My Animation Era

In the plot of the anime "Digimon", the evolution of Digimon requires a prop.

Divine plan!

Also known as "Digimon Machine".

This is a bridge used to communicate between Digimon and the chosen child, allowing Digimon to communicate verbally with humans.

Of course, this is only part of the functionality.

In addition to the above functions, the Digimon Machine also has magical functions such as displaying the location of companions, connecting digital components, and opening the door to the digital world.

The most important function must be to help those Digimon evolve through different stages such as maturity, complete form, and ultimate form.

Not all Digimon need to rely on Digimon to evolve, but Digimon such as Agumon and Gabumon who bind human protagonists are relatively special.

But that's not the point...

Gu Miao has no control over how other Digimon evolve. Anyway, the evolution of these selected children and their partner Digimon must use the Digimon Machine.

How to use it is the key!

There are multiple versions of the Digimon machine. The earliest version actually looked like an electronic alarm clock.

The original evolution shot is actually the screen of this Digimon machine glowing, projecting light to illuminate the Digimon.

There are digital symbols all around.

The Digimon spins twice in the light, and then its evolution is completed!

To be honest, it's quite trendy...

However, this trend may have looked more handsome and cool at the beginning of the century. After all, how could children at that time have ever seen such a cool "evolution" scene?

But what era are we in now!

Today's children cannot be said to be well-informed. At least they have seen many major animation scenes through the Internet.

This needs to be changed.

If it were not changed, it might not be as exciting as the original animation. When the evolutionary BGM sounds, the children's blood will instantly boil.

You might even get complained: "That's it? That's it? XX's three-year animation series is more passionate than yours..."

This kind of thing is a big deal!

Taking into account the new era and new background, animation production also needs to "advance with the times" and cannot copy the same old methods.

Therefore, Gu Miao asked the animation production team to design a set of famous evolutionary scenes that meet the needs of the new era and can ignite children's enthusiasm before the Spring Festival holiday.

at the same time.

The Digimon machine also needs to be redesigned, so it can't be a crappy electronic alarm clock.

Do you think this is the year 2000?

Stop making trouble, bro, all those born after 00 are in junior high school! Smartphones and smartwatches are so popular, wouldn’t you make people laugh at you for the rest of your life?

"The design should have an artistic feel. I need that feeling that looks very high-tech at first glance, you know?"

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

The painter nodded bitterly, feeling like he wanted to take a knife and give this guy in front of him a sharp knife in the head who liked to push around and point fingers.

proceed if you can?

Still artistic? A sense of technology?

If I had this talent, why would I want to hang out with you? Didn't you jump ship and join those consumer electronics companies long ago and become the chief designer?

The painter was full of curses.

But complaining is complaining, he still doesn't want to lose this job. Since Mr. Gu has made a request, he can only try his best to design a "Digimon Machine" that he thinks meets the needs.

"It's okay, I feel a little bit better."

Gu Miao held the second version of the Digimon machine design line draft, touched her chin and nodded, saying: "But it's not that bad yet, let's take it back and change it!"

Third edition, fourth edition...

It was revised five times, and it wasn't until the sixth version of the Digimon machine design line draft was released that Gu Miao said with satisfaction that this was it.

…

"Okay, okay!"

Based on the sixth version of the Digimon machine design line draft, Gu Miao personally supervised and produced the latest version of the "Digimon Evolution" process.

The new Digimon machine looks like a "Tamagoko".

However, the screen is larger, and except for a "hidden" power button, there are no physical buttons visible on the entire Digimon machine.

Someone may ask.

There are no buttons, so how do you operate this thing?

Sir, times have changed!

The new era of Digimon machines is of course a touch screen. In what age are we now, why are we still watching traditional Digimon?

Digimon machines are usually worn in the form of "digital watches" on the wrists of protagonists such as Taichi and Yamato.

When it’s time to evolve…

Digimon suddenly lit up with colorful lights, and at the same time, an image of a "Q version" Digimon appeared on the screen.

Take Agumon's evolution as an example.

Taichi's Digimon machine glowed, and when he saw the light, Taichi turned his head and looked at Agumon beside him.

"Taiyi, I'm ready!"

After saying this, Agumon turned into a beam of light and merged into the Digimon machine, turning into the Q version of Agumon on the screen.

At the same time, the Digimon Machine broke away from Taichi's wrist and flew into the sky, shining brightly, and raised a pillar of light in mid-air.

In the beam of light, the Q version of Agumon flew out of the screen, evolving in size and appearance at a growth rate "visible to the naked eye."

During this process, the audience can clearly see how Agumon's head "hardens" and grows horns, and its claws and tail will slowly become longer and sharper.

The light beam disappears.

Agumon, which had completed its evolution, fell to the ground with a roar, and completely transformed into "Greymon" before everyone's eyes.

This is a completely new evolutionary process.

Compared with the original version, it is difficult to evaluate which one is better. But one thing is certain, that is, in terms of "bells and whistles", the Wanbao version beats the original version.

As for whether this is good or bad?

If you were an adult, that would probably be a bad thing. After all, there is no point in being so fancy, so why not waste time and just start fighting?

But from the perspective of a child, the evolutionary process of burning funds is quite good.

"That's it."

Gu Miao, who was very satisfied with the effect of this version of evolution, immediately made the decision to take a vacation for everyone.

It’s already the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

It was supposed to be a holiday on the 25th, but because of the evolution of Digimon, it was postponed for another two days. If we don’t take a holiday, I’m afraid everyone will have an opinion.

Gu Miao didn't want to embarrass others.

If the matter of "Digimon evolution" wasn't so important, he would have given everyone a holiday.

Of course, it's not too late.

Most of the people in the production team of the animation "Digimon" bought houses and settled down in Jiangchuan, and only a few people needed to return to their hometowns in other places.

Gu Miao also compensated these people, including using connections to help them book air tickets, giving them a large number of new year gifts, and extra bonuses, etc.

Gu Miao has human touch.

There was just one thing that puzzled him. With Wanbao Animation's famous "high salary" treatment in the industry, there were still employees who couldn't afford a house?

How to retain talents?
