My Animation Era

  Chapter 310 There are seven swords in the martial arts... (for subscription)

  Apprentices have their own ideas.

  In Gu Miao's opinion, this is actually a good thing. Because he has always hoped that the directors of Wanbao Animation can get out of his "shackles".

  What does this sentence mean?

  It's easy!

  Gu Miao is a shameful hanger, he can open and copy excellent works from memory, but other people in the company are not hangers.

  If people like Huang Kun and Guo Hongwei didn't use their brains, they would just reach out and ask Gu Miao for a ready-made business plan...

   In a short period of time, there will be no problem.

   But as time goes on, if one day Gu Miao can't come up with a business proposal. They are used to the "White Prostitution Project", can they still produce an excellent animation work by their own ability?

   I'm afraid it will be difficult!

  Because of this, Gu Miao has always emphasized that directors like Wanbao Animation, whoever has a good idea, can come to him to communicate.

  As long as your idea is good enough, the wise and mighty Mr. Gu doesn’t mind allocating tens of millions of dollars to make your dream a reality.

  Guo Hongwei is not the first director who revealed in front of Gu Miao that he wanted to make "original animation".

   He won't be the last either.

  Speaking of it, his idea is actually very simple. That is to make a more traditional martial arts animation with a strong flavor of Jianghu.

  What is more traditional?

  A rivers and lakes story full of love and hatred, swords and swords, and endless disputes.

   "Is there a general outline of the story?"

"some…"

   "It is said that there are seven magic swords in the martial arts world, each of which is an invincible magic weapon. And behind these seven swords, there is an unknown secret hidden."

  Guo Hongwei talked eloquently: "The person who gathers all seven swords in the legend is very likely to unlock this secret and become the first person in the martial arts world!"

   "So your story revolves around the struggle for these seven swords?" Gu Miao asked.

"Ok!"

  Guo Hongwei nodded: "What do you think of this story? Did you mess it up?"

   "There are tricks, but not big."

Gu Miao was not in a hurry to refute Guo Hongwei, but closed her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "The core of animation lies in the characters. From what you mean, the main line of this story is to gather all the seven gods. Sword, solve the mystery of martial arts?"

   "If that's the case, then I have an immature opinion."

   Seeing Guo Hongwei nodding, Gu Miao said again: "Why don't you give each of these seven swords an owner?"

  Seven swords, seven protagonists?

  Guo Hongwei heard this, thoughtfully said: "Master, what do you mean, let these seven protagonists each claim a divine sword, and jointly resist the careerist who plots the divine sword?"

   "It can be understood in this way."

  Hearing this, Gu Miao suddenly thought of a domestic martial arts animation that he had seen before, The Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit.

   "Seven swords combined, invincible in the world!"

  As an animation work that Gu Miao remembered deeply when she was a child, "The Legend of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes" can be described as a childhood memory of a generation.

  Classic degree needless to say.

  The astonishing influence of this animation in those years may not be understood from the perspective of later generations.

for example.

  During the 2000s when animation was the most popular, one of the most popular toys on the market was the "pocket version" Seven Swords.

   Haven’t seen it?

  The Changhong Sword, Ice Soul Sword, Ziyun Sword, Yuhua Sword, Benlei Sword, Qingguang Sword, and Whirlwind Sword are in a plastic bag that is very small and pocket-sized.

   At that time, this thing was selling like crazy!

  Although it is a pirated version, the quality is also very poor, and the volume is very small. Holding it in your hand is as ridiculous as "Zhang Fei embroidery".

   But everyone really liked it!

  Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit Legend of the Seven Heroes is classic, to be honest, no matter how bragging it is, it can’t be overstated. After all, this is the first time for many children born in the 90s and 00s to feel the charm of the so-called "martial arts".

  When Guo Hongwei said "there are seven divine swords in the martial arts", Gu Miao subconsciously wanted to report the names of the dishes, and she casually mentioned the names of swords such as Changhong, Bingpo and Ziyun.

   It's okay, he held back.

   It's not that he doesn't want to speak out, but that he doesn't want to force his thoughts on Guo Hongwei.

  What if the silly apprentice comes up with something better than "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit"?

   Don't stifle other people's imagination!

  Gu Miao encourages them to create freely, essentially to cultivate their ability of "independent planning".

  So, even if he really liked "The Legend of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" and felt that this work was very suitable for Guo Hongwei, he didn't say anything.

certainly!

   It’s not too much to give proper guidance, right?

  Gu Miao didn't want to think about it all, and left the story outline, character setting, and plot development of "The Legend of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" to his apprentice, making him completely reduced to a tool person who "doesn't need to use his brain".

  But he can guide Guo Hongwei to think in a certain direction.

  In this way, although the result is not too different, the process is completely different. After all, the former was "forced" by Gu Miao, and the latter was thought up by Xiao Guo himself.

  …

   Chatted all afternoon.

  Until it was getting dark, Jiang Keke called three times in a row, asking him what time he would go back to dinner after get off work, and the conversation between Gu Miao and Guo Hongwei came to an end.

  The outline of the story is roughly finalized.

  According to Guo Hongwei's idea, Gu Miao guided and added, the first version of the "Legend of Seven Swords" planning draft was finally released.

What? Legend of Seven Swords?

   There is no doubt that this is the name given by Guo Hongwei. Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong, so she simply nodded in agreement.

   It's a "tentative name" anyway.

   When the plan is supplemented and perfected later, it may be changed, so what the name is now is actually not important at all.

   As long as it doesn't sound bad, it's fine.

   Oh yes...

   When it comes to awkward tongues, Gu Miao really wants to complain about "Xia Lan". Although I know that "Xialan" is a "profession", the person who saves the world is called Xialan.

  But he had to make complaints about the name Xia Lan. It cannot be said to be unpleasant or awkward, but it is too "difficult to understand".

  If you don't watch the feature film, just watch the title of the play.

  Who knows what this show is? I don't know what kind of story, what subject matter and what genre it tells!

   It is not impossible to use "Xialan".

  Add a "record", or "Legend", or "Legend", or "Biography", or to be more international, add an "Adventure" after it!

  The word "bald man Lan"!

  Holy shit, it sounds so barren and tall, so classical, so emotional! But it's strange that children who watch animation can understand this.

   "The Legend of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes" is not bad!

   Briefly, "Legend of Seven Swords" is also acceptable. It is not impossible to even link across works and name it "Seven Generals of the Gods".

  Anyway, everyone can understand the title of the play.

   It's not like "Xia Lan", you don't know what "Xia Lan" means, and what does it refer to without watching the feature film?

   Xia Lan, don’t look at the feature film, just look at these two words, what can you tell?
