my animation era

It's hard to say clearly what the future holds.

But at least from the current point of view, it is true that there are many new employees every year who are fans of a certain Wanbao work and then want to join Wanbao.

This is actually a good sign!

If you join the company because you are passionate about it, your work enthusiasm will definitely be much stronger than that of non-fan employees, and you will also have a stronger sense of belonging and loyalty to the company.

Gu Miao likes these fans.

Because they put their love into their work, they often burst out with inspiration and creativity that amazed him.

Like "Mornings with Martin"!
Within the production team of this animation, everyone brainstormed the settings and plots they came up with, and some of their ideas even broke through the sky.

For example, Martin woke up one morning and found that he had not changed at all and everything seemed normal. This also surprised Martin and felt that he could finally live a normal life.

But when he walked out of the house, he realized that the world had changed a lot. Guo Mo became a girl, his father also wore a skirt, Director Ge and Principal Gao became good friends, and he turned out to be the only boy in the world... …

The script for another episode is that Martin has become a millionaire, worth billions. At the same time, the economic system of this world is extremely collapsed. It only costs one yuan to buy a house and a few cents to buy a luxury car...

Boil!
What kind of imagination is this?

Gu Miao couldn't help but admire the whimsical ideas of these screenwriters. Sometimes he wanted to suggest that his screenwriters should read and write books in Bibi. They might become some kind of Internet writing masters just by relying on their creativity.

The content of the script is diverse.

But most of them are unusable types. Although the creativity is very good, they do not meet the needs of the plot, so they can only be discarded with regret.

Most of the scripts that were actually adopted by him and eventually decided to be included in the animation production were "obvious" identities and roles such as Martin transforming into a vampire, superman, alien, magical girl, big star, original agent detective, etc.

no way!
The animation "Martin's Morning" is a unit drama after all. The length of one episode is limited, and the space used to tell the story is also very limited.

For example, some more complex identity settings, or special transformations that are difficult to carry out the plot, are really difficult to do in animation.

For example, the idea of ​​Martin becoming a special soldier and Guo Morona becoming a comrade-in-arms was a good idea because it required a lot of space to develop the plot, but it was still abandoned.

A total of 52 scripts were finally accepted. According to the length of one short story per episode, the first season of the TV version of the animation "Martin's Morning" has a total of 52 episodes.

After the script is finalized, the next step is animation production.

Start with the easiest.

Dragon Man, Superman and Calabash Man, these episodes whose materials have been drawn early will be produced first, and then it will be the turn of those whose materials have not been drawn in advance.

The two episodes of Dragon Man and Superman are in the original version, and they are also the first time many people come into contact with Martin animation, the beginning of their dreams.

This episode of Calabash Baby is unique to Wanbao.

The story mainly tells that Martin woke up early in the morning and turned into a little Calabash King Kong, possessing the abilities of seven Calabash Babies at the same time.

Just when Teacher Dong took everyone out for an outing, they met the scorpion spirit that broke out of the seal in Scorpion Mountain. With the help of Guo Mo and Luo Na, Martin successfully defeated and sealed the scorpion spirit.

He spits water and fire from his mouth, has infinite power, has an indestructible body, is invisible, has clairvoyance and ears for the wind, and has a precious gourd that can absorb all things...

In this episode, Martin has the most magical abilities in animation. Perhaps only the Martin in the Superman episode can compare with the Martin in this episode.

"Martin Martin!"

"Every morning you wake up~"

"Martin Martin!"

"There is a character waiting~"

"It's so cute to turn into a dragon (so cute), but not so handsome to turn into a primitive person (not so handsome)~"

"Guo Mo is your good friend, and Luo Na is the girl you like..."

In addition to animation production, Gu Miao also approached Master Cao to produce his own theme song for the animation "Martin's Morning".

The theme song of the same name was relatively easy for Master Cao to compose because Gu Miao had a deep memory and could even hum it throughout.

What situation does he fear most?
That is, Gu Miao did not have any specific requirements for the theme song, and did not know what it should look like. As a result, she was not satisfied with the first version.

Children's songs like this have a clear direction and Gu Miao can even hum them on his own initiative. It's much simpler. It's nothing more than adding accompaniment to the song he hums.

"You sing very energetically!"

Master Cao joked: "Why don't we invite a professional singer to sing this song? Can you sing it yourself?"

"Me? I can't!"

Gu Miao's face suddenly changed, and she refused repeatedly: "It's okay if you ask me to hum a few lines, but just record songs. This is not a job I can do."

"Why not?"

"The melody of this song is so simple, and it's not too difficult to sing. The lyrics just go back and forth with just a few lines. I think it's pretty good if you sing it yourself."

Master Cao didn't take it seriously.

The theme song of the animation "Martin's Morning" with the same name is, to put it bluntly, a children's song. Doesn't it matter who sings this kind of song?
Mr. Gu's singing voice is indeed a little less interesting, not as good as those professional singers, not even as good as KTV Maiba, but isn't he still there?
He will adjust the sound later and polish it a little bit to make sure the effect is good!

"really?"

Gu Miao, who originally didn't have the confidence to show off her singing voice, suddenly became interested after hearing Master Cao's words of encouragement and asked, "Can we really produce satisfactory effects in the later stage?"

"That must be dripped!"

Master Cao patted his chest and promised, "Just sing with confidence and boldness. It won't be a problem if it goes off-key or breaks the note. I can save it for you."

Millions of tuners?
joke!What level is Master Cao?If he can't even master this kind of children's song, wouldn't he have been wasting all these years in vain?
"You don't even have to sing, just record some sound source files for me, and I can use AI training to produce the finished product for you."

"Fuck, so awesome?"

Gu Miao's confidence doubled and she was no longer afraid.

He felt that Master Cao was right. Other songs were too deep for him to grasp, so forget it. He didn't dare to sing songs like "Martin's Morning", which was too cowardly.

"Then I'll be ugly!"

"Ahem! Master Cao, please be more attentive. When the time comes, make it sound better for me and try your best to show off my beautiful singing voice..."

Gu Miao cleared her throat and said nonsense seriously: "It's best to bring out the feeling that your ears are about to get pregnant. You know, I have always wanted to make a solo album."

"Well, don't worry!"

Master Cao couldn't hide his smile and said: "I promise to complete the task. Come on, I will be the VIP guest of the recording studio."

Under his bewitchment, Gu Miao couldn't stand the temptation, so she walked into the recording studio in a daze, sang a song in front of everyone, and closed her eyes intoxicatedly after singing.

Where is the applause?
Feel sorry!There was no applause as expected. In addition to sparse laughter, he was greeted only by a sound engineer's complaint: "Why are you torturing my ears? It's so easy to sing out of tune?"

"Ahem, don't say that..."

After all, Master Cao is an old man. When he saw that Mr. Gu was embarrassed, he quickly stopped him and said: "It's just that the first time was not in good condition. There is still time to spare. Let's try to record a few more times." "Ah? Are you coming again?!"

Everyone couldn't hold back anymore.

After listening to it once, your ears will be damaged. If you listen to it a few more times, it will be the ultimate torture comparable to torture.

Can you ask Mr. Gu to stop singing?

There is really a shortage of singers. You guys can raise funds to hire one. There is really no need for Mr. Gu to torture everyone!
……

Regardless of other people's mentality, Gu Miao had a lot of fun in the recording studio anyway, and was even a little reluctant to leave when she left.

This is his first debut single, and he put a lot of emotion into it.

When she thought that this song would soon be available to her fans and friends, Gu Miao couldn't hold back her excitement. She posted a photo of herself singing in a recording studio intoxicatedly on Weibo with the caption :

"Guess what I'm doing?"

"Gu Miao, a personal trainee who has been practicing for seven and a half years, is finally releasing his first solo single, so stay tuned!"

what? !

Not long after the photo was posted, there were thousands of replies in the comment area, and most netizens were shocked.

Confused expressions filled the comment section.

Even many old friends who have worked together came to join in the fun. For example, Mr. Xiao Xiong and Mr. Tan, one of them sent an ellipsis and the other a question mark.

Uncle Long also followed Gu Miao and saw this Weibo post. He didn't know if it was him or his manager who posted a sentence in the comment area, which immediately attracted countless netizens to watch.

【expect! "Flowers"]

Uncle Long's comments were quickly flooded with a series of question marks from netizens.

"Uncle Long, have you been threatened?"

"Operations guy, please don't use Uncle Long's account to post random posts. Are you looking forward to Gu Sanshui's new song?"

"I can't read it, but I'm shocked!"

"Gu Sanshui: I heard that the Chinese music scene is very popular recently? It's okay! I'm here to hold up the lower limit of the Chinese music scene!"

With the attention and discussion of Uncle Long and many celebrity Vs, the topic #GuMiao is about to release a song quickly became the top trending topic.

Many netizens who don't know Gu Miao, or who don't know who Gu Miao is, thought at first that it was some new singer with a huge background who made his debut.

After checking the results, good guy...

Why is a guy who has nothing to do with the entertainment industry here to join in the fun?You even send out songs, you can sing Hammer songs!
Regardless of whether they know Gu Miao or not, and whether they have heard him sing or not, they are basically pessimistic about his new songs, thinking that this guy is just here to make a few numbers and lower the lower limit of the Chinese music scene.

of course!

Although everyone is not optimistic about this big guy's songs, they are still looking forward to his song.

This is not nonsense...

A man who is at the top of the Forbes rich list and the chairman of a Fortune [-] company releases a personal single. Who wouldn’t be curious?

Regardless of whether the singing is good or not, just say whether the singer’s status is big enough or not!

"hateful!"

After seeing that Mr. Xiong actually took a screenshot of his Weibo post and then transferred it to the WeChat Moments to openly laugh at him, Gu Miao became furious.

This guy is so contemptuous.

What is the "lower limit of the Chinese music scene" that has been found?The songs he recorded haven't been released yet, so how dare you judge that they don't sound good?
"Okay, don't be angry."

Lao Zhang smiled and reassured: "Although Mr. Xiong's words are unpleasant, he also said that after your song is released on the music platform, he will definitely open a membership to support it!"

"Stop listening to his nonsense."

"Is he supporting me? He is clearly looking for trouble. When the time comes, he will definitely buy trolls to hack me!"

The more Gu Miao thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling that these gangsters were in vain.

When a good buddy releases a song, it’s fine if he doesn’t come to help with charting and support, but he actually wants to buy a navy army to try to criticize his good buddy?
Is there any brother like this?

Fortunately, Mr. Tan, a true brother, learned that Gu Miao had released a song and directly expressed his stance without saying anything. After his song was released, he would definitely help promote it on the entire Internet!
This deeply moved Gu Miao.

Mr. Tan's company is not small in scale. It was once ranked alongside Penguin and collectively known as one of China's Internet giants.

If he helps Gu Miao do his best to promote it, he can't imagine how popular Gu Miao's new song will be by then. It's not an exaggeration to say that it will be popular all over the Internet.

The songs he sings have become popular, so the animation "Mornings with Martin" can also benefit from it. After all, it is the theme song of the animation!

Thinking of this, Gu Miao suddenly stopped being angry.

Whether Mr. Tan or Mr. Bear, these little friends just want to watch the fun, but in a sense, their behavior of watching the fun also helps the animation "Martin's Morning".

"That's a good thing!"

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "If this theme song was not sung by you, but by another unknown singer, do you think there would still be this kind of attention and attracting effect?"

"That's true..."

Gu Miao nodded.

He sang the theme song for "Mornings with Martin". Although it is definitely not as good as those professional singers, he has great traffic!
Look at the heat.

The new song hasn't been released yet, and there are already so many people on the Internet waiting to see him embarrass himself. When the new song is released, the popularity of the animation "Martin's Morning" will explode!
So Lao Zhang is right, this is really a good thing, a big good thing!
Regardless of whether everyone is waiting to see him embarrass himself or whether they are paying attention to this matter because of his identity, in short, the theme song he sang is very popular, and that is enough.

It has happened before that an animation became popular because of a song.

For example, how did Gu Miao first learn about the animation "Lotus Lantern"?Of course it's because of "Love is Just One Word" sung by Xinzhe Zhang!

There is also the neon robot combat animation "ALDNOAH.ZERO". Gu Miao had never heard of it, let alone watched it.

But after he heard "aLIEz", a famous song on a certain website, he immediately became interested in the animation, and then he ran to take a look...

Think about it from this perspective.

Maybe the animation "Martin's Morning" will also benefit from Gu Miao singing the theme song, so that more outsiders will pay attention to it, and even go out to take a look.

This effect lasts for a long time.

Maybe ten or twenty years later, no one will watch the animation, but as long as Gu Miao is still active in the public eye, everyone will think that he once sang a song, and that song was the theme song of a certain animation, and then... I will be curious to search for animations.

This is a virtuous circle.

Gu Miao sang the theme song herself, which not only saved an extra expense, but also attracted a large amount of traffic to the animation, which can be said to be a huge profit.
