My Animation Era

"You do not understand……"

"There are many versions of Guan Yu's beard. Not to mention foreign countries, in our country alone, there are seven or eight descriptions of Guan Yu's appearance spread among the people."

So this is ah?

Gu Miao nodded as if she understood, and then asked: "Since everyone insists on their own opinions and no one can convince anyone, then just do it according to the original description of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!"

Everyone: "..."

Hearing Mr. Gu's words, everyone who had been so noisy all turned red in the face and rolled their eyes.

Follow the original description?

The body is nine feet long and the beard is two feet long, right? Mr. Gu really doesn’t know how terrible the beard would be with such a scale?

A half-meter-long beard, is that an image that ordinary people can control? If you really follow the original description, then your beard won’t be allowed to extend to the top of your thighs?

"When making animations, you have to take into account the aesthetics of an image. You can't just restore for the sake of restoration, but you also have to consider the coordination and beauty of the overall character image."

Ma Kui explained: "With such a long beard, it may look very domineering and majestic when viewed alone, but standing with other characters, it would be very abrupt and uncoordinated."

That's right.

Gu Miao nodded in agreement.

After all, the original work can only be used as a reference, and the animation cannot be completely based on the original work. After all, the original work is a romance novel with pure text description.

Animation requires more consideration of visual effects, and the conversion between text and images cannot simply be restored, but more factors must be considered.

"Then have you discussed any plan? Don't tell me, you just held a meeting here for a long time and did nothing but drink tea?"

"of course not!"

Ma Kui shook his head in denial and said: "One of our tentative plans is to make some modifications based on the description in the original work."

First, the beard gets shorter.

The beard that extends to the thighs is really outrageous, and it is almost as far as the abdomen.

Next is the shape of the beard. Some subtle adjustments should be made to make Guan Erye's beard look as elegant and beautiful as possible.

"That's okay too!"

"Now that we have a plan, let's do it! Why bother arguing?" Gu Miao said angrily, "It takes half a month to make five minutes of material, and "Tom and Jerry" is not as procrastinating as you."

"This is not procrastination, this is seriousness."

"Besides, we haven't been idle in the past half month. We are all studying and reading the original work of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."

At this point, Ma Kui raised his eyebrows and said: "Not only did we read books, we also hired professional literary consultants to explain "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to us chapter by chapter."

Good guy!

Is this a company or a university?

Gu Miao also didn't expect that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation production team would actually give a class on the appreciation of literary classics.

After the animation is finished, Ma Kui and Koizumi and the others are not allowed to apply for a graduate degree at the university and write a research paper on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

I’m really convinced!

Too lazy to pay attention to these obsessed guys, and after telling them to stop fussing with useless things and do more business, Gu Miao left to find Mr. Qiu.

Wanbao Animation, Konjac Studio.

Mr. Qiu and his team are celebrating that the ratings of "Bugs Bunny" have exceeded 8 points, and the office is filled with laughter.

When Gu Miao came in, she almost thought she had entered some nightclub.

The lights, the music, and the atmosphere, those who knew it were celebrating the success of the work, but those who didn’t know it thought it was a non-mainstream village gathering!

"The scene is too small."

Gu Miao took a glass of wine, shook her head and said: "In two days, when the ratings of "Bugs Bunny" are confirmed to have exceeded 10 points, I will book a hotel to celebrate."

"Then you can order now."

Mr. Qiu said cheerfully: "According to the estimates of the Shonan Children's Channel, either tonight or tomorrow night, the highest ratings of the animated "Bugs Bunny" will exceed 10 points."

"Yo! So fast?"

"What time is the average ratings? Is it five points?" Gu Miao asked curiously.

"Six to two!"

Mr. Qiu chuckled and said, ""Bugs Bunny" has only been aired for three episodes and the ratings have been so high. Didn't you expect that, Mr. Gu?"

Really didn't expect that.

Gu Miao originally thought that the average ratings of "Bugs Bunny" at this moment would only be around 5 points, but she didn't expect that it would reach 6 points after only three episodes.

According to this trend, it is really not a dream for the average ratings to exceed ten points.

certainly!

The premise for achieving this is that the animation ratings increase steadily, and there cannot be a situation where the ratings surge today but will not increase tomorrow.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu!"

"Bugs Bunny has a good reputation! And its influence continues to spread. More and more viewers, even those who don't like to watch animation, have heard about this animation."

Mr. Qiu said proudly: "In terms of the circle-breaking effect, this animation is even stronger than "Crayon Shin-chan"."

That's for sure!

Although the animation "Crayon Shin-chan" is said to be suitable for all ages, to be honest, middle-aged and elderly people really can't stand it.

But "Bugs Bunny" is different.

Bugs Bunny is truly suitable for all ages, without any exaggeration. Anyone from ninety-nine to ninety-nine to just learning to walk will feel happy watching this animation.

Because of this, Bugs Bunny definitely has a wider audience reach than Crayon Shin-chan.

If an animation like this achieves a breakthrough in influence, it will definitely attract the attention of a large number of viewers and provide a huge increase in ratings.

This is not a 1+1 arithmetic problem.

Breaking the circle of influence does not mean that one viewer leads another viewer to watch the "Bugs Bunny" cartoon, but that one viewer leads N viewers.

The principle is, it’s the same as giving Q coins to Brother Ma on his birthday.

Do you think that the spread of this kind of news is that one user shares it with another user, and then spreads one by one?

In fact, a user posts in the KouKou space or KouKou group, and then shares it with a group of users, and the diffusion speed increases exponentially.

Even if only a dozen people among the group of people who received the sharing from friends were interested, and then remembered the broadcast time of "Bugs Bunny" and planned to take a look after get off work and school, that's not a small number.

"correct!"

When it comes to the circle-breaking effect, we have to talk about word-of-mouth. Gu Miao asked curiously: "You just said that Bugs Bunny has a good reputation. How good is it specifically?"

"How to describe it?"

Mr. Qiu scratched his head and explained with some words: "A simple rating may not mean anything! Let me put it this way, among the viewers who have watched it, only one out of a hundred people may give a negative review, or even none at all. .”

So outrageous?

A negative review rate of 1%, or even less than 1%, is this really not a dream?

You wouldn’t even dare to write a novel like this!

But when she thought it was "Bugs Bunny", Gu Miao immediately calmed down. As an animation of the same caliber as "Tom and Jerry", there seems to be nothing wrong with the rave reviews.

Thinking about it from another angle, it is appropriate to give good reviews, but those who give negative reviews are abnormal, right?

Happy Children's Day to all the adults and children! (I hope Children’s Day will not become Valentine’s Day...)
