The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 701 is full of meaning, classic animation!
The animation rhythm of "Calabash Brothers" is so fast.

The reason for the speed is very simple, that is, the budget is too limited, so we can only show as much plot as possible in a limited time.

This places very high demands on the entire script.

In a residential area in Beijing, a middle-aged man sat on a chair in his study, looking at the computer screen with a smile on his face.

The video he was watching on his computer was "Calabash Brothers".

The middle-aged man is named Yang Shujie. He is a writer and screenwriter.

In recent days he has taken on a script-writing job and is worrying about how to write it.

When he couldn't write anything, his choice was to give up and simply stop writing.

When I’m not writing, I go to the movies, watch TV series or anime, or travel, which is euphemistically called field trip.

This is a much more comfortable life than that of most online writers.

Yang Shujie is not an online writer and does not need to update every day, otherwise he would have to rack his brains to come up with the content for the leave application.

"Calabash Brothers" was an animated series recommended to him by a friend. Yang Shujie watched all the way to the seventeenth episode in one go. Like other viewers, he also understood the moral of the show.

This aroused Yang Shujie's strong interest in this animation, and he felt that he already had some inspiration.

Yang Shujie continued to watch episode 18.

In episode 18, Fire Baby made his first appearance. In this episode, Fire Baby also demonstrated his ability to spit lightning from his mouth.

The green snake spirit used her magic weapon to make it rain, extinguishing the flames spewed out by the fire baby.

The sixth child used his invisibility skills to deal with the goblin, and the seventh child took out his magic gourd and sucked all the goblin's magic weapons into the gourd.

In the end, even the green snake demon and the crocodile leader were sucked into the gourd.

Yang Shujie was stunned.

"Everything has been sucked in. How can we break the situation?"

Yang Shujie immediately began to analyze it in his mind.

It was obvious that the goblins were looking for the gourd baby's weaknesses, but the magic gourd was very strong and could not be broken.

Before Yang Shujie could figure it out, the answer was already revealed.

The green snake spirit took out a woodworm from its treasure bag, and the woodworm began to gnaw along the inner wall of the gourd.

Yang Shujie's eyes immediately lit up.

"What a great idea! The strongest fortress is often breached from within!"

This kind of woodworm is not only found in gourds, but also in many places!

After losing his magic gourd, Qiwawa became an ordinary gourd boy and was kicked directly into the abyss by the monster.

A war began again.

Faced with the Fire Baby's strength, the Green Snake Spirit used her bewitching magic to lure the Fire Baby into the ice cave.

The style of this chase scene is very unique, and many scenes are full of fantastic ideas.

This episode ended here. Yang Shujie was already fascinated by it. He wrote down some of his thoughts in a notebook and planned to continue watching tomorrow.

After "Calabash Brothers" was updated the next day, Yang Shujie sat in front of the computer immediately.

At the beginning of the story, Liuwa used his invisibility to trick the crocodile leader.

But the green snake demon had already discovered Liuwa's weakness and took out a magic weapon from her treasure bag.

First, a piece of grass came out, flew to Liuwa's butt and turned into a tail. Then a flower flew out and turned into a big hat, which was put on Liuwa's head.

Liuwa dodged quickly, but he had a tail on his butt, so he could be seen even when he was invisible, and he was immediately caught by the hat.

The green snake spirit laughed and said, "Blue boy, you know how to become invisible. I will make a tail grow on your butt."

"You're still being stubborn. I think you should stop struggling in there. This hat is thick and hard. You can't get out even if you knock your head off."

When Yang Shujie saw this, he immediately understood that some things did not require reading comprehension, but some things actually could be done through reading comprehension.

"Sixth child can become invisible, which means he is a hermit who does not participate in disputes. To deal with such people, you have to catch them by the tail and put a big hat on them. This plot is really amazing."

Later, Huo Wa was trapped in an ice cave and escaped from it with the help of a crane.

The crane kept flying with the fire baby on its back, but on the way, the crane was shot by an arrow shot by the green snake spirit.

The plot is getting sad again.

In "The Calabash Brothers", the pangolin died, the grandfather died, and now the crane died.

It turned out that the crane had accepted the commission from the mountain god, and before dying, he handed the seven-colored lotus to the fire baby.

There were seven lotus seeds of different colors in Huowa's hand.

At this time, the green snake demon caught up again.

Her method of dealing with the fire baby is also very simple. Since you love to spit fire, I will let you cook a big pot of rice.

As long as Huo Wa can cook the rice, she will release the Gourd Brothers and surrender.

The fire boy believed the fairy's words, and as a result, the pot kept getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the cooking, Huo Wa was sweating profusely but couldn't get the pot boiling, so the Green Snake Spirit poured a basin of cold water directly on Huo Wa's head.

Cook a big pot of rice and pour cold water on it!

This scene resonated with many viewers.

"It makes me sad. I was too young and worked very hard in the company, but now I have to do the work of three people. My salary has not increased at all, and I have to take responsibility if something goes wrong. I have no enthusiasm for work now."

A group of adults watched "Calabash Brothers" with great interest and gained insights into life.

When the next episode started, the opening scene changed and a gourd baby wearing white clothes appeared.

In the barrage, the audience asked who this White Gourd Boy was.

Everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused.

Afterwards, the goblin held a banquet and opened the alchemy furnace to refine the Calabash Brothers into the Seven-Star Divine Pill.

A group of sycophants and monsters started praising him again.

The green snake demon threw the seven gourd brothers into the alchemy furnace and began to refine the alchemy. The fire was burning fiercely and the demons laughed excitedly.

In the alchemy furnace, only the fire baby opened his eyes.

He took out the seven-colored lotus and thought of the mountain god's instructions.

"Brothers, let's hug together!"

A flash of light passed by, and the alchemy furnace exploded, leaving only a round pill in the furnace.

The goblins thought that the Seven Star Pill was successfully refined, but in fact it was not the Seven Star Pill, but a compressed file of the Gourd King Kong.

As a result, after the green snake swallowed it in one bite, it found that it couldn't bite it at all.

Everyone tried to split the Seven Star Pill in half, but the sword ended up breaking.

He hit it with a hammer and the hammer broke.

The pill emitted light directly and turned into a gourd baby dressed in white.

"Here is Little Golden Gang!" Little Golden Gang shouted.

Suddenly, the barrage of comments began to increase.

“Is this seven-in-one?”

"Wow, this little King Kong is awesome!"

"Before, we defeated them one by one, but now the seven Calabash Brothers have united as one. Isn't this invincible?"

During the fight, Calabash Brothers also demonstrated his personal abilities.

"The hearts of the seven calabash brothers are all in my heart, and their abilities are all in my body!"

Sure enough, in the subsequent battles, Xiao Jin Gang could be said to be invincible.

The various magic weapons used by the Green Snake Demon were completely unable to harm Little King Kong.

Yang Shujie frowned and said, "Doesn't the little King Kong have any weaknesses now?"

But obviously, the story isn't over yet.

Later, the green snake demon used fog to blind Xiao Jin Gang's eyes, and then took the opportunity to escape.

Little King Kong began to chase the green snake demon.

What Yang Shujie didn't expect was that a little butterfly fairy appeared behind him.

"Are we going to add a love line?" Yang Shujie was a little confused.

The little butterfly plays a very important role in Calabash Brothers.

She introduced to Xiao Jin Gang the identity and magic weapon of the Green Snake Spirit, as well as the reason why she was here.

Little King Kong rescued Little Butterfly, but Little Butterfly had a golden hoop on her waist, the more she hit it, the tighter it got.

As a result, the Green Snake Demon came again at this time. With the help of the fog, the Green Snake Demon and Xiao Jin Gang fought evenly. In the end, the Green Snake Demon trapped Xiao Jin Gang, but the Green Snake Demon had no way to deal with Xiao Jin Gang.

The goblins captured Little Butterfly and made her a traitor to help them subdue Little King Kong.

The little butterfly accompanied Little King Kong along the way to avoid the traps and came to Qixiang Valley.

The two of them sat on a swing made of leaves, surrounded by various flowers, looking very romantic.

The little butterfly smiled and said, "With me by your side, you have no worries here. You can dance with flowers in the morning and sleep with exotic grass at night. You will forget all your worries and all your sorrows and pains." The two had a lot of fun in the Qixiang Valley.

Yang Shujie understood immediately.

"The land of gentleness is the grave of heroes. To deal with heroes, you have to let beauties take over."

The Green Snake Demon also learned that Xiao Jin Gang's weakness was that he was afraid of being grabbed by the waist, so she asked Xiao Hudie to kill Xiao Jin Gang.

But the little butterfly was also quite hesitant in her heart.

However, the first assassination attempt was discovered by Xiao Jin Gang and failed.

During their conversation, the two learned that King Kong's power lies in the pendant around his neck. Little King Kong drank the flower dew and got drunk. The Green Snake Spirit snatched the pendant from his neck and locked up Little King Kong and Little Butterfly together.

But soon, Xiao Jin Gang told the method to restore the ability, which is to restore the ability as long as he is exposed to sunlight.

With the help of the little butterfly, Little King Kong touched a ray of sunlight coming in from the cave entrance, and the pendant was recovered, and his power was restored.

But at the last moment, the little butterfly was stabbed in the chest by a spear thrown by the bat demon.

Little King Kong suddenly became angry.

The little butterfly shed tears and said: "Little brother, why are you crying? Don't be sad for me. I was forced by the Green Snake King to seduce you, but your heart is as clear as crystal. I like you. You are kind, sincere, brave, and always want to help others.

But the goblin's magic is very strong. If you want to defeat it, you must first destroy its treasure bag and diamond sword. Do you understand?"

Some viewers were so moved that they shed tears after watching this segment.

Little Butterfly was forced by the Green Snake Spirit, but from beginning to end she never did anything to directly harm Little King Kong.

Before Xiao Jin Gang drank the flower dew and got drunk, she had been persuading him not to drink anymore.

This goblin is actually kind.

After saying this, the little butterfly tilted its head and died.

The plot in some places in the original novel was a bit rushed, so Xu Ye added some content to enrich the plot and make the whole plot more natural.

Yang Shujie thought this love scene was quite interesting.

Many children's animations nowadays deliberately avoid emotional scenes, as if they are something they dare not touch.

A good love story, one that is just right, will add points to the animation.

In "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", the love story between Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit received unanimous praise.

Yang Shujie feels that the death of Little Butterfly is also an important part of Little King Kong’s growth.

But he also has a creator's perspective in mind.

"You can't be together. There are seven calabash brothers, but only one little butterfly. You must die."

If this little butterfly doesn't die, is it possible that it will fall in love with the seven gourd brothers?
Little King Kong headed towards the goblin's lair.

Along the way, he encountered three demons and four monsters.

The first one is strange, it is called black eating black.

It can spit out black wind to roll people into its mouth and eat them. It usually feeds on stones and is immune to ice and fire. In the end, it was killed by Little King Kong by smashing its mouth with a stone.

The second one is a spider monster.

The spider demon can play a hypnotic song on its web to hypnotize people, and there is also a little hedgehog caught in the web.

At the reminder of the little hedgehog, Little King Kong covered his ears and killed the spider monster with fire and lightning, saving the little hedgehog in the process.

Little King Kong and the little hedgehog continued to move forward and encountered the third monster.

This monster is called the Many-Faced Monster. It has many different faces and can change into various appearances at will.

The multi-faceted monster originally wanted to use a woman's face to confuse Little King Kong and trick him into drinking poisoned wine.

With the help of the little hedgehog, the trick of the multi-faceted monster was exposed. The multi-faceted monster became angry and turned into a ghost face, and shot various hidden weapons from its mouth to attack Little King Kong.

Little King Kong picked up a sharp boulder and smashed the multifaceted monster to pieces.

Then Xiao Jin Gang met the fourth monster, this one was called the King of Reaching Hands.

The King of Extending Hands has no hobbies except collecting bribes. His arms can be long or short, and he is not afraid of water or fire, but is afraid of giving him too little. Eventually, Little King Kong used a huge rock from above to smash down the King of Extending Hands' arm.

When Little King Kong moved forward again, he met the fifth monster, the beautiful monster.

This is a monster that looks like a beautiful woman. Only her upper body can move, and there are nets on both sides to block the enemy's way.

At this time, Yang Shujie noticed a detail.

These monsters all said that they were not afraid of water or fire.

"These monsters are not afraid of water or fire, and their bodies are made of stone. Does this mean that they are rotten to the core and cannot be washed away by water or fire?"

Yang Shujie was thinking irresponsibly.

These monsters also obviously have a meaning. Xiao Jin Gang almost fell here. It is true that even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.

Finally, the little hedgehog stepped forward and woke up Little King Kong. Little King Kong immediately enlarged his body and crushed the beautiful witch to pieces with one foot.

Little King Kong continued to move forward and met the sixth monster, which was a monster called King Steel Teeth.

The King of Steel Teeth has only one face, and the most prominent feature of it is his steel teeth. He is afraid of nothing except being tickled in the armpits.

Little King Kong discovered that his weakness was his nostrils, and he would sneeze if his nostrils were tickled.

Little King Kong scratched his nostrils, and when he sneezed, he passed through the gap of his mouth, and then ran headfirst into the last monster.

This demon is called King Kong, guarding the seventh-level tunnel. He is extremely barren and claims to be invincible. Except for his belly button, his entire body is made of diamond steel and has no other weaknesses.

Finally, Xiao Jin Gang discovered his weakness on his belly button, pierced his belly button and caused him to die of degassing.

Little King Kong finally found the treasure bag and the King Kong sword. After destroying these two treasures, he killed his way to the green snake demon's cave.

The green snake spirit turned into a snake and fled in panic. Little King Kong dropped a huge rock and split her body in half.

However, the Green Snake Spirit returned to its demonic form and laughed, "Don't think you can beat me so easily, Calabash Brother. I can't be smashed or killed. I also have the ability to bring the dead back to life."

The green snake spirit turned into a huge two-headed snake, and the evil wind that came out of the snake's mouth made it a little difficult for Xiao Jin Gang to deal with.

But in the end, Xiao Jin Gang successfully got rid of the green snake demon.

As Little King Kong sang, he turned into seven gourd brothers. The seven gourd brothers worked together to suppress the green snake demon in the valley.

The seven gourd brothers merged into one again and turned into one gourd, suppressing the green snake demon at the foot of the mountain.

A colorful mountain once again stood among the clouds.

Only this time, the color of the mountain is different from before.

The previous mountain was made up of seven stones piled together, each with a different color.

This time the mountain is seven colors blended into one.

Yang Shujie sighed: "Does this mean that the Calabash Brothers are now truly united as brothers?"

However, no matter how many guesses he makes, they are just his personal interpretation as a viewer.

There have been so many discussions online, but Xu Ye, the screenwriter, has not come out to explain. It is obvious that he does not want to explain.

"Calabash Brothers" has been played in its entirety.

A lot of ideas popped up in Yang Shujie's mind. This animation gave him so much inspiration that he felt he could start writing the script that he had been stuck on.

He reviewed the plots and found that Little King Kong also had weaknesses.

He could no longer open his eyes when facing the evil wind spit out by the fairy. When facing the beauty, he might not be able to escape without someone's reminder.

There are so many implications in this animation that even if you watch it again, you will have a deeper understanding.

This is what we call a classic!

Yang Shujie picked up his phone and planned to see what everyone was talking about online.

He also has a Weibo account with millions of followers, where he also expresses his own opinions.

After opening Weibo, Yang Shujie refreshed it and happened to see Xu Ye’s Weibo.

"This is the Weibo post I just sent."

Yang Shujie looked at the text on Weibo.

The copywriting said, "Today I will cosplay Calabash Brothers for everyone."

When Yang Shujie thought about the clothes worn by Calabash Brothers, he thought that the clothes would be absolutely eye-catching in real life.

Xu Ye definitely has no good intentions in cosplaying this character.

But driven by curiosity, Yang Shujie still clicked on the video.

In the video, Xu Ye is standing in front of a white wall with a line of text on it.

"cos Liuwa".

Yang Shujie couldn't help but look forward to seeing Xu Ye put on his clothes, which must be very eye-catching.

However, when the countdown ended, there was nothing left in the picture except a white wall.

Yang Shujie was stunned.

"Where's Liu Wa? Aren't you cosplaying as Liu Wa?"

The next second he realized the problem.

"Liu Wa's skill is invisibility. Is Xu Ye invisible? This cosplay is too real! Even the invisibility is restored!"
