My Animation Era

  Chapter 1053 Power system across works

  When the news that the copyright of the "Superman" series was sold to a Chinese company spread throughout the United States and even the world, many people cursed, ridiculed and even insulted Wanbao.

  No way, discrimination!

   It is normal for some people to be upset. After all, Superman wearing underwear was once a representative symbol of European and American culture. Many people have been fans of Superman for three generations.

   Such a cultural symbol falls into the hands of a foreign company, and many people cannot accept it emotionally.

  The media also unanimously bad-mouthed.

  It has become a kind of alternative political correctness to slander and smear Wanbao’s remake of Superman.

  So it is not incomprehensible for a company like Wheeler to sell Superman to Wanbao and then start to whitewash itself and belittle the Superman series to please the mainstream public.

   Actually.

   Whitewashing is the main purpose!

  Wyler Company single-handedly created the great IP of "Superman", which was once a hero in the minds of countless people.

  However, for money, they sold Superman to Huaguo Enterprise, which offended many passers-by and fans, and the public opinion fell to the bottom.

  In order to reverse the public opinion, they naturally have to cater to the mainstream values ​​of Europe and the United States, and stand up and say: Clark Kent is only called Superman when he was in Wheeler Company. Under Wanbao, the so-called Superman is just a circus clown!

  What do Chinese people know about Superman?

  If they understand Superman and can do it well, the cows at John’s Farm next door can go to Hollywood to run for best actor...

   "It's the enemy of the whole world!"

  After opening the browser and scanning the overseas media reports on the remake of "Superman" animation, as well as Weller's mocking statement on Superman, Gu Miao sighed.

  Not a single promising one.

  Willer Company and Mardete Comic Company sued Wanbao Animation, although it was a show, it also won the support of many passers-by.

  Wanbao is almost portrayed as a villain.

  Anyway, according to Gu Miao's observations, the public opinion in North America generally looks down on the remake of "Superman", and this is almost becoming a popular meme.

  When you don’t know what to talk to your friend, ask him if he knows about the Superman remake, and say with a flamboyant expression, “Biggest joke of the century, isn’t it?”

  Under such a bad public opinion environment, the pressure faced by the "Superman" animation production team can be imagined.

   Being involved in lawsuits is a trivial matter.

  In order to ease the pressure on the production team and prevent them from being affected by various off-site factors, Gu Miao specially dispatched 12 elite officers from the legal department of the Jiangchuan headquarters to handle related lawsuits.

  Jiangchuan Pizza Hut is here!

  Wanbao's legal department is not in vain. Although it left Jiangchuan's home court and went to North America thousands of miles away for an away game, its strength has declined slightly, but it is still very reliable to resolve such small lawsuits.

   But then again...

   This kind of lawsuit itself has no technical content, and the other party does not expect to win Wanbao.

  Compared with these lawsuits, Gu Miao paid more attention to the completion quality of the "Superman" remake animation.

  Because he knows that winning or losing a lawsuit doesn’t change anything. If the animation is not good enough, even if the lawsuit wins, it’s the same as losing.

certainly!

  Litigation and animation are two different things. It is best to win the lawsuit and do animation well.

  Because of the time difference, when the rough cut samples of the remake of "Superman" were sent to Gu Miao, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

   Gu Miao, who had just paid the public rations and felt powerless, hurried to the study room and used the computer to read the rough cut version even though she was exhausted.

  Only one episode of anime...

  Maybe he was worried that Mr. Gu’s English was not very good, so he directly enjoyed the original film. Under the premise of pure English dubbing and no subtitles, the viewing experience was not good. Dave also thoughtfully added Chinese subtitles.

  According to the translated Chinese, the title of the rough-cut sample of this episode is called "The Last Son of Krypton".

  Looking at the title, you know that it is the first episode, the beginning and origin of Superman animation.

  There is nothing novel about the plot, it is nothing more than explaining the cause and effect of the Krypton explosion and Superman being sent away by his parents. There is no earth scene in this episode, and it is mainly from the perspective of Krypton.

   As for the big scene...

  Maybe the shocking scene of Krypton explosion at the end of the film can be called a big scene of exploding funds?

   Leaving aside the big scene, just talking about the impression, Gu Miao thinks it is acceptable, at least there is no obvious sense of discomfort and awkwardness, and the whole process is very comfortable to watch.

  Especially the fighting portrayal and body movements of the characters, which have a very obvious style of American comics.

   That's pretty cool!

  Superman's Mom and Dad's character creation is also more colorful than expected, and they haven't fallen into a stalemate of facial makeup. This is what Gu Miao is most satisfied with.

  If he had to be picky, it might be Superman's appearance when he was a child, which didn't meet his psychological expectations.

   "How did Superman look so abstract when he was young?"

  Gu Miao thought about it carefully, it seems that in the original version of "Superman TAS", Xiaochao didn't look like this! Why did Xiaochao get plastic surgery and change his face when it came to the Wanbao version?

this is not OK.

   It's not that Gu Miao insists on pursuing the so-called reduction, but the remake of Wanbao's Little Superman. The face shape is indeed too strange.

   Not ugly, not ugly!

  Abstract appearance means that Little Superman doesn’t look like his father at all, and Superman’s father’s appearance is almost a one-to-one replica of the adult version of Superman.

what does that mean?

  This means that, as the same person, Superman looks nothing like he grew up when he was a child!

   It's outrageous.

what? Going to the earth to live for a period of time can change a person's basic appearance, and there will be a drama of "Male Big Eighteen Changes"?

   Other than that, everything else is pretty good, except that Superman's childhood appearance needs to be adjusted and modified.

   Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the animation has not been broadcast yet.

   Otherwise, if the audience finds out that there is such a big difference in appearance between the Superman when he was a child and the Superman when he grew up, there may be some conspiracy theory!

   Maybe Superman's father will be given a green hat by some unscrupulous fans.

  …

  Wanbao's "Superman" animation remake is mainly based on Warner's "Superman TAS".

  However, the Wanbao remake is not a complete remake of the TAS version, but incorporates the settings and backgrounds of multiple different versions of Superman.

  What is a remake?

  Since it is a remake, it is to break the previous concept and reshape a set system.

  Obviously, the setting system of the Wanbao version of "Superman" animation is infinitely close to the later movie version of Superman.

  As for the strength of this version of Superman, according to the evaluation method of the previous life, it should be between the modern superman and the silver superman. It is not a complete silver superman, but it is slightly stronger than the familiar modern superman.

   Just look at this strength.

  Because it is an animation, the expressiveness of the screen will be stronger than that of the live-action version, and it will look more powerful.

  But when it comes to the setting system, when the live-action version is released, it may not necessarily be a performance of strength!

  Superman's combat power fluctuates.

  Anyway, Gu Miao has set a threshold, as long as the combat power does not exceed the upper threshold and does not violate the basic setting system, the rest depends on how the screenwriter writes.

  If it is really strong, it may be able to have the level of a super silver, and if it is weak, it may also be dubbed the title of "Shame of Superman".

   This is all uncertain.

  The only certainty is that no matter how ups and downs, Superman's upper limit is always there, and the status of the Optimus Prime of the Justice League is unshakable.

   Speaking of this, Gu Miao immediately thought of a big common pitfall of superheroes in American comics.

  The power system is too complicated!

  Taking Superman as an example, the same character has different sources of power systems in different periods, some from the technological side, some from the mysterious side...

  Can’t they be unified?

  Not only DC, but Marvel also has the same problem. The power system displayed by the same superhero in different periods may be very different.

   Like Hulk and Spiderman.

   It can only be said that Meiman’s practice of restarting the universe and reopening the timeline without moving is really too sloppy and brainless. If there is a disagreement, it will parallel time and space.

   By contrast.

  Domestic fantasy works do a better job in this aspect. Regardless of whether the story is attractive or not, at least it rarely happens that the setting collapses and restarts the universe.

  If you say you are cultivating immortals, then I will give you a set of training systems for Qi training, foundation building, Yuanying, and Huashen. There will be no modification and adjustment in the middle, and a set of power systems will be used to death.

  As for the Dou Huang boasting to become a **** in the early stage, the Dou Zun looks at the door in the later stage...

  You can say that the combat power system has collapsed, and too many strong players emerged in the later stage, which is not in line with common sense, but they have not restarted the universe to restart the settings, and it is still a set of settings that will be used to death.

  The stupidest thing a superhero in American comics has ever done is to restart the universe and restart settings at every turn, which increases the entry threshold for no reason.

  Gu Miao would never do this.

  Regardless of the final performance of the Wanbao version of "Superman", anyway, the subsequent live-action version, big movie or other derivative works will all be based on this work, and will not make a new set of settings.

   Moreover, the setting system formulated by the remake of "Superman" not only covers one character of Superman, but also covers the characters of the Justice League such as Batman and Wonder Woman.

   Belonging is once and for all.

   "Speaking of the unified setting system, I suddenly thought of a question." Huang Kun asked curiously.

   "You said!"

   "For works like "Superman", where the story always takes place in the same world, it is not a big problem to keep the power system consistent."

   After hesitating for a moment, Huang Kun frowned and said: "But if it is a cross-world, such as "Roaming the World of Animation" with cross-travel elements, how can the power system be unified?"

   This is something that bothers him a lot.

  Although in "Roaming the Animation World", there will be no scenes of "Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong" or "Pleasant Goat fighting Xiong Er", so there is no need to worry about the collapse of the power system, but he still wants to know the answer.

   "This is not a cross-world, this is a cross-work!"

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes: "As long as this kind of cross-work setting can be justified, I think it can be done in any way."

  You said that Xiong Daxiong and Xiong can beat Pluto to the ground in the world of "Super Beast Armed Forces" together. As long as you can give a "slightly reasonable" explanation, it is not impossible.

   After all, they are all cross works.

  The power system across works like this has always been mostly fabricated, and consistency is not important, the important thing is that you have to convince the audience.

for example.

  Everyone must have heard of the classic cross-work masterpiece "Gourd Baby vs. Transformers".

  Just listening to the name is very sloppy, but the power system of this work is not ordinary, but they gave a very reasonable explanation.

  After the gourd brothers defeated the monsters, Megatron suddenly attacked, and the old **** specially taught them that all of them could use modern weapons.

  The old fairy took out the laser gun: "If you want to defeat the Decepticons, you must also learn to use modern weapons!"

  The eldest baby and the second baby have become missile experts, and the third baby is a pure special soldier, equipped with a laser pistol on the basis of copper heads and iron arms.

  The fourth child can breathe fire and is equipped with flamethrowers and lightning mortars, the fifth child can spray water and is equipped with mine-piercing shells, the sixth child and the seventh child can drive rockets and spaceships...

   What do you think of "Gourd Baby vs. Transformers" is supernatural powers vs. modern technology?

Not at all!

  The author may also know that Cucurbita’s supernatural powers are too bullying to Megatron, so they let them pick up modern military weapons and use technology VS technology for a fair duel.

"I see."

  Although he has never watched the handed down work "Gourd Baby vs. Transformers", after Mr. Gu's in-depth explanation, Huang Kun basically understands it.

  The balance of the power system across works is not to let you choose between young models and school girls, but to find a rich woman to increase the thickness of your wallet first, and then come to support them later.

   "Fortunately, "Roaming in the Animation World" doesn't have the plot of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, otherwise I would have to rewrite a power system, which would be too troublesome." Huang Kun said happily.

   "It's really troublesome!"

  Gu Miao nodded: "But animations like "Roaming the World of Animation" don't need this."

  Will there be any battle scenes in the animation world that Xiao Wanbao travels through?

No!

  Except for the worlds of "Dragon Fighter", "Light Messenger", "Digimon", and "Super Beast Armor", Wanbao's other animation works are all peaceful and peaceful ordinary worlds.

  Xiao Wanbao travels to these worlds, at most playing with four-wheel drive remote control cars, catching Pokémon with Xiaozhi, playing tennis with Ryoma, playing cards with Yumi, catching Jerry with Tom...

  Blanch!

   Between these animation worlds, what kind of power system is needed?

   Without battle scenes, naturally there is no need to consider the balance of power systems in different works.

  The only thing that may need to be considered is, assuming that Xiao Wanbao gets a deck in the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh", can she summon monsters in the world of "Prince of Tennis"?

   "My outspin serve sucks, come on! Show me yours..."

   "My turn! Usually summon ~ chestnut ball, activate the effect of chestnut ball, discard a card in hand, and invalidate your spin serve!"

  Ryoma: "..."

   Good good good! That's how you play, right?

   I haven't watched "Gourd Baby vs. Transformers", the content is what I heard from others...
