Chapter 733: Adaptation
"The Rebellious Lelouch" is an animation he always wanted to do.
But Meng Huo never considered making it out, because there were many issues involved in the adaptation, and it was difficult for the original worldview to be substituted into this world. This situation continued until the first two months, and the start of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" gave him a chance.
While preparing for that animation, Phoenix searched for experts and artists to reconstruct a modern civilized planet similar to Earth, and the story of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" took place on that planet.
At that time, Meng Huo also made the original case of "The Rebellious Lelouch".
This is also the reason why he was able to take it down on the bookshelf. Of course, all he made was the original case. He had never told anyone about it because he was not sure whether it could become a real animation plan to be launched at the time.
This requires an experiment. "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" serves as a test piece. If it can be liked by the audience, then "The Rebellious Lelouch" with similar techniques and world backgrounds will naturally succeed.
Now, after two months of broadcasting, "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has undoubtedly been successful, and it has been a great success! Its new worldview is highly praised, and that planet similar to Earth has also been loved by many people. In this case, Meng Huo judged that "The Rebellious Lelouch" can be produced with a new worldview.
The script of "The Rebellious Lelouch" has not changed, but has changed the geographical settings of some countries. The location of District 11 will not remind people of the extreme east. Britain and the Federation of China will not remind people of the current world - Meng Huo avoided the taboos of China.
He had to do this because if he followed the same worldview, "The Rebellious Lelouch" would have to become a banned animation.
Although China is tolerant of the cultural market, a new work by a cartoonist with such a huge influence. If the country's territory is divided into two and the bad information is conveyed to the society, the result is obviously obvious - the ban is small, and it will be troublesome if you drink tea.
Meng Huo didn't want to touch these things. He was disgusted with political problems in any work, so after handing over the paper bag to Qin Yuxuan, Meng Huo kept concentrating his attention in secret and observing his expression.
He believed that the setting of "The Rebellious Lelouch" has been completely decoupled from the real society. There is no problem of allusion, but who knows whether he will make mistakes in some details, so the reaction of bystanders is particularly important.
Qin Yuxuan didn't know that the original case in his hand had such a complicated background. After being surprised by the name of the new animation, he carefully opened the bag and took out the original case and started to watch it carefully.
The original case of "The Rebellious Lelouch" is relatively simple. Perhaps it cannot be said to be the original case, but a collection of some settings. The information in the paper bag is divided into three parts, part of which is a map, a map of the planet and a country. The map also marks the names of some key areas and forces.
The first thing Qin Yuxuan saw was the content of this part, but he put the map information on the table. He took the lead in reading the content of the second part, the second part was the character design and the machine design, mainly the character setting.
"So Lelouch is the name of the male protagonist... Why not use the Chinese name?"
The first picture is the character design of the male protagonist, with impeccable appearance. The quality of the characters drawn by He Xi does not need to be questioned. The male protagonist in this animation is quite handsome. When Qin Yuxuan secretly praised himself, the only strange thing was his name.
"I think this will facilitate broadcasting abroad..."
Meng Huo opened his eyes and told lies.
Qin Yuxuan frowned slightly: "Foreign broadcasts, have you confirmed a foreign TV station?... Forget it, since Teacher He Xi has watched so far, I naturally have no problem. With your reputation, this name will not affect the ratings."
He believed in Meng Huo's reason. In He Xi's animation, the protagonist's name will not affect the audience's disposal, and their confidence in He Xi has been established. He Xi does not have to cater to the market as much as a small company in some details.
Qin Yuxuan looked at other character settings. These animation images were very good. However, when he saw the body, he still asked strangely: "Is this animation related to Gundam animation?"
Meng Huo shook his head: "It doesn't matter, but using a body similar to Gundam is better to show the battle scenes needed in the animation."
"The Rebellious Lelouch" is certainly not a Gundam animation, but its plot cannot be related to war. In fact, the "humanoid robot weapon" is a very good setting, which can make many combat scenes more charming.
The reason why Gundam themes are popular is related to its powerful screen expressiveness. Whether it is scientific or not, its details and actions, and even the attraction they create to the audience, are difficult to achieve today's weapons (tanks, planes, etc.).
Qin Yuxuan once again recognized Meng Huo's idea. After reading the setting draft, he looked at the last part, which is the story setting.
Meng Huo naturally did not put the complete story draft on it. He did not prepare so detailedly, but he wrote the setting and history of geass, the background before the occurrence of "The Rebellious Lelouch", as well as the description of the stories and battles in the previous episodes.
Qin Yuxuan read this part very seriously. Although it was not complete enough, this part of the information was enough to understand the world view and the cause of the story. He was a little puzzled when he first went, and then he read it again the second time and understood it completely.
Although I don’t know the subsequent plot, the beginning is quite outstanding. Moreover, from this part of the information, Qin Yuxuan felt that there is a rigorous world view behind "The Rebellious Lelouch". This thing can almost guarantee that its quality will not fall into the lower level.
What is even more valuable is that the settings of several battles in the original case made Qin Yuxuan's eyes lit up: "These battles that defeat the strong with the weak are so exciting. Just reading the text makes people excited. Is Lelouch the protagonist of the wise type?"
"Yes." Meng Huo nodded and explained: "The plot progress of this animation depends on Lelouch's wisdom. He is weak and is not the protagonist suitable for fighting others, but he is the commander of a genius..."
As soon as he finished saying this, Qin Yuxuan immediately became excited: "Very good, I like this animation, it looks very interesting! Teacher He Xi, how about starting promotion next week!?"
The wise protagonist, the animation focuses on combat, and the setting of "The Rebellious Lelouch" is very interesting. There has never been such a work in China now. Qin Yuxuan believes that as long as the news spreads, every animation fan will jump up excitedly.
He Xi is a famous genius boy and has produced "Detective Conan". This time he launched a new wise character, and the title alone can attract others.
"Next week..." Meng Huo was a little surprised. Will he be a little anxious next week, but he thought for a while: "Next week is OK, but it must be done next weekend after the last episode of "The Girl of Light" ends."
Qin Yuxuan nodded happily: "No problem."
He looked at the several subordinates sitting next to him, full of anxiety, and smiled bitterly: "Then Teacher He Xi, can they see this original case? I can guarantee that they will not leak the news of the animation in advance."
Meng Huo nodded, hoping that these people would check the original case for him. Qin Yuxuan then distributed the information to his subordinates. Meng Huo told them that they could ask directly if they had any questions, and he also picked up the map and started discussing with Qin Yuxuan.
This afternoon passed during the discussion. So many people helped find fault, but in the end they didn't find anything wrong - Meng Huo was more confident in the animation production of "The Rebellious Lelouch".
But these people were not enough. After get off work, Meng Huo personally bid farewell to Qin Yuxuan and others, and then asked the secretary to print out a few original case materials and sent them to some company personnel in Ninghai and Tokyo.
Meng Huo asked these people to spend a week to help him select the problem of "The Rebellious Lelouch". If they did not find any risks, then the animation would have completely implemented the setting adaptation.
After assigning this job, Meng Huo waited for the broadcast of the last episode of "The Girl of Light" with peace of mind. Strangely, after two days on Saturday and Sunday, there was still no negative news about Shen Jie from various media...
Meng Huo was a little worried. It was a good thing to have no news, but it was wrong to think about it. He frowned and thought for a long time, and even doubted whether his judgment was wrong. The two reporters were actually very timid and dared not sell the information to others, nor did they dare to use it for themselves.
In order to determine whether his guess was correct, Meng Huo contacted Dong Ding of Zhongxia Company on Monday to test whether he had received any invitation from a reporter.
"You are talking about your company's voice actors, right?" However, after hearing his words, Dong Ding immediately knew what he was hinting at: "I received a report a few days ago, but I agreed with you not to compete with you. I think this is also a vicious means, so I sent someone to buy information and cut off the matter..."
Dong Ding and Meng Huo agreed not to use vicious means, but in fact they did not include props delivered to the door, let alone irrelevant voice actors. However, Dong Ding wanted to maintain a stable connection with Meng Huo, and he looked down on this information, so he naturally would not do anything that would damage the relationship between the two.
Meng Huo breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out that you bought it..."
"No." But before he finished speaking, Dong Ding added: "I plan to buy it and then suppress the matter. But what's strange is... When I sent someone over, the reporters did not appear on time. When they contacted again, they suddenly changed their words and said that there was no such thing."
"If it weren't for your phone call that reminded me, I would have thought that they were making a mystery from the beginning." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
