My Animation Era

"Very hilarious animation!"

After listening to Director Wang's narration, Gu Miao had a preliminary impression of this film.

Busy, chaotic!

It really deserves the title of "The Year of the Monkey". Judging from the plot, aren't these monkeys "extremely happy"?

can only say……

The image of the monkeys created in this movie is very consistent with Gu Miao's understanding of these "bandits".

Isn't this what the monkey in his impression looks like? They snatch fruit snacks from tourists, and even throw fruit cores at people... The behavior is just as noisy as in the movie.

certainly!

This is an animation that focuses on comedy. The addition of many funny clips in the film will also make people laugh to their stomachs.

"The movie is very suitable for the Spring Festival. It is suitable for the whole family to go to the cinema together and experience this lively and funny atmosphere."

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "But the shortcoming is also obvious, that is, the movie is too popcorn, and there is no need to watch it again and again."

This is the truth!

The movie "Happy Year of the Monkey" has the advantage of being a popcorn for family fun, but the disadvantage is that the popcorn has little nutritional value and can only be watched for fun without in-depth study.

But it's not a big problem.

Gu Miao knew Director Wang fairly well and knew the upper limit of his abilities, so that was about it.

If you have to ask him to make an animated movie like "The Lion King", then he can't do it. He is at the platinum and diamond level. If you ask him to play the king game, isn't that deliberately making things difficult for others?

The popcorn is pretty good too.

If this movie was scheduled to be released during the summer vacation or some other time, Gu Miao would probably think it was average.

But if it is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, it will be different...

During the Spring Festival holiday, this film, which originally only had a passing score of 60 points, was able to perform at a level of 80 or even 90 points with the blessing of the atmosphere!

No need to doubt.

For a movie like "The Year of the Monkey" during the Spring Festival, the box office bonus is terrifying.

Changing the schedule will not have this effect. After all, during the Spring Festival, everyone's mood will be different from usual, and they will prefer movies with this kind of "joyful and noisy" atmosphere.

Director Wang captured the code of wealth.

Gu Miao has nothing to say about this film. Although Director Wang has limited talent, he has indeed grasped the market trend and knows what the audience likes and wants to see.

Typical old fritters!

For guys like Hou Bin and Guo Hongwei, Gu Miao can still point out what they didn't do well enough, but for an old man like Director Wang, he really has nothing to say.

…

After visiting the production team of the movie "The Year of the Monkey", Gu Miao asked Director Wang a question.

"Do you think this movie will be a milestone for the Pleasant Goat Zodiac series, or a turning point from prosperity to decline?"

"Turning point!"

Director Wang's answer was very straightforward. He was not afraid of angering Mr. Gu and analyzed objectively: "The Pleasant Goat Chinese Zodiac Movie is all about TV fans."

"Even TV animations are not very good now. Many old fans have grown up and begun to face life. The decline of the movie series is inevitable."

Gu Miao: "..."

This was said so bluntly that he didn't even know how to answer it.

To be fair, what Director Wang said is reasonable. The Pleasant Goat Zodiac series was originally based on TV animation, and it also eats "fans".

If even TV animation is no longer good, then the Chinese Zodiac Movie will definitely be unable to survive on its own, and its decline is an inevitable outcome.

"I see."

Gu Miao nodded, patted Director Wang on the shoulder and said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the Pleasant Goat will not die so soon, and I will not just watch it die. The Chinese Zodiac Movie will continue to be filmed. .”

This is his solemn promise to the vast number of Pleasant Goat fans, and it is also his unwillingness to complete the original Chinese Zodiac.

No matter what, he will complete the twelve zodiac signs, even if no one sees it...

Speaking of which, we have to mention the fifth season of the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" TV animation.

After the fourth season of the TV series "Wonderful Pleasant Goat" produced by Konjac Studio, a subsidiary of Wanbao Animation and formerly Konjac Animation, was broadcast, discussions about the fifth season of the TV series have been ongoing.

But it's a pity.

The fact that Emperor Xihui's vitality and blood were declining and he was entering his old age was before his eyes. No one dared to stand up and say that they could save Emperor Xihui and help him live out his third life.

That's right, the third life!

"Pleasant Goat" is still a very popular and good season. Its brand-new style of painting and fresh and refined story have won praise from many viewers, and it is also recognized as "living the second life".

But the second life was too short.

After a brief "resurrection", with the conclusion of "Pleasant Goat", Konjac Animation disintegrated and immediately fell into silence.

Nowadays, "Bear Bears" has emerged as a star. With constant rebroadcasts, it has become a hit on major TV stations and children's channels.

What about Pleasant Goat?

Even if he survives his second life by relying on the immortality medicine "Konjak", will he not be able to escape the end of his death in the end?

Gu Miao doesn't believe in fate, nor does he believe that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" will sink like this. The temporary silence is just for a better explosion in the future!

Regarding the fifth season of TV, he also has his own considerations.

First of all, let’s make it clear that the original fifth season of “Come on Happy” is actually pretty good, not as bad as imagined.

However, the subsequent seasons of animations such as "Sports League" and "Happy Formula" were very average and even uninteresting.

So Gu Miao is thinking...

How about doing a "martial arts fusion" in the fifth season, combining "Come on for Happiness" and "Lazy Sheep Becomes a Chef", and skip the middle seasons of the original version?

Why is Lazy Yangyang the chef?

This problem is easy to understand. Although this season of "Lazy Sheep Becomes a Chef" has some problems, it is still very popular among the target audience, that is, children.

And this season, the playback volume on major online platforms is also very good.

So it’s okay to jump here.

As for how to integrate the two seasons into one work, let’s refer to the original "Odd World Battle" special episode!

First of all, make it clear that the fifth season is called "Come on for Happiness".

Then it contains three special chapters, namely "The Story of Lazy Yangyang", "The Story of Little Huihui Going to School" and "Lazy Yangyang Becomes a Chef".

The episode is a bit streamlined.

It is best if the three special episodes are added together, and the total number of episodes should not exceed 100.

Although it can be made into 200 episodes, it is too long, and it is difficult for the TV station to arrange the schedule, and rebroadcasting is also troublesome.

After all, times have changed.

In the past, there were few TV programs, and even fewer children's cartoons, so hundreds of episodes of cartoons were common.

Nowadays, the competition is so fierce, and children’s cartoon TV programs are also very popular. If there are hundreds of episodes of animation, which TV station will be willing to broadcast it?

I’ve watched Cheers for Happiness, but I haven’t watched the subsequent Major League and Formula games at all…
