Chapter 1053 Cross-Work Strength System

When the news that the copyright of the "Superman" series was sold to a Chinese company spread throughout the United States and even the world, many people cursed, ridiculed and even insulted Wanbao.

No way, discrimination!
It's normal for some people to be upset. After all, Superman wearing underwear was once a representative symbol of European and American culture. Many people have been fans of Superman for three generations.

Many people cannot emotionally accept such a cultural symbol falling into the hands of a foreign company.

The media is also unanimously bad-mouthing.

It has become a different kind of political correctness to slander and discredit Wanbao's remake of "Superman".

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible for a company like Wheeler to sell Superman to Wanbao and then start to whitewash itself and belittle the Superman series to please the mainstream public.

In fact.

Whitewashing is the main purpose!

Weller Company single-handedly created the great IP of "Superman", which was once a hero in the minds of countless people.

But for the sake of money, they sold Superman to a Huaguo company, which offended many passers-by and fans, and the public opinion fell to the bottom.

In order to reverse the public opinion, they naturally have to cater to the mainstream values ​​of Europe and the United States, and stand up and say: Clark Kent is only called Superman when he was in Wheeler Company. Under Wanbao, the so-called Superman is just a circus clown!

What do Chinese people know about Superman?
If they understand Superman and can be a good superman, the cows at John’s Farm next door can go to Hollywood to compete for the best actor...

"It's the enemy of the whole world!"

After opening the browser and scanning the overseas media's reports on the remake of "Superman" animation, as well as Weller's mocking statement on Superman, Gu Miao sighed.

Not a single one looked good.

The lawsuit against Wanbao Animation by Weller Company and Mardete Comic Company won the support of many passers-by, even though it was a show.

Wanbao is almost portrayed as a villain.

Anyway, according to Gu Miao's observation, the public opinion in North America generally looks down on the remake of "Superman", and this is almost becoming a popular meme.

When you don't know what to chat with a friend, you might as well ask him if he knows about the "Superman" remake, and then say with a flamboyant expression: "The biggest joke of the century, isn't it?"

In such a bad public opinion environment, the pressure faced by the "Superman" animation production team can be imagined.

Litigation is a trivial matter.

In order to ease the pressure on the production team and prevent them from being affected by various off-site factors, Gu Miao specially dispatched 12 elite officers from the legal department of the Jiangchuan headquarters to handle related lawsuits.

Jiangchuan Pizza Hut is here!
Wanbao's legal department is not in vain. Although it left Jiangchuan's home court and went to North America for an away game thousands of miles away, its strength has declined slightly, but it is still very reliable to solve such a small lawsuit.

But then again...

This kind of lawsuit itself has no technical content, and the other party does not expect to win Wanbao. If it can delay for a little time, it will be considered a success if Wanbao is disgusted.

Compared with these lawsuits, Gu Miao paid more attention to the completion quality of the "Superman" remake animation.

Because he knows that winning or losing a lawsuit doesn't change anything. If the animation is not good enough, even if the lawsuit is won, it's the same as losing.

of course!

Litigation and animation are two different things. It is best to win the lawsuit and do animation well.

Due to the time difference, when the rough cut sample of the remake of "Superman" was sent to Gu Miao, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

Gu Miao, who had just paid the public rations and was feeling powerless, rushed to the study to read the rough cut version on the computer even though her body was exhausted.

Only one episode of animation...

Maybe he was worried that Mr. Gu’s English is not very good, so he directly enjoyed the original film. Under the premise of pure English dubbing and no subtitles, the viewing experience was not good. Dave also thoughtfully added Chinese subtitles.

According to the translated Chinese, the title of the rough-cut sample of this episode is called "The Last Son of Krypton".

Look at this title and you will know that it is the first episode, the beginning and origin of Superman animation.

There is nothing novel about the plot, it is nothing more than explaining the causes and consequences of the Krypton explosion and Superman being sent away by his parents. There is no earth scene in this episode, and it is mainly from the perspective of Krypton.

As for the big scene...

Perhaps the shocking scene of the Krypton explosion at the end of the film can be called a big scene of the explosion of funds?
Leaving aside the big scene, just talking about the impression, Gu Miao thinks it is acceptable, at least there is no obvious sense of discomfort and awkwardness, and the whole process is very comfortable to watch.

Especially the fighting portrayal and body movements of the characters have a very obvious American manga style.

That's pretty cool!
The character creation of Superman's Mom and Dad is also more colorful than expected, and they have not fallen into a stalemate of facial makeup. This is what Gu Miao is most satisfied with.

If he had to be picky, it might be that Superman's appearance when he was a child did not meet his psychological expectations.

"How did Superman look so abstract when he was young?"

Gu Miao thought about it carefully, it seems that in the original version of "Superman TAS", Xiaochao didn't look like this!Why did Xiaochao get plastic surgery and change his face when it came to the Wanbao version?

this is not OK.

It's not that Gu Miao has to pursue the so-called reduction, but Wanbao's remake of Little Superman, the face shape is indeed too strange.

Not ugly, not ugly!
Abstract appearance means that Little Superman doesn't look like his father at all, and the appearance of Superman's father is almost a one-to-one replica of the adult version of Superman.

what does this mean?
This means that, as the same person, Superman looks nothing like he did when he was a child!

It's too ridiculous.

what?Going to the earth to live for a period of time can change a person's basic appearance, and there will be a drama of "Male Big Eighteen Changes"?

Other than that, everything else is pretty good, except that Superman's appearance when he was a child needs to be adjusted and modified.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the animation has not been broadcast yet.

Otherwise, if the audience finds out that there is such a big difference in appearance between the Superman when he was a child and the Superman when he grew up, there may be some conspiracy theory!
Maybe Superman's father will be given a green hat by some unscrupulous fans.

……

Wanbao's "Superman" animation remake is mainly based on Warner's "Superman TAS".

However, the Wanbao remake is not a complete remake of the TAS version, but incorporates the settings and backgrounds of multiple different versions of Superman.

What is a remake?
Since it is a remake, it is to break the previous concepts and reshape a set of setting systems.

Obviously, the setting system of the Wanbao version of "Superman" animation is infinitely close to the later movie version of Superman.

As for the strength of this version of Superman, according to the evaluation method of the previous life, it should be between the modern superman and the silver superman, not the complete silver superman, but slightly stronger than the familiar modern superman.

Just look at this strength.

Because it is an animation, the expressiveness of the screen will be stronger than that of the live-action version, and it will look more powerful.

But when it comes to the setting system in detail, when the live-action version is released, it may not necessarily be a performance of strength!

Superman's combat power fluctuates.

Anyway, Gu Miao has set a threshold, as long as the combat power does not exceed the upper limit of this threshold and does not violate the basic setting system, the rest depends on how the screenwriter writes.

If it is really fierce, it may be able to have the level of a super silver, and if it is weak, it may also be dubbed the title of "Shame of Superman".

It's all uncertain.

The only thing that is certain is that, no matter how ups and downs, Superman's upper limit is always there, and the status of the Optimus Prime of the Justice League is unshakable.

Speaking of this, Gu Miao immediately thought of a big common pitfall of superheroes in American comics.

The power system is too complicated!
Take Superman as an example, the same character has different sources of power system in different periods, some are from the technological side, some are from the mysterious side...

Can't we unify it?

Not only DC, but Marvel also has the same problem. The power system displayed by the same superhero in different periods may be very different.

Like Hulk and Spiderman.

It can only be said that Meiman's practice of restarting the universe and reopening the timeline without moving is really too sloppy and brainless.

In contrast.

Domestic fantasy works do a better job in this regard. Regardless of whether the story is attractive or not, at least the collapse of the setting and restart of the universe rarely occurs.

If you are talking about cultivating immortals, then I will give you a set of training systems for Qi training, foundation building, Yuanying, and Huashen, which will not be modified and adjusted in the middle, and a set of power systems will be used to death.

As for the Dou Huang boasting to become a god in the early stage, and the Dou Zun looking at the door in the later stage...

You can say that the combat power system collapsed, and there were too many strong players in the later stage. This is not in line with common sense, but they have not restarted the universe and restarted the settings. It is still a set of settings that will be used to death.

The most stupid thing a superhero in the American comics has ever done is to restart the universe and restart settings at every turn, which increases the entry threshold for no reason.

Gu Miao would never do that.

No matter how the Wanbao version of "Superman" performs in the end, anyway, the later live-action version, big movie or other derivative works will all be developed based on this work, and there will be no new setting.

Moreover, the setting system formulated by the remake of "Superman" not only covers the role of Superman, but also covers the roles of the Justice League such as Batman and Wonder Woman.

Belonging is once and for all.

"Speaking of the unified setting system, I suddenly thought of a question." Huang Kun asked curiously.

"Say it!"

"Like "Superman", the story always takes place in the same world, and it is not a big problem to keep the power system consistent."

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Kun frowned and said, "But if it is a cross-world work, such as "Roaming the World of Animation", how can the power system be unified?"

This is something that bothers him.

Although in "Roaming the Animation World", there will be no scenes of "Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong" or "Pleasant Goat fighting Xiong Er", so there is no need to worry about the collapse of the power system, but he still wants to know the answer.

"This is not a cross-world, this is a cross-work!"

Gu Miao rolled her eyes: "As long as this kind of cross-work setting can be justified, I think it can be done in any way."

You said that Xiong Daxiong and Xiong can beat Pluto to the ground in the world of "Super Beast Armed Forces" together. As long as you can give a "slightly reasonable" explanation, it is not impossible.

After all, they are all cross works.

This cross-work power system has always been mostly fabricated, and consistency is not important. The important thing is that you have to convince the audience.

for example.

Everyone must have heard of the classic cross-work masterpiece "Calabash Baby vs. Transformers".

Just listening to the name is very sloppy, but the power system of this work is not ordinary, but they gave a very reasonable explanation.

After the gourd brothers defeated the monsters, Megatron suddenly attacked, and the old god specially taught them that all of them could use modern weapons.

The old fairy took out the laser gun: "If you want to defeat the Decepticons, you must also learn to use modern weapons!"

The eldest baby and the second baby have become missile experts, and the third baby is a pure special soldier, equipped with a laser pistol on the basis of copper heads and iron arms.

The fourth child can breathe fire and is equipped with flamethrowers and lightning mortars, the fifth child can spray water and is equipped with mine-piercing shells, the sixth child and the seventh child can drive rockets and spaceships...

Do you think "Gourd Baby vs. Transformers" is supernatural powers vs. modern technology?

Not at all!

The author may also know that Cucurbita's supernatural powers are too bullying to Megatron, so he asked them to pick up modern military weapons and use technology VS technology for a fair duel.

"I see."

Although I haven't watched the legendary work "Gourd Baby vs. Transformers", after Mr. Gu's in-depth explanation, Huang Kun basically understands it.

The balance of the power system across works is not to let you choose between the young model and the school beauty, but to find a rich woman to increase the thickness of the wallet first, and then come to support them later.

"Fortunately, "Roaming in the Animation World" doesn't have the plot of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, otherwise I would have to rewrite a power system, which would be too troublesome." Huang Kun said happily.

"It's really troublesome!"

Gu Miao nodded: "However, animations like "Roaming the World of Animation" don't need this."

Is there any battle scene in the animation world that Xiao Wanbao travels through?

No!

Except for the worlds of "Dragon Fighter", "Light Messenger", "Digimon", and "Super Beast Armor", Wanbao's other animation works are all peaceful and peaceful ordinary worlds.

Xiao Wanbao travels to these worlds, at most playing with four-wheel drive remote control cars, catching Pokémon with Xiaozhi, playing tennis with Ryoma, playing cards with Yumi, catching Jerry with Tom...

Boil!
What kind of power system is needed between these animation worlds?
Without battle scenes, naturally there is no need to consider the balance of power systems in different works.

Probably the only thing to consider is, assuming Xiao Wanbao gets a deck in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, can she summon monsters in the world of The Prince of Tennis?
"My outspin serve is not easy to catch, come on! Show me your..."

"My turn! Usually summon ~ chestnut ball, activate the effect of chestnut ball, discard a card in hand, and invalidate your spin serve!"

Ryoma: "..."

good good good good!That's how you play, right?
　I haven't watched "Gourd Baby vs. Transformers", the content is what I heard from others...
