My Animation Era

  Chapter 86 Smart, Brave and Powerful...

  February 2nd, New Year's Eve.

  In the villa given to him by Boss Xiong, Gu Miao warmly hosted the animation production team of "Pigman: The Magic of Pigs".

   It's a bit of fun!

  Considering that there were only him and Lao Gu in the house, it was unavoidably deserted. It just so happened that there were more than a dozen people staying behind from the production team of Pigman, so they simply called to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

   Not to mention, the effect is quite good.

   These sound effects artists, editors and animators all have "unique skills". Especially Huang Kun, the leader, is actually a "cooking" expert.

"sure!"

   Picking up a piece of the freshly stewed chicken with chopsticks, after putting it in her mouth to taste, Gu Miao gave a thumbs up and praised, "I don't think your cooking skills are worse than those of restaurant chefs."

   "So-so."

   "I don't have many hobbies, and studying food is one of my favorite things to do."

  Huang Kun, who was wearing an apron, smiled and said, "In terms of cooking, I should only be a little worse than Vice President Jiang."

   "Jiang Keke?"

   Gu Miao, who was stealing food, couldn't help raising her head when she heard this and asked, "What do you mean, is she a good cook?"

   "Amazing!"

  Huang Kun nodded and said, "I heard Vice President Jiang mention that she not only passed the baker qualification certificate, but also worked as a dish developer for a period of time in a western restaurant."

   "She taught me a lot about western food and baking. The steak you are stealing is fried using the method she taught me..."

  Gently set down the steak.

  After using a smile to hide the embarrassment of being exposed for stealing food, Gu Miao coughed and said, "Okay! I didn't expect you to be so talented in cooking besides animation."

"correct!"

   "You just told me, "Pig Man" has not yet solved a difficult problem, what is it?"

   "Ten slaps to subdue the dragon!"

  Talking about this topic, Huang Kun said with a serious face: "You mentioned in the plan that when GGBond used this trick, there was a cutscene demonstration animation."

   "Yes!" Gu Miao nodded.

  He did mention this "trick cutscene demonstration" animation in the project proposal, and gave a brief description in words.

   Roughly…

  Accompanied by the suona sound of "Small Knife Club Prelude", the "mask" on Pigman's head lowered, and his whole body was emitting red light. In the background of a "dragon", he made five gestures.

  These five gestures turned into "pseudo shadows" that surrounded Pigman in the shape of a pentagram, giving Pigman a "close-up" shot of these five gestures.

  The mask is off!

  Five phantoms of the starting gestures "integrated" into Pigman's body one by one, and with the golden words "Ten Slaps to Subdue the Dragon" emerged, a golden dragon blasted out from the palm...

   Reasonable, it's not difficult, right?

   Don't look at the exaggerated description, but with the current 3D animation technology, it is not difficult to realize. Just find a college student majoring in animation, and it is estimated that they can make similar effects.

  He couldn't figure it out.

  What kind of tricky problem is this?

   "It's not about production!"

  Huang Kun smiled wryly: "The problem is...we don't know, which five postures do you mean by the five starting gestures?"

   Ah this? !

  Gu Miao was momentarily stunned.

  Pigman's trick "Ten Slaps to Subdue the Dragon", although he often imitated it when he was a child. Those five starting gestures can be drawn with eyes closed.

   But how many years have passed?

  He can only vaguely recall that these five starting movements should not be very difficult, they are nothing more than a combination of "raising hands", "pushing hands", and "turning around".

  As for the specific posture...

  Sorry, Gu Miao really forgot.

   But it’s harmless, just ask a "Pine Cone Phlegm Shaking" martial arts master, and learn a few "palm-hand gestures" to make do with it.

   This is not a big problem.

  Compared with this trick cutscene, he is more concerned about the production of the theme song "Pigman" of the animation with the same name.

   "The recording is over."

  Huang Kun said with a smile on his face: "After listening to it, everyone commented very well. Some female colleagues even said that this song should be written by a girl. It is so cute."

  Female... A song written by a girl? !

  Gu Miao has black lines all over her hair.

  If you let them know that the person who wrote this song turned out to be a middle-aged greasy director in his 30s or 40s, would they still find it cute?

Do not misunderstand.

   This is not about himself, but Mr. Wang Wei, the original author of the theme song of the same name of "Pig Man", the chief animation director, and the founder of Blue Arc.

   Didn’t expect that?

  The person who wrote the theme song of Pigman, that is, "smart, brave and powerful", "flying a plane, TV, CD, MP3", turned out to be him!

  To be honest, Gu Miao was also shocked when she first learned about this.

   Isn’t this guy an animation director? Why do you still write songs? And the songs he wrote are so nice, isn't his talent a bit crooked?

  However, when he got to know more about it, he found that this person was not only a good screenwriter, but also a member of the "Musician Association" and a senior programmer. He finally understood what it means to be uneven in the world!

   No wonder people can succeed.

  Composer, screenwriter, programming, and animation are proficient in everything. Even if this kind of all-round talent does not engage in animation, he can still shine in other industries.

can only say…

   It's also a nine-year compulsory education, so why is he so good, but Gu Miao can't do it, take the first place in eating?

   It's not fair!

   Gu Miao, who was full of complaints, silently complained about the shame of "hanging on the wall" in her heart, and immediately thought of another song, which is also the theme song of the Pigman animation "Little Hero with Big Belly".

   This song is also quite classic.

   "Oh! GGBond!"

   "Being a hero in a fairy tale..."

  After running away as a blue arc, the theme song of the fifth animation series of Pigman "Pigman: A Fairy Tale in the Block World", "Little Hero with Big Belly" is also a song that many audiences are familiar with.

  Which one is better?

   Different audiences may have different opinions, but Gu Miao thinks that the theme song of the same name of "Pig Man" sounds better than "Little Hero with Big Belly".

  Maybe it is preconceived!

   "Smart, Brave and Powerful" left such a deep impression on him that when he thought of Pigman, the melody of this song would automatically play in his mind.

  The version of "Little Hero with Big Belly", to be honest, is a bit stretched. After listening to it for so many years, he can't even remember the "full lyrics".

  The former is more catchy.

  Of course, this only represents his personal opinion. Perhaps in the eyes of other audiences, "Little Hero with Big Belly" sounds better.

  This is not a multiple choice question!

   During the post-production of "Fairy Tales in the Block World", he will also reproduce the original theme song. For now, "smart, brave and strong" is enough.

  Pigman is similar to Pleasant Goat.

  One theme song can be used in many works, and there is no need to change it for many years. In a sense, this also saved him a lot of time and money.

Great!
