my animation era

Chapter 1112 Gundam stands on the earth

To read "Three Thousand Questions of the Naughty Blue Cat", first read the hardcover book "One Hundred Thousand Whys".

This is Gu Miao's advice to screenwriters.

I have to say that this trick is very effective. The screenwriters, who were originally confused about this kind of popular science knowledge animation and didn’t know where to start, immediately grasped the key points.

""One Hundred Thousand Whys" is a good book. It will not only broaden children's horizons after reading it, but adults will also benefit a lot after reading it." Gu Miao highly praised it.

"I agree with that."

Guo Hongwei, who appeared out of nowhere, nodded repeatedly after hearing these words: "Many adults look down on this kind of book, thinking that they have already mastered the popular science knowledge in the book."

But the fact is that "One Hundred Thousand Whys" is all-inclusive, and not everyone knows the knowledge in it.

Adults have mastered a lot of knowledge.

But this knowledge only stays in one or two fields. If you ask them to talk about the knowledge in their own fields, they may be able to explain it in more detail than in the book.

But what about knowledge outside one’s own field?

Not everyone has a photographic memory, and not everyone is born with the gift of knowing.

Gu Miao believes that all-inclusive popular science books such as the Encyclopedia and One Hundred Thousand Whys should be read regardless of age.

Without taking a look, how would you realize that you still have a lot of knowledge that you don’t know?

This has to be mentioned. When Gu Miao was in the second year of middle school, she really liked watching those boring science fiction blockbusters, and then subconsciously complained about how small the "solar system" was!

Yes……

Compared with the dazzling Milky Way and the boundless universe, the solar system is really too small, as small as a particle of dust.

But when he read some professional books, he realized that the solar system that he had underestimated was actually surprisingly large.

How big is it?

It is so big that human beings may not be able to leave the solar system until they perish, to see the vast and vast deep space of the universe.

This has to mention the gold-plated records carried by the Voyager [-] probe.

There are always civilians who express their opinions on the Internet, believing that the gold-plated records carried by Voyager [-] were a wrong decision and that humans should not expose themselves to other civilizations that may exist in the universe.

But in fact……

Voyager 74000 is still orbiting in the solar system. It will take at least [-] years to fly to Proxima Centauri, the nearest neighbor to the sun.

The universe is really empty!
This is a pessimistic thought that Gu Miao had after reading the book.If he hadn't read the book, he might have thought that interstellar travel was as simple as visiting a house.

The same is true.

Even he, a highly educated person, has things he doesn’t know and will be shocked by new knowledge. What about the children?
The stories told in the animation "Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat" are actually the popularization and development of scientific knowledge.

Children most likely do not know this knowledge, especially children in primary school, who have few opportunities to be exposed to it.

For example, the question raised in the first episode is: How was the earth formed?
The question asked by Aunt Chicken at the beginning of the animation is not only difficult for children to answer, but also some adults may not know the specific answer and can only make a vague guess.

"I know that the earth was slowly developed by our ancestors who created the world..."

The blue cat answered the question before Naughty and Fatty according to the legend of Pangu's creation of the sky.

"wrong answer!"

Aunt Chicken rejected the blue cat's answer and explained the mystery about the origin of the earth to everyone by playing a game.

The wording is extremely professional and sophisticated.

The original version of "Three Thousand Questions of Naughty Blue Cat" has a good science popularization effect, but there is also a problem, that is, the wording is too technical, and many children cannot understand it.

So in the Wanbao version, Gu Miao changed the way and used a "fun game" to let the blue cat Naughty Feifei and others personally introduce the answers to the questions.

They rolled snowballs in the snow, and as the snowballs slowly rolled up, they formed the initial planetary embryos, and the snow that stuck together were the solid particles and gaseous particles of the original solar system.

Finally, everyone arranged the rolled snowballs in order, and Aunt Chicken clapped her hands and praised: "Children, now you know how the earth was formed, right?"

"understood!"

The plot is simple but not simple. It is simple because there is no connection and continuity, but it is not simple because it talks about a knowledge point that many people do not understand.

of course!

In the process, what happens around characters such as Blue Cat Naughty and Feifei Fatty is also full of humor, making people laugh non-stop.

"What a strange animation..."

Guo Hongwei also saw the sample of the first episode and couldn't help but laugh: "It is the funniest and most attractive among popular science animations, and the most popular science effect among funny animations."

"That's a good summary!"

After glancing at him, Gu Miao asked: "Why are you so free today and come to my place?"

"Gundam is about to be broadcast!"

Seeing the master asking about it, Guo Hongwei quickly explained: "Master, do you have any instructions for the premiere of this animation?"

"No!" Gu Miao shook her head and immediately added, "If I have to say it, I actually don't have much hope for the premiere."

"what?!"

Guo Hongwei was greatly surprised.

What does it mean to have no expectations for the premiere?Isn’t this the project you’ve designated to be optimistic about?Since you are very optimistic about it, why do you say you have no hope for the premiere?
Is there something wrong with Gundam?
"That's not the reason. I'm optimistic about Gundam because I'm optimistic about the future. And I don't have expectations for the premiere. I mean it's difficult for you to win the support of too many viewers through the premiere."

Gu Miao shook her head.

Gundam is a good project, always has been.

But whether this project is the original version or the Wanbao version, it is estimated that it will be difficult to create too much waves when it is first broadcast.

the reason is simple.

The target audience of this animation is not at all those elementary school students and kindergarten children with snotty noses.

But the TV station will use this animation to target those children. After all, in the minds of Chinese people, animation is just for those children!
Therefore, under this promotion and broadcast strategy, the premiere will inevitably be mediocre.

But that's not a big deal.

Only after the premiere was uneventful did the TV station analyze the specific reasons. After the analysis, they came to a very unexpected conclusion, that is, Gundam is more attractive to teenagers than to children.

"Don't really expect it to premiere on the TV platform. Let me tell you, Gundam's future is brighter on the online platform!"

“Will the online version be more popular?”

"That's right! I believe you have also discovered that the animation "Mobile Suit Gundam" is different from previous animations."

Gu Miao explained patiently: "This kind of animation is suitable for watching the online version. If you have enough time, you can watch it more carefully. You can't pause and rewatch the TV version if you just go through it quickly. You will miss many details."

"Indeed..."

Guo Hongwei nodded.

"Mobile Suit Gundam" really has too many details, and there are also many hidden surprises.

The TV version was too hasty to watch, and the audience was mostly primary school students and kindergarten children, so poor performance is normal.It has to be an online version!

Audiences who like to watch animation on online platforms are generally teenagers, and they happen to be the target audience of Gundam.

Moreover, the online version can be paused and reverted, and there are also barrages and comments. You can see more details and surprises, and the experience will be much better.

"Then we will focus on promoting the online version. As for the TV version, let it fend for itself!" Guo Hongwei made arrangements.

……

For the broadcast of the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam", the focus of promotion was on the Internet.

It’s still Wanbao Video, it’s still available to members first, and it’s still updated with two episodes every day.

But this time, in order to build momentum for the Gundam animation, Wanbao Video launched a rare blockbuster event and changed the entire APP interface to "Gundam Mecha Style".

The cards are full!

When other animations were aired, no matter how popular they were, Wanbao Video never made such a big splash.

It can be seen that Wanbao Video really attaches great importance to the Gundam animation.

In fact, not only Wanbao Video, but also many subsidiaries such as Wanbao Games, Wanbao Animation, Wanbao Toys and Wanbao Comics also attach great importance to this project.

Especially Wanbao toys!
Lao He was so nervous that his palms were all sweaty, and he kept praying that "Mobile Suit Gundam" would be a smooth hit, and it would be best if it became popular in the industry.

How else would he sell toys?

Under Mr. Gu's advance arrangements, Wanbao Toys invested heavily in building a Gundam factory specifically for the production of Gundam-related models.

This level of investment can be said to be extremely bold. He didn't dare to think about what would happen if Gundam failed to become popular and died suddenly due to the cold?

When Gundam goes cold, the biggest loser is not Wanbao Video or Wanbao Animation, but their Wanbao toys...

Who dares to believe this?
Under the spotlight, the new "Mobile Suit Gundam" animation has landed on Wanbao Video, starting a journey of serial updates.

Episode [-]: Gundam stands tall on the earth!
Universal Era 0079.

The Principality of Zeon launched a war against the Earth Federation. In just one week at the beginning of the war, both sides had suffered heavy casualties. More than half of the civilians were involved in the war and died.

The war gradually entered an anxious period.

One day, a group of Zeon reconnaissance special attack soldiers driving a Zaku aircraft discovered the Federation's mobile suits and decided to destroy the fortress.

However, the son of the federal mobile suit designer, Amuro, a young man who loved machinery since he was a child, actually used a "manual" he picked up to help the fallen Gundam stand up...

Gundam stands tall on the earth!
This is the beginning of a new era and the glorious starting point of the Gundam series. Everything starts with the destruction of the fortress by the two Zakus.

The animation rhythm is quite tight, and it doesn't look like a traditional robot animation. Instead, it feels like watching an epic war movie.

Especially when Gundam stood up and launched a counterattack against Zaku, the plot seemed to have entered Amuro's rhythm.

"Cool!"

Liu Zida, a member user for ten years and a senior animation fan, said that "Mobile Suit Gundam" is the coolest robot animation he has ever seen.

Just looking at the body design, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after seeing the animation, he realized how wrong he was.

This machine body has changed so much from the previous robots.

Is this Gundam?

Simply cool!

Other robot animations, especially mecha animations, don't have the mechanical feel they should have at all, but Gundam is different. Gundam really feels like a mechanical creation.

This feeling is easy to distinguish.

The operation method and operation logic, including the airflow ejected when the Gundam is running, and Amuro's movements of reading the manual, all prove the "realism" of the Gundam.

As we all know, no manual is needed to operate a mecha or a robot.

Who is a serious person who reads the manual?
It happened that Gundam read it, and not only did he get an instruction manual, but the files were also thick and well-drawn.

Liu Zida was so obsessed with this kind of detail.

He likes this kind of animation that pays great attention to details. He likes this kind of rigorous animation. The animation of reading the manual before starting the mecha is just perfect for him.

"Mobile Suit Gundam……"

Thinking about this title, Liu Zida stared at the screen, where Amuro had just defeated two Zaku's Original Gundam mechs driven by Amuro, and he was so greedy.

Damn, he’s so handsome!
I don’t know, I’m scared.

Originally, he was not very interested in this kind of robot, but after watching two episodes of the animation, he really became very interested in "Gundam".

I didn’t think about this before, but now I look carefully, ouch!The Gundam's body design seems to be in line with mechanical aesthetics?
The color scheme is also pretty nice.

Even the defeated Zakuji looks good, with a "stupid and cute" design aesthetic.

That's right!

Although the RX-78-2 Gundam is a favorite of his, his favorite is actually Zaku, who appeared in the anime and wreaked havoc everywhere.

Don't you think this thing is very manly?
This is what Liu Zida thinks. RX-78-2 is very handsome and classy, ​​but it is too idealistic.

On the contrary, a machine like the Zaku, although compared to the RX-78-2, looks a bit silly, big and black, but coincidentally, Liu Zida likes this kind of silly, black and thick machine.

A real man must drive Zaku!

After thinking silently, Liu Zida seemed a little itchy and clicked on the "Mobile Suit Gundam Model Toy" advertising link recommended to him by the Wanbao video website.

Wuhu!

Not only the RX-78-2 Gundam, but also his favorite Zaku!

Now I have to buy one.

Although he hated spending money on Gu Sanshui, Liu Zida really liked the animation "Mobile Suit Gundam" even though he had only watched two episodes.

It just so happens that the price is not expensive either.

After decisively placing an order at the official flagship store of Wanbao Toys and purchasing an RX-78-2 and a Zaku, Liu Zida closed the web page and began to think about a problem.

Regarding the animation "Mobile Suit Gundam", he will definitely give a video lecture.

But what should the video be about?

The two episodes of animation he had just watched suddenly came back to him in his mind. Thinking of the detailed depictions everywhere in the animation, he suddenly had an idea.

It's okay to boast, but it must be to the point, otherwise people will think that he took Gu Sanshui's bad money and let it go!

The most attractive thing about Gundam is undoubtedly the details that can be seen everywhere in the animation.

OK!

Then I will make a video to summarize the easily overlooked details in the animation, and give everyone a good bragging about the "unusual" robot animation "Mobile Suit Gundam".
