.

   Uncle Long expressed his understanding of this.

  It will be possible in February and March next year, anyway, it’s only a few months away, such a great animation, it’s worth spending a little more time waiting.

have to say.

  Uncle Long himself really likes the animation "The Adventures of Uncle Long", and is also very satisfied with its performance.

  Using his original words, his main focus abroad is the label of "Kung Fu", which is also the main reason why many people know him.

  But most of the kung fu movies he made were adults. That is to say, there are no children in his fan group portraits.

   But not now.

  As the animation "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" became popular in many countries and regions around the world, Uncle Long's reputation has also increased. Most importantly, he has gained a large number of small fans because of this.

   This is so cool!

  Uncle Long said with a smile that he even received an invitation letter from a foreign children's program some time ago, inviting him to perform a section of Huaguo Kungfu for the children.

  Children's show!

  He can receive invitations from children's TV shows, which shows how popular Uncle Long is with children.

   "That's pretty good..."

  Gu Miao was a little nervous. A kung fu superstar like Uncle Long would be excited because he received an invitation from a children's show?

   I have no experience!

   He doesn't know how many times he has rejected invitations from children's TV shows all over the country. Is he proud?

   Return to the Kung Fu superstar!

  What happened to the Kung Fu superstar? Is it so happy to have a little fan? Gu Miao's fans are all minors, has he ever shown it off to others?

"correct!"

   After silently despising Uncle Long, Gu Miao asked, "Uncle Long, are you interested in dubbing animation?"

  Uncle Long rarely came to Wanbao, and Gu Miao immediately had the idea of ​​asking him to dub the animation of "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang".

   Free labor!

  After passing this village, there would be no such shop. If Uncle Long hadn’t happened to visit, he would have asked a star like Uncle Long to dub the animation, which was not so difficult.

"OK!"

  Uncle Long readily agreed. He happened to be very interested in animation production, so he immediately decided to voice the Lord Ximen in "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang".

  The role is chosen by him.

   Originally, according to Gu Miao's intention, as Uncle Long is such a big name, the guest voice role must have a strong role, and the leader of heaven and earth is definitely the best choice.

  But Uncle Long didn’t want to dub the villain, so let’s forget about it.
