My Animation Era

  Chapter 108 Dragon King, Transformation! (seeking subscription)

  Whether it is changing games to animation or animation to games, there are relatively successful precedents in the industry.

  Galgame not to mention.

  The case of this type of game being adapted into an animation may be relatively rare in China, because domestically produced girl games are not only scarce, but also the number of players is not enough.

  But it is very common in foreign countries.

   Mr. Gu wants to set up a game company, starting with the less difficult Galgame, Ma Kui has no objection to this.

   But he has a problem!

   "Mr. Gu, we need someone to make games, right? Whether it's directly poaching people or acquiring a mature team, this is a lot of money!"

   Ma Kui counted with his fingers: "The animation "Dragon Fighter" needs money, and the planned Pleasant Goat Paradise also needs money..."

  Where did the money come from?

   The profits generated by the two animations of "Sailor Moon" and "Pigman" alone may not be able to support so many projects at the same time, right?

"you are right…"

  Gu Miao said calmly: "We really don't have the financial resources to carry out so many projects at the same time. But in a few months, after the animation "Dragon Fighter" is broadcast, the situation will be different."

"Oh?!"

   Ma Kui frowned.

What does it mean? Is there anything special about "Dragon Fighter"? Or, can this animation achieve better commercial results?

"certainly!"

  Gu Miao said without hesitation: "Commercially, this animation must be a very successful work."

   Is this still doubtful?

  After the broadcast of "The Legend of the Demon God", the "Majin" plastic model toy launched by the neon toy manufacturer TAKARA was one of the hottest toys in the 1990s.

   Especially among the 48 Demon God models, the number 21 [Dragon King Maru] model.

  The prototype is a new form born after Xiaodu resurrected Ryujinmaru on the fifth floor of Chuangjieshan and merged with Kongjinmaru.

  Because of the "deformable" feature, the [Long Wang Wan] toy model can be said to be a super popular toy product that was popular all over the neon and won the sales champion.

   How popular it is, needless to say?

  TAKARA became a world-renowned giant company in one fell swoop by virtue of its "deformable" toy models. Although the "Transformers" series contributed the most, the "Magic God" series also contributed a lot.

  By the way...

  Moshen series model toys, from the end of the 1990s to the 2000s, were also very popular in China, but most of them were "pirated copies".

   And among these pirated Demon God model toys, the most popular one is not [Dragon King Maru]. It is the transformation form of "Dragon God Maru·Super" after Xiaodu performed "Super Power Transformation" in "Super Demon God Heroes".

   But that's not the point.

  Whether [Ryujinmaru·Super] or [Ryuwangmaru], the key point is that the model toys of this animation series, no matter in neon or in China, are very popular!

  Business prospects are extremely broad!

  Now Wanbao may not be able to squeeze out cash to start a game company. But after the animation "Dragon Fighter" is broadcast, that may not be the case.

  …

  In the TV trilogy of the animation "Dragon Fighter" series, many demons have appeared.

  Including the demon body summoned by the protagonist Xiaodu, the so-called "Dragon God", also has N different forms. The Demon God mechas summoned by the supporting characters all have their own "upgrade forms".

  But in the first season of TV animation...

  The main demon god, that is, the demon **** summoned by the protagonist and his partners, is relatively limited in number.

  In addition to Dragon God, War God, Gengjin, Sora God and their evolution forms, there is only the evil tiger with a name that is incompatible with other demon gods, and there is no corresponding evolution form, also known as Tiger King Maru.

   There are a total of nine main demon gods.

  The number of villains is more, but the "gold content" and "famousness" of the villain, the anti-demon god, Gu Miao can only say that he understands everything!

   It's not that he's handsome!

  In the villain's anti-demon god, there are also some well-designed, cool and handsome airframes. But the "naming and design" of these airframes is really too connotative of some well-known IP.

  Domestic audiences generally do not understand.

   In addition, children prefer to watch animation from the perspective of the "protagonist", and few people like the villain's anti-demon god.

  So, sorry for a while.

  The demon **** Gu Miao takes care of must be the master demon god. That is, most likely, the demon **** who created huge profits for him and Wanbao.

  Art design is easy to say.

   In this regard, Nantong and the animation production team have made a lot of efforts, and the art design must have passed.

   His so-called "care" actually refers to adding a "deformable" feature to the main demon god.

  Learn from TAKARA's good example!

what?

  The Dragon King in the original evolution upgrade form can be transformed, but Uncle Gu’s Dragon King cannot be transformed? What kind of reason is this?

   "Not only to deform..."

   Patted the table, Gu Miao emphasized: "It is necessary to create a distinctive feature, and create a feeling that shines in front of you!"

   It's not that he dislikes the original animation.

   It is really the "transformation" part of the original Demon God, which is too conservative.

  Even if you can’t do a complete transformation like “Transformers”, at least you should design a few more “transformation” actions, right?

   Of course, this is also understandable.

   After all, this is the first animation series, and many ideas of the production team are not mature enough, and are still in the "experimental" stage. Be conservative, and mistakes can be corrected in time.

  When it came to the later stage of "The Legend of the Demon God Heroes II", especially "The Legend of the Super Demon God Heroes", the design of "deformation and transformation" is very good!

Do not misunderstand…

   Gu Miao did not move the setting of "Super Power Transformation" to the first season of the animation, he just felt that the first season was too conservative, and wanted to learn from the sequel's "devil transformation" and "transformation" ideas.

  Dragon King is still Dragon King.

  It is impossible to add a few more deformation actions and a few more close-up shots, and the Dragon King will become the "Universal Dragon King" or "Super Dragon King".

   The setting remains unchanged.

  Dragon King is still human-shaped and bird-shaped, and has the ability to fly, specially dealing with air combat.

  But when Xiaodu shouted "Full power! Transformation, Dragon King!", the transformation animation changed, becoming more fancy, more distinctive and recognizable.

   "Transformation! Phoenix!"

  After Xiaodu shouted these words, the transformation of the Dragon King also added a lot of new movements and more close-up shots.

Overall.

  The new transformation or deformation link is a step forward on the basis of the original version. Not only is the art style closer to the sequel, but the duration has also become longer.

   "It doesn't matter!"

   Regarding the matter of the "delay" of transformation and transformation, Gu Miao said very calmly: "For children, it doesn't matter how long it takes to transform or transform for a few seconds."

  As long as the time limit is not intentional, and the show operation of "fighting for five seconds and transforming for ten minutes" is made, the children will accept it.

after all…

  The classic transformation or deformation link is absolutely unforgettable!
