Chapter 782 Another Pleasant Goat? (Please Subscribe)
The production of the animation "The Adventures of Uncle Long" has entered the most critical period.
The first season has 26 episodes in total!
Although the number of episodes is not large, it is not comparable to animations like "Bear Bear" and "Crayon Shin-chan" that often have hundreds of episodes, but the production cycle is completely different.
Give a simple example.
For animations such as "Bear Bears", the process of setting up scenes and character modeling in the early stage is a waste of time. Later, the work is done faster and faster. In extreme cases, it can even be done two episodes a day.
For animations like "The Adventures of Uncle Long", each episode is almost a brand new scene and story, with very few repetitive parts, and there is no possibility of the production cycle getting "faster and faster".
On the contrary, it is getting slower and slower!
Take the "Chinese Kung Fu" used by Uncle Long himself in the animation as an example. In order to sample action data, Gu Miao even invited Uncle Long himself to the production team and asked him to demonstrate the tips of each action live to the animators. and key.
This is a waste of time.
If possible, Gu Miao doesn't want to be so cumbersome and time-consuming, but there is no way. Uncle Long's kung fu and skills are also a major highlight of the animation. If this is not done well, the entire animation will collapse.
besides.
Regarding the ending of each episode of the animation, Gu Miao also has a special idea, that is, having Uncle Long himself be the "interview".
As one of the protagonists of the animation, Xiaoyu will act as a reporter. At the end of each animation episode, he will ask various weird questions on behalf of the audience, and then Uncle Long himself will answer them.
The sources of these problems are complex.
Some questions are more serious, such as why is there an animation called "The Adventures of Uncle Long"? The setting source of the twelve zodiac talismans, Uncle Long’s favorite character...
And some questions are more complicated.
"If Uncle Long gets the Rat Talisman, can he resurrect the Terracotta Warriors and Horses? Please, this is really important to me!"
"If I have the rabbit charm, won't I have to take the bus to work every day? And I won't have to drive when traveling?"
"If the Dog Talisman is dedicated to Qin Shihuang, what will the map of Qin look like?"
have to say.
The Easter egg design at the end of the film is very clever, and Uncle Long himself was very interested in hearing it.
With his full cooperation, the recording of the question-and-answer egg at the end went very smoothly, but just as it was about to end, Uncle Long suddenly thought of an idea.
"Can you add a scene where I have a fight with Chen Long in the animation, like this..."
Uncle Long made some gestures, indicating that he wanted to fight the animated version of himself, and cut this scene into the beginning or end of the film.
Do the two Uncle Longs interact?
Gu Miao thought about it and suddenly felt that this idea was great. The animated version of Uncle Long and the real version of Uncle Long were fighting each other with fists and kicks. The real version of Uncle Long suddenly turned into Xiaoyu or Dad...
Then, Uncle Long covered his face.
This scene is quite interesting. Although it cannot be added to the main film, it is quite interesting to use it as a small Easter egg at the beginning or at the end of the film.
By the way.
The original animation title of "The Adventures of Jackie Chan" actually has a similar plot design, such as the most classic Uncle Long running, suddenly changing from the live-action version to the animated version, or from the animated version to the live-action version.
However, the original version more reflects the setting that the animated Uncle Long and the real-life Uncle Long are "the same person".
The animation version and the live-action version of the two uncles appear in the same frame, and then fight each other. This has not been done in the original version, and it is worth trying.
…
In just one week since its release, the global box office of the movie "The Lion King" has exceeded US$500 million, and its North American box office has also exceeded US$200 million.
Its astonishing box office performance set off a frenzy of discussion around the world.
And at home.
Although the "Lion King" movie is also very popular, if you really want to talk about the dominant animation work, it has to be "Bear Bears" broadcast on TV.
Xiong Daxiong II, Bald Qiang...
These three animated characters have been accompanied by controversy since their birth, but the ratings of the animations have gotten better and better and more outrageous, until everyone can't understand them at all.
The first round of broadcast on TV platforms achieved very good results, which can also be attributed to Gu Miao's "high-quality" effect.
But in the second round of reruns, why are the ratings still about the same as when they first aired?
Is there no attenuation?
For a normal animation, if the rerun is more popular than the first broadcast, it must be because the first broadcast did not drain the viewership potential. But the ratings for the rerun and the first broadcast are almost the same, with a decline of less than 5%. So why?
Is the audience very sticky? Don’t you get tired of watching it?
People in the industry who really couldn't explain this phenomenon suddenly found that their many years of experience in the industry were invalid when judging the animation "Bear Bears".
You could say it's a super-phenomenal screen-dominating animation like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", but it's not. At least it's not as exaggerated as Pleasant Goat...
You might say that it is just an ordinary hit animation like "Digimon" or "Prince of Tennis", but it is not either.
So what level is it?
People are really curious about the animation "Bear Bears".
And this curiosity also drove them to gradually put aside their prejudices and watch the "Bear Bears" animation with a serious and critical attitude.
This is incredible.
No wonder so many children are obsessed with the "Bear Bears" cartoon like a demon! This thing is really poisonous. After watching one episode, I want to watch the next one, and I feel like I can't stop.
"Magic!"
"I recommend watching it without thinking. At least it will be more enjoyable and make you laugh..."
The originally one-sided negative reviews have finally improved, and many viewers who originally rejected "Bear Bears" have gradually changed their views.
In the words of a netizen:
If you watch this animation with critical thoughts, then "Bear Bears" must be full of faults, and you will feel unhappy no matter how you watch it.
But if you don't think about what's available for the moment and just pass the time, then the advantages of "Bear Infested" are obvious.
The light-hearted and funny plot will definitely make you laugh out loud and make you like Xiong Da Xiong Er and Bald Qiang...
This evaluation is very appropriate!
It is precisely because of its relevance that it struck a chord with many people, so some viewers began to abandon their prejudices and gradually fell in love with "Bear Bears".
This also led to the fact that the "Bear Bears" animation, which originally had extremely high ratings for the reruns and was almost the same as the first broadcast, gradually made new breakthroughs.
3.47%!
3.81%!
4.22%……
With the steady growth in ratings, the miracle of "reruns being more popular than the first broadcast" that was previously thought to be impossible to repeat has actually happened.
The next Pleasant Goat?
At this moment, everyone in the industry was silent when they learned that the ratings of the second rerun of "Bear Bears" broke the first broadcast record and successfully replicated the miracle of "reruns becoming more popular than the first broadcast".
Isn't it?
Everyone struggled for almost five years and finally put Pleasant Goat in the coffin. As a result, Wanbao created another Pleasant Goat-level animation IP?
The Three-Body Problem TV series has been re-broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV, and I would like to give you a little comfort once again...
