767 【Legend of Nezha】
Of course, because the story of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck is very simple, in terms of plot, Luo Yuan only needs to lay out the background a little, and there will be a dedicated screenwriter responsible for the content.
As a boss, it’s impossible to cover everything.
In addition to this story of mice and ducks, Luo Yuan is also preparing for the company to produce "Cat and Mouse". Luo Yuan is also responsible for participating in background creation and character arrangement. He only needs to give a brief mention of the specific plot.
Someone can follow his ideas and make it up.
Luo Yuan loved that mouse when he was a child.
So in addition to foreign works, some wonderful domestic animations can also be considered. Recently, the filming of "Journey to the West" is in full swing. Maybe I can make a warm-up and let "The Legend of Nezha" be born.
In fact, Nezha is one of the most famous orthodox gods in China.
His main story originates from religious beliefs and folklore. As a righteous god who specializes in conquering demons, his god's specifications are quite advanced. Traditional culture is mainly divided into three major systems:
Orthodox Taoist theology.
Folk beliefs and gods.
Gods and demons.
The traditional belief in Nezha is mainly defined as the Taoist theological cultural tradition, and some cultures also have Buddhist beliefs. The story of Nezha already exists in the Buddhist scriptures of the Song Dynasty, such as "Wu Deng Hui Yuan" and "Quotations of the Monk of Mi'an".
", "Jingde Chuan Leng Lu", etc., the name of Nezha appeared even before the Song Dynasty. Although there are records of Nezha in many Buddhist books, Nezha was not originally created by Buddhism, and Nezha was not a monk, but
He is a boy with long hair.
but……
Compared with "Journey to the West" which has strong foreshadowing in literary masterpieces, in many people's eyes, the story of Nezha only appears in three chapters of "The Romance of the Gods", and the popularity of this character is not high enough.
After all, not everyone is so familiar with traditional Chinese myths and legends, so Luo Yuan is also very happy to tell the story of "The Legend of Nezha".
You must know that Nezha’s animation is very classic.
The screenwriter did not blindly follow "Journey to the West" or "Feng Shen", but restructured the story, added characters, and created a classic "Legend of Nezha" that countless people remember as children. This is what Luo Yuan thought in his previous life.
One of the most classic TV animations, it has much higher technical content than the later TV animation "Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf".
Moreover, it can achieve the purpose of warming up for "Journey to the West".
In the early plot of "Journey to the West", Heaven sent heavenly soldiers and generals to attack Huaguo Mountain. One of the fierce generals sent was the third prince of Nezha who stepped on the hot wheel. Even in the description of the original work, this is also a character.
The ruthless character who can start a battle with monkeys, if there are animations related to Nezha as a foreshadowing, Journey to the West will definitely become more popular!
And it’s not just Nezha.
In "The Legend of Nezha", the presence of the Old Dragon King is not low. He is also a character who appeared in the early stage of "Journey to the West". The golden cudgel of the Old Dragon King is the monkey's future weapon...
The more I think about it, the happier I become.
In Luo Yuan's heart, Nezha's sense of existence has gradually become stronger than the previous mice, ducks, or cats. The next task of the Crimson TV animation department is:
Make these three cartoons!
With this idea in mind, Luo Yuan returned to the company with everyone just after the construction visit. He was not in a hurry to have a meeting with people from the TV animation department. He first drew the character settings in his office.
mouse.
Duck.
cat.
Dog.
Nezha wait.
Various animated characters appeared on the straw paper in front of Luo Yuan. Fortunately, Luo Yuan is a director with very superb painting skills. Otherwise, just copying these images would be a super difficult project, but it is not complete.
Although it is a copy, Luo Yuan has made some changes to the character image that are more in line with Eastern aesthetic standards, and is planning to discuss these changed images with the relevant person in charge of the TV animation department to make more detailed fine-tuning.
Classics may not be unchangeable.
Especially since Luo Yuan had already fine-tuned works such as "WALL-E" and "Kung Fu Panda" before this and achieved success, he is even more convinced that many images have become classics only because people first
An impression is at work, and if the bonus components of the first impression are removed, then there can be more than one way to create a classic.
Next few days.
Luo Yuan still did not find anyone from the TV animation department, but stayed in his office, perfecting the images of these characters and the story outlines of the three animation works. Luo Yuan also wrote down some of his own views on the story,
At that time, the producers will be given a reference, such as "The Legend of Nezha". Luo Yuan hopes that the story style will have an epic feel.
Large-scale mythological epic animation!
This is his positioning of "Legend of Nezha". Whether it is the image of Nezha or the appearance of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, there will be some connection and echo with the TV series "Journey to the West". However, the background setting of this animation is generally more...
I tend to prefer Fengshen, and there is no "Fengshen Yanyi" in this world, so it can be regarded as an original work of Crimson.
He hopes that not only children will like Nezha.
Some teenagers can also watch this cartoon.
Two weeks later, Luo Yuan finally completed all this. He found the relevant person in charge of the TV animation department. The person in charge originally thought that the boss had forgotten about it, but he was naturally overjoyed and took Luo Yuan away that day.
It was a long meeting. During this meeting, Luo Yuan divided into three teams.
A team is responsible for Mickey Mouse.
A team is responsible for Tom and Jerry.
A team is responsible for "Legend of Nezha".
The three teams do not interfere with each other, and each can complete the story that suits its own style. Luo Yuan is not sure which tone the children in this world prefer. He has to cross the river by feeling stones for many things, but in the worst case scenario,
It's not too bad, after all, these stories have achieved unprecedented success in his memory.
"We're almost all alive."
During dinner in the evening, Ai Xiaoai counted on her fingers. TV series, movies, music, movie animations, TV animations, and most of the business areas involved in Scarlet had Luo Yuan standing behind them. Although the degree of participation was compared to
TV series and movies are much smaller, but the story outline and character design of TV animations are already the most critical aspects.
"It's all for Crimson Paradise."
Luo Yuandao: "The hotels around the park have also been bought by the company, renovated and turned into theme hotels. Then we can go and stay by ourselves. Isn't Manda going to laugh at us? When the park is built, who will laugh?
Chapter completed!
