Chapter 904: Plot Speed Bump (Ask for Subscription)
There is a recognized "card player" within the Wanbao Group, who has entered the top 100 masters in the world in "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Battlefront".
His name is Xu Hong!
After a series of award activities, Gu Miao, who returned to the company, was still very curious about what was wrong with the domestic players of "Yu-Gi-Oh", so he asked Xu Hong to inquire.
Xu Hong is recognized as the No. 1 card guy in Wanbao, he is not only a good player, but also knows many dueling masters in the circle.
After his narration, Gu Miao barely figured out the reason why domestic players failed in various competitions of "Yu-Gi-Oh" this year.
In simple terms.
The first two years of domestic players were powerful, and the champion of the competition got a soft hand, mainly because he ate the version dividend, relying on the understanding of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Huaguo Mythology" series of monster cards, and researched many black technology card decks.
But since the second half of last year, "Yu-Gi-Oh" has officially entered the era of great fusion, and a series of fusion cards launched by Yu-Gi-Oh GX are difficult to integrate into the previous card decks of the Book of Mountains and Seas and Chinese Mythology.
To put it bluntly, in this era of great integration, domestic players can only grit their teeth and give up their original mainstream card decks and create a set of card decks that meet the version from scratch.
The process is painful.
Everyone's favorite cards are emotionally reluctant to let them give up these cards and only choose cards with strong versions.
"To put it bluntly, most of the fusion monsters are not the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Huaguo mythological system, so the domestic players are confused?"
"Yes!"
Xu Hong explained: "The new cards recently released in "Yu-Gi-Oh" rarely have the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Chinese Mythology series. For those of you who love these two sets, it's a headache to build a deck. ”
"Okay, I got it."
After Gu Miao learned the reason, he immediately made a decision to let Wanbao Toys print a few more fusion monster cards of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Huaguo Mythological System.
It's not that hard to do.
The fusion monster cards of the Chinese mythology and the Classic of Mountains and Seas series, if you really want to design them, it is simply easy to come by.
Seven fairies fused, seven star mothers!
Thunder and lightning mother fusion, nine days Ying Yuan thunder universalized Tianzun!
As long as the brain hole is open, there is no worry about no fusion cards, whether it is the Chinese mythology system or the Shanhai Jing system, there are so many characters and beasts that can be used, and dozens of monster cards can be designed casually.
However, the printing card is the printing card.
The strength of these cards, or don't make it too perverted, a hundred flowers bloom is the best duel environment, otherwise everyone rushes to use the same set of cards, it won't be interesting.
……
The animation "Hell Girl" and "Super Cool Cat" were broadcast hotly, and various events were successfully held.
Here, he spot-checked the "Little Carp Adventures" project supervised by Guo Hongwei.
No problem!
The animation has been preliminarily completed, and judging from the current performance, it is indeed worthy of Gu Miao's investment, and it does not disappoint.
Merely......
While watching the sample, Gu Miao was keenly aware of a problem.
"The pressure brought by the leper snake to the protagonist group, will it cause the animation atmosphere to be too oppressive and heavy?"
The middle and late stages of the animation are better, but in the early middle and early stages, especially at the beginning of the animation plot, the overall atmosphere is a little depressing and sad.
This can be seen from the titles of the first few episodes of the anime.
The first episode is called Bubble Trouble, the second episode is called the Dragon Palace Adventure, the third episode is called the catastrophe, and the fourth episode is called Farewell to Relatives in tears......
Let's be honest.
Gu Miao is not the kind of person who is sentimental and has particularly developed tear ducts, and her psychological tolerance is not bad.
But even so, when watching the samples, he still felt very depressed and his mood would be affected when he saw that Bubbles was in trouble and was targeted by the skinny snake.
"Suppress first and then promote!"
Guo Hongwei shook his head and explained: ""The Adventures of Little Carp" is an inspirational type of animation, without these grinding and growing up in the early stage, where would the inspirational transformation come from? ”
In the online article, the protagonist's status or identity at the beginning is very miserable, either he is divorced, or he is recognized as a waste material, destitute, and ridiculed by the people around him.
Why is it designed this way?
Isn't it okay to give the protagonist a genius and a rich second-generation identity at the beginning?
This is actually to create contrast, as the so-called lower the starting point, the higher the achievement!
The protagonist of the waste material went out to pick up treasures and became a genius, which impressed everyone......
The genius protagonist went out to pick up treasures, and his status and identity did not change, but he became more genius and demonic, and everyone still praised him the same.
It's the same with bubbles.
The front leper snake gave him so much pressure, it can also be called grinding, although it looks very uncomfortable, but the back bubble grows up and defeats the leper snake, and the inspirational feeling comes out.
If the bubble has golden dragon scales at the beginning of the game, and beats the leper snake to the head, then what kind of "inspirational" animation are you? Where is the motivational element?
"You have a point."
Gu Miao nodded in approval, although it is old-fashioned and tacky, it is indeed a good way to arrange the plot.
However, there is also a degree of suppression and then promotion, and it cannot be suppressed for a long time, nor can the villain be arrogant all the time.
"There are still problems with the plot."
Gu Miao pointed out the key point: "You patronized the grinding and suppression of Bubbles and his partners, but you didn't give them a chance to show themselves. ”
52 episodes of animation, can't the protagonist group be aggrieved for a full 50 episodes, and it wasn't until the last two episodes that the salted fish turned over, right?
This will definitely not work!
It's not like this to play first and then to promote, you have to give the audience a little hope, you can't suppress it, the audience can't stand it anymore and run away.
"So what do you say?"
"Easy!"
After thinking for a moment, Gu Miao gave his own understanding and said: "In the process of the protagonist group's struggle with the leprosy snake, it can't all run away or lose, and occasionally let the leper snake suffer from it. ”
Nobody likes to watch the grind.
If the leper snake has a big advantage in the whole process, and finally collects all the five elements of dragon scales and is turned over by bubbles and others, to be honest, the plot is not very good.
What I want is that there are back and forth, and Bubble Aku and the others, who are on the weak side, can occasionally tease the leper snake and his men, and even make them deflated.
This is not necessarily frequent.
But every time such a plot appears, the audience who has been suppressed for a long time will usher in a moment of relaxation and smile with the plot.
Do you understand speed bumps?
Gu Miao asked his apprentice Xiao Guo to add a speed bump to soothe the audience's mood and reduce depression.
With this speed bump, the overall look and feel of the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp" will be on a higher level, and at the same time, it will also retain more viewers and entice them to see the end, so as to achieve the effect that an "inspirational" animation should have.
The plot of the adventures of the little carp comes from the folklore that the carp jumps over the dragon gate!
The carp jumping over the dragon gate implies the fighting spirit of moving forward against the current and striving for progress, which is also the deep meaning of the animation and the core value of the story.
Walking on the road, he was scratched by an electric car, and his arm was scratched, but the guy didn't ask, and ran away on the bike, really speechless......
