The theatrical version of Crayon Xiaoxin should not be able to catch up with this year's Spring Festival, and it is expected to be released in the school season.

That's actually a good thing.

Although the Spring Festival is the time of the year, when the movie market is the highest, and it is also the time when people are most keen to watch movies, the competition is too fierce and cruel.

Avoiding the Spring Festival stalls seems to be a helpless choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but there is not such cruel and fierce competition, maybe it can win a higher box office in the school season?

There are no absolutes!

After leaving the konjac studio, Gu Miao was not in a hurry to go home, but turned a corner and went to Guo Hongwei's Feiyang studio.

The animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" will be produced by Feiyang Studio, with Guo Hongwei as the director and Lao Zhang as the producer.

Originally, Gu Miao felt that no matter how diligent and hard his apprentice Xiao Guo was, he was always a young man who had just gotten married, and his wife still had a big belly, so he had to be paired with a down-to-earth and reliable assistant director.

In this way, Xiao Guo's daughter-in-law has something to do, or she is about to give birth, he can also transfer the work to the assistant director as soon as possible, so that he will not be panicked and unable to find someone to take the shift.

The idea is excellent.

But who knows, Xiao Guo doesn't appreciate it, and he doesn't want Gu Miao to shoehorn the assistant director in the past.

If you don't want it, don't ......

People don't appreciate it, can Gu Miao still force him to accept it? He couldn't do that kind of thing.

Without a substitute assistant director, the production team of the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" has become the object of Gu Miao's greatest worry, and he has to ask about the specific situation every once in a while.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

As a veteran producer who has experienced many battles and personally directed and produced many excellent TV animations, Xiao Guo's work attitude is worthy of recognition.

Every link was handled very well.

Gu Miao mentioned before that the question about how carp can live in the marine environment has also been solved in his hands.

"It's a fictional animation!"

"Since it's a fictional story, what happened to carp living in the ocean? If I wanted, I could let the carp go to space in a spacesuit! ”

Guo Hongwei's face was confident and firm, and before the animation was broadcast, he had already thought of his rhetoric in advance.

"Good!"

Gu Miao admires his shameless face, and you have to have this kind of "informal" cheekiness to do animation.

He pursues logic and meticulousness in everything, always talks about rationality and science, and talks about Newton's coffin board at every turn, so what kind of animator is that?

The second dimension does not belong to Newton's tube.

The anti-gravity skirt has not been solved, a carp lives in a non-flooded environment, what happened to making friends with turtles and jellyfish?

"Our two-dimensional national conditions are here! What physical rules, what scientific basis, all have to serve the plot setting. ”

The more Guo Hongwei spoke, the more he seemed to have realized some supreme law, only to see him shake his head and say: "In the two-dimensional world, all the rules and laws are formulated by us, and in professional terms, we are the creator gods." ”

"For example, people will starve to death if they don't eat, this is an iron law of real life that cannot be broken."

"But in the two-dimensional world, I can make a strange setting, people don't eat, and they can get the energy necessary for survival just by breathing......"

Ah, yes, yes, yes!

With this ability to "make the rules of the universe", every animator can indeed be called a creator god.

From this point of view.

You tell a creator god that a perpetual motion machine doesn't exist, it's a fictional product, and believe it or not, someone backhanded a perpetual motion machine to prove that the set of physical laws you said doesn't work?

"You're right, but ......"

"After all, animation is a form of artistic expression that is born out of reality and transcends reality."

Gu Miao tried to use his own understanding to teach Xiao Guodao: "You can say that animation does not need to abide by the physical rules and special laws of the real world, but it cannot be completely detached from reality. ”

This is a paradox.

Animation is a product of fiction, and the stories told by many cartoons, anchored by the screenwriter and director, can never happen in the real world.

Here's an example.

Animations like "Bear Infested" are very unrealistic, because bears in reality can't speak, let alone walk upright.

But such an animation, can you say that it is completely detached from reality?

Not really!

No matter how outrageous "Bear Infested" is, no matter how unscientific Xiong Daxiong Er is, they are still endowed with strong "human nature" and "bear nature".

Xiong Er loves to eat honey, this is a bridge designed according to the characteristics of the bear, Xiong Da Xiong Er's style of speaking and doing things, and it is also a line designed according to human thinking.

So although "Bear Infested" is very unscientific and unreasonable, if you think about it carefully, this animation is not a purely fictional animation that is completely divorced from reality.

Animation, especially fantasy animation, must be detached from reality, not bound by the rules and regulations of reality, but also not completely detached from reality, or talk about the "basic laws".

"I roughly understood."

Guo Hongwei nodded and said: "It means that a character like Bubbles, as a carp, we have given it human characteristics, it can speak and be intelligent, which is the part that is out of reality." ”

"And Bubbles honors grandma, unites partners, is naughty but kind and brave, these good qualities of human beings are part of the reality that are attached to reality."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Xiao Guo understood the key to this, Gu Miao said with great relief: "The reason is very simple, you can understand it." ”

In a nutshell:

Newton can't control the second dimension, but Marton, Sheepton, and Bear can manage it!

Animation is an art form, and as an art, you can use your imagination to the fullest, but you must never forget the basic principle that art is born from reality.

If an animation completely cuts off the connection with reality, there will be a situation......

You're finished!

Like this, no one other than the director can understand the animation, so what's the point of shooting it? Is it to show off how talented you are in art?

Stop it!

The works of those abstract painting masters can finally find buyers with similar tastes, so they can be sold for a high price.

If your painting is appreciated by no one but yourself, and everyone thinks that it is based on defense, then it is worthless stool.

Animation is exactly what the name suggests.

In the most straightforward language, animation is a continuous and moving "painting".

So this principle is also applicable in the field of animation, you can take the artistic route, but don't take the road of "everyone is drunk and I am sober".

If you are the enemy of the whole world, then the audience will inevitably abandon you ruthlessly, and no one can appreciate art, then it is not called art.
