Chapter 450 Design Monster Cards with "Shan Hai Jing"? (seeking subscription)

Designing card effects is definitely a very interesting job.

The gang of Wanbao Animation, Wanbao Comic and Wanbao Games, after receiving instructions from Mr. Gu, set up a WeChat group called [Yu-Gi-Oh!] behind the scenes.

The group leader is Gu Miao.

There are a total of 108 members in the group, including dozens of positions such as animators, special effects artists, editors, cartoonists, light novel writers, front desk girls, and game planners.

In this group, everyone only needs to do one thing:

If you have any particularly great ideas or ideas, you can put them forward in the group and let everyone discuss the feasibility.

If you think it is feasible, OK!

The artists in the group will immediately draw a sample picture of the "card surface", and then the screenwriters in the group will add a "cool" effect description copy for this card.

So far, a "Yu-Gi-Oh" card was born!
Wanbao Toys took the sample to the factory for printing, and the Wanbao comic and animation production team received the physical card, and then created content based on the effect and description of the card.

Boil!
It is simply a complete "industrial chain"!
As the group leader of this group, he is also the number one behind-the-scenes manipulator of "Yu-Gi-Oh".Gu Miao saw many interesting proposals in the group.

For example.

A numerical planner from Wanbao Games suggested that according to the legend of the "Nine Sons of the Dragon" in Huaguo, nine mythical beast cards such as "Prisoner Bull", "Jiazi" and "Suanni" should be made.

OK!

This proposal was approved, and Wanbao's artist soon drew the card pattern of "Nine Sons of the Dragon", and Wanbao's screenwriter set the effects and attributes of these nine monster cards.

Take the card [Dragon Six: Boom] as an example.

According to legend, Bi Xi is a turtle-like animal with teeth and likes to bear weight. Therefore, the "defense power" everyone has set for him is particularly high.

And this card also has a special effect, that is, when there is only [Dragon Six: Bixi] on the field, Bixi's defense will increase according to the number of "Dragon Cards" in the graveyard.

In addition to "Dragon Born Nine Sons".

The Chinese classic "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is also the key target of this group of sullen men. Almost all the strange beasts mentioned in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" are turned into Yu-Gi-Oh monster cards by them.

What kind of fish, Qiongqi, Feiyi, Tengu, Kunpeng, Gu Diao, Nine-Tailed Fox, Rotary Turtle, etc...

A copy of "Shan Hai Jing" was in the hands of Wan Bao's group of sullen men, and it was a hit. All kinds of weird "monster cards" appeared one after another, leaving Gu Miao speechless.

Do not misunderstand!
Doesn't he think this is bad, after all, monster cards are all designed monsters anyway, so it's okay to design according to "Shan Hai Jing".

He just thought of a question.

Chinese people may not be able to pronounce and write names like Bixi and Yazi, so how can they be translated into foreign languages?How do foreigners remember cards?
Isn't this embarrassing!
Could Yazi be translated into Canthus angular?Well!This doesn't seem to work either!
"Why do you want to accommodate foreigners?"

For this issue, everyone behind the scenes has different views.

Their idea is simple, "Yu-Gi-Oh" itself is a card battle game.In this way of playing, the most important thing is not the "name" of this card, but the "attributes" and "effects" of this card.

simply put.

You only need to know the attack power and defense value of this monster card, and the effect of the card surface.

As for the name of this card...

If you can't remember it, you can't remember it!Anyway, it doesn't affect the battle. Could it be that you can't remember the card name, so you can't summon monsters?
Isn't that pure nonsense!
From this perspective, the names of these strange beasts from "Shan Hai Jing" really don't matter, as long as they are powerful.

Think boldly.

Assuming that a certain "Shan Hai Jing" Alien card is particularly effective and popular, and it can be regarded as a commonly used card in the game, then the players will definitely learn the pronunciation and writing of the "Exotic Beast" name spontaneously.

Does this count as cultural export?

"Makes sense."

Gu Miao was persuaded by them. Since they felt that names like Bixi and Yazi would not affect the normal game, it didn't matter.

But he also has a request.

That is, if there are particularly uncommon words, try to add pinyin notes in the "Effect Description" column at the bottom of the card.

This is also a small detail.

The ages and educational levels of the players vary from high to low.Not everyone can recognize those rare characters, adding pinyin will be much more convenient.

……

When Gu Miao went to Neon to lead the team building of the staff, the animation "Legend of Seven Swords" was also on the Shonan Children's Channel.

The plot came to episode 16.

In the previous episodes, Swordmaster Changhong, Swordmaster Yuhua and Swordmaster Bingpo all appeared on stage, namely Xiaoling, Doctor Dou and Sister Xiaoyu.

It was also at this time that the audience had a question.

The three divine swords that have appeared, including the three sword masters, are actually inextricably linked to the "previous sword masters".

Needless to say, the protagonist Xiaoling is the son of Li Changfeng, the previous Changhong sword master.

Miracle doctor Dou is the descendant of Medicine King Valley, the apprentice of the previous sword master Yuhua, sister Xiaoyu is the previous master of ice soul sword, and the nephew of Xiaoling's mother.

For a long time, everyone has a background?

Are the seven divine swords passed down from father to son and from generation to generation?

That's disgusting too!

People in the rivers and lakes, court princes, and demon giants are desperately fighting for the magic weapon. If it is really this kind of "blood lineage inheritance" system, then what is everyone fighting for?
Just when everyone was wondering whether the next Excalibur sword master would also be a child or apprentice of the previous sword master, Ben Lei Jian appeared in this world.

This generation of Benlei sword masters has nothing to do with the previous generation of Benlei sword masters, and his age is also far from Xiaoling Xiaoyu and others.

This generation of Ben Lei Sword Master is named Qian Kun.Ben was the shopkeeper of a restaurant in Jiangning City, with both sons and daughters.

Unexpectedly, the son worshiped the magic gate, and in order to learn the magical skills, he actually revealed to the master the secret that his father possessed the "Ben Lei Sword".

There's also a bit of foreplay here.

Qian Kun noticed that his son's intentions were not right, and he didn't want to teach him martial arts, fearing that he would cause trouble, and only hoped that his son and daughter could spend their lives in peace.

Unexpectedly, the son became jealous because of this, ran away from home to join the magic door, and revealed the secret that his father had hidden for many years.

This is just great.

When the Benlei Sword was born, the imperial army and demons swarmed in.Qian Kun tried his best, but failed to protect his wife and daughter, and finally his wife and daughter died tragically before his eyes.

On a rainy night, Qian Kun, who was holding his daughter's body, burst into tears.

Facing the three thousand cavalry sent by King Wuwei, Qian Kun, who hadn't drawn his sword for more than ten years, resolutely violated his promise to his wife and pulled out the Benlei sword.

On this day, the sword master Benlei, who had washed his hands in the golden basin for more than ten years, re-entered the rivers and lakes because his wife and daughter were killed!
One person with one sword, facing three thousand cavalry!

　Does anyone know how to translate words like Bixi and Yazi?
