my animation era

Chapter 733 Timon cameo (for subscription)

Facts have proved that the short board of Wanbao Animation, the animation soundtrack criticized by many people, has now become the most dazzling existence.

Master Cao has contributed a lot!
If it weren't for his joining and hard work for so many years, the theme songs and soundtracks of Wanbao-related animations would not have won the love of so many audiences.

The popularity of the animation music digital album of "Super Beast Armed Forces" can only be said to be accumulated over time. Although it is surprising, it is reasonable to think about it carefully.

"It's not necessary to divide it into a company."

"All the income generated by this digital album will be used as a bonus, and the tax will be paid by the financial verification and distributed according to the rank."

Gu Miao was very happy and decided to reward Master Cao and the soundtrack production team in recognition of their contributions to Wanbao Animation over the years.

I am ashamed to say...

Master Cao has been working in Wanbao for more than four years, and has been fulfilling the original promise and agreement. He only receives one yuan of salary every month.

Gu Miao mentioned many times that Master Cao's salary should be increased. After all, one yuan is too shabby, and people might think that Wanbao treats employees harshly if it spreads!
But Master Cao's attitude was very firm. He told Gu Miao that the reason why he accepted Wanbao's invitation back then was not money, but hope, the hope of a Huaguo animation going to the world.

"As long as you stick to your heart and don't forget what you said to me at the door of my house that year, I will be satisfied."

"I will never forget..."

Gu Miao was very moved in her heart, and quickly patted her chest to promise: "I will definitely do what I said."

Rush out of China and go to the world!
If we want to do it, we must be world-class, refuse to dominate the country, let Wanbao become a banner, and let the world know Huaguo Animation.

This is the promise that Gu Miao made four years ago when he took Ma Kui to visit Master Cao and Corporal Li Xian invited him to join Wanbao.

Now four years have passed...

It is getting closer and closer to achieving this goal.Taking the first step out of China, with the current scale of Wanbao Animation, it must have been done.

After all, it is No.1 in Asia!
As for the second step to the world, in fact, it will be soon. When the production of "The Lion King" is completed and the number of "Tom and Jerry" episodes increases, Wanbao will definitely become a world-renowned animation company.

Speaking of "The Lion King" movie, Gu Miao remembered something Du Hao told him on the phone...

A simple story outline for the film, also known as a drawing storyboard, has been drawn.And in this adaptation of "Hamlet," there was one question that stuck with the animation team.

The face shape of the anime character!
In terms of the selection of the face shape of the animated character, the animator chose to draw it according to the "lion" at the beginning, but everyone was not satisfied with the result.

why?
Because the characters lack a kind of "recognition", all lions and all animals look similar, and it is difficult for you to tell who is who.

just……

During that time, the animation production team was collecting folk songs in Egypt, and many people went to see the pyramids and the famous Sphinx.

So it was suggested.

Just like the sphinx, adopt "human face, lion body", which can improve the recognition of animated characters and make them unique.

"I think so!"

"It can even be extended, why not paint someone's face?" Gu Miao said on the phone.

"Whose face?"

"Mine, yours, his..."

Gu Miao explained: "Whose face is not important, what is important is to be recognizable, not to have a passerby's face on it."

"Scar, for example, is synonymous with fierceness and ambition. Then you can refer to some villain star faces with more fierce and gloomy appearance and more distinctive features."

"I understand."

Du Hao roughly understood what Mr. Gu meant, probably to find a real "reference person" and draw according to the face shape of this real person.

"Will there be a copyright issue with this?"

"I asked you to refer to it, but I didn't let you reproduce it as it is. It looks like it but not like it. What's the problem?"

Gu Miao said speechlessly: "Besides, it's enough to say something about this kind of thing in advance. No matter how you say it, it won't sue us for infringing the right of portrait, right?"

"If you are really afraid of accidents, then try to choose some reliable people, such as... me!"

"you?!"

Du Hao on the other end of the phone almost died laughing when he heard this, and couldn't help but complain, "Stop making trouble, Mr. Gu!"

"I admit that your face is very recognizable, but there is no character in the movie that suits your face shape! Don't tell me, you want the animator to look at your photo and imagine that this is Simba?"

Boil!
The animator probably couldn't figure out how to match this face, how dare he say that he belongs to Simba?

"Simba can't, what about Simba's father?"

"That's not OK!"

Du Hao politely refused: "Your face, I think only the proprietress in the world can see it pleasing to the eye."

"I do not care……"

Seeing the disillusionment, Gu Miao simply said, "Anyway, I must see my face in the movie, otherwise you will know the consequences."

"OK! OK!"

Du Hao really couldn't stand Gu Miao's coquettish attack, he bowed his head decisively and said, "Well, I'll tell the animator to draw Timon according to your photo and your face shape."

"Who is Timon?"

"Oh! A small meerkat who claims to be smart and unrestrained. It also has a partner named Peng Peng. Let's just follow Vice President Ma's drawing."

"Who is Peng Peng?"

"A warthog with tusks, Timon's trusty sidekick!"

Gu Miao: "..."

Dude, he's a meerkat and Marquis is a warthog?Are they still partners?What combination of cancerous villains?
OK, OK, OK!

Although it is not the desired Simba, or Simba's father, Gu Miao is already very satisfied that his "face shape" can be requisitioned by the production team and drawn into an animation character.

He actually loves cameos.

When he was still a drama director, he liked to guest-star in those "corpses" or supporting roles without lines.

Unfortunately, since entering the animation industry, most of the characters are virtual paper people, and he has lost this opportunity to guest star.

In fact, you can also...

The collection of face shapes in "The Lion King" gave Gu Miao great inspiration.

Who said he couldn't make a guest appearance as a virtual paper man?Facing his photo, asking the original artist to draw two characters of soldiers and passers-by, isn't this a kind of "guest appearance"?

"Good good!"

The more Gu Miao thought about it, the more excited she became.

He seemed to have seen how embarrassing it would be for the audience to accidentally discover that a villain soldier who was "knocked down" by the protagonist had Gu Sanshui's face on his face while watching the animation.

Stan Lee made a guest appearance all day long, and Marvel fans didn't have any complaints. He, Gu Miao, made a cameo appearance in his animation, so no one would dare to point him out, right?
