Chapter 369 "Celebrate the Year of the Snake"
Little Guo’s head is getting bigger.
The animation "Legend of the Seven Swords" was produced in full compliance with the "sub-gongxiang" animation standards, and there was only one result:
neither fish nor fowl!
The martial arts flavor is gone, and it's not as funny or nonsensical as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" or "Pig Man". It's no surprise that children will like it.
But if you don't make it according to the sub-supply standards, you will face another problem.
Most of the audiences who like this "martial arts flavor" are older. And children rarely watch martial arts dramas or martial arts animations. Can they understand it?
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
"I think I can understand it."
Gu Miao pondered for a while, and finally gave her own answer: "Don't think of the children as fools. Today's children are already precocious."
"If "Legend of the Seven Swords" really takes the naive route, then I can guarantee that this animation will be completely ruined!"
Young people should not take the naive route.
Any Wanbao animation can take this route, but "Legend of the Seven Swords" cannot.
He couldn't imagine...
If an animation with a theme like "Legend of the Seven Swords" is produced in a childish style, what kind of collapse will it cause?
That must be very eye-catching, right?
The only way to do "Legend of Seven Swords" well is to take the 12+ route. In other words, give up part of the audience "under 10 years old".
no way!
You can't expect a child under 10 years old to understand martial arts and the freedom and ease of "walking the world with a sword", right?
Of course, it doesn't mean giving up completely.
"You can definitely make the fight more exaggerated. This way, children who can't understand the plot can still watch the fight!" Gu Miao suggested.
It’s not necessary to understand the plot!
Just like the animation "Master Chef Xiao Fugui" that everyone often saw when they were children, how many people dare to say that they understand the plot?
Isn't it just for fun? Let's see what little Fugui cooked today and what kind of monster Lafayette did!
sometimes……
If you don't understand the plot or the deep meaning of the animation, it really doesn't have much impact. As long as other aspects are done well enough, there will still be people watching it.
"I understand."
Xiao Guo nodded as if he understood, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, the plot can't be too childish, but the fighting is okay?"
"That's right!"
Gu Miao smiled happily.
This is the solution he gave. Use fighting to attract audiences under 10 years old, and use plot to retain teenagers or adult audiences over 12 years old.
It seems very unreasonable.
But doing so is most suitable for animations like "Legend of the Seven Swords".
Everyone should have seen "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit". I believe everyone understands the fighting part of this animation.
Those seven swords combined...
Be reasonable!
This is not "martial arts" at all!
But it is this fighting part that is not martial arts at all. After the animation was broadcast, it attracted many children who knew nothing about "martial arts".
Because it’s cool enough and exciting enough!
…
After imparting all his understanding of "martial arts animation" to his apprentices, Gu Miao devoted himself to the intense work of the movie "Snake Comes Around".
It’s November!
The animation "Pokémon" is still on the air. Xiaozhi has left the Orange Islands and returned to his hometown of Wanbao Town, only to be defeated by Xiaomao.
In order to become stronger and defeat his old enemy Xiaomao, Xiaozhi decided to challenge the Pokémon League in the Zhonghai region.
A new chapter begins here.
"Pokémon", which has aired more than a hundred episodes, has finally come to its last stop. This can also be regarded as the last stop of the "Unprinted Chapter".
At the same time, "China Sea Alliance" is also the longest and longest episode in the entire anime, and the ending is also disgusting.
Because Xiaozhi, who we had high hopes for, finally fell to the top eight...
All right!
Compared with the fact that Xiaozhi is about to make a historic breakthrough from the "Top 16" to the "Top 8", Gu Miao is more concerned about the production of the theme song of the movie "Snake Comes Around".
Film production is nearing completion.
As expected, at the end of November or early December, the film will be ready for review and waiting to be queued up to receive the award.
At this time, there was a difficult problem before the film director, Gu Miao.
What about the theme song?
As a qualified commercial movie, let’s not worry about whether it sounds good or not. At least it has to have a theme song to make it work, right?
what!
There isn’t even a song, so do you think this is a “silent film”? You won’t be afraid of others laughing if you spread the word!
This money cannot be saved.
After all, it is the company's first movie, and it has a "milestone" significance. If you are reluctant to spend the money, you are really stingy.
But speaking of the theme song.
In Gu Miao's memory, it seems that among all the zodiac movies in "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the "Left Hand, Right Hand" episode in the Year of the Tiger is the best.
As for anything else...
To be honest, it's not that good. Anyway, Gu Miao thinks it's very ordinary. In order to cater to the "New Year" celebration, many songs don't fit well with the plot.
Of course, this is not wrong.
After all, it is a Lunar New Year movie, and it will be released during the Chinese New Year. Festival must be the first element. Only on the basis of festival can we consider whether it is good or not.
"We also have to be a little more festive."
Gu Miao warned: "But on the basis of celebration, it must also be combined with the plot, that is, to highlight the topic."
We can't just be happy anymore.
If this is really the case, then it would be better to just post the picture "I congratulate you on getting rich, I congratulate you on being wonderful".
All I can say is that this life is not easy to handle.
It must not only cater to the festivities of the Chinese New Year, but also combine it with the plot of the movie and not go off track. The music composition is easy to say, but the lyrics are a bit difficult.
the most important is……
Regarding the choice of theme song, Gu Miao only thought about it now. The movie will be released in two months, so the time left for the theme song creation is only one month at most.
The music team that took this order was the company that had previously collaborated on the theme song for "Dragon Fighter".
They are still very powerful.
In just ten days, a song called "Joyful in the Year of the Snake" was released.
coincidentally.
The name of this theme song happened to match the title of the original Pleasant Goat Year of the Snake movie. When Gu Miao first saw the title of the song, she almost thought she had met a fellow "traveler".
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
The name of the song is just a coincidence. Xiao Su, who composed this song, got inspiration from the name "Pleasant Goat" and thus composed the song "Joyful in the Year of the Snake".
"All is ready except for the opportunity!"
The recording of the movie theme song was completed, and the subsequent editing and dubbing work was progressing in an orderly manner. Seeing that the movie was about to be released, Gu Miao suddenly became a little nervous.
It’s 2012 now…
In this parallel world, can "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", which has created countless myths and broken countless records, create miracles again?
The original Pleasant Goat Year of the Snake movie had a box office of 125 million, which is about the same as "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger and Might". What about the Wanbao version?
Chapter completed!
