My Animation Era - Chapter 669
Chapter 669 Double standard bear? (Happy New Year)
At the end of October, the first season of the animation “The Prince of Tennis” was announced to be over, and the second round of rebroadcasts began on many TV stations.
at the same time.
For the animation “Super Beast Armed Forces”, Gu Miao, who has been jumping back and forth between the two production teams, is finally relieved.
Do not misunderstand!
These two animations, even the second season of the rabbit with the fastest progress, did not finish so quickly, let alone the slower progress of the Super Beast Armament.
Gu Miao’s so-called relief actually means that he doesn’t have to be a “tea pourer” and salutes all the officers every day.
Producer, honorary assistant director?
Shit no!
Tea pourer is a profession, anyone who likes to do it can do it! Anyway, the two animation projects are on the right track, and there won’t be any troubles without him.
If there is a problem?
That’s easy to handle, just call him, as long as it doesn’t disturb him to pay the public rations in the middle of the night, call at any other time.
After resigning as a tea servant, Gu Miao first accompanied Ke Ke back to her natal home and attended the wedding of a distant cousin of Ke Ke.
In the next few days, Gu Miao locked herself in her study, declined all social activities, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the script creation of the animation “Bear Infested”.
He wrote the TV animation script.
Originally, he, the boss, shouldn’t be allowed to do this thing himself. Wanbao has so many animation screenwriters, and he can just find two people to get it done.
But…
The project of “Bear Infested” is no less important than the original “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”, not to mention that this is the first season, so it can’t be careless.
And there’s a little more.
The reason why Gu Miao chose to do it himself, and would rather retreat in his own study than let the company’s screenwriter get involved, was mainly because he wanted to have a “plastic surgery” operation on the story of “Bear Infested”.
He was worried about entrusting this operation to others, fearing that it would destroy the “Second Emperor of Wanbao”, so he had to do it himself.
What is the specific content of the surgery?
Then it’s a long story, let’s not talk about the plot of the movie Bear Haunted, Gu Miao still has a lot of ideas about the TV plot.
The first is the character design.
The story of the animation “Bear Infested” takes place in a forest called Gou Xiong Ling, where a lumberjack and all kinds of animals live.
Aside from the various supporting roles, there are actually only three core protagonists of Bear Haunted.
Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Bald Qiang!
Among the three, in fact, all of them have problems with their character design. Especially the early “Bear Infested” TV animation, it really has a feeling of “ruining the three views”.
Take Xiong Da as an example.
Xiong Er is stupid, but Xiong Da is rational. This is the character setting and image created by the first version of “Bear Infested” animation.
And Xiong Da always looks plausible in the stories. When he taught Bald Qiang a lesson, what he said was just and awe-inspiring…
“To protect the forest, bears are responsible!”
“Baldhead Qiang, you cut down trees again? Hehe! Let’s see how we teach you a lesson!”
However, Xiong Da, who is so upright, also has a selfish double standard in his personality.
For example, when he learned that Xiong Er stole Bald Qiang’s things, his reaction was not to reprimand his younger brother and drag him to apologize to Bald Qiang, but he put his arms around Xiong Er’s shoulder and said, “Why didn’t you tell me before? “
“Let’s go together!”
It can be said that Xiong Da, a righteous character who loves to reason and stand up for others, in the screenwriter’s pen, the collapse of the character design is no longer a matter of once or twice.
As for Xiong Er?
Okay! The persona is so crooked and abstract that people call it a good guy.
At most, Xiong Da can’t help but favor and protect his younger brother when facing matters related to his younger brother, which makes him appear a bit selfish with double standards, which is usually quite reasonable.
But Xiong Er, that is completely the image of a “bear child” who is not familiar with the world.
伱 Reason with him?
hehe!
It’s strange that such a guy like a hob can explain the truth well.
Children only think that Xiong Er is cute, mischievous, and honest, but in the eyes of adults or mature-minded people, a brat like Xiong Er can really raise blood pressure.
There is a problem with this character design!
Xiong Er steals things, slanders the bald strong in various ways, and even deceives people and lies at every turn. Anyone who sees this kind of character design will frown.
if we assume…
“Bear Infested” is not an animation for children to watch, so Gu Miao can’t say a word to such a character, and even applauds it.
But the main audience of “Bear Infested” is those children whose thinking is immature and the three views have not yet been fully formed.
This is a big problem!
As the “protagonist”, Xiong Da Xiong Er is still a relatively “just” protagonist, and he is destined to attract many children to worship and imitate.
In terms of human design, it cannot leave such a big flaw, and it will be criticized or even criticized in the end.
Finally, Bald Qiang!
As the “villain” in the play, Bald Qiang, who loves to chop down trees and destroy the forest environment, is actually very similar to Big Big Wolf. Both of them are complex characters who are both good and evil.
His character design is actually very good.
The “little man” traits of Bald Qiang are vividly displayed in the plot. Especially his respect and humbleness to Boss Li, and his pride and complacency when facing Xiong Daxiong Er…
To put it bluntly, the bald head is more popular than Xiong Daxiong Er, and it is more popular. This is a matter of course.
After all, he is such a realistic and interesting character, who wouldn’t like him?
But even so, the bald and strong character design also has a small shortcoming.
Especially in the first few seasons!
The bald and strong character setting, such as filial piety to parents and kindness, these excellent qualities were not actually reflected in the early days of the animation “Bear Infested”.
Yes, there must be!
But these character settings were not reflected in the plot, which caused the audience not to have a deep impression of them, only remembering that he cut down trees.
Don’t rush to refute!
What Gu Miao was talking about was the early stage. The early stage of “Bear Infested” is indeed like this. Many things in terms of character design are not perfect.
The turning point is that the broadcast of the Lunar New Year film “Bear Infested Chinese New Year” has changed many people’s stereotypes about bald heads.
This Gu Miao must be changed.
Bald Qiang is filial to his parents and kind-hearted. This point must be let the audience know as soon as it comes up, instead of waiting until “New Year” is broadcast to suddenly realize it.
This is the same as Big Big Wolf.
As soon as Big Big Wolf came up, he immediately let the audience know that he is a good wolf king who cares about his family and loves his wife.
As the number of episodes increases, the audience becomes more and more impressed, and this persona becomes deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it can be regarded as completely established.
Otherwise…
Is it necessary to learn from the original version and wait for the animation to become popular before starting to portray the bald strong, filial and kind side?
It’s too late!
