my animation era

Gu Miao and Huang Kun chatted a lot.

After roughly finalizing the project plan, the two, who were about to convene a meeting with the management of the animation company with great interest, suddenly realized a very critical issue.

Who will shoot this animation?
Huang Kun, as the creator of the line drawing of the "Thunderbolt" character, is also the first person to think of this, and he definitely wants to make this animation.

And Gu Miao also likes the story of "The Adventures of Lolo" very much...

Embarrassed!
The two looked at each other, staring at each other's faces for a long time, both wanting the other to retreat, but unfortunately neither of them spoke.

"Mr. Gu!"

"Akun..."

As the atmosphere became more and more embarrassing, both of them couldn't help it, and said in unison: "Why don't you take a break first?"

After speaking, the atmosphere became more subtle.

Gu Miao was the first to lose her temper, pointing at Huang Kun and asked, "You just finished "Pigman 3", don't you feel tired now? Go back and rest, I'll give you a few days off!"

"No, no, I'm not tired."

"On the contrary, Mr. Gu, you are physically and mentally exhausted after finishing "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon". You should go home and rest." Huang Kun retorted.

"I don't care, I want to shoot!"

"I don't care, I want to!"

The two of them are just like children fighting against each other. They embrace you and look at each other, neither of them is willing to let go first.

They confronted each other for more than ten minutes. In the end, Huang Kun couldn't bear the pressure and raised the white flag first.

After all, you have to get paid!

Huang Kun said that for this project, there is no need for the two of them to argue, and they can cooperate completely.

Who said that an animation can only have one director/supervisor?Can't we set up two directors and share power and responsibility?
"Then I'm the chief director?"

"No, there is no chief director for this animation. You are the director, and I am also the director." Huang Kun explained.

"Then who is in charge of the production team?" Gu Miao wondered, "If I have a dispute with you over a certain matter, who will make the final decision?"

"Madam Boss!"

"I've already thought about it. The producer and producer will be given to the proprietress, and she will be the referee. This is fair!" Huang Kun added.

That's fine too...

Gu Miao was not interested in the so-called chief director's false name, he just wanted to direct "The Adventures of Lolo" himself.

In the same way, Huang Kun actually doesn't care about these things. He is also very interested in this animation and doesn't want to quit, so he proposed it.

Then it's decided!
Since neither of Gu Miao and Huang Kun wanted to quit, they simply cooperated and co-directed and produced the animation "The Adventures of Lolo".

"and many more!"

"The Adventures of Lolo is the final name?" Huang Kun asked.

"Uh! If nothing unexpected, this name should be used." Gu Miao asked with some doubts, "Why? Do you think this name is inappropriate?"

"Something is wrong..."

Huang Kun frowned and said: "The Adventures of Lolo, just looking at the name, others would think it is a fake sequel to "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon"!"

"Too."

Gu Miao nodded.

The name Lolo Adventures may not be a problem in normal times, but it just so happened that Wanbao just released an animation called "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon".

If these two animations are released, they may be mistaken for the same series of works.

Just like "Digimon", "Happy Baby" and "Pokémon" were often confused, people even speculated that Wanbao had a "Baby Series".

Because the names are so similar.

Ordinary viewers, passers-by who have never seen it, are easily confused, and even can't tell who is who.

And the naming method of XX Adventures, to be honest, has a kind of "old-fashioned" beauty, without the "secondary sense" and "cool feeling" unique to this type of animation.

What fruit treasure special attack, super beast armed, these names sound higher than XX Adventures...

Ever since, Huang Kun proposed to give this project a new name.

He discussed with Gu Miao, and finally decided to use transformable robots as a selling point, and named them the "Various Robot Beasts" series.

The Adventures of Lolo became the subtitle.

The so-called subtitles refer to titles such as "Sheep and Goat Games" and "Wonderful Ideas of Pleasant Goat". Before this subtitle, there is also the main title of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

The full name of the project is "The Adventures of Lolo", and since it is the first animation work in the series, it can also be referred to as "The Adventure of Robots 1" for short.

Now it's intuitive.

The first season of the Pigman series is called "Pigman: The Magic Pig", in which Pigman is the main title, and the Magic Pig is the subtitle.

This "combination of primary and secondary" naming method is quite common in the animation industry, especially for "series" works, I especially like to use this kind of title.

But then again...

Although during the discussion, it was decided to make "Various Robots" into an animation series, but to be honest, Gu Miao didn't think this series would be successful.

There is a high probability that this so-called Variety Robot series will never be mentioned again after the first season of The Adventures of Lolo is over.

Don't ask why!
The question is that even Gu Miao doesn't know how to make a sequel to a story like The Adventures of Lolo?Or a new work with the same background and world view setting?

[After Luoluo and Jingjing returned home, the world of machine warfare ushered in a new crisis. The locomotive clan and the beast clan encountered new powerful enemies at stake...

In times of crisis, the former kings of machine warfare Lolo and Jingjing return to the world of machine warfare without hesitation, lead the motorcycle clan and the beast clan again, defeat powerful enemies after going through untold hardships, and restore peace to the world of machine warfare again? 】

Or, simply let the characters from the world of machine warfare, such as Thunderbolt, Vanguard, Tyrannosaurus, and Tiger King, travel to the real world where Lolo and Jingjing are?

This is too much...

It's not that such a sequel plan is unfeasible, it's just that doing it like this would be a bit too child's play.

And Gu Miao also felt it.

It is difficult to achieve good results for "Mad Robot 2" or "Mad Robot 3" based on this template, let alone surpass the first season of "The Adventures of Lolo".

It is not difficult to make a series.

The difficult thing is how to ensure that each work in the series can maintain the same height as "The Adventures of Lolo"?

If this is not possible, then Gu Miao would rather refrigerate the "Various Robots" series than hastily launch a so-called sequel, ruining the good reputation established by the first season.

what?
Remake the first season, put old wine in new bottles, what kind of martial arts?

Stop it!Gu Miao is not short of creativity, why bother to do such a thankless thing?The way of martial arts, or the return of the king of war, is not his taste at all!
If he is really obsessed with this kind of subject matter, and wants to tap into the potential of "transformable robots", it's not impossible to make another "Transformers"!

To be honest, the Variety Robot is not as easy to remember as The Adventures of Lolo. It always remembers as a Variety Beast, a Transformer...
