Penguins have been making big moves at the beginning of the year.

The animation of "Wild Story", which was tossed with a huge amount of money last year, although the decline in word-of-mouth is very obvious, and the typical high and low go are typical, but they still make money.

As a result, this year's Penguin decided to reach a new high, and presented another blockbuster online text adaptation animation - "Fairy Love".

Not only that, Penguin also aimed at the female market and launched an anime "From the Crown Princess to the Queen Mother" adapted from the female frequency online article.

Boy!

Not long after the first month, the hot search was dominated by the two animations launched by Penguin.

Relying on Penguin's strong propaganda matrix, even people who are closed off the news have heard of the names of these two animations, and the popularity of the whole network has exploded.

Two animations, one for male audiences and one for female audiences, are all adapted from popular networks, and there are many fans of the original work.

Based on this premise, whether it is "Immortal Love" or "From the Crown Princess to the Queen Mother", all of them are popular when they are broadcast!

Especially "Fairy Love".

On the first day of the premiere of the animation, the number of broadcasts has exceeded 500 million, and Gu Miao, who is teasing the child at home, is stupid.

500 million views!

Even if there is a suspicion of water injection, there should always be three or four billion, right? That's not a small amount.,It's one of the top animation works on the whole network.。

Don't forget......

Wanbao's own "The Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine" has not exceeded 100 million views until now, only more than 80 million!

With such a shocking premiere result, Gu Miao sighed with emotion, but also felt a little nervous in her heart.

Penguins are rising too fast......

Although backed by big capital, the speed of this rise is still beyond imagination, according to this momentum of development, it may be next year with Wanbao to compete for the so-called domestic number one position.

"The Guardians of Sheep Village need to come on."

Gu Miao also knows that the general trend alone cannot suppress the rise of penguins, and if you want to sit firmly on the throne of the leader, you have to launch a steady stream of excellent animations.

Guardian of Sheep Village is an animation he carefully selected, and it is also his first work after returning to the Pleasant Goat series.

This can't be messed up.

Under the pressure of penguins, Gu Miao once again raised the importance of "Guardian of Sheep Village", but he didn't say that this was the work he gambled on his career.

……

"The production of Yang Shou is different from the previous Pleasant Goat series TV animation."

"This difference refers not only to the style of painting, but also to the positioning of the work."

At the first meeting after the establishment of the production team, Gu Miao said with a serious expression: "The previous Pleasant Goat, what is that attribute?" ”

"Unit drama!"

Since the birth of the Pleasant Goat, the IP has left the impression that it is a unit drama animation, the kind of episode with a small story.

Even if there is a series like "Weird World Wars", it's just a spice, and most of the Pleasant Goat TV animations that everyone has watched are unit dramas.

And since the season of "Guardian of Sheep Village", Gu Miao has asked everyone to change their thoughts and concepts, and stop measuring the Pleasant Goat series by the standard of unit dramas.

Because from this season, the Pleasant Goat TV series is no longer dominated by unit dramas, but mainly serials.

This shift is important!

From a unit drama to a serial drama, the first thing that needs to be paid attention to is the problem of character design.

Let's take a simple example.

Why is Boiling Sheep and Sheep labeled as "licking dogs" by netizens?

It's not because in some episodes of the animation, his attitude towards Mei Yang Yang is too humble and flattering, so he is ridiculed as licking a dog.

But the previous Pleasant Goat was a unit drama, and in different episodes, the character settings of the protagonists will change with the plot.

Boiling Sheep only licks the dog occasionally, and most of the episodes are quite normal. In unit dramas, it's normal for characters to have occasional personality mutations in a few episodes.

But this is not the case with serials.

If the dog licking personality of the boiling sheep is confirmed, then he must lick from the beginning to the end, and there is no situation where he pleases the beautiful sheep for a while, and ignores the beautiful sheep for a while.

Of course!

This is just an example.

In the character design of Boiling Sheep and Sheep, there must be no explanation of licking dogs, and Gu Miao cannot add it to him.

He just borrowed the example of Boiling Sheep and Sheep to tell everyone a truth, that is, the character design of the series cannot collapse, and it must be maintained from the beginning to the end.

The consequences of the serial collapse of the characters can be called devastating......

Fortunately, the main characters in the TV animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are basically very simple and distinct, but they are not so easy to collapse.

The only tricky thing is probably the gray wolf.

"The previous gray wolf was basically a villain. But in "Guardian of Sheep Village", he needs to go through a transformation from a villain to the second male protagonist. ”

When Gu Miao said this, she felt a headache and said: "The process of this transformation must be shaped well, and the audience must not be misunderstood because of this." ”

"Isn't it whitewashing?"

A screenwriter disagreed: "In the previous few Zodiac movies, the gray wolf has already been whitewashed, I don't think it's too difficult." ”

"No, it's not the same......"

Gu Miao rubbed her eyebrows and explained: "The previous whitewashing was to give the gray wolf a step down, so that he could put down the mustard and cooperate with the lambs. ”

"But this whitewashing, it is not a simple cooperation, but a major change in the identity of the villain completely washed away by the gray wolf."

It's a logical question.

In the past, although the gray wolf had close cooperation with the lambs, can you say that he completely gave up catching sheep and became a good wolf from then on?

And the gray wolf after the sheep guard has indeed changed his identity, from an old enemy who loves and kills each other, to a reliable partner for the lambs to walk hand in hand.

To put it more bluntly, the change of identity of the gray wolf during the Yang Shou period is equivalent to the bald head Qiang changing from a lumberjack to a forest ranger......

"Ahh

When everyone heard from Mr. Gu's mouth that the gray wolf would no longer be a villain in the future, but the second male protagonist, they all showed puzzled expressions.

Big Big Wolf is not a villain and becomes the second male lead, so how can the story of the animated series "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" continue?

You can't just create a new villain every season and let the sheep and the wolf work together to fight, right? Isn't that just like a zodiac movie?

"Almost!"

Gu Miao did not deny this speculation, but nodded and admitted: "In the future, the Pleasant Goat TV animation will definitely be closer to the big movie, and the main line is basically the cooperation of sheep and wolves." ”

It doesn't matter who the villain is replaced.

The important thing is that the gray wolf has been the villain for so many years, and suddenly took off the identity label of "bad guy" and became a "good guy" in the eyes of children, can the audience accept this fact?

The sheep and wolf have been cooperating for so many years, and the moment it is really realized, will the audience feel awkward and disobedient?

Big Big Wolf doesn't be a villain at all, and I don't remember which one it is...... But in the book, everyone should start with "Guardian of Sheep Village"!
