my animation era

Although he was very reluctant, Gu Miao let Ma Kui join the production team of "Super Cool Cat" because Ma Kui was so active, as the real assistant director.

He cooperated with Director Wang, and the two of them took care of the rest, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

What if something went wrong?
There's no need to worry, Gu Miao just took the time to do other things, and she didn't completely let go of this project. With him watching from the side, I believe there won't be any trouble.

not to mention……

With Gu Miao's efforts, the main frame and core storyboards of the animation "Super Cool Cat" have almost been completed.

In the rest of the work, there is nothing particularly noteworthy. Ma Kui and Director Wang are both veterans and will not easily make any low-level mistakes.

So, Gu Miao entrusted Kulemao to the two without any worries, while she pulled up another team and started working on "Hell Girl".

"Can you make it?"

Lao Zhang was puzzled by Mr. Gu's single-minded approach, because in his opinion, there are only three months left, what kind of animation can be produced in three months?
"It's too late, don't worry!"

Gu Miao explained with a smile: ""Hell Girl" is an animation of the nature of a unit drama, and each episode is a separate story."

"And I didn't say that I would finish this animation within three months! Can't I just do the first season?"

The first season only has 26 episodes.

According to the standards of Neon Animation, this is a standard "Half-year Fan", just a half-year fan, three months is completely enough.

"That's good!"

After learning that the first season of this animation only had 26 episodes, Lao Zhang also heaved a sigh of relief.

This episode is fine.

Taking the 100-day production cycle as an example, the average total number of episodes is 26 episodes, which means it takes about four days to produce one episode.

Although there are still some embarrassments, it’s okay to think about it carefully. This production cycle is just a little bit faster than those weekly animations that are "broadcast while doing".

"Hell Girl" is special in nature.

Because it is a unit drama animation similar to Pleasant Goat and Bear Infested, there is no possibility of serialization of the plot, so Gu Miao needs to spend a lot of energy on writing the script.

The original was too long ago.

Gu Miao had already forgotten some of the details.

So at this time, he needs to call other screenwriters to discuss how to tell this story well.

By the way.

Although the background of the original story is Neon, many events in this animation are stories that do not respect national boundaries.

So Gu Miao didn't need it, just localized the main plot and changed the names and locations of some secondary background characters.

of course!

Gu Miao's so-called no need to change refers to those events that are relatively common in daily life, whether in neon or in China, the key is that they will not touch the red line.

For example, campus bullying, workplace bullying, broken friendship, etc...

If it was an event like the second episode of the original work that may touch the red line, then Gu Miao would have to modify it to avoid being invited to drink tea.

The episode of voyeurism, Gu Miao felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed it.

For localization, there must be events with local characteristics and events that can resonate with people.

"How about Porcelain?"

A screenwriter suddenly thought: "A kind and lovely girl, because she helped an old man who fell on the road, was framed as a murderer and fell into a predicament that no one can explain."

"Forehead……"

As soon as he said this, the temperature in the entire conference room dropped several degrees, and everyone seemed to think of that famous case.

"This is good, very distinctive!"

Unlike others, Gu Miao appreciated the idea put forward by the screenwriter, and felt that this was what he wanted, an event with local characteristics.

"Perfect it, I think it's a bit inappropriate to bump into people while walking."

"How about this, change it to a girl riding a bicycle to school, and found an old man who was knocked down by a car, kindly went to help, helped call an ambulance, but was framed."

Gu Miao became more and more enthusiastic as she continued, "All the classmates, teachers, and parents around her didn't believe her, and they all thought she was the murderer who hit someone with a bicycle, which made the girl feel resentful..."

Helping the elderly, this is too classic.

Using this as the plot of the second episode of the animation, Gu Miao thinks it is very suitable, and it is also very suitable for the national conditions, and can arouse the emotional resonance of countless audiences.

In addition to touching porcelain, what other events have more local characteristics?
Gu Miao thought about it seriously.

There are quite a lot of vicious incidents related to minors in China, which are probably school violence that parents and teachers ignore.

"Children are playing around!"

"No wound left..."

Many people think that only those violent incidents that hurt the body and cause personal injury can be called school violence.

actually not.

Psychological damage is damage too!

Often, some fights that do not leave wounds and are insignificant in the eyes of teachers and parents can cause psychological harm to children that is difficult to heal throughout their lives.

This is also what Gu Miao thinks needs to be reflected in the animation, to tell everyone a truth with a realistic plot:
Don't think that campus violence must cause physical damage, and psychological damage is also worthy of attention!

"Mr. Gu, are you repeating yourself?"

Some screenwriters questioned: "Isn't the plot of the first episode of the animation also a story in this aspect? Let's make another episode, isn't it similar to the story of the first episode?"

"No, it's not the same!"

Gu Miao thought about it seriously, and then gave an answer: "The first episode is about school bullying, and I'm talking about school violence. These are two different things with an essential difference."

School violence, often accompanied by vicious violence, mainly refers to school bullying related to physical bullying.

The means are also more direct.

If we talk about campus bullying, the bully will also put on a layer of "hypocrisy" for himself, and fabricate or fabricate a reason before bullying the victim.

The school violence is completely different. Seeing that you are not happy, then just roll up your sleeves and give you a violent beating, a proper vicious violence.

"but……"

After explaining the general difference between the two, Gu Miao explained: "Actually, there is no need to do two separate episodes. What I said is just a rough idea, and you don't have to do what I say."

There are too many events that can be done, and it is not necessary to smash the difference between the two.

In addition to touching porcelain, Gu Miao also thought of an event with local characteristics, which can also be said to be a special group - left-behind children.

This group, if they want to do it, can actually do an episode alone, and the effect is probably very explosive and tear-jerking.

But ideas are ideas.

The time is limited, and the number of episodes is also limited. It is impossible to cover all the events in the first season, otherwise, can the second and third seasons be done?
