my animation era

Chapter 1051 Jiang Liu'er just wants to have fun, and the real chess master must be AlphaGo!

Domestic animation is mostly 3D.

As the mainstream choice of domestic animation nowadays, animations adapted from web texts are naturally mostly 3D, and there are few works made in 2D.

There must be...

But this kind of 2D production is more used in the modern background, and the story theme is close to the funny animation of light novels.

90% of popular themes such as fantasy and fairy tales are produced in 3D.

Why is this so?
On the one hand, 3D production has become the mainstream choice, probably because the strength and main development direction of domestic animation lies in the 3D field, which is what everyone is best at.

On the other hand, the saving of 3D animation is also the main reason why most animation production companies choose 3D.

Take character modeling as an example.

As long as one character modeling is done well, the animations of dozens or even hundreds of episodes can be used all the time. This undoubtedly saves a lot of time and energy for a long-form web text reform project.

and.

These animation companies in China basically grasp the preferences and tastes of the audience, know what they want to watch, and know what their strengths are.

Ever since, female characters who are as beautiful as angels were born...

"To put it bluntly, there are only two main points of interest in the current web adaptation animation, one is a refreshing plot, and the other is to satisfy the audience's fantasies about two-dimensional wives."

Gu Miao lightly tapped the solid wood table with her fingers, her expression was a little solemn: "If you do these two things well, even if the overall production is a mess, there will still be many audiences paying for it."

"That's right!"

Chen Hu quite agreed.

This is indeed a kind of strange image of the web-based animations nowadays. The importance of character modeling is infinitely overstated. The female characters in the original novel are modeled more and more enchantingly.

The cloth on the body is also less than one, giving people the feeling that this kind of character is not designed to serve the plot, but to simply sell meat and please certain groups of people...

That's weird!
The Son-in-law Immortal King is not a mainstream 3D production, which means that there is no so-called roast chicken character modeling in the animation, and there are not even a few female characters.

Then the problem is coming.

Most of the viewers who like to watch animations adapted from web texts like the sexy 3D female character modeling. Will they like this kind of 2D plot-oriented adaptation?

"This is also what I'm most worried about!" Chen Hu rubbed his brows, and said with a helpless expression, "The original book of Zuo Son Immortal King only has one heroine, not as many as other novels, and the presence of the heroine is almost as strong as that of other novels." none!"

"..."

Gu Miao also frowned.

This is indeed a big problem, after all, novels are different from animations.

In the case of novels, it is enough to pretend to make everyone enjoy themselves. It doesn’t matter whether there is a heroine or not. Even readers can’t wait for the role of the heroine to decrease.

But animation can't do that.

Because nine out of ten viewers who watch animation, especially those young male viewers, have the idea of ​​"finding a wife".

It’s okay to have a small number of female characters in your animation, but how many scenes are there?Where can you find your two-dimensional wife?
"never mind!"

"Single female lead is single female lead, and no one stipulates that a harem must be opened."

Gu Miao sighed: "As for the heroine's role is too small and the sense of existence is not high, I will say that I am loyal to the original book, and fans of the original book will help us defend it."

Maybe this kind of adaptation is not very friendly to passers-by and audiences, but for fans who have read the original novel of Zuo Son-in-law Immortal King, it is definitely a great restoration and a great conscience!
what?

That’s how the original book was written. You don’t think it’s good. May I ask who you are?

……

As time goes by, the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" has become a new social phenomenon.

Take Gu Miao as an example.

Even those friends around me who don’t like to watch movies, or usually don’t have time to watch movies, have heard about “Wolf Warrior 2”, and then took the time to watch it.

This is quite a scary thing.

After all, these people, to put it bluntly, are those who don't watch movies, let alone go to movie theaters.

But this summer, "Wolf Warrior 2" successfully made this group of people walk into the cinema, and it was the first time they tried to buy movie tickets after many years. This is indeed an amazing achievement.

Gu Miao didn't know if others were convinced or not, but he admired it anyway.

After all, he couldn't do it.

Not to mention him, there are so many people in Wanbao Animation, no one can do the same thing.

No wonder the box office is so high!
Even people who don't usually watch movies are abducted into movie theaters, and they have to watch "Wolf Warrior 2" by name. Under this premise, it is not too normal to have a box office of several billion.

But then again...

Fortunately, "Bears of the Lost Treasure" has been released. If it continues to be screened in theaters, the current screening rate will be compressed.

Anyway, as far as Gu Miao knows, the movie theater in Jiangchuan Animation Industrial Park is full of "Wolf Warrior 2" movies from morning till night. Want to watch other movies?Sorry there is no show!
This cannot be said to be crushing.

Other new films that were released at the same time completely disappeared under the pressure of "Wolf Warrior 2" before they even had time to meet the audience.

Gu Miao was fortunate that "Bears of the Lost Treasure" was released early and was not affected by the AOE damage. She was also full of expectations for the next box office trend of "Wolf Warrior 2", wondering if the film would eventually break through. Original record.

As it stands now.

This version of Wolf Warrior 2 is probably more than 50 billion at the box office, and it is very hopeful to break through 60 billion. As for 70 billion... it is not impossible!

Just as Gu Miao was kneading sunflower seeds and observing the box office trend of summer movies, Xiao Ke came.

Just after participating in the competition, Xiao Ke, the Go world champion who won the quarter-finals, was warmly welcomed by Gu Miao, and joined the newly established "Go Boy" animation production team.

Not just Xiao Ke.

Like him, he was invited by Wanbao to provide professional guidance for "Youth Go", and there is another professional nine-dan professional Liu Lao.

One old and one young represent the past and present of the Weiqi world respectively, and they jointly serve as professional consultants for "Youth Go".

The reason for this combination is also very simple.

Although Xiao Ke is the world champion and No. 1 in the world of Go in name, but he is at this age after all, high chess ability does not mean that he knows a lot.

Although Mr. Liu is getting old and his chess skills have declined seriously compared to his peak period, he was born in a Go family and has been playing chess since his grandfather's generation. He knows more about Go than Xiao Ke, especially the history.

The division of labor between the two is clear.

Xiao Ke is the three-dimensional incarnation of Jiang Liuer. He will provide the most suitable chess record to the animation production team based on the opinions of Mr. Liu.

And Mr. Liu is responsible for providing some secret and unpopular information about the Weiqi world in the late Ming Dynasty, and checking the plot by the way to see if there are any omissions or mistakes.

Is Jiang Liuer a fictional character?
Yes!

Not only Jiang Liuer, most of the famous chess players in the animation "Go Boys" are fictional characters.

But these characters are not completely original, but refer to some historical celebrities in the Go world.

Jiang Liuer did not exist in history.

But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was indeed a 15-year-old young player with the same surname Jiang who became well-known locally in the Go world.

This is what Mr. Liu told Gu Miao.

Gu Miao was very surprised when she learned about it. He thought Jiang Liu'er was just an original animation character, but he didn't expect it to have a real prototype.

In fact, Elder Liu was also surprised.

When he saw the project "Go Boy", he thought that Gu Miao adapted it based on the experience of that chess player, but he never expected that Gu Miao didn't even know that chess player in the late Ming Dynasty.

I'm embarrassed now.

Gu Miao couldn't tell Mr. Liu the truth, so she could only use the idea provided by one of Wanbao's screenwriters, not the plan written by him to fool the past.

Luckily, Mr. Liu didn't delve into it. He just used this topic to give Gu Miao a brief introduction to the chess player surnamed Jiang who lived in the late Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Ke also joined in.

Although he is young and doesn't know much about these things, he has also studied many ancient chess records, so he is not ignorant.

Chatting and chatting, it was getting dark.

As the host, Gu Miao ordered a table of Jiangchuan's special dishes for the two of them, adhering to the principle of visiting from afar.

At the dinner table, Xiao Ke asked Gu Miao a very important question, that is the direction of the chess record.

"Jiang Liu'er lived in the late Ming Dynasty, and the chess he played must be ancient chess. When it comes to choosing chess records, I prefer famous games from famous players." Gu Miao mused.

This is also the most criticized point of the previous "Go Boy" animation, that is, the choice of chess records is not very good.

On the other hand, "Soul of Chess" next door, most of the choices are famous games.

Although there are some people complaining, insinuating that "Soul of Chess" is suspected of abusing the famous game, after all, it is a famous game at random, which is too outrageous.

But one thing that must be admitted is that the reason why a famous game is a famous game is that it is indeed better than a regular chess game in terms of chess game viewing and chess shape aesthetics.

of course!

This is for professionalism.

For ordinary audiences, they can't understand Go anyway. There is no difference between regular game records and famous games.

This is something Gu Miao has considered.

To put it simply, there must be a famous game, but it can't be abused like "Soul of Chess", at least there is no such thing as a random game that is a famous game.

Second!

"Go Boy" is a cartoon, not a so-called documentary. Appropriate artistic processing is inevitable, and it is impossible to be completely real.

"Isn't it entirely true?"

Xiao Ke and Mr. Liu looked at each other, but they could understand Gu Miao's thoughts.

If Go animation is to be exciting and beautiful, it will inevitably add some other elements into it. Pure Go, children may get sleepy after watching it for a few minutes.

"So what do you think?"

"Trick!"

Gu Miao said with a smile: "I hope you can tailor one or more tricks for the protagonist."

"This kind of trick can be a certain formula, or it can be a special way of playing or solving chess ideas. In short, the principle doesn't matter. The key point is that the name must be cool."

The Hand of God is too conservative.

It’s boring to listen to such a common hand and a master. It’s secondary to give children too professional terms for science popularization. The main reason is that they are not handsome enough!

Really need to come up with a few tricks.

Although these tricks are essentially Go routines or special moves that everyone can use, but the children don't know Go, so they just look cool and handsome.

"I get it roughly."

Although Xiao Ke has won many world championships, he is actually not very old, almost ten years younger than Gu Miao.

Because of his young age and frequent surfing the Internet, he was able to follow Gu Miao's train of thought and understand his thoughts.

As for Mr. Liu...

I still haven't figured it out yet, at such an advanced age, this is the first time I've heard that there is a so-called trick in Go.

This is too abstract!

When Gu Miao said that when Jiang Liuer played chess, vortices and air currents would appear on the chessboard, the chess pieces would emit dazzling golden light, and two dragons, one black and one white, were fighting fiercely above the chessboard, Mr. Liu was stunned.

What the hell?

When did chess have so many special effects?This is too gimmicky!

There is also the saying that Dalong vomited blood immediately after being slaughtered by chess players, which made him feel really old and could no longer keep up with the way of thinking of today's young people.

Old Liu muttered to himself, but Gu Miao didn't know about it.

Because he found that Xiao Ke seemed to be very interested in the glowing Go, and he led him to discuss various special effects for playing chess.

"If you don't shine when playing chess, is that still called playing chess?"

Gu Miao winked and said, "This is the same as the egg fried rice made by Xiaodang's family. If it doesn't shine, can you still eat it?"

"Makes sense."

Xiao Ke agreed deeply: "I can't shine even when I play chess. My world champion is a joke. I don't feel as good as...Jiang Liuer."

"Hahaha!"

His self-joking made both Mr. Liu and Gu Miao laugh out loud.

Are you kidding yourself?

The world championship is no joke. After all, the times are developing and Go is constantly improving. No matter how amazing Jiang Liuer is in the animation, it is difficult to defeat Xiao Ke in reality.

This is not a bragging, but a fact.

Since the end of Go by AI, the current Go has changed a lot. No matter how amazing Jiang Liuer is, he may not be able to beat amateur players now.

After all, no matter how amateurish he is, he has also learned a few tricks from AI. Jiang Liu'er, who has never touched this kind of thing, will overturn if he is not sure.

"AI..."

Talking about Jiang Liuer's coming to the present, whether he can create another brilliant topic, the three of them all thought of the shadow that hangs over the entire Go world-AI!

This stuff is no longer something human can defeat.

It’s not easy to open it, after all, you may not be as high as the calculation ability of AlphaGo.

Unless you turn on a particularly violent hang, such as a super intelligent brain in your brain, defeating magic with magic, let AI also taste the taste of being hanged.

"So, our animation is still too conservative!"

Gu Miao shook her head: "Which kind of chess master is Jiang Liu'er? A true chess master, who suppresses the entire chess world by himself, must be Alpha Dog!"

Make sense.

If it wasn't for rationality, Gu Miao would have wanted Jiang Liu'er to leave and replace AlphaGo as the protagonist of the animation.

After all, how fierce is AlphaGo!Invincible, suppressing the entire chess world with one's own strength, isn't this much more powerful than Jiang Liu'er?

Unfortunately……

Let AlphaGo appear in the late Ming Dynasty, and then go to play Go, this idea is still too bold and abstract.

Even with a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to act like this.
