My Animation Era

  Chapter 424 The Importance of Mustache (Subscribe)

   "The Story of Avanti" is very popular.

   This also attracted the attention of the relevant departments of the Western Regions, because this is a rare animation created by processing and creating folklore characters in the Western Regions.

Therefore.

  Not long after the animation premiered, Gu Miao received a call from the tourism department of the Western Regions.

  The other party asked politely about the creation process of the animation "The Story of Avanti", and then made a request to him.

   roughly means.

   This animation is popular and very influential among the people. The local tourism department hopes to use the animated image of "Avanti" to attract tourists.

   "No problem, you can use it as you like."

   Gu Sanshui, who has always been greedy for money, not only does not charge a penny for authorizing the IP character this time, but also offers to customize a "tourism promotional animation" advertisement for the other party.

   "How dare you..."

  The staff on the other end of the phone probably didn't expect Gu Miao to be so enthusiastic, and even stuttered when speaking.

   "It's okay, you're welcome."

   "My father taught me since I was a child that a person must have a sense of social responsibility. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

  Anyway, Lao Gu is not around, so Gu Miao said nonsense: "It just so happens that I like the Western Regions very much, and I am planning to travel in a while. It is my honor to be able to help you!"

   "That's... great."

  After hanging up the phone, Gu Miao hurriedly contacted the company's charity animation department and asked them to use the image of Avanti to produce a western region tourism advertisement.

   This matter is very important!

   This is directly related to whether Gu Miao can win the favor of some politicians on the official level.

  Think about the benefits, authorize an animation character for free, and help shoot an animation advertisement by the way, it doesn’t cost much anyway.

  If you can really get a flattery...

   Isn’t that blood money? !

  Just when Gu Miao was happily thinking about how to use this incident to improve the corporate image, the phone rang again.

  This time it was Director Wang calling.

   As expected, Director Wang's call to Gu Miao this time is also for "The Story of Avanti", which is also a good thing.

  There is an official media that intends to publish a special report on "The Story of Avanti".

   "Interview?"

   Gu Miao wondered: "Sure! I'm free anytime, just let them come to the company to find me."

   "It's not an interview with you!"

  Director Wang complained on the phone: "I want to interview Liang Xiaodong and the puppet studio, please don't be so narcissistic?"

  Gu Miao: "..."

  Blanch!

   It's not fair, it's not reasonable.

  Obviously he has also contributed to "The Story of Avanti", and he has also participated in the animation production. Why is he not interviewed?

   Furious Gu Miao, after telling Liang Xiaodong about the interview, out of a twisted psychology of jealousy, he deducted his bonus for the crime of "stepping into the office with his left foot".

  I feel comfortable now.

  …

   After handling the company's affairs, Gu Miao came to Wanbao Comic Company located in the new headquarters in the new urban area.

   Teacher Nantong is waiting for him.

  As soon as we met, Gu Miao couldn't wait to ask: "Is the manga booklet ready? When are you going to release it?"

   "Probably just these two days!"

   "Look, this is the first "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga booklet that has been slightly revised." Nan Tong handed Gu Miao a manga.

  Gu Miao took the comic book, sat down on the leather sofa, and looked down.

   It took ten minutes to see it.

  After quickly browsing through the entire manga with the "quantum reading method", Gu Miao had a general understanding of the difference between the first booklet and the serialized manga.

simply put.

  In the comic book, Nantong gave supplementary explanations on some duel "rules" according to Gu Miao's instructions.

  When it was serialized in the magazine before, Nantong actually didn’t specifically describe the rules of gameplay such as monster summoning, life value and attack defense in "Yu-Gi-Oh".

   This leads directly to…

  Many readers are sorting out the dueling rules and gameplay while following the comics. Some readers, even after reading the latest chapters of the manga, don't quite understand the rules of duels.

  Gu Miao thinks this is not good, it is not conducive to the popularization and promotion of "Yu-Gi-Oh" gameplay and cards.

  So he asked Nantong to give up the serialization of the magazine, organize the comics that have been published into a single book, and modify some plots at the same time.

  What plot to modify?

  Of course, add some "descriptive" lines to the protagonist and supporting roles. For example, during a duel, introduce the monsters you have summoned, and take the initiative to reveal your tactical arrangements.

  When watching "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics and animations in the previous life, Gu Miao always felt that it was too long-winded for the main characters and supporting characters to explain the operation of various cards while playing cards.

  Every time I play a card, I have to explain it for a long time, and introduce the effect of this card in great detail, for fear that the opponent will not understand...

   You are not blind, you can see what monsters you summoned, what magic cards and trap cards you used, is it necessary to be so verbose?

   Of course, this is the previous thought.

   As an audience member, Gu Miao felt that the "explanatory" lines of the protagonist and supporting roles were too long-winded and completely unnecessary.

   But when he became a director, or animation producer, he discovered that these "explanatory" lines are so important.

  This is not a line!

   This is clearly a hands-on tutorial, teaching you how to play cards step by step. Do you think that every time Muto Yuki plays a card, he introduces a lot of ramblings, all of which are for the opponent to hear?

  NO!

   These lines and card introductions are all for comic readers and animation audiences.

Just imagine…

  If the main character and the supporting roles don’t have these “explanation” lines, and just talk trash, will the new audience be confused?

What happened?

  Why did the protagonist use this card, and the situation was reversed in an instant? Why is Haima so ugly when he is so handsome?

can not understand!

  In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to add a lot of explanations to the protagonist and supporting characters to explain the lines. Try to let the audience understand the specific effect of each card.

  That's why Gu Miao asked Nantong to revise the content of the manga and add more explanations to explain the lines in the manga.

  But in this way...

  Comics include subsequent animations, which will produce a very embarrassing effect. That is to say, all the characters on the stage are all "talkers".

   "Let's talk chatter."

  Gu Miao waved her hand and said: "There are more lines, at most the voice actors are troubled, and it has nothing to do with me as a director."

  Nantong: "..."

   That makes sense, as expected of Mr. Gu!

  After three seconds of silence for the voice actors, Nan Tong immediately thought of another question.

   The specific rules and gameplay of dueling monsters can be explained through the lines of the protagonist and supporting characters.

But…

  The current duel rules seem to be not perfect enough, right?

   Hot knowledge: At least one-third of the total duration of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" animation is used to "explain" card effects...
