Chapter 447 Original Animation

The so-called original animation is relative to "adapted animation".

Original animation does not have the "original work" of other media forms on which the adapted animation relies, such as manga adapted animation, game adapted animation, light novel adapted animation, etc.

Since adapted animations can rely on the accumulated popularity of the original work to earn ratings, the operational risks are much lower than those of original animations, so they are favored by producers compared to original animations.

Although original animation is not bound by the original work and allows producers to use their imagination and creativity, the operational risks are much higher than adapted animation.

So when Acan proposed that he wanted to make original animation, Li Wannian could certainly understand why the other party wanted to do this?

After all, Li Wannian can now spend huge sums of money to produce original animated films, so it shouldn't be difficult to make an original TV animation with relatively low risk and low cost!

"What are your current thoughts on original animation?"

"Well, there are several ideas for this, but they are not very mature. After all, no employees in the company can do it without your permission!"

Acan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Wannian couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

Compared with Lu Ziying, who is well prepared, Achan is obviously more immature. Of course, it may be because he has not been a general manager for a long time and lacks experience.

In the workplace, when you have to make a report to your boss or leader, you must prepare the report fully before presenting it to the leader. Otherwise, the leader will think that your ideas are not comprehensive enough and you are not able to take on a big responsibility.

Of course, as for Acan, Li Wannian also knew in his heart that Acan was a person who was temporarily pushed to the shelf. His rise to the top was a complete coincidence. Who made Cai Zhizhong give up the job halfway?

But then again, despite Acan's limited abilities, he was still able to keenly detect the changes in Li Wannian's thinking, and sought opportunities to come to him in order to make a breakthrough, which also showed that he was not hopeless.

"What are those ideas?"

Li Wannian did not get entangled with Acan, but asked directly.

"One is naturally martial arts animation. We plan to find a screenwriter from Qilin Entertainment to write a martial arts script together. It shouldn't be bad, and martial arts animations are still relatively rare in Hong Kong Island;

The other is a funny animation. I have talked with your assistant Gan Xiaowen before and we can create it together;

Finally, there is a science fiction theme. We have experience in creating "Gundam" before, and the animation is very popular among the audience. We can take the opportunity to make another one! "

After listening to Acan's explanation, Li Wannian felt as if a string in his mind was plucked!

"Science fiction?"

Li Wannian muttered to himself as if he was deep in thought.

"That's right, boss. Although we haven't accumulated much experience over the years, Hong Kong Island has always been relatively weak in science fiction. As long as we can make it, we will definitely succeed!"

In Acan's view, as long as he can make this animation, he can't say he will make a lot of money, but at least he will not lose money.

It's not that he has confidence in himself, but that he has confidence in his peers. This kind of thing depends entirely on the support of his peers!

“Is science fiction relatively weak?”

Li Wannian repeated again.

"boss?"

At this time, even if Acan stayed still, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Li Wannian.

"Oh, it's okay, I just thought of a good idea! This time, the original animation will be science fiction, and I will be the screenwriter!"

"Oh, okay! Huh? You agree?" Ah Can almost didn't react. Did the boss agree?

Wait, the boss still wants to be a screenwriter?

Acan suddenly felt happiness falling from the sky and hitting his head.

Is there such a good thing?

"Of course, because of your reminder, I got a good idea. By the way, Ah Can, can you help me find some religious books?"

"Religious? Isn't it... a science fiction theme?"

Acan was stunned again.

"That's right, a genuine science fiction animation!"

The reason why Li Wannian is so confident is because he wants to copy... The animation he is borrowing from is the legendary movie "Neon Genesis Evangelion", or EVA for short.

这部动画是由GAINAX、龙之子工作室共同制作的，于1995年10月4日-1996年3月27日在霓虹东京电视台首播，总共也就26集。

Although when Li Wannian watched it for the first time when he was a child, none of us could understand it, and even felt that the animation was a bit boring. But as he grew up and watched it again, he kept shouting "fuck" and felt that he almost missed this movie. Good anime!

There are three main reasons why this animation is a masterpiece.

One is that his plot and worldview are fascinating "conspiracy theory" imaginations.

From the origin of mankind, to reasonable imagination of the future, and the fate of mankind, it can touch the excitement of the audience!

Secondly, the character setting is extremely groundbreaking.

The character settings in the animation have contributed to many classic characters, and they are still talked about by fans to this day, especially the two popular characters of Ling Boli and Asuka, who are the ancestors of Sanwu and Tsundere, and have become A female character commonly used in later generations of neon anime.

Thirdly, the theme expresses absolute authorship and criticism of the times.

The real theme of "EVA" is to give the audience pieces to assemble, allowing everyone to complete the correct puzzle in their own minds.

This is what fascinates Li Wannian the most, especially because it contains rich religious thoughts. Even if Li Wannian has never read the Bible, he can still see some clues from it.

For example, the word apostle generally refers to the 12 disciples who were originally selected by Jesus Christ and given the missionary mission.

For example, the Seele organization is German and means "soul". The seven eyes in their logo are from the Lamb of Apocalypse in the Bible.

In addition, this organization is also mirroring the Freemasonry. The most obvious evidence is the surname of the protagonist and his father.

The male protagonist's name is Shinji Ikari. When taken apart, "Ikari" is the word "Shiding", which means the stonemason's rules. This thing is a square ruler, and the protagonist's father's surname is Sextant. The square ruler plus sextant is Freemasonry symbol.

There is a letter G in the Masonic symbol, which means God, and the child Shinji of the square and the sextant. These two words are "ShinJi" in neon language, which means the son of God.

In short, throughout the entire animation, knowledge about such religions abounds. Although Li Wannian remembers every detail of the animation, he cannot understand every part of it, so he needs to find religious books and read them carefully.

However, in this way, it seems that I have found myself another big project!

Damn it, my workload has increased again!
