The apprentice has his own ideas.

In Gu Miao's opinion, this is actually a good thing. Because he has always hoped that the directors of Wanbao Animation can get out of his "shackles".

What does this mean?

Very simple!

Gu Miao is a shameful wall-hanger, he can open and copy the excellent works in his memory, but the rest of the company is not wall-hanging.

If Huang Kun and Guo Hongwei didn't use their brains, they would only reach out and ask Gu Miao for a ready-made plan......

In a short time, there will be no problems.

But after a long time, if Gu Miao can't give a plan one day. They are accustomed to "white prostitution planning", can they still rely on their own skills to make an excellent animation work?

I'm afraid it's going to be hard!

Because of this, Gu Miao has always emphasized that no matter who has a good idea, these directors of Wanbao Animation can come to him to communicate.

As long as your idea is good enough, the wise and martial Mr. Gu doesn't mind allocating tens of millions to make your dream come true.

Guo Hongwei is not the first director, in front of Gu Miao, who revealed that he wanted to shoot "original animation".

He won't be the last either.

Speaking of which, his idea is actually quite simple. That is to make a martial arts-themed animation that is more traditional and has a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes.

What does it mean to be more traditional?

A story full of love and hatred, swords and swords, and endless disputes.

"Is there a rough synopsis of the story?"

"Some ......"

"Legend has it that there are seven divine swords in the martial arts, and each of them is an invincible divine weapon. And behind these seven swords, there is a secret hidden by no one. ”

Guo Hongwei said eloquently: "The legendary person who collected seven swords is very likely to solve this secret and become the first person in martial arts!" ”

"So your story revolves around the battle for these seven swords?" Gu Miao asked.

"Hmm!"

Guo Hongwei nodded: "What do you think of this story?" Is there a headset? ”

"There's a head, but it's not big."

Gu Miao didn't rush to refute Guo Hongwei, but closed her eyes and thought for a while, and said after a long while: "The core of animation still lies in the characters. Listen to what you mean, the main line of this story is to collect seven divine swords and solve the mystery of martial arts? ”

"If that's the case, then I have an immature opinion."

Seeing Guo Hongwei nodded, Gu Miao said again: "Why don't you set a master for each of these seven swords?" ”

Seven swords, seven protagonists?

When Guo Hongwei heard this, he said thoughtfully: "Master, what do you mean to let these seven protagonists each claim a divine sword and jointly resist the careerists who plot the divine sword?" ”

"It can be understood that way."

When Gu Miao heard this, she suddenly thought of a domestic martial arts animation she had seen before, the Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit.

"Seven swords combined, invincible in the world!"

As a memorable animation work in Gu Miao's childhood, "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" can be described as the childhood memories of a generation.

Needless to say, the degree of classicism is not too much.

And the amazing influence of this animation back then, from the perspective of later generations, may not be understood.

Here's an example.

In the few years when animation was at its most popular, one of the most popular toys on the market was the "pocket version" of Seven Swords.

Haven't seen it, have you?

It's the one that is very small, especially pocket-sized, and contains the Changhong Sword, the Ice Spirit Sword, the Purple Cloud Sword, the Rain Flower Sword, the Benlei Sword, the Qingguang Sword and the Whirlwind Sword in a plastic bag.

At that time, this thing was selling well!

Although it is a pirated copy, and the quality is also very poor, and the volume is very small, and playing with it in your hand is as ridiculous as "Zhang Fei embroidery".

But everyone really likes it!

The classic degree of the Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit, to be honest, can't be too much to brag about. After all, this is the first time that many post-90s and post-00s children feel the charm of the so-called "martial arts".

When Guo Hongwei said that "there are seven divine swords in the martial arts", Gu Miao subconsciously wanted to report the name of the dish, and casually said the names of the swords such as Changhong, Bingluo and Ziyun.

Fortunately, he held back.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he doesn't want to impose his thoughts on Guo Hongwei.

What if the stupid apprentice came up with something better than "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit"?

Don't stifle other people's imaginations!

Gu Miao encourages them to create freely, essentially to cultivate their ability to "plan independently".

Therefore, even if he really likes "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", and thinks that this work is very suitable for Guo Hongwei, he didn't say it.

Of course!

It's not too much to boot properly, right?

Gu Miao didn't want to be a brainstorm, so he threw the story synopsis, character setting, and plot development of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" to his apprentice, making him completely reduced to a tool man who "doesn't need to use his brain".

But he can guide Guo Hongwei to think in a certain direction.

In this way, the result is not much different, but the process is completely different. After all, the former was "hard stuffed" by Gu Miao, and the latter was come up by Xiao Guo himself.

……

We chatted all afternoon.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that Jiang Keke called him three times in a row, asking him what time he would go back from work for dinner, and the conversation between Gu Miao and Guo Hongwei came to an end.

The synopsis of the story is roughly finalized.

According to Guo Hongwei's idea, Gu Miao guided and added on the side, and the first version of the "Legend of the Seven Swords" project Cao Yu was finally released.

What? The Legend of the Seven Swords?

There is no doubt that this is the name given by Guo Hongwei. Gu Miao scratched her head and thought about it, as if there was nothing wrong with it, so she simply nodded in agreement.

Anyway, it's a "tentative name".

It may be changed when the plan is supplemented and improved, so it doesn't really matter what the name is now.

As long as it's not unpleasant, it's okay to be awkward.

Oh yes......

Speaking of awkwardness, Gu Miao really wants to complain about "Xia Lan". Although I know that "Xia Lan" is a "profession", and the person who saves the world is called Xia Lan.

But he had to complain, the name Xia Lan can't be said to be ugly, and it can't be said to be awkward, but it's too "difficult to understand".

If you don't watch the feature film, just look at the title of the play.

Who knows what this show is? I don't know what story is told, what theme or genre!

It's not impossible to use "Xia Lan".

Add a "note", or "legend", or "legend", or "biography", or a little more international, and add a "adventure" at the end!

The word bare man!

, it sounds so barren and tall, so classical, so feeling! It's strange that children who can watch animations can understand this.

"The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" is okay!

To put it simply, "Legend of the Seven Swords" is also acceptable. Even if you link up across the works, it's not impossible to name it "Seven Generals of the Divine Soldiers".

Anyway, everyone can understand the title of the play.

It's not like "Xia Lan", if you don't watch the feature film, you don't know what "Xia Lan" means and what does it mean?
