My Animation Era

Don't take fans of the original novel seriously.

For an animated adaptation, especially one like "The Wilderness," which is adapted from a super-popular online novel, fans of the original work are all over the Internet, and the number cannot be underestimated.

Offended all these people in one fell swoop?

Excuse me!

If fans of the original work are happy to watch it, they can put you on a pedestal, but if fans of the original work are unhappy or even disgusted by it, they can also scold the production team until they can’t hold their heads up.

A major change in the heroine's design from the original work is definitely considered a suicide attempt in the animation adaptation circle.

But then again...

The production team doesn’t seem to care much about the feelings of fans of the original work. The comment section was full of criticism, but the production team remained unmoved, not even an apology.

Pretend to be deaf and ignore it?

Gu Miao, who didn't understand what was going on in their minds, shook her head and expressed regret for the future of the animation "The Wilderness".

The original reputation was very average, but after the fermentation of this incident, it is estimated that the animation of "The Wilderness" is no longer a threat, and the subsequent playback volume will not be too high.

certainly!

Penguin said it didn't matter.

The Wilderness has been updated to episode 35, and there are only a few episodes left. So what if the playback volume has collapsed now? The total number of views for the first 30 episodes is 2 billion.

Throughout the summer vacation, looking at the new works released by major domestic animation companies, apart from "Hell Girl", which one can hold a steady lead, which animation has a higher number of views than "The Wilderness"?

there is none left!

Even the "Hell Girl" animation launched by Wanbao, because the total number of episodes is only 26, the total number of views is not much different from "The Wilderness".

Therefore, in a sense, "The Wilderness" is really not a failure. On the contrary, this animation made the producers money, it was an absolute success!

“Seeing my friends make money is more uncomfortable than losing money myself!”

Gu Miao, who didn't like other people's kindness, said sourly: "Why is this good show being staged now? It would be so cool if this happened right after the show started!"

Lao Zhang: "..."

This happened right after the show started? Wanbao is happy, but Penguin must be angry to death? The investment was so huge, but it was a hit right after it started airing?

"Instead of denigrating others, improve yourself!"

Lao Zhang kindly advised: "We always hope that something will happen to others, so it is better to master the basic skills and put some effort into making our own animation."

"Wrong!"

"It's much easier to slander others than to improve yourself. Domestic animations are worse anyway. Why stand up when you can lie down?"

just kidding!

Although Gu Miao said he wanted to lie down and show off, this was just a compliment. If he really wanted to show off his friend Shang, he would rather go home and take care of the children.

It is impossible to show off. As long as Wanbao has not become No. 1 in the world, Gu Miao will never stop moving forward.

after all……

He still has so many exciting and beautiful cartoons that he has yet to produce, which will bring joy to children!

Children need to take care of themselves.

It was with this belief that Gu Miao did not dare to relax for a moment. Not long after the animation "Hell Girl" was completed, she held a meeting to determine the new TV animation project for the second half of this year.

…

"I want to make a super martial arts fantasy adventure animation based on martial arts, but beyond martial arts, similar to fantasy, but not fantasy!"

At Wanbao Animation’s regular meeting in early August, Gu Miao gave an overview of his new project.

obviously!

Except for himself, no one present could understand such an abstract and mysterious statement.

Based on martial arts, transcending martial arts?

Does that count as martial arts?

Similar to fantasy, but not fantasy?

Can you speak human language?

Mr. Gu's riddle man's explanation was difficult for everyone to understand. He said a lot of nonsense, and in summary it was all nonsense.

"Ahem!"

Ma Kui, who was the first to understand the spirit of Mr. Gu's speech and who was also the best at figuring out the holy meaning, coughed and asked, "To put it simply, is it just a hodgepodge?"

"Roughly the same!"

Gu Miao did not refute, nodded and said: "It can be understood as a hodgepodge, or it can be understood as a Chinese fantasy, fairy tale-like work."

The background of the story is complex.

In ancient times, Nuwa, the mother of the earth, created various mythical beasts. Each of these mythical beasts has unique abilities to help humans solve various difficulties and make the world a better place.

In the beginning, humans and mythical beasts lived in harmony.

But the happy time is always short-lived. I don’t know how long it took, but a group of flying red scorpions held high the banner of the Heaven and Earth Alliance and invaded the Nangong City of the Jade Dragon Kingdom...

"Look, this is the tiger spirit!"

Gu Miao pointed to a flying tiger on the PPT and said to everyone: "This is another strange beast that is different from ordinary beasts, called the Divine Weapon Beast."

Needless to say about ordinary mythical beasts.

Apart from various strange abilities and the ability to talk to humans, these ordinary mythical beasts are not much different from common pets or wild beasts.

But the Divine Weapon Beast is different.

The Divine Weapon Beast has two forms, one is the normalized Divine Beast, and the other is the Divine Weapon form.

"A divine beast becomes a divine weapon?"

As the PPT pages turned, everyone saw the Sky Crystal Beast, which looked like a dragon and a unicorn, and the magic weapon Sky Crystal it turned into, a blue long sword.

This setting is very interesting.

Everyone has never thought that a mythical beast can actually become a magic weapon, that is, a variety of weapons. This idea is really great.

But just because the idea is great, doesn’t mean the project is perfect.

In fact, after Gu Miao outlined the general plot of "The Young Master", everyone present had a question: That's it?

This story is too cliche!

Not to mention comparing it with "Super Beast Arms", even "Dragon Fighter" and "Light Envoy" have more ups and downs in their plots to a certain extent.

Nangong Wentian, the eldest young master of Nangong City, one of the Four Cities, obtained a sky crystal beast that could transform into a divine weapon. He held a sky crystal sword to defeat powerful enemies along the way.

And his sister Nangong Wenya can purify and tame monsters and turn them back into kind-hearted monsters.

So the brother and sister joined hands and took a group of mythical beast companions to constantly go on adventures, meet new partners, and encounter new enemies, until they finally defeated the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance and rescued the Jade Dragon Kingdom...

Look at this plot!

To put it bluntly, the only commendable aspect of this plot is probably that Dongfang Tiexin, one of the protagonists, is actually the adopted daughter of the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance. This design is very interesting.

But the embarrassment is that the only highlight of the plot is that Dongfang Tiexin is not the biological daughter of the leader of the heaven and earth alliance. He only recognized the leader of the heaven and earth alliance as his father because he lost his memory.

"It's boring!"

A group of well-informed Wanbao executives said that the plot was not even half as good as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas shown at 8 o'clock, and it was drowsy to listen to.

That's it?

Is it necessary to hold a special meeting to discuss this kind of animation? In addition to the eye-catching setting of "divine beasts transforming into divine weapons", are there any other features?
