Chapter 1106 Three Thousand Questions about the Naughty Blue Cat(1/2)
Chapter 1107 Three Thousand Questions about Blue Cat’s Naughty Questions
Those born in the 2000s have rarely seen the animated work "Blue Cat Naughty Questions", and they may be more familiar with "Blue Cat Dragoons".
Because most of the animations watched by those born in 2000 are works produced in 2005 and after, and animations before 2005 are difficult for them to access.
But for those born in the 1990s, "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions" is definitely a timeless classic.
Gu Miao is born in the 90s. For him, the blue cat is the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" of his childhood, accompanying him through countless days and nights.
He still remembers it to this day.
At that time, as soon as I got home from school, I would eagerly turn on my computer and watch the cartoon series "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions" as if I were eating or sleeping.
How was the earth formed?
Why do stars blink?
How do polar bears live? Why do humans need to sleep...
As the saying goes, every child has a copy of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" when they were young. They will always be curious about the world and have many questions hidden in their hearts.
You can ask your parents or teachers some questions, but parents and teachers are not encyclopedias and cannot know everything.
Moreover, parents and teachers are very busy, so it is impossible to ask them everything.
So at that time, the animation series "Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat" came out and became the best way for Gu Miao to understand the world and answer her doubts.
Don't be afraid of other people laughing at you.
When Gu Miao was a child, it was the first time that she saw so many kinds of dinosaurs, so many kinds of marine life, so many aerospace and sports... Thanks to the "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions" animated series for popularizing science.
If it weren't for this animation, he would have never known at that age that in the distant ancient times, there were so many magical dinosaurs on the earth and so many magical creatures in the ocean.
So from this point of view, the series "Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat" can be regarded as a meritorious one.
The value of popular science is far greater than the value of art!
Perhaps in terms of animation fun, excitement and beauty, Blue Cat's Naughty Questions is really not as good as other animations.
But when it comes to popularizing knowledge and bringing novelty to children, Blue Cat’s Naughty Questions is definitely the winner.
"Isn't this the animated version of One Hundred Thousand Whys? Haven't you all read the book "One Hundred Thousand Whys"?"
Huang Kun's complaints also represent the views of people like Lao Zhang and Hou Bin.
In their opinion, the animation project "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions" is exactly the animated version of "One Hundred Thousand Whys".
With such a preachy tone, will anyone really watch it?
"You have to know that text and video carry different amounts of information, although the audience is the same."
Gu Miao explained: "How many children can really read through the thick and heavy books? And the boring text descriptions, how can the pictures be intuitive and interesting?"
The book series "One Hundred Thousand Whys" is very famous, so famous that people all over the country know about this series of books.
But the fact that this series of books is famous does not mean that everyone will buy it and read it, and even if they buy it and read it, they may not find it interesting and they will remember it after reading it.
On the other hand, the "Three Thousand Questions of the Naughty Blue Cat" series, because it is an animated work, and uses an entertaining and educational storytelling format, the effect of popularizing science knowledge is far better than reading a book.
At least the viewers who watched it will remember it in a short time.
Maybe over time, this knowledge will still be forgotten, but it is still much better than other carriers.
"That's true..."
Lao Zhang said thoughtfully: "Messages conveyed through video and audio are indeed easier to accept than text, especially for children with immature minds."
"But for a simple science animation, there is no need to mobilize so many people, right?"
Huang Kun was a little puzzled: "Similar popular science animations have been made by people all the time! How is "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions" different from these popular science animations?"
"Other popular science animations are about popularizing science knowledge first, and then they are an animation."
Gu Miao said with a smile: "The Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions is first of all an animation with ups and downs in the plot and interesting characters, and secondly it has the function of popularizing science knowledge."
Tell stories first, then popularize science!
Or simply integrate popular science knowledge points into the plot directly, instead of just copying them mechanically for the sake of popular science.
It’s not like Gu Miao has never seen popular science animations in the industry.
can only say……
Those popular science animations only achieve "popular science", but ignore the attraction and interest that animations should have.
for example.
A certain local TV station once produced a popular science animation to teach children to develop good living habits.
What is the main plot?
My mother made Coca-Cola chicken wings, and the children grabbed them with their hands while eating, and were clapped by their mothers, with a look of grievance and confusion on their faces.
Mom: "Baby! You can't use your hands directly. It's very unhygienic. You should do it like mom..."
Then the baby learned to use serving chopsticks to pick up food, and his mouth was full of oil when he ate under his mother's happy smile. This episode of animation ended here.
This is a proper popular science animation.
But is the science popularization effect very good?
Each episode of this thing lasts 3-5 minutes. It is said that the original plan was to have 100 episodes, aiming to teach children to develop 100 good habits.
The results of it?
It only aired about 20 episodes and ended in a hurry because the children were not interested at all. They just thought it was "commercial time" and directly changed the channel to watch other children's cartoon programs.
To put it a bit harshly.
This thing is not even as creative as some "toy commercials". Children would rather watch the commercial than watch this popular science animation.
"Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat" is not this kind of popular science animation. If it were, the original work would not have achieved such brilliant achievements.
First of all, it must be interesting. In the interesting animated plot, popular science knowledge points are presented in a reasonable and reasonable manner, so that children can accept and recognize it.
How can anyone preach when they first come up?
In the final analysis, popular science animation is also animation. Since it is animation, we must consider the audience's feelings and cannot simply read from the script.
"Okay, I generally understand."
Huang Kun nodded.
Animation first, science popularization second! After figuring out the secrets, he could suddenly understand why Mr. Gu was engaging in such a big battle.
Putting aside the nature of popular science, based on the standard of looking at normal animation projects, this is an "epic" animation with 3,000 episodes!
What?
Mr. Gu didn’t say the length of the plan. How did he know it would be 3,000 episodes?
No need to guess?
The name of the animation is "Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat". If these three thousand questions are one question per episode, it must be the basis for episode 3,000.
Maybe even more!
Oh my god! This is even more exaggerated than the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series.
…
Regarding Huang Kun's speculation, Gu Miao was speechless.
The entire series of "Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat" adds up to several thousand episodes, but it is not a single work.
This is a series, a series!
If you want to put it this way, then there is also something to be said for "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". They are also thousands of episodes in length, which sounds equally exaggerated.
But the thousands of episodes of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf are also a collection of series.
Broken down into a single work, apart from the special first season, there are only about a hundred episodes.
The same goes for "Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat"!
Broken down into individual works, the number of episodes is actually not that exaggerated. There are only a few hundred episodes in each season.
"How many...hundreds of episodes?"
Lao Zhang widened his eyes and said, "Isn't that too much? Except for the first season of Pleasant Goat, we haven't done any animation with more than 200 episodes, right?"
"Don't be embarrassed, "Detective Conan" has already broken through this limit. It was just divided into several seasons for the sake of appearance."
"Indeed, I almost forgot about Conan."
Lao Zhang suddenly woke up. In addition to the first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the number of episodes of "Detective Conan" is also exaggerated.
Because Mr. Qingshan repeatedly encountered the air force when fishing, he learned from the experience and diligently updated the comic for a long time.
Thanks to the progress of the original comics and some original series, the total number of episodes of the TV version of "Detective Conan" is now almost 500.
But this nature is different.
Although "Detective Conan" is always being serialized, updates will occasionally be interrupted.
