My Animation Era Chapter 1082

The animation "Go Boy" lasted nearly a month from its first broadcast to its completion.

During this period, apart from going to the gym to show off and using protein powder to try to save her greasy figure, Gu Miao also did another thing.

The World Youth Go Competition, hosted by Wanbao Group and named after the animation "Go Boy", will open the preliminaries registration channel on November 11.

The World Series is a joke…

After all, as we all know, the game of Go has always been dominated by China, Japan and South Korea. Although there are masters in other regions, the level of Go is really not up to the mark.

So this event is called the World Competition, but it is actually understood as the Asian Competition. Anyway, in the end, only the players from those countries can reach the finals.

And one more thing.

Although it is a world competition, Wanbao really attaches great importance to and invests more energy and resources in domestic competitions.

The reason why we want to hold the World Championship is just to recruit more powerful players and make the competition more valuable.

“Will there be a situation where we have worked so hard to hold competitions, but all the prizes and trophies are taken away by foreign players, while domestic players receive nothing?”

Lao Zhang was a little worried.

Invite foreign chess players to participate, even if they are young chess players, but who knows what geniuses are hidden among them?

Out out out of the blue?

“This situation is indeed possible, but there is no need to worry too much.”

Gu Miao shook her head and said: "If there is such a talented young man, domestic players can also pay attention to opponents of this level in advance. Don't you think this is a good thing?"

　　What's the point of only knowing how to deal with people in a nest?

If you want to win, you have to beat the talented young man from abroad. If you really can't win, then the bonus will be given to you. Gu Miao won't be angry because of it.

As the saying goes, know your shame and then be brave.

Only those who have experienced severe beatings in advance and seen the vastness of the world can hope to give birth to the next genius chess player like Xiao Ke.

The next time he was invincible at home, he ended up being shattered at the first touch of a foreign war. If such a civil war fantasy **** took all the prizes and honors, Gu Miao would only feel more disgusted.

"makes sense…"

Lao Zhang nodded, then thought of something, and said with a smile: "But having said that, our population base is here after all. In terms of low-level chess players and young chess players, it seems that it is really as good as other countries."

“That's for sure!”

Gu Miao smiled slightly.

Let's not talk about the top players in the Go world, those commonly known as “professional nine-dan” players. Looking at the quality and breadth of the middle and lower players, domestic players are worthy of any country.

no way!

The population base is too strong.

Even if only one genius emerges among 100 million people, there are still more than a dozen geniuses. From the perspective of mathematical probability theory, it will be difficult for other countries to catch up.

Ah San doesn't play Go...

So Gu Miao is relatively optimistic about the "Go Youth" Cup organized by Wanbao.

The advantage is obvious. If you can't beat this and are killed by other players in all directions, then don't do anything in the second session and just surrender.

“By the way, let me tell you, we still have a secret weapon!” Gu Miao winked.

Remembering a 10-year-old professional chess player Xiao Ke accidentally mentioned when he and Xiao Ke were communicating about youth Go circles. He was immediately full of confidence in this competition.

Succeeded in determining the age group at 10 years old!

At this age, what is Yingjiang doing? Someone succeeded in dating at the age of ten. Don't you feel ashamed?

It can only be said that with such a talented boy, there is really no need to worry too much about this competition. Unless there is another boy who is even more incredible, winning the championship is almost inevitable.

After all...the gap between professional chess players and non-professional chess players cannot be smoothed out with a few words.

Sending a 10-year-old professional chess player who has successfully determined the level to compete in the "elementary school group" competition, what is the difference between this and a professional LOL player going to the human-machine game to fry fish?

Does anyone really think that those elementary school students can beat an opponent of this level? Would a dignified professional chess player fail in a primary school competition?

too naive!

Gu Miao entrusted the matter of the Go Junior Cup competition to a company that specializes in event operations. They were responsible for selecting contestants, setting up the venue, etc.

As for himself, he was hiding in the company's conference room, discussing the preparations for the "Mobile Suit Gundam" project with Guo Hongwei and others.

That's right!

Xiao Guo has already stated that he is willing to take over the new animation work of "Mobile Suit Gundam" for his master.

But he also said that his understanding of "realistic weapon-style" robot animation may not be that deep, so he still needs the guidance and help of the master and cannot completely abandon it.

“Don't worry, I will offer a producer position and join the production team, and I will definitely help you with suggestions.”

“Are you really OK?”

Gu Miao frowned and said, "Your wife has just given birth to a baby. Isn't there a lack of someone to take care of her at home?"

Guo Hongwei was married to his son, and his wife gave him a little cutie weighing 6 pounds and 30 pounds. Now is the time when the family is short of people. Gu Miao was skeptical about whether he could spare enough time.

“It's okay, there's a live-in nanny!”

Guo Hongwei has been working in Wanbao for so many years. With all the salary and bonus added up, he is considered a half-rich man in Jiangchuan. Hiring a nanny is really nothing.

And according to what he said, his mother-in-law also came over to take care of the children for the young couple, which greatly shared the pressure.

"Oh well!"

Seeing that he did have reasonable arrangements, Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then the director must be you. Do you have any special insights into the Gundam project?"

“If I understand correctly, master, what you value is not the value of the work itself, but the peripheral derivatives, especially the model?”

"Yes!"

Gu Miao admitted frankly: "I won't hide it from you. Before this animation project was confirmed, I had already given an order to Wanbao Toys to open up a production line specifically for the production of Gundam-related models."

Guo Hongwei: “…”

Hearing this, his fingers couldn't help but tremble a little. He really didn't expect that the master would pay so much attention to Gundam.

Before the animation project was decided, the toy company had already set aside a special production line in advance. A production line! Do you understand what this means?

This is still an arrangement for the animation project that has not yet been established. When the animation is broadcast, how can one production line be enough with Mr. Gu's attitude? Should we just build a new "Gundam" factory?

“It's possible, and the possibility is not low.”

Gu Miao did not deny Xiao Guo's guess, nodded and said: "There is actually a plan to open a Gundam factory. Lao He and I are just hesitating about the location of the factory."

Guo Hongwei has nothing to say. There are plans to build a Gundam factory, what else can he say?

If I remember correctly, this should be the most exciting peripheral derivatives plan in Wanbao's history.

As for what?

He wanted to ask, is it really necessary to pay so much attention to "Mobile Suit Gundam"? It's not that this project has no future, but the level of emphasis is too advanced!

Who can guarantee that this realistic weapon-style robot setting and body design will really sell well or even become a hit?

"You do not understand."

“These things have nothing to do with the animation you want to do, so you don't have to worry about it.”

Gu Miao was worried that his apprentice would think too much, so he took the initiative to relieve him of the pressure and said: "All you need to do is to make animations with your heart. As for things other than animations, just leave it to me."

"I will…"

Picking up the plan handed over by his master, Guo Hongwei glanced at it and said, "I may need some time to study this plan carefully."

“It's okay, there's plenty of time.”

"You don't have to rush to reply to me. It's okay to study for a few more days. Anyway, I will stay in the company during this time. If you have any questions, come to me at any time." Gu Miao replied.

　　“Okay, I'll leave first.”

Guo Hongwei, who was about to get up and leave, suddenly thought of something when he was halfway there, suddenly turned his head and asked: "By the way, master, have you paid attention to the current situation of Konjac Studio?"

“Konjac Studio? Xiaoqiu?”

Gu Miao wondered: "What's wrong with them? Aren't they working on the third season of Crayon Shin-chan?"

The last time I heard news about Konjac Studio, I saw relevant information about the second season of the animation "Crayon Shin-chan" in a work report.

Calculating the time, Konjac Studio at this moment, under the strong leadership of Xiao Qiu, should be full of energy and continue to work on the so-called third season of "Crayon Shin-chan"!

“I know they are working on the third season of Crayon Shin-chan. What I mean is that the third season does not require so many people. Can you send a few people to help me?”

Guo Hongwei said with anticipation: "With just the people at Wolfsburg Studio, I really don't have the confidence to make "Mobile Suit Gundam" a success!"

“This won't work…”

When Gu Miao thought of Konjac Studio's “funny” gene, she immediately shook her head and said: “The style of Konjac Studio is difficult to integrate into the Gundam team.”

Who should I contact? Mr. Qiu?

Who in Wanbao doesn't know that Mr. Qiu is Wanbao's conspicuous bag? The comedian director with the most humorous talent?

His positioning is the same as that of Konjac Studio. The goal is to make funny animations that make the whole world happy.

With this production style, integrating it into Gundam would be a disaster, and Gu Miao didn't want to see this.

But what Guo Hongwei said is right.

After the development of the first two seasons and the release of the theatrical version of "Crayon Shin-chan", the production of "Crayon Shin-chan" is no longer as difficult as it was originally.

So the manpower of Konjac Studio is now in an absolute "overflow" state.

If possible, they should be allowed to launch a new funny animation without affecting the third season of "Crayon Shin-chan".

“New funny animation?”

When Mr. Qiu saw Mr. Gu in the office and made him a cup of instant coffee, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "But we still have the third season of "Crayon Shin-chan"..."

“First, I don't like instant!”

After Gu Miao complained, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Second, does the third season of Crayon Shin-chan really need so many people? Don't lie to me, I'm not an outsider!"

Generally speaking, animation sequels, especially sequels to unit drama animations such as "Crayon Shin-chan", are less stressful to produce on the premise that the general route, character background and style have been anchored.

Because except for the plot, everything else is "known" elements.

Let's not talk about the characters, plot, and background. Even the lines can be reused and evolved into a kind of "mantra".

　Does anyone think that this kind of sequel animation, where all the elements are already known, will be more difficult to make than when the original animation was just started?

“I'll make you an authentic American dish next time.”

After answering the question about why the coffee is instant, Mr. Qiu immediately said: "The manpower is indeed enough. It is okay to free up some time and energy to develop new products, but we... have no clue!"

Animation is not cooking.

It's not enough to just have the ingredients and tools, you also need to have specific thoughts and ideas to make the dish. If you don't have a recipe in your mind, it will only be a dark dish.

Funny animation is the established development route of Konjac Studio and is also their future creative direction.

But this field is very creative.

If you don't have enough funny ideas and make a hollow work, can it still be considered a funny animation?

And the definition of funny animation is not just funny. Generally speaking, classic funny cartoons are funny while telling stories, rather than making up a story specifically for the sake of being funny.

Clear the order of things.

Normally, a screenwriter comes up with a great story, and then other people contribute their creative ideas to perfect the story and add laughter to it, and a funny animation is born.

Rather than come up with a lot of laughs and then pile them on top of each other to make a cesspit animation that is good for nothing but telling jokes.

“You are right, you cannot make a qualified funny animation without creativity.”

Gu Miao nodded first, and then added: "But what if I said, I can provide you with this idea?"

"oh?"

Mr. Qiu's eyes lit up and he said, "Really? Mr. Gu, don't kid me. The idea we need is a great idea worth extending!"

“You don't believe it? Then I will briefly introduce my idea and see if it meets the standards!”

Gu Miao coughed, drank all the coffee in the cup, and then said: "It is said that there is such a magical child who wakes up every morning and transforms into all kinds of weird people."

“For example, this child wakes up one day and finds that he has become a king, a vampire, an agent, a primitive, an alien…”

"cool!"

Hearing these words, Mr. Qiu was extremely excited and said: "Are you going to start all kinds of amazing adventures around switching different identity settings every day?"

It is indeed a great idea!

Just listening to Mr. Gu's story made Mr. Qiu extremely excited.

After all, this idea is really great. After it is made into an animation, you don't even need to do anything. As long as the audience sees this setting, they will like the animation at a glance.

A new identity every day!

Speaking of this setting, even he, an adult, was looking forward to it. Is there really a child who wouldn't like it?
