Chapter 1052: Cross-Work Power System
When the news of the sale of the rights to the "Superman" series to a Chinese company spread throughout the United States and even the world, there were many people who cursed, ridiculed and even insulted Wanbao.
No way, discrimination!
It's normal for some people to be unhappy, after all, Superman wearing underwear was once a representative symbol of European and American culture, and many people are Superman fans for three generations.
Such a cultural symbol falls into the hands of a foreign company, and many people can't accept it emotionally.
The media is also unanimously declining.
Splashing dirty water on Wanbao's remake of "Superman", slandering and smearing it has become an alternative political correctness.
So it's not incomprehensible that like Weller, who just sold Superman to Wanbao on the front foot, turned his head and began to whitewash himself and belittle the Superman series to curry favor with the mainstream public.
In fact.
Whitewashing is the main purpose!
Weller single-handedly created the great IP of "Superman", which was once a hero in the minds of countless people.
But for the sake of money, they sold Superman to Huaguo Enterprises, which offended many passers-by and fans, and public opinion can be said to have fallen to the bottom.
In order to reverse the criticism, they naturally have to cater to the mainstream values of Europe and the United States, and stand up and make a statement: Clark Kent is only called Superman when he is in Weller's company, and under the banner of Wanbao, the so-called Superman is just a circus clown!
What do Chinese people know about Superman?
If they knew Superman and could be Superman, the cows from John's Farm next door would be able to compete for Best Actor in Hollywood......
"It's the enemy of the whole world!"
After opening the browser and glancing at the reports of various overseas media on the remastered animation of "Superman", as well as the mocking statements of the Weller company about Superman, Gu Miao sighed.
None of them are promising.
The lawsuit between Weller and Mardete Comics against Wanbao Animation has won the support of many passers-by, although it is a show.
Wanbao is about to be molded into a villain.
Anyway, according to Gu Miao's observation, public opinion in North America is now generally looking down on the remake of "Superman", which is about to become a popular meme.
When you don't know what to talk to your friend about, ask him if he knows about the Superman remake, and say, "The biggest joke of the century, isn't it?" β
In such a bad public opinion environment, the pressure faced by the animation production team of "Superman" can be imagined.
It's a trivial matter to be riddled with lawsuits.
In order to alleviate the pressure on the production team and avoid them being affected by various off-site factors, Gu Miao specially transferred 12 elite cadres from the legal department of Jiangchuan headquarters to deal with related lawsuits.
Jiangchuan Pizza Hut is coming!
Wanbao's legal department is not in vain, although it left Jiangchuan's home stadium and went to North America thousands of miles away to fight, and its strength declined slightly, but it is still very reliable to solve this kind of small lawsuit.
But then again......
This kind of lawsuit itself has no technical content, and the other party does not expect to win Wanbao, and it can delay a little time, and it will be considered a success if it is disgusting.
Compared with these lawsuits, Gu Miao attaches more importance to the completion quality of the remake animation of "Superman".
Because he knows that losing or winning a lawsuit doesn't change anything, and if the animation is not exciting and good-looking, even if the lawsuit is won, it is no different from losing.
Of course!
Fighting a lawsuit and doing animation are two different things.,It's best to be able to win the lawsuit and do a good job in animation.γ
Because of the time difference, when the rough cut sample of the remake of "Superman" was sent to Gu Miao, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning.
Gu Miao, who had just finished handing over the public rations and felt powerless, even though she was tired and tired, she hurriedly rushed to the study and read the rough cut version on the computer.
There is only one episode of animation......
Perhaps worried that Mr. Gu's English is not very good, directly enjoy the original film, under the premise of pure English dubbing and no subtitles, the viewing experience is worse, Dave also added Chinese subtitles very intimately.
According to the translated Chinese, the title of this rough cut sample is "The Last Kryptonian Son".
Just look at this title and know that it is the first episode, the beginning and origin of Superman animation.
There is nothing new in the plot, it is nothing more than an explanation of the causes and consequences of the explosion of Krypton and Superman being sent away by his parents, and there is no earth scene in this episode, mainly from the perspective of Krypton.
As for the big scene......
Maybe the shocking scene of the explosion of Krypton at the end of the film can be called a big scene of the explosion of funds?
Putting aside the big scene, just talking about the perception, Gu Miao felt that it was still acceptable, at least there was no obvious sense of discomfort and awkwardness, and it was very comfortable to watch the whole process.
In particular, the fighting portrayal and body movements of the characters have an obvious American comic style.
That's pretty cool!
The role creation of Superman's parents is also more brilliant than imagined, and they have not fallen into a face-painting impasse, which is what Gu Miao is most satisfied with.
If you have to let him pick on the thorns, it may be that Superman looked like when he was a child, and he didn't meet his psychological expectations.
"When Superman was a child, why did he look so abstract?"
Gu Miao thought about it carefully, it seems that in the original "Superman TAS", Xiao Chao doesn't look like this! Why did Xiaochao get plastic surgery and change his face when he got to the Wanbao version?
This one doesn't work.
It's not that Gu Miao has to pursue the so-called degree of restoration, but the little superman of Wanbao's remake, and his face is indeed too strange.
Not ugly, not ugly!
looks abstract, which means that Superman doesn't look like his dad at all, and Superman's dad's appearance is almost a one-to-one replica of the adult version of Superman.
What does this mean?
This means that, as the same person, Superman doesn't look like him at all when he grows up!
It's outrageous.
What's the matter? If you go to live on Earth for a period of time, can you change a person's basic appearance and make a drama of "Eighteen Changes in Men's College"?
Other than that, everything else is pretty good, except that Superman's appearance when he was a child needs to be adjusted.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the animation has not yet aired.
Otherwise, the audience will find out that there is such a big difference in appearance between Superman when he was a child and Superman when he grew up, maybe there will be some conspiracy theories!
If it's not good, Superman's father will be crowned a green hat by some unscrupulous fans.
β¦β¦
The animated remake of Wanbao's "Superman" is mainly based on Warner's "Superman TAS".
However, the Wanbao remake is not a complete replica of the TAS version, but in it, it incorporates the settings and backgrounds of many different versions of Superman.
What is a remaster?
Since it is a remake, it is to break the previous concept and reshape a set of setting system.
Obviously, the setting system of the Wanbao version of "Superman" animation is infinitely close to the later movie version of Superman.
As for this version of superhuman strength, according to the evaluation method of the previous life, it should be between the modern superman and the silver super, not a complete silver super, but a little more fierce than the familiar modern superman.
Just look at this strength.
Because it's an animation, it's a little stronger than the live-action version in terms of graphic expression, and it looks a little more powerful.
But when it comes to the setting system, when the live-action version comes out, it may not be a performance of strength!
Superman's combat power fluctuates.
Anyway, Gu Miao set a threshold, as long as the combat power does not exceed the upper limit of this threshold and does not violate the basic setting system, the rest depends on how the screenwriter writes.
If it is really fierce, it may be able to have the level of silver super, but if it is weak, it may also be crowned with the title of "superhuman shame".
It's all uncertain.
The only thing that is certain is that no matter how ups and downs there are, Superman's ceiling is always there, and the position of Optimus Prime of the Justice League is unshakable.
Speaking of this, Gu Miao immediately thought of a big slot about the common slots of American comic superheroes.
The power system is too mixed!
Taking Superman as an example, the same character has different sources of power systems at different times, some on the technology side, and some on the mystery side......
Can't you unify it?
Not only DC, but also Marvel has the same problem, the same superhero, the power system shown in different periods, may be very different.
Like the Hulk and Spider-Man.
It can only be said that the practice of restarting the universe and reopening the timeline at every turn is too hasty and brainless.
Compared with.
Domestic fantasy works do a better job in this regard, don't care if the story is attractive or not, at least the situation of restarting the universe rarely occurs.
If it is said to be cultivating immortals, then you will be given a set of cultivation systems for practicing qi, building foundations, yuan infants, and transforming gods, and it will not be modified and adjusted halfway, and a set of power systems will be used until death.
As for the early stage of the Douhuang blowing into a god, the later stage of the Douzun look at the gate......
You can say that the combat power system collapsed, and too many strong people emerged in the later stage, which is not logical, but people have not restarted the universe to restart the setting, and it is still a set of settings that are used to death.
The stupidest thing American superheroes have ever done is to restart the universe at every turn, and increase the threshold for entering the pit.
Gu Miao would never do this.
No matter how Wanbao's version of "Superman" performs in the end, anyway, the later live-action version, big movies or other derivative works will all be based on this work, and there will be no new set of settings.
Moreover, the setting system formulated by the remake of "Superman" not only covers the character of Superman, but also covers the characters of Justice League such as Batman and Wonder Woman.
Belonging is once and for all.
"When it comes to the unified setting system, a question suddenly comes to my mind." Huang Kun said curiously.
"Say!"
"In a work like Superman, where the story always takes place in the same world, it's not a big problem to keep the power system consistent."
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Kun frowned and said, "But if it is a cross-world, such as a work with a time-traveling element like "Roaming the World of Animation", how can the power system remain unified?" β
This is something that bothers him.
Although in "Roaming the World of Animation", there will be no pictures of "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong" and "Pleasant Goat vs. Xiong Er", and there is no need to worry about the collapse of the power system, but he still wants to know the answer.
"This is a cross-world, this is a cross-work!"
Gu Miao rolled her eyes: "A setting like this kind of cross-work, as long as it can be justified, I think it can be done no matter what." β
You said that Xiong Da Xiong and Xiong Er, hand in hand, can fight the Hades in the world of "Super Beast Armament" and can't raise his head, as long as you can give a "slightly reasonable" explanation, it's not impossible.
After all, it's all across works.
A cross-work power system like this has always been made up in the majority, and consistency is not important, the important thing is that you have to convince the audience.
Here's an example.
The classic cross-work masterpiece "Hulu Baby vs. Transformers" must have been heard of by everyone.
Just listening to the name is very grassy, but the power system of this work is not ordinary, and people have given a very reasonable explanation.
After the gourd brothers defeated the monsters, Megatron suddenly attacked, and the old fairy specially taught them that they could all use modern weapons.
The old fairy took out the laser gun: "If you want to defeat the Decepticons, you must also learn to use modern weapons!" β
Dawa and Erwa became missile experts, and Sanwa was a pure special soldier, equipped with a laser pistol on the basis of a copper-headed iron arm.
The fourth baby can breathe fire, equipped with flamethrowers and lightning mortars, the fifth baby can spray water, and is equipped with mine armor-piercing shells, and the sixth baby and the seventh baby can shoot rockets and spaceships......
What do you think "Hulu Baby vs. Transformers" is a magical immortal method VS modern technology?
Not really!
The author may also know that Hulu Wa's supernatural immortal method is too bullying Megatron, so he let them pick up modern military weapons and use technology VS technology for a fair duel.
"I see."
Although I haven't seen the masterpiece "Hulu Baby vs. Transformers", after such an in-depth explanation by Mr. Gu, Huang Kun roughly understands.
The balance of the power system across works is not to let you choose between a young model and a school flower, but to find a rich woman to increase the thickness of your wallet first, and then come back to support them.
"Fortunately, "Roaming the World of Animation" does not have a plot of Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, otherwise I would have to re-compile a power system, which would be too troublesome." Huang Kun rejoiced.
"It's really troublesome!"
Gu Miao nodded: "But an animation like "Roaming the World of Animation" doesn't need this. β
Is there any battle scene in the animated world that Little Wanbao crosses?
No!
Except for the worlds of "Dragon Fighter", "Lightbringer", "Digimon", and "Ultrabeast Armament", the rest of Manpo's anime works are ordinary worlds of peace and tranquility.
Marbble travels to these worlds, playing 4WD RC cars at most, catching PokΓ©mon with Ash, tennis with Ryoma, playing cards with games, and Jerry with Tom......
Scald!
What other power system is needed between these animated worlds?
Without battle scenes, there is naturally no need to consider the balance of power systems in different works.
The only thing to consider is that if Marbleo gets a deck in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, will she be able to summon monsters in the world of The Prince of Tennis?
"I'm not going to catch my outspin serve, come on! Let me see your ......"
"My turn! Usually summon ~ Chestnut Ball, activate the Chestnut Ball effect, discard a hand, and nullify your outspin serve! β
Ryoma: "......"
Ok, good, good! That's how to play, right?
I haven't watched "Hulu Baby vs. Transformers", and the content is all from others......
