Chapter 1051 Jiang Liuer is just having fun, the real chess master is AlphaGo!

Most domestic animations are 3D.

As the mainstream choice of domestic animation today, animations adapted from web texts are naturally mostly 3D, with few 2D productions.

There must be some...

But this kind of 2D production is more often used in modern backgrounds and funny animations with story themes close to light novels.

Popular themes such as fantasy and fairy tales are 90% produced in 3D.

Why is this so?

On the one hand, 3D production has become a mainstream choice, probably because the strength and main development direction of domestic animation lies in the 3D field, which is what everyone is best at.

On the other hand, the savings of 3D animation are also the main reason why most animation production companies choose 3D.

Take character modeling as an example.

As long as a character is modeled well, the animation can be used for dozens or even hundreds of episodes. This will undoubtedly save a lot of time and energy for a long-form web adaptation project.

and.

These domestic animation companies have basically grasped the preferences and tastes of the audience, know what they want to see, and know what their own strengths are.

Ever since, each and every female character as beautiful as a fairy was born...

"To put it harshly, there are only two main points of animation adapted from online novels. One is the plot of the novel, and the other is to satisfy the audience's fantasy of a two-dimensional wife."

Gu Miao tapped her fingers on the solid wood tabletop with a solemn expression: "If you do these two things well, even if the overall production is a mess, there will still be many viewers paying for it."

"That's right!"

Chen Hu said with considerable approval.

This is indeed a strange image of today’s Internet text-to-animation. The importance of character modeling has been infinitely elevated. The female characters in the original novel are modeled more voluptuously than the last.

Each one has less fabric than the other, giving the impression that this kind of character is not designed to serve the plot, but simply to sell meat and please certain specific groups...

That’s weird!

Son-in-law Fairy King is not a mainstream 3D production, which means that there is no so-called roast chicken character modeling in the animation, and there are not even a few female characters.

Then here comes the problem.

Audiences who like to watch animated adaptations of online articles mostly like the sexy 3D female character modeling. Will they like this kind of 2D drama-oriented adaptation?

"This is also what worries me the most!" Chen Hu rubbed his eyebrows and said with a helpless expression, "The original novel "The Son-in-law Immortal King" only has one female protagonist, not as many as other novels, and the female protagonist's presence is almost

none!"

"..."

Gu Miao also frowned.

This is indeed a big question, after all, novels and animations are different.

In novels, it is enough to show off and slap in the face so that everyone can enjoy it. Whether there is a heroine or not is not important. Readers even wish that the heroine's role would be reduced. It is best to appear once and then be heard from nothing.

But animation cannot do this.

Because nine out of ten viewers who watch animation, especially young male viewers, have the idea of ​​"finding a wife."

Even if you have a small number of female characters in your animation, the number of scenes is still small? So where can everyone find two-dimensional wives?

"never mind!"

"If you have a single female lead, just have a single female lead. No one stipulates that you have to have a harem."

Gu Miao sighed: "As for the problem of the heroine having too few scenes and not having a high sense of presence, we will say that she is loyal to the original work. Fans of the original work will help us defend it."

Maybe this kind of adaptation is not very friendly to casual audiences, but for fans who have read the original novel of The Son-in-law and the Immortal King, it is definitely a great restoration and a great conscience!

what?

This is how the original work was written. You think it’s not good? Do you think so?

…

As time goes by, the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" has become a new social phenomenon.

Take Gu Miao as an example.

Even those friends around me who don’t like to watch movies, or who don’t usually have time to watch movies, have heard about “Wolf Warrior 2” and took the time to watch it.

This is quite a terrifying thing.

After all, these people, to put it bluntly, are the people who don’t watch movies, let alone go into movie theaters.

But this summer, "Wolf Warrior 2" successfully brought this group of people into the cinema and tried to buy movie tickets for the first time in many years. This is indeed an amazing achievement.

Gu Miao didn't know whether others were convinced or not, but he admired her quite a bit.

After all, he can't do this.

Let alone him, there are so many people in Wanbao Animation, and no one can do the same thing.

No wonder the box office is so high!

Even people who don't usually go to the movies were lured into the cinema and asked by name to watch "Wolf Warrior 2". Under this premise, a box office of several billion is simply not normal.

But then again...

Fortunately, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has been released. If it had continued to be shown in theaters, I don't know how the film schedule would have been compressed.

Anyway, as far as Gu Miao knows, the movie theater in Jiangchuan Animation Industrial Park has a schedule of "Wolf Warrior 2" from morning to night. Want to watch other movies? Sorry, there are no screenings!

This cannot be said to be crushing.

Other new films released at the same time completely disappeared under the suppression of "Wolf Warrior 2" before they even had time to meet the audience.

Gu Miao is not only grateful that "The Bear Soldier" was released early and was not affected by AOE damage, but she is also full of expectations for the next box office trend of "Wolf Warrior 2" and wants to know whether this film will eventually break the

Original record.

As of now.

This version of Wolf Warrior 2 may have a box office of more than 5 billion, and there is great hope of exceeding 6 billion. As for 7 billion... it is not impossible!

Just as Gu Miao was cracking melon seeds and observing changes in the box office trends of summer vacation movies, Xiao Ke came.

Xiao Ke, the Go world champion who had just finished participating in the competition and won the top eight, was warmly welcomed by Gu Miao and joined the recently established animation production team of "Go Boy".

It's not just Xiao Ke.

Like him, there is another chess player who received an invitation from Wanbao to provide professional guidance for "Go Youth", Mr. Liu, a professional ninth-dan player.

One old man and one young man respectively represent the past and present of the Go world, and jointly serve as professional consultants for "Go Youth".

The reason for this combination is very simple.

Although Xiao Ke is the world champion and the nominal No. 1 player in the world of Go, he is still at his age. High chess skills do not mean he knows more.

Although Mr. Liu is getting older and his chess skills have declined significantly compared to his peak period, he was born in a Go family and has been playing chess since his great-grandfather's generation. He knows more about Go than Xiao Ke, especially the history.

There is a clear division of labor between the two.

Xiao Ke is the three-dimensional incarnation of Jiang Liu'er. He will provide the animation production team with the most suitable chess records based on Mr. Liu's opinions.

Mr. Liu is responsible for providing some secret and unpopular information about the Go world in the late Ming Dynasty, and also checking the plot to see if there are any omissions or errors.

Is Jiang Liuer a fictional character?

Yes!

Not just Jiang Liuer, most of the famous chess players in the animation "Go Boy" are fictional characters.

However, these characters are not completely original, but refer to some historical celebrities in the Go world.

Jiang Liuer does not exist in history.

But in the late Ming Dynasty, there was indeed a 15-year-old young player with the same surname Jiang in the domestic Go community who was famous locally.

This is what Mr. Liu told Gu Miao.

Gu Miao was very surprised when he learned about it. He thought Jiang Liu'er was just an original character from the animation, but he didn't expect that there was actually a real prototype.

In fact, Mr. Liu was also surprised.

When he saw the project "Go Boy", he thought that Gu Miao was adapting it based on the chess player's experience, but he never expected that Gu Miao didn't know the chess player from the late Ming Dynasty at all.

This time I was embarrassed.

Gu Miao could not tell Mr. Liu the truth, so he could only use the creative idea provided by a screenwriter from Wanbao, not a project written by him, to fool him.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu didn't go into details. He just used this topic to give Gu Miao a brief introduction to the chess player named Jiang who lived in the late Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Ke also joined in.

Although he is young and does not know much about these things, he has also studied many ancient chess records and is not completely ignorant.

While we were chatting, it got dark.

As the host, adhering to the principle of being a guest from afar, Gu Miao ordered a table of Jiangchuan specialties to entertain the two of them.
