Meng Huo's bad luck in playing cards seemed to surprise others.

But what surprised them was that Meng Huo was good at making mahjong animations but was not good at playing mahjong. He could write detective comics and could not solve cases, and he could write basketball and did not necessarily play basketball. After all, there was still a gap between knowledge and practice.

However, what surprised them was that another aspect was that Teacher He Xi, who had always shown that he had "all-knowledge and omnipotent", actually had something he was not good at, which made them as strange as discovering a new world.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I didn't expect that Teacher He Xi, you are not good at it."

Tomato became more and more excited. He had to let Meng Huo play mahjong when he pestered Meng Huo. This kind of opportunity was rare, so Meng Huo had to sit down. In fact, in his opinion, the luck factor in mahjong was greater than the technical factor, and he had never been lucky at the mahjong table.

Not only tomatoes, but other assistants seemed to be particularly interested in things that Meng Huo was not good at. They joined forces to frame Meng Huo at the card table, causing Meng Huo to lose a lot, and they didn't stop until the animation was about to be broadcast.

"You have a grudge against me, right?" Meng Huo asked with a smile after finishing playing cards.

"No hatred." "But it's quite satisfying!"

The assistants said satisfied that they had no worries and resentment towards Meng Huo, but they had few opportunities to win over Meng Huo for several years, so they naturally didn't want to miss it.

In the evening, Li Qin and Hua Meng entered the kitchen to prepare dinner, while the remaining people sat next to the TV, waiting for the animation to be broadcast.

"Teacher, can you tell me how this animation was made?"

Wang Yanmeng is very interested in the production process of "Genius Mahjong Girl". She has recently helped create the "One Piece" animation with Mah. This is a completely different experience from drawing comics. She really wants to know if other animation studios also work like One Piece.

In fact, the production process of each animation is generally the same, but the situation in each animation studio is different. Meng Huo told her about the work of Huiyue Studio he met in Yangzhou. Compared with the "One Piece" studio led by Angel, Huiyue Studio has a special cultural atmosphere.

In addition to telling about Huiyue Studio, Meng Huo also introduced the world background of "The Genius Mahjong Girl".

The story of "The Genius Mahjong Girl" takes place in a world similar to the earth. Mahjong in this world is a hot competitive event. Just like football or basketball in this world, the number of mahjong competitions in that world is as high as hundreds of millions, and many world events are held.

Each country also has different mahjong competitions to select players, including the two-year national mahjong competitions and youth competitions, etc. Even among teenagers, from elementary school to high school, each school basically has a mahjong department, and the "Genius Mahjong Girl" tells the story of mahjong competitions between high school students.

"This setting is very interesting, but teacher... why don't you set it like this in "Soul of Chess"?"

After listening to it, Wang Yanmeng's first reaction was to wonder why Meng Huo did not use this setting in "Soul of Chess". The Go status in "Soul of Chess" is an ordinary competition. However, if it is set as such a national competition in "Genius Mahjong Girl", it will definitely give people a very different feeling.

"Yes, if "Soul of Chess" is set like this, it will definitely be very good!"

Tomato agrees, think about the plot of "The Soul of Chess". If Go is also a world-renowned competitive event in the comics, then every move of the protagonist Xiaoguang can be described even more, and readers will look more refreshed.

"There is no need to do this in "The Soul of Chess". Go has professional Go."

Meng Huo said that the background setting of "Genius Mahjong Girl" is mainly to improve the real feeling of the "mahjong competition" in the animation. If the audience does not improve their position, they will naturally wonder why there are so many mahjong teams and competitions, which is obviously unscientific.

Moreover, the animation requires the appearance of a professional mahjong master, and the judges of the event must have an identity. However, if these are copied from the actual situation, they are obviously impossible.

Although the real mahjong is widely popular, it is not considered a high-end sport. It has no status. Except for gambling, other events are also quite rare, and no one knows about professional mahjong masters.

However, there is no need to worry about such things in Go. No matter what, professional chess players still exist, and you can find ready-made templates for competitions, and you don’t worry about the sense of substitution at all.

"...The teacher means there is no other reason, it's just that the animation must be set like this?" Wang Yanmeng asked.

Meng Huo nodded. Without these settings, the plot of "The Genius Mahjong Girl" would be full of loopholes. The settings are just to help the plot develop, and there is no other purpose.

Tomatoes are a little regretful: "What a pity. I thought this animation would become a masterpiece like "Chess Soul", but after hearing what the teacher said, "The Genius Mahjong Girl" should be just an ordinary animation."

"Although it is not a masterpiece, it cannot be said to be ordinary." Meng Huo laughed: "I have high expectations for it. If possible, I want to turn it into a series of animations."

"A series of animations? Isn't this the same as "Shana with the Eyes"?"

"So that's it... OK, the animation is about to begin..."

Meng Huo saw that the advertisement on TV was already counting down, so he put away the chat and focused his attention on the TV.

Tomato and the others watched it. Before the animation started, several assistants were thinking about Meng Huo's words just now. Is "The Genius Mahjong Girl" really worth his expectations? How big is the market for mahjong themes without the popularity of the comics?

Nowadays, there are more animations, so there are more choices. There are still many popular animations being broadcasted during the broadcast of "Genius Mahjong Girl". Among them, there are so many choices for his own animation. How can ordinary viewers be interested in a mahjong animation?

Moreover, although "The Genius Mahjong Girl" is nominally produced by He Xi, and he is responsible for the script and music, it is handled by Huiyue Studio after all. It is hard to say what extent they can do. They are a little worried about Tomato.

However, the scene at the beginning of the animation did not disappoint them. This was the scene where two girls met for the first time. It was summer. The place where they met seemed to be in the wild. A girl sat on the lawn reading a book, while another girl walked by her.

"This person... is so beautiful..."

The girl sitting on the lawn turned around and looked at the girl walking over. Her dubbing was also very good. Pomodoro felt a little relieved, at least in terms of the picture and dubbing. The level of this animation will not be low.

"Who is the heroine?" Wang Yanmeng obviously did not read the introduction in advance. She asked curiously: "Is it the beautiful one or the ordinary one?"

“Ordinary.”

Meng Huo replied that the girl who reads books looks average, but she is the number one heroine of "The Genius Mahjong Girl". The beautiful girl who walked over was the number two heroine.

However, in fact, the scene of this encounter is different from the original animation. The scene of the original is a bit like the gorgeous feeling of spring, and he adopts a scene design that is more inclined to comics.

However, this had no effect. The assistants around him didn't say anything bad. Wang Yanmeng also looked quietly after getting the answer.

There is no opening song at the beginning of "The Genius Mahjong Girl". The animation progresses much faster than Tomatoes imagined. After the first meeting, not long after, the heroine was invited by her friend to play cards. The second female lead who appeared at the beginning was a member of the Mahjong Department of this school. She is the champion of the individual group of the National Junior High School Mahjong Competition.

"Champion?" Seeing this scene, Tomato was surprised: "I said, teacher, is it too early to let the champion appear in the first episode?"

"You can tell if you keep watching quietly." Meng Huo did not answer.

The heroine played cards with people from the Mahjong Department, but she lost but she lost strangely. She scored positive and negative for several times. After she left, the minister of the Mahjong Department suspected that she had the strength to surpass the second female lead and deliberately maintained this score.

The second female lead chased her out in order to get the truth, and the result was as the minister said, but the heroine said to her the words "I don't like mahjong", which made her very unwilling...

Then the next day, the mahjong minister used the reason of borrowing books to lure the heroine to play cards in the mahjong department, and made some score changes. As long as the heroine reaches positive and negative 0, it can fully prove her conjecture.

Several other girls on the mahjong table wanted to suppress the heroine and prevent her from reaching positive and negative 0, but after a tense match, the heroine still achieved her goal with a miracle blooming on the ridge.

While she won, the ending song of the cartoon also started.

Looking at the opening song, Tomato was stunned and said, "Okay, so passionate!" He stood up: "That game just now was so passionate! Teacher He Xi, do you want to make this animation into a competitive animation?"

He was surprised, quite surprised. The plot of the first episode of the animation was compact and interesting, but what surprised him was not the plot. It was the tension and passion created by the animation when telling the mahjong game.

This is a kind of passion that you can't understand without watching the animation. It is completely created by technology. Through the psychological changes of every bystander and opponent in mahjong, it highlights how miraculous the heroine's final victory is, which is exactly the same as in "The Soul of Chess".

"It's incredible that mahjong can be so passionate..." Mah couldn't help but exclaim. The style of the animation started with a very good style, but the scenes of almost all female characters made him feel the breath of lily animation. He just thought this might be a niche, but the feeling of fighting mahjong was different.

Although mah can play mahjong, due to the space limitations of this episode, it does not describe the process of these mahjong games in detail. Therefore, when he watched the heroine's several cards, a large part of it was not understood.

However, even if he didn't understand, he could know the changes in the situation of mahjong through the characters' dialogues and narrations in the animation. This should not be just him, but the feeling of every viewer who sees this episode of the animation.

"Just like "Soul of Chess", this animation can be learned."

Mah and Tomato thought of the same comic, but in fact, Wang Yanmeng also thought of "Chess Soul", because "Chess Soul" has the same pattern. Through the description of the psychology and dialogue of the bystanders, it can make people who don't understand Go understand the situation of the game, which is also the secret to its success.

After being serialized, "Go" has become a template for many competitive comics. The editorial department even extracted its information, which has almost become a material that everyone who is preparing to draw competitive comics now has to learn, but so far, no one can surpass He Xi in this regard.

Unexpectedly, the same technique is placed on the animation, and it is more passionate than the comics. This may be regarded as another learning object and put some skills in the animation of "One Piece".

Mah has already started to think about "One Piece". Although the animation of "One Piece" is more passionate, the elements in "Genius Mahjong Girl" can indeed be found in some useful ones.

At the same time, he also believed what Meng Huo said before the animation started. It is not without reason that he had expectations for "The Genius Mahjong Girl". The ambition of this animation will not be small. If it is a niche animation, it would be fine for those who play mah. Why spend so much effort to make mah? I believe Meng Huo must have spent a lot of energy to prepare these animation techniques.

The target audience of "Genius Mahjong Girl" can be seen in this episode, which obviously includes those who do not play mahjong. Although the style looks like a girl's animation, it is probably a layer of skin. It is a competitive animation, passionate and exciting competitive animation.

“I do have the idea of ​​making it a competitive animation.”

At this time, Meng Huo's answer to Tomato also proved Mah's conjecture. He was indeed developing "Genius Mahjong Girl" into competitive animation, but this should not be surprising, because Meng Huo's plan was like this at the beginning.

His plan is very simple. If the first season of "Genius Mahjong Girl" can become popular to the same standard, he will then ask Huiyue Studio to produce the second and third seasons, directly convert it into a long story. If it does not meet expectations, he will release a new season in a few years as the original work.

Meng Huo's plan surprised Mah and the others. No one expected that "The Genius Mahjong Girl" would become a long story. In their cognition, the long story animations are very powerful. Now they can make long stories, and all of them are super popular animations.

Especially He Xi's long animation has become a golden sign. Even if an animation is written with his name, if it is not very popular, Phoenix Company will not turn it into a long one, Xu Jing and others think that this sign cannot be destroyed.

It is conceivable that Meng Huo's expectations for "The Genius Mahjong Girl" are quite high, and Phoenix's judging standards will definitely be very high. At least it is certain that if it is not more popular than "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast" or "The Burning Eyes Shana", it will definitely not be qualified to have a long serialization.

But can it be more popular than these two animations?

Tomato and Mah both have questions. "The Genius Mahjong Girl" is good, but this episode doesn't give them a particularly good feeling. The beginnings of the two animations are both very good. (~^~)
Chapter completed!
