Chapter 469: New Animation: "The Origin of the White Snake"
In the nineties, there was such a strange phenomenon.
Many people are stubborn in their belief that everything abroad is good.
To put it bluntly, there is no self-confidence.
The main reason for this phenomenon is actually the disparity in living standards.
Although Xiangjiang is about to return to the embrace of the motherland, there is still a big gap between the mainland and Xiangjiang at this time.
No, when Kyoto TV published the news in the newspaper, it didn't take long for public opinion to change significantly.
Many newspapers began to turn around, praising the cartoon "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" directly to the sky.
And one of the most important points of view is to "raise the prestige of our country".
For example, the "Kyoto Daily" reported on the glorious deeds of the comic book "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" in Xiangjiang and other places.
and "Hunan Provincial Daily" also published a related article - "Looking at "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" from "Wulin".
The article pointed out that since he wanted to criticize, he would criticize the "Wulin" magazine together.
After all, "Wulin" also promotes martial arts, and it is also full of "violence", but children just like to watch it.
Such an article seems to be playing Tai Chi, but in fact, it is clearly standing on the side of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".
Not only major newspapers, but even some TV stations have also been involved, and some TV stations have even begun to contact CCTV, hoping to broadcast this cartoon as well.
Among them is the Sichuan Provincial TV Station.
In addition, Jin Provincial TV has also shown a strong interest in this.
At this time, public opinion began to be one-sided, although there are still many so-called "parents" who speak out against the broadcast, but most parents feel that this is nothing at all.
The children in the countryside fight every day, and there is no violence at all, isn't it just watching a martial arts cartoon!
Well, in fact, most of the parents in the countryside don't know about this controversy at all.
After all, at present, there are very few rural families who can afford to buy TV, and even if they buy TV, it is also black and white TV, and there are only a few TV programs that children watch, and they have no choice at all, so they don't care what "violence" is "violence" or not.
What's more, martial arts TV dramas are popular now, and this kind of TV series is also the favorite watch of teenagers, so naturally they don't care if it's a martial arts cartoon.
........
A week later, it's Sunday again.
CCTV's "Red, Yellow and Blue" program, with the sweet voice of the host Sun Xiaomei: "Please enjoy the second episode of the cartoon "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" below"
As the words fell, a familiar melody sounded in the children's ears.
"A man has the courage to go to the end of the world with a sword, and a daughter has a sword heart, and tenderness is full of hills and hills......"
At this moment, in front of the TV, countless children gathered together, some of them sat on chairs to watch, and some sat directly on the ground, but their eyes were glued to the TV screen, and their mouths sang along with the familiar melody.
More than twenty minutes later, the cartoon finished playing.
But the children still did not choose to leave, but sat in front of the TV and discussed the exciting plot in the cartoon.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's for some other reason.
Just when this cartoon was broadcast on CCTV and Kyoto TV, a large number of comic books of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" suddenly appeared on the market.
And most of these comic books look very rough, and they are not genuine at first glance.
But even so, these teenagers, who couldn't get enough of watching the cartoon, still took out the pocket money they saved a year ago and started a "rush to buy" war.
Not only pirated comic books, but also some toy factories seem to have found a business opportunity and have joined this huge business opportunity.
No, in many stores, all kinds of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" cartoon characters, cartoon pictures, and seven divine swords made of plastic have sprung up all at once.
For this kind of chaos, He Yun naturally received the news.
But at this time, he couldn't do anything except smile bitterly.
After all, this kind of peripheral products, in China, he has long been authorized.
However, now with the popularity of cartoons, the "IP" of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" has been stirred.
And it's a nationwide hit!
Whether it's a toy factory or a pirated comic book dealer, it's almost impossible to find because there are so many of them.
Even the major stores can't tell which factory produces these peripheral products for sale, let alone the so-called genuine ones.
Also, it is still the 90s, piracy is rampant, and the only genuine things may be textbooks.
After all, this is published by the People's Education Publishing House, and the authority of the state is there, and no one dares to take risks.
Moreover, the only platform for selling is Xinhua Bookstore, and other bookstores do not have it at all.
.........
"The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" is still on the air.
Laymen just see the excitement, but insiders see the difference.
After all, in this era when the animation industry is still "dominated" by the Modu Film Studio, it is difficult not to be noticed for such a high-level feature-length animation to suddenly appear.
No, on this day, in the courtyard, someone soon came to the door.
At this time, He Yun happened to be discussing the script creation of the next cartoon with Wang Qiang and others.
"He Yun, let me introduce to you, this is Zhou Fengying, the general manager of Kyoto Brilliant Animation Design Company, Mr. Zhou."
"Brilliant Animation Design Company?" He Yun looked at the young lady in front of him, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
There are very few female general managers, and even fewer can become general managers at such a young age.
More importantly, the four words brilliant animation gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Brilliant Animation Design Company is a subsidiary of the International Television Corporation, which is an organization specializing in the production of cartoons for CCTV." At this time, Wang Ruoyan explained on the side.
Hearing this, He Yun instantly flashed in his mind the 98 version of CCTV's own "Journey to the West" cartoon.
This classic cartoon, a total of 52 episodes, the first seven episodes were originally produced by CCTV and Shenzhen Shenzhen Rizhongtian Animation Design Company, and later for some reason, the company went bankrupt, and finally CCTV cooperated with the International Television Corporation, and was produced by Kyoto Brilliant Animation Design Company and Torch Animation Branch.
This is the later classic cartoon 98 version of CCTV's "Journey to the West" cartoon.
It can be seen that Kyoto Brilliant Animation Design Company and Torch Animation Branch are inextricably linked with CCTV.
However, at the moment, it seems that the torch animation has not yet been established.
However, Kyoto Brilliant Animation was established as early as 1989.
"He Yun! He Yun! What do you want? So fascinating? ”
Just when He Yun fell into deep thought, Wang Ruoyan on the side immediately reminded.
At this time, He Yun came back to his senses.
He smiled awkwardly, and immediately shook hands with the other party and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry, please take a seat!" Have a seat. ”
"Dare to ask Mr. Zhou ........ today?"
"Comrade He Yun, I won't beat around the bush with you, I came here today mainly to cooperate with you again." Zhou Fengying smiled and said immediately.
"Work with me?" He Yun couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's right! To be more precise, it is to cooperate with your Yunyi animation design company. Zhou Fengying nodded and said, then said: "I heard that Comrade He Yun, you have recently created a new cartoon script, and it is also a mythological theme?" ”
"Ugh....... There is indeed such a thing! He Yun glanced at Wang Ruoyan who was standing aside, but he said.
At this time, Wang Ruoyan was also a little embarrassed, he smiled, and quickly explained: "The tentative name of our cartoon is "The Origin of the White Snake", which tells the story of the folk legend Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. ”
"Oh,,,,,,, Comrade He Yun, can you briefly introduce this work of yours to me?" When Zhou Fengying heard the words "White Snake Origin", she thought for a moment and set her eyes on He Yun again.
