Nan Tong is a fast gunner!

Gu Miao can testify to this.

From proposing the idea of the project to the first episode of the comic, it only took him two weeks. At this speed, Gu Miao was so frightened that she almost choked to death with saliva.

How can it be so fast?

Doubting whether Nan Tong was cutting corners, Gu Miao picked up the original manuscript of the first episode of the comic and checked it carefully.

One night.

The divine dragon from another world drops a light jade and merges into a child's body.

Geng Xiaodu!

He lives in Jiangchuan, and when he was in the fourth grade of primary school this year, he accidentally picked up a strange "Jade Huang" when he passed by Shenlong Lake after school.

Because in the handicraft class, he pinched a clay robot "Ryujin", so he casually put Yuhuang on the robot.

Unexpectedly, his unintentional move actually summoned the legendary "Divine Dragon" from the Divine Dragon Lake, which frightened him and fainted on the spot.

When Xiaodu woke up again, he found himself in a village that looked like a "costume drama" filming set.

Because his name is the same as the "legendary" savior, he was regarded as a savior by the villagers, and gave him the best sword in the village, the Denglong Sword......

The first episode doesn't contain much content.

It mainly tells the cause and effect of Xiaodu's passage through another world. By the way, through the explanation of "Grandpa Gu" and "Demon Mother-in-law", the background of "Creation Mountain" was briefly introduced.

Oh yes!

There is also a "battle" scene in the first episode.

The first miscellaneous fish villain in this work, Schwarzenegger's younger brother, Schwaneger piloted the Demon God body - Battle Orangutan No. 1, and made his debut!

Schwaneger 8 Taihang ......

The loading ammunition is all "manual", and the empty ammunition has no combat ability, and the "crumb" villain who was split in half by the novice Xiaodu's sword.

There's something special about this guy!

As the first villain of the original animation of "Dragon Fighter", after his first failure, he was able to make a comeback in the battle orangutan No. 2, and he alone occupied two episodes.

I can only say, it's pretty good!

However, although Schwaneger is very special and the battle orangutan is also very handsome, Gu Miao's focus is always on the core protagonist of this work - the Dragon God.

The redesigned Ryujin retains the classic "dragon claw" and "dragon print" design on the shoulder, and the "dragon horn" on the top of the head has also been retained.

But the other parts vary a lot.

The first is the figure, compared with the original version of "no neck" and "thick head and thighs", the Wanbao version has a more balanced body proportion, and it looks more like a "chivalrous".

And not the original "samurai"!

The armor has also been optimized and adjusted to make it more "chivalrous", so that people will unconsciously associate characters such as "swordsman" and "chivalrous" when they see the Dragon God for the first time.

In the art design area......

Gu Miao may not be an expert, but he has seen many well-designed "robots" and "mechas". In terms of horizontal comparison, he felt that the Wanbao version of the Dragon God was not much worse than the original.

The difference is that one is a "Chinese knight" and the other is a "neon warrior"!

It's not a matter of which is better or worse.

"Who designed this?"

Gu Miao pointed to the Dragon God Pill in the sketch and asked Nan Tong.

"An art designer with the surname Lu."

Nan Tong said with a smile: "He not only provided the sketch design of the Dragon God, but also built a 3D model for my reference. ”

3D modeling of the Ryujin?

Gu Miao was a little surprised, she didn't expect these people to have such a big brain, and they even came up with 3D modeling.

This gave him an inspiration.

A "robot/mecha" animation like "Dragon Fighter" seems to really be able to be made into a 3D animation, after all, the theme is "robot wars"!

But if you want to do it well, you have to spend a lot of money.

Take, for example, Transformers!

The early Transformers 2D version of the animation was limited by the age and didn't actually cost much money. However, when I made the 3D version, that is, "Evidence of Leadership", I spent a lot of money.

It's not that 3D burns more money than 2D......

It's just that the "robot" theme is very special, and the quality of modeling and the smoothness of the fight have a great impact on the look and feel of the animation. Therefore, the cost of 3D animation of this theme is generally higher than that of 2D.

Of course, there are exceptions.

"Dragon Fighter" has a lot of "plays", once it is changed to a 3D version, the cost will definitely be slightly higher than that of 2D.

So Gu Miao thought about it and gave up this plan.

There's no need to change 3D for the time being!

After two years......

After Wanbao has accumulated a certain amount of family background and "Dragon Fighter" also has a certain popularity base, it is not too late to consider making a 3D version of TV animation, or even a 3D version of a big movie.

Now on the 3D version, with the accumulation of Wanbao Animation's current 3D animation technology, even if it is really made, the modeling is probably very rough and rotten, and the action is also very stiff.

Can you still watch such a 3D animation?

Be pragmatic!

Wanbao is an animation company that started in 2D, and I haven't understood the technical concept of 3D animation yet, so I'm thankful that I can do 2D well.

"The manga will be serialized next week!"

Nan Tong didn't know what Mr. Gu was thinking, and said to himself: "The content of the first season is about 45 words, and it is expected to end in mid-July this year." ”

It's fast.

At this pace, he has to serialize at least two episodes a week. For ordinary cartoonists, this is a lot of pressure, but for Mr. Nantong......

Two words a week, is it difficult?

Don't forget, he is a cartoonist who once created the miracle of "one single book in ten days". Two words a week is really not a problem for him.

The pressure came to Gu Miao's side.

Nantong Sensei is so powerful, he can't drop the chain, and he can't come up with an animation adaptation plan for a long time, right?

"It's just in time."

Gu Miao thought for a while and replied: "Around mid-April, when I come back from Neon, I will immediately start the animation adaptation of "Dragon Fighter". ”

In two days, he had to go on a trip to Neon.

Tsukinohae, the protagonist of the hit "Sailor Moon", won the first place in the annual "most popular" animated character voting event held by TBS on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

But Gu Miao didn't go to the award ceremony.

TBS is very arrogant, Gu Sang doesn't come, does he look down on me? What does it mean to have Seto collect it on your behalf?

Red bean puree private Marseille!

If the "overseer" doesn't come in person, no one will want to take this trophy away today!

If you don't send it, you won't send it, who will send it the rare TBS broken trophy? It's true that Brother Gu hasn't won an award, and you are missing this trophy decoration on the bookshelf, right?

Gu Miao originally thought so.

But when he learned that this was a vague message from TBS's senior management that he wanted to have "in-depth exchanges" and cooperate with him, he immediately booked a ticket to Neon.

Who says can't go?

Don't be embarrassed! Gu Miao never said that he was not interested in the "trophy", and he had never touched the trophy.

TBS warmly invited, and there are benefits to take, so why don't you go?
