Kuiba used to be the lingering psychological shadow of Little Bear, and it was also the last work that he never forgot and personally served as the producer!

More memorable than Haiwa.

Haiwa's failure can also be attributed to the fact that the work itself was not done well, and the animation production team was all pulling back their legs, gathering a piece of......

But "Kuiba" is different.

Kuiba's work itself, Xiao Xiong always felt that it was okay, and he also put a lot of effort into it. In terms of the production strength of Feiyang Animation at that time, this movie can be said to have achieved the extreme.

This is also the reason why Xiao Xiong is still difficult to let go, obviously he has done a good job, at least at that time, everyone did their best.

But the result is ......

Affected by various factors, after the release of the animated movie "Kuiba", it did not receive the evaluation it deserved, which is a thorn in the heart of Xiao Xiong.

Now that Mr. Xiong has completely delegated power to him, he is no longer as young and innocent as he was back then, so he thought of this movie and wanted to clear his grievances for himself back then.

He wants to tell everyone that Quibal is really a great anime!

“OK！”

Gu Miao nodded and said, "Of course I have no opinion, if you want to shoot the second part, then shoot it." Anyway, you have money now, and you are not afraid of losing money. ”

"What do you mean?"

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Xiong suddenly frowned, and his face was a little ugly.

What does it mean that he is rich and not afraid of losses?

Listening to the meaning of this, Gu Miao is actually not optimistic about "Kuiba 2"? Think this movie is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the past and follow the same path as its predecessor?

"Pretty much."

As a good friend and his son's godfather, Gu Miao couldn't bear to see him fall into the fire pit, so he explained.

"Kuiba's plan is very good, the background world view is very grand, and the narrative is very interesting."

But this is both an advantage and a disadvantage! Remember what I said to you? Quibal is actually more suitable for TV animation than shorter films......"

Yes!

To this day, Gu Miao's opinion on "Kuiba" has not changed.

He still felt that Kuiba was better suited to make a 40 or 50-episode TV feature-length animation that depicted the extremely grand worldview rather than a movie to explain the story.

The movie is too short!

Even if a TV is released first, when the worldview background setting is almost popular, it is okay to make a theatrical version of the movie.

Insisting on using movies to tell a story is not a good choice.

The Yuan Yang realm is too big!

The amount of information contained in Kuiba is also too large, and relying on a movie of dozens of minutes alone, I am afraid that it can only tell a slightly more complete story, and it does not reflect the advantages of "Kuiba".

Therefore, Gu Miao strongly suggests that even if Xiao Xiong really wants to restart the "Kuiba" series, he should start with TV animation first, and wait until the TV animation is finished before considering making a theatrical version of the movie.

"I'll think about it."

said that it was considered and considered, but Gu Miao did not see the slightest hesitation on Mr. Xiaoxiong's face.

Obviously!

Although Gu Miao has analyzed the pros and cons for him, Xiao Xiong always has his own insistence, and he likes to use movies to explain the magnificent story of "Kuiba".

Let him be.

The good things were all said, he couldn't listen to them, and Gu Miao didn't have a good way.

Anyway, Xiao Xiong is not short of money, he has to choose the most difficult path, no matter how bad the result is, it is nothing more than a loss of time and energy.

Think about the good.

Wealth can be used by gods, and ghosts can also be served!

With Mr. Xiaoxiong's current terrifying financial resources, if he is determined to do a good job in the movie "Kuiba 2" and insists on throwing money into it, the result is really hard to say.

It is not ruled out that under the premise of sufficient production funds, the possibility that the new "Kuiba 2" will perform well.

Don't use the original as a reference!

The original "Kuiba" production team, what kind of poor ghost combination are they? Can it be compared with the big money on the rich list like Mr. Bear?

The original version is not good, it doesn't mean that the bear is always bad, after all, there is a lot of money to a certain extent, and it can indeed change a lot of things.

……

Little Bear always wants to reboot the "Kuiba" series to correct his former self and Feiyang Anime.

On the other hand, Huang Kun, who had just finished the second season of the TV animation of "Roaming the World of Animation", also submitted an unexpected plan to Gu Miao.

"Zhu Bajie?"

Opening this thick planning book, Gu Miao was a little curious, why did Huang Kun suddenly want to make a mythological character animation?

What's more, as a well-known character in "Journey to the West", is there anything to dig into?

Doesn't Wanbao already have a "Journey to the West 3D" project? Wouldn't it seem cumbersome and repetitive to make another similar animation?

"No, no, no, it's different."

Huang Kun explained with a smile: "Although the prototype is Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West", the animation I want to do has little to do with Journey to the West at the story level. ”

"It can be understood as a re-original mythological story based on the background of Journey to the West......"

"A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky"?

After listening to Huang Kun's description, Gu Miao immediately thought of this work in his memory, and after careful comparison, he found that there were many places in the project that were worthy of the number.

The name is different, though.

The project proposed by Huang Kun is titled "Lucky Star Bajie", which is not "a pig Bajie falling from the sky" as he thought.

The name Fuxing Bajie, although short and easy to remember, does not seem to be as impressive as the Zhu Bajie falling from the sky.

"Do you want to change your name?"

After knowing that Huang Kun's plan was the work in his memory, Gu Miao had no reason to object.

Huang Kun is right.

Although "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky" belongs to the Journey to the West type of animation in terms of theme, this plot is no different from the original, but it uses the well-known mythological character of Zhu Bajie as the protagonist.

But if you change the main character, then this is a proper original animation.

From this point of view, "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky" and "Journey to the West 3D" are not the same thing at all, and there is no problem of overlapping positioning between the two animations.

"What's the name?"

Huang Kun was a little puzzled, he thought Fuxing Bajie was quite good, why did he change his name?

"It's good, but I don't like it." Gu Miao shook her head and said, "It's better to call it a Zhu Bajie falling from the sky instead, and it is rude and recognizable." ”

Huang Kun: "......"

Recognizable?

Changing the name to this one, it is indeed recognizable, but this name is too earthy!

He had only heard of a sister Lin falling from the sky, but how had he ever heard of a Zhu Bajie falling from the sky?

"Well, you have the final say."

It's just a film title, there's no need to talk to Mr. Gu, as long as you are willing to approve the project, let alone change the name of the animation, even if you let him change his name to Zhu Bajie.

Huang Kun, can bend and stretch!

Under the instructions of Mr. Gu, the project was renamed from Fuxing Bajie to "A Pig Bajie Falling from the Sky", and it became the fourth large-length TV animation of Wanbao Animation this year.

That's right, the big long ......

"A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky" doesn't look at the name thief cheesy, but the length is not short. The richness of this Zhu Bajie's experience is beyond the imagination of 99% of people.

This is actually even more outrageous than "The Legend of Nezha".

In everyone's impression, Nezha's life experience will be more exciting and rich, so the animation "The Legend of Nezha" is made into a 52-episode long-form continuous animation, which is also expected by everyone.

In comparison, Zhu Bajie's life experience is relatively simple.

It is estimated that everyone can think of it, except for Marshal Tianpeng who was demoted to the mortal and reincarnated as a pig during the period, it should be the experience of Gao Laozhuang and Xitian learning scriptures.

But who would have thought that after such a thin Zhu Bajie, the animation could do more than 100 episodes?

Surprised, right?

The number of episodes of Nezha's legend is only half of that of Zhu Bajie who fell from the sky.

Where did Zhu Bajie get so many stories?

If it is Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West", it is true that he can't tell more than 100 episodes of stories, and it is estimated that at most 20 episodes will be enough to tell him his life experience.

But "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky" is not an animation adapted from "Journey to the West", and the plot is mostly original, so this thing is ......

The Zhu Bajie you think is not the same person as the Zhu Bajie in the animation.

In "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky", Bajie's experience is simply not too exciting and exciting, and in the end of more than 100 episodes of animation, Bajie has not even met Tang Seng and Wukong who learned scriptures from the West.

It can only be described as outrageous.

But then again......

Although "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky" has more than 100 episodes, which is considered a large-length animation, in fact, these more than 100 episodes are cumulative length, just like the episodes of "Detective Conan".

Huang Kun did not finish more than 100 episodes of animation at one time, but did a part of it first, and then went back and did a part.

The plot can be connected.

Although it is a serial drama, each episode has a related plot, but it can also be regarded as a unit drama, and it doesn't matter which episode you start watching.

"It's a good anime!"

After sending off the excited Huang Kun, Gu Miao said to Lao Zhang on the side: "I think the potential of this animation is not even inferior to "Go Boy". ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Lao Zhang was a little puzzled, he also read the project of "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky".

It's interesting, but it's not as good as Mr. Gu said? How can you see that the potential of this animation is not inferior to "Go Boy"?

"You're ignoring a point."

"Zhu Bajie! As the protagonist of the animation, Zhu Bajie has a high degree of national degree and influence. ”

Gu Miao explained: "This is the same as when you make an animation, the protagonist is Sun Wukong, and it naturally comes with the blessing of traffic." ”

Zhu Bajie's traffic must not be compared with Brother Monkey, after all, Brother Monkey is a big hero in the minds of many people, and Zhu Bajie is just a comedian.

But here comes the problem again!

Although Brother Monkey has a lot of traffic and has a higher degree of attention and influence, there are too many animations with Brother Monkey as the protagonist, and there are too many to count.

On the other hand, Zhu Bajie......

This character, which has always been very famous and known to all ages, does not seem to have been born in an animation with him as the protagonist?

The first person to eat crabs can always eat to their heart's content.

The biggest highlight of "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky", and what Gu Miao thinks is the most attractive, is the protagonist Zhu Bajie.

This is one of the few animations with Zhu Bajie instead of Brother Monkey as the protagonist!

As long as you know Zhu Bajie, people who are interested in this role must have a look at it with curiosity when they hear the news.

That's a natural advantage!

That's why Gu Miao said that this animation has a great future, and its potential is not much worse than that of "Go Boy".

"Go Boy" is the hot flow of eating Go, and "A Pig Bajie Falling from the Sky" can also eat the hot flow of Zhu Bajie.

These two animations are the kind of themes that no one has done before, or few people have done them, but they have their own traffic and popularity, and it's hard to think about it.

"That's ...... too"

After listening to Mr. Gu's analysis, Lao Zhang nodded and said: "Animation with Zhu Bajie as the protagonist is indeed quite rare, and it is normal to be able to eat traffic." ”

"But this animation is popular, will there be an animation with Sha Monk, White Dragon Horse, and Tang Seng as the protagonists in the future?"

"Who knows?"

Gu Miao shook her head.

Journey to the West, as a famous work with a high national popularity, the characters in it can actually be taken out separately to make an animation.

But it is difficult to judge whether characters such as Sha Monk, Bailongma and Tang Seng can have the same effect as Brother Monkey and Zhu Bajie.

The white dragon horse should not work!

The presence of this thing in the original book of "Journey to the West" is too low, and there are not even a few lines, so everyone is not impressed by it.

The same is true for Monk Sha.

If Tang Seng takes it out alone to make an animation, it is likely to be feasible, but the character design can no longer be so pedantic, and it must be appropriately modified.

It's not just Journey to the West......

There are so many myths and legends in ancient China, so many mythical heroes, just take a few out and make animations probably have good results.

For example, the legend of Nezha, the legend of Erlang God, the legend of Jiang Ziya, and the legend of the White Lady......

Be reasonable!

It is said that American comics are the biggest treasure trove, but in fact, some folklore and mythological stories in ancient China have not low potential for adaptation.

It's just that at the moment, no one is aware of it.

Everyone is fascinated by the online adaptation animation, and they are bent on making a popular online adaptation animation, but they ignore the adaptation effect of local mythological characters.

When they react later, they will definitely slap themselves in the face.

The birth of the demon boy, the origin of the white snake, the return of the great sage, the Baolian lantern, and the havoc in the heavenly palace......

Taking domestic animated films as an example, it is not difficult to find that the works that have achieved results are actually inseparable from local myths and legends.

This is also the reason why Gu Miao strongly supports "A Pig Bajie Fell from the Sky", "Journey to the West 3D" and "Havoc in Heaven 3D Remake".

Domestic animation is really crooked.

Thinking about all kinds of science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales and urban love all day long, why not take a look at ancient myths and legends?

Let's just say, isn't it much better to adapt these widely circulated and well-known mythological stories and characters than your adaptation of those so-called modern or comics?

IP that has been fried for so many years.

Which IP has the popularity and influence that can wrestle with Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Nezha, and Bai Suzhen?

And it takes a lot of money and time to speculate on IP!

Trivia!

In fact, there is no need to pay royalties for adapting ancient myths, legends, stories or characters...... Doesn't that smell good?
