What is Hou Bin doing?

Out of curiosity, Gu Miao called Hou Bin and wanted to ask him why he didn't go to this comic convention, how is the animation "The Devil Soldiers of Maoer Mountain" progressing?

As a result, the phone rang and he was stupid.

Hou Bin was no longer in Jiangchuan two days ago. Without notifying anyone, he secretly went to the Northeast by himself to conduct a field visit to collect materials.

"Can you really do it?"

When he learned that he was sleeping on the kang of a farmhouse in the northeast at this time, Gu Miao was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Immediately scolded: "It's not good to do your animation, go out to travel at public expense, right?" Who gave you the guts? ”

"Mr. Gu, don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as he heard this, Hou Bin hurriedly defended himself: "I'm not a tourist, I'm calling it a field trip!" As the saying goes, if you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak, so I should have no problem investigating the local customs, right? ”

Big problem!

Gu Miao sneered and said, "Then tell me, what did you gain from this trip?" ”

"It's quite a reward."

"First of all, in terms of topography, I took a lot of real-life photos and passed them on to the 3D modeling team, so that they could restore the old rural landscape of the Northeast as much as possible based on these photos."

Hou Bin patiently explained: "The second is some unknown details, such as the clothing, clothing, food, housing and transportation of local farmers during the Anti-Japanese War. ”

"Of course, I also visited a very old and now abandoned train station. I also found some precious prototypes of earthen weapons through the local museum......"

Forehead!

Are you really doing the right thing?

Gu Miao, who realized that she might have wronged a good person, touched her nose in embarrassment, and immediately asked, "What about animation?" If you're gone as a director, the animation team won't stop, right? ”

"Nothing!"

"In the past few days since I left, although I am in the Northeast, I will communicate with the production team through the Internet every night, and the animation production has not been affected." Hou Bin explained.

That's pretty much ......

Gu Miao, who breathed a sigh of relief, roughly understood the production progress of the 3D anti-Japanese animation "The Devil Soldiers of Maoer Mountain" through Hou Bin's description.

Overall, everything went well.

In the 3D modeling part, under Gu Miao's strict requirements, the animation production team was not careless, and each character was reviewed three or four times to ensure that it was correct before it could be finalized.

In terms of the script, Hou Bin also made more detailed additions and improvements with the help of his friend.

There are eight main characters. @精华\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~

They are three little anti-Japanese heroes, Huzi, Niuniu and Tiedan, who live in the villages near Maoer Mountain.

and the garrison team stationed by the devil at the Maoershan Transport Station, captain Ono, team members Iguchi, Yagi, Nabeshima and Inosuke.

The plot revolves around these eight main characters, mainly telling the story of the battle of wits and courage between the three dolls of Huzi, Niu Niu and Tie Dan and the ghost soldiers at the station.

The total duration is about 500-700 minutes.

According to the animation standard of an average of 15 minutes per episode of Guoman, this length is not much, and it is estimated that it can make up about 35-40 episodes.

Take 40 episodes, for example.

Wanbao Animation allocated a total of 12 million production budgets to the production team, and the average episode is 300,000, which is really not high.

Typical low-cost small productions.

According to Hou Bin's extremely optimistic statement, it is expected that the animation will be completed and broadcast before November this year.

In addition, Hou Bin also told Gu Miao a happy event.

After his persuasion, his talented and talented screenwriter friend finally accepted the invitation and was about to join Wanbao Animation.

……

Hou Bin's friend's surname is Zhou.

The name is interesting, it is called Zhou Zhou. If you don't know that the second word is "Zhou", just listening to the pronunciation, I'm afraid you will think it's called "Zhou Zhou"!

After he completed the entry procedures, Gu Miao met with him and chatted briefly for a while.

This person is not bad!

Through chatting with Gu Miao, I learned that Zhou Zhou was originally a TV drama screenwriter, but later was banned and left the TV circle because of a conflict with the director.

, changed careers and became a children's stage playwright.

The reason for the conflict is actually very simple.

The director wants to change the play, that is, he does not shoot according to the script. But Zhou Zhou felt that this was not good, and the entire script collapsed after the change.

Both sides have their own bottom line, and the result of the quarrel is naturally unhappy.

Because the director's status in the crew is much higher than that of the screenwriter, and Zhou Zhou stubbornly thinks that he did the right thing, he was unfortunately driven away.

"I've watched ...... show"

Gu Miao sighed: "I'll just say, that script is very good-looking, why is it wrong since episode 24, it turns out that there is such a thing behind it." _o_m ”

"Mr. Gu, I'm not good at animation screenwriting." Zhou Zhou confessed.

"It's fine!"

Gu Miao smiled: "Whether it's animation or TV series, it's just a different way of expression." As long as the story is told well, I think it's all the same. ”

"But ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhou still chose to express his concerns: "The main audience of the TV series is adults, and cartoons are mainly watched by children, I have no experience in this area!" ”

"Who told you that cartoons are all watched by children? As long as the story is well told, I think adults will read it, and even more energetically than children. ”

Gu Miao didn't care.

Animation is also divided into several age groups.,There are both common sub-supply animations.,There are also adult-oriented animations for adults.。

Experience? What kind of experience do you want?

In Gu Miao's opinion, Zhou Zhou didn't have to worry about his lack of experience at all.

He may not be able to get involved in sub-oriented animation, but adult-oriented animation, writing scripts according to normal TV dramas, is not much of a problem at all.

"Okay!"

As if persuaded by Gu Miao, Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "Mr. Gu, I am also employed now, do you have any work arrangements that I need to do?" ”

"Yes! Look at this! ”

Gu Miao took out the X project plan that was previously handed to Hou Bin, but was rejected by Hou Bin on the grounds of "timidity", and handed it to Zhou Zhou and said.

"My task for you is to compile an animation script based on this project!"

"What happened to the rabbit that year......

Staring at this plan, after looking at it carefully for a long time, Zhou Zhou suddenly became interested.

"If I'm not mistaken, this shouldn't be the kind of historical military animation that is made for children in the traditional sense, right?"

"Not ......"

Gu Miao shook her head: "If it's an animation for children, I won't leave it to you to write the script." ”

"This is an animation for the younger generation."

The younger generation?

When Zhou Zhou heard this, his expression was thoughtful.

That's a lot of range!

According to the current mainstream view, the definition of the younger generation is roughly under the age of 30.

This includes both minors under the age of 18 and young people between the ages of 18 and 30.
