Chapter 4 Scar on the face, home in the heart!
Gu Miao agreed to share the copyright equally.
He doesn't care about broadcast rights or anything like that. As long as he keeps the derivatives in his own hands, he will definitely not lose anything.
As for Gu Miao Company?
Neither Minister Wang nor Gu Miao himself considered their interests at all. After all, they neither contributed money nor hired anyone to produce "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", so why should they share the cake?
He is an employee, not a slave.
In order to prevent the company from intervening to pick peaches, Gu Miao specifically asked Minister Wang to transfer funds to the account of a newly established company called "Wolf Castle".
This is a shell company.
Gu Miao specially found a scalper who was a business agent, and quickly prepared such a shell for him, and put the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" project under the name of this company.
If you don’t do this, there will definitely be disputes over copyright ownership, or even a lawsuit.
Prepare for a rainy day!
Gu Miao didn't want to think too badly about the company, but with the moose example in front of him, he had to be prepared.
The money has arrived!
The project can finally start!
In the name of the company "Wolf Castle Culture", Gu Miao recruited a group of original animators, animators, sound effects artists and script writers, and reluctantly built a team.
Although they are temporary recruits and may have poor working ability, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is not a big production, so it is enough for now.
Generally speaking.
The preliminary preparation work for an animation work starts with proposing a project plan, selecting a topic, writing a planning document, communicating and negotiating with investors or sponsors, assessing the expected benefits and risks of the project, and then discussing the script with the screenwriter to finalize the art style and character scenes.
set up……
The whole process is extremely long.
It could be as fast as two or three months, or as slow as three or four years.
But Gu Miao couldn't wait that long.
A production budget of one million is spent on more than half just recruiting people and purchasing office equipment. Who cares about the process at this time?
The most important thing is to start work quickly!
Therefore, after finalizing the rough script and art design at the meeting, Gu Miao called on several animators and original painters to jointly write the scene-drawing script, which is often called a "storyboard."
"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has officially entered the mid-production stage.
Gu Miao personally designed the character.
After many years, although he had long forgotten all the plots of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", he could still recall the art design and character settings of the main characters.
Just copy the original version and that's it.
Most of the characters are designed according to the original version, but Gu Miao made some slight adjustments to the styling and settings of some characters.
Such as the beautiful sheep!
The original version has a bit of a "bitch-like" feel to it, which really doesn't have a good impact, so I'd better try to be more "kind and innocent".
As for the controversial character setting of Lazy Sheep, Gu Miao did not make any adjustments or modifications because it was unnecessary.
Whether the audience likes it or hates it, isn't it all about popularity?
No one would reject the heat, right?
By the way, there are rumors that the first protagonist of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was originally scheduled to be Lazy Sheep, but it was abandoned due to reasons such as his name and personality.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, at least one thing is certain, that is, the first protagonist, Pleasant Goat, is indeed not very lovable in the eyes of the audience.
Too "great and upright"!
It's a bit unrealistic, but the other lambs are more down-to-earth, have both shortcomings and advantages, and the character image is more full and three-dimensional.
Once there are positive characters, according to the "theory of opposition between good and evil", there must also be negative characters.
The wolf clan headed by Big Big Wolf!
It’s a bit funny to say that in the production process of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" for many years, the villains who have been carefully created...are all whitewashed!
By the final "Wolf-Sheep Cooperation" stage, this animation has abandoned the pure concept of "villain". Not only are all the characters good people, but everyone is as close as a family.
All I can say is, outrageous!
Perhaps this is the fate of this type of animation work. No matter what the early plot is, it will eventually fall into the vicious cycle of "there are no bad guys in this world".
This is true for Pleasant Goats, and it is also true for bears.
Although the starting point is good, after all, it is an animation broadcast for children. It cannot instill harmful ideas and values, otherwise it will be blamed for "harming the flowers of the motherland."
But is this really a good thing?
Gu Miao shook her head and decided not to think about all this.
No matter how the wolf and the sheep cooperate, that is what happens later. In the current story background, even little Huihui has not been born, so Big Big Wolf can only be a complete "bad guy".
A bad guy will be a bad guy!
No matter how many wrong and stupid things Big Big Wolf has done, at least one thing is worthy of recognition: he is a good wolf king who cares about his family and loves his wife.
There are scars on the face, but there is a home in the heart.
As the most charming villain in the show, Big Big Wolf has many shortcomings, but he also has strengths that cannot be concealed.
He is a great inventor!
If Qingqing Prairie also has a Nobel Prize, Big Big Wolf will definitely win for many years. His invention has reached the "animation ceiling" level in a sense.
Iron Man is a der!
Do you have the guts to come to Qingqing Grassland and let you see what top-level IQ is? If you can't rub two-way foils and time machines by hand, are you worthy of being called an inventor?
He is a good husband!
He wore a tattered hat that had been sewn countless times, but gave his wife a gorgeous crown. He would rather go hungry than catch frogs for his wife to eat...
He was panned numerous times.
When everyone felt that his efforts were not worth it, he said the touching words "I love pans".
Who doesn’t like this kind of gray wolf?
Gu Miao doesn't care what others think. Anyway, he likes the character of Big Big Wolf very much, and he has always been his role model.
Besides, there are also many fans of Big Big Wolf.
Most of them only gradually fell in love with this wolf king who can be called a model husband and father after experiencing a lot of beatings from society as adults.
When I was young and ignorant, I admired Pleasant Goat. I just thought he was so smart and powerful. I wish I were Pleasant Goat...
Keren always has to grow up.
As the audience grows older and more experienced, the "protagonist halo" surrounding Pleasant Goat gradually fades, and only then will they understand.
The lyrics "If you want to marry, marry Big Big Wolf, such a man is a role model", it simply sang into my heart.
anyway……
If it weren't for the fact that the style of the song "Marry the Big Big Wolf" is too adult-oriented and not suitable for children, Gu Miao would have decided to make it the theme song of the animation.
Movie theme songs are available.
