My Animation Era

  Chapter 828 Sean the Lamb (for subscription)

   "The Adventures of Lolo" continues to hit the air, and the plot is getting better.

   From the perspective of the protagonist Lolo, the audience not only witnessed the shocking world of robot beasts, but also got to know flesh and blood motorcycle/beast warriors with different personalities.

certainly!

  The most popular animations are not only the aborigines of the robot world such as Human Torch, Vanguard, and Hot Wheels, but also their own unique skills.

As an animation work that ranked first in the ratings list for the same period when it started broadcasting, the biggest impact of "The Adventures of Lolo" may be that it made the children remember the names of the second and second moves such as "Shocking Waves Killing" and "Thunderbolt Half Moon Slash" .

  What does it mean to memorize backwards?

  The smelly and long ancient poems and proses may not be able to be recited by children in full, but if you want to recite the name of the trick in "The Adventures of Lolo", then everyone will not be sleepy...

It is worth mentioning that.

  Although during the period from the end of November to the beginning of December, "The Adventures of Lolo", which just started airing, still maintained a relatively high ratings share, but there was also an animation that was eye-catching.

   "Yu-Gi-Oh GX"?

no!

  The main battlefield of this animation is on the Internet, the ratings and share of the TV platform, just look at it, there is no need to be too serious.

  Gu Miao was talking about a silent stop-motion comedy TV animation—"Shaun the Sheep" produced by Puppet Studio, with Liang Xiaodong as the chief director.

  After puppet animation, clay animation, and shadow puppet animation, Liang Xiaodong and his team began to cultivate in the field of "stop-motion animation" and released a work with a very different style.

  The story told in the animation "Shaun the Sheep" is actually very simple. It's just a little sheep, Sean and his friends, all kinds of funny daily life on the farm.

   Very simple story!

  But often the simplest stories can bring the purest joy to the audience.

  Shaun the Sheep, as a "dumb" animation with no lines throughout, is still a relatively rare stop-motion animation. It stands to reason that not many people like it, after all, the subject matter is relatively unpopular.

  Liang Xiaodong thought so too.

  So when arranging the broadcast of "Shaun the Sheep" animation, he didn't even dare to ask for a prime time or a high price.

  As long as there are TV stations willing to buy and broadcast, the entire puppet studio is already satisfied.

  Schedule? price?

  Liang Xiaodong is not qualified to choose the schedule or set the price. No matter what schedule or how much money the TV station offers, he can only nod and accept.

  The directors are all lying down, and Wanbao Animation's attitude towards this work is naturally free...

   For this reason.

  The broadcast of the animation "Shaun the Sheep" not only did not cause any waves, but few people even knew about it.

  But no one thought of it.

   It is precisely this kind of "stop-motion animation", which even the director and production team have no confidence in, thinking that not many people will watch it, and the ratings are getting higher day by day.

  Liang Xiaodong himself was dumbfounded.

  …

   Gu Miao has heard of the name of Xiao En the Lamb. After all, this sheep with a unique shape is hard to forget after seeing it once.

   But he really doesn't know much about this animation. After all, Xiao En the Sheep mainly targets preschool children and kindergarten children.

   It's kind of like the Thomas and Friends show.

  Animated character, many people must know it, after all, this classic image is often seen on TV. But if you want to tell how powerful this animation is, it is estimated that nine out of ten people will be confused...

no way!

  Animated characters such as Thomas the Tank Engine and Shaun the Sheep are familiar to everyone. You can watch the entire season of the animation. There are not many adults who have a deep understanding of this series.

  Don't ask why.

  The question is that in the eyes of many teenagers over 10 years old, this kind of animation is a bit too young and naive, and it is far less exciting and exciting than animations such as "Digimon" and "The Adventures of Lolo".

  Peppa Pig knows everything, right?

  But how many adults have watched the animation of "Peppa Pig" in its entirety?

  The reason is the same.

  Gu Miao knew "Shaun the Sheep", but he only glanced at it occasionally, let alone finished it, he only watched it for a few minutes at most, and then switched channels to watch other animations.

Therefore.

   Not only Liang Xiaodong was surprised by the miraculous popularity of "Shaun the Sheep", Gu Miao was also confused.

What happened?

   Don't children like watching "The Adventures of Lolo" the most? How do you look at the data, the ratings of "Shaun the Sheep" are not bad?

   "Children under the age of 10 watch more, accounting for even more than half!"

  As an insider, Lao Zhang turned over the file and explained to Gu Miao: "For children of that age, "Shaun the Sheep" is much more exciting and beautiful than "The Adventures of Lolo."

   "Uh! Is there such a thing?"

  Gu Miao was startled at first, doubting the authenticity of Lao Zhang's words, but he quickly realized that he was wrong.

  Under 10 years old!

  The children in this range are not young teenagers and girls, and their thinking is still in the stage of ignorance.

  From their point of view, "The Adventures of Lolo" is good-looking, but the threshold for understanding is too high.

   Shaun the sheep is better...

   There are no lines throughout the whole process, all kinds of "baa baa baa" sheep sounds, there is no need to think too much, and you can devote yourself to Sean, give full play to all kinds of whimsy, toss and finish.

  This is not the same as "Tom and Jerry".

  Although the combination of Tom and Jerry is also dumb, they can hardly find any lines, and rely on movements and expressions to interpret the plot.

  But the plot of "Tom and Jerry" at least retains the dramatic elements, that is, the so-called transition, the ups and downs in the process, and the lack of lines cannot conceal the excellence of the plot.

  "Shaun the Sheep" doesn't have this kind of feature. The plot can usually be summed up in one sentence, or even five or six words, which is so simple that it can't be simpler.

  The flock kicks cabbage like a football, the flock wants to take a hot bath, Shirley wants to lose weight, Sean wants to get back the doll, the flock wants to pick apples, the flock draws...

   Sounds like a running account, right?

   But if I told you that each of these sentences represents an overview of the plot of an episode of "Shaun the Sheep" animation, what kind of expression would you have?

   Must be very surprised!

   Such a "journalistic" plot has completely subverted people's perception of an animation. The last time I saw this kind of plot was when I was watching "Teletubbies" and "Garden Baby".

   No wonder it’s under 10…

  Children over the age of 10 have long been crazy about "The Adventures of Lolo", and have begun to dance with knives and guns and practice eighteen stunts.

  There are only preschool children under the age of 10, including kindergarten children, because they can't understand too complicated plots, but they have a soft spot for "Shaun the Sheep".

  From this point of view, the success of "Shaun the Sheep" is not accidental.

   Make up the update first, and then sleep for a while
