Of course, because the story of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck is very simple, in terms of plot, Luo Yuan only needs to lay out the background a little, and there is a special screenwriter responsible for the content part

It's impossible to be a boss in everything.

In addition to this story of the mouse and the duck, Luo Yuan is also ready to let the company produce "Cat and Mouse", which is also Luo Yuan only responsible for participating in the background creation and character arrangement, and the specific plot, as long as he mentions it slightly, someone can follow his train of thought.

Luo Yuan liked that mouse when he was a child.

So in addition to foreign works, some wonderful animations in China can actually be considered, recently "Journey to the West" is in full swing shooting, maybe I can make a warm-up and let "The Legend of Nezha" be born.

In fact, Nezha is one of the most famous orthodox deities in China.

His main story comes from religious beliefs and folklore, as a righteous god who specializes in subduing demons, the specifications of his gods are quite high-level, and the traditional culture is mainly divided into three major systems:

Orthodox Taoist gods.

Folk belief in the god system.

Gods, demons, and gods.

As early as the Song Dynasty, there have been stories of Nezha in the Buddhist scriptures, such as "Five Lantern Huiyuan", "Secret Nunnery Monk Quotations", "Jingde Chuan Lantern Record", etc., even before the Song Dynasty, there was Nezha's name, although there are many Buddhist books that have Nezha's records, but Nezha is not original by Buddhism, and Nezha is not a monk, but a boy with long hair.

But......

Compared with "Journey to the West", which has a strong literary masterpiece as a foreshadowing, in the eyes of many people, Nezha's story only appears in the three chapters of "Romance of the Gods", and the popularity of this character is not high enough, after all, not everyone knows so much about traditional Chinese myths and legends, so Luo Yuan is also very happy to bring out the story of "The Legend of Nezha".

You must know that Nezha's animation is very classic.

The screenwriter did not follow "Journey to the West" or "Fengshen", but restructured the story and added characters, achieving a classic "The Legend of Nezha" that countless people remember as children, which is one of the most classic TV animations that Luo Yuan thought in his previous life, and it is much more technical than the later TV animation "Xiyangyang and Big Big Wolf", which was also a TV animation.

Moreover, it can achieve the purpose of warming up for "Journey to the West".

In the early plot of "Journey to the West", Heavenly Court sent heavenly soldiers and generals to attack Huaguo Mountain, and one of the fierce generals sent out was the third prince of Nezha, who stepped on the hot wheels, even in the description of the original book, this is also a ruthless stubble who can start a big battle with monkeys, if there is Nezha's related animation as a foreshadowing, it will definitely make Journey to the West more popular!

And it's not just Nezha.

In "The Legend of Nezha", the old dragon king's sense of existence is not low, and he is also a character who appeared in the early stage of "Journey to the West", and the golden hoop stick of the old dragon king is the monkey's future weapon......

The more I think about it, the happier I get.

In Luo Yuan's heart, Nezha's sense of existence is even stronger than the previous mice, ducks or cats, and the next task of the Crimson TV animation department is:

Make these three cartoons!

With this idea, Luo Yuan's construction visit behind him was over, and he returned to the company with everyone, and he was not in a hurry to have a meeting with the people in the TV animation department, he first drew the character setting in his office

Mouse.

Duck.

Kitty.

Dog.

Nezha and so on.

All kinds of animated characters, appeared on the straw paper in front of Luo Yuan, and fortunately, Luo Yuan is a director with quite superb painting skills, otherwise it would be a super difficult project just to copy these images, but it is not completely copying, Luo Yuan still made some changes to the character image that are more in line with the standard of oriental aesthetics, and is ready to discuss these changed images with the relevant person in charge of the TV animation department for more detailed fine-tuning.

Classics are not necessarily immutable.

Especially before this, Luo Yuan has already fine-tuned works such as "Robot Wall-E" and "Kung Fu Panda" and achieved success, he is even more convinced that many images have become classics only because people's first impressions are at work, and if those first impressions are removed, then classics can have more than one way.

The next few days.

Luo Yuan still didn't look for someone from the TV animation department, but nested in his office, perfecting the image of these characters and the story outline of the three animation works, Luo Yuan also wrote down some of his own views on the story, and will give the producer a reference when the time comes, such as "The Legend of Nezha", Luo Yuan hopes that the story style will have a bit of an epic feeling

Large-scale mythological epic animation!

This is his positioning of "The Legend of Nezha", whether it is Nezha's image or the appearance of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, there will be some connection and echo with the TV series of "Journey to the West", but the background setting of this animation is generally more inclined to the gods, and there is no "Romance of the Gods" in this world, so it can also be regarded as an original of Crimson.

He hopes that more than just children like Nezha.

Some teenagers can also watch this cartoon.

Two weeks later, Luo Yuan finally completed all this, he found the relevant person in charge of the TV animation department, and the person in charge originally thought that the boss had forgotten about it, but he was naturally overjoyed, and pulled Luo Yuan to have a long meeting that day, and in the course of this meeting, Luo Yuan divided into three teams.

One team is in charge of Mickey Mouse.

One team is in charge of cats and mice.

One team is in charge of "The Legend of Nezha".

The three teams do not interfere with each other, and each can complete a story that suits its own style, Luo Yuan is not sure which tone the children in this world prefer, and he has to cross the river by feeling the stones for many things, but in the worst case, it will not be much worse, after all, these stories have achieved unprecedented success in his memory.

"It's almost alive. ”

At dinner in the evening, Ai Xiaoai counted on her fingers, TV series, movies, music, movie animation, TV animation, and the business scope involved in Crimson basically has Luo Yuan's figure standing behind, although the degree of participation is much smaller than that of TV dramas and movies, but the story outline and character design of TV animation are already the most critical links.

"It's all for Crimson Land. ”

Luo Yuan said: "The hotels around the park have also been bought by the company, renovated, and made into the form of a theme hotel, when the time comes, we can live by ourselves, Manda is not ready to see our jokes, and when the park is completed, who laughs and who cries is not necessarily." ”
