Gu Miao's new work, the animation "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Kingdom" is being broadcast on children's channels around the world.

It's rare to be idle.

On the premise of not considering the production of "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel City" for the time being, he began to think about one thing, that is, what should be filmed in the second half of this year?

Because his wife is pregnant, her belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and Gu Miao has to take care of her.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to make particularly important feature-length animation projects, including animated films. has to wait for his wife to give birth to a child before Gu Miao has the time and energy to shoot these feature-length projects.

But it's okay to be idle all the time.

Coco is only five months pregnant, and it's still early to give birth. If he starts to rot now, won't he have to be a jobless vagrant for four months?

Think about it.

Four months, what can be done, there are really not many animation projects that can be made, and they are all that kind of "short" animation.

A dozen episodes of the kind.

And in these short animation projects, Gu Miao thought of the "X" project, which was "politely rejected" by Hou Bin and rejected by the TV station.

Those things about the rabbit that year!

This project, since the project was conceived, has been eating dust in his drawer for a while.

It's a good transition.

Anyway, the length is short, and the first season will definitely be completed within four or five months. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~ Coupled with the special nature of the theme, Gu Miao was also very interested in it, so he decided to shoot this.

Of course!

The decision is a decision, and the "production decision" of any animation work must be considered in advance before it can be decided.

Even if Gu Miao is the boss of Wanbao, he can't make an exception easily.

One of the first problems faced in the production of the animation "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" was the choice of the broadcast platform.

TV stations don't have to think about it.

Gu Miao, who had asked the TV station before, knew very well that the other party would not dare to take the risk of purchasing an animation with a theme type like "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" and broadcasting it on his children's channel.

Therefore, the only broadcast platform that can be selected for animation is the major video websites.

This is not a big problem.

Wanbao has a self-built video website, and the traffic users are not bad, and it can be broadcast directly after it is done when the time comes.

The second is the issue of script.

The animation "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" is different from other animations, and most of the stories told in this animation are "historical facts".

In the most relaxed and calm tone, tell the most unforgettable history of modern humiliation!

This kind of plot can't be written by a random animation screenwriter within the company. I'm used to writing sub-directional animation scripts, so let them write this, I'm afraid it's going to be a big problem.

Fortunately!

Zhou Zhou, who was recommended by Hou Bin to join Wanbao, was previously a TV drama screenwriter, and his main masterpiece was a historical spy war drama.

His addition can be regarded as solving Gu Miao's urgent need and making up for the lack of "adult-oriented" animation screenwriters in Wanbao Animation.

So far!

The two problems that have plagued Gu Miao for a long time and hindered the animation production team of "Those Things About That Rabbit" have been solved.

The animation is finally ready to be made.

……

In August, the Guoman industry was still immersed in the "playing cards" frenzy set off by "Yu-Gi-Oh".

Due to the popularity of derivative card games, Wanbao has created a coveted lucrative income, and a group of red-eyed peers are considering whether to follow the trend to launch their own "card animation" and learn from Wanbao to make a lot of money.

And right now.

Wanbao Animation's official Weibo quietly announced a new work directed by Gu Miao.

"What happened to that rabbit that year?"

"What kind of subject is this? Is the main character a rabbit? ”

"It's cute to look at the posters! It should be of the same type as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", with animals as the protagonist's funny animation, right? ”

"Looking forward to ING......"

As expected, Gu Miao's appeal is still amazing. Even if this is not the second season of "Yu-Gi-Oh" as everyone guesses, there are still many people who are full of expectations.

Of course, the rabbit has only released a promotional poster so far.

With just a poster, it's hard for everyone to guess what this animation is about.

Tale. can only be judged based on past experience, it should be similar to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", right?

"Almost? Far from it! ”

Seeing the misunderstanding of netizens about the rabbit, Gu Miao couldn't help but shake her head.

With animals as the protagonists, plus this rabbit is really cute and cute, some people will think that it is normal for this to be a funny anime in the style of a pleasant goat.

It's a pity that everyone has been deceived!

Although this rabbit looks cute and cute, and has the temperament of a "funny animation protagonist", it is not funny at all.

Contrary......

This rabbit is an out-and-out "tear harvester".

But if you misunderstand, you misunderstand.

Anyway, after the anime is broadcast, everyone will be able to understand how outrageous their guesses are.

Gu Miao, who was discussing the plot arrangement of the first season with Zhou Zhou, had no time to explain the truth to fans. At this time, his mind was full of one thing.

"Is the plot moving quickly?"

"Soon!"

Zhou Zhou affirmed: "If it is planned and produced as originally planned, the plot of the first season will be too compact to be honest." ”

Here's how he sees it.

In the project, the plot of the first season of the rabbit went from being shared and bullied by the powers of the "flower planter", and then to falling in love and killing with Eagle Sauce in the end, in just 12 episodes.

That's all it takes for 12 episodes.

To be honest, 12 episodes have about 30 years of history, but it's not that fast. However, according to the plan, each episode of the animation is only seven or eight minutes.

Ah......h

As soon as Zhou Zhou said this, Gu Miao suddenly realized that it seemed that this problem did exist.

An episode of seven or eight minutes, and the story of so many years in just twelve episodes seems to be a bit "fast". The plot span between the previous episode and the next episode feels even more outrageous than riding a rocket.

"And what do you mean?"

"For each episode, determine a theme of the episode and make it a unit drama. At the same time, the story line is extended, and an episode is 15 minutes long. ”

Zhou Zhou spread his hands and said: "This standard is already very low, an episode of less than 15 minutes of animation, the audience is not even enough to make bowl noodles." ”

That's true!

Gu Miao nodded, agreed with Zhou Zhou's opinion, and decided to enrich the plot line as much as possible on the original basis and show a little more details.

It's like a season four?

Gu Miao, who has watched the entire animation series of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", including the side story, has a deep impression of the fourth season.

The first three seasons of the rabbit have a large time span and a very compact story. In an episode, there may be a lot of small branches.

But in the fourth season, the rabbit changed the narrative style, and the timeline span was not so large. There are not as many story subplots in one episode as there are in the first three seasons.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Frankly, that's definitely a good thing. Because since the fourth season, the narrative style of the rabbit has changed, and it is more focused on storytelling, telling a detailed and complete story.

Instead of the previous one, the fragmented and chaotic story.
