Martial arts is the romance of the Chinese people.

I believe that there are many people who have had a "heroic dream" of fighting invincible opponents all over the world when they were children, and they are nicknamed the head dog in the rivers and lakes.

And many more......

Maybe you've seen it, martial arts-themed TV series, movies, or or. was amazed by all kinds of "miraculous skills", and was full of yearning for the "rivers and lakes" that were happy and hateful, and had clear love and hatred.

But all along, martial arts have been average in the field of animation.

This kind of general,Actually, it's a more subtle statement.,To be honest.,There are only a few martial arts animations that can be used.。

"Qin Shi Mingyue" series, "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", "Xia Lan" and "Chinese Kid" and so on.

The scope is a little bigger, and "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Adventures of Jackie Chan" can also be regarded as martial arts animations.

But this is not accurate.

Because martial arts first emphasizes the word "chivalry", followed by "martial arts". Many animations may have a bit to do with "martial arts", but they can't be called "martial arts" animations.

Guo Hongwei wants to shoot martial arts animation.

I have to say that this ideal is beautiful and worthy of encouragement. But as his master and guide, Gu Miao didn't support him very much.

Whether martial arts are dead or not, it's hard to say.

But in the field of animation, the martial arts theme, especially the "pure martial arts" theme, is indeed half-dead, and it can even be said that half of the body is in the ground.

What's not good, I just can't think of doing martial arts animation, is that what you can do?

What happened to the rainbow cat and blue rabbit?

What happened to Xia Lan and the Chinese boy?

Unless it can be as successful as the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series, or reach the "international style" of "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Adventures of Jackie Chan", what future can it have?

"Have you read the news some time ago?" Gu Miao asked.

"Which news?"

"An animation company bought the copyright of Master Jin's classic martial arts with a lot of money to create a milestone work of martial arts animation adaptation."

"See."

Guo Hongwei nodded and said, "I think it's good!" Could it be ...... Master, are you not optimistic about this project? ”

"Not optimistic."

Gu Miao shook her head and said.

This is the dream of martial arts! Buried batch after batch of animation people, as a result, the bloody lessons are in front of you, and there are batches of newcomers who don't believe in evil and have to give it a try.

There is a phenomenon that is very strange.

Take Jin, a well-known martial arts author in Xiangjiang, as an example, his works have been adapted many times, and TV series, movies and so on have emerged in endlessly.

The adaptation results are pretty good.

The TV series is particularly prominent, and the classic shooting trilogy has been remade countless times by major directors, and the ratings are still high.

But right......

After his work was adapted into animation, his grades never got up. Even many fans don't know that there is an "anime" version of his work.

Didn't expect that, right?

When Gu Miao first learned the news, he was also shocked. On the one hand, I was shocked that there was an animated version, and on the other hand, I was shocked that the popularity of the animated version was so low?

Take the well-known martial arts "The Withered Heroes" as an example, it was adapted by a neon animation company, and it took more than 70 episodes for three seasons to be filmed, but there was no splash at all.

Has anyone seen it in China?

Yes, there must be, and there must be many viewers in Xiangjiang and some coastal provinces who have seen it. But in terms of popularity, it is really pitiful, I'm afraid it's not as good as "Xia Lan".

Not to mention the martial arts big IP animation works such as "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" and "Qin Shi Mingyue".

Why is that?

"The Withered Heroes" is in China, I dare not say that everyone has watched the original work, at least the TV series is very popular, most people have watched it, right?

Not everyone has seen the original work, but at least they have heard of it and know what the general plot is.

So why is the animated version so deserted and no one knows?

Gu Miao analyzed the reason.

On the one hand, it's because of the lack of publicity, so not many people know about this animation at all. On the other hand, the producer overestimated the children's enthusiasm for the "martial arts" theme.

That's why.

Gu Miaocai is not optimistic about the news that a domestic animation company buys martial arts copyrights and wants to adapt them into animation.

In his opinion, it makes no sense.

If you really want to shoot "martial arts animation", you really can't let go of that martial arts dream, OK! You just draft a plan, make it original, and you're done.

Adaptation of martial arts?

That's because it's not completely dead.,No one watched the martial arts animation in the first place.,You still spend a lot of money to buy the copyright for adaptation.,What's the picture?

No matter how many fans of the original book there are, no matter how well-known the original game is, what does it have to do with your animated version? Don't you think that those older martial arts fans will come to watch your cartoons, right?

I never dreamed of it.

"I know, I know all of this."

Guo Hongwei sighed: "It is a fact that martial arts are in decline, and it is also a fact that children are not interested in martial arts themes." ”

"But I still want to give it a try!"

Gu Miao: "......"

All the good things were said, but Guo Hongwei still wanted to shoot martial arts animation, and he didn't have any ruts.

Then let him go.

Gu Miao doesn't support him in martial arts, but since he is determined to fulfill a martial arts dream, he might as well let him give it a try.

Creative Gu Miao can provide.

Whether it's "Xia Lan" or "Chinese Kid", these are all relatively good martial arts animations.

If he doesn't like it, then make a pure martial arts flavor and a strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".

Not a big problem.

Since the third season of the Pleasant Goat animation has not yet been broadcast, Guo Hongwei is not in a hurry to make a decision now. He plans to think about his next work after his sabbatical is over.

"That's right, master!"

"Has the Pleasant Goat movie script been written? If you haven't finished writing, you might as well consider adding a foreshadowing in the third season of Pleasant Goat? ”

Guo Hongwei suggested: "It's an easter egg, how about creating a surprise for the audience after the movie is released?" ”

Good idea!

Gu Miao agrees very much, first burying easter eggs in the TV animation, and then revealing the big movie when it is released.

It's just that how to set up easter eggs?

Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it, the key characters who appeared in the plot of the movie "Pleasant Goat and the Snake of the Big Big Wolf" suddenly thought of a person.

Cousin wolf, night wolf!

If he's not mistaken, this guy has married Xiang Taiwolf in the third season of TV animation and gave birth to "Little Xiangxiang", right?

"Nope! Xiao Xiangxiang did not appear. ”

Guo Hongwei shook his head and denied: "It's just that at the end of the third season, Xiao Xiangxiang was mentioned." ”

"That's going to work."

Gu Miao clapped her hands and said, "Let's set up a movie easter egg around Xiao Xiangxiang." ”

For example.

In the third season of the animation, the number of times Xiao Xiangxiang was mentioned when the gray wolf family and the wolf cousin appeared, so that the audience knew the existence of "Xiao Xiangxiang".

But there are no photos, no appearance.

When the big movie is promoted, put a picture of Little Gray Holding a little wolf of the same age, won't it successfully arouse everyone's desire to "buy tickets"?
