Dong Ding was surprised by He Xi's dubbing, but at the same moment, Alice on Comic Island did not make a fuss about it.

Having listened to the dubbing as early as the time of recording, she is now counting the numbers silently in her mind, and when the first episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is aired thirds of the way, she fully understands Meng Huo's worries before the anime airs.

"I see......" she said suddenly, "there are indeed a lot of characters." ”

The anime hasn't finished yet, but judging from her silent counts, the characters with subtitles showing their names and identities in the anime have exceeded double digits: at the beginning of the training arena there were two prominent guest characters, an ace pilot performing on the field, then four Gundam pilots, several characters in the ship commanding the four Gundams, and a banquet at the orbital tower......

Note that these are characters with subtitles, not ordinary passers-by, and there are more passerby characters.

An anime usually doesn't give passers-by subtitles to introduce his identity, which means that the characters that have appeared so far in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 are likely to be important characters.

"Will these characters be used throughout the show?"

Alice asked, pointing to a character on TV that said 'Wang Liumei'.

"Hmm." Meng nodded his head, he will not introduce some small characters meaninglessly, and the characters who currently appear and have subtitles will run through the whole play, in other words, they can all be regarded as the protagonists of the world of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".

"It's not over yet, there are still some ...... ahead"

Meng Shu added.

Alice secretly said: "Fortunately, this is not a novel, if there are so many characters at the beginning of a novel, it is estimated that few people can watch it." ”

She fully understood Meng Shu's concerns. Any story, whether it's a novel or an anime or something else. In fact, it is very important to start by letting the reader get used to it quickly. The number of characters is also quite exquisite.

The reader is not the author, he is completely unfamiliar with a story until he sees it. If you put the characters at the beginning, then don't tell the story, the characters alone are enough to confuse the reader.

"Why, you don't have that much confidence now, do you?" Meng Shu looked at Alice with a smile: "I guess you don't remember these characters either, right?" ”

Alice nodded: "If I hadn't looked at the list of voice actors, seeing this, I guess I would not be able to remember more than eight people." ”

In less than twenty minutes. There are so many characters pouring out of the first episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", and the scenes change quickly, it is good to remember eight, Alice believes that the vast majority of viewers, the number of characters who can remember their names for the first time will not exceed five.

"But I think I'm right." However, Alice laughed again, and she leaned her body towards Meng Xu: "I think you need to take a break, you may have fallen into the maze of the maker recently, this is an animation." It doesn't matter if you can't remember the name. ”

After understanding the reason for Meng Huo's concern, Alice knew that Meng Huo's mentality was a little restless.

In fact, Meng Huo's idea was correct. For comics and novels, if the number of characters in one appearance is too large, it does affect the reader's understanding. But for animation, it's not a big problem, and it doesn't matter if you can't even remember the character's name.

The characters of the animation are shown in a fixed visual way, and the appearance of the characters is more prominent than the text, as well as the black and white comics, and the characteristics of each person are very fixed, and it will not be confusing if you don't know the name, and it will not affect the reader's viewing, and after watching it for a long time, the reader will naturally remember it.

There are too many elements that make up animation, music, dubbing, graphics, and plot, all of which are indispensable. And in animation, the name of the character is not a big deal. I don't remember my name and I still look like it, I don't remember my appearance and my voice actor, I don't remember my voice actor and ......

All in all, even if a lot of characters are inserted at the beginning, the viewing of the animation can be maintained, and the audience will be attracted to watch it. And as long as the plot is excellent, the audience doesn't bother to care about your character's name......

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Meng Shu not to know about this.

The reason why he is worried is undoubtedly the mentality of the maker...... The so-called mentality of the maker means that he is familiar with the plot and other settings of the whole work, and the most critical story fun in the process of making zuò will rapidly decline in his heart, thus magnifying other problems by himself.

Take the current broadcast of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" as an example, the audience saw it for the first time and thought it was very fresh, but in the process of making zuò, Meng Shu had already repeated the plot of the first episode no less than 100 times, and the fun had long since disappeared.

He didn't feel much fun, so he naturally began to care about other things, and the confusion about whether the number of appearances was too large magnified in his heart.

"Animation still depends on the story after all, and the story of this episode is very good, and it won't be a problem." Alice leaned against Meng Shu and squinted slightly at the animation: "You've come to this time too......"

A few years after his debut, Meng Huo began to get tired - maybe he didn't notice it himself, but his fun was decreasing, and he began to enter a new stage where every creator would enter, and now it was just the beginning.

Alice was a little nerve-wracking, Meng was so perfect, he had maintained a strong passion for the comic book business for several years, and she thought that he would keep it forever. However, no matter what kind of business you have, as long as you do it for a long time, there will be a period of fatigue.

"Maybe it's too tight......," she thought to herself, but in fact, this matter was not Meng Huo's personal problem, but also the carelessness of Phoenix Company.

The cartoonist is too diligent in his work, and even his life has nothing but comics, day after day, year after year, even if he has holidays, he has to maintain the update of comics, such a job, even a god can't maintain enthusiasm.

Meng Shu hasn't noticed it yet, but he's already starting to get into a period of burnout.

Alice felt very tricky, when it was not good, but at this time. The next year will be the year that Phoenix needs to regret the most, and it is also the year that keeps him busy, and it is impossible for him to stop resting, but if it continues like this, the situation will get worse.

It is estimated that after a while, Meng Shu himself can feel that his enthusiasm is fading. If he doesn't straighten out his mentality and continue to work like this, his love for comics will slowly fade - without passion and love, will he still stay at Phoenix?

Alice felt unlikely, because he was not someone else, but a multi-talented one.

It's a pity that he doesn't need to rely on comics to survive, with his talent, no matter which industry he can mix. In fact, even if he withdraws now, his assets are enough to make him chic for the rest of his life.

"What should I do......

Alice suddenly thought so, she didn't mind Meng Shu withdrawing. Meng Shu is also a fairly independent person, he maintains his current life with enthusiasm and love, but as long as these two things disappear, there is a high probability that he will be the shopkeeper.

If he stopped drawing comics and making animations, it would be Huaxia who would be lost, not him and Alice. Alice could still accompany Meng Shu to do other things he wanted, and she thought that life would be pretty good, but ......

"......" turned her head slightly to look at Meng Shu's face, and Alice suddenly remembered the paintings she had seen him a few years ago, and the loneliness on his face at that time.

She suddenly thought that she should protect Meng Huo, protect his love for comics, and for Meng Huo, who was still enthusiastic then and still - she couldn't let Meng Huo lose this love in the future.

"I have to solve this problem, if I don't do this, the regret he tore off the drawing paper will never be realized......"

Although it is not yet known what method will be used to solve this potential problem, Alice wants to protect the current Meng Huo, not only so that he can one day go all out to create a stunning work, but also so that he can always stay happy.

It's quite rare to have a thing to love about, and if Meng Shu doesn't have a love for comics, can he find anything else that he can love so much?

Alice hopes that he can live with such enthusiasm for the rest of his life. (To be continued......)
