Chapter 901: Romance and Official History (Subscription Requested)
It's not just "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
As far as Gu Miao knows, it seems that the above is planning to make all the four famous novels into animated versions.
That's a lot of work.
For the time being, only "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has received the real hammer, and Wan Bao received this project as the first brother of domestic animation, but there is no news about "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin".
"It should be done as well......"
Gu Miao said firmly: "I just don't know which company these projects will end up on." ”
"It won't be us, will it?"
"This?!"
Gu Miao scratched her head, and said after a while: "I don't know, go back and ask Director Wang!" ”
Let's be honest.
The IP of the four famous novels is adapted into animation, and ordinary companies may not have this strength, and they must have a big factory like Wanbao to reassure the leaders and thousands of fans.
So from this point of view, maybe Wanbao is really possible, covering two or even all of the four famous novels.
"I see."
Lao Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly realized: "No wonder there is only one news of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" project, this is going to see the results!" ”
The result?
That's okay, since Wanbao has done so well, then the rest of the masterpiece adaptation can be entrusted to Wanbao to make with confidence.
Poor results?
The adaptation of the other three works of the four famous novels may have to be cautious, and it is unlikely that Wanbao will be chosen again.
"What about using us as a pilot?"
After figuring out the trick, Gu Miao said speechlessly: "Forget it, for the sake of benefits, I won't care so much." ”
"Let's talk about it first, what should we do with this new version of the animation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"......"
Although it is a task assigned by the above.
But after all, this is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the IP of the four famous novels, you can't be perfunctory easily, you still have to do your best to do it well, so as not to smash the signboard.
As the director designated by the company, Ma Kui took the lead in stating that he had watched the old version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation 15 years ago, and also watched the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series remade a few years ago.
According to his thoughts, the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too classic and well-known, so it can't be changed randomly, and it is best to follow the original work.
"I agree."
Lao Zhang nodded and said: "The story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is similar to Journey to the West, up to ninety-nine down to just leaving, all of them are memorized backwards." ”
Under this premise, the slightest change in the plot by the animation team will attract controversy and criticism.
The best solution must be to not move a word, how the original book is written, how it is described, and the animation will be done, so as not to be provoked and said to tamper with the famous work.
"That's what I thought too."
Gu Miao has no objection, adapting the online article, the screenwriter will change the plot all the time, but there are fans to help wash the floor, praising your talent is far better than that of those online writers.
But the four famous novels have also been changed indiscriminately?
No matter how brain-dead fans are, they won't praise a screenwriter's talent as stronger than the ancients who wrote these masterpieces, that is, Luo Guanzhong, Wu Chengen, Cao Xueqin and others, right?
Be honest!
This is not an ordinary change, but a famous change, what is the gold content of a famous book, I believe that everyone who understands it understands.
"The plot follows the original book, but what about the characters?"
Gu Miao rubbed her eyebrows and asked, "This is the crux of the matter!" I remember the most criticized point of the old Three Kingdoms animation, that is, the characters do not match, right? ”
"Yes......"
The old version of the Three Kingdoms animation, in fact, received a very good response after the broadcast, after all, it is the first animation adapted from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in China, and most people like it very much.
But the old version of the Three Kingdoms animation also has a criticizing slot, that is, the character image is too different from the original work, and many people don't get the right number.
What?
Too much of a discrepancy from the original?
Is it difficult to understand this sentence? In fact, it's very simple, the old version of the Three Kingdoms animation is a plot that is based on the characters created in the official history, and then according to the romance.
This is what many viewers complain about and complain about, because the characters described in the official history make many people who have only watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" feel very unfamiliar.
There's a wonderful sense of disconnection.
Gu Miao didn't want this to happen, so he asked Ma Kui to distinguish the difference between romance and official history.
"What we do is the animation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", not the animation of "Three Kingdoms", which must be distinguished. Do what you want to describe in Romance, and don't get closer to the image of official history. ”
"I'll take notice."
Ma Kui nodded and said, "What we are doing is an animation adapted from a famous book, not a historical animation based on a history book." ”
"yes, that's what I mean."
Seeing that Ma Kui understood his thoughts, Gu Miao nodded with satisfaction.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although it seems to be a living history, is after all a romance made up by later generations, three parts true and seven points false.
What Wanbao wants to do is not to restore the truth, on the contrary, what they want to restore is the fake part.
"If you have enough funds, you can choose at will."
"I have only one requirement for this animation, that is, the rating after the broadcast cannot be lower than the old version of the Three Kingdoms animation, can you do it?"
"The score is not lower than the old version of the Three Kingdoms Animation?" When Ma Kui heard this, he didn't give an answer immediately, but turned his head and asked Lao Zhang, "How many points is the old version of the animation?" ”
"Not high!"
Lao Zhang said with a smile: "I just took a look, and the old version is only 9.5 points." ”
Only 9.5 points?!
Ma Kui's eyes widened, he never expected that the old version of the animation would still have a score of 9.5 while being criticized for not being able to restore the character image enough.
In other words.
The new version of the Three Kingdoms animation he made, after the broadcast, the audience score must reach more than 9.5 points to be considered passing?
This is outrageous!
Animation with a stable score of 9.5 or more,It may not be possible to appear in a year.,Even in Wanbao,Such a high-scoring work can be counted on one hand.。
Ma Kui, who didn't have much pressure, was suddenly stressed after learning that a score of 9.5 could be considered a passing grade, and his eyebrows were almost wrinkled.
"Mr. Gu, can you relax some standards? A score of 9.5 is too high! ”
"Can't!"
Gu Miao refused Ma Kui's request without hesitation, and said with a sneer: "These are the four masterpieces, not some stinky fish and rotten shrimp, believe it or not, you messed up, your father and mother will be the first to spray you?" ”
Ma Kui: "......"
He believed it!
After all, the older generation has not seen the Three Kingdoms, and his parents have gone to school, so they must have seen it.
If you learn that your son will make "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into a pile of, with the hot temper of the old couple, it may not only be scolding, it is estimated that you will have to do it!
A certain Sino-American co-production superstar once said that if you shoot and change a famous book like this indiscriminately, you have to apologize to the people of the whole country......
