Villains are more popular?

There was even a thing that caused the ratings to plummet because the core villains all withdrew?

It may sound a bit incredible, especially in cartoons......

However, Gu Miao thought about it carefully.

Although it is a little difficult to understand, it is reasonable to use the character plot of the "Four Great Thieves" to gain the love of the audience.

This is no ordinary animation.

In the "Jelly Three Musketeers" animation, and even in the subsequent "Fruit Treasure Special Attack" series of animations, the villain's popularity has always been very high.

Let's not talk about the four thieves.

Their boss, that is, the dragon fruit sect leader Dongfang Qiuqiu, is hidden behind the scenes, and he is inspirational to change from a supporting role to a protagonist Xiaoguo Ding......

These villains, in a sense, are even more "charming" than Orange Liuxiang, Pineapple Blowing Snow and Lu Xiaoguo.

Why is this so?

Obviously, there are not many scenes, and they belong to the villain camp, why are these characters so popular?

The answer is very simple: character design!

Blue Arc is smart and thoughtful.

In the anime "The Three Musketeers of Jelly" and "Fruit Treasure Special Attack", that is, the "Jelly" series, they created an ideal worldview of "there are no bad guys".

That's right!

In the "Jelly" series of animations, there is not a single villain in the true sense of the word. What the villains do looks heinous, but everyone is a good person.

Here's an example.

In the first season of "Fruit Treasure Special Attack", Dongfang Qiu led the four evil thieves, who seemed to be "evil and domineering", ruling the fruit world and Huaguo Mountain.

But who would have thought......

This "villain organization" composed of dragon fruit and four sugar canes turned out to be the guardian of Huaguo Mountain and the pillar of optimus who silently supported the fruit world.

Another example, small fruit dings.

This guy who counterattacked in the end, from a marginal small supporting role, to the ultimate boss, poisoned the seven-colored lotus, causing the entire fruit world to crumble, definitely a big villain, right?

But who would have thought......

Xiaoguo Ding did this, but she was unwilling to play tricks and wanted to become the protagonist to get everyone's attention. And his goal is not just to be a villain.

He wants to be a good guy "protagonist".

So in the end, he saved the seven-colored lotus, saved the fruit world, and saved the Huaguo Mountain.

This is the plot of Fruit Treasure 1.

In Guobao 2, Xiao Guoding turned positive smoothly and became the eighth Guobao special attacker, a good person among the good guys.

See?

Counting over and over, the villains of the entire Jelly series of animations are all decent characters "dressed in villain skin".

The only thing that is a little controversial is probably the small fruit ding.

However, even if it is a small fruit ding, it will be washed white in the future. In addition, his "protagonist dream" is very appetizing to the audience, so not many people think that Xiao Guoding is a heinous villain.

This is where the character design shines.

Now that "The Three Musketeers of Jelly" is coming to an end, everyone loves the four thieves, and the love is even more than that of the three protagonists of Orange Liuxiang, Pineapple Blowing Snow and Lu Xiaoguo, which can be regarded as a kind of "personality" victory.

Let's be honest......

In the Jelly, or "Guobao" series of animations, Gu Miao has always believed that the villain's character creation is much better than the protagonist.

Orange fragrance?

A hot-blooded chivalrous young man, although he is the first male protagonist, his character design is not as vivid and three-dimensional as the second male protagonist "Pineapple Blowing Snow".

The same is true for Lu Xiaoguo.

Of the three musketeers, there is only one "pineapple blowing snow" with the characteristics of greed for money and lust, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in terms of personality.

Lu Xiaoguo and Orange Liuxiang, to be honest, are not particularly good, and they are not even as good as Dongfang seeking defeat.

This is not Gu Miao's nonsense......

In fact, after "Guobao Special Attack" became popular, many viewers felt that there were big problems in the character creation of Lu Xiaoguo and Orange Liuxiang.

It's not as vivid and fun as pineapple blowing snow!

As soon as pineapple blowing snow is mentioned, the impression of "greedy for money and lustful mouthful" suddenly popped up in everyone's minds, and this role was summed up in just seven words.

can mention Lu Xiaoguo and Orange Liuxiang, I don't know how to summarize these two characters. Because their character creation is far less vivid and three-dimensional than pineapple blowing snow.

Of course, this is the original.

Gu Miao realized this problem very early, so he was also trying to seek change, striving to make Orange Liuxiang and Lu Xiaoguo as vivid as pineapple blowing snow.

For example, in "The Three Musketeers of Jelly", he added a signature "hot-blooded idiot" setting with Orange Liuxiang.

Lu Xiaoguo is "the stupid son of the landlord's family".

It's a pity......

Although he has worked hard to create a vivid and interesting orange fragrance and Lu Xiaoguo, the response is still mediocre.

In major animation communities, forums and social platforms, it can be seen that everyone's recognition of [Pineapple Blowing Snow] is much higher than that of the other two characters.

That's not bad.

Orange Liuxiang and Lu Xiaoguo are miserable, at least they are still the protagonists, their roles are guaranteed, and they still have many fans.

Like Shangguan Ziyi, Pear Blossom Poetry and Hua Ruyi, the three supporting actresses, there is no discussion on the Internet......

What's even more speechless is that.

"The Three Musketeers of Jelly" is coming to an end soon, and it stands to reason that after being broadcast for so long, children should be able to recognize each character with their eyes closed.

But the reality is.

The children have watched the animation for so long, but they still can't remember Shangguan Ziyi, Pear Blossom Poetry and Hua Ruyi, what are their names?

I can only say, it's hard to be nervous!

From the fact that the vast majority of viewers can't even remember their names, it is not difficult to see how thin the "presence" of these three supporting actresses is.

It's not a big problem, though.

If you can't remember it, you can't remember it, anyway, "The Three Musketeers of Jelly" is not based on them, although they are the core female supporting roles, but there are really not many scenes.

Looking back at the broadcast of "Fruit Treasure Special Attack", when these three people become Fruit Treasure Female Special Attack, I believe everyone will be able to remember the name.

Speaking of "Fruit Treasure Attack"......

Gu Miao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, because he found that he seemed to have brought his old classmate into the pit.

Since Fuda Food Factory sponsored "The Three Musketeers of Jelly", with the broadcast of the animation, Fuda Jelly has become a popular snack, Lao Li seems to have opened the door to a new world.

Now it's good!

Lao Li, who wants to develop and grow Fuda Food Factory, tasted the sweetness of "The Three Musketeers of Jelly".

So not long ago, he spent tens of millions of dollars to invest in another cartoon with the theme of "cookies".

And that's not all......

As far as Gu Miao knew, Lao Li also planned to ask Wan Bao to help him make animations with the titles of "chocolate", "sandwich cake" and "bubble gum".

Boy!

Gu Miao was stunned at the time.

What does Lao Li want to do? There are so many snack categories, does he plan to release an animation for each category?

That's too daring!

In Gu Miao's opinion, in addition to wasting money, there is no second possibility at all. After all, "The Three Musketeers of Jelly" is special, and you can't expect to replicate this success.
