That’s right!

At first, Gu Miao thought that there was no precedent for the animation of subduing a pet and then starting a battle with other trainers.

But he thought wrong.

This subject matter was born several years ago. There have also been many works with excellent results, even in China.

"The Summoner of Warcraft from Another World"

"Druid College"

"I traveled to the game world and became an animal tamer"

These animations are very good.

Although the settings of these animations are not actually in the "Pokémon" mode, I have to admit that someone has already figured out the subject of training and using pets for duels.

Therefore.

Gu Miaocai was very worried, feeling that the future of the "Pokémon" animation was worrying and that it might be difficult to reach the heights of the original animation.

certainly!

With the popularity of the game, the animation will definitely become popular, but it will be a little difficult to become popular all over the world.

"Actually, there is no need to worry about this."

As the project's chief director, Hou Bin said optimistically: "Even if the subject matter is not fresh enough, I still believe that with the cute looks of Pikachu and the Threesome, the animation can still capture the love of the audience."

Is the shape cute?

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it, and felt that what Hou Bin said was reasonable. Although there are many animations with the same theme, there are really few pets as cute as "Pokémon".

sometimes……

I am not afraid that the subject matter is outdated, but I am afraid that the characters are not vivid and three-dimensional enough.

Thinking of this, Gu Miao suddenly felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's right. Maybe I think too much."

"correct!"

"I came to you today mainly to ask you how many people you can borrow. Do you have a list of the old people who participated in the production of the movie "Kuiba: The Great Urgency"?"

"There is a list, but..."

Hou Bin nodded first and then asked: "What do you want this list for?"

"I told you to borrow someone!"

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that this year the company will produce an animated film. There is a shortage of experienced seniors, so I thought of the "Quiba" production team."

"Ah? So fast!"

"The animation "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" has just been aired, right? Has the production of the Pleasant Goat movie started so soon?" Hou Bin said in surprise.

"No! Not that fast."

Gu Miao shook her head.

How could it be possible to start production now? His movie is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival. The Chinese New Year has just passed, and it is still early before the Spring Festival.

The reason for borrowing people.

The main thing is to call the senior people from the production team of "Quiba" and discuss together to finalize the script plan.

After all, this is the first time Wanbao has made an animated film. Being accustomed to TV animation, he hastily made a big movie. Many screenwriters and art designers don't know how to get started.

So I need someone to give me some advice.

Although "Kuiba: The Great Urgency" failed at the box office and almost lost its panties, this did not affect the excellent "story system" and "art design" style shown in the movie "Quiba".

As the saying goes...

When three of us travel together, we must be my teacher!

It is much better to invite experienced employees who have participated in the production of "Quiba" to discuss the project together than to work behind closed doors.

This is what Gu Miao thinks.

After hearing this, Hou Bin felt that the proposal was very interesting, so he took the initiative to request that he also join this "planning seminar".

…

"Next year is the Year of the Snake!"

"As the first part of the Chinese Zodiac series, and also a Lunar New Year movie for the Year of the Snake, our theme is snakes!"

Gu Miao wrote the word "snake" on the whiteboard with a black marker, then folded her hands, looked at the crowd and said, "Can anyone think of any interesting allusions or stories about snakes?"

"have!"

Ma Kui was the first to raise his hand. After Gu Miao nodded in agreement, he couldn't wait to speak: "The story of the farmer and the snake is a classic, right?"

"It's not appropriate."

Gu Miao shook her head and said: "We are celebrating the Year of the Snake in a movie, and snakes are destined to be the protagonist. The story of the farmer and the snake is a bit out of place."

In a movie celebrating the Year of the Snake, if you make the snake the villain and bite the farmer back, isn't that just disgusting?

"That makes sense."

Everyone nodded in unison.

The meaning of Mr. Gu's words is very clear, that is, in the movie plot, the image of "snake" must be "positive" and cannot be regarded as a villain or villain.

That would rule out many allusions or possibilities.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and not many people have always liked them. Regarding its "positive" allusions, everyone scratched their heads and thought for a long time, and they could only come up with the "Legend of the White Snake".

Unfortunately, this is not realistic.

Although the legend of the White Snake is a folk legend, there is no "copyright" related controversy. If Wanbao wants to film it, there is no problem in using this as the subject.

But this is the Pleasant Goat movie!

Pleasant Goat, Big Big Wolf, Bai Suzhen, Fa Hai... Hmm! This is not the same style of painting at all. It would be too inconsistent to force them together.

But the problem is that there are not many allusions or stories about snakes, and there are even fewer positive images.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

After a few minutes, Xiao Guo, who was called in temporarily to make up the numbers, suddenly said: "This is the Year of the Dragon, right?"

"Yes, Year of the Dragon!"

Ma Kui said with a look of disgust: "It makes you think about the Year of the Snake. Why are you asking? Is it possible that you want to change the movie celebrating the Year of the Snake into the movie celebrating the Year of the Dragon?"

"Why not?"

Xiao Guo smiled and said: "As for the allusion of snakes, isn't there a saying about turning a dragon into a dragon?"

The snake turns into a python, the python turns into a dragon, the dragon turns into a dragon!

This is a folk legend that has been widely circulated since ancient times, about the evolution of snakes into dragons.

And in the twelve zodiac signs.

After the Year of the Dragon, there is the Year of the Snake. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no relationship between the two.

Gu Miao's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Snake turns into a dragon?"

"This is a good idea. It not only incorporates myths and legends, but also fits the New Year theme of the Year of the Dragon turning into the Year of the Snake."

But here comes the problem...

The transformation of a snake into a dragon has always been a myth and legend. The various versions circulated among the people have to be taken seriously. In fact, each version is different.

So how should the plot be arranged?

First let’s be clear!

Although "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is a comedy animation, comedy animations usually contain "exaggerated" elements and do not care about logical rationality.

But it's obvious that no matter how funny or nonsensical it is, it must abide by basic logic and not go too far beyond common sense.

And the story of "Snake turns into dragon".

To be honest, does this seem too fantasy in the green grassland where "technology" is the main focus?

"Then adapt it!"

"Mythical stories can also be interpreted in a technological way. For example, Big Big Wolf invented a genetic modification device, which accidentally caused snakes to grow claws and horns..."

Is this reasonable?

For the "omnipotent" Gray Wolf, this invention is very reasonable!

Jiao and dragon are not actually the same kind of creatures, although these two words are often used together...
