My Animation Era

Comic World is selling okay.

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

"Is there any reward then?"

"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 taught her a lesson: "At your age, how can you sleep well? Can you be 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?!"

Nan Tong: "..."

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 exactly 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 Xinshou Village, defeat all kinds of powerful enemies, and finally pass the level..."

There is one thing I have to mention.

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

The sense of sight is too strong!

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

The so-called "breakthrough 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...

Maybe it’s the same as staying up all night in an Internet cafe and finally bursting out with a dragon-slaying knife!

As for the disadvantages, it is also obvious.

The routines of RPG games are understood by anyone who has played them, and it is similar to the "upgrade and change maps" in online articles. 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.

Therefore, 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 cheat 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, Nan Tong's elm head 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! Then I will continue..."

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

In this respect, Gu Miao changed slightly.

First is 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.

Ryujinmaru is easy to handle!

There is no problem at all if it is directly changed to "Dragon God" or "Shenlong". 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, which 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", which can be called a translated name like black history?

Gu Miao dared to say that as long as the person in charge of translating has a normal mind, he would 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 some deliberation, Gu Miao finally decided to change the protagonist's name to "Geng Xiaodu".

Why is your surname Geng?

Because the pronunciation of "Geng" and "Geng" are similar, and the pronunciation of the word "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..."

This is nothing to tangle with.

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

"Have 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 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 to add!

Still "Dragon Fighter" is good!

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 remodel it.

How to change it?

Do you even 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!
