Chapter 498: Incomprehensible!
In the screening room, everyone was silent.
The cartoon that has just been screened, everyone says it's not shocking, it's definitely fake.
Needless to say, the special effects are much stronger than ordinary cartoons.
And the picture quality has also been significantly improved.
The most important thing is the plot.
Compared with the well-known mythological story of "The Legend of the White Snake", the storyline presented by this cartoon is completely different.
It can even be said to be a subversion of tradition, so that people don't know whether it is good or bad.
You say no, the beginning of the story is indeed very shocking, and when you think about it, I think it makes sense.
You say okay, it seems to be very different from the original, and there is a good chance that it will be criticized.
Especially some old people, their ideas are more traditional, will such a rash adaptation cause controversy?
This is a question worth pondering.
Also, the cartoon only has the first episode, and they don't know much about how many changes will be made later, and if the changes are too big, it will be a big trouble.
Instead of this, it may be more appropriate to change the external caliber of the cartoon to a new mythological story, and dissociate it from "The Legend of the White Snake".
To put it simply, it is to change the name of this cartoon, so that people will not be misunderstood, saying that this is the adaptation of the mythical story of "The Legend of the White Snake".
In this way, it seems that many troubles can be avoided.
"Ahem...... Let me start with a few words! ”
At this time, an old man with glasses spoke.
He first glanced at He Yun, and then said to Wang Ruoyun: "This cartoon, if you put aside the original mythological story skills, the adaptation is still very successful, this is the first point I want to say." ”
"As for the second point, I want to say if you can change the name of this cartoon!"
"Change your name?"
Everyone was stunned, and their faces were puzzled.
But then, He Yun seemed to sense the meaning of the old man's words, and immediately said, "Does Old Zheng mean to avoid associations brought about by names?" ”
"That's right! If you want to avoid trouble and controversy, you can only put aside this cartoon and the story of the White Snake and become a new mythical story, and what is this mythical story, as long as you don't contact the White Snake, just like the cartoon "Nine Colored Deer", what do you think? ”
"I agree with Zheng Lao's opinion, we can replace it with a prequel or other names, and we must not use the adaptation of the mythical story of the White Snake to name it, at least it must not be reminiscent of the myth of the White Snake."
"Then use the prequel, it's called "White Snake Prequel"."
"I think it's better to call it "The Origin of the White Snake" than "The Prequel to the White Snake"."
He Yun opened his mouth at this time and proposed.
Indeed, "The Origin of the White Snake" and "The Prequel of the White Snake" both have the meaning of the prequel, so why not use the previous "The Origin of the White Snake"?
Doesn't that sound more meaningful.
What does "dependent origination" mean?
As the name suggests, the beginning of fate is the meaning of the prequel to "The Legend of the White Snake".
It can be said that this is no different from changing the name before without changing the name.
He Yun felt that since he wanted to change, he had to change it thoroughly, and he couldn't have the name "White Snake".
That way, it's less likely to get into trouble, isn't it?
"I agree with He Yun! If we change our name, we must change it completely, not half! ”
"Mr. Zhou, what do you say?"
At this time, Wang Ruoyun looked at Zhou Fengying when she said this.
"Me? My opinion is not to change anything, let's try out an episode first and see the effect! ”
Zhou Fengying suddenly smiled, but said.
"Pilot?"
Everyone was stunned.
What is a pilot?
To put it simply, after the TV station broadcasts an episode, it is analyzed according to various follow-up feedback, and the ratings, satisfaction rate, and even whether everyone will strongly oppose it after the trial broadcast.
This kind of broadcast mode is not new, in the 80s, for example, Journey to the West used this mode for trial broadcasts, as well as many classic cartoons, this is the case.
It can be said that this is a relatively common pattern.
Zhou Fengying also took into account all factors that she proposed this way to solve this problem.
I have to say that Zhou Fengying's proposal is very good.
For a moment, everyone nodded.
"I agree! Let's try to broadcast an episode first.,I'll watch this episode.,The broadcast platform will be on Kyoto TV! Don't take it to the central station to broadcast it first, and then continue to see if it will be broadcast, or broadcast on a local station, according to the follow-up audience letters. ”
The person who said this was an old man with a relatively high level among the leaders present.
His words can be said to be the final word.
Everyone else, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end they all think that there is a pilot mode.
So, just like that, everyone expressed their positions.
That's how it was decided.
After the matter was decided, He Yun and Wang Ruoyun also left the compound and returned to the courtyard.
He Yun and Wang Ruoyun went directly into the studio and gathered everyone together.
Everyone looked at He Yun and the others, waiting for Wang Ruoyun to speak.
But Wang Ruoyun suddenly smiled and looked at He Yun.
He Yun had no choice but to stand in front of everyone and announce: "Ahem...... Today, Mr. Wang and I went to Mr. Zhou's side and watched the first sample episode on their side, and the result was that this cartoon took the pilot mode first. ”
"In other words, everyone has about two to three days of vacation or more!"
That's right, He Yun is going to give everyone a holiday, after all, everyone has been working for several months, it's time to relax, otherwise the body will collapse.
"During the holiday, everyone doesn't have to worry about wages, and the wages are still paid."
He Yun then added.
Then, he set his sights on Wang Ruoyun.
Seeing this, Wang Ruoyun immediately said: "Just now Mr. He said about the holiday, then I will talk about welfare, in the past few months, everyone has worked hard, after the meeting is dismissed, each person will go to the finance side for 500 yuan." ”
"As for the rice and noodles, I'll go to the warehouse and get them!"
Wang Ruoyun's words fell, and everyone cheered in unison.
To be honest, everyone has been really tired of working continuously for the past few months.
For this cartoon, everyone's daily and nightly work, the nerves have long been tense to the limit, and now not only have holidays to spend, but also money and materials to receive, how can everyone not like it.
…………
For everyone's cheers, He Yun and Wang Ruoyun glanced at each other, turned around and left directly.
Outside.
He Yun said to Wang Ruoyun: "Employees' wages must be paid on time, if there is no money, you must tell me, you must not let employees have emotions, you also know, the most taboo thing for a team is to work with emotions!" ”
"I understand! He Yun, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts! I'll definitely arrange the salary. ”
"Hmm...... Then I'll go back first. ”
Hearing Wang Ruoyun say this, He Yun couldn't help but nodded.
…………
A few days later.
The entrance of an elementary school.
A group of schoolchildren are playing with marbles.
Suddenly, a person rushed out of the school gate and hurriedly ran into the distance.
"Liu Xing! What are you running for? Play marbles with us! ”
"Yes! Liu Xing! You've got a hoop, take it out and play with it! ”
"Liu Xing, you can't go back so early today, we all said we want to ......"
"Alright! Alright! Not today! There is a cartoon to be broadcast on Kyoto TV today, but it looks good, my uncle said, this is produced by the company that broadcast "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" before, I have to go back to watch the cartoon! ”
"What cartoon is so good? Also, is there a new anime coming out on TV Kyoto? How did I not know? ”
"Yes! Liu Xing! You're talking nonsense! There is no preview from the TV station, so there are no new cartoons, I watched TV yesterday! ”
For a while, the surrounding children all surrounded the chubby child, and they didn't believe it at all.
But the little fat man swore to everyone and said, "If you don't believe it, you all go back and see!" It's really good-looking, my uncle said they think it's very good-looking! And it's possible that only one episode will be played, and you won't have to watch it in the future! ”
After Xiao Fat Dun said this, he burst left and right, and finally squeezed through the encirclement of everyone, he carried his schoolbag on his back, and ran straight in the direction of his home.
Seeing this scene, the other children couldn't help but believe in the words of the little fat ton, and many children also ran towards the house.
Only a handful of children did not leave, still playing with marbles.
"Cut...... That little fat man brags that he doesn't even make drafts, what cartoons, I think he definitely made them up.
"I think so, let's play our own, ignore them!"
"That's right! Let's still play marbles! ”
…………
Kyoto TV.
For the first episode of "The Origin of the White Snake", the TV station did not release a trailer before, nor did it notify the audience.
Instead, at a specific time period when cartoons were played, the cartoons that were originally played well were suddenly removed and the first episode of "The Origin of the White Snake" was broadcast instead.
With a beautiful bamboo flute melody played in front of the TV.
At this moment, many adults and children sitting in front of the TV were instantly attracted.
It's really this familiar sound of the bamboo flute that is too beautiful.
Especially the "Legend of the New White Lady" that was played not long ago, there is a similar singing segment.
This has attracted the attention of many adults.
However, when the picture broadcast in front of the TV came into view, everyone was stunned.
Adults soon discovered that this was not a rerun of "The Legend of the New White Lady", but an anime broadcast on Kyoto TV.
At the beginning, everyone had the mentality of giving it a try, and after watching it for a while, they found that the plot was very good-looking, especially about some special effects, which made adults feel that the action was done in one go, and the special effects were quite realistic.
And the children watched it with relish.
They don't care if it's the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" or not, they just think this cartoon is good.
Especially in the middle of the cartoon, there are some fairy displays, which make the children compare and draw for it.
It wasn't until more than twenty minutes later that the ending song sounded.
Everyone came back to their senses, and the melody of this ending song was also very familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere.
That's right!
The soundtrack of this cartoon was rearranged by a professional music teacher after Wang Ruoyun bought the copyright, and played it with traditional instruments such as flutes and guzheng.
The theme song has no words, just a pure bamboo flute sound, and the ending song is poignant and regretful, with a hint of cheerfulness, and the words are almost the same as the TV series.
These naturally make many viewers feel a feeling that is both familiar and different.
It can be said that the pilot of this episode was very successful.
made the audience in front of the TV not feel abrupt, but felt that the previous life of the White Lady and Xu Xian was like this.
…………
Quadrangle.
He Yun's family is also sitting in front of the TV watching this cartoon at the moment.
Rewatching it again, He Yun found that there were still many different feelings in this episode.
Especially the soundtrack, although it can't be compared with "TV series", it is already very suitable for the plot of the whole cartoon.
And many of the tunes have a lot of similarities with the original "The Legend of the New White Lady".
Arguably, this is one of the most successful aspects of the entire cartoon.
"He Yun, you did a very good job of filming this cartoon!" After Gao Yunyan read it, she couldn't help but praise.
"Yes! It's so beautiful, even I think it's novel! It is also very consistent with the original White Snake and Xu Xian's previous life. ”
"Fourth brother, is this cartoon only broadcast one episode a day? Can you broadcast two episodes a day? I can't wait to watch the second episode! ”
"It's gone! At present, there is only one episode, this is a pilot broadcast, and you have to consider whether it will be broadcast in the follow-up according to the feedback from the audience, as well as the number of episodes broadcast per day. He Yun smiled, and immediately shook his head and explained.
"Ah...... Not anymore! Then I'll go to Brother Wang's to see! ”
"They don't have samples either, it's useless for you to go to him, now the key is to watch ......"
"Why am I telling you this!" He Yun smiled and immediately stood up.
"I'll go outside for a walk."
As he spoke, He Yun seemed to remember something, and immediately walked outside.
Soon, he came to the courtyard where Wang Ruoyun was.
"Ahem......"
Pushing open the door of the studio, He Yun saw that everyone was there, and they were sitting in front of the TV and discussing.
"Everyone's there? Is there anything you'd like to say? ”
He Yun walked over and said to everyone.
"He Yun! There you are! Everyone's talking about it! After Wang Ruoyun moved a chair for He Yun to sit down, he immediately said.
"Oh...... How do you feel? What do you think? You alright! Or do people still recognize their work? How many points can you score? He Yun smiled slightly, and then said to everyone.
"Seventy, right?"
"Why is it only seventy points, it's too low, I think it's at least eighty-five points!"
"Ninety points! At least 90 points! ”
…………
For a while, everyone expressed their opinions.
But most people feel that this is not stable for cartoons.
"Ahem...... Li Yi, what about you? I see that your face is full of puzzlement, your brows are furrowed, if you have anything to say, just say it! ”
He Yun saw the person sitting on the far right at this time, and asked with a smile.
"Ahem...... Mr. He, Mr. Wang! I always thought there was something missing about this cartoon, but I can't remember it again! Li Yi hesitated, glanced at everyone, and said immediately.
"Oh...... What's missing? He Yun was stunned for a moment.
