Chapter 975: American Humor
There are many outstanding characters in the plot of the animated "SpongeBob SquarePants", and almost every supporting character has a large number of fans.
Squidward, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Boss Plankton are among them.
The character settings of Squidward and Patrick, Gu Miao had already told Dave, but Mr. Krabs and Mr. Plankton, he hadn't had time to introduce them to Dave yet.
Is this important?
Of course it's important!
The duo of Krabs and Plankton is one of the souls of the SpongeBob SquarePants anime. If Beechburg were without Mr. Krabs and Boss Plankton, the anime's appeal would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
After all......
These two are happy enemies, but they have contributed a lot of laughs and stalks to the animation.
The secret ingredient of Crab Castle, which Mr. Krabs swore to protect with his life, is also a famous stalk throughout the animation of "SpongeBob SquarePants", and no one can miss them without them.
Speaking of Mr. Krabs, he has to mention his greed for money and miserliness.
How greedy is Mr. Krabs? This is vividly reflected in the fact that he is counting money in his dreams at night, and finding excuses to delay SpongeBob SquarePants' salary.
Because of his excessive greed for money and his stinginess, Mr. Krabs's image in the plot of the animated "SpongeBob SquarePants" is very bad and not very pleasing to the audience.
Contrary.
Many viewers think that this is a villain, right? Why does such a character appear in a nonsensical and funny animation?
In fact, this problem has to be traced to the root of the word "American humor".
Lao Mei's animation, the definition of funny humor, is very different from that in China. To put it bluntly, because of cultural differences, everyone's laughter is very different.
Mr. Krabs's greed for money and miserliness is precisely a classic American humorous character, which is very comic and funny.
For this kind of character, it can only be said that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise.
People do think it's funny, don't you think it's funny? That's probably a problem with different cultural and educational environments, and you really can't blame the screenwriter or the animator for it.
As for someone going online?
Because I saw the behavior of my boss in Mr. Krabs, I felt disgusted and sick to my stomach, and even suspected that "SpongeBob SquarePants" was whitewashing this kind of black-hearted boss?
It doesn't have to be that way!
Gu Miao has always believed that the setting of funny animations does not need to be too up-to-date and online to real life.
Mr. Krabs's greed for money and miserliness are essentially to increase the comedic humor of the animation, not to satirize or whitewash anything, which is not worth over-interpreting.
Putting aside all kinds of controversies or doubts, at least Mr. Krabs, as an "American humorous" animated character, Gu Miao feels that his portrayal is quite successful.
The image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
The anime characters who can do this, to be honest, are all amazing. Thinking about it from another angle, although Mr. Krabs is only an animated supporting character, his image is no less vivid than that of the protagonist SpongeBob SquarePants.
That's awesome!
A character like this is well worth calling Dave in the middle of the night to wake him up and make him understand the importance of "Mr. Krabs" to SpongeBob SquarePants.
As for whether Dave recognizes the importance of Mr. Krabs, Gu Miao doesn't think it's a big problem.
Even a Chinese like him can feel the strong American humor of Mr. Krabs, and there is no reason why Dave, an authentic old beauty, can't feel it.
……
Because of the time difference, when Gu Miao dialed the phone, it was still late at night in North America.
In order not to disturb Dave's rest, Gu Miao didn't talk to him for too long, but simply explained the character settings of the two characters, Mr. Krabs and Boss Ruffian, and asked him to attach great importance to it, and then hung up the phone.
Dave probably couldn't sleep.
But it's almost dawn in North America, and if you can't sleep, you can't sleep, so I simply got up early today to exercise, and then posted a social blog with a text: Have you ever seen XXX at four o'clock in the morning?
On the contrary, Jiang Chuan's sun was still high in the sky, and it was the busiest hours of Gu Miao's day.
First meet with representatives of foreign channel dealers, chat about the agency system and sales targets of Wanbao Toys Region, and then invite people to have a meal.
Then taking advantage of the fact that the outdoor temperature is not so low today, it is quite suitable to go out, and take Xiao Mori to Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School to watch the Jiangchuan City finals of the [Wanbao Cup National Middle School Tennis Competition].
This final is still quite popular.
Why?
Because Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has won the national championship since it won the championship, the original team that won the championship has been scattered, and Shen Chao, the captain and head of the tennis department, directly asked for leave to participate in the tennis center training.
Therefore, from the regional selection tournament to the current finals in Jiangchuan City, it is basically the substitute players who are carrying the team forward, and the winning team of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has hardly been gathered.
This also makes many people curious.
The incomplete version of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is so strong, so how strong is Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, which really won the championship, and all the members of the team are assembled now?
The most important thing is that the provincial and municipal finals will be reached soon, Shen Chao and a group of core players have not yet assembled, is this year's Jiangchuan champion going to change teams?
Not only ordinary passers-by think so, but also Egawa No. 2 Middle School, which is the opponent of the final.
The core players of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School are basically not there, can it be said that ...... This year's Jiangchuan champion, is it finally our turn to be the second middle school?
All right!
Just when the players and students of the No. 2 Middle School were all overjoyed, thinking that they could pick up a leak in this final and win a Jiangchuan championship title for nothing, a piece of news suddenly came out.
Shen Chao, the big demon who participated in the tennis center training camp, is back!
Not only is the No. 1 singles demon king back, but the core players of the original championship-winning team of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School have also returned to the tennis club to participate in training and will appear in the finals.
Now, the Jiangchuan finals, which originally had little attention, exploded in popularity.
That's the championship team!
Do you understand the gold content of the championship team all assembled, and the big demon king Shen Chao led the team? If you don't understand, please review the national finals in the summer and see how this year's runner-up was beaten by Egawa No. 1 Middle School......
The national competition has just ended, and as the champion, Egawa No. 1 Middle School already has a high degree of attention, and this is the first time they have played in a complete posture after winning the championship, so the excitement of the competition can be imagined.
Anyway, Gu Miao felt it.
The scene was crowded with people, and the small tennis court was squeezed into thousands of people. Not to mention the seats, a tree next to the stadium is full of people, how can there be seats?
Such a lively game is naturally not ordinarily exciting.
It's not about abusive food.
The strength of Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School is also at the level of the East China Competition, so it will not be shattered at the slightest touch. In addition, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School was negligent in training and not enough running-in, so the process was quite exciting.
Lose all doubles!
If he hadn't won all three singles, the dignified national championship might have overturned in the small Jiangchuan municipal finals.
That's a surprising result......
