In anime works, there is a kind of bad behavior called "whipping old opponents".

It's not just anime, actually.

In live-action film and television dramas, especially those with a majority of fight scenes, this behavior is more common.

So, here's the problem.

Why?

On the one hand, it is to provide a reference and give the audience a standard to measure the combat power of the protagonist's supporting role. On the other hand, this is also done to retain the old audience.

It's not hard to see why......

People are nostalgic for the old, watching their favorite anime works slowly become unfamiliar, and familiar faces disappear from the screen one by one, it is inevitable that some people will feel: "It seems that it is not as good as before?" ”

Let's take a simple example.

Let's say one day, you chased three seasons, four seasons, five seasons or even more of an anime, and suddenly updated the latest season. As a result, this season not only changed the protagonist, but even the story took place in another parallel world.

So how do you feel when you look at it?

No matter how good and excellent this season is, as an old viewer, I am afraid that I will feel regret in my heart and sigh that my youth is gone, right?

The frequency of changing the protagonist of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is quite fast, to be honest.

From DM's Muto Game, to GX's Yucheng Ten Generations, to 5D's's Fudo Yuxing, and later Zexal's Ninety-Nine Yuma......

Each new generation comes out, and with it comes new protagonists and supporting characters.

I have to admit that the later protagonists actually have quite good images. In particular, as the second generation of the city, the tenth generation has not fallen into the prestige of the previous generation of protagonist games.

But I still can't stand it.,Some people miss the game of the past.,The former president of the seahorse......

Oh yes!

The game, Seahorse and Becas and others actually appeared in the second season of "Yu-Gi-Oh GX", but there are too few scenes to be praised.

Gu Miao enhanced the presence of the supporting characters, not because he wanted to whip the corpse repeatedly. In fact, he also rejects this kind of behavior.

Thinkers

What he wanted to do was not to whip the corpse.

is to give these "marginalized" supporting characters a little more appearance scenes and design a little more side plots.

Try to make these supporting characters full and three-dimensional, rather than marginalizing them......

It's actually quite simple.

Take President Seahorse as an example, in fact, there is a side plot about him in the original book, and it is not short. It can be said that in order to create this character, Kazuki Takahashi has really put a lot of effort into it.

But it's a pity......

Many of the side plots in the original comics failed to appear in the animated version. Even the side plot that was produced has been greatly reduced compared to the original manga.

What Gu Miao wants to do is to delete the original animation, or the original comic content that has not been made at all, and supplement it as much as possible.

Uh, by the way!

The animated version of "Yu-Gi-Oh" adapted and produced by Toei Animation, that is, the familiar Aunt To, is actually very different from the original comic.

This is nothing new either.

The "adaptation" works in the anime circle are basically this urine, and it is impossible to completely follow the original work, so they can only be produced according to the ideas of the director/director.

Therefore, if the same original comic book is filmed by two animation directors with different styles, the final film will become very different.

Gu Miao knew it very well in her heart.

The "Yu-Gi-Oh" animation is in his hands, and it is impossible to shoot exactly the same as the original Toei. After all, he only copied the "outline", not the "finished article".

……

In the afternoon.

Gu Miao accompanied his wife to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, and on the way home, he received a call from Lao Zhang.

On the phone, Lao Zhang was extremely excited to tell him that the animation "The Story of Avanti" produced by the puppet studio has won a number of awards issued by the Huaguo Television Art Association.

This is the first official "national" award won by "The Story of Avanti" since it was broadcast.

"Okay, it's open!"

Gu Miao, who hung up the phone, waved her fist excitedly.

He seems to have expected that for a long time after this, the animation "The Story of Avanti" won the award and won the soft scene.

The awards issued by the Association are generally golden.

No matter how ordinary it is, it's also a national award, and others can't get it if they want to. What's more, the award is just the beginning.

Don't forget.

It's only May, and it's not yet year-end awards season! With the arrival of the two awards seasons in autumn and winter, the animation "The Story of Avanti" is sure to make a difference.

"I'm going to order a big display case in advance, so that I don't get the trophy certificate back when the time comes, and I'll be embarrassed if I don't have a place to put it."

"You can pull it down."

Jiang Keke, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but pout and complain when he heard this: "Compared to the fact that there is no place to put the trophy certificate, I think you make a big display case, but it turns out to be empty...... Significantly more embarrassing. ”

"Nonsense!"

Gu Miao said confidently: "How can it be empty?" Are you vegetarian when "The Story of Avanti"? ”

"I'll tell you, this animation is very pleasing to those old antiques, and it will definitely win awards."

"But ......"

Jiang Keke looked ahead and said unmoved: "No matter how well "The Story of Avanti" is filmed, no matter how many awards it wins, it is also the honor of Liang Xiaodong and the puppet studio, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

Gu Miao's smile froze.

Although my wife's words are ugly, they are indisputable facts.

No matter how much honor "The Story of Avanti" wins, it can't be shared on him as an "investor". He may be proud of this, but he really can't be cheeky and attribute Liang Xiaodong's honor to himself.

"Honey, when will you be able to win a grand prize? For example, Best Animation Director? ”

"Uh...... It depends. ”

Gu Miao was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer this question.

To say that in the past few years, he has made a lot of TV animation works, and even made an animated movie, and the box office has exceeded 500 million to create the best record in history.

It can be said that there is no one in China who can beat it.

He can completely say that he is the first person in domestic commercial animation! No one has achieved anything better and better than him.

But he also has "shortcomings"!

Obviously, Gu Miao, who debuted not long ago and whose works have obvious commercial labels, lacks a lot in terms of personal honor.

So far.

In his encyclopedia information, the introduction to him is still one sentence: "The founder of Wanbao Animation, the president of the Huaguo Animation Industry Association, a well-known animation director and producer, and his works have made remarkable achievements!" ”

And then what?

Gone!

The founder of Wanbao, a "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" Jiang Chuan Gu Sanshui, who overwhelmed the whole industry, only had a simple sentence of "well-known animation director" in the introduction.

It's really hard to mussels!

If he wins a few more awards, then in the encyclopedia introduction, the column about his personal "achievements and honors" will not look so thin.
