MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 49 Embarrassing black video
Chapter 49 Embarrassing black video
Aspect ratio is very important.
Most of the old TVs in the past have square "big butts". In order to adapt to this screen size, there is also a 4:3 aspect ratio.
The same goes for animation production.
Viewers who like to watch old animations generally know that once the early animation works are played using the "player", there will be obvious "black borders", which prevents the picture from filling the screen.
Why is this?
Of course it is because of the aspect ratio of 4:3, which is a bit "shorter" than 16:9.
With the development of the times, widescreen LCD TVs are becoming more and more popular. Not to mention foreign countries, there are already many TV stations in China, which have changed their standard and SD channels from 4:3 to 16:9.
Obviously, 16:9 is the future.
At this time, Jiangchuan Children’s Channel changed its name to Red Crane Cartoon, and also changed its logo by the way, but still wanted to stick to the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Gu Miao was really drunk.
It’s not that the 4:3 aspect ratio is not suitable for animation, nor is it that this aspect ratio is not good.
It’s just that times have changed!
Big **** TV has withdrawn from the stage of history, which means that the 4:3 aspect ratio has come to an end.
As an animation producer, Gu Miao naturally wanted to follow the trend of the times and produce the first original animation in China produced in 16:9 high-definition.
But the animation has been made, there must be a TV station to broadcast it!
Although 16:9 can also be converted into 4:3 through cropping, compression, etc., the broadcast effect is definitely not as good as the original 16:9.
So he wanted to persuade Director Wang to take advantage of the opportunity of changing the name of Jiangchuan Children's Channel to change the channel screen ratio from 4:3 to 16:9, and enable high-definition broadcast control equipment by the way.
pity…
Xiao Wang is just a small deputy director. For such a big matter, he has to ask the director for instructions before giving an answer.
Gu Miao didn't insist on this.
It’s best if you can change it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t. Anyway, 4:3 animation has been done for so many years, and it’s okay to stick to it for a few more years.
…
The time came to the end of November.
After 20 days of broadcasting, the animation "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line" finally ushered in the final reversal of the plot.
"Obviously I am the strongest..."
"elder brother!"
When Ling Yun couldn't accept it, he was obviously the hero who won the team competition, but he was still not as popular as his brother, so he decided to leave the "Lei Sudeng" club to prove himself.
New original characters have appeared.
The "genius remote control driver" Louis from the other side of the ocean accidentally met Ling Yun who had just had a big fight with his brother and was depressed.
"Do you want to beat your brother?"
"Try this..."
After learning about Ling Yun's troubles, Louis gave him a mysterious "motor" and told him that as long as the Ralink was equipped with this motor, he could defeat his brother.
After Ling Yun did as he did, he really defeated Ling Feng in the following match, and he was ashamed...
Louis is an original character of the production team. He is a member of the "Extreme Racing" organization. The so-called extreme racing refers to taking the risk of scrapping the car to win the race at all costs.
The motor he gave Ling Yun is called "Extreme Motor".
After using the limit motor, the car can briefly break the limit and enter the so-called "overclocking" state. But the price of overclocking is that the car will suffer irreversible damage.
After Ling Yun got the extreme motor, he gradually forgot the original intention of "racing". He only wanted to win the race, and he didn't care about the damage to the car at all.
Until the last final match, Ralink was seriously damaged and fell before the finish line...
This plot was originally quite normal.
I don't know which clever ghost turned Louis' head into "Gu Miao's" head, and after modifying the dubbing lines, edited and spliced it into a video.
Good guy.
The audience froze in Bengbu in an instant.
In the video, Ling Yun practiced his racing stunts hard. Every time he made a little progress, he couldn't wait to challenge his brother Ling Feng, but he failed repeatedly.
At this moment…
he came! he came!
The hot man is holding a "golden glitter" extreme motor, and in the BGM that debuted, he is walking towards Lingyun!
"Don't want 998, don't want 888, the brand-new Raiden extreme motor is vomiting blood today, only 98, and the champion will take home!"
"I buy, I buy!"
Bewitched by Uncle Sanshui, Ling Yun spent a huge sum of money to buy an extreme motor. He thought he would reach the pinnacle of his life, punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten.
I don't know!
Uncle Sanshui actually sells "fake and shoddy" products, causing him to lose his car and money.
At the end of the video, everyone’s good friend Ling Feng appeared on the stage, solemnly admonishing: "When you encounter problems, think deeply, and don’t be fooled by profiteers! Save money for ten years, and play with cars for nothing..."
Slander!
This is pure slander!
Gu Miao, who was holding a meeting with Ma Kui and others at the company, saw this video and her lungs exploded.
"Awkward, right?"
"Extreme Motor, we haven't confirmed the price yet! Who said this thing only sells for 98 yuan?" Gu Miao said indignantly.
Ma Kui: "..."
Is price the point?
Feeling vaguely that Mr. Gu didn't grasp the point, Ma Kui coughed and reminded: "Then what... Mr. Gu, do you need to report the website and ask them to take this video off the shelves?"
"Report, must report!"
Gu Miao waved her hand and said, "Let the author of this video reflect on it. Such an excellent extreme motor only sells for 98 yuan. Who does he think of me?"
Video is just a small thing.
Although this video is quite popular at Station B, with over a million views, to be honest, it has little impact on the ratings of the animation "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line" and the sales of peripheral toys.
This is not to buy a mobile phone, but to go online and read KOL's "Qiafan Review".
Of the children who bought toy remote control cars, how many of them were bored and went to watch this kind of video online? Taking a step back, so what if you read it?
Should buy or will buy.
Compared to this kind of embarrassing little video, what Gu Miao really cares about is the upcoming Golden Sparrow Award Ceremony and the year-end awards season.
Gold Bird Award, needless to say.
The best TV animation award has basically been locked in "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". Maybe there was a bit of suspense before, but when the official media collectively praised "Pleasant Goat is famous overseas", everything was settled.
The key is other awards.
In addition to the Golden Bird Award, there are many other awards at the end of the year! Among these awards, it shouldn't be a problem for Pleasant Goat to win a Grand Slam, but a TV animation "Little Grand Slam", right?
Gu Miao has a dream.
When he was still a TV drama director, he was interviewed by the media once, and a reporter asked: "Why do other directors have a series of award-winning records in their resumes, but you only have seven words 'famous TV drama director'?"
TMD, broken defense.
The trophy that you can't get for filming vulgar TV series, this time, Gu Miao will use animation to get it back.
