My Animation Era

  Chapter 68 Sports Knowledge

  Year 3516 in the sheep calendar.

  The 125th Games of the Yang Family is scheduled to be held in Qingqing Grassland. This is a grand event held every 40 years, and the sheep and goats attach great importance to it.

to this end.

  The sheep and sheep trapped the tornado that was raging on the grassland, and used coagulants to make it into a huge "torch".

  Lighting the torch requires a flame hand!

  Everyone wants to be the torch bearer, even the village chief, Man Yangyang.

   This is his regret, because he failed to be the torch bearer in the last sports meeting. Due to his advanced age, he may miss this opportunity, and he will never have the opportunity to pass the torch again.

   So, to be fair.

  Under the suggestion of the Patriarch of the Goat Clan, everyone decided to select a torch player through a "competition".

   On the other side, Big Big Wolf, who tried his best to catch sheep, was also involved in this competition for "selection of torch hand". With his "secret assist", Lan Yangyang can win every game...

  Finally, with the help of everyone, Slow Sheep finally realized her wish and was successfully elected as the torch bearer of this sports meeting.

  The plot of the first episode ends here.

  Looking at the words [this episode is over] that appeared on the screen, Gu Miao rubbed her brows and asked, "Is this the end? What about the end credits?"

   "No credits!"

   Ma Kui smiled wryly: "It's mainly the CCTV Children's Channel, which only gave us 30 minutes. The time is too tight, and adding the ending credits to the feature film is not enough."

   It doesn’t matter if you don’t add credits.

   After all, it is limited by the schedule. Under the premise of ensuring the length of the "feature film", it is also understandable to delete the opening and ending credits.

   But this is too crude.

   "There is only one [end of this episode] I don't think it's okay, it's too hasty."

  Gu Miao suggested: "You don't need to add the normal end credits, and add a 30-second Easter egg, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

   "30-second end credits?"

   Ma Kui looked puzzled.

  30 seconds can be squeezed out, but what does this so-called "end-credits easter egg" refer to? Make sideshows? Or report back?

   "Not a tidbit, nor a preview."

  Gu Miao laughed and said, "Since it's a sports-themed animation, let's make a sports knowledge popularization."

  Sports Trivia!

   This is a major innovation and highlight of "Sheep and Goat Games". I don't know how many children have learned a lot of sports knowledge and unpopular rules through this end-credits egg.

   To put it bluntly...

  Some children's expectations for this "end-credits egg" are higher than those of the main animation.

   It was so much fun.

  Not only can you learn knowledge, but you can also see the various "unexpected" punishments that animation characters receive after answering wrong questions.

   This is the essence of "Sheep and Goat Games"!

  Anything can be deleted, except this "end credits egg". Without this post-credits easter egg, "Sheep and Goat Games" would lose at least half of its fun.

   "Engage in a question-and-answer PK mode."

  Worried that Ma Kui would not understand, Gu Miao specifically gave an example to explain: "Let the characters in the animation, such as Slow Sheep and Big Big Wolf compete, and whoever answers the question wrong will fall into the river and be bitten by piranhas."

   There are many ways to punish.

   It can be falling into the river, being bombed, burned, electrocuted, or even falling into a trap and so on.

  As long as the brain is big enough, there is no way of punishment that cannot be imagined.

"the most important point is…"

  Gu Miao reminded: "It doesn't have to be that the characters of the Wolf Clan give wrong answers and be punished."

   Can you answer all of them correctly?

   It is also possible to make goat characters, or even grassland neutral characters, be punished for wrong answers.

  Gu Miao has been upset for a long time.

  In the main film, Big Big Wolf was bullied, bitten by fish, burned, and electrocuted, but why did he still receive such miserable treatment in the end-credits scene?

   It's not fair!

  Since it is a question answering competition, it is reasonable for Big Big Wolf to occasionally answer a few questions correctly, so that lambs like Boiling Goat or Lazy Goat, who are not as smart as him at first glance, suffer a few times, right?

   Pleasant goat forget it.

  Although Gu Miao really wanted Pleasant Goat to be eaten up in the "end-credits egg", let him experience the treatment of Big Big Wolf.

   But this involves the issue of "human design".

  Pleasant Goat's character design is undoubtedly "smart", "fast running" and "high IQ". If you deliberately let him answer the wrong question, it is easy to destroy his image in the eyes of the children.

  No way, Wei Guangzheng!

  The image of Pleasant Goat is too perfect. Even if it's an easter egg at the end of the credits, he can't be deflated at will.

  But Boiling Goat and Lazy Goat, because of their down-to-earth images and no "idol baggage", they are often caught by Big Big Wolf, and it is normal for them to answer a few questions wrong.

   "OK!"

  Ma Kui nodded and said: "The selection of the topic, do we need to delineate a range and limit the difficulty?"

"unnecessary."

  Gu Miao shook her head.

  As long as it is related to "sports", you can use it to explain. As for whether the sports involved in the question are unpopular, and whether the difficulty of answering the question is too high...

  No need to worry.

  I originally made this easter egg to explain "sports" knowledge to children. Questions are so difficult and unpopular that even adults can't answer them, and that's just a good thing.

  After all, the topic is too mentally handicapped. For example, ask: "What is the standard football shape used in modern football games?"

  A, sphere

  B, cylinder

  C, Trisomy

  Such sand dollar questions, even a three-year-old child knows the answer, is there still a need for "explaining"?

  The higher the difficulty, the more interesting it is.

  Precisely because the children don’t know the answer, or even heard of it, after watching the end-credits egg, they will be impressed and even interested.

if we assume…

  A certain child, because of the little sports knowledge at the end of the film, became very interested in a certain sport, and won the championship medal of the sport in the future.

   That's definitely a good thing!

  Gu Miao still remembers that when he was watching "Sheep and Goat Games", he first learned about the full length of the marathon. It turned out to be 42.195 kilometers.

   For this reason, he also went to check why it is 42.195 instead of an integer, such as 45 or 50 kilometers.

   "Sheep and Goat Games" has 60 episodes, that is, 60 questions. Gu Miao doesn't expect the children to memorize them all, but as long as they memorize the answer to one question, this easter egg is valuable.

   Rising heat?

  The original version of "Sheep and Goat Games" is indeed a work launched to catch the "Olympic" enthusiasm. But even if the original motivation is to rub the heat, it is more attentive than others.

  This point has to be admired.

  When Ma Kui followed the instructions and re-added about 30 seconds of "Sports Trivia" easter eggs to the animation, and was about to contact the TV station to broadcast it.

   "Sent by Haibao" is on the air!

  The World Expo, which lasted for half a year, is about to come to an end. In order to catch up with this "last train", this animation, which has been postponed for several months and reportedly invested nearly 100 million yuan, finally unveiled its mystery.

   As expected, the popularity of the premiere exploded.
