What is Hou Bin doing?

Out of curiosity, Gu Miao called Hou Bin and wanted to ask why he hadn't attended this comic exhibition. How is the animation "The Devil Soldiers in the Haw Mountain" progressing?

As a result, the phone dialed and he was stunned.

Hou Bin was no longer in Jiangchuan two days ago. Without notifying anyone, he secretly went to the Northeast alone for on-site visits and materials.

"Are you really good?"

When Gu Miao learned that he was sleeping happily on the kang of a farmhouse in Northeast China, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

He immediately scolded: "If you don't do your animations well, go out for public funds, right? Who gives you the courage?"

"Mr. Gu, don't talk nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Bin quickly defended himself: "I'm not traveling, I'm called field investigation! As the saying goes, there is no right to speak without investigation. I should be fine if I examine the local customs and customs, right?"

The problem is big!

Gu Miao sneered and said, "Then tell me, what are the gains you have done on this trip?"

“There are quite a lot of gains.”

"First of all, in terms of terrain, I took a lot of real-life photos and sent them to the 3D modeling team, so that they could restore the old rural landscape of the Northeast region as much as possible based on these photos."

Hou Bin patiently explained: "The second is some unknown details, such as the clothing, clothing, housing and transportation of local farmers during the War of Resistance Against Japan."

"Of course, I also visited a very old and now abandoned railway station. I also found some precious local weapons prototype materials through local museums..."

Forehead!

Are you doing serious business?

Realizing that he might wrongly accuse a good person, Gu Miao touched his nose awkwardly and asked, "What about the animation? As the director, you will leave, the animation production team will not stop, right?"

"Things are nothing!"

"The few days after I left, although I was in the Northeast, I would communicate with the production team through the Internet every night, and the animation production was not affected." Hou Bin explained.

That's almost the same...

Gu Miao, who breathed a sigh of relief, learned a rough understanding of the progress of the 3D anti-Japanese animation "The Devil Soldiers of Maoer Mountain" through Hou Bin's description.

Overall, everything went well.

In the 3D modeling part, under Gu Miao's strict requirements, the animation production team was not careless. Each character was reviewed three or four times before it was finalized.

In terms of the script, with the help of his friend, Hou Bin also made more detailed supplements and improvements.

There are eight main characters.@大全\/Shuge·口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口

They are three little anti-Japanese heroes, Hu Zi, Niu Niu and Tiedan who live in a village near Maoer Mountain.

And the garrison teams stationed by the Japanese at the Ouyama Transportation Station, captain Ono, team members Inoguchi, Yagi, Guoshima and Huzunosuke.

The plot revolves around these eight main characters, mainly telling the story of three dolls, Hu Zi, Niu Niu and Tiedan, fighting wits and courage with the station Japanese soldiers.

The total time is about 500-700 minutes.

According to the animation standard of an average 15-minute episode in Chinese comics, this time is not too long, and it is estimated that it can make up about 35-40 episodes.

Take 40 episodes as an example.

Wanbao Animation allocated a total of 12 million yuan to the production team, and the average annual episode is only 300,000 yuan, which is really not high.

Typical low-cost small production.

According to Hou Bin's extremely optimistic statement, it is expected that the animation will be completed and broadcast before November this year.

In addition, Hou Bin also told Gu Miao about a happy event.

After his persuasion, his talented and talented screenwriter friend finally accepted the invitation and was about to join Wanbao Animation.

...

Hou Bin's friend's surname is Zhou.

The name is very interesting, called Zhouzhou. If you don’t know that the second word is “Zhou”, you might think it is called “Zhouzhou” just by listening to the pronunciation!

After he completed the entry procedures, Gu Miao met him and chatted for a while.

This person is very capable!

Through chatting, Gu Miao learned that Zhou Zhou was originally a TV screenwriter, but later he was banned from the TV circle because of a conflict with the director.

, changed careers and became a children's stage drama screenwriter.

The reason for the conflict is actually very simple.

The director wanted to change the show, but he didn't shoot it according to the script. But Zhou Zhou felt that this was not good, and the entire script collapsed after the modification.

Both sides have their own bottom lines, so the result of the quarrel will naturally part in an unhappy way.

Because the director's status in the crew is far higher than that of the screenwriter, and Zhou Zhou stubbornly thought that he did the right thing, he was kicked away very regretfully.

"I've watched that show..."

Gu Miao sighed and said, "I just said that the script was pretty good, why has it been wrong since episode 24? It turns out that there is something behind it. _o_m "

"Mr. Gu, I'm not good at animation screenwriters." Zhou Zhou confessed.

"fine!"

Gu Miao smiled: "Whether it is an animation or a TV series, it is just a different expression method. As long as you tell a good story, I think it's the same."

"But……"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhou still chose to express his concerns: "The main audience of the TV series is adults, and the cartoons are mainly children who watch a lot. I don't have experience in this area!"

"Who told you that the cartoons are all children watching? As long as you tell a good story, I think adults can watch them, and they can even watch them more excitingly than children."

Gu Miao didn't care.

Animation is also divided into several age groups, including both sub-provisional animations that are common to everyone and adult-oriented animations that are mainly for adults.

Experience? What experience do you need?

In Gu Miao's opinion, Zhou Zhou doesn't have to worry about lack of experience at all.

He may not be able to get involved in Zigong Animation, but there is no big problem with adult Animation writing scripts based on normal TV series.

"All right!"

It seemed that he was convinced by Gu Miao, Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "Mr. Gu, I am now working, do I have any work arrangements to do?"

"Yes! Look at this!"

Gu Miao took out the X project project that had been handed over to Hou Bin but was rejected by Hou Bin on the grounds of "cowardly", and handed it to Zhou Zhou and said.

"The task I give you is to compile an animation script based on this plan!"

"Those things happened to that rabbit that year..."

After staring at this project draft and looking at it carefully for a long time, Zhou Zhou suddenly became interested.

"If I guess correctly, this shouldn't be the traditional historical military animation that is shot for children, right?"

"no……"

Gu Miao shook his head: "If it was a animation for the children, I wouldn't leave it to you to write the script."

"This is an animation for the younger generation."

The younger generation?

When Zhou Zhou heard this, his expression seemed thoughtful.

This range is too wide!

According to the current mainstream view, the definition of the younger generation is roughly people under 30 years old.

This group includes both minors under the age of 18 and young people in the range of 18-30.
