Ma Kui is not unfounded.

In fact, although there are few sports fans in China, there have been several excellent works, most of which are "football" animation works.

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

Even if these plots are great and the quality of the sports is good, they haven't received too good a response after the broadcast.

"Ping Pong Whirlwind"!

This is Ma Kui's impression, and the domestic sports that have done quite well. As a result, the results were also tepid, not to mention how good they were.

The only sports that can produce results are mostly the kind that sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, such as anime like "Sheep Games".

Pure sports theme,It can be described as the unpopular in the field of Chinese comics,It's almost impossible to find a masterpiece with outstanding results。

Based on this premise.

Ma Kui is not very optimistic, and Mr. Gu plans to use "tennis" as the theme to create a domestic sports fan.

"You're right......"

"But I still think that good works shine no matter what the subject matter is. As long as the quality of the work is excellent, unpopular themes may not be without spring. ”

Gu Miao said confidently, "When I first proposed to make Digimon, didn't you also express your disapproval? ”

"That's not the same ......"

"Nothing different."

Gu Miao pursed her lips and said, "When Xiao Guo proposed to make a martial arts anime, you also said that martial arts are dead. As it turns out, don't say it too soon, and be careful of being slapped in the face in the future. ”

Unpopular subject matter?

It's nothing at all!

Whether an animation is good or not, and whether it can attract the audience, is not determined by the subject matter, but by the story and the quality of completion.

No matter how good the subject matter is, no one will watch it if it is made into a piece of.

The subject matter is unpopular and niche, and if it is done well, it can still attract countless people into the pit and become their enlightenment work in this theme.

Don't be short-sighted!

After criticizing Ma Kui's old thinking, Gu Miao immediately said: "There are two sides to everything, there are very few tennis-themed animations, as long as we don't do too badly, we will be the leader in this field." ”

"Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

Ma Kui raised his hands and surrendered: "I can't say anything about you, anyway, you are the boss, you have the final say." ”

"I'm just curious to know, how to write the plot of this story that revolves around tennis?"

"I've been prepared."

Gu Miao lowered her body and rummaged through the drawer to find a project that had fallen into dust, handed it to Ma Kui and said, "Look at this!" ”

……

Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.

With the arrival of the new autumn semester of the new year, a freshman named Ryoma encountered and defeated many second- and third-year seniors in the tennis club's intramural ranking tournament and became the main player of the tennis club.

And Ryoma's identity turned out to be the son of tennis legend Long Nantian......

Young Juggernaut!

From the Jiangchuan City Competition, to the East China Competition, and then to the National Competition, Ryoma and the partners of the tennis department went all the way forward and finally won the championship of the national competition.

Ma Kui, who had been carefully watching this plan for half an hour, asked speechlessly under Gu Miao's expectant eyes, "Why Jiang Chuan again?" Why is it always Egawa? ”

"How can there be so many why?"

"Because our Wanbao is in Jiangchuan, the school where the protagonist is located will be Jiangchuan."

Gu Miao said indifferently: "Say it again!" The appearance rate of other middle schools is not low! Qiushi Middle School, which is also in East China, didn't it win two consecutive championships in the national competition? ”

"Oh, too!"

After Ma Kui experienced the speechlessness at the beginning, he quickly came back to his senses, as if in this project, Jiang Chuan is indeed more than just eye-catching.

Other schools are just as strong!

Qiushi Middle School, Meijiang Middle School, Maotanchang Middle School, Hengshui Middle School......

There are a lot of bright schools!

Similarly, in addition to the protagonist Ryoma's Egawa Ichichu, there are not a few star players from other schools.

For example, the minister of Qiushi Middle School, Xing Village, who is known as the "son of God", and Zhen Tian, the deputy minister.

There is also the arrogant minister of the private Meijiang Middle School, Gu Sen, who was born in a wealthy family and the heir of the Gu Foundation, etc., these are all "national" players mentioned in the plan.

Of course!

That's not the point, the point is that this draft plan, how does it give people a "half-finished" feeling?

"I really didn't finish writing ......"

Gu Miao wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and said, "If there is no accident in the future, there should be a U17 training camp, that is, the chapter of the World Championship." ”

"But in the first season, I think it's enough to play the national competition. As for the U17 and Worlds, it's better to leave it for the second season......"

In fact.

It's a bit too much to play in the national competition, and Gu Miao personally thinks that it would be better to end the first season in the East China competition.

No way!

This is the animation of "The Prince of Tennis" that he copied,Compared with the situation where neon is often serialized for a whole year or even two or three years,Guoman obviously does not allow too long a serialization。

In general, 50 episodes is enough.

More than 100 episodes of animation, it can be regarded as a super super long story in China! As for hundreds of episodes of animation, I'm afraid only "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested" can withstand it.

The overall narrative rhythm of "The Prince of Tennis" is slow, and a more critical game may have to be narrated with several episodes of animation.

A game plays several episodes, then the question arises......

How many episodes does it take to reach the national competition?

Obviously!

This duration must be controlled, and Gu Miao doesn't want to shoot stinky and long. But the narrative rhythm can't be easily disrupted, so what to do?

It can only be cut halfway, and the story of one stage is cut into several parts, and the animation is broadcast in several seasons.

Gu Miao's plan was.

The Wanbao version of the "Prince of Tennis" animation, the first season depends on the situation, and the first season episodes are controlled within 100 episodes as much as possible.

If you can't do it......

That's pretty simple, the national competition can only be saved for the second season. As for the U17 training camp and the World Championship, it will be postponed to the third season.

“OK！”

Ma Kui has no objection to this arrangement.

Although it was only a project, he could also see that the story called "The Prince of Tennis" would be very long, and one season of animation would not be finished.

It's also good to shoot a few more seasons.

He is actually more concerned about another issue than the fact that the animation is divided into seasons.

"Mr. Gu......"

"Are you sure we really won't get sprayed if we do this?"

Ma Kui's expression was distorted, and he pointed to the project and mentioned the players' ball skills, especially the various "outrageous" ball skills at home: "This kind of ball skill already belongs to the fantasy category, right?" ”

Nima!

Although he has never seen the world and has never played tennis, he has received nine years of compulsory education and knows what basic common sense is.

What is this?

What kind of field is it, Feiyan is still in the nest, he said that it is acceptable, but what is the thing that can destroy the five senses? What is the realm of selflessness?

Are you sure it's playing tennis?!
