Chapter 41: An Overview of the Ghost Talent
Miss Mihara quickly brought the original drawing paper and pencils.
After Gu Xue took it, she thought about it for a while, lowered her head and began to draw.
Just what I said to Misawa Guang, Gu Xue felt that it was not clear, although the magical girl was barely a witch, but the witch-themed animation proposed by Gu Xue, "Little Witch Academy", one of the representative works of the Earth Trigger Society, was not the same thing as a magical girl at all.
The character design of "Little Witch Academy" is more inclined to the American comic style.,The style is also very American.,At a glance,It feels like a sub-supply animation in Europe and the United States.,But there's a strong Japanese animation flavor in it.,The two styles are blended together.,Before you get used to it,It's going to feel awkward.。
That's why the work of the Trigger Club is called Moe Two Filter.
Misawa Hiroshi felt very awkward, he looked at the characters that were rapidly forming under Gu Xue's pen, and whispered: "This style ...... It feels too American, right...... It's a witch, right? ”
Gu Xue is painting the protagonist of "Little Witch Academy" Yake, as well as her two roommates Lottie and Susie.
The three of them wore tall conical hats, dressed in college-style robes, and stood together with brooms, because the faces and hair lines of the characters looked relatively simple, and they did look like a beautiful comic style, and it was natural not to get used to it at first.
Gu Xue, who was sketching the outline of the academy on the paper, looked up at him, "It's okay if you call it a witch, anyway, the character prototype is those old women with hooked noses in Western fairy tales, I just drew it a little cute......"
"Eh......" Hiroshi Misawa had an expression of "Is it really okay to do this?"
In his impression, shouldn't a witch be the kind of girl who has an innocent personality and shouts to transform, and her appearance will become gorgeous and fancy, what the hell is it taken from a witch......
Gu Xue also understood Misawa Guang's concerns, and chuckled: "Actually, in essence, it is no different from a magical girl, it is a story about a girl who can use magic, but the background of this story is different from the magical girl animation on the market, similar to Harry's ......"
Gu Xue originally wanted to say that "Little Witch Academy" is a magical fantasy theme similar to Harry Potter, but at the critical moment, she remembered where Harry Potter came from in this world......
Gu Xue paused for a while, and couldn't think of any similar animations or film and television dramas on the market, so she simply said directly: "...... You can simply understand that what I want to tell is a story about a Western fantasy theme. ”
“…… So what exactly is it talking about? Hiroshi Misawa asked.
Gu Xue was silent for a moment, pointed to the Gothic-style building on the paper, and said, "Do you know the campus-themed animation?" ”
"Hmm."
"You know magic, right?"
"Hmm."
"You know the dragon, right?"
"Hmm."
"What about the dungeons in RPGs?"
“…… Well. ”
"This story is about a group of little witches living happily in a famous school that cultivates witches, but one day on the subject of going to the dungeon to explore, there was a problem, and a student accidentally released the ancient dragon, the college was in crisis, and then the heroine at the end of the crane eliminated the dragon and saved the story of the academy."
Gu Xue finished speaking in one breath, and then proudly put on an expression of "simple".
What a ...... Overview of the ghosts.
“…… The story is too simple, isn't it? But there are so many elements! Hiroshi Misawa couldn't help but complain.
After listening to Gu Xue's story, Chisa Mihara didn't speak, if it was Misawa Hiroshi, she would say that if she wanted to do a witch theme, it would be better to be a magical girl that is common on the market, and it would be easier for the audience to accept it, please think carefully about such words, but it was Gu Xue who put forward this idea, and she subconsciously felt that it was quite reliable......
It's good that Hiroshi Misawa doesn't know what she thinks, otherwise it would be just a lemon again......
"I know what you want to do." Gu Xue looked at Misawa Guang's entangled expression, and said with a smile, "Isn't it the kind of animation that is deep, full of force, and preferably a metaphor or something?" ”
Hiroshi Misawa was said to be in his heart, and smiled, feeling a kind of honey embarrassment.
It's as if someone else found out about being a secondary disease.
"Although I have no objection to you doing this type of animation, you have to know that the duration is only more than 20 minutes, how can you express the story in your mind in this limited time? It's very simple, just like what you want to do in a space fighter movie, you always have to introduce the background, right? After all, who knows what space is like in your story. You want to introduce mecha too, right? After all, ordinary audiences generally don't have too specific concepts about mechas, and there are characters and the like, these settings that the audience is not familiar with at all, you throw them out one by one, and people don't want to watch it. ”
"If you do animation,Make a person happy.,Pure animation,It's also a great thing.,Blindly pursuing what artistry.,It's simply putting the cart before the horse.,You can't say that the cart is upside down...... It's just,I think,At least for now,,You don't have the ability to make the animation you have in mind.,Although what I'm saying is a bit ugly.,But you should know very well.,You really don't have much experience.。 ”
"At this time, wouldn't it be better to choose some elements that the audience is familiar with, such as dragons, magic, and academies, and almost as soon as others are mentioned, they can have a general idea, and make a good work that most audiences can accept, and can quickly enter the story, and after watching it, they will only simply think that the animation is really good?"
Gu Xue said a lot in one breath.
She has seen a lot of people like Hiroshi Misawa before, this kind of person just thinks too much, but he doesn't have the ability to match it, and if he is self-aware, he will choose to take a step back and compromise a little. If not, then you have to hit the south wall and get a little injured before you wake up.
Misawa was silent for a long time, smiled bitterly, and said, "...... I'm convinced by you, but I still want to think about it, and I'm not rejecting your suggestion, but can you tell the story of the witch in a little more detail, such as writing a rough original story or drawing a little more set art, and now you have no specific concept of what you tell in a few words. ”
“…… Okay. Gu Xue nodded.
After all, the overseer is him, and he still has to agree to what he does.
Gu Xue lowered her head and continued to paint, but she hadn't painted much before she thought of something quite important, raised her head, and said suspiciously: "Anyway, why am I doing these jobs?"
Hiroshi Mizawa: "......"
Chisa Mihara: "......"
"I'm here to discuss whether or not I want to join this project, right? Why did it suddenly become a topic of discussion, and I wrote the original case? The more Gu Xue thought about it, the more wrong it became, "Anyway, I haven't agreed to participate in this project yet, right?" ”
