The market value of "China Yiban" or "Little Master of China" can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

It's obvious.

This animation is worth developing a sequel, and if it is placed in any animation company, it will not be left alone, and it will definitely be used to make ten or eight sequels, completely squeezing out the value.

But why......

It took more than 20 years to start a sequel? In the past 20 years, hasn't anyone thought about a sequel?

Certainly not so.

Gu Miao believes that in the comic "China Banban! Before the birth of "Extreme", there may have been many people who wanted to get "China Ichiban 2".

So why didn't you get it out?

The answer seems simple.

The story of "Little Master of China" may not be so easy to "continue", even if it is Ogawa Etsuji's "China Ichiban! Extreme", in Gu Miao's opinion, it is just "fried cold rice".

Yes!

"China Ichiban" created by Ogawa Etsuji, Gu Miao spoke highly of it, thinking that it was a rare masterpiece.

But after many years, he made "China Ichiban! Gu Miao didn't like it, and even thought that it was a kind of "fried cold rice" behavior.

Book of Hundred Leagues

Even the original is like this.

Not to mention other people, the possibility of making "Little Master of China 2" is simply minimal.

It's not that you can't do it.

Whether it's a comic or an animation, you can get a sequel at any time if you want to. But the problem is that the story of the little master is really not easy to "continue"!

At the end of the first season, the little master defeated the dark culinary world, made a full banquet of the Manchurians, and went with Ah Fei to find the legendary kitchenware.

This is a happy ending.

You can't just come up with some "kitchen god" or "kitchen king" rank in the back, and develop in the direction of fantasy and outrageous, right?

Although it is said......

In the "Little Master of China" anime/comics, "exaggerated" techniques and depictions about cooking are not uncommon, and even glowing egg fried rice appears.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an out-and-out "fantasy" delicacy.

But it's really "realistic"!

Whether it's animation or comics, every dish in it is based on "reality", not just random fabrication.

The way of cooking, the choice of ingredients, including the taste of the dish, although there are exaggerated elements, but it is also based on the "realistic" method, slightly adapted.

Let's just say that.

The little master is outrageous, but this story, including the setting, is completely born from reality and does not reach the height of pure "fiction".

That's why.

Dishes based on reality, including cooking techniques, knife skills, and heat, are almost all that should be talked about.

What else can you talk about in the second season?

Learn from Ogawa Yueji, and make a "father" for Liu Pleiades inexplicably? And then make it into a special edition of "Where Are You Going, Dad"?

Pull it down!

Even if Gu Miao starved to death and died of poverty, it would be impossible to make such a thing, fried cold rice is not fried like this!

You don't have to......

Gu Miao, who had a splitting headache, frowned and asked, "What about you?" As the animation director of "Little Master of China", what are your thoughts? ”

"I can't think of it."

Director Wang said with a wry smile: "The upper limit of the food fan is basically like this. If we have to make a sequel, then we can only develop in the direction of fantasy and outrageousness. ”

Falling Heart?

Bring me the stir-fry!

The two kitchen gods competed, with the stars as the fire, the heaven and the earth as the pot, and all kinds of immortal medicines and divine spring spirit fruits as the ingredients, so that the avenue collapsed and the stars were dark......

After a dish is fried, even the universe is shattered.

This is definitely not the food that Director Wang wants, let alone what Gu Miao wants, if you really shoot in this direction, it is better not to do a sequel.

"I have an idea."

When Director Wang smiled bitterly, Gu Miao suddenly had an idea and had a very good idea.

The story background of "The Little Master of China", isn't that the end of the Qing Dynasty! At that time, I believe that there was a lot of exchange between countries, right?

Go, Liu Pleiades!

With the hope of the Chinese culinary world, conquer the world, challenge the world's top chefs, and win the championship of the Chef God Competition!

"What do you mean ......"

Director Wang pondered: "After the end of the first season, Liu Pleiades is basically invincible in China. So in the second season, go out and challenge foreign chefs? ”

"That's right!"

Gu Miao nodded and said, "It happened to be the end of the Qing Dynasty, and there were frequent and close exchanges between countries. Find a reason to let the little master take his sister abroad. ”

"Season 2 goes to Neon!"

"After the little master arrived in Neon, on the one hand, he learned the local cuisine of Neon, and on the other hand, he also used Chinese cuisine to constantly beat chefs from all walks of life."

Quack!

Let the Chinese characters created by the neon people run to neon to defeat the neon sushi rice balls with Chinese food, just thinking about it is very bad!

"Yes!"

Director Wang touched his chin and said, "Just at the end of the first season, didn't the little master take Ah Fei to find the legendary kitchenware!" ”

"We can ...... like this"

The legendary kitchenware, scattered everywhere. One of the kitchenware is in neon, in order to find this legendary kitchenware, Liu Pleiades took his sister to land on neon and began to emerge in the neon cuisine world.

"Young girl!"

Gu Miao clapped her hands and said excitedly: "Neon has a legendary kitchenware, North America has one, and Europe has one...... In this way, our "Little Master of China" can be filmed for at least four or five seasons. ”

It's amazing.

A season of animation where you travel to a country to recover a legendary kitchenware. After the little master retrieves all the legendary kitchenware, I am afraid that he has beaten the invincible opponents all over the world and has been named the "kitchen god" of the earth.

This arrangement is obviously better than "China Ichiban! In "Extreme", the plot of the little master suddenly having multiple fathers is much better.

Visually, there is no sense of separation.

After all, the little master is looking for the legendary kitchenware, which is the "main line" that has been determined a long time ago. Because the legend has it that the kitchenware is in a foreign country, is there a problem with the little master going to look for it?

No problem!

This is to win glory for the country, who does not support it, it is iron rare, quickly pull it out to shoot the target.

After deciding to take "Little Master Going Abroad and Looking for Legendary Kitchenware" as the main line, Director Wang was obviously relieved after creating the sequel to "Little Master of China".

It's good to have a direction!

He was afraid that he would have no direction, which led to such an explosive animation, and it ended after only one season.

That would be a shame.

However, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly thought of another question, that is, about the serialization of the comic "Chef Liu Pleiades".

"Little Master of China" is adapted from the serialized webtoon "God Chef Liu Pleiades", which everyone knows.

But here's the problem......

The plot of the animation has deviated more and more from the comics. To put it mildly, the later stage of the animation is completely "original" plot, and it has nothing to do with the comics.

This made the original author very dissatisfied, and he has spoken out many times, saying that he doesn't like the animated adaptation.

What if the sequel is so done and the original author is unwilling to cooperate?
