Chapter 599: Decision Gundam
This is a miracle. Before this, Gundam had never appeared in novels and TV media. After it was proposed by He Xi, it became a unique subject in the comics industry.
Many cartoonists fell in love with Gundam at first sight. This giant robot with rich, complex and diverse settings, the perfect combination of violence and aesthetics has fully mobilized the research interests of cartoonists - especially after the birth of "Gundam Colored Ed", Gundam quickly spread into a trend.
Among the animations that are aired now, there are also many Gundam animations, and they are generally popular.
When thinking about the second new animation, Meng Huo certainly couldn't have thought of this theme. He had already had a Gundam animation in his mind, and even it met the standard of half a year in time: "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", its content for one season is just enough for half a year to be broadcast.
But the problem is...
"I've thought about the Gundam theme." Meng Huo picked up the chopsticks and said, "But the Gundam story I want to write is a bit difficult to solve in the background. "
He motioned for Alice to have a meal, but Alice did not rush to get off the chopsticks, but asked strangely: "Background? What background?"
"It's the world background."
The story of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is based on a worldview, and this worldview is harder to change than the worldview of "Gundam ed". "Gundam ed" is a war between the earth and the new human beings. It was already very troublesome to Meng Huo when it was changed. "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" - at least in the first season, its story is based on the alliance of three major countries.
These three alliances are the union (World Economic Union), led by the United States of America as the central government, the Human Reform Alliance centered on China, Russia and India, and the European-centered AEU (New EU Community). The alliances of major countries have launched a huge game of hegemony for their respective prestige and prosperity - and this is the background of the story of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".
This background is completely different from the current world situation. Moreover, Japan is also part of the World Economic Union. If it is moved here, it will be the rhythm of being sprayed to death. Of course, Japan is easy to solve. The story of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" will not pay too much attention to a single country, and some changes can be made up for it.
The problem is that big forces, three alliances must have... But in this world, do you think of three big forces? The Chinese people generally do not recognize Europe and the United States, and they still compare them with China? That's nothing to count! Meng Huo did not mention Japan to Alice, but said that his story needs to divide the world into three big forces. This is exactly the most difficult thing.
"This will not cause political problems, but public opinion problems will be huge."
Meng Huo said that the world government would not care so much, but the people were different. He was really worried that he would really divide the world and treat China as one of the three poles. Maybe a group of reporters would immediately come out and say that he was stingy and said that foreign countries were so powerful, which belittled China's strength.
Especially now when we are competing with Zhongxia Company, if this problem is not handled well, it will easily be caught by Zhongxia Company.
"..." Alice frowned slightly: "Can't you lose it? Don't write the name of the country!"
"How to cover it?" Meng Huo shook his head: "The map is here. Even if the name changes, others will find fault with you after the broadcast?"
He thought Alice's proposal was unreasonable. Here is the map. Even if you call China China, others will substitute it into China. If you want to change it, you have to change the map together... Well? The map is also changed? Meng Huo was suddenly stunned and seemed to have thought of something in his mind.
"It's useless to change the name, just build a new planet!" Alice thought of something similar to Meng Huo at this time and said, "As long as it is a completely unfamiliar planet and the continental terrain is changed, even if there are three forces, no one will say anything."
Meng Huo frowned: "I have made the division of power, national division, and even the terrain will be combined with the army organization according to the earth's geographical model. Can I change this way?"
"Why can't it?" Alice nodded and said, "Look for a few scholars to create a new planet and geographical model, and then put all the elements you want in, arrange forces, and arrange military layouts. Everything can be coordinated according to your requirements...but the preliminary project volume will be more complicated, and this is absolutely fine!"
Meng Huo's eyes lit up.
"So there is another trick, why didn't I expect it?"
He thought to himself that if even the planet has changed, he would not offend the audience. Even some of his troubled things can be solved easily, and some more sensitive works can be released in the future. For example, "The Rebellious Lelouch", this animation is very classic, but one of the important settings in it is that Japan is a defeated country, and the role of mainland China in it is also very obvious.
According to general circumstances, this animation has no solution in terms of setting and is absolutely impossible to release.
But what if we create a new planet? Change the location of Area 11 to a long island in the south of the world continent, and the country adjacent to it is a dynasty located in the middle and lower reaches of the continent. Change the name - others will never think that it is related to China! As for Great Britain, put it on the east, west or north of the continent... It doesn't matter.
The name has been changed, the planet has been changed, the geographical trend has been changed, and the direction has been changed, which is absolutely safe.
Although it looks very messy on the surface, Meng Huo has a general model in his mind. It is not difficult to as long as he gathers a group of scholars to construct a model of a new world. The only problem is that it affects the sense of substitution. A new planet, a country with strange names and a geographical environment, which will have an impact on the audience's sense of substitution, and the risks are also great, and may not be able to surpass the original work.
But - "What do I mind?" Meng Huo suddenly thought, why did he mind so much inclusion? He was watching the story, and the story was the core! As long as the story was exciting enough, it doesn't matter whether the planet and the country are the same as reality, or... it doesn't matter better.
In his previous life, these animations were of different nationalities from him, and he didn't bring himself to that country. He still liked them differently? What he liked was stories, not other messy things.
Meng Huo thought about it more and more, and he quickly made a decision: "Okay, choose Gundam in the next animation!" He decided to launch "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". This is a challenge. Whether or not to be continued with a new worldview may directly determine the future success or failure of Phoenix Company. (To be continued...)
