My Animation Era

  Chapter 851 The Importance of Gigi (for subscription)

  After the meeting, Gu Miao called Huang Kun to the office alone, and arranged a more in-depth work arrangement for him.

   "The Bears" is important!

  If the first season is to lay the foundation of the series and test the waters of experimental works, then the second season of "Global Adventures" is a key step that shows its sharpness and pushes this series to a milestone.

Therefore.

  Gu Miao did not designate a person in charge of the sequels of other TV animations, even Wanbao's most proud "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

  Only in the arrangements for the TV sequel of the second season of "Bears Infested", Gu Miao appointed the person in charge, and chose Huang Kun, whom he trusted the most.

   "The second season is pretty pivotal."

   "I know what you want to say, isn't it just adding a few new characters, just follow the first season?"

  Gu Miao glanced at Huang Kun, and said with a serious expression: "If you really think so, then you are wrong!"

   How many new characters are added?

  This is easy to say, but difficult to do.

  Non-resident characters like Cuihua and Old Crocodile are fine, but future resident characters like Mao Mao, King Jiji, Bengbeng, Tutu, and Carrothead cannot be fooled easily.

  Especially King Gigi and Maomao, the two monkeys who first appeared in "Adventure Around the World", are no less popular than the two brothers Xiong Daxiong in the later animations.

   To put it a bit exaggerated.

  Maybe King Gigi has more fans than the two idiots Xiong Daxiong Er combined!

  Such a high-quality gold medal supporting role cannot be wasted in the hands of Huang Kun, it must be paid attention to, and on the basis of the original version, give it greater charm and make the character more plump and charming.

   "Isn't it possible?"

   Seeing Mr. Gu's exaggeration, Huang Kun was a little unconvinced. In his opinion, the new animal characters in the second season are certainly interesting, but how about stealing the limelight from Xiong Da Xiong Er?

   Didn’t you wake up?

   Xiong Da Xiong Er is the protagonist, the character with the most scenes. It is absolutely impossible for them to be taken away by a supporting role with a pitifully low appearance rate, even if this supporting role is very interesting.

   At most it’s just like bouncing!

   Squirrel Bounce won the love of many audiences when it first appeared on the stage, but as time went by, coupled with the fact that Bounce didn't have many scenes, it was quickly ignored or even forgotten by many audiences.

  If the reminder is not emphasized, many children will even forget that there is a very cute little squirrel in the animation "Bear Infested".

  In Huang Kun's view, the two monkeys mentioned in the plan, namely Jiji and Mao Mao, are not worthy of Mr. Gu's attention at all.

   Not so, not so!

  It’s just two monkeys who don’t have much role in the show. It’s OK to pay attention to it a little bit. The focus should still be on the two protagonists, Xiong Daxiong Er.

   "This is not bouncing..."

  Gu Miao rubbed her forehead and said, "I know you may not believe it, but what I said is the truth. These two monkeys are really likely to become popular, even more popular than Xiong Da Xiong Er."

  Be reasonable.

  Before the original version of "Bear In The World" was broadcast, no one expected that the combination of Gigi and Maomao would bring such a big surprise to the animation.

   These two monkeys are really popular!

  How hot is it? It was so popular that it was supposed to be a supporting role as a cameo, but it was immediately upgraded to a resident role, and even appeared in many movie theater versions after that.

  Before the broadcast of "Adventure Around the World", when people mentioned the animation of Bears, the first thing that came to mind was Bear Big Bear II and Bald Qiang.

  After the broadcast of "Adventures Around the World", the animated characters that people think of, in addition to the "iron triangle" pair of Xiong Daxiong Erbald Qiang, have to add a "King Gigi"!

   People often say.

  Giji is to "Bear Infested", it is like Lazy Goat to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

   It seems that the protagonist is not alone, and there are not many scenes, but it has an equally important position. Without it, the appeal of animation to children will be greatly reduced.

   "Lazy sheep?!"

  When Gu Miao said that Gigi's importance to the "Bear Infested" animation is equivalent to that of a lazy sheep, Huang Kun immediately attracted Huang Kun's attention.

   "Is it really that important?"

"certainly!"

  Gu Miaoman said firmly: "It's better than worse. With the joining of Jiji and Mao Mao, the animation "Bear Infested" can be regarded as a great work comparable to or even surpassed "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"."

   In fantasy terms.

  The combination of Jiji and Maomao is like the "Tianxin Seal" in the fantasy world. Only by obtaining this thing can it be regarded as the true enlightenment and becoming an emperor.

   Didn't get this thing?

   No matter how good the performance of "The Bears" is, no matter how brilliant the performance is, at best it is nothing more than a holy body.

  A super-popular and explosive animation, or the birth of an "emperor-level" animation that suppressed the industry for more than ten years, the charming protagonist certainly contributed, but the interesting supporting role is also the key to success.

  In Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, there is Red Wolf who sweeps the world, Lazy Goat who wins the hearts of the audience, and slow Goat who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable...

  And in the "Bear Infested" animation, do you think that the success depends on the three characters Bald Qiang and Xiong Da Xiong Er?

wrong!

   There are also interesting supporting characters such as Boss Li, Jiji, Mao Mao, Bengbeng and Carrot Head.

   Among them, although Boss Li has never shown his face, he is definitely the number one hero, and the second hero is Jiji and Mao Mao.

   Just imagine.

  Assuming that "Bears Infested" does not have these supporting roles, and the whole animation is just a one-man show sung by Xiong Da, Xiong Er and Bald Qiang, is it still so exciting and interesting? Will it still attract so many children to watch?

"I understand."

  Under Mr. Gu's enlightenment, Huang Kun finally understood the importance of the combination of Jiji and Maomao.

  He decided to study it carefully.

  Since these two monkeys are so important, it is necessary to carefully arrange the scenes and rethink the shaping of these two characters.

   "You study slowly."

   "The advice I can give you is to think more about complementarity when shaping the character image." Gu Miao said with a smile.

   As the saying goes, no one is perfect!

  Since no one is perfect, how can an animated character be perfect?

  Properly design some shortcomings, but this shortcoming is not so fatal, and the advantages are enough to cover these shortcomings, then this is a pretty good animated character.

   Still take Gigi as an example.

  This monkey who likes to call himself "the king" has a proud and arrogant personality.

  But it is precisely this unlovable monkey who has successfully attracted countless children by virtue of his intelligence, bravery, affection and righteousness, and reliability at critical moments.

  What does this mean?

  When creating an animated character, you can’t just think about "Wei Guangzheng". Sometimes some shortcomings are added appropriately, not only will it not cause audience rejection, but it will increase their favorability.
