My Animation Era

  Chapter 90 Do you know Sun Dalu?

  "Manga World" is selling well.

  The sales not only reached Gu Miao's target, but even slightly exceeded it, which made him very satisfied.

   "Then is there any reward?"

"Have!"

   Facing teacher Nantong's expectant eyes, Gu Miao nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Reward a chance to work overtime for free, what do you think?"

   Is this a reward or a punishment?

  Nantong rolled her eyes wildly and said: "Forget about working overtime! I'm exhausted these days, I just want to go home and have a good sleep."

   "Oh, young man!"

  Gu Miao lectured: "At your age, how can you sleep? Can you be a little bit promising?"

   "Look at Ma Kui, who is still lighting up the lamp at two o'clock in the middle of the night to read, talking about self-improvement, and then look at yourself, don't you feel ashamed?!"

  Nantong: "..."

  What are you ashamed of?

  Ma Kui reads the minutes of the meeting in the middle of the night, can that be called self-improvement? It was clearly a black slave who was squeezed by an unscrupulous employer, with tears rolling in his eyes!

   "Okay, Mr. Gu."

   "If you have anything to tell you, you don't need to beat around the bush. I will try my best to do what I can." Nantong said with a headache.

   "That's the right attitude!"

  Gu Miao said with satisfaction: "Let me ask you, how do you think about the mecha-themed works of fantasy and different worlds that I mentioned to you years ago?"

"I have no opinion."

  Nan Tong frowned and said, "It's just that I didn't want to understand, what is the story of breaking through the level you mentioned?"

   "That's easy!"

  Gu Miao gestured: "Have you ever played a stand-alone RPG game? Start from Novice Village, defeat all kinds of powerful enemies, and finally clear the level..."

   There is one thing I have to mention.

  Early neon animation, as long as it is a "different world" background, no matter what the theme is, the plot will give people a classic "Japanese RPG game" feeling.

   The visual sense is too strong!

  The same is true for "The Legend of Heroes of the Demon God". After watching the entire animation, it feels like you have passed an RPG game.

  The so-called "level-breaking plot" also comes from this.

  This kind of plot structure has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the "immersion" is super strong, and the viewing experience is not much different from playing games. Especially when the protagonist unlocks "new equipment", "new mounts" and "new skills", that feeling...

   It may be similar to staying up all night in your Internet cafe and finally bursting out with a dragon knife!

   As for the disadvantages, it is also obvious.

  The routines of RPG games are understood by anyone who has played them. It is similar to the "upgrade and change maps" in the Internet. In the early stage, the "supreme" is like a dog, but in the later stage, the "supreme" is not as good as a dog, and the real fairy walks everywhere!

   After watching this routine for a long time, it is inevitable that you will feel tired and crooked.

  So, although there are still some shadows of "RPG games" in the subsequent animations of different worlds, they have basically stepped out of the strange circle and started to play other routines.

  For example, when the full-level account enters Xinshou Village, my cheating is to attract all kinds of beautiful girls, and I am not a human being...

certainly!

  At this time, the animation of the different world has not been involved to that extent, and the RPG game-style breakthrough plot is still very popular with the audience.

   "I roughly understand."

After listening to Mr. Gu's introduction, Nan Tong sorted out his thoughts and said, "Simply speaking, there are seven floors in Chuangjie Mountain, and each floor has a few small fish and mobs, and a boss that guards the level. After the protagonist finishes fighting these monsters, , will go to the next level?"

   "That's right!" Gu Miao was very pleased.

  After talking so much, Nantong's elm brain finally opened up.

   If he hasn't gotten the hang of it yet, he'll almost suspect that this guy has never played RPG games, or hasn't read a book, and doesn't understand human language?

   "OK! Let me continue..."

  After telling the story structure, the next thing I want to talk about is the most important thing of this work, about the design and character setting of the "Magic God Robot" in the play.

   In this regard, Gu Miao has slightly changed.

   First the name!

  The names of the original works "Zhanbudu" and "Longshenmaru" must not be used anymore. Considering the realistic background, a more localized name must be given.

  Ryujinwan is easy to handle!

   Directly change it to "Dragon God" or "Shenlong", there is no problem at all. If it doesn't work, you can still use the name of the play "Dragon Fighter".

  The key is Xiaodu's name.

  The early translated name, that is, the transliteration of "Watano", although it is very consistent with the original. But this sounds bland, and it is not as easy as the "Xiaodu" from Liaoyi.

  As for the Taiwanese version of "Sun Dalu"?

  Emmm…

   Can you turn it over, not to mention the full "shame degree", which can be called a black history-like translation?

   Gu Miao dare to say, as long as the person in charge of translating has a normal mind, he will definitely not be able to come up with such a weird name. Even if you don't do anything, according to the transliteration, it is called "Watano", which is a hundred times stronger than this broken name!

  Speaking of...

  Xiangjiang translated the protagonist as "Feiyun", although the meaning is also unclear, but at least it sounds much better than "Sun Dalu".

  After much deliberation, Gu Miao finally decided to change the protagonist's name to "Geng Xiaodu".

  Why is the surname Geng?

  Because the pronunciation of "Geng" and "Geng" are similar, and the pronunciation of "Geng" in Japanese is "Watano", which is the translated name of the original version.

   "Geng Xiaodu? Let's do it!"

  Nantong doesn't care what the protagonist's name is, whether it's Geng Xiaodu or a brat, it doesn't matter after all. But the title of the work is worth debating.

   "Dragon Fighter!"

  Gu Miao said without hesitation: "The name of the work is "Dragon Fighter". The sequel will be after this name, and 234 will be added to distinguish it..."

  There is nothing to tangle with this.

  The original version of "Devil Heroes", because of a word "伝", made a joke about "Devil Heroes "Altar".

   "Did you read the Legend of Heroes of the Demon God?"

   "Isn't it the Demon God Hero Altar?"

   "What you are looking at is a pirated version, the original version is called Super Demon God Hero! There is no biography, and there is no altar!"

   This directly led to the fact that when Gu Miao saw the word "Devil God Hero", her head immediately became dizzy. She didn't know whether to add a word after it, and what word should be added!

   Or "Dragon Fighter"!

  At least he knows every word, and he won't easily admit his mistakes. If he can admit his mistakes and read them wrong, then he has nothing to do.

  In addition to changing the name...

  In the original animation, the shape of the "Devil Robot" also had to be "localized" in line with the trend.

   For example, Dragon God!

  The Dragon God in the original work, as a "clay robot" made by the protagonist Xiaodu, can fight because it hosts the golden dragon among the seven dragon gods.

   That design...

   Full of neon samurai style!

   It's not that this design is not classic enough, not eye-catching enough, it's precisely because this design is too classic and eye-catching, and the neon warrior style is too strong, Gu Miao needs to modify it.

  How to change?

  Do you still need to think about it? Of course, how to change how handsome, how cool how to change! It’s best to be so handsome that the picture is blurred, making the children drool...

   This is the best way to sell toys!
