It is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all.

When making animation, especially an animation based on folklore such as "Avanti", it is necessary to consider more than "restoration".

It also needs to be "filtered......

Liang Xiaodong said something that shocked Gu Miao when he heard it.

In the Western Regions, in Arabia, and in the entire Asian continent, all the folklore about "Avanti" has been sorted out, and about 4-5 million words can be published.

That's quite a staggering number!

Take a closer look at these folklores and you'll find a "laughable" fact.

That is a lot of "legends", all of which belong to the "rigid set" stitching monster, which is too outrageous and unreasonable.

Liang Xiaodong gave a few examples.

Among the several stories about Avanti circulating in a certain place, there is a legend of "Avanti outwits the devil".

Legend has it that the demons threaten the people of a small country by sacrificing a young girl every day, and if they can't, he will appear and eat everyone.

Everyone succumbed to the demon's obscenity and continued to pay tribute, and in the end, the whole country was left with only one princess who had not yet married.

Broken!

Avanti passed by a small country, and when he learned about it, he had a strong sense of justice, and immediately came up with a way to punish the demon and save the princess......

The more Gu Miao listened, the more wrong it became.

Avanti is a legendary figure, this is true. But the legendary nature of Avanti is still at the level of a "wise man".

In other words, the legend of Avanti should not involve any "extraordinary" power.

This Nima demon has come out?

Avanti, you're really good! Even the demons have a way to clean up, do you have to subdue the "zombies" another day, and by the way, collect the ghosts and fight a dozen zombies?

"Don't say it, there really is."

Liang Xiaodong couldn't help but smile and said: "In the folklore of many places, the enemies that Avanti has fought are simply varied. ”

"What demons, youkai, orcs, even vampires and werewolves have ......"

Gu Miao Bengbu lived.

What is this? Avanti is very powerful, but it's not so angry, right?

Could it be that this is the legendary "three people become tigers"?

Good folklore, it will change its flavor when it is passed on, and Avanti is about to become an avatar, just without underwear to wear, and run to save the world.

"Don't borrow any of that."

Gu Miao waved his hand and said, "It's too outrageous, and it's too deified Avanti." ”

Avanti is a wise man, a collection of all the good qualities of industriousness, bravery, intelligence, wit, etc., of ordinary people.

Ultimately.

He was not a figure on the "side of force", but a "spiritual sustenance" used by the oppressed grassroots people at that time to get rid of the shackles.

This is the part that Gu Miao deliberately emphasized.

Avanti solves problems by relying more on wisdom than by force. For the animation team, this is a link that must be taken into account.

What?

Is Master Bayi bullying again? Avanti stepped forward and kicked out with one kick, even the avenue was wiped out, and Master Bayi was directly kicked outside the galaxy?

Tut-tut!

Just thinking about the picture of Avanti if he used force to solve the problem, Gu Miao suddenly shuddered.

You can't do that!

As a wise man, you should have the demeanor of a wise man, and force is not the only way to solve problems, nor is it the best way.

"I understand."

Liang Xiaodong nodded, understanding Gu Miao's worries and explaining: "In the animation, we will only focus on portraying Avanti's wisdom and bravery. ”

"That's good, that's good."

Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't mention it, he is really afraid of Liang Xiaodong and these people, get him a muscular man Avanti, and see who is unhappy is a slap.

To be reasonable, that's a bit excessive.

Liang Xiaodong is a sensible and proportional person, and he can distinguish which stories can be used and which ones cannot be used.

But Gu Miao was still not very relieved, so he asked Liang Xiaodong to let him take a look at the Avanti folklore stories that had been strictly screened.

"Selling Shade"!

The first story that caught his eye was the classic selling shade that couldn't be more classic.

Legend has it that one day, the scorching sun was in the sky.

The weather was so hot that the poor had to hide under a big tree to cool off. Unexpectedly, when Master Bayi saw it, he was greedy and came up with a plan to make a fortune.

Yawen Library

"This shade is mine, you want to enjoy the shade, you have to pay!"

Some of the poor people paid money, some had no money, and they were simply robbed of all the valuable things on their bodies by Master Bayi.

Until Avanti came on a little donkey.

When he learned about this, he immediately said that he would pay for this piece of shade.

The greedy Lord Bayi laughed at Avanti as a fool in his heart, and sold the shade to Avanti without hesitation.

As a result, the time came to the afternoon.

The shade of the trees spread to Lord Bayi's yard and even to the windows.

When Avanti took out a note, saying that the shade of the tree had belonged to him, and that Master Bayi had to pay the money if he wanted to go home, Master Bayi confessed and paid the money to buy the shade back.

Give somebody a taste of his own medicine.

The story of "Selling Shade", Gu Miao is not the first time to watch it. When he was very young, he saw this story on the TV.

But every time I look at it, I have a new insight.

When I was a child, I just felt ......

(⊙o⊙) Wow! Avanti is so smart, he can still punish Master Bayi like this, why didn't I think of it?

Now?

Looking at this story again, Gu Miao always felt that there was a strong sense of "irony".

As a rich man, would Lord Bayi be so stupid? Will you "make a note" with a mud leg like Avanti? Will he recognize the written evidence?

Obviously, this can't be.

So who would have come up with this story, full of idealization?

Answer: Obviously, the poor people who were bullied by the rich people in the story came up with this story.

In the story, the poor still have "illusions" about Master Bayi, thinking that he is a man who keeps his promises? No matter how many evil things he has done, let him suffer a little loss is considered a punishment?

It's sad and lamentable!

Gu Miao shook his head, not letting his thinking continue to diverge, otherwise he was afraid that his brain would be hot, and he couldn't help but change the plot.

What to change?

Of course, it ends with Master Bayi going bankrupt and the poor people turning over and being the masters!

Unfortunately, this is not realistic.

On the one hand, it does not conform to the prototype of the story, and on the other hand, Avanti, as the protagonist of the story, does not have this ability.

Is it really correct for the poor people to be oppressed and still fantasize that Master Bayi is a good person, and still count on Avanti to help them?

Gu Miao didn't dare to say.

He simply felt that Avanti, as a legendary figure, may have pinned the hopes of many poor people.

But shouldn't fate be in your own hands?

Always counting on Avanti to help, he can help everyone, can he help for a lifetime?
