“…… Did I notice that there are twelve spells in the animation, and each spell has a unique magical power? ”

"Yes!"

Gu Miao explained: "The design inspiration for these twelve charms comes from the 12 zodiac signs, and the origin of the whole story is also based on the plot of finding the 12 zodiac charms. ”

"Then wouldn't it be better to design the shape of these twelve charms in a regular dodecagonal shape?" Huang Kun asked curiously.

Ah......h

Gu Miao picked up the planning document in his hand, turned to the page of the twelve charms, and looked down a few times.

The design of the project is an octagonal shape, and the front of each charm is engraved with a different color of the zodiac animal, which is roughly restored according to the original design.

At the time of restoration, he patronized the drawing of different zodiac signs, but he did not think about the shape of the charm itself......

Octagon, dodecagonal?

Both are of the "almost circular" type, with the difference that the dodecagonal seems to be closer to a "complete circle" than an octagon.

From a distance, the regular dodecagonal charm also looks more like a round coin.

"I don't know why you designed it into an octagon, Mr. Gu, but my idea is that since there are twelve charms and symbolize the twelve zodiac signs, it is obviously more in line with the setting to use the twelve-sided shape." Huang Kun said very seriously.

"No problem!"

After his explanation, Gu Miao also thinks that the dodecagonal shape is indeed more suitable for the setting of the "Zodiac Charm".

Zodiac, dodecagonal!

This is indeed a small detail that is easy to overlook, and maybe the audience won't care, anyway, the octagon and the dodecagonal, those are all charms, just use it.

But for Gu Miao, it doesn't matter whether the audience will find this detail, the important thing is that since he has found it, he must change it and change it to a more suitable dodecagonal.

Speaking of the Twelve Charms......

It was probably Huang Kun who made a good start, and the others also put forward some useful and useless suggestions around the design of the twelve charms.

For example, the diagram of the charm.

Because in the animation setting, the charm is only a small piece, probably only a little larger than a dollar coin.

With such a small area, if you carve a more delicate zodiac picture on the front, you can't see it clearly.

Therefore, there are many people who are in favor of the "simplification" scheme of the positive zodiac picture, so as to make the zodiac sign more intuitive and distinguishable as much as possible, so as to avoid looking at it for a long time and not being able to see what kind of picture it is.

But there are a few people who think that there is nothing wrong with the elaborate pictures. It's easy to tell if it's too simplified, but it's also soulless, and the dragon charm doesn't draw whiskers and claws, so what's the difference with the snake charm?

Gu Miao had her own ideas.

He felt that what was said on both sides made sense, the front of the spell was too small, and the carved picture was too fine, and it was indeed difficult to see clearly.

But if it is too simplified, it will cause each zodiac sign to lose its unique characteristics, which is also not appropriate.

"Let's sum it up." Gu Miao thought for a moment and said slowly, "The front picture of some spells can be a little more refined, such as dragon charms, which must have dragon whiskers and dragon claws. ”

"For other charms, the diagram can be appropriately simplified, as long as you can recognize what kind of animal this is at a glance."

"Yes, I'm fine."

Gu Miao's decision has been unanimously recognized by everyone, and this is indeed the best solution.

In addition to the charms, the background and character settings of the story were also discussed and studied.

On the background......

Because Uncle Long, the leading actor, is now more active in Hollywood, the background of the story is also in Chinatown in North America.

This is not only to accommodate Uncle Long, but also to avoid some embarrassment, after all, there are gangsters, shootouts and other scenes in the plot, so it is difficult for this to happen in China.

Of course!

Although the background of the story has been moved overseas, this does not affect the character setting, Xiaoyu is still Xiaoyu, and Dad is still Daddy, so it is impossible to change to a blonde foreigner.

But then again.

Because Mr. Xiao Xiong and Mr. Tan specially requested that the two of them also show their faces in the story, Hua Long, who was supposed to be the villain, was forced to change to Wa Xiong, and Sheriff Blake also became Chinese Sheriff Tan Sir!

Well, it doesn't matter!

Anyway, whether it is Blake or Walong, these two names are all "transliterated names" according to the English transliteration after the original "The Adventures of Jackie Chan" was transmitted to China.

To put it bluntly, the original name of the people was not called this, but when the domestic translation was introduced, they were given this name according to the pronunciation.

The roles of these two characters are not bad, which is very suitable for Mr. Xiong and Mr. Tan's appearance, and they are worthy of the money they gave......

"Mr. Gu, what about you?"

Hou Bin was very puzzled, it stands to reason that since this project is a "hi skin" play ticket work of Mr. Gu and Uncle Long and others, then everyone else has shown their faces, it is impossible for Mr. Gu not to show his face, right?

"Me? I've got a role! ”

Gu Miao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I have an exclusive role in this animation." ”

"Huh? Have it? ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the plan in their hands, and turned several pages in a row, but they still didn't see the so-called "exclusive role" of Mr. Gu.

"Don't look for it, I said there is!" Gu Miao pretended to be mysterious, "But I'm different from them, they pursue showing their faces, I prefer to hide my identity, low-key, you know?" ”

Hide your identity and keep a low profile?!

Thinking about Mr. Gu's words, everyone fell into deep thought, what does this mean? Did Mr. Gu show his face?

"It won't be...... Hmmm! ”

Ma Kui, who had the best brain, was the first to react, and was about to say his guess, but Gu Miao covered his mouth with his backhand.

Gu Miao gave him a look.

In this look, Ma Kui seemed to see the scene of himself secretly unemployed, holding a cardboard box and leaving the company under the greeting of his colleagues.

He's instigated!

Under the gaze of everyone "tell me quickly", Ma Kui shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know!" ”

It's strange if you don't know!

Although everyone rolled their eyes and expressed disdain for Ma Kui's lie, they did not continue to ask him, after all, it was in vain to ask.

Mr. Gu was staring at him, and at this time, he didn't dare to say anything if he borrowed Ma Kui's ten guts......

It doesn't matter!

Whether Gu Miao showed her face in the animation or not, this is not the focus of everyone's concern, the point is that this animation, with an investment of hundreds of millions in the first season alone, is definitely a big production.

There are only 26 episodes in the first season!

100 million, maybe more than 100 million, was used to produce 26 episodes of animation, and the average budget for a single episode was as high as 3.85 million yuan.

Fog grass!

After a little calculation, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

With a production budget of nearly 4 million for a single episode, what kind of fairy animation is this? With such a sufficient budget, it's no wonder that Mr. Gu is so excited.

With his style, this budget has to be corrupt and steal at least half of it, right?
