Chapter 1105: Martin is an infinite stream work?
As time passed, the animation "Martin's Morning" was coming to an end.
52 episodes in total!
According to the broadcast progress of two episodes a day, it will only take about a month. If you don't consider the replay, a month is the standard life cycle of a domestic animation.
No way.,That's the biggest difference between daily animation and weekly animation.。
If it is broadcast weekly, then these 52 episodes can be broadcast for a whole year, and the popularity can be maintained for a whole year, so it will not end in just one month.
For example, the neon division's "Inuyasha" and the North American division's "Superman" remake are still very hot at this time......
Some people may be curious.
Why is it that the current online animation, even if the audience has opened a membership, generally maintains the update progress of "one episode a week", and cannot be broadcast daily like TV animation?
The reason is that the popularity of daily broadcasting is too short-lasting.
The same animation, if it's a weekly broadcast, there may still be people discussing the plot a few months later, and paying attention to this animation has not been updated.
What about daily animation?
As soon as the premiere ended, the popularity of the animation fell off a cliff, and it soon faded out of the audience's field of vision.
It's the same with Martin's Morning.
The last few episodes should be the last afterglow of this animation. After these episodes are broadcast, the attention will definitely not be as high as before.
"Episode 50 is very interesting!"
"It does ......"
Gu Miao also watched "Martin's Morning" broadcast last night and knew which episode Lao Zhang was talking about.
This episode is really funny and follows Martin who turns into a puppet and is unfortunately discovered by the mischievous Romeo.
In order to rescue the old toys that were thrown into the trash, Martin worked together with the other toys and eventually won the story of Romeo......
The idea for the original episode should have come from Pixar's "Toy Story" series.
But in this parallel world, there is no Pixar Studio, let alone the famous "Toy Story" series of animated films.
This also leads to the fact that after the episode of Martin's Morning was broadcast, many people thought that the setting of "toys come to life" was cool, but they didn't expect this kind of wonderful development.
It's actually interesting.
Many of the plots of the animation "Martin's Morning" have prototypes for reference.
For example, the "007 Agent" series, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", "Harry Potter", "A Study in Scarlet Letters", "Ancient Greek Mythology", "One Thousand and One Nights", "Superman" and "Gladiator" and other movie animation legends.
Toy Story is one of them!
It can only be said that when he watched "Martin's Morning" when he was a child, he only thought that every story was so interesting and engaging.
I didn't find out until I grew up......
It turns out that a series of events experienced by Martin have prototypes to follow, and Martin is actually similar to the male protagonist of "Infinite Streaming Network Text".
Yes, you heard it right!
"Martin's Morning" or "Variety Martin" is really an "infinite stream" animation in a sense, similar in nature to "Roaming the World of Animation".
It's just that this infinite stream is not the other infinite stream.
The infinite flow of the heavens in everyone's impression should be to travel to the world of film and television animation, instead of or experiencing different events with the protagonist.
But Martin is different.
He didn't cross over, he just woke up every morning and the world would change dramatically.
This is actually no different from "crossing".
Although the events he experienced are also derived from film and television animation works, they are not pure originals, but original story backgrounds based on the originals.
So this is also the reason why the animation "Martin's Morning" is so attractive that you can't stop watching it.
After all, this is an infinite stream animation of the "original copy"!
In Gu Miao's opinion, the screenwriter who created the animation "Martin's Morning" is simply a genius.
You know, "Infinite Stream" was discovered and exploded as a new online theme, which was after 07.
Martin's Morning was born in 03, several years before the infinite stream of online texts.
It's really awesome to come up with such a cool idea in that era, and the creativity alone is definitely one of the best animation works of the 21st century.
It's not embarrassing......
To be reasonable, the concept of infinite flow was come up so early, although it is not very perfect, it is just a prototype, and it is still an original copy, which is already very powerful.
Anyway, Gu Miao found out.
In the animation industry, most of the works that break through the sky with brains, although the production is rough, but the creativity makes people's scalp tingle, were born in the 20 years from 90 to 10.
Before the 90s, although those animations were not bad, the creativity can only be said to be decent or even relatively conservative today.
It is not excluded that there are some epoch-making works, but the overall number is still relatively small.
After entering the 10 years, the animation industry has no particularly amazing brains or ideas, most of them are eating old books, or simply adapting online texts, adapting comics, and adapting ......
On the contrary, in the 20 years at the turn of the century, a large number of animation works such as "Martin's Morning" emerged, and to this day, the brain-hole creativity is still amazing.
For example, "Q version of the Three Kingdoms"!
Many of the "stalks" and "jokes" in it are put ten or twenty years later, do you think they are also funny and not outdated at all?
For example, "Madoka Magical Girl"!
Is the brain-hole creativity of this animation, including the setting system, very bright to this day, and will not make people feel outdated?
Why is this so?
Although the history of animation is not very long, it has been nearly a hundred years, except for the first "barbaric period", and the time for telling stories with animation as a carrier has exceeded 60 years.
So in these 60 years, why happened to be 1990-2010 when there was a burst of creativity? If you put aside the production of animation from other periods, the creativity really doesn't give people a bright feeling?
Gu Miao believes that there must be a "cross-century" reason for this.
The animators of the 90s and the animators at the beginning of the century were basically thinking about the same question: what kind of animation should we make in the new century?
At that time, everyone still had a great sense of mission.
In particular, the animation produced in 98 and 99, whether it is at home or abroad, has a strong sense of mission.
With the advent of the new century, everyone is full of high spirits and infinite reverie for the future.
Now, on the other hand......
Gu Miao was embarrassed to say, how can the current animators still have that sense of mission and responsibility?
Including himself.
If he wasn't a copyist, and he probably had rotten pus, how could he come up with an animation idea like "Martin's Morning"?
……
Gu Miao can't get used to the current industry atmosphere, especially the demon style that is adapted at every turn.
Will you die if you don't adapt it?
Nine of the ten new works are adapted, and if they are not adapted, they will not be animated.
He sometimes suspects that if one day the adaptation of comic games is suddenly banned, at least 80% of domestic and foreign animation companies will go out of business.
This is not an exaggeration!
Wanbao is already a special existence, excluding some sequels, at least the ratio of adaptation to original work has always remained within the reasonable range of 3:7.
And a friend like Penguin, almost ninety percent of its works are adaptations, and truly original animation is about the same as no ......
Other friends are no better.
The entire domestic animation market, whether it is TV or big movies, is basically adapted works, and original works account for only a small part.
It's about the same abroad.
If Seto hadn't lied, the neon animation industry had also been rotten in recent years, with light changes to games accounting for more than ninety percent.
Everybody's pretty bad, so there's no need to tell the winners.
"The reason why adaptations are so popular is that we are at the end of the IP industry chain."
Lao Zhang analyzed: "The creativity of comics is constantly supplying the animation film and television industry. Haven't you noticed that there are fewer original live-action film and television dramas? ”
"It's true that the TV series is also rotten."
Gu Miao shook her head.
Today's online dramas and TV series, like animation, can only rely on adaptations to make a living. The online dramas and TV series that have become popular are basically adaptations.
Lao Zhang described it as: the division of labor is clear!
Provide creative work, then hand it over to the author, and the rest of the comics, animation, film and television dramas, games and other industry people, just wait to do "secondary processing" with creativity.
In the past, when I opened a restaurant, I had to grow my own vegetables, stir-fry them, and serve them to customers.
It's different now.
Now I open a restaurant, go to the market to buy ready-made ingredients, ask the chef to cook the ingredients after buying, and then let the waiter serve them to customers.
What are you responsible for?
Take charge of collecting the money and you're done!
This kind of meticulous industrial division of labor is the core reason why more and more animation companies lose the soul of originality and will only be superstitious about adaptation.
"Excuse me, it's time for us to do that."
Lao Zhang said helplessly: "Grow your own vegetables, fry them yourself, and then serve them to customers, this model is too wasteful of time and energy." ”
And the risks are uncontrollable!
If the division of labor can be refined and the proportion of the number of adapted works can be increased, it will definitely save a lot of things and minimize the risk.
"You're right, but ......"
Gu Miao shook her head and said, "I don't agree, no matter what, Wanbao Animation must always maintain a 50% proportion of original works." ”
That's his bottom line.
Exceeding this bottom line is something that is absolutely unacceptable.
Gu Miao didn't want Wanbao to become like a friend, especially a penguin, except for adaptation, he couldn't find an original.
Originality is the foundation of Wanbao.
If one day, Wanbao Animation really loses its original ability, then there is no need to do anything else, just engage in sequels and eat old books.
Anyway, with so many IPs left by Gu Miao in hand, even if you really can't make it original, you can eat the old book for decades without going out of business.
Since there are no worries, why compromise?
Original animation is a risk, but the higher the risk, the greater the return, and the reason why you don't want to pay anything, and you want to make a lot of money?
"Then you mean, your next new work is still an original ......"
"That's right!"
It's all his own people, Gu Miao didn't deliberately hide and avoid it, and took the initiative to admit: "My new work must be original, as for the specific theme, I haven't thought about it yet." ”
In fact, during the Spring Festival, he had the question of what to shoot in his next work.
"Martin's Morning" is just a transition, and it is an unplanned change.
After the production of "Guardian of Sheep Village" and "Go Boy", he had the idea of "cutting the domain" and planned to launch a work to balance the neon division.
I went to a konjac studio halfway, and then talked about a "Martin's Morning", which has been delayed until now......
As the premiere of "Martin's Morning" is coming to an end, the plan to cut the feud is once again on the agenda.
Gundam is one of the plans to cut the domain!
However, it is difficult to suppress works such as "Dragon Ball", "Pretty Girl of Light" and "Sailor Moon" with just one Gundam.
So he decided to make an animation work with far-reaching influence, not to mention abroad, at least in China to suppress "Dragon Ball".
The goal is already there.
But the reason why Gu Miao said that "the subject matter has not been thought of yet" is mainly because this target work covers several themes.
Blue Cat!
When this term is mentioned, many people may be subconsciously stunned and don't understand what it is.
But if you mention the specific title of the work, such as "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" and "Blue Cat Dragoon", do you immediately think of it?
That's right!
Blue Cat is one of the few animated characters in China that can be called far-reaching and timeless.
Don't look at the new era, blue cats are not as well-known as pleasant goats and bears, but this is mainly because the times have changed.
In the early years, that is, when the Pleasant Goat had not yet risen, "Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions" was said to be the most popular animation series in China, and no one should question it.
This work can be described as a common childhood memory of the post-90s, and its influence is comparable to "the squeaky turn of the windmill".
It's just that the Blue Cat series does not refer to a single work, but a series of works with the Blue Cat as the protagonist.
Among them, the more famous ones are the two sub-series of "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" and "Blue Cat Dragoon".
In "Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions", it includes many series such as the "Star Wars" series, the "Dinosaur Age" series, and the "Ocean World" series, with a total length of nearly 3,000 episodes.
To put it bluntly, this series is too exaggerated!
It is exaggerated to the point that even if Gu Miao plans to make a blue cat series, he doesn't know where to start. After all, there are so many series and sub-series, so much so that his brain can't turn around.
The best choice is definitely to start with "Blue Cat Dragoon".
After all, 3,000 questions are too long ago, and 3,000 questions are indeed not as interesting as the dragoons.
But three thousand questions are Gu Miao's childhood, as for the Dragoon, I'm sorry! He has only watched the first two......
When it comes to blue cats, then you have to ask three thousand questions.
This series is so classic.
is so classic that as long as Gu Miao thinks of the blue cat and the naughty figure, the voice of "Uncle Ge" will appear in his mind.
"Hello children, remember who I am? That's right, I'm the actor who voices the blue cat, Ge Ping ......"
This damn picture sense!
Maybe I watched too many ghost animal videos, which caused Gu Miao's expression to be difficult to hold back when she thought of Uncle Ge now.
But this is not the point, the point is that he can remember it for so long, and let netizens remember it for so long, which is enough to prove how good "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" is.
