My Animation Era

Undeniable.

"Go Boy" can be regarded as the enlightenment animation for many people. It has made many little kids who knew nothing about Go become interested in this chess game.

The same was true for Gu Miao when he was a child. At that time, he didn't know Go. When he saw the black and white chess pieces, he at most thought of backgammon.

It's a bit funny to say...

Because of the animation "Go Boy", he changed the channel midway and saw it, so at first glance, he really thought the characters in the show were playing backgammon.

The Wanbao version of the "Go Boy" animation has the same effect and has become the inspiration for countless children to play Go.

The good news is that after this round of enlightenment movement, countless children have since developed an interest in playing and learning Go.

Because of this, the animation "Go Boy" has also received a lot of official support and praise. After all, it can be regarded as revitalizing traditional culture!

But there is also bad news...

That is the "Unity of Heaven and Earth" in "Go Boy" that has taught many people bad things.

This formula does not exist in reality. It is purely a special symbol of "the luck of chess is the luck of the country" invented by the animation production team, so just take a look at this thing.

However, the children cannot distinguish what is fiction and what is reality. After watching the animation, they are convinced that "the unity of heaven and earth" must exist, and if they learn this trick, they will be invincible.

So they began to dig into the details of the "Go Boy" animation, trying to decipher the secret of the unity of heaven and earth.

The result is naturally nothing.

It can't be said that there was no gain, at least they still saw something, such as Xiao Ke's special way of starting.

But this is not the unity of heaven and earth!

"The unity of heaven and earth is not so much a set pattern of Go as it is a concept conveyed by the animation "Go Boy"."

Gu Miao explained: "It is more symbolic than practical. There is no need to study this reality, because no matter how you study it, you will only come to one conclusion, that is, the unity of heaven and earth only exists in fantasy."

Facing the reporter's interview, Gu Miao strongly suggested that everyone should not focus on the so-called unity of heaven and earth, but instead learn from Jiang Liuer's fighting spirit of perseverance and courage.

"You can defeat all opponents by learning one set, which does not exist in the game of Go."

That's what he wanted to say.

There is no absolutely invincible way to play, even if it is AI Go, it just chooses one of the options with the highest winning rate.

Therefore, the most valuable thing for everyone to learn from the animation "Go Boy" is never the fixed formulas or chess records, but Jiang Liuer's heart of constant self-improvement.

External things are just clouds after all.

If there is no unity between heaven and earth, wouldn't Jiang Liu'er be able to become the great chess master of the Ming Dynasty?

impossible!

The reason why a strong person is strong never relies on external objects, but a strong inner will.

…

Following a shocking battle, Fusang Chess Master was defeated by the young Jiang Liuer.

At the end of the story, the fate of the characters such as King Fu, King of Demon Swords, and the Emperor was not explained, but it ended with a sentence from Jiang Liuer when he fell into a trap.

"I won!"

Along with this sentence, there are also bits and pieces of the past when Jiang Liu'er got along with his father Jiang Lingyun, his mentor the old beggar, Master Yuande, the Demon Sword King and others.

The strongest is nothing but memory killing.

"The young Go boy has gone through hardships, tasted all the suffering in the world, and survived the long night..."

"Lilian! Lilian! The chess game is deep and bottomless, the heart is big and boundless, Lilian! Lilian! Seek the right path and abandon evil thoughts, there are no boundaries in the black and white game..."

The familiar theme song sounded, and with the collapse of Fuso Chess Master, the chess game that had been played all day and night finally ended at dawn.

The story of the first season of the animation "Go Boy" has also come to an end, ending its first round of broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel.

The ending came somewhat suddenly.

When many viewers saw that the story suddenly ended here, without even revealing whether King Fu was punished by the court in the end, they all showed shocked expressions.

Why did it end?

Where is King Fu? No more revenge?

The audience felt that this ending seemed to explain something, but did not explain anything at all, and they were confused.

Fortunately, there are many masters who are good at interpreting plots and gave a reasonable analysis and dissection after watching the ending.

This is an open ending!

Whether it's King Fu or the case of interrogation, it all depends on the emperor's will. As a chess player, Jiang Liu'er can only do so much.

He will win this game.

As for what will happen after the game is over, that is not something he, the chess player, can decide.

There are two possibilities...

Jiang Liuer won this game, and the imperial court also had the idea of ​​overthrowing King Fu. After that, the emperor would definitely target King Fu and even thoroughly investigate the Japanese case, and clear the name of Demon Sword King.

The bad ending is that Prince Fu is too powerful, and the court will be unable to do anything about him for a while. The emperor's promise may be true, but there is no telling when it will be fulfilled.

So Jiang Liu'er is the next old beggar. Because he has seen through everything and has nothing to do against King Fu, he lives in anonymity for the rest of his life...

The animation plot stops at the moment when the chess game ends, and the ending is all in the audience's mind.

If you think it's a good ending, then it's a good ending. If you think it's a bad ending, then it can be a bad ending. Anyway, Gu Miao can't stand up to refute it. He supports both guesses.

"I think it's a bad ending."

"Although King Fu is regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the court, as long as he doesn't raise a flag to rebel, I don't think he will be punished too much."

Huang Kun touched his chin and thought: "He is just a chess master. It sounds nice, but he has no real power. How can he bring down a feudal king?"

"Who said that? The emperor's attitude is very clear. He cannot tolerate Prince Fu's wanton behavior. Maybe it will end well!" Hou Bin retorted.

"Okay, okay."

Gu Miao waved her hands repeatedly and said, "What's there to argue about? Have you never seen an open ending?"

He called the two here not to listen to their quarrel, but to let Hou Bin and Huang Kun serve as consultants to make suggestions for the "Mobile Suit Gundam" project.

By the way, I would like to ask Hou Bin if he is interested in this project.

As the top producer of Wanbao Animation, Gu Miao, who was selecting a director for the "Mobile Suit Gundam" project, quickly set his sights on Hou Bin.

"I?"

Pointing at himself, Hou Bin frowned and said, "I don't have time! I'm still busy with the Pleasant Goat Year of the Dog movie at the end of the year."

When the lot was drawn, he caught the dog and was assigned the task of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", a big zodiac movie for the Year of the Dog.

It just so happens that next year is the Year of the Dog again!

During this time, he has been busy working on the Year of the Dog zodiac movie. It is almost the end of the year. How can he have time and energy to work on new projects?

Not to mention Huang Kun.

After the first season of "Wandering in the Animated World" ended, the company immediately started the production of the second season, and the director did not change, it was still Huang Kun.

"A great movie in the Year of the Dog..."

Gu Miao frowned and said, "I forgot about it even if you didn't tell me. How are you preparing? Are you sure you can surpass this year's "Golden Rooster"?"

"Not sure!"

Hou Bin smiled bitterly and said: "The Golden Rooster is among the top three in the entire zodiac series at the box office."

Xiao Guo did it too hard.

A golden rooster crowing directly brought the Chinese Zodiac series back to its peak after many years of silence, which made Hou Bin and others feel even more pressure.

Coupled with the popularity of "Guardians of Sheep Village", next year's Year of the Dog movie can be said to be full of buffs and stand at the forefront of public opinion.

"Stabilize the basics!"

"I don't dare to think about breaking box office records. As long as we can maintain our capital and keep our reputation intact, it will be considered a great success." Hou Bin said modestly.

This is what he really means.

The Year of the Dog is already the sixth movie in the Pleasant Goat Zodiac series of movies, from the earliest "Snake Comes Around" to the latest "Golden Rooster".

The five previously released movies, with the exception of "The Year of the Monkey", generally have a good reputation, and the box office is also higher each one.

But no matter what, there have been so many movies in the Zodiac series, and the audience has become tired of it.

So the further you get to the back, the greater the pressure on the production team.

Because everyone has watched so many zodiac movies, their vision has become much higher than at the beginning, and it is much more difficult to conquer the audience.

Don’t make mistakes and win!

Don’t have any fantasies about soaring to the sky, with each one becoming more powerful than the other.

The fact before Hou Bin is that if he can continue the popularity of "The Golden Rooster" and ensure that his reputation does not decline, then he has done his best.

As for Gundam?

Mr. Gu should hire another Gao Ming!

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Guo later to see if he's interested." Gu Miao sighed, "If he doesn't have time, then I'll have to do it myself."

This was different from what he thought.

Gu Miao's work arrangement for the second half of this year is more about taking charge of the overall situation and no longer participating in front-line animation production matters.

He likes Gundam very much, but the body design and the realistic weapon-style robot animation are really not his areas of expertise.

Industry specializing in surgery!

Every animator has their own areas of expertise and areas that they are not good at. Not everyone can perform well across themes and fields.

If possible, Gu Miao would still like to find a director for "Mobile Suit Gundam" who fits the "realistic weapons style".

But if he can't find a suitable candidate, and Gundam is a work that "can't be given up", Gu Miao can only bite the bullet.

…

The completion of "Go Boy" and Son-in-law Fairy King have plunged the animation market into a sluggish state.

However, this situation did not last long, because a few days later, Wanbao officials released the latest news about the "Superman" animated remake.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the whole world.

This sentence is not an exaggeration at all, because the influence of the "Superman" IP can definitely cover every corner of the world.

[After 23 years, Superman animation returns again! 】

[The latest news is that the animated remake of "Superman" is officially scheduled to be broadcast in November. Is this your childhood memory? 】

[What changes are there in the new version of Superman? A quick tour of the new version of Superman in three minutes...]

As expected, the news that Superman animation is scheduled to be aired swept the world like a hurricane, causing countless animation fans to cheer.

Marketing accounts and self-media bloggers have also picked up the popularity of Superman, and their various gimmicky analyzes and speculations have earned enough eyeballs and views.

This kind of battle can be called the first time in Wanbao's history.

This is the first time that an animation has gained such attention and popularity before it was even aired.

This is the first time that an animation has become popular all over the world before it has even been aired and it is not yet certain whether it will be released in multiple languages.

All I can say is that he is indeed a superman!

The name Superman determines his extraordinary nature, and this is also the first animated work in the Superman series after 23 years. The expectations of fans can be imagined.

certainly!

Fans are looking forward to it, but not everyone will go see Superman animation.

This phenomenon is especially common abroad, especially among viewers who wear tinted glasses, like to engage in racial discrimination, and believe that "Superman" has been tarnished.

"Don't pay attention to this kind of person."

Gu Miao said nonchalantly: "Generally, the louder the people who shout, the faster they will slide to their knees. Do you believe that this will be the same people who shout "really sweet"?

"I believe!"

Dave laughed on the phone: "I have never worried about this. What I worry about is that the Superman animation will return after 23 years. Will it be a little acclimatized?"

23 years!

How many 23 years can a person have in his life? The youngest people who watched the old animation 23 years ago are now 30 years old.

This is a very serious problem.

Although the IP of "Superman" is still very popular and famous, and is known to the whole world, after all, it has been so long that the age gap of fans has appeared.

The new generation of children, especially those born after 2000, have no special feelings for Superman. Can they really fall in love with this heroic character?

"Don't worry."

"Superman's charm will not fade with the passage of time!"

Gu Miao comforted: "As long as children still have the most innocent heroic dream in their hearts, Superman will never be outdated."

Childhood hero dream!

This is a common pursuit that transcends national borders, cultural identities, language and geographical barriers.

Every child, especially boys, who hasn’t had a heroic dream in childhood? Who doesn't want to be a great hero?

As long as this kind of heroic dream still exists, there will be opportunities for heroic characters to shine. This is also the main reason why heroic-themed animation films and TV series have endured for a long time.

To put it harshly.

Tokusatsu dramas such as Ultraman and Kamen Rider are still alive and getting better and better every year, which shows that it is difficult for "heroic characters" to be eliminated by the times.

The same goes for Superman.

As long as people admire heroes and aspire to be heroes, there will be a place for "Superman" to survive, and the charm of the character will not diminish at all.

certainly!

This is also limited to Superman.

Although there are so many superhero characters in American comics, there is only one character that can truly reach this level and have widespread influence around the world: Superman.

for example.

As a superhero, at least Batman cannot do this in some areas. This is the unique IP value of "Superman".

It’s time to harvest the millet. I wonder if everyone has eaten this year’s new rice?
