My Animation Era

  Chapter 1027 The Age of Superman's Life

   Wanbao Animation is not monolithic.

   Regardless of the fact that everyone usually has a harmonious atmosphere, they call each other brothers, and the relationship is very good. But when it comes to fighting for resources, they turn their faces and deny people, which is comparable to the enemy of life and death.

   "Tamako Market" is an animation produced by Kyoani Studio.

  First, this animation has not been broadcast yet, so it is impossible to determine the performance and word-of-mouth. It is too early to talk about the theatrical version.

  Secondly, Kyoani is a rookie who has just joined Wanbao's team. Even with Mr. Gu's support, he still doesn't have the confidence to speak in front of all the veterans.

  Based on the above two points, the proposal for the theatrical version of "Okja Love Story" was rejected as soon as it was put forward.

Do not misunderstand!

   Gu Miao didn't kill it, he was the one who suggested it, how could he kill his own proposal?

  The main reason is that the voice of internal opposition is too loud. Lao Zhang, Huang Kun, Hou Bin and others all feel that this resolution is too hasty and should be reconsidered.

  If we really want to make a theatrical version, we will wait until the TV animation "Tamako Market" has achieved results. Before the results are produced, the theatrical version of the plan is indeed unconvincing.

   "Okay, then wait."

  Although Gu Miao can make a final decision and forcefully pass this resolution, he must also worry about the emotional problems of some people in the company, so that everyone can't think that he is partial.

  Wolf Castle Studio has been ridiculed as the prince's studio before. If there is another prince, other studios will definitely feel uncomfortable.

   In this regard, Kyoani agreed.

  Let's talk about the results?

OK! As a weekly animation, the animation "Tamako Market" was directly broadcast on the local Neon TV station, rushing to produce results.

  As the producer of animations such as "Dragon Ball", "Sailor Moon" and "Pretty Cure", Wanbao still has a strong appeal in the neon market.

  Especially the animation "Tamako Market", which is quite different from previous works, and has a "little fresh" feeling.

  So ever since.

  The animation "Tamako Market" was broadcast for a week. The response of the first two episodes was extremely good, and the popularity was no less than that of several popular "Lightly Modified Manga" animations that were broadcast at the same time.

  As the main scene of the animation, Tushan Shopping Street, with the popularity of the animation, welcomes countless tourists to visit and check in.

Yes!

   Usagiyama Shopping Street has prototypes in reality, and not only Usagiyama Shopping Street, but also the school where Tamago and Mochizo attended, conspicuous convenience stores on the roadside and even vending machines can all find prototypes.

   This is also a major feature of Kyoani Studio.

  In their animations, the scene architecture is basically designed with reference to the real prototype, and there are very few fictional elements, so the story will look very real, with a feeling of happening around you and me.

  …

   "Realistic?"

  The animation "Yama Market" became popular, and the fact that the real "Tushan Shopping Street" was crowded with tourists who came here for the name greatly inspired Gu Miao.

   Well known.

  As the production of the animation "Guardian of Yangcun" draws to a close, he is also having another headache, which is how to make a setting system for the new version of "Superman" animation.

  The setting is perfect.

  There have been countless seminars before, and the setting of the "Superman" project has been discussed in detail.

  But Gu Miao was still dissatisfied. He always felt that there was still a big problem with this setting system, but he just couldn't figure out what was not perfect.

  After watching the first two episodes of "Yama Market", his doubts seem to have been answered.

  Find the crux of the problem!

  The problem with the setting system of Wanbao's new version of "Superman" lies in the ambiguous background of the times.

   Everyone knows that Superman was born on Krypton, and was sent to Earth by his parents for refuge when he was young. Then he was discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer, the Kent couple, and named him Clark Kent.

  Growing up, Clark came to the Metropolis and became a reporter for the "Daily Planet"...

  Gu Miao always thought that there was no problem with the background of this story, it was very classic.

   But now he realizes that there is a problem with this setting, and it is a big problem! Just explained the background of Superman's life experience, but what age did he live in?

  1930s, 1940s?

   Or the 21st century?

  Looking at the previous "Superman" series, it is not difficult to find a fact, that is, the background of Superman's era usually changes with the birth of the work.

simply put.

  If it is a Superman work 30 years ago, then the background of the story is what it was 30 years ago, and if it is a Superman work 20 years ago, then the background is what it was 20 years ago.

  Back to the present, Wanbao decided to restart the "Superman" series and produce new TV animation works for it.

   So here comes the problem.

  Is the background of the story set in 201X, which is a more realistic era, or earlier, such as the 90s or 80s, to make old fans feel more familiar?

   "Let's stay close to reality."

  Gu Miao is a representative of the school of advancing with the times. He advocates that the age of Superman's life should be changed with the birth of the work.

  Since the Wanbao version of "Superman" was born after 2010, the background of the story cannot be earlier than this time.

   "NO! Can you imagine Superman using a smartphone? Sorry! I can't!"

  Dave is an absolute representative of the traditional retro faction. He advocates that Superman should be more retro, and the modern story background may ruin Superman.

   Both sides have good reasons.

   Gu Miao will not be able to convince Dave for a while, and Dave will not be able to convince Gu Miao either. So the two sides decided to make a compromise and get a version of Superman from a few years ago.

   This is a happy ending.

   In the early 2000s, at the beginning of the century, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and the communication technology was still at 2G and 3G.

  Superman in this background can come into contact with some new things, making everyone feel that he is not so old-fashioned and behind the times.

   At the same time, Superman at this point in time will not look too "trendy", rather retro style, after all, counting from 2000 to now, it will be more than ten years ago.

   "OK!"

  Gu Miao snapped her fingers and said, "That's it. Our new version of Superman was born in the 1980s, and the story mainly happened in the early 21st century, a special period when the Internet was booming."

   "I keep this point in mind firmly, and I must show this in the design of scenes and props."

  Gu Miao said speechlessly: "I don't want to see our superman still use his mobile phone to make phone calls, dressed like an ancient man."

  Be reasonable.

   It's time to change the hairstyle too!

  Old Superman is good at everything, but Gu Miao can't accept that hairstyle. After all, his hairstyle is too retro and has a sense of history.

  Superman in the new era should really have a full hairstyle, don't always wear neat curly hair, giving people a feeling of being behind the times.

certainly!

  The iconic lock of curly hair on the forehead can be kept, which is the same as the dull hair of the cute girl in the second dimension, and it is authentic.

   The main board and power supply have been sent, and the memory of the graphics card is fine. For these two days, I can only use my mobile phone to code...
