Chapter 455 Gu Miao's Weaknesses (Subscribe)
In animation works, there is a bad behavior called "whip the old opponent".

It's not just anime.

This kind of behavior is more common in live-action film and television dramas, especially those with a lot of fighting scenes.

Well, the problem is coming.

Why do you do that?

On the one hand, it is to provide a reference and give the audience a standard to measure the combat power of the protagonist and supporting characters.On the other hand, this is also to retain the old audience.

It's not hard to understand...

People are nostalgic, watching their favorite anime works slowly become unfamiliar, and familiar faces disappearing from the screen one by one, it is inevitable that some people will think: "It seems that watching is not as good as before?"

Take a simple example.

Suppose one day, you have been chasing animation works for three seasons, four seasons, five seasons or even longer, and suddenly updated the latest season.As a result, not only did the protagonist change this season, but the story also took place in another parallel world.

What do you feel when you look at it?
No matter how good and outstanding this season is, as an old viewer, I am afraid that I will feel regretful in my heart, lamenting that my youth has passed away, right?

To be honest, the frequency of changing protagonists in "Yu-Gi-Oh" is quite fast.

From DM's Muto Game, to GX's Yucheng Judai, to 5D's Fudo Yusei, and later Zexal's 99 Yuma...

Every time a new generation comes out, it will be accompanied by new protagonists and supporting roles.

I have to admit that the later protagonists are actually quite good.Especially as the second generation of Yucheng Tenth Generation, it has not lost the prestige of the previous generation of protagonist games.

But I still can't stand it anymore, some people miss the games of the past, the former president of Haima...

Oh yes!

Yu You, Haima, Bekas and others actually also appeared in the second season of "Yu-Gi-Oh GX", but the roles are too small to be commendable.

Gu Miao didn't want to repeatedly whip the corpses to enhance the presence of the supporting characters.In fact, he also resented this kind of behavior.

What he wants to do is not whip corpses.

Instead, give these "marginalized" supporting actors more roles in the scene and design more side plots.

Try to make the images of these supporting roles plump and three-dimensional, instead of being marginalized by facial makeup...

It's actually quite simple.

Take President Haima as an example. In fact, the original book has a side plot about him, and the length is not short.It can be said that in order to shape this character image, Takahashi and Nozomi did put a lot of effort into it.

But it's a pity...

Many side plots in the original manga failed to appear in the animated version.Even the produced side plots have been greatly reduced compared to the original manga.

What Gu Miao wants to do is to delete the original animation, or add as much content as possible to the original comics that were not made at all.

Uh, by the way!
The animated version of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is adapted and produced by Toei Animation, that is, Dong Dama, which everyone is familiar with. In fact, the plot is quite different from the original manga.

This is nothing new.

The "adaptation" works in the animation circle are basically of this kind, and it is impossible to completely follow the original work, and can only be produced according to the ideas of the supervisor/director.

Therefore, if two animation directors with different styles are used to shoot the same original manga, the final film will be very different.

Gu Miao knew it very well.

The animation of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is in his hands, and it is impossible to make it exactly the same as Toei's original version.After all, what he copied was only the "outline of the novel", not the "finished article".

……

afternoon.

Gu Miao accompanied his wife to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. On the way home, he received a call from Lao Zhang.

On the phone, Lao Zhang told him with great excitement that the animation "The Story of Avanti" produced by Puppet Studio had won many awards issued by the Huaguo Television Art Association.

This is the first "national level" official award since "The Story of Avanti" was aired.

"Okay, okay, it's open!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Miao shook her fist excitedly.

He seems to have expected that for a long time after that, the animation "Avanti's Story" won the award and got soft.

The awards issued by the Vision Association are of average gold content.

But no matter how ordinary it is, it is also a national award, and others can't get it if they want to.What's more, the Visual Association Award is just the beginning.

Don't forget.

It's only May, and it's not even the year-end awards season yet!With the arrival of the two awards seasons in autumn and winter, the animation "The Story of Avanti" will definitely have a lot to do.

"I want to order a big display cabinet in advance, don't get the trophy and certificate when the time comes, it will be embarrassing if there is no place to put it."

"You can pull it down."

Jiang Keke, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but pouted when he heard the words, "Compared to having nowhere to put the trophies and certificates, I think it's obviously more embarrassing for you to make a big display cabinet and it's empty in the end."

"nonsense!"

Gu Miao said confidently: "How could it be empty? Are you a vegetarian in "The Story of Avanti"?"

"Let me tell you, this animation is very popular with those old antiques, and it will definitely win an award and get soft."

"But……"

Jiang Keke stared ahead, unmoved, and said, "No matter how good the filming of "The Story of Avanti" is, no matter how many awards it wins, it is also the honor of Liang Xiaodong and Puppet Studio. Does it have anything to do with you?"

Gu Miao's smile froze.

Although my wife's words are harsh, it is an indisputable fact.

No matter how many honors "The Story of Avanti" won, it could not be assigned to him, the "investor".He may be proud of this, but he really can't be cheeky and attribute Liang Xiaodong's honor to himself.

"Honey, when can you win an award? For example, the best animation director?"

"Uh...it depends."

Gu Miao lost her voice, not knowing how to answer this question.

In the past few years, he has made a lot of TV animation works, and even made an animated film, and the box office has broken through 5 million to create the best record in history.

In terms of performance, it can be said that there is no one in the country.

He can completely say that he is the No.1 of domestic commercial animation!No one has achieved better results than him.

But he also has "short boards"!
Obviously, Gu Miao, who has just debuted and whose works are clearly commercialized, lacks a lot in terms of personal honor.

so far.

In his encyclopedia information, the introduction to him is still one sentence: "Founder of Wanbao Animation, president of Huaguo Animation Industry Association, well-known animation director and producer, with outstanding achievements in his works!"

and then?
Gone!

The founder of Tangtang Wanbao, Jiang Chuan Gu Sanshui, who was overwhelmed by the whole industry with "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", ended up with a simple sentence "well-known animation director" in the introduction.

It's really hard!

If he had won a few more awards, the column about his personal "achievement honor" in the encyclopedia introduction would not look so thin.
