"Superman is a product of the old days."

"In the current new era, if you want the audience to accept Superman, especially young people to recognize Superman, then you need to implant some new ideas."

During the remote video call, Dave asked curiously, "What's the new idea?" ”

"To put it simply, answer the question of what Superman is."

Gu Miao gave an example: "In the past, Superman didn't need so many reasons or excuses to act chivalrous, just draw a sword to help when the road is uneven." ”

"But such a superman, the divinity is greater than the human nature, and the light is too dazzling. It feels like a perfect saint, too unreal and not real......"

The problem is obvious.

Not only in the early superhero works, but also in the neon close-up TV series, there is also such a problem, that is, the divinity of the hero character is too strong!

This kind of divinity will make the hero very distant, like a god standing on a high place overlooking mankind, so that the audience can't help but have a sense of distance.

It's not hard to spot......

The early Superman was portrayed as a god, and although Clark Kent had a human self-perception, who would really see him as a human being?

"Downplaying the Kryptonian bloodline and emphasizing the humanity of Clark Kent makes the hero Superman more grounded and closes the distance between him and the audience."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "For example, Superman will also face the trouble of rent, water and electricity, and will also hit a wall at work because of the boss's difficulties, and even buy a hamburger will pick a discounted style......"

A sense of justice, compassion.

These are the two valuable qualities that Gu Miao asked Dave to focus on, and they are also the most important reason why Superman is Superman.

Because of his strong sense of justice and compassion, he is Superman, not an alien with superpowers as everyone imagines.

"I guess I understood."

After listening to Gu Miao's story, Dave nodded and said, "Weakening superhuman divinity, this is what we have been doing. ”

"As you said, the divinity of the old version of Superman is too dazzling, and we will arrange a lot of human parts for Clark Kent in the plot."

"You can just look at this."

"Anyway, I only have one request, and that is to make the new version of Superman look more real and closer to the audience's daily life."

After saying this, Gu Miao picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and then asked, "That's right!" How many episodes of the "Superman" animation are you going to make? ”

"Of course, the more the merrier!"

Dave joked: "If the animation is very popular, I believe no one will rush to finish the "Superman" animation." ”

"For the first season of the remastered animation, our current plan is to do about 50 episodes first, and then decide whether to do it in the future depending on the audience's response."

More than fifty episodes?

Hearing this number, Gu Miao nodded first, and then asked, "If it is broadcast in the North American market, it shouldn't be done in one go, right?" ”

"Of course not!"

"In fact, we're waiting for the anime to be produced in 20 episodes before we start serializing it on TV." Dave explained.

For an animation with more than 50 episodes, half of the episodes will be done first, and then the rest will continue to be done during the broadcast, which can be regarded as a normal practice in the animation industry.

This can not only ensure that the production schedule is not dragged down, but also reserve a certain amount of emergency adjustment time.

Gu Miao had no opinion on this plan, he first affirmed the efforts of Dave and the production team, and then quietly inquired about the recent situation of Mardete Company.

After learning that Mardete Comics has not made a big move recently, but has only raised the retail price of a single copy of the serialized comics by $1.5, he was immediately relieved.

"It's time for Nantong's side to take action! The "Justice League" comics that I said were good, wouldn't I have drawn them yet? ”

"It's coming!"

Dave told Gu Miao that the Wanbao comic team, led by Nan Tong, has been preparing for the release of the comics.

Some time ago, they won a printing house in New York City, and they also signed a number of big names in the North American comic industry, and the first batch of "Justice League" comics will soon be on sale.

This will be the first worldview event launched after the "Superman" IP was bought by Wanbao.

The Justice League is formed!

The establishment of this organization shows the ambition of Wanbao, and superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Flash and Wonder Woman come together for the first time to face the crisis.

A very novel setting system.

The most interesting thing is that in the Wanbao version of the "Justice League" team, in addition to the familiar heroes such as Superman and Batman, there is also the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" foursome launched by Wanbao before......

It's a bit of a shame to say.

In fact, the IP of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is quite popular in the overseas market, and foreigners really like these four turtle turtles with strong kung fu, and have created a lot of derivative fanfics for them.

But the positioning of this IP within Wanbao is very embarrassing, it belongs to an orphan IP that my father doesn't love my mother and no one wants.

It wasn't until Wanbao bought the copyright of the "Superman" series and decided to build a superhero organization called "Justice League" around Superman that these turtles and turtles had a place to live.

Only superheroes such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman can play with turtles and turtles.

If you change to works such as "Sailor Moon" and "Dragon Ball" and link with these turtles, not to mention that the world view can't be integrated, the painting style alone is very weird!

……

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mooncakes have just been eaten.

The eighteenth episode of the animation "Go Boy" was broadcast, and in this episode, Jiang Liuer finally sacrificed the incomplete "Heaven and Earth Datong Style".

Boy!

This hand is the same, not only to the opponent stunned, but even the audience in front of the TV is stupid.

What chess pieces glow?

That's all trivial!

In front of the great harmony of heaven and earth, the glow of the chess pieces is simply not worth mentioning, just by looking at the special effects of this chess game, you can know that Jiang Liu'er used this trick is very amazing.

And that's exactly what happened......

As Jiang Liuer's "killer weapon", as long as he makes this move, he will definitely be able to win.

The only pity is that the old beggar told Jiang Liuer that his understanding of the Datong style of heaven and earth is not deep enough, and the Datong of heaven and earth at this stage is just a fragmented version, with no form but no god.

Is this just a mutilated version?

The old beggar's words made the audience stunned, even the mutilated version is so exaggerated, so the complete version of the world is not against the sky?

Jiang Liu'er thought the same thing.

The old beggar's instructions were taken to heart by him, and as soon as he had time, he secretly pondered the so-called complete version of the great harmony of heaven and earth, and the whole person was about to fall into the devil.

But after all, the Datong of heaven and earth is an old beggar, that is, a theory that the previous generation of chess saints have not been able to perfect, how can the fledgling Jiang Liuer realize the trick for a while?

And that's not all.

Because Jiang Liu'er exposed the Heaven and Earth Datong style in the game, the traitor learned the fact that Lin Xincheng, the former chess saint, was still alive.

So, the old beggar, who had only taught Jiang Liuer for two years and had not yet taught him the understanding of Go, soon received a box lunch.

After this drastic change, Jiang Liu'er was targeted by King Fu because of his face-to-face meeting of Qincha, and had to flee to Yingtian under the escort of the Demon Sword King.

The audience originally thought that Jiang Liu'er, who escaped alive, should become more and more frustrated, and be reborn with the will of the old beggar, Master Yuande, Jiang Lingyun, Demon Sword King and others.

Considers......

The fact that the old beggar died because of his own harm caused to Jiang Liuer was too big a blow.

The former pride of the sky, a genius boy in Go, turned out to be in a state of collapse.

Even if the image becomes sloppy, it is unacceptable to lose a key game and lose a good game, and give up on oneself.

It's not that you can't lose.

But even if you lose, you should at least lose decently, right? Jiang Liuer, what are you doing! Where did the genius boy of Go who played out of the world and defeated the five heroes in the chess world go before?

I knocked, so disappointed!

The audience has a feeling of hating Jiang Liuer's performance at the moment.

Jiang Liu'er, a talented chess player like you, playing chess like this, are you worthy of the expectations of the old beggar and the advantages that the Demon Sword King has laid for you?

"It's so embarrassing to look at......"

Many viewers are complaining that the animation starts from episode 18 to episode 26, and this plot is too depressing and dull.

Seeing that the Go boy who was high-spirited in the past and fell like a sword, now reduced to such a situation, many people have an inexplicable sense of regret and sadness.

But dull is dull.

The ratings of these episodes of the animation still have a great increase compared to the premiere period, and they have not been affected by the dull and depressed plot.

Soon, the turning point came!

The Demon Sword King, who is also a teacher and friend, chose not to say goodbye in order to lure away the assassins sent by King Fu, leaving only a letter of "Chess Saint Title Battle, Goodbye in the Capital".

This letter not only rekindled Jiang Liuer's confidence after giving up on himself, but also allowed him to pick up chess games again after many days.

Soon it was time for the tryouts.

When Jiang Liuer reappeared in front of the audience and signed up for the title of Daming Chess Saint, many viewers exclaimed.

The familiar, confident, and high-spirited Go boy Jiang Liu'er is finally back!

"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold......"

"Jiang Liu'er is reinvigorated, this time he will definitely be able to get the first place and accept the false name of this Ming chess saint!"

"Wuhu! Finally able to see Jiang Liu'er playing chess again, the Demon Sword King did a good job, if he hadn't forced it, Jiang Liu'er might still be decadent now! ”

"Anyway...... The Demon Sword King won't have an accident, right? There are so many assassins sent by King Fu, can the Demon Sword King really handle it alone? ”

"Don't worry, the Demon Sword King can't die, didn't he say it, see you in the capital!"

For the discussion of the animation of "Go Boy", many viewers stayed at the plot level and did not delve into the so-called chess game.

That's a weird thing.

When you talk to other people about the anime "Go Boy", you can talk about anything, but you must not talk about chess games.

Don't ask why......

If you ask, you can't understand it!

The animation's specially invited Go consultant, who is the world champion of the Go profession, is also the best of the best, and chooses the most suitable chess game from the famous games.

Can you expect these ordinary viewers who don't even understand the rules of Go to tell where Jiang Liu'er played this move?

Don't make a fuss!

There are not many viewers who can understand the changes in the chess game, and even see at a glance which famous game this is.

Of course!

Although there are not many viewers who can understand, there are still some, especially those in the Go world who were recommended by the Chess Academy and Xiao Ke to watch the animation, and they will also talk about the chess games of "Go Boy" in private.

Gu Miao cares a lot about the opinions of these professionals, because this determines the nature of animation.

If even professionals in the Go world recognize the animation "Go Boy", it means that the animation is very successful, at least very professional, and can withstand the audience's scrutiny and discussion.

If they agree that "Go Boy" is an animation that is more entertaining than professional, and the game does not stand up to scrutiny, then it will not be good.

Fortunately!

According to the information that Gu Miao lurked in the group chat of [Pig-headed Boy Won't Dream of Cyber Go Senior Sister], the domestic Go community, especially the professional chess players of the Weijia League, generally like this animation.

The chess games provided by Xiao Ke can still stand the test and scrutiny, and they do not rely on defense.

And the most acclaimed thing is that the animation "Go Boy" does not copy the famous game as it is, but will change and deduce it to a certain extent on the basis of the famous game.

Plainly.

In the animation "Go Boy", although Jiang Liuer's chess is based on a famous game, it is not copied as it is, but incorporates original deduction steps.

What a surprise!

The repetition of a simple famous game, these professional chess players may not be interested, after all, who has not seen these famous games?

But on the basis of the famous masters, some new content deductions have also been incorporated, which is worth their attention and learning.

That's right, learn!

The special guest Go consultant of the animation "Go Boy" is Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke is a world champion.

Therefore, the chess played by Jiang Liuer is actually the chess played by "Xiao Ke on behalf of the player", and the meaning of observing the chess game of the world champion is different for professional chess players.

The rave reviews from professionals were quickly carried to the animation comment area by some good netizens.

Everyone took a look......

Ouch! Even these professional chess players praise the animation of "Go Boy" so much, which means that the animation does have two brushes!

I'll have to take a look at that.

Although I don't even understand the rules of Go, so many professional celebrities have given praise, which is definitely not a bad thing, and it is not bad to just watch the chessboard shine.

Based on the above reasons, the reputation of the animation "Go Boy" is very good.

After all, you say that "Go Boy" is not good, so what is your identity? Do you really know Go?

If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense.

If you criticize the plot or something, you can still echo two sentences, but if you want to complain about the Go part of the Go boy, then don't blame everyone for spraying you.

After all, so many professional chess players praise the animation, the Go part must be excellent, unless you are a Go champion, otherwise how can you be qualified to pick thorns?

This made Gu Miao happy.

The original version of the Go boy is known as "good in everything except Go"! As a result, the Wanbao version has become "nothing but Go......
