Chapter 90: Do You Know Sun Dalu?
"Comic World" sold okay.
The sales volume not only reached Gu Miao's predetermined target, but even exceeded it slightly, which made him very satisfied.
"Is there a reward?"
"Yes!"
Facing Teacher Nan Tong's expectant eyes, Gu Miao nodded affirmatively, and then said, "What do you think of rewarding a free overtime opportunity?" ”
Is this a reward or punishment?
Nan Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Just work overtime!" I'm tired like a dog these days, and I just want to go home and get some sleep. ”
"Oh, young man!"
Gu Miao taught: "At your age, how can you sleep?" Can you make a little difference? ”
"Look at Ma Kui, who is still reading at two o'clock in the middle of the night, what do you say to improve yourself, and then look at yourself, don't you feel ashamed?!"
Nantong: "......"
What are you ashamed of?
Ma Kui reads the meeting minutes in the middle of the night, can that be called self-improvement? It's clearly a black slave who is oppressed by an unscrupulous employer, and tears are rolling in his eyes!
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
"If you have any orders, you don't have to beat around the bush so much, I will definitely do my best to do what I can do." Nantong said with a headache.
"That's the right attitude!"
Gu Miao said with satisfaction: "Let me ask you, how do you think about the fantasy world mecha-themed works that I mentioned to you a few years ago?" ”
"I'm okay with that."
Nan Tong frowned and said: "It's just that I haven't figured it out, what is the breakthrough plot you mentioned?" ”
"It's so easy!"
Gu Miao gestured: "Have you ever played a stand-alone RPG game?" Starting from the novice village, defeat all kinds of strong enemies, and finally clear the ......"
One thing has to be mentioned.
In the early days of neon animation, as long as it was a "different world" background, no matter what the subject matter was, the plot would give people a classic "Japanese RPG game" feeling.
The sense of sight is too strong!
The same is true for "The Legend of the Demon God Heroes", watching the entire animation, it feels like playing an RPG game.
The so-called "breakthrough plot" also comes from this.
There are pros and cons to this plot structure, the advantage is that the "immersion" is super strong, and the viewing experience is not much different from playing a game. Especially when the protagonist unlocks "new equipment", "new mounts" and "new skills", it feels ......
Maybe it's similar to your Internet café staying up all night and finally bursting out with a dragon slaying knife!
As for the downsides, it's also obvious.
The routine of RPG games is understood by anyone who has played it, and it is similar to the "upgrade and change map" in the online text. In the early stage, the "Supreme" blew up the sky, and in the later stage, the "Supreme" was not as good as a dog, and the real immortals were everywhere!
After watching this routine for a long time, it is inevitable that you will feel tired.
So after that, the animation of another world, although there are still some shadows of "RPG games", have basically come out of the strange circle and started to play other routines.
For example, the full-level number is settled in the novice village, and my plug-in is to attract all kinds of beautiful girls, and I don't want to be a person......
Of course!
At this time, the animation of the other world has not yet reached that point, and the RPG game-style plot is still a very popular routine among the audience.
"I roughly get it."
After listening to Mr. Gu's introduction, Nan Tong sorted out his thoughts and said: "To put it simply, there are a total of seven floors in Chuangjie Mountain, and there are several miscellaneous fish monsters on each floor, and there is also a guard boss. After the protagonist finishes beating these monsters, he will move on to the next level? ”
"That's right!" Gu Miao was very pleased.
After talking so much, Nantong's elm head is finally enlightened.
If he hadn't opened his mind, he would have wondered if he hadn't played an RPG game, or had he never read a book and couldn't understand people?
“OK! Then I'll go on ......"
After talking about the story structure, the next thing to talk about is the most important thing of this work, about the modeling design and character setting of the "Demon God Robot" in the play.
In this regard, Gu Miao made slight changes.
First of all, the name!
The names of the original "Warbe Wataru" and "Ryujinmaru" will definitely not be used anymore. Given the real-world context, a more local name had to be chosen.
Ryujin Maru is easy to do!
Directly change it to "Dragon God" or "Divine Dragon", there is no problem at all. It's really not good, and you can still use the name of the play "Dragon Fighter".
The key is the name of Xiaodu.
The early translation, which is a transliteration of "Watano", is very consistent with the original. But this sounds unseamless, and it is not as good as Liaoyi's "Xiaodu" to call it smooth.
As for the Taiwanese version of "Sun Dalu"?
Emmm……
Can you turn the page, not to mention this "shame" full, which can be called a translation like black history?
Gu Miao dared to say that anyone in charge of the translation had a normal brain, and would never be able to come up with such a strange name. Even if you don't do anything, according to the transliteration, it is called "Watano", which is a hundred times stronger than this broken name!
Speaking of which......
Xiangjiang translates the protagonist as "Feiyun", although the meaning is also unclear, but at least it is much better than "Sun Dalu".
After some careful consideration, Gu Miao finally decided to change the protagonist's name to "Geng Xiaodu".
Why is the surname Geng?
Because the pronunciation of "Geng" and "亘" is about the same, and the pronunciation of the word "亘" in Japanese is "Watano", which is the translation of the original version.
"Geng Xiaodu? Let's go! ”
Nan Tong doesn't care what the protagonist is called, whether it's Geng Xiaodu or a little ghost, it doesn't matter if it's a ghost, it doesn't matter after all. But the title of the work is worth discussing.
"Dragon Fighter!"
Gu Miao said without hesitation: "The title of the work is "Dragon Fighter", and the sequel will be released after this name, and 234 will be added to distinguish ......."
There's nothing to dwell on with this.
The original version of "Demon God Heroes", because of the word "伝", made a joke about "Demon God Heroes "Altar".
"Have you seen the Legend of the Demon God Heroes?"
"Isn't it the Demon God Hero Altar?"
"What you're looking at is a pirated version, and the genuine version is called Super Demon God Hero! There is no preaching, and there is no altar! ”
This directly led to the fact that as soon as Gu Miao saw the words "Demon God Hero" now, his head immediately became bigger, and he didn't know whether to add a word or what word to add!
It's still "Dragon Fighter"!
At least he knows every word, and he won't easily admit it, and if he can recognize it wrongly, then he can't help it.
In addition to the name change......
In the original animation, the shape of the "Demon God Robot" also has to be "localized" in accordance with the trend.
Take an example, the Ryujin!
The original Dragon God, as a "clay robot" pinched by the protagonist Xiaodu, can fight because of the golden dragon in the Seven Dragon Gods.
That design......
Full of neon samurai style!
It's not that this design is not classic or eye-catching enough, it is precisely because this design is too classic and eye-catching, and the neon warrior style is too strong, that Gu Miao needs to transform it.
How to change?
Do you still need to think about it? Of course, how to change how handsome it is, how to change how cool it is! It is best to be so handsome that the picture is blurry, so that the children are hungry......
That's how you can sell toys!
