My Animation Era

  Chapter 843 Happy first and then sad (for subscription)

  A real 100 million, how does it feel to use all of it for animation?

  Hou Bin said, very cool!

  Watching the animation gradually transform from a frame blueprint to a physical film with the investment of huge funds and manpower, and become more and more perfect, all participants have a sense of accomplishment.

   This is what it means to spend money.

  Even Gu Miao, who is distressed about her wallet, has to admit that after seeing the sample of "Little Fugui, the Chef", animations that cost a lot of money are indeed different.

  Look at the light and shadow colors, look at the details of the storyboard, look at the animation soundtrack...

   Without mentioning the name, he almost couldn't recognize it. This brand-new work turned out to be "Little Fugui, the Chef" in his memory?

  Oh my god!

   It's money well spent, definitely worth it.

  Compared with the original version, Xiao Fugui, the master chef of Wanbao version, gave him the feeling that it was already impeccable.

  Of course, not counting the plot...

  In terms of the plot, there is almost no big difference between the Wanbao version and the original version. Gu Miao mainly talked about the production and screen expression.

  The original version is the 2007 animation.

  The animation in 2000 must be very different from the current animation. Although "Shen Chef Xiao Fugui" tells the same story in the two eras, the perception is completely different.

"Not bad!"

  Gu Miao nodded, as she recognized Hou Bin's hard work during this period.

   But he still has doubts.

  By watching the samples, he found that the comic color of the Wanbao version of "Little Fugui, the Chef" seems to be stronger than the original version?

  The original animation gives people a heavy, breathless feeling. Although there are some joyful and funny clips, they are only a few.

  Most of the time, except for cooking, everything that Xiao Fugui has experienced makes people panic, especially uncomfortable.

"Is such that…"

  Hou Bin did not deny Gu Miao's guess, but nodded decisively and admitted: "This is a decision I made after discussing with the screenwriter team. In the early and mid-term of the animation, some comedy elements will be added."

"Looking at the more than 100 episodes of the whole play, the core story line is just a few words - get the golden kitchen utensils and rescue grandpa!" Hou Bin explained, "From the results, Xiao Fugui's wish came to nothing, so this is an out-and-out story. tragedy…"

  Since it is a tragedy, why add comedy elements in the early and mid-term to create a joyful and peaceful atmosphere?

Is not this contradictory?

  Gu Miao didn't figure it out at first, and didn't understand Hou Bin's intentions, but when Hou Bin said the famous saying "The core of comedy is tragedy", he realized it instantly.

   Reverse!

  He's making a reversal...

  In the early and mid-term, comedy is added to create a joyful and funny atmosphere. This is a smoke bomb released to paralyze the audience.

  If the audience is hooked.

  Then, on the premise of no psychological defense, the painting style changes suddenly in the middle and late stages, and the originally relaxed and joyful atmosphere suddenly becomes heavy and sad, and the "emotional ups and downs" will be particularly strong.

   "I understand what you mean."

   "It was revealed from the beginning that this was a tragedy. The audience had prepared themselves psychologically in advance, so the final ending might not be so shocking."

  Gu Miao said thoughtfully: "If the audience didn't realize that "Little Fortune, the Chef" is a tragedy at the beginning, then they will be shocked by the ending later on."

"right!"

   "This is the knowledge I learned from "Super Beast Armed Forces". First paralyze the audience and then catch them by surprise." Hou Bin waved his hand and said in a sneak attack posture.

   Good good good!

  This method is good, it is indeed very operable, and in theory, it will leave a deeper impression on the audience.

   It’s just that this method has a difficulty, that is, paralyzing the audience does not mean numb the audience…

  It's like "Super Beast Armor".

  Although the first half of Invincible is ordinary and mediocre, it also has a strong appeal, allowing the audience to be fascinated and keep chasing updates, and have been chasing the big reversal of the second part.

  If we say that when the benevolent invincible paralyzed the audience, because it went too far, most of the audience lost their patience and interest, and abandoned the pit one after another.

  The reversal of the brave man in the second half, is there any meaning?

simply put.

  It is okay to release smoke bombs to paralyze the audience, but you must control the speed well so as not to drive the audience away.

  Applied to the "Shen Chef Xiao Fugui" project, that is, the comedy color can be increased, but it can't be too strong, and the guest can take the main role, so that the story becomes no longer serious.

"Do not worry!"

   In this regard, Hou Bin is very confident.

  He also knows the truth that everything goes too far, and he didn't go too far in adding comedy.

  Using the interactions between Xiao Lizi, Bean Sprouts, and the Queen Mother with Xiao Fugui, especially Xiao Lizi, the key to creating an atmosphere is the interaction between Xiao Lizi and Xiao Fugui.

  This kind of lightheartedness and joy will make people subconsciously feel that this is not just an ordinary food animation about cooking and cooking skills?

   Ah yes yes yes!

  Hou Bin just wants the audience to have this kind of misunderstanding, and to watch the early and mid-term "Little Fortune of the Chef" as an ordinary gourmet show.

   The more ordinary, the more ruthless the knife!

  When everyone thinks that "Shen Chef Xiao Fugui" is just a funny traditional gourmet show, which can be watched but has no nutritional value, they fall into the trap.

  As the plot continues to advance, the background of the late Qing Dynasty will also slowly open, and the story will also change from lighthearted and joyful to a depressive and heavy tone.

till the end…

  Bean sprouts were placed under house arrest, Xiao Feidie left, grandpa died, little bee died, and the old doctor also died. The so-called golden kitchen utensils, the so-called chief imperial chef, finally turned into a tragedy.

  The continuous knives, combined with the relaxed and joyful atmosphere at the beginning of the animation, together constitute the great contrast in the story level of "Shen Chef Xiao Fugui".

   And this kind of contrast, as long as the audience has watched it, I believe it will leave an indelible impression on them, at least within ten years.

   "You can do it!"

  Gu Miao couldn't hide her smile and said, "I have a hunch that after the ending of the animation "Little Fugui, the Chef", you, the director, will definitely be scolded by the audience."

  This is different from "Super Beast Armed Forces".

  The reversal of the super beast armament will only make the audience exclaim "fog grass", admire the brains and talents of the director and screenwriter, and the public opinion as a whole is mostly praise.

  But after Hou Bin used this trick of "hiding a knife in a smile", he expected the audience who was tortured and cried by the ending to praise him?

   Pull it down!

  Based on Xu Yuanxuan's experience, after the animation "Little Fugui, the Chef" was broadcast, Hou Bin's wind assessment was similar to Lao Xu's.

   Being scolded?

  If it was just me who was being scolded, it would already be considered the kindness of the audience and fans.

  The biggest possibility is that not only Hou Bin himself was scolded, but his household register and even his family tree could not escape being liquidated by fans.

   It’s not surprising that a semi-truck with all risks came to send him to be reincarnated in a different world...

   First make up for the two changes owed yesterday
