Chapter 201: Theme Song and Penguin Blockade [A Bigger Chapter]
Spark Company.
In the chairman's office, the light was dim, the projector beam was constantly flickering, and the gray curtains blocked the glass window behind Zhang Fan.
All around, female colleagues such as Gao Tingting and Xia Xiaotian sat around the sofa, male colleagues such as Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang leaned against the wall or desk, and Xuejun hugged her little cousin Wenwen and Zhao Meimei in the pile of beauties......
All eyes were fixed on the projection canvas.
At this moment, the canvas is playing the first episode of the animation of "Super Marines", and the last scene:
The protagonist Ah Tian defeated the bad boy Ah Long with his own 'Rubik's Cube Transformation Machine Qì Man' and won back his own machine Qì Man football field for his partners.
Ah Long did not admit defeat today, and made an agreement with the protagonist Ah Tian: meet in a week at the 'Machine Qì People Competition'!
After Aaron and the bodyguard left in the car, the protagonist's brother Afan came to the venue on a maglev scooter with a metal box on the car and a big yellow cat lying on the box.
Screen switch to the protagonist's home:
The posthumous photos of his parents flashed by, and Ah Tian has been curious about the metal box in his brother Afan's arms since he returned home. The front of the box: there is a raised bright gold big white logo: (●—●).
Hearing his younger brother's question, Fan smiled and put the metal box on the ground and pressed the big white logo button:
I saw that the lid of the box was coolly deformed, and then a three-meter-tall big white 'popped out' from the box, blinking and looking at Ah Tian.
Suddenly, there was a tacit laughter in the office. Such a humorous way of meeting successfully attracted the attention and attention of all the viewers present.
Canvas:
Three seconds after meeting, a green beam of light shot out from Dabai's eyes. Scan the daze Ah Tian.
After all identities are verified. Da Bai walked up to Ah Tian with his calves. Said: "Hello, my name is Dabai. I'm your health machine. (Japanese)
……
At this point, the total length of the video is 19 minutes and 30 seconds.
Bang Bang Bang –
There was crisp applause in the office.
Zhao Wenwen, the youngest member of the audience, was the first to applaud, even though she still couldn't read too many words and couldn't understand the original Japanese voice in the anime. But the appearance of Dabai still made the little guy cheer and applaud happily!
"Great white! Sister Xiaojun, Sister Meimei, look at Dabai! Dabai appears in the cartoon!! ”
"Heh......" Wenwen cheered cutely. Causing everyone to chuckle.
Xuejun hugged her and looked at Zhang Fan with a smile, Zhao Meimei said excitedly with a half-red face: "Brother Fanzi, how long will this "Super Marines" be broadcast?" Will it be put online? I really want to see it again! ”
"It shouldn't be too far."
Zhang Fan took the remote control, looked around and said with a smile: "I think this 'trial sample' is very good." The art style is more realistic than traditional Japanese anime, and it can be seen that Minako has absorbed the design elements of our company. The absorption of elements of American comics and Disney animation is also great! The details and tones of each frame make people feel very bright. ”
"Hmm!" Gao Tingting picked up the coffee and said while drinking: "The level of this episode of animation is quite high. And the painting style has its own uniqueness, which is completely in line with the market positioning of our "Super Marines......"
"I think after the launch, it will definitely attract a large number of anime fans......"
"Overall, I can give 7.8 points to the overall design of the painting style! With the image of Dabai, it can reach 8.5 points! It's a lot better than the manga trial draft that Minako took out last year. ”
"I think it's good, too!"
Zhou Yang crossed his arms and said: "I can't say how I feel about the painting style, I just think that the animation is quite high-grade." It's much better than the 'shoddy' like the joy and blue cat. ”
"I think the content of the first episode is very good: a wonderful game of machine qì people. Open the action theme elements of the Super Marine Corps machine qì ......"
Then through the guò game, leading to the little rival character of Aaron. With the help of him, he led to the ...... of 'the machine qì people contest in a week'"
"The whole episode: the simple and clear development of the story line. In the main content, some of the details of the branch lines are also very well designed......"
"For example: Aaron's identity as a supporting role. He has bodyguards by his side, but he has no partners and friends, and he comes to the stadium to disrupt the game, which is more like making friends. Or he has a hint of contradiction psychologically, wants to be friends with Ah Tian, and is not convinced that the protagonist Ah Tian is technically talented ......"
"This character is actually very vivid when carefully analyzed. I guess his father must have been a villain, or a quasi-villain. In this way, the feelings of Aaron's character can be enriched in the future. ”
Gao Tingting smiled: "Isn't it very similar to when you were a child?" ”
Everyone smiled, and Zhou Yang said: "When I was a child, I was really similar to Ah Long, and I always imagined myself as a handsome guy like 'Liuchuan Feng' in "Slam Dunk". ”
"Hahaha......" The office laughter spread, and Xiao Wenwen also laughed happily.
……
Xia Xiaotian said: "There is another detail, that is: the posthumous photos of the protagonists Ah Tian and Ah Fan's parents. I think this may be the biggest foreshadowing in the cartoon! ”
"Everyone looks at the last frame of the animation, how warm the smile of the boss incarnated Afan!"
"Looking at the standard image of a warm male brother, I estimate that in the end, he will reverse the plot and become the villain of the villains, the leading brother of the big brothers!"
"This is in line with the identity of our boss!"
Everyone laughed when the words fell, and they all turned their eyes to Zhang Fan.
Wenwen broke away from Xuejun's arms and stood in front of Zhang Fan, pinching her waist and saying, "Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Brother Zhang Fan is a good person! Is it Brother Zhang Fan?
"Not bad!" Zhang Fan picked up Wenwen and swept over everyone: "I'm a good person!" If I turn into a villain, I'll kidnap you one by one......"
Before she finished speaking, Li Li suddenly interrupted: "The boss has a very good plot!" ”
"You can design a big plot twist: Ah Tian and his teammates defeat a certain big bad guy and slowly investigate the ...... That scoundrel is a little footfoot! There was technical support for him. This person is Afan! ”
"The reason why Afan became a villain is because of the death of his parents......"
"Of course, the boss is such a big villain, how can he shoot lightly! That's why we need to be accomplices of the little minions, and we and the boss also form a 'supervillain alliance'. In order to collect something important. ”
But in the end, the protagonist still wins the boss. Then lead to the other big villains! ”
"Xiao Wenwen is so supportive of the boss. In the future, I will design you to be the little villain next to the boss! The little blush is so cute...... How about being codenamed 'Little Apple'? ”
"I'm not a little villain!" Xiao Wenwen pinched her waist and fought back. There was laughter all around.
Gao Tingting teased: "Why aren't you a villain!" I sue you! The boss is the number one bad guy. He never gives us money when he works overtime, and he doesn't give his sister food every day, do you think he's a bad guy? If you don't listen to your sister, you're a bad guy too! ”
"I'm not going to be fooled!" Xiao Wenwen hugged Zhang Fan and said, "If my brother doesn't give you money, it must be that you don't work well!" Don't study hard! Also, sister, you are white and fat, eat less for your good! ”
"Hahaha......" everyone's laughter was completely released!
Zhang Fan squinted at Gao Tingting and said with a smile: "Not bad." Eat less for your own good. You will refrain from restraint later. ”
Gao Tingting laughed ashamedly when she heard this, and threatened Xiao Wenwen to take her home. In a moment, the office becomes a sea of laughter and frolic.
Looking at everyone's smiles, Zhang Fan unexpectedly remembered a future broadcast he had heard, which mentioned:
"In 2013, Dabai launched 5 smart devices, in addition to Dabai S5, Dabai tablet, router and health watch, there is also a mid-range mobile phone called 'Little Apple V1'."
And mentioned that the Little Apple brand comes from an important character in "Super Marines". As soon as his cute and playful image debuted, it was loved by the majority of "Super Marines" fans......"
"Future Spark also cooperated with well-known musicians to create a "Little Apple Song" specifically for 'Little Apple'. It recorded 200 million views in five days. ”
"So...... Is the prototype of the little apple of "Super Marines" mentioned in it Wenwen? ”
Come to think of it. The smile on the corner of Zhang Fan's mouth was even stronger.
……
Towards 4 p.m., the laughter in the office ended.
Xuejun knew that Zhang Fan was going to discuss business with everyone, so he left Xinghuo with his two little cousins.
At this time, Zhang Fan was discussing with everyone the introduction of "Super Marines" and the Chinese version of zuò, as well as the theme song of the anime.
According to the progress of the work sent from Japan:
The first season (20 episodes) of the "Super Marines" manga has been completed, and the first three episodes of the anime have also been produced.
What's missing now is the opening and ending theme songs. TAC proposes to use the English version, which is more in line with the definition of the internationalization of Super Marines.
Of course, they still have to listen to Xinghuo, the investor, in the end.
On the other hand, there are the issues of 'introducing Chinese', 'Chinese dubbing' and 'distribution'.
……
"What do you think?"
Zhang Fan leaned against the table and said, "I think it's good to use the English theme song. ”
"According to the theme idea of "Super Marines", the theme song of Chinese and Japanese is not suitable, and the language does not show the "cool" in the 'machine qì people sci-fi action theme'."
As he spoke, Zhang Fan's mind flashed: "Immortal", the theme song of "Super Marines" that he heard on the radio in the past.
"When choosing the style of the English theme song, I tend to prefer the kind of electronic rock, explosive and rhythmic music. ”
"This kind of music can easily ignite the audience's emotions and can greatly unleash the 'cool' and 'team youth' in our animation elements! A good theme song can provide us with a great bonus in the promotion of animation! ”
Feng Hong nodded and said, "I support the boss to build yì." The owner said it well! If our anime theme song can become a popular pop song, it will not only add points to the animation, but also deepen everyone's love for anime and the impression of our brand. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan, a Chinese Canadian, became excited and said: "If you choose the English rock theme song, I really like the songs in the 'Goatskin Band' and their band's self-titled album "Suede" are all great! ”
"And the British 'Queen' is also very good!"
"Boss, you must have heard the song "Wewillrockyou" (We're going to rock you), right? Super exhilarating! I still have this song on my phone! ”
……
The song "We Will Shake You" she said was written by Queen in 1977 and released in early 1978.
The melody of the whole song is simple, the applause and drum beat are the soul of the whole song, and the interspersed with electric guitar makes the song magnificent and has a strong 'collective consciousness'!
It coincides with the 'teamwork' in "Super Marines".
"We Will Shock You" has endured since the creation of the last century and has been used with large stadium openings and concert openings. It has been covered by countless international stars.
"I can't see that our Ms. Zhou is so cool!"
Zhou Yang said excitedly: "I also like the song of the queen very much. Boss, I think if this song is re-adapted, it's good to be a war song of "Super Marines", just listening to the lyrics of "We will shock you" is cool! ”
"It coincides with our Spark team spirit! If it is used as the opening music of the June 6 Fan Festival, it will definitely ignite everyone at the scene! Think of a thousand people clapping and shouting at the same time. Damn, I'm so excited! ”
"Haha......" The excitement of the crowd was also mobilized, brainstorming about the theme song and the band candidates.
In the middle, Zhou Yuan excitedly played the song "Wewillrockyou" on her mobile phone for everyone to audition.
Even Li Jianguo, Zhang Fan and others, who don't often listen to English songs, were stimulated by the 'shocking drums and applause' in the song, and their emotions were instantly driven by the song.
After a heated discussion, everyone felt that "Wewillrockyou" could be adapted into a "Super Marines" war song interlude.
The theme song and ending song were composed by the 'Linkin Park Band'. This construction was proposed by Gao Tingting.
After listening to the Lincoln band's songs, everyone felt that their style was very close to the 'cool elements' that "Super Marines" wanted to show.
When everyone discussed, Xia Xiaotian also had a sudden inspiration and asked the other party to create: integrate the ringtone of the big white mobile phone into the theme song as the beginning melody or the ending melody.
So:
The big white elements are integrated into the animation theme song, and the animation theme song sets off the image of the mobile phone and the big white machine. Invisibly integrate the big white culture with the animation of "Super Marines"!
As soon as Zhang Fan, Zhou Yang and others heard this, they immediately adopted Xia Xiaotian's construction and wrote the "big white bell" into the creative requirements.
In fact, the image of the big white bell is the best melody elaboration on the image of the big white machine. It can also be provided to the music creation team, and it can also bring them creative inspiration and accurate creative ideas.
……
After finalizing the creation of the theme song, everyone wanted to continue to discuss issues such as "the introduction of cartoons", "the Chinese version of the Super Marine Corps", and "the copyright cooperation with the grand www.biquge.info of the Fun Pavilion for the novel".
But he didn't want to blink an eye It was already 6 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Fan interrupted his reluctant partner and put the problem for discussion tomorrow.
Otherwise, they keep discussing it, and the partners outside are 'embarrassed to get off work'.
At half past six, when everyone was talking about the topic of "Super Marines" and preparing to leave the company. Qian Yutang's cold words made everyone smile at the same time.
"Boss, there's news that Penguins are going to ban us!"
