Chapter 070. Old-fashioned subject matter

Cheng Kewei's plan on the screen clearly wrote the name of the animation.

"Madoka Magical Girl".

He hadn't read the content yet, and he was subconsciously a little confused.

The theme of magical girls can be said to be one of the most classic themes in the animation industry, from the ancient period of "Girl Valkyrie" and "Magic Card Girl", to the first two years of "Monster Thief Girl Maria", "Heavy Girl", etc., most of the girl combat animation, basically have the shadow of magical girls.

Transformation, summoning beasts, magic, these elements have become the stereotype of magical girl animation, as a theme aimed at young audiences, this type of animation is generally good and evil, the protagonist is innocent, symbolizing the most beautiful things in the world.

Cheng Ke has naturally seen the animation of the magical girl theme, but he doesn't understand why Xu Rui chose this theme.

In his opinion, what this young boss is best at should be to bring forth the new, and to use novel settings or performance techniques to attract audiences, but the magical girl theme is too old.

Cheng Ke quickly thought of the new work of the martial arts director, "The Wolf and the Cat", at the beginning of the announcement of this animation, people also felt strange, why such a talented director as Wu Yi would shoot an old-fashioned superhero animation, this kind of type of animation that can think of the plot with his toes cannot be said to be bad, but it can't meet everyone's expectations.

He also felt that the animation of the martial arts director might fail, but he didn't expect his boss to come up with an equally old-fashioned theme.

"Let's take a look at the synopsis first."

Xu Rui smiled and didn't explain more, just let Cheng Keke continue to watch.

Cheng Kewei pressed his doubts and rolled the mouse down.

The beginning of the planning is the introduction of the characters, whether it is the ordinary middle school student Lu Muyuan or the unknown creature Kewpie who falls from the sky, it is a classic setting of the magical girl theme, Cheng Kewei After reading the character setting, he was not in a hurry to turn down, but he felt a little weird.

Because the character settings are so complete.

Ignorant newcomer Lu Muyuan, Xiang Shaye, who longs to become a magical girl's friend, Ma Xingmei, a gentle and reliable magical girl senior, Xiao Yan, a cold and mysterious magical girl, and the arrogant and wild Lan Xing, these main roles cover almost all aspects of the character of the protagonist and supporting characters in the past magical girl genre films, which can be regarded as a hodgepodge.

What exactly does Xu Rui want to do?

Cheng Ke looked behind him and began to read the synopsis carefully.

At the beginning of watching it, Cheng Keke was still a little confused, because the early plots were almost all classic routines of magical girls, from meeting unknown creatures falling from the sky to being attacked by witches, and then the magical girl's predecessors helped, and the protagonist learned the truth of the world and the existence of the witch, the enemy of the magical girl, and went deep into this world step by step.

These are all classic to cliché plots, Cheng Keke originally thought that Xu Rui would be innovative, but he never saw the point that made his eyes shine.

However, everything was subverted when Cheng Ke saw the plot of the later paragraph.

"!!"

Cheng Ke even stood up directly, and his knee almost hit the corner of the table.

Because he clearly saw that Ma Xingmei, the gentle and reliable magical girl senior, was bitten off her head in the process of fighting the witch and died clearly.

GodTM's magical girl U-turn!!

Due to the influence of the magical girl animation I had seen before and the routine of the plot at the beginning, Cheng Ke didn't expect to come out of nowhere, and the whole person was in a sluggish state, just standing in place in a daze.

"Brother Cheng?"

Gao Senmiao had just come back from the original painting outside at this time, and it was very strange to see Cheng Ke standing in place like this, so he leaned over and waved his hand in front of Cheng Ke, but the other party still had no reaction.

The curious Gao Senmiao followed Cheng Ke's line of sight and found that it was a new work plan.

"Ah, is this your new work planning, boss?"

She asked.

"That's right, you guys can take a look at it first, if nothing else, we're going to be ready to start working on this after we finish working on the current anime."

Xu Rui replied, attracting the attention of several executive producers next to him.

At this time, Cheng Ke came back to his senses a little, he glanced at Xu Rui, and slowly returned to his position, the scene where the supposed innocent magical girl was suddenly bitten off her head Cheng Ke had never seen before, but Cheng Ke not only did not feel scared because of this, but suddenly had a lot more expectations for the next plot.

Xu Rui's plot synopsis is not detailed, only the rough plot is recorded, but the next unfolding still made Cheng Ke unexpected, and a trace of cold sweat even oozed from his forehead.

"This plot completely subverts the inherent impression of magical girls......"

He muttered to himself, and then, Cheng Ke saw the plot of the tenth episode.

"???"

Cheng Ke stood up again, maintaining the same movements as just now.

Originally, Cheng Ke thought that Xu Rui wanted to write a story about a dark magical girl, after all, the protagonist's companions Lu Muyuan died one by one, and there was no hope at all, but he didn't expect that in the tenth episode, the story came to a huge reversal.

has always been cold to Lu Muyuan, the mysterious magical girl Xiao Yan actually has the ability to rewrite the timeline, and Xiao Yan at the beginning, timid, cowardly, and inferior, it was Lu Muyuan, who has become a magical girl, who helped Xiao Yan grow up.

And the reason why Xiao Yan keeps reincarnating is to save Lu Muyuan!!

This kind of theme of time reincarnation did not exist in the animation industry before!

On the one hand, the reincarnation of time itself is prone to paradoxes and is difficult to justify, and on the other hand, the repetition of the plot of reincarnation is easy to make the audience bored, so no one has dared to use the elements of reincarnation in the relatively relaxed theme of animation.

Cheng Ke's impact at this time is no less than seeing a magical girl turn around!

At the end of the following, the unknown creature Kewpie revealed the truth about the magical girl and the witch, which was terrifying, and at the same time, Lu Muyuan also learned what Xiao Yan had done, and she chose to sacrifice herself to save all the magical girls in time and space.

In Cheng Ke's view, it is not difficult to describe the dark plot alone, people can witness many dark sides of humanity in their daily lives, and the difficulty is that they have experienced these darkness, but still yearn for the light, and even become the light of others.

Xu Rui's "Madoka Magical Girl" has a cliché beginning, amazing reversal, heavy plot, and an ending full of human brilliance and praise hope, although many places are contrary to traditional magical girls, but there is no doubt that this is the animation that conveys the most essential spirit of magical girls.

And what Cheng Ke saw was just a rough text introduction.

At this moment, as an old producer, Cheng Ke has only one thought in his heart.

He wants to make "Madoka Magical Girl" for everyone to see!
