Designing card effects is definitely a lot of fun.

After receiving Mr. Gu's instructions, the gang of Wanbao Animation, Wanbao Comics, and Wanbao Games set up a WeChat group called [The Black Hands Behind the Game King].

The leader of the group is Gu Miao.

There are a total of 108 members in the group, including dozens of positions such as animators, special effects artists, editors, cartoonists, light writers, front desk girls and game planners.

In this group, everyone only needs to do one thing:

If you have any great ideas or ideas, you can put them forward in the group and discuss the feasibility.

If you think it's possible, OK!

The artists in the group will immediately draw a sample picture of the "card face", and then the screenwriters in the group will add a "cool" effect description to this card.

And so far, a Yu-Gi-Oh card was born!

Wanbao Toys takes the sample to the factory for printing, and the Wanbao comic and animation production team receives the physical card, and then creates the work according to the effect and description of the card.

Scald!

It's simply a complete "industrial chain"!

As the leader of this group, he is also the number one mastermind behind "Yu-Gi-Oh". Gu Miao also saw a lot of interesting proposals in the group.

For example.

A numerical planner from Wanbao Games proposed to make nine mythical beast cards, including "Prison Cow", "Jianhu" and "Foxy", based on the legend of the "Dragon Giving Birth to Nine Sons" in China.

OK！

This proposal was approved, and soon Wanbao artists drew the card image of the "Nine Sons of the Dragon", and then the screenwriter of Wanbao set the effects and attributes of these nine monster cards.

Take the card [Dragon Six: Cunning] as an example.

In the legend, it is a kind of turtle with teeth and likes to carry weights, so the "defense" formulated by everyone for him is particularly high.

Moreover, this card also has a special effect, that is, when there is only one card on the field, the defense of the card will be increased according to the number of "Dragon Cards" in the graveyard.

Except for "Dragon Born Nine Sons".

The classic Chinese masterpiece "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is also the focus of this group of sullen men, and almost all the strange beasts mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" have been made into Yu-Gi-Oh monster cards by them.

What silverfish, Qiqi, fatty, tengu, kunpeng, Gu wither, nine-tailed fox, spinning turtle, etc......

A copy of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was in the hands of Wanbao, a group of sullen men, and he was stunned to play with flowers, and all kinds of strange "monster cards" appeared in an endless stream, and Gu Miao was very speechless.

Don't get me wrong!

He didn't think it was bad, after all, the monster card, anyway, it was all about designing monsters, and it was nothing to design with reference to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

He just thought of a question.

Chinese people may not be able to pronounce and write names like 赑屃 and 睚眦, so how to translate them into foreign languages? How do foreigners still remember cards?

Isn't that embarrassing!

Does 睚眦 translate to gular? Not! That doesn't seem to work well!

"Why do you want to accommodate foreigners?"

The people behind the scenes have different views on this issue.

Their idea is simple, Yu-Gi-Oh itself is a card battle gameplay. In this kind of gameplay, the most important thing is not the "name" of the card, but the "attributes" and "effects" of the card.

In simple terms.

You just need to know what the attack power and defense value of this monster card are, and what the effect of the card is.

As for the name of this card......

If you can't remember, you can't remember! Anyway, it doesn't affect the battle, can't you remember the name of the card, so you can't summon monsters?

That's not pure!

From this point of view, it doesn't matter what the names of these strange beasts from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are, as long as they are powerful.

Think big.

Suppose a certain "Classic of Mountains and Seas" alien beast card, the effect is particularly powerful and top-notch, reaching the "forbidden card" level, then players will definitely spontaneously learn the pronunciation and writing of the name of the "alien beast".

Does this count as a cultural export?

"Makes sense."

Gu Miao was persuaded by them, since they felt that names like Gan Tuan and Jianwei would not affect the normal game, it didn't matter.

But he also has one request.

That is, there are particularly rare words, or try to add pinyin notes in the "effect description" column at the bottom of the card face.

That's a small detail.

The age and education level of the brand elders are high and low. Not everyone can recognize those rare words, and it will be much easier to add pinyin.

……

Just when Gu Miao went to Neon and led the whole company to team building, the animation "Legend of the Seven Swords" was also continuously broadcast on the Shonan Children's Channel.

The plot came to episode 16.

In the previous episodes, the Changhong Sword Master, the Yuhua Sword Master and the Ice Spirit Sword Master all appeared, respectively Xiaoling, Dou Shenyi and Sister Xiaoyu.

It was also at this time that the audience had a question.

The three divine swords that have appeared, including the three sword masters, are actually inextricably linked to the "previous generation of sword masters".

Needless to say, the protagonist Xiaoling is the son of Li Changfeng, the last generation of Changhong sword master.

Doctor Dou is the descendant of the Medicine King Valley, the apprentice of the previous generation of Yuhua Sword Master, and Sister Xiaoyu is the previous generation of Ice Spirit Sword Master, and the nephew of Xiaoling's mother.

Engage in a long time, everyone has a background?

The seven divine swords, are they all passed down from father to son, and from son to grandchild?

That's disgusting, too!

The people in the rivers and lakes, the divine soldiers who are desperately fighting between the princes of the court and the giants of the Demon Gate, if it is really this kind of "bloodline inheritance" system, then what are you fighting for?

Just when everyone wondered whether the next Excalibur Sword Master would also be the children and apprentices of the previous generation of Sword Masters, Ben Lei Sword appeared.

This generation of Ben Thunder Sword Master has nothing to do with the previous generation of Ben Thunder Sword Master, and his age is also far from Xiao Ling Xiaoyu and others.

This generation of Benlei Sword Master is named Qian Kun. He was the shopkeeper of a restaurant in Jiangning City, with both children and daughters.

Unexpectedly, the son worshiped the demon gate, and in order to learn the magic skills, he actually revealed to the master the secret of his father's "Running Thunder Sword".

There's another plot here.

Qian Kun noticed that his son's heart was not right, and he didn't want to teach him martial arts, for fear that he would cause trouble, and only hoped that his son and daughter could spend their lives in peace.

Unexpectedly, the son became jealous because of this, ran away from home to worship the devil, and revealed the secret that his father had hidden for many years.

Now it's all right.

The Ben Thunder Sword was born, and the imperial army and the demon gate flocked to him. Qian Kun tried his best, but he failed to protect his wife and daughter, and finally his wife and daughter died tragically in front of his eyes.

On a rainy night, Qian Kun, who was holding his daughter's corpse, burst into tears.

Facing the three thousand iron cavalry sent by King Wuwei, Qian Kun, who had not drawn his sword for more than ten years, resolutely violated his promise to his wife and pulled out the Benlei sword.

On this day, the thunder sword master who had washed his hands for more than ten years re-entered the rivers and lakes because his wife and daughter were killed!

One person, one sword, facing three thousand iron horsemen!
