Chapter 304 Where did Cheng Liuxiang's arm go? (seeking subscription)
Gu Miao lay flat.

He finally understood that the movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Snake Comes Around" is too popular and highly anticipated.

Because of this expectation...

This led to the official release of any "clues and horses", and the fans who were starving for food would swarm to speculate on the development of the plot based on these clues.

don't understand?
To give a simple example, the domestic stand-alone game "Black Myth: Wukong" became popular all over the Internet as soon as it was exposed, and it has been expected by many gamers.

Then what happened?
This group of expecting players not only conducts detailed frame-by-frame analysis of the game demo screen, but also searches for various "easter eggs" and special designs.

Some people even dug out the Weibo of the main creator of the game, and even the previous works, trying to speculate on the story background and plot development of "Black Myth: Wukong" from various angles.

so……

Wanbao Animation officially released the movie trailer of "Snake Comes Around", and it's not surprising that fans who were overwhelmed with curiosity discovered the plot.

After all, movies are easier to guess than games.

The trailer of 1 minute and 05 seconds, although in Gu Miao's view, did not reveal too much content of the main film, and did not even constitute a "spoiler" suspicion.

But the audience can't hold back, the per capita "Sherlock Holmes" detective!
Looking for clues and Easter eggs one by one, all kinds of reasoning and guessing, and the 1 minute and 05 second trailer, you can roughly figure out what story this movie wants to tell.

Spoilers are inevitable!
After thinking about this truth, Gu Miao completely lay down and stopped bothering about these "suspected spoiler" discussions on the Internet.

Spoilers are spoilers!

To be honest, most of those well-known Hollywood blockbusters, except for a few works, were almost spoiled when the trailers were released.

But why do you still watch it?
The reason is actually very simple. After all, the spoiler is only a "text" expression, and the actual impact is not as direct as the "picture".

This is especially common in the field of animation.

Many light novels, manga adaptations, non-original animations, fans who have read the original works, don't they know the plot development route?

Bullshit!

The first episode of Spiderman just aired, and the heroine is still researching skills and panels, but the barrage has already revealed the spoiler, and the heroine has turned into a human.

As a result, did this affect the playback volume of Spiders?Not really!Everyone knows that Gui knows that before seeing the screen, there is still a certain sense of anticipation.

……

Although the early spoilers have caused a lot of trouble to the project team of the movie "Snake Comes Around", the work has to continue.

Gu Miao can't just temporarily change the script because of the spoiler and there is no sense of suspense and anticipation, right?
This kind of thing is impossible!

The success or failure of a movie, especially an animated movie, does not actually have a big impact on whether it is spoiled or not.Because human beings are "visual animals", the visual impact is far greater than brain supplementation.

"Snake Comes Around" is a 2D animation with some 3D shots in the middle.

Due to Gu Miao's request, most of the characters, scenes, and props were redrawn, so that the distinction between movies and TV animations was obvious, so the workload was heavy.

As of early June.

The movie is only a third of the way through, and it's still far from finished.Considering the film production cycle, Gu Miao took the time to visit the "Dimension" studio next door.

"Three Musketeers of Jelly" has been approved.

Under the leadership of Gu Miao, this little-known work has quietly completed the preparatory work.

Now there's a tricky problem.

modeling!

As we all know, the core of 3D animation is modeling, and the quality of modeling will directly determine the quality of this animation.

This does not need an example.

There are a lot of 3D animations with modeling rubbish on the market, just pick one and see what the expressiveness of rough 3D modeling is.

Since "Three Musketeers of Jelly" is also a 3D animation, Gu Miao must personally check the modeling part.

"No, there is no jelly texture!"

After watching the first version of the 3D modeling of Orange Liuxiang, Lu Xiaoguo and Pineapple Fuxue, Gu Miao shook her head.

The title is The Three Musketeers of Jelly, and the character does not have the smooth Q-bomb texture of "Jelly", isn't it ridiculous?

"And here..."

Gu Miao pointed to the arm of Cheng Liuxiang's character model, frowned and asked, "Why did you pinch out the arm for a jelly figure?"

"what?"

The modeler thought that Mr. Gu would say that the arm he pinched was too thick, or too thin, and too lacking in aesthetics.

But he never expected it.

Mr. Gu actually asked him, why did he pinch the arm of a jelly man?
Yeah, why?

"Isn't it a swordsman? I thought, even if it's a one-armed swordsman like the Condor Hero, he still uses a sword in his hand!"

The modeler blinked and said: "The posture of the jelly man holding the sword, don't he use his hands? Control the sword with energy, or..."

"I know it's with a hand-held sword!"

Gu Miao waved her hand and said, "Whether it's a jelly man or a normal human being, they must be holding a sword. I'm asking about the arm, do you understand the arm?"

arm?

The modeler stared at the character model in the computer, puzzled.

He pinched it very well!Even Director Du, who was passing by, praised him, saying that he is very "artistic". What went wrong?
"Alright, alright!"

Seeing that the modeler still didn't understand her words, Gu Miao covered her forehead and sighed, "You listen to me, delete Cheng Liuxiang's arm, and just leave a round hand."

"what?!"

This time everyone was shocked.

Remove the arm part, leaving only one hand?What kind of outrageous operation is this?Can you still model Jiangzi?

Isn't that hand "floating"?

Just thinking about that scene makes everyone feel a little bit stupefied.

There is no arm support, "floating in the air" with both hands, posing in various poses, isn't this really a horror movie?
Incomprehensible return incomprehensible.

In view of Mr. Gu's clear instructions, the modeler quickly adjusted the "orange fragrance" in the computer.

"Hmm! Make your hands rounder."

Gu Miao stroked her chin and said, "The jelly man's hands must be different from ours. Fingers can be ignored, they must be round!"

"Yes, this is cute!"

Looking at Orange Liuxiang on the computer, it has lost its arms, leaving only two small "ball" hands floating on both sides of its body out of thin air, Gu Miao nodded.

But... cute?
Colleagues around, upon hearing Mr. Gu's words and looking at the "weird" jelly man in the computer, a question could not help but flash in their minds.

Cute is cute, but this...

Is it too counterintuitive?

No arms!Have you ever seen a jelly man with no arms but two small balls?

It's too abstract!

Is this art form a little too far ahead for 21st century kids?

　In the Guobao series, the character without arms is a big cute point. If you don’t believe me, try to think about it, if it has arms, wouldn’t it be so cute?
