The lion is certainly real!

Gu Miao likes to joke, but this time he is very serious, he is really ready to send Du Hao to Africa to see lions.

There are two main reasons why Africa was chosen over the domestic zoo, the first is that the lions in the zoo are too "docile".

The second reason is that there are not many lions in the zoo, which cannot provide a reference for the life of lions.

"Is there a difference?"

When Lao Zhang learned that Du Hao was sent to Africa by Mr. Gu to see lions, he asked curiously: "Why are the lions in the zoo docile?" Isn't it a ferocious prairie king if you live in a zoo? ”

"It's the king of the grassland......"

"But haven't you noticed that this kind of animal in the zoo has been raised and domesticated by humans, and its wildness is much lighter?"

"Wild?" Lao Zhang chewed on these two words and nodded subconsciously, "When you say this, it seems that you are indeed a little less wild." ”

"That's right!"

Gu Miao picked up the shiny black thermos cup on the table, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of hot tea.

It's easy to see why.

The lion in the movie "The Lion King" project is a wild lion, not a lion in the zoo that has lost its wild nature after being domesticated by humans in captivity.

Therefore, if the animation production team wants to imitate the real lion demeanor, it has to go to close contact and run freely on the grassland of wild lions.

Don't worry about security.

said that it was close contact, and it was not really for Du Hao to sleep next to the lioness and the male lion, but for him to observe the lions up close.

Similar to the shooting scene of the documentary "Man and Nature", the lens and eyes are used to record the charm of the lion.

This process will last for a long time.

Not surprisingly, the entire "Lion King" animation team had to be stationed in Africa for months, if not longer, until the film was finished.

……

December's national comic circle belongs to "Spirit Cage" and also belongs to Yitian Studio.

No work can take away the attention of "Spirit Cage" this December, even the second round of rebroadcast of "The Prince of Tennis" and the second season of "Qin Shi Mingyue" broadcast at the same time are no exception.

This is a phenomenal anime.

It's just that Gu Miao feels very sorry for one thing, that is, although the animation of "Spirit Cage" has achieved dominance in the ACG circle, when it comes to the "breaking the circle" effect, it is still not as good as the second season of "Qin Shi Mingyue".

How can I evaluate it?

The second season of "Qin Shi Mingyue" benefited from the wider popularity of the TV platform, coupled with the fan base accumulated in the first season, there are many passers-by and more well-known outside the circle.

Although the online animation "Spirit Cage" has a huge number of broadcasts and the audience's reputation is also one-sided, it has only become popular in the ACG circle.

Non-ACG enthusiasts, or passers-by who are not interested in domestic ACG works, only a small number of them know and have watched the animation of "Spirit Cage".

It's still quite embarrassing.

Every time I mentioned this, Yitian Studio couldn't help but complain, why is the reputation so good, but it can't "break the circle" like "Qin Shi Mingyue"?

The threshold for viewing is too high?

There may be this factor, but it's not particularly serious, after all, the viewing threshold of "Spirit Cage" is almost 12 years old and above.

Gu Miao helped them analyze it and roughly came to a conclusion: the problem of the subject matter!

The combination of the apocalyptic wasteland style and the sci-fi theme is destined to be just a carnival for some enthusiasts, and it is difficult to occupy the mass market.

No kidding!

Science fiction in China, whether it is literary works, animation works, or even live-action film and television works, is actually relatively unpopular and niche.

If you have to take Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters as an example, to prove that sci-fi themes are not unpopular in China, then Gu Miao has nothing to say, so she can only obey you.

If you dilute the concept of science fiction a little, add a little comedy, or fantasy adventure elements, or simply make it a mecha battle, there will be more passers-by and audiences.

Of course!

As a result of this, it may lead to the transformation of "Spirit Cage" from a Chinese comic masterpiece to a mediocre animation, and its reputation will decline sharply.

There is something to give, there is something to gain.

Since Yitian Studio chose this theme and achieved such a height, it cannot be said that they did it wrong.

It's just that the choices are different, and the final result is different.

Speaking of "Spirit Cage" animation, during the update of the Wanbao video website, Wanbao Animation also tried to poach its main creative team.

Surprisingly.

Gu Miao originally thought that when he had just made a masterpiece like "Spirit Cage", when the company was thriving, this contact would inevitably have no results.

Who knows, it was at this time that the interior of Yitian Studio was not calm, and a fierce dispute broke out between the main creative team.

The animation of "Spirit Cage" exploded online, with a strong reputation, and the number of online broadcasts broke the premiere record of Wanbao Video's original fantasy theme in the past two years.

This also caused contradictions and disagreements within Yitian Studio about the IP strategic planning of "Spirit Cage".

One faction thinks.

Since the spirit cage animation is popular, more derivative works should be developed around "Spirit Cage". For example, the "Spirit Cage" mobile game, the "Spirit Cage" live-action TV series, the "Spirit Cage" comics, the "Spirit Cage" setting album, and so on.

And the other school of thought thinks.

Deeply cultivating the work and giving priority to ensuring the quality of the sequel is the next most important thing to do. Even if you are not in a hurry to release a sequel, you can do prequel and sequel dramas like "Spirit Cage: XX Biography" to consolidate the existing fan base.

"You're on a crooked path!"

"You're just an antique, and it's a crooked way to shoot a live-action drama with a game? That Wanbao has walked the crooked road for so many years, how can he live more and more nourishing? ”

I have to say.

Gu Miao has set an example for too many peers, Wanbao is engaged in toys, mobile games, movies, comics, and live-action adaptations......

All kinds of seemingly unprofessional behaviors, but the more alive they are, the more nourishing they become, and they have even become the No. 1 animation industry giant in Asia.

This practice cannot be said to be right or wrong, anyway, within Yitian, some people are not accustomed to this kind of "not doing their job" behavior.

At this time, the main subject of everyone's discussion, Wanbao Animation, extended an olive branch......

So some people hesitated.

The internal contradictions in Yitian Studio were actually caused by Gu Miao, in the final analysis, he was the one who "brought bad atmosphere".

He was a forerunner......

Similarly, he is the only successful person in this "not doing business" model.

Many people joined Yitian, originally thinking that small companies were more pragmatic and could do animation in a down-to-earth manner, but Yitian's strategy changed and suddenly learned from Wanbao.

Scald!

You've become the same as Wanbao, so why don't I switch to Wanbao? The salary given by Wanbao is not much higher than yours?
