MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 14 seven hungry wolves
Chapter 14 Seven Hungry Wolves
Jealousy is human nature.
Seeing the horrifying ratings of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", and such a rough production yet so popular, who wouldn't be envious?
I can't control things like following the trend.
After all, the monk can touch it, but I can't? Which law stipulates that animations with a similar style can only be done by Gu Shuishui, and no one else can?
"Princess Cat and Prince Mouse" is just the beginning. According to the information obtained by Gu Miao, several animation companies in the industry have come up with related plans, and they are planning to use Pleasant Goat's wind to make a wave of bad money.
The entire northwest of Shanxi is in chaos!
Regarding this, Gu Miao expressed her calmness.
Follow the trend, just follow the trend, not only does he not oppose it, he even strongly supports it! Only after experiencing it personally, these companies will understand the hardships of the road of "original IP".
How can it be so easy?
Instead of paying attention to these follow-up actions destined to be tragic, it is better to seriously consider how to advance the main plot of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"...
Pleasant Goat has been on the air for more than a month.
Although there are a lot of episodes, more than 100 episodes, Neon, which is put into 12 episodes as a new season, can already be called "Two Years".
But the main thread didn’t advance at all!
In these more than 100 episodes, Big Big Wolf didn’t have any extra branching plots, except that Big Big Wolf came up with various ways to catch sheep, and then suffered successive failures. To put it bluntly, it has been circulating the story line of the first episode.
One trick, eat all over the world!
Although it is not impossible to do this, it cannot be without novelty. In order to maintain the children's enthusiasm for chasing dramas, it is time to promote the main line.
What is the main line?
Of course it’s a new character, a new character plot!
Two days ago, Big Big Wolf's cousin made his debut for the first time, and was unanimously loved by the children. After discussion and research, the production team unanimously decided to add more new characters.
Mostly wolves.
no way…
The number of sheep characters in the play is obviously more than that of wolves, which makes the children curious: "There are so many sheep in Yangcun, why are they still afraid of two wolves, Big Big Wolf and Red Big Wolf?"
In order to answer the doubts of the children and create an atmosphere of "there are many wolf people", some new wolf characters must be added.
Cousin Wolf, Ye Tailang from the "Seven Hungry Wolves", has already appeared.
The next ones to appear on the stage are the remaining wolves among the seven hungry wolves, that is, the relatives and friends of Big Big Wolf.
Uncle, white-eyed wolf!
Er Bo, wizard wolf!
Second uncle, gray second wife wolf!
Third Uncle, Boxing Wolf!
Elder uncle and second uncle, two-sword wolf and two-fork wolf!
Eldest nephew, Banana Wolf...
Don’t ask the stupid question why there are eight of the seven hungry wolves, just like the four heavenly kings have five, isn’t this common sense?
"The order of appearance has been arranged."
Gu Miao glanced at the original drawing of the seven hungry wolves, and instructed Ma Kui, the content director of Wolf Castle and the animation assistant director of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
“Release a new character every 10-20 episodes. Doing so can greatly increase children’s enthusiasm for watching animation.”
"In addition to the wolves, we can also add some aboriginal characters on the Qingqing grassland! For example, Bian Zuilun, who just appeared not long ago, I think the popularity is not low..."
Although the protagonists are sheep and wolves, there are still many dazzling supporting roles on the green grassland.
Master Baobao will not talk about it.
The three elder brothers in the prairie consisting of hippopotamus, buffalo and wild boar, Taige, who likes to exercise, and Bianzuilun, a heartthrob in the prairie, are all charming supporting roles.
But Gu Miao's favorite is the two clouds in the sky, which are "Brother Wuyun" and "Sister Baiyun" in the play.
Precisely…
He only likes Sister Baiyun!
What the hell, a cloud can look so pretty, so Gu Miao wondered for a while, whether some kind of hobby in her has awakened, and she actually fell in love with a cloud?
Leaving aside the strange aesthetics.
These colorful supporting roles with different personalities are also one of the attractions of the animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
Mainly because he is too good at playing tricks.
The animals on the green prairie are simply carrying the endless evil fun of original motivation. Needless to say who is the prototype of Bianzuilun?
Master Baobao is Bao Zheng!
Is Brother Tyson a distant relative? Is there any connection between the Frog Prince and a foreign fairy tale? Which two people are the white clouds and black soil referring to?
I didn’t know why when I was young.
When I think of these names when I grow up, my expression freezes instantly.
have to admire...
The original driving force is really good at playing!
In addition to adding new characters and enriching the background ecology of Qingqing Grassland, there is actually another branch line about the main plot of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
The relationship between Big Gray Wolf and Red Wolf!
In the play, Red Wolf was disappointed with Big Big Wolf more than once, and even went back to his natal family, thinking about divorce.
This is also part of the main line.
About this plot, Gu Miao thinks it can be modified to make the conflict between the two more violent, which will also add a touch of emotion to the subsequent "reunion after a broken mirror".
At the same time, it can also depict the essence of Red Wolf's "knife mouth and bean curd heart" from the side, laying the groundwork for the subsequent forgiveness of Big Big Wolf, and even the transformation into a "loving mother" image after giving birth to Xiao Huihui.
Gu Miao always felt that.
"Gray-red couple" is an important part of the emotional line in the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", which was not well reflected in the original version.
Do not misunderstand!
Big Big Wolf is very affectionate after marriage, and the plot is also very rich. He is talking about the plot of the two before marriage, which has not been well played.
There are only a few memories.
Where appeared, they were all big movies. It was only in the later period of the TV animation that this part was made up, and even focused on portraying the segment of "Death of the Black Wolf", which moved countless people to tears.
Then the question is, why did you go in the early stage?
Except for the infinite loop of wolf catching sheep, the main line has not been promoted much in the early stage. Now that we can do it all over again, why not lay down the "foreshadowing" in advance and wait for the big movie and sequel to be recycled?
This aspect is not difficult.
Try a word or two in the story, the preparations for Big Gray Wolf and Red Wolf's marriage, including some details of their love period.
In this way, children will be curious.
Big Big Wolf doesn't look good, although he is of the blood of the wolf king, he has no outstanding advantages. How can he marry the dream goddess of 900 million wolf youths?
When the sequel or big movie is released, the misunderstanding caused by seeing that bowl of "egg fried rice", these long-standing doubts, will instantly turn into the basis for box office sales.
Understand the applause!
Faced with a series of questions raised by the animators, Gu Miao, who had the original animation for reference, answered them lightly.
After the meeting.
He wanted to go home, tidy up the messy rental house, and find a new place to live, but suddenly received a call from Mr. Du, the owner of Wanzhibao Toy Factory.
