My Animation Era

  Gu Miao and Huang Kun chatted a lot.

  After roughly finalizing the project plan, the two, who were about to convene a meeting with the management of the animation company with great interest, suddenly realized a very critical issue.

  Who will shoot this animation?

   Huang Kun, as the creator of the line drawing of the "Thunderbolt" character, is also the first person to think of this, and he definitely wants to make this animation.

   And Gu Miao also likes the story of "The Adventures of Lolo" very much...

   Embarrassed!

  The two of them looked at each other, staring at each other's faces for a long time, wanting each other to quit, but unfortunately neither of them spoke.

   "President Gu!"

   "Akun..."

  As the atmosphere became more and more embarrassing, both of them couldn't help it, and said in unison: "Why don't you take a break first?"

   After speaking, the atmosphere became more subtle.

   Gu Miao was the first to lose her temper, pointing at Huang Kun and asked, "You just finished "Pigman 3", don't you feel tired now? Go back and rest, I'll give you a few days off!"

   "No no no, I'm not tired."

   "On the contrary, Mr. Gu, you are physically and mentally exhausted after finishing "The Adventures of Uncle Long". You should go home and rest." Huang Kun retorted.

   "I don't care, I want to shoot!"

   "I don't care, I want to!"

  The two of them were just like children fighting against each other. They embraced you and looked at each other, neither of them would let go first.

  They confronted each other like this for more than ten minutes, and in the end Huang Kun couldn't bear the pressure and took the lead in raising the white flag.

   After all, you have to get paid!

  Huang Kun said that for this project, the two of them actually don't need to argue about anything, they can cooperate completely.

  Who said that an animation can only have one director/supervisor? Can't we set up two directors and share power and responsibility?

   "Then I'm the chief director?"

   "No, there is no chief director for this animation. You are the director, and I am also the director." Huang Kun explained.

   "Who is in charge of the production team?" Gu Miao wondered, "If I have a dispute with you over a certain matter, who will make the decision?"

   "The lady boss!"

   "I've already thought about it. The producer and producer will be given to the proprietress, and she will be the referee. This will be fair!" Huang Kun added.

   This arrangement is fine...

  Gu Miao is not interested in the false name of the so-called chief director, he just wants to direct "The Adventures of Lolo" himself.

   For the same reason, Huang Kun actually doesn't care about these things. He is also very interested in this animation, and he doesn't want to quit, so he proposed it.

   Then it's decided!

  Since neither Gu Miao nor Huang Kun wanted to quit, they simply cooperated and co-directed and produced the animation "The Adventures of Lolo".

"etc!"

   "Is The Adventures of Lolo the final name?" Huang Kun asked.

   "Uh! If nothing unexpected, this name should be used." Gu Miao asked with some doubts, "Why? Do you think this name is inappropriate?"

   "Something is wrong..."

  Huang Kun frowned and said: "The Adventures of Lolo, just looking at the name, others would think it is a fake sequel to "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon"!"

"Too."

  Gu Miao nodded.

  The name Lolo Adventures may not be a problem in normal times, but it just so happened that Wanbao just released an animation called "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon".

  If these two animations are released, they may be mistaken for the same series of works.

   Just like "Digimon", "Happy Baby" and "Pokémon" were often confused, people even guessed that Wanbao has a "Baby Series".

  Because the names are too similar.

  Ordinary viewers, passers-by who have never seen it, are easily confused, and even can't tell who is who.

  And the naming method of XX Adventures, to be honest, has a kind of "old-fashioned" beauty, without the "secondary sense" and "cool feeling" that are unique to this type of animation.

   What fruit treasure special attack, super beast armed, these names sound higher than XX Adventures...

  So, Huang Kun proposed to give this project a new name.

  He discussed with Gu Miao, and finally decided to use the transformable robot as a selling point, and named it the "Various Robot Beast" series.

   The Adventures of Lolo became the subtitle.

  The so-called subtitles refer to titles such as "Sheep and Goat Games" and "Wonderful Ideas of Pleasant Goat". Before this subtitle, there is also the main title of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

  The full name of the project is "The Adventures of Lolo", and since it is the first animation work in the series, it can also be referred to as "The Adventure of Robot 1".

   This is intuitive.

  The first season of the Pigman series is called "Pigman: The Magical Pigs", in which Pigman is the main title, and the Magical Pigs is the subtitle.

   This "combination of primary and secondary" naming method is quite common in the animation industry, especially for "series" works, I especially like to use this kind of title.

   But then again...

  Although during the discussion, it was decided to make "Various Robots" into an animation series, but to be honest, Gu Miao didn't think this series would be successful.

   There is a high probability that this so-called Variety Robot series will never be mentioned again after the first season of Lolo Adventures is over.

  Don't ask why!

  Question Even Gu Miao doesn't know how to make a sequel to a story like The Adventures of Lolo? Or a new work with the same background world view?

  【After Luoluo and Jingjing returned home, the world of machine warfare ushered in a new crisis. The locomotive clan and the beast clan encountered a new powerful enemy at stake...

  In times of crisis, the former kings of machine warfare, Lolo and Jingjing, return to the world of machine warfare without hesitation, lead the motorcycle clan and the beast clan again, defeat powerful enemies through untold hardships, and restore peace to the world of machine warfare? 】

   Or, simply let the characters from the world of machine warfare, such as Human Torch, Vanguard, Tyrannosaurus, and Tiger King, travel to the real world where Lolo and Jingjing are?

  This is too much...

   It's not that such a sequel plan is unfeasible, it's just that doing it like this is a bit too childish.

   And Gu Miao also felt it.

   Based on this template, it is difficult to achieve too good results for "Mad Robot 2" or "Mad Robot 3", let alone surpass the first season of "The Adventures of Lolo".

  It is not difficult to make a series.

  The difficulty is how to ensure that each work in the series can maintain the same height as "The Adventures of Lolo"?

  Unable to do this, then Gu Miao would rather refrigerate the "Various Robots" series than rashly launch a so-called sequel, ruining the good reputation established by the first season.

What?

   Remake the first season, put old wine in new bottles, what kind of martial arts?

Stop it! Gu Miao is not short of creativity, why bother to do such a thankless thing? The way of martial arts, or the return of the king of war, is not his taste at all!

  If he is really obsessed with this kind of subject matter, and wants to tap into the potential of "transformable robots", it's not impossible to make another "Transformers"!

  To tell the truth, Mecha Beast is not as easy to remember as The Adventures of Lolo, I always remember it as Mecha Beast, Shapeshifting Mecha...
