My Animation Era

  Chapter 315 Baba Dad (for subscription)

  When the word puppet animation is mentioned, many people may not have any impression, or even know what it is...

no way!

   There are too few puppet animation works. Compared with other animation types, they are too unpopular and rare.

   And there's a little more.

  Puppet animation is the most prosperous and popular period in China, but it has passed long ago.

   Around the 1980s, puppet animation became popular in China and became the favorite animation of children. With the changes of the times, the tastes of today's children have long changed.

  When I saw this before, the children would exclaim: dig lotus root! This is so boring!

   Now watching puppet animation, most children will think that this is too old-fashioned, right?

  Compared to those exquisite and cool 3D animations with full special effects, the puppet animations born out of "puppet shows" inevitably lag behind the development of the times.

  These are facts.

   But this does not mean that puppet animation has completely declined, is completely hopeless, and has completely lost its development prospects.

  Puppet animation cannot develop, and the core problem is actually one: the production cost is too high, and the artistic aesthetic requirements of the main creative team are higher.

  The older generation of animators may still be interested in doing it, but the creators of the new generation of animation industry have given up this genre.

to be honest.

   The pay and rewards of puppet animation are not equal, so there are fewer and fewer practitioners, which makes this type less and less popular.

  If you say, if...

   If there is really an excellent and excellent puppet animation born, which can awaken everyone's good memories of childhood, the results must not be bad.

  After all, many post-80s and post-90s generations have watched puppet animation, and they are full of affection for this type of animation.

  The group of children born after 2000 may also become interested in puppet animation.

  So, Gu Miao has an idea.

  He thinks that puppet animation is still useful. To be precise, there is still a little bit of tricks, so he can try to do it.

   Anyway, Wanbao has a big business!

   Although puppet animation is a typical example of "paying more than return", it is nothing to a large factory of Wanbao Animation.

  Uncle Sanshui doesn’t have many other things, but there are many figurines and thieves!

who…

   Isn’t Sailor Moon very popular? Later, I gave Sailor Moon and the others a few "swimsuit limited" figures, and the production costs of ten puppet animations were all earned back.

   It's such a happy decision.

   After writing down the contact information of the production team of "The Peacock Princess", and planning to make an appointment with him in Jiangchuan in two days, Gu Miao immediately looked at the third circled work in the list.

   "Ice Hockey Hero" is a neon hot sports show, and "Peacock Princess" is a domestic puppet animation.

  The above two works can be circled by Ma Kui as the biggest competitor of "Pokémon". Gu Miao thinks there is nothing wrong with them. After all, the subject matter of the performance is very attractive.

  But this third part...

   No, why?

  This French comic book adaptation called "Barba Papa", why can it be regarded as a "competitor"?

   "This is Baba Papa, Baba Mama, Baba Zu, Baba Lala, Baba Libo, Baba Bo, Baba Bell, Baba Bright, Baba Brabo..."

   Good guy!

  After reading the introduction, Gu Miao was dizzy. Is this a string of names, or a long string of tongue twisters?

   The name is abstract.

  The painting style is also quite abstract, and as for the plot, it is even more abstract.

  The story of Baba Papa, Baba Mama, who can freely change shapes, and their seven children of different colors and hobbies...

   "Are you sure this thing is a threat?"

"some."

  Ma Kui's expression didn't seem to be joking, and he said seriously: "Although this animation looks quite nonsensical and abstract, it is very popular in Europe."

   "The animation "Barba Papa" has been broadcast in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, and has achieved good ratings and a good reputation."

"and…"

   Speaking of this, Ma Kui suddenly paused, as if even he was surprised, and explained under Gu Miao's curious eyes: "This is an animation project that CCTV has introduced."

  Gu Miao was silent.

  If Ma Kui is not lying, then this animation is indeed very threatening, even more deterrent than "Hockey Hero" and "Peacock Princess".

  After all, more than 40 countries and regions around the world have exploded, and CCTV has focused on introducing animation projects. The combination of these two titles is indeed very popular.

   "Focus on it."

  Gu Miao picked up the pen on the table, lightly clicked "Baba Papa" on the list and said: "European animation, there will always be one or two god-level works every once in a while, so don't be careless."

"yes!"

When it came to the animations in Europe, Hou Bin, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help expressing his opinion: "The European ones are amazing, they look like they're badly done, but every now and then they can always come up with one or two amazing animations around the world. .”

Amazing!

   Do you think I'm messing around?

  NO! In fact, I am accumulating energy, and when my energy bar is full, you will know that I am wrong.

how to say?

  European animation is not bad, it can even be said to be very strong, and it can be regarded as one of the best in the world.

   But it is not "stable" enough.

   This kind of stability refers to the frequency of the birth of excellent works and popular models. Like Huaguo and Neon animation industries, the animations produced in the same year have both **** and good works.

   But Europe is different...

  It is possible that the animations produced this year are all hot chicken, unsightly. It is also possible that this year's productions are all masterpieces, the kind that are popular all over the world.

  Ghost duality!

   Either super god, or super ghost! This is the first impression that European animation brings to people, there is no "stability" to speak of.

certainly!

  This situation may also have something to do with the special animation production environment in Europe, the artistic expression of animation, and the animation style.

  Anyway, Gu Miao couldn't understand.

   It can only be said that "Baba Papa" was selected by CCTV and became popular in more than 40 countries and regions. It may indeed have its unique charm.

  Maybe…

  This summer vacation, only "Barba Papa" can compete with "Pokémon".

  Hockey hero and peacock princess?

   It wasn't that Gu Miao underestimated them, but the themes of these two animations stopped many viewers.

  Ice hockey?

  This sport can’t be said to be unpopular in China, it can only be said to be extremely unpopular. It’s so unpopular that many people don’t know what ice hockey is.

   As for the Peacock Princess?

   I believe everyone who understands the limitations of puppet animation. Gu Miao didn't think that "The Peacock Princess" would cause too much trouble in China.

   "The animation "Barba Papa" has exploded in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, and our "Pokemon" is not bad!"

  Gu Miao folded her hands and said, "The game "Pokémon" has sold well in more than 140 countries and regions, 140 to 40, this wave... This wave is my advantage!"
