Chapter 49: Embarrassing Little Video
Picture ratio is important.
In the past, most of the old TVs were square "big butts". In order to accommodate this screen size, there is also a 4:3 aspect ratio.
The same goes for animation.
Viewers who like to watch old animations generally know that once early animation works are played with a "player", there will be obvious "black bars", resulting in the screen not being able to cover the screen.
Why is that?
Of course, it's because the 4:3 aspect ratio is a bit "shorter" than 16:9.
With the development of the times, widescreen LCD TVs are becoming more and more popular, not to mention foreign countries, there are already many domestic TV stations, which have changed the station logo and SD channel from 4:3 to 16:9.
Obviously, 16:9 is the future.
At this time, Jiangchuan Children's Channel changed its name to Flamingo Cartoon, and also changed the station logo by the way, and actually wanted to adhere to the 4:3 picture ratio.
Gu Miao was really drunk.
It's not that the 4:3 aspect ratio isn't suitable for animation, or that it's not a good ratio.
It's just that times have changed!
The withdrawal of big-ass TV from the stage of history means that the 4:3 picture ratio has come to an end.
As an animation producer, Gu Miao naturally wants to follow the trend of the times and make the first original animation produced in 16:9 HD in China.
But the animation is made, and there must be a TV station to broadcast it!
Although 16:9 can also become 4:3 through cropping, compression, etc., the broadcast effect is definitely not as good as the native 16:9.
So he wanted to persuade Director Wang, taking advantage of the opportunity of the renaming of Jiangchuan Children's Channel, to change the channel screen ratio from 4:3 to 16:9, and by the way, enable high-definition broadcast control equipment.
Pity......
Xiao Wang is just a small deputy director, and for a major event like this, he must consult the director before he can give an answer.
In this regard, Gu Miao did not force it.
It's best if you can change it, and it doesn't matter if you can't. Anyway, 4:3 animation has been done for so many years, and it's nothing to stick to it for a few more years.
……
It's the end of November.
After 20 days of broadcasting, the animation "Lei Suden Lightning Rush" finally ushered in the final reversal of the plot.
"Obviously I'm the strongest ......"
"Brother!"
When Ling Yun couldn't accept it, he was obviously also the hero of the team competition, but he was always not as popular as his brother, and decided to leave the "Lei Sudeng" club to prove himself.
A new original character has appeared.
Louis, a "genius remote control driver" from across the ocean, unexpectedly met Ling Yun, who had just quarreled with his brother and was emotionally lost.
"Do you want to defeat your brother?"
"Try this......"
Upon learning of Lingyun's troubles, Louis gave him a mysterious "motor" and told him that as long as the Leiling was equipped with this motor, he could defeat his brother.
After Ling Yun did so, he really defeated Ling Feng in the subsequent game, and he was ashamed......
Luis is an original character for the production team, and he is a member of the "Xtreme Racing" organization. The so-called extreme racing refers to winning the race at the risk of scrapping the car.
The motor he gave to Lingyun was called "Extreme Motor".
With the use of extreme motors, the racing car can briefly push the limits and enter a so-called "overclocking" state. But overclocking comes at the cost of irreversible damage to the car.
After Lingyun got the extreme motor, he gradually forgot the original intention of "racing cars", and only wanted to win the race, and he didn't care about the damage to the car at all.
Until the final final, the Lei Ling was badly damaged and fell in front of the finish line......
This plot is quite normal.
I don't know which clever ghost turned Louis's head P into the head of "Gu Miao", and then modified the dubbing lines, and edited and spliced them into a video.
Boy.
The audience instantly stopped in Bengbu.
I saw that in the video, Ling Yun practiced racing stunts hard, and every time he made a little progress, he couldn't wait to challenge his brother Ling Feng, but he was repeatedly defeated.
At this time......
He's coming! He's coming!
The spicy man is holding a "bling" extreme motor, and in the shining BGM, he is walking towards Lingyun!
"Don't want 998, don't want 888, the new Lei Sudeng Extreme Motor is on sale today, as long as 98, the champion will take it home!"
"I buy, I buy!"
Under the bewitchment of Uncle Sanshui, Ling Yun spent a huge amount of money to buy an extreme motor, thinking that he would be at the peak of his life from now on, punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten.
Who knows!
Uncle Sanshui actually sold "fake and shoddy" products, which hurt his car and money.
At the end of the video, everyone's good friend Ling Feng appeared on the stage and admonished seriously: "Think deeply when you encounter trouble, don't be a profiteer!" Save money for ten years, play with the car for an empty ......"
Slander!
This is pure slander!
Gu Miao, who was holding a meeting with Ma Kui and others in the company, was so angry that her lungs exploded after seeing this video.
"Awkward black, huh?"
"Extreme motors, we haven't decided on the price yet! Who said this thing only sells for 98 yuan? Gu Miao said indignantly.
Ma Kui: "......"
Is price the point?
Faintly feeling that Mr. Gu did not grasp the key point of Ma Kui, he coughed and reminded: "What's that...... Mr. Gu, do you need to report the website and let them take down this video? ”
"Report, must report!"
Gu Miao waved his hand and said: "Let the author of this video reflect on it, such an excellent extreme motor is only sold for 98 yuan, what does he think of me?" ”
Video is just a trifle.
Although this video is quite popular at station B, with more than one million views, to be honest, this has little impact on the animation ratings of "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing Line" and the sales of peripheral toys.
This is not to buy a mobile phone, but also to go online to see the KOL's "Chafan Review".
How many children who buy toy remote control cars are bored and go to the Internet to watch this kind of video? Take 10,000 steps back, even if you read it?
Should buy or will buy.
Compared with this embarrassing little video, what Gu Miao really cares about is the upcoming Golden Finch Award ceremony and the year-end awards season.
The Golden Farrow, needless to say.
The Best TV Animation Award has basically locked in "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". Maybe there was a bit of suspense before, but when the official media collectively praised "Pleasant Goat Famous Overseas", everything was settled.
The key is something else.
In addition to the Golden Finch Award, there are many other awards to be presented at the end of the year! Among these awards, Pleasant Goat doesn't say that it should be okay to win a grand slam, but a TV animation "small slam", right?
Gu Miao had a dream.
When he was still a TV drama director, he was interviewed by the media once, and a reporter asked: "Why do other directors have a series of award-winning records in their resumes, but you only have seven words 'well-known TV drama director'?" ”
TMD, broken defenses.
The trophy that can't be won by filming a vulgar TV series, this time, Gu Miao wants to use animation to get it back.
