Chapter 492 The Turtle's Strange Weapon (Subscribe)
A new day begins.

Ma Kui, one of Wanbao's top ten employees, got out of bed early, put on his clothes and went straight to the company without disturbing his sleeping wife.

Just have breakfast on the way.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and the animation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" project is not progressing smoothly. He, the person in charge, must lead by example.

It was seven past five in the morning.

Ma Kui parked the car and took the elevator to the production team office of the animation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the 11th floor of the headquarters.

"Morning, Mr. Ma!"

"morning!"

Reaching out to pat the animator with dark circles on the shoulder, Ma Kui stared at the computer screen with a serious expression.

Still sucks!

But this can't be blamed on everyone, because he knows that everyone doesn't understand such common weapons as double knives, nunchucks, long sticks and double forks.

What's the use of the information I found on the Internet by cramming temporarily?

If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it!

Even based on the existing film and television materials, the redesigned second version of the fighting action still looks awkward and dramatic.

"Or not……"

Shaking his head, Ma Kui didn't say anything, but waved his hand to signal the sleepy animator that he could go back and take a rest.

Not just him.

These two days have been working overtime for the animation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to produce hard-working visual effects team, action team, rendering team and compositing team.

On the one hand, after many days of high-load work, everyone has already accumulated a lot of fatigue. Let them go back and rest for a day or two to recover their energy so that they can continue to work.

On the other hand, the problem of designing fighting moves for these ninja turtles cannot be solved by these people.

You have to find a professional.

Because weapons such as double knives, double forks, long sticks, and nunchucks are not common in life, many people have never even seen them.

Nunchucks and long sticks are better.

The former has Li Xiaolong's movies, and the latter is relatively popular, and there are also references for many fighting moves.

But two knives and two forks...

to be frank.

Ma Kui has grown up so big, and he has never seen anyone use these two unpopular weapons.If it weren't for the fact that the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comics came out earlier, he would have wanted to change them to "one-handed sword" and "one-handed sword".

It's a pity that it can't be changed.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was the first manga to come out, and then Wanbao purchased the copyright for an "animated" adaptation. There was a gap of nearly a year.

This also means.

The two weapons of double knives and double forks have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to change them at will.

"Who is this!"

Thinking of the answer from the original author of the comic, Ma Kui was a little dumbfounded.

According to the original author of the manga, the reason why he set the weapon like this is simpler: it's cool!Very cool!

yes cool...

But this also brought about a consequence, that is, in the comics, the fights that the protagonist can solve with two swipes, became Ma Kui's heart disease during the animation production.

Many people have a misunderstanding.

That is, for the "manga" animation, everyone thinks it is simple, it is too easy.Just follow the manga, and the manga will be like the animation.

But this is not the case.

To give a simple example, in the comic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", when the four protagonists teach the bad guys, they usually get it done with a few "swish, swipe, swipe".

The depiction method in the comics is nothing more than drawing a few "phantasy shadows" on the weapon, symbolizing that the swinging speed is very fast, and then it hits the head of the villain, and the villain falls down.

Sounds simple right?
Can it be animated?Could it be that animation also learns from manga, drawing a circle of "ghost shadow" around the weapon, and when the screen turns, the villain falls down?
When you think about it, it's impossible.

The distressed Ma Kui decided to ask Guo Hongwei for help.

Anyway, Xiao Guo has filmed a martial arts-themed animation, so he should know a little bit about the specific usage of weapons such as "double knives" and "double forks".

The result made him regretful.

Xiao Guo?

A proper martial arts idiot!
He doesn't know much more than Ma Kui.He is also unfamiliar with the two weapons of double knives and double forks.

……

"That's it."

There was no other way but to report the situation to Mr. Gu's Ma Kui, who spread his hands with a very bitter expression.

"I understand……"

Gu Miao, who was instructing the original artist to restore the images of the first-generation rabbit and bald man based on his memory, touched his chin and asked, "You can't find the reference for the fighting movements of double knives and double forks?"

"Yes."

"Isn't that easy?"

Gu Miao smiled and said, "Since even you don't know the specific usage of double knives and double forks, do you think the audience will understand?"

Marqui's eyes widened.

Seeing that he seemed to understand what she said, Gu Miao immediately nodded and said, "You don't understand, I don't understand, and the audience doesn't understand either."

"OK! Problem solved!"

"Since everyone doesn't understand, then don't play cards according to the routine, and do whatever you want to be handsome! Anyway, fighting moves, smooth and handsome are enough."

"Makes sense..."

Mr. Gu's words opened the door to a new world for Ma Kui.At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had slipped into a dead end without knowing it.

He doesn't understand double knives and double forks.

But what does it matter?Could it be that if you don't understand, you can't design fighting moves for it?
As long as it's handsome and smooth, and makes the audience enjoy watching, isn't that enough!As for whether the design of these fighting moves is in line with common sense, who cares?

As long as the audience is ignorant and can't see the loopholes, what does it matter if they use the nunchuck as a "whip"?

"I understand."

Ma Kui, who had let go of his worries, finally smiled and said, "By the way, Mr. Gu, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your opinion."

The villain of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

In the background of the story, besides fighting evil ninjas and aliens, the cute and charming turtles also shoulder the important task of "guarding the tranquility of the city" and fighting criminals.

Those criminals are all vicious, big villains with guns and cannons...

In North America, it is actually normal for these villains to appear in the context of guns.But the problem is that today's tortoise has moved to Jiangchuan.

Can Jiang Chuan do the same?
"Change it!"

Gu Miao said indifferently: "Hot weapons should appear as little as possible, and more villains like biochemical weirdos and evil ninjas will do."

to be honest.

The tortoises are very strong, but there is a limit to how strong they are.

Fighting against hot weapons, to be honest, it's a bit too embarrassing for the turtles.Their opponents should still be all kinds of cold weapons, even evil monsters who like to "punch".

"Well! It can also be like this..."

In the middle of her speech, Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to Ma Kui: "Since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are turtles, the turtle shells have to be used."

Under normal circumstances, hot weapons cannot be blocked.

But what if it's a turtle shell?
That's the mutated turtle shell of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, blocking bullets or something, shouldn't be a big problem, right?
