Chapter 350 Selling Shade (Subscribe)
It is better to have no books than to believe in books.

When making animations, especially animations like "Avanti" adapted from folklore, we need to consider more than "reduction".

Still need to "filter"...

Liang Xiaodong said something that shocked Gu Miao.

In the Western Regions, in Arabia, and in the entire Asia continent, all the folklore about "Avanti" has been sorted out, and about 4-5 million-word novels can be published.

This is quite an astonishing number!
Take a closer look at these folklore, and you will find a fact that makes people "cry and laugh".

That is, many "legends" belong to the "rote" stitching monsters, which are too outrageous and unreasonable.

Liang Xiaodong gave a few examples.

Among the several stories about Avanti circulated in a certain place, there is a legend about "Avanti wit fighting the devil".

A legendary demon threatens the people of a small country and asks them to sacrifice a young girl every day. If they fail, he will show up and eat everyone.

Everyone succumbed to the evil power of the devil and continued to pay tribute. As a result, in the end, there was only one unmarried princess left in the whole country.

broken!

Afanti passed by Xiaoguo, and when he learned about this incident, his sense of justice was overwhelmed, and he immediately thought of a way to punish the devil and save the princess...

The more Gu Miao listened, the more something went wrong.

Avanti is a legendary figure, this is true.But the legendary nature of Avanti is still at the level of "wise men".

In other words, the legend of Avanti should not involve any "supernatural" power.

All the demons have come out?
Avanti, you are really good!Even demons have a way to deal with them. Do we have to subdue the "zombies" some other day, collect ghosts by the way, and beat up a dozen zombies?

"Don't tell me, there really are."

Liang Xiaodong suppressed a smile and said: "According to folklore in many places, the enemies that Afanti has fought against are all kinds of enemies."

"What demons, monsters, orcs, even vampires and werewolves..."

Gu Miao lived in Bengbu.

What is this all about!Avanti is very powerful, but it can't be so fierce, right?
Is this the legendary "three people become a tiger"?
A good folklore, if it is passed on, it will change its flavor. Avanti will soon become an Avatar, and only has no underwear to wear outside, and ran to save the world.

"Don't learn from these."

Gu Miao waved her hands and said, "It's too outrageous, and it's too deified for Afanti."

Avanti is a wise man, a collection of all the good qualities of ordinary people, such as hard work, bravery, intelligence, and wit.

After all.

He is not a person on the "armed side", but the "spiritual sustenance" used by the oppressed grassroots people at that time to get rid of the shackles.

This is the part that Gu Miao deliberately emphasized.

Avanti solves problems more by relying on wisdom rather than force.For the animation production team, this is a link that must be considered.

what?
Master Bai is bullying again?Avanti stepped forward, kicked out and wiped out the Dao, and Master Bayi was directly kicked out of the Milky Way?
tsk tsk!
Just thinking about it, if Avanti used force to solve the problem, Gu Miao immediately shuddered.

Don't do this!
As a wise man, he should have the demeanor of a wise man. Force is not the only way to solve problems, nor is it the best way.

"I see."

Liang Xiaodong nodded, understanding Gu Miao's worry and explained: "In the animation, we only focus on portraying Avanti's wisdom and bravery."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't mention it, he is really afraid of people like Liang Xiaodong, if he gets a muscular Afanti, he will slap anyone who is upset.

To be fair, that's a little too much.

Liang Xiaodong is a sensible and measured person, he can tell which stories can be used and which ones can't.

But Gu Miao was still not at ease, so she asked Liang Xiaodong to let him take a look at the Avanti folklore story after strict screening.

"Selling Shade"!
The first story that caught his eyes was the classic Shade of Trees.

Legend has it that one day, the sun was shining brightly.

The weather was so hot that the poor had to hide under a big tree to enjoy the shade.Unexpectedly, when Master Bayi saw it, he became greedy and came up with a plan to make a fortune.

"This shade belongs to me. If you want to enjoy the shade, you have to pay for it!"

Some poor people paid money, some had no money, and Master Bayi simply robbed them of all valuables.

Until Avanti came riding a little donkey.

When he learned of this, he immediately expressed that he would pay for the shade.

The greedy Lord Bayi laughed at Avanti as an idiot in his heart, and sold the shade of the tree to Avanti without hesitation.

As a result, the time came to the afternoon.

The shade of the trees spread to Master Bai's yard and even to the windows.

When Afan brought out the written evidence, indicating that the shade tree had already belonged to him, and Master Bai had to pay money if he wanted to go home, Master Bayi admitted his cowardice, and paid the money to buy the shade tree back.

Use the way of the person to treat the person's body.

This is not the first time Gu Miao has read the story of "Shade Selling".He had seen this story on TV when he was very young.

But every time I watch it, I get new insights.

When I was a kid, I just felt...

(⊙o⊙) Wow!Afanti is so smart, he can punish Master Bayi like this, why didn't I expect it?
now?
Looking at this story again, Gu Miao always felt that there was a strong sense of "sarcasm".

As a local rich man, Master Bayi would be so stupid?Will you "build a letter" with a muddy leg like Avanti?Will he recognize the written evidence?
Obviously, this is not possible.

Then this story is full of idealization, who would have thought it up?
The answer is obvious. The poor people who were bullied by the rich in those stories are the ones who came up with this story.

In the story, the poor still have "fantasies" about Master Bayi, thinking that he is a person who keeps his promise?No matter how many evil deeds he has done, making him suffer is considered punishment?
It's so sad!
Gu Miao shook her head, not letting her thoughts continue to diverge, otherwise he was afraid that his mind would get hot and he couldn't help but change the plot.

What to change?

Of course, it will end with Master Bayi going bankrupt and the poor turning over to be the masters!

Unfortunately, this is not realistic.

On the one hand, it does not conform to the prototype of the story. On the other hand, Avanti, the protagonist of the story, does not have this ability.

Poor people are oppressed and still imagine that Master Bayi is a good man, and they still count on Avanti to help them. Is this kind of thinking really correct?
Gu Miao didn't dare to say it.

He simply felt that Avanti, as a legendary figure, might have pinned the hopes of many poor people.

But shouldn't fate be in your own hands?
Always count on Avanti to help, he can help everyone, can he help for a lifetime?
　Avanti's story, when I read it after I grow up, I can't stand it anymore...
