My Animation Era

Gu Miao and Huang Kun talked a lot.

After roughly finalizing the project plan, the two people were excited and prepared to convene a meeting with the animation company's management. Suddenly they realized a very critical issue.

Who will film this animation?

Huang Kun, as the creator of the "Human Torch" character line drawings and the first person to think of this, definitely wanted to make this animation.

And Gu Miao also likes the story "The Adventures of Luo Luo"...

Embarrassed!

The two of them looked at each other in confusion, staring at each other's faces for a long time, both trying to get the other to quit, but unfortunately no one spoke.

"Mr. Gu!"

"Akun..."

As the atmosphere became increasingly awkward, both of them couldn't help it anymore and said in unison: "How about you take a break first?"

After that, the atmosphere became more subtle.

Gu Miao was the first to lose control and pointed at Huang Kun and asked: "You just finished "Pig Man 3", don't you feel very tired now? Go back and rest, I will give you a few days off!"

"No, no, I'm not tired."

"On the contrary, Mr. Gu, you are exhausted physically and mentally after just finishing "The Adventures of Uncle Long". You should go home and rest." Huang Kun retorted.

"I don't care, I want to shoot!"

"I don't care, I want it too!"

The two of them were fighting like children, holding their arms around each other and looking at each other, neither of them willing to let go first.

They faced off like this for more than ten minutes. In the end, Huang Kun could not withstand the pressure and took the lead in raising the white flag.

After all, you have to get paid!

Huang Kun said that for this project, there is actually no need for the two of them to fight and they can completely cooperate.

Who says an animation can only have one director/supervisor? Can't there be two directors to share power and responsibility?

"Then I am the chief director?"

"No, there is no general director for this animation. You are the director and I am also the director." Huang Kun explained.

"Then who has the final say on the production team?" Gu Miao wondered, "If you and I have a dispute over something, who will make the final decision?"

"Lady boss!"

"I have thought about it. The producer and producer are given to the proprietress, and she will be the referee. Now it is fair!" Huang Kun added.

It’s okay to arrange it this way...

Gu Miao was not interested in the false reputation of the so-called chief director. He just had itchy hands and wanted to direct "The Adventures of Lolo" himself.

In the same way, Huang Kun actually doesn't care about this. He is also very interested in this animation and doesn't want to quit, so he proposed this.

Then it’s decided!

Since neither Gu Miao nor Huang Kun wanted to quit, they decided to cooperate and co-direct and produce the animation "The Adventures of Luo Luo".

"etc!"

"Is the title of Luoluo Adventures final?" Huang Kun asked.

"Uh! As expected, this name should be used." Gu Miao asked with some confusion, "What? Do you think this name is inappropriate?"

"Something is wrong..."

Huang Kun frowned and said: "The Adventures of Luoluo, if you just look at the name, others would think it is a fake sequel to "The Adventures of Uncle Long"!"

"Too."

Gu Miao nodded.

The name "The Adventures of Luoluo" may not be a problem in normal times, but by coincidence, Wanbao has just released an animation called "The Adventures of Uncle Long".

If these two animations were released at the same time, they might be mistaken for being part of the same series.

Just as "Digimon", "Happy Baby" and "Pokémon" were often confused by people, people even speculated that Wanbao has a "baby series".

Because the names are so similar.

Ordinary viewers and passers-by who have never seen it are easily confused and can’t even tell who is who.

Moreover, the naming method of XX Adventures has a "old-fashioned" beauty to be honest, and does not have the "middle-class feeling" and "coolness" unique to this type of animation.

What about Fruit Treasure Attack and Super Beast Arms? These names sound more noble than XX Adventures...

Ever since, Huang Kun proposed to give this project a new name.

He and Gu Miao discussed it and finally decided to use the deformable robot as a selling point and name it the "Various Robots" series.

The Adventures of Lolo became the subtitle.

The so-called subtitles refer to drama titles such as "Sheep Games" and "Fantasy Pleasant Goat". In front of this subtitle, there is also the main title "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

The full name of the project is "The Adventures of Lolo: The Adventures of Variety Robot". Since it is the first animated work in the series, it can also be referred to as "The Adventures of Variety Robot 1".

Now it’s intuitive.

The first season of the Pig Man series is called "Pig Man: The Magic Pig Chronicle", in which Pig Man is the main title and the Magic Pig Chronicle is the subtitle.

This "combination of primary and secondary" naming method is quite common in the animation industry, especially "series" works, especially those who like to use this kind of title.

But then again...

Although during the discussion, it was determined that "Various Robots" would be made into an animated series, to be honest, Gu Miao did not think this series would be successful.

There is a high probability that this so-called ever-changing robot series will never be mentioned again after the first season of The Adventures of Lolo ends.

Don't ask why!

Even Gu Miao doesn't know how to get a sequel to a story like The Adventures of Luo Luo? Or a new work based on the same background and world view?

[After Luoluo and Jingjing returned home, the world of motorcycle warfare ushered in a new crisis. The motorcycle tribe and the beast tribe encountered new powerful enemies and were in danger...

In times of crisis, Luo Luo and Jingjing, the former kings of machine battles, return to the world of machine battles without hesitation, re-lead the motorcycle tribe and beast tribe, go through untold hardships to defeat powerful enemies, and restore peace to the world of machine battles again? 】

Or should we simply let characters from the mecha world such as Human Torch, Vanguard, Tyrannosaurus, and Tiger King travel to the real world where Luoluo and Jingjing live?

This is too much...

It's not that such a sequel plan is not feasible, but it would be a bit too childish to do so.

And Gu Miao felt it too.

"Cardcaptor 2" or "Cardcaptor 3" produced based on this template will hardly achieve very good results, let alone surpass the first season of "The Adventures of Lolo".

It’s not difficult to make a series.

The difficult thing is how to ensure that every work in the series can maintain the same height as "The Adventures of Lolo"?

Failing this, Gu Miao would rather refrigerate the "Various Robots" series than hastily launch a so-called sequel and ruin the good reputation established in the first season.

What?

Renovating and remaking the first season, putting old wine in new bottles, what kind of martial arts are you doing?

Stop it! Gu Miao is not short of creativity, so why bother doing such a thankless thing? Those martial arts methods, or the return of the King of War, are not his cup of tea at all!

If he is really obsessed with this kind of subject matter and wants to explore the potential of "transformable robots", it would not be impossible to make another "Transformers"!

To be honest, the Variety of Robots is not as easy to remember as The Adventures of Luoluo. They are always remembered as the Hundreds of Transformations, Transformation of Robots...
