My Animation Era

  Chapter 218 High School Student Observation Diary (Subscribe)

  In the animation industry, there has always been a controversy, that is, what kind of painting style should this original work adopt?

   Realistic? Beautiful? cute?

Or…

  Using the relatively unpopular ink style?

  Choosing a suitable style of painting for a suitable work is actually the number one problem that animation supervisors face in the creative process.

  Why is this thing important?

  To give a simple example, take the animation "Sailor Moon" as an example. The old animation of the 1990s and the new animation of Crystal are actually two completely different styles of painting.

  This change is not only reflected in what is visible to the naked eye, but also in some inconspicuous details, such as the eyes and hair color of Moon Hare.

  Some people may feel that...

what! It's no big deal! The new version and the old version look good to me, which means that this is not a bad thing!

  Being able to say such things shows that he is still too young.

  If Crystal’s new version of Sailor Moon has a sudden change in style and adopts the style of JOJO, will it still be popular?

   Well, this is a bit extreme.

   Putting it another way, if "Sailor Moon" becomes the realistic style of "Slam Dunk", what do you think the audience will think?

   What is suitable is the best.

  Generally speaking, adaptations to animation works will tend to "keep the original work" in the choice of style of painting. In other words, whatever the style of the original manga is, then the style of animation will be adopted.

  However, novel adaptations and original animations will be selected by the production team, which is more in line with the theme and the style of the plot.

   All the time.

  The animation styles produced by Wanbao Animation tend to be "cute" and "beautiful", and there are few other styles.

   This is actually a big flaw.

  As an animation company with great ambitions, if you can’t control a variety of painting styles, then what face do you have in the circle?

   It’s not that animation companies have to handle different styles.

   It’s just that if you want to reach the top, if you want to become the No. 1 animation company, then you can’t have too obvious shortcomings, you must learn to control different styles of painting.

  Ink style is a new option!

  In Gu Miao's impression, there are quite a lot of animation works about ink and wash style, and the quality is not bad.

  If you can recruit a master of ink style, then when making animations in the future, the works you can choose will no longer be "cute" or "beautiful".

  Think here.

  Gu Miao suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the original version of the animation "The Moonlight Is Beautiful" was realistic, and he followed suit.

  But the problem is...

  Can he really handle the realistic style?

  According to rumors, the animation producer of the original "Moonlight is Beautiful" was stimulated by the theatrical version of "Tamako Market" produced by Kyoto Animation, and was deeply moved, so he also had the idea of ​​making an animation with a similar theme.

  During the period of writing the script, several main animation creators, including Seiji Kishi, not only exchanged their youth stories in their teenage years, but also asked several real junior high school students to do interview samples.

Even…

  The main creative team also worked as a paparazzi, secretly observing and recording the process of falling in love among real junior high school students.

Ok!

   Rumors are rumors after all, and may be different from the actual situation, but it does not mean that this is the truth.

  But Gu Miao believes that the behavior of the original animation production team is of great reference value.

   In reality, there may not be "Tan An" and "Ye Qian", but they are high school students who are the same age, are also troubled by puberty, and are also at a loss for their first love.

   So, why not observe?

  …

  Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, Monday.

  After a short rest day, the students returned to school one after another. The campus, which was obviously deserted yesterday, suddenly became very lively.

  However, as soon as they returned to school, the students of Jiangchuan No. 1 High School discovered that there were two more sneaky "weirds" on campus!

  Why do you say weird?

  Sunglasses, masks, baseball caps, standard paparazzi three-piece set! Wrapped in an airtight black down jacket, he likes to squat in an inconspicuous corner and peep at everyone. Isn't this a weirdo?

   What's weird is that...

  The teachers and security guards of the school turned a blind eye to these two weirdos and did not expel them at all. They also told everyone that these two people were also members of the school staff.

  Damn it!

  There are so many school employees, everyone dare not say that they all know each other, at least they are familiar. But these two mysterious people have never appeared in the school at all. What kind of employees are they?

   Weird is weird!

   These two weirdos didn’t affect everyone’s study and life after all. Apart from squatting in a corner in a daze, they didn’t even say a word, so everyone regarded them as transparent people.

   Once, two high school sophomore boys fought in the corner of the basketball court because they were chasing the same girl. After the fight, they found these two strange people squatting next to them.

  The students were all dumbfounded.

  Everyone thought that these two weirdos would report to the teacher or the principal when they saw the scene just now, and the two boys who fought would be reported and criticized.

   As a result, nothing happened!

   After a full week, after confirming that the two people did not report to the teacher and the principal, everyone immediately came to a conclusion.

   "These two weirdos are dumb!"

"Really?"

   "Of course it's true! I smoked in the toilet and he squatted next door. We looked at each other and smiled, but he didn't report it to the teacher..."

   It turned out to be dumb!

  As we got along with each other for a long time, everyone became more and more courageous, doing all kinds of "shady" bad things, and they didn't shy away from being seen and discovered by these two weirdos.

  Anyway, they are dumb, let alone report to the teacher, see it when they see it!

  Sometimes, when the boys get together to smoke, they will give the two weirdos a Huazi. Squat in the toilet, and ask a lot: "Shall we go to **** together?"

   But this good day only lasted for half a month.

  The day before the New Year's Day holiday, the students were surprised to find that the two weirdos had disappeared.

  Just as everyone was curious and was going to ask the teacher if these two weirdos had been expelled from the school for doing nothing all day long, the head teacher walked into the classroom with a smile on his face.

Then…

  The homeroom teacher took out a thick book with a notepad with the words "small report" crookedly written on the cover, opened the first page and read:

   "On December 21, Zhao **** and Li xx, boys from class 2 (3) of high school, got into a fight because of jealousy, and fought on the basketball court..."

   "On December 22, Wang xx, a boy in class 2 (3) of senior high school, smoked in the toilet and played with his mobile phone, and the search records contained an old butt..."

   "December 23rd..."

  Master!

   Stop reading it!

  At this moment, both boys and girls stood up together, looking at the "small report" notepad in the head teacher's hand with disbelief, wondering where it came from?

"Humph!"

  The head teacher snorted coldly, and then reprimanded: "I told you all, those two people are school employees, the special commissioner sent by the principal to supervise the school spirit and discipline, why don't you believe it?"

   Wow!

  The inner ghosts are those two weirdos?
