Chapter 129: Redesigning Megatron
Ling Shizhe painted very slowly this time, and the painting was also very detailed, it took about an hour to finish the painting, and the characters on the painting were naturally the shocking version of Megatron. + Top + Point + Small + Say ++
Alison looked carefully at the Megatron shape on the paper, and was silent for a long time, slowly frowning, and her face turned red.
"What's wrong Alison, what's the problem?" Ling Shizhe stood aside and looked puzzled, okay, okay, no, no, what are you even popular.
Alison woke up, her face was still very red, and hurriedly said to Ling Shizhe: "Boss, if you don't get this design right, it will attract a lot of ......" Allison thought about it, and then changed her words and said: "Boss, I feel that the design of this villain Megatron is very weird, and if you don't get it right, the whole comic will fail." ”
"Reason."
Alison swallowed and cautiously pointed at the shapeshifter and said, "Boss, look at the cannon." ”
"Cannons? What's wrong with the cannon, isn't this cannon good-looking? Ling Shizhe said with a frown.
Alison's face turned even redder, and after raising her two hands for a long time, she didn't know how to explain to Ling Shizhe, and finally pointed to Megatron's deformed body in a hurry, and said, "Boss, look, cannon......**, is it**boss?" ”
……
"Ah,!" Under Alison's repeated reminders, Ling Shizhe finally figured out what Alison was trying to express, **Isn't it just the handjob that people in later generations ridiculed? It's all a very obscene metaphor, and now Ling Shizhe has completely figured out why Megatron in history failed, and he has been here for a long time, Made, damn the Japanese monkey.
In all fairness, Megatron is not a complete failure in history, first of all, the shaping of his character is a success, he is very bad and very tasteful, and the most important thing is that Megatron has that kind of flamboyant domineering, which intoxicates all Transformers fans.
Secondly, his character shape is not a failure, although the humanoid does not have the humanoid style of Optimus Prime's big brother, he can barely say it, the key is that his deformed body is a laser machine, and after the transformation, he will let the sound wave be held in his hand and hit everywhere...... Handjob, depending on how to look at it, is obscene, which can easily make children develop unhealthy associations, which is why Hasbro attracted a lot of scolding after the launch of "Transformers".
Later, he made a shocking cannon that turned into a particle cannon, huh...... In a word, it has become more obscene, the cannon terrier of the meat joke is not invented by the Chinese, the inventor is actually the Yankee, and it was later introduced to China, and there is also a joke: the artillery cooks are cuckolds, carry black pots, and look at others **.
This paragraph is actually invented by the Americans, and the black pot in it is not a common black iron pot for Chinese cooking, but refers to the aluminum-antimony alloy pot used by the United States, which is specially used by the United States to cook for soldiers. After the invention of this kind of meat joke, when Americans were fine, they often used it to ridicule others, and over time, this joke spread all over the world and became a classic joke used by people all over the world to ridicule.
This is also the reason why Alison blushes, handjob, ** metaphor, if Ling Shizhe puts this design on the market, Ambrera will definitely sit on the crater, generally comics are for children, so his content must be healthy, in addition to the comics listed in the United States are not allowed to have yellow/color scenes, meat jokes can not be had, including metaphors that will cause unhealthy associations, this is an unwritten rule of American animation, Hasbro was pushed to the forefront because of not checking.
Japan is different, his animation industry is very developed, not only for children's comics, but also for adults to read adult comics, all kinds of meat jokes and**, as well as a variety of explicit erotic/erotic shots, are even more abundant.
Megatron was created by the Japanese, even if it was the later Shockbreaker, Hasbro was also designed by the Japanese, who did not understand the rules of the game in the American comic book market at all, and Hasbro did not carefully examine the main comic book characters, so it caused the later tragedy.
Ling Shizhe sat in a chair decadently, and it was not until today that he understood the real reason why the historical "Transformers" began to be popular and was later abandoned.
It is said that Hasbro is a veteran company in the United States, and its experience in market operation is quite rich, those contents can be had, and those cannot be had, Hasbro can be said to be clear, how can it make such a low-level mistake?
After thinking about it for a long time, Ling Shizhe didn't come up with a clue, and finally he roughly estimated that it might be because Hasbro had never encountered this new type of robot transformation comic theme at all, so it lacked experience in market operation...... This is a big problem, if Megatron is just a small soldier in it, but he is the leader of the Decepticons, and he is so obscene, coupled with the deliberate smearing of competitors, and the malicious hype of the media, Hasbro is slow to react, crisis PR failure, or simply no PR at all, when the matter is serious...... It's too late, you don't see Megatron in the movie version of the later generations, and he never appeared in the image of a pistol or cannon, and it is estimated that this incident made Hasbro a lot of trouble at the beginning.
"Alison, we need to strengthen the review of the comics, and there must be no content in the comics that should not appear, and designs that should not appear, such as the Megatron I just drew."
Alison looked at the Megatron design drawing in her hand, understood what Ling Shizhe meant, nodded and said: "Boss rest assured, I understand what you mean, I will personally be responsible for this matter, and I will personally select all the reviewers to ensure that they are the most qualified, and I will personally check all the comics that will be launched, and only after I sign them, can they be launched on the market." ”
Alison ...... Won't you be too tired like this, you know, we won't just be these two comics in the future. "Alison usually has a lot of work to deal with, and Ling Shizhe will worry about getting tired of him after the review.
But Alison shook her head and said: "No boss, I think this is very necessary, we all ignore one very important thing, that is, audit, if it is not ......" Allison pointed to Ling Shizhe's painting, and continued: "We are all still in the dark, once something happens, it will catch us off guard, my wife spent some time in Hollywood before the two of us met, she knows very well the methods of this gang, they are waiting for us to make mistakes, once we make mistakes, They'll pounce like crocodiles. ”
"Wait, Alison, you say...... Your Lady...... Spent time in Hollywood before? ”
As soon as his wife was mentioned, Allison said proudly: "Yes, Tina was very beautiful when she was young, of course she is still so charming now, when she was young, her dream was to become a Hollywood star, but boss, you know how difficult it is to become a star, she struggled in Hollywood for ten years without success, and then she had to go behind the scenes, and she didn't quit Hollywood until she met me." ”
"Behind the scenes, what's being done?"
"Well, she's doing ......" Allison patted herself on the forehead and scolded, "Damn, how did I forget, Tina worked at Disney for five years as an animation reviewer, boss, comic review department I think, if you don't mind, Tina is the most suitable candidate." ”
Ling Shizhe didn't talk nonsense, and said decisively: "If your lady doesn't object, she is the person in charge of the comic review department, all animation film and television works, each issue must have her signature to be listed, and she is responsible for all of them to be redone, and she recruits them herself in terms of manpower, she is a professional, she knows who to find, and notify the public relations department and ask them to make a complete crisis response plan according to the company's animation works." ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away, but boss, what should I do about this?" Alison gestured to the blueprint in her hand.
Ling Shizhe took it and looked at it, and said, "There should be no problem with the design of Optimus Prime, this design keeps him, as for Megatron...... Forget it, we're not professionals, so let's leave it to the comics department, we just need to do a good job. ”
Allison's movements were very fast, and after leaving Ling Shizhe's office, he issued a series of orders to the company, and it only took half a day for the "Transformers" project team to be formed, Oshima Jiurang Ren Ran was the chief painting designer of the "Transformers" project, and the painting team led by him was responsible for the design of various transformer robots, including the villain Megatron, and in this half a day, Ling Shizhe designed several Transformers cartoon characters, both positive and negative, including the famous Sonic and Red Spider and others.
In the cartoon, the deformed body of the Red Spider is an F-15 fighter, and he must be authorized by McDonnell Douglas to design it, but since the success of "Top Gun", McDonnell Douglas's attitude towards Ling Shizhe will definitely change, and now Ambrera has made a "Transformers" project, as long as McDonald is not stupid, I know that this project will be successful, and McDonnell Douglas will definitely put forward excessive conditions, for example, if you want to invest in the Transformers project or something, it will be difficult for Ling Shizhe to do it. At present, China Aircraft Industry Company cannot do without the help of McDonnell Douglas, and if it does not agree, it will offend McDonnell Douglas; With the power of McDonnell Douglas in the United States, maybe in the end, Ling Shizhe will make a wedding dress for others, and he will not get anything in the end.
The Red Spider must be replaced with a deformed body, not based on the F-15, Ling Shizhe made a decision in an instant, so what is the deformed body of the Red Spider, F-22 is his prototype in later movies, but in Ling Shizhe's opinion, this design is a failure, and it is okay to become F-22, but once it becomes a human form, how ugly this Red Spider is to look at it, like how handsome the Red Spider is in the animated version, the movie version? Forget it, after talking about King Kong in the movie version, it is not suitable to appear in the anime version, once the audience's three views appear, they will all be destroyed, and the movie version of the red spider was marked with a big X by Ling Shizhe.
First of all, the Su-35 fighter and the F-15 fighter are very similar in shape and structure, so that the Red Spider does not need to make too many changes in structure and shape, just make some adjustments in the details.
Secondly, because there are not too many changes, whether it is the appearance of the character or the transformation method, it can be based on the cartoon of the previous life, which not only retains the classic image of the red spider to the greatest extent, but also promotes the future fighter of his company by the way, and the comic "Top Gun" will also follow the income.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this plan was feasible, so I set up an easel, and a SU-35 version of the Red Spider slowly became a line under Ling Shizhe's pen......
