My Animation Era - Chapter 767
Chapter 767 I don’t know the blessings in the blessings (seeking subscription)
Gu Miao did not disclose the wonderful cooperation with Naifly to the public, and even inside Wanbao Animation, not many people knew about it.
Don’t ask why it’s kept secret…
Although Wanbao has strong production capabilities and is generally recognized as a top animation company in the industry, no matter how strong it is, it can’t change the fact that they are a Chinese company.
“Angry Birds” is a game that originated in Europe and the United States and is popular all over the world. Its loyal players and fans may not understand why the animation adaptation of this game is handed over to a Huaguo company?
Maybe, there are very few such people.
But there is always a small group of people who look at Wanbao and the animated work “Angry Birds” with discrimination.
So keep it a secret!
After the animation is finished and officially aired, it will not be too late to reveal the real production company.
The animation is tentatively scheduled for 26 episodes.
This is the planning goal of the first season, first make 26 episodes to see the effect, if the response is not bad, then continue to do the second and third seasons.
If the response is bad, or even bad reviews, then Naifly’s loss will not be too great, and it will be OK to switch to another company for the second season…
Genre is Action Comedy!
The main plot of the animation tells the story of a group of flightless birds living on a tropical island. The mysterious green piglet lands on the island, and the peaceful life of the birds is broken.
Animation restoration is very high!
The level design of the game is integrated into the animation plot, born with thick black eyebrows, the irritable fat red, the hyperactive Chuck and the explosive bomb…all are familiar game characters.
It can be said that from the very beginning of the planning of this animation, it was determined to take the path of “fans”.
The main audience is those players and fans who have played the “Angry Birds” game and are familiar with these game characters.
As for the passer-by audience who have never played games and don’t know who these birds are based on…
terribly sorry!
The animation production team never considered the feelings of these people at all. As a fan-oriented animation work, it only needs to ensure the viewing experience of the fans.
“This is so unfriendly!”
Ma Kui curled his lips and said, “Can’t you please both fans and passers-by audience?”
“I wanted everything, but I got nothing in the end!” Gu Miao shook her head and said, “Do you know how many players and fans there are in the game “Angry Birds” all over the world?”
What’s wrong with being a fan?
Like “Angry Birds”, a super big IP with a huge fan base all over the world, you don’t need to think too much when adapting it, just take care of the fans’ feelings and it’s OK.
What passerby fans?
When the number of fans of your original work reaches a certain level, you don’t have to care about the views and opinions of passer-by fans at all.
Because only relying on fans of the original works, your works are enough to become popular all over the world, so why are you still pleasing fans of passers-by?
This is true for Angry Birds, and the same is true for the famous Three-Body Problem. The original IP is too well-known, and the fan base is too deep.
In this case, instead of trying hard to win fans from passers-by, it is better to go down to the direction of fans and make fans of the original work happy.
The Three-Body Problem TV series is exactly like this.
Even if you don’t do anything, you don’t want to make mistakes! It is much better to change it according to the original novel than to mess around and ruin the reputation of the entire IP.
There is a problem with Ma Kui’s thinking.
He still uses original ideas to treat “Angry Birds”, a super IP adaptation project that has a very high reputation and popularity.
It’s definitely not going to work…
Original animations have original animation methods, unknown small IP adaptations, it’s okay to use original ideas to do it, but IP adaptations with a solid foundation of popularity and fans all over the world are another solution.
Fans to!
This is the clear path that Gu Miao pointed out to Ma Kui. As long as you follow this direction, the animation is unlikely to die violently.
Ma Kui probably listened.
Although he was still talking hard, clamoring that he could find a way to make passers-by fans and game fans “happy”, but in the bottom of his heart, he had already approved Gu Miao’s proposal.
“Good job!”
“When this animation is finished, your reputation will spread overseas!” Gu Miao encouraged, “By then, the whole world will be shouting your name, and you will be the animation King in everyone’s mind!”
“You can pull it down…”
Ma Kui didn’t believe Mr. Gu’s words. Although “Angry Birds” could make him famous overseas, what kind of animation king is this?
Really want to comment on the animation King, the eight-time Oscar winner, is Dave, the animation director of “Tom and Jerry”, more qualified than him?
Take a step back.
Even if the “Angry Birds” animation is very successful and has received numerous praises overseas, no one will think that it is due to Ma Kui.
He was just lucky and picked up such a world-renowned big IP as “Angry Birds”.
I can do it too!
There is such a good opportunity to be famous and show off, why doesn’t Mr. Gu do it himself, and let him have the opportunity?
Ma Kui rolled his eyes.
Regardless of how wonderful “Angry Birds” is described by Mr. Gu, there is one problem that cannot be avoided.
Like this kind of super IP, the filming is the credit of the original work. The game is already very famous, and you just got a ride.
It’s your fault if you miss the shot…
Such a great IP, someone else’s game is so good, but the animation turned out to be so poor, how dare you say you were wronged?
This is the trouble of adapting a big IP!
If there is a choice, Ma Kui would rather make an original animation like Hou Bin, than take over the adaptation and production of some super big IP.
Pure thankless!
Unfortunately, he didn’t have a choice. He received the salary offered by Mr. Gu, so he had to listen to Mr. Gu’s arrangement, unless he didn’t want to continue working in Wanbao.
“People are ugly and complain a lot…”
After Ma Kui left, Gu Miao said with some emotion: “It’s rare to have such an opportunity, and I’m still picking and choosing. I really don’t know how hungry a man is when he’s hungry.”
He can guarantee it!
If rumors are released and directors are screened from the outside world, then Wanbao will definitely receive no less than a hundred resumes.
Domestic animation directors who are willing to take over the project of “Angry Birds” can line up from the city center to the outer ring…
You don’t know your blessings when you are in the blessings!
The rapid development of Wanbao in recent years has made many people inflated. Even the adaptation of a big IP like “Angry Birds” is actually disgusted by some people?
Haven’t suffered the double beating of “Haiwa” and “Quiba”, have you?
How long has passed, and I have forgotten so soon, what was the previous Wanbao animation like?
If you don’t remember these things, let’s take a look at domestic friends and merchants. Without the conditions and strength of Wanbao, what kind of life do they live.
Fortunately, there is a Wanbao!
But the tragedy is that there is only one Wanbao, and the rise and revival of domestic animation still has a long way to go.
