Some time ago.

Because of the company's financial constraints, Gu Miao rejected Guo Hongwei's project plan for "The Adventures of Little Carp".

But when the time came to the end of December, after entering the end of the year, a number of arrears were received one after another, and the balance cash flow of Wanbao Group was no longer as tight as before.

Although there is not much money left, it is still possible to squeeze out the production budget of an animation.

So, Gu Miao took the time to call the apprentice to the office, told him the good news, and explained some precautions to him.

The first is cost control.

Extravagance and extravagance have always been the bad behaviors that Wanbao Animation resists.

Gu Miao can approve the slip to the apprentice, but the premise is that Guo Hongwei must give a reasonable budget range, once it exceeds his psychological expectations, it will be impossible to approve it.

The second is to get the timing right.

After all, Guo Hongwei has just gotten married, and his wife is still pregnant with a child, and the due date is estimated to be soon, for him, how to arrange the time of work and life will be a top priority.

"Actually, you can take a vacation."

"There's no need to fight so hard, I'll definitely approve your leave, and I'll leave this animation to someone else to do it." Gu Miao persuaded with good words.

The human heart is made of flesh.

Work can be done at any time, Xiao Guo is newly married, and his wife is about to give birth, so he can take a period of marriage leave to accompany his family.

Generally speaking, Gu Miao will not only not get angry with this kind of reasonable request, but will even give good treatment, such as paid leave, reimbursement of medical expenses at public expense, examination fees, and so on.

He just couldn't figure it out, why didn't Guo Hongwei ask for leave? Is it necessary to work so hard? There is nothing to lose for him to take a few months off before starting work, so why bother?

"Who says there's no loss?"

Guo Hongwei said speechlessly: "There is a salary for vacation, but it is only the basic salary of the contract, and there is no additional bonus!" ”

"You're short on money?"

Gu Miao was speechless after hearing this, he is a well-known animation producer of Wanbao Animation, and he is considered a high-income person all over the country, why is he still worried about that bonus?

"There must be a lack of it!"

"With children, there are not enough rooms at home, and we have to buy a bigger house." Guo Hongwei folded his fingers and calculated, "The current housing prices in Jiangchuan are outrageous, and the communities I looked at before are all forty or fifty thousand flat, and my savings are not enough." ”

"You have to decorate your house after buying it, right? After the child is born, what milk powder confinement diapers are a big expense......"

"Okay, okay!"

Gu Miao surrendered and said: "You can do it yourself, anyway, I will say ugly things in front, you are volunteering to work overtime, don't say that I will squeeze you when the time comes!" ”

He really didn't expect that Xiao Guo would change so much after getting married.

Would he have thought about these before?

Stop it!

As Guo Hongwei's master and boss, Gu Miao knows better than anyone how chic and uninhibited this guy was before he got married.

】

As soon as the salary and bonus arrived, he immediately turned into a chopping party, various figure models, favorite electronic digital products, and game krypton gacha......

Spend money like water!

But it is precisely such a hair, after getting married and having a family, he immediately changed as a person, not only will he not spend money indiscriminately, but he has even learned to be careful and think more long-term.

This can't help but make people sigh, the fastest way to change a man and make him mature and stable is to make him a father.

……

The New Year's Day holiday has just passed.

As the calendar turns the old page and enters the new year of 2016, various associations, organizations and non-governmental organizations are also holding their own year-end summary meetings one after another.

Gu Miao rushed to the capital for a meeting.

He was accompanied by Ma Kui and Qiu An, who attended a series of official recognition events as the leaders of the "Lion King" and "Crayon Shin-chan" projects, respectively.

Originally, Du Hao was supposed to go, but he couldn't leave because of some personal matters, so he simply asked Ma Kui to attend the meeting on his behalf.

On Jiang Chuan's flight to the capital, Gu Miao and Qiu An chatted about the reorganization of Konjac Studio and the second original animation after "Crayon Xiaoxin".

Mr. Qiu is very thoughtful.

Since Konjac Studio decided to take the road of "funny animation", he has made up a lot of knowledge and watched a lot of classic funny and nonsensical animations.

Then he came to a conclusion.

In this genre, although the ultimate goal is to make the audience laugh, it can't be funny just for the sake of being funny, and something deep should be added to the plot.

"You're right."

"It's just funny, you may forget it after watching it." Gu Miao agreed with him and explained, "And those things that are worth recalling are the key to creating classics." ”

"The key may be a line, or an extremely vivid character performance, or a scene that is still fresh in my memory......"

"So I thought about it and decided to borrow from Cat and Mouse and add some artistry to the animation."

Qiu An said with a smile: "It's very simple to simply pile up jokes, just copy a few jokes or jokes from the Internet." But I think it's hard to be artistic. ”

"And what do you think?"

Gu Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "There are no outsiders now, just say what you think, I'll help you advise." ”

"Actually, it's not ......."

Qiu An touched the bridge of his nose and said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "When I was flipping through the company's internal files, I saw a project called "Burning Bun Valley". ”

Burnt bun grain?

Oh yes! Gu Miao suddenly remembered, this was Bugs Bunny's plan.

At that time, when he was working on "Cat and Mouse", he wrote it by hand, and then threw it into the internal file room to eat dust.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu actually turned out this plan from the file room.

Although it is very unexpected, it is also reasonable to think about it carefully, after all, the classification of "Bugs Bunny" belongs to the funny theme, and it is not surprising that it is targeted by Mr. Qiu.

"The so-called roasted bun grain, the exact name should be Bugs Bunny."

Gu Miao coughed, and then slowly explained to Mr. Qiu: "The name of Burning Baogu is just the name of the Yundian dialect that I messed up for a while. ”

"I see." Qiu An patted his head and suddenly realized, "I'll just say why this name is so strange, it turns out to be the dialect of Yundian." ”

This one doesn't matter.

Whether it's roasted buns or Bugs Bunny, although the names are different, they all refer to the same rabbit, so don't mind.

"How could you want to do this?"

Gu Miao smiled bitterly: "Didn't you pay attention to the plan?" "Bugs Bunny" is not as simple as you think, and the creation of this character is very difficult. ”

Arrogant demeanor, outliers, and an overtly superior sense of superiority are all distinctive character labels of Bugs Bunny.

It's a challenging thing to create such a character and bring it to life on the screen.

Is Mr. Qiu confident to do a good job?

In the face of Gu Miao's inquiry, Qiu An seemed very unconfident, and before he really did it, he didn't know if he could make the "Bugs Bunny" described in the plan.

He just likes, simply likes.

After flipping through the file room to the project documents and realizing the witty, playful and humorous rabbit, he was completely fascinated and even dreamed of the rabbit.

That's right!

This is his favorite cartoon character, and it is also an anime work that meets the creative needs of Konjac Studio.

He had a hunch.

Not only is he so fascinated, but when this animation is made, the audience will also fall in love with this rabbit.

Because of this, even if he is not sure to do a good job in this animation, and he does not have the confidence to create the role of "Bugs Bunny", Qiu always wants to try to challenge it.

Gu Miao was very supportive of him.

This kind of support is not only financial support, but also based on his understanding of the original animation, he also gave some suggestions to Mr. Qiu.

"If you're really going to do Bugs Bunny, then I suggest you don't think about the storyboard characters first, but think about the lines first......"

"Lines?"

"That's right! It's the line! Gu Miao said with determination.

Why is the character Bugs Bunny so fascinating? Do you think it's because of his handsome looks?

Not!

This rabbit does not rely on his appearance to eat, and despite his high appearance, he chooses to rely on talent and eloquence.

Who is Bugs Bunny?

is full of snack, clever and clever, and often does things unexpectedly, which can always bring surprises and joy to the audience.

To create such an animated character, the lines are definitely the core of the core, and if it is not well written, Bugs Bunny will not be so charming and funny.

"What's wrong, man?"

This famous mantra, why are other characters not so funny when they say it, but as soon as Bugs Bunny says it, the audience all smiles?

On the one hand, when Bugs Bunny often says this sentence, his facial expressions will be funny, and at the same time, the environment in which he is in also makes the audience want to laugh.

On the other hand, this sentence fits a wide range of scenes and events, no matter what happens, you can come to a sentence to promote the development of the plot in the future.

Don't see what's funny?

The description of language is very pale, and this needs to be looked at in the context of practical examples.

For example, in the original Bugs Bunny anime, there is an episode of a baseball game.

During the game, a group of powerful baseball players were bullying an old baseball player in his nineties, and the referee said a fair word before being punched into the ground.

At this time, Bugs Bunny, who was munching on a carrot and drilling out of the hole to watch the game, expressed his resentment and waved his arm to show that he could defeat all these despicable guys with one hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the group of baseball players on the field who were doing evil around Bugs Bunny's hole, staring at him.

"What's wrong, man?"

In a specific place and at a specific time, this ordinary line played a wonderful role, obviously not deliberately funny, but it was more funny than deliberately funny.

That's the beauty of lines!

Lines are the soul of Bugs Bunny, and without his sassy words, the charm of the whole animation will be greatly reduced.

So Gu Miao will ask Mr. Qiu that if he really wants to animate "Bugs Bunny", then he must work the lines.

"You want to substitute yourself for Bugs Bunny, imagine what laughing tiger and wolf words will pop out of his mouth in this situation?"

Gu Miao then added: "In addition to Bugs Bunny, other people's lines are also very important. ”

Actors who talk about cross talk have to take a heel during the performance to improve the performance effect!

No matter how humorous and interesting Bugs Bunny's lines are, if the other supporting roles can't be connected, or if they are not good enough, the performance effect and funny color will not be too good.

"I see."

"I'll go back and ponder the lines and see how to write them to fit Bugs Bunny." Qiu An nodded first, and then asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to besides the lines?" ”

"Yes!"

"What kind of rabbit do you think Bugs Bunny is?" Gu Miao asked playfully.

"Huh? Witty and kind, humorous and personable......"

"Stop, stop!"

Gu Miao rolled his eyes and said, "What you said is right, but you missed a very important point, and that is his ability!" ”

"Ability? What abilities? ”

"Whimsy!"

Gu Miao said without thinking: "Just like the gray wolf can do anything except catch sheep, and the bald head can do anything except cut down trees, Bugs Bunny is also a peerless master who is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts." ”

Rabbit bug messing with you?

As the protagonist of funny animation, Bugs Bunny is the "Supreme of the Rabbit World", and in countless anime with rabbits as the protagonist, Bugs Bunny's perversion is one of the best.

Before crossing over, Gu Miao had read a very interesting question on the Internet.

As the original saying goes, as long as Popeye eats spinach, he will become very strong, infinitely powerful, and incarnate into a superhuman-like existence.

And as long as Bugs Bunny eats carrots, he will also become very smart and powerful, and all kinds of shocking manipulations are at his fingertips.

So here's the problem.

Eating spinach and fried carrots every day, will you gain the power of Popeye and the wisdom of Bugs Bunny?

The truth and falsity of this speculation will not be discussed first, and the taste of spinach fried carrots will not be delved into, the point is that as a well-known anime character, Bugs Bunny's "perverted" ability is also one of the reasons why many children love him.

This cannot be ignored.

It would be disappointing if he hadn't reminded him that the Wanbao version of Bugs Bunny had turned into a mouthful of babbling rabbits.

Sassy talk + sassy operation = Bugs Bunny!

Just talking about sassy words, just having sassy operations, at most get a "you are so sassy" evaluation from others, and you can't become the supreme rabbit world like Bugs Bunny.

"Hearing you say that, this rabbit is quite powerful! Wander in the human world, and use your wits to trick everyone around. Ma Kui exclaimed.

"No, no, no! You are mistaken. ”

When Gu Miao heard this, he hurriedly explained: "The object of Bugs Bunny's tricks is not everyone, but those villains with a bad nature. ”

"So this work is actually a positive energy animation with the nature of punishing evil and promoting good......"

When they said this, before Ma Kui and Qiu An could say anything, Gu Miao took the lead in Bengbu.

Positive energy?

That's right, what Bugs Bunny did was indeed quite positive and positive, but this word is associated with Bugs Bunny, and people can't help but want to laugh.
