Looking at the two animation plans in his hands, which had actually been completed a long time ago but were only released today, even Mu Xuxing couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion at this moment.
Yes, it has already been completed.
In fact, as early as several years ago, when Muxuxing first came into contact with the system mall, he had read these two works from a parallel world, which were the culmination of youth comics. Privately, he had also considered countless times how to adapt these two comics if they were to be made into animations.
For example, "Naruto".
In Mu Suxing's opinion, since it is a shonen manga, it should naturally end in the style of a shonen manga. In this regard, the ending of the original "Naruto" seems a bit ironic - the young man who was full of vigor and fearlessness in the past, after growing up, eventually became a tired and vicissitudes uncle who bowed his head to reality.
For fans who grew up with this comic, this realistic knife-cutting is undoubtedly more painful than the death of a key character.
Having said that, Mu Xuxing has no intention of making any changes to the original work.
In his opinion, it is a good choice to freeze the final scene of the animation on the seal of reconciliation between Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. It starts with the first seal of reconciliation when they were children and ends with the final seal of reconciliation when they were teenagers. As for the years after that, it is up to the audience to imagine.
It's like a fairy tale.
Maybe there will be all kinds of twists and turns and difficulties in the process, but the ending should be "the prince and princess lived happily together". Why use the real married life of the prince and princess to discourage people
As for the rest of the plot, except for the inexplicable and meaningless death of Hyuga Neji near the end, Makusuki is not going to make any special changes, and everything will be based on the restoration of the original manga as the primary standard. Of course, forget about the sequel "Boruto", the protagonist of a boy's manga should always be a boy.
As for "One Piece".
Mu Suxing believes that the most important thing for the animation of "One Piece" should be to restore the plots and scenes in the comics. After all, the original comic author himself is an author who pays great attention to details. For the animation of "One Piece", as long as it can fully show the intentions and conscience of the original work, it will be the greatest success.
This is exactly what the animated version of "One Piece" in the other world did not do.
Fans of One Piece in the parallel world often complained that they wanted to read the original manga carefully with a magnifying glass, but they wanted to watch the animation at eight times the speed. Many details in the original manga were vividly described, but some of them were not noticed at all in the animation.
Seeing that Muxuxing finally brought out these two representative works of the other world, the system was also in a mixed mood: I thought that the host had forgotten the existence of these two comics. Otherwise, how could it be that after several years of the construction of Huaying Animation, it only remembered the adaptation of these two comics
Muxuxing laughed: "How is that possible?"
Anyone with a little appreciation would not miss such an excellent comic work. Mu Xuxing, a veteran in the animation industry, would naturally not do such a stupid thing.
In fact, it’s actually quite the opposite.
Over the years, in the short window period after each work of Huaying Animation was completed, Mu Suxing had also considered the idea of bringing "Naruto" and "One Piece" to TV. However, every time he picked up the pen and really considered the possibility of implementation, there was always a voice in his heart telling him:
It's not the right time yet.
It's not the right time yet.
There is no other reason, whether it is "Naruto" or "One Piece", these two works are too special.
It is undeniable that any of these two works, taken at random, can easily become the dominant animation in the Blue Star animation market, and perhaps in the decades of serialization, there will be no rivals. Their quality is beyond doubt. The problem from the beginning was not the animation itself, but the market environment.
The current environment of the Blue Star Animation market is actually a bit impetuous.
Compared to comics like "Naruto" and "One Piece" that use a long time and space to gradually outline the whole picture of a fantasy world, readers prefer fast-paced works that can frequently satisfy them in the shortest time. Animation production companies also prefer works that can show explosive data at the beginning of the launch.
In other words, compared with other animations, the beginning of "Naruto" and "One Piece" actually has no advantages.
This is also the reason why, even in the parallel world where "Naruto" and "One Piece" were born, it is difficult to produce a long-form comic work like this one.
Comics like "Naruto" and "One Piece" require not only good comic book authors, but also readers who can calm down, follow the story, and read patiently. Only such readers can truly appreciate the special charm of these two comics.
Mu Xiuxing was reluctant to produce these two milestone works in the comics industry too early.
Firstly, Huaying has limited human resources. Once they choose to adapt these two comics, it means that it will be difficult for them to spare other manpower to expand into other animation fields, which is obviously not conducive to the development of Huaying.
Secondly, it was due to Mu Xuxing’s personal selfishness.
All animation producers will inevitably have some obsession with their animation works. Mu Xiuxing's obsession lies in a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder that he himself finds difficult to explain -
For other works, it's fine. For works like "Naruto" and "One Piece", Mu Suxing secretly hopes that they can appear in front of people who like them at the best time, instead of being abandoned by countless viewers and readers because of the slow pace of the beginning of the plot under the influence of the fast food economy.
And now is the best opportunity that Muxuxing has been waiting for for a long time.
After these years of development, especially after the Sherlock Holmes series and the Harry Potter series became popular, Huaying Animation has undoubtedly become the synonym of quality in the hearts of all fans, passers-by and even haters. And this is often directly reflected in the audience's instinctive trust in Huaying's works.
in other words.
Although the pace of "Naruto" and "One Piece" is not that fast, and the beginning is not as interesting as previous works of Huaying, the audience will not simply judge that the animation is not good or choose to give up, but will watch it patiently because of their trust in Huaying.
Because they know that Huaying's works will never really let them down. And all they have to do is just believe in Huaying and watch it patiently and seriously.
Only in this environment can the charm of "Naruto" and "One Piece" be brought to its fullest on Blue Star.
While Mu Suxing was thinking for a while, the other people in the conference room stopped talking nonsense and chose one between "Naruto" and "One Piece" and started reading it with relish.
The animation project that Fang Lian chose was "Naruto".
As one of the senior executives of Huaying, Fang Lian has been with Mu Suxing for so long that he has naturally acquired a considerable degree of judgment on various animation projects on the market. Therefore, when he opened the project and read it for a while, his eyes lit up and he blurted out, "The battle setting of this ninja is very interesting!"
What are the most basic things for a boys' manga - or more precisely, for a fighting boys' manga
Some say it is the character design, some say it is the plot, and some say it is the growth and changes of the protagonist and the setting of the worldview. But for the experienced animators in the conference room, there is only one answer to this question, and that is the battle system in the comics that has enough construction and imagination!
For example, chakra as energy in "Naruto", and the ninjutsu, physical techniques and illusions used by ninjas.
For example, the extremely imaginative devil fruit in "One Piece".
For example, the Zanpakuto setting in "Bleach" and the unique Nen ability system in "Hunter x Hunter".
A hot-blooded boys' comic with a novel and imaginative combat system and system settings may not necessarily become the best among combat boys' comics, but the top ones in the combat boys' comics mostly have unique combat system settings.
Because for combat boys' comics that target male readers as their original market, if they want to attract basic readers, the combat power setting is the most basic premise.
As if echoing Fang Lian's behavior, Wen Feihang on the other side stared at the "One Piece" animation plan in front of him, and said without raising his head: "Oh, what a coincidence, the battle system setting of "One Piece" here is also very interesting."
Fang Lian was so engrossed in his copy of Naruto that he couldn't spare the time to read One Piece. Hearing this, he said without a second thought, "Tsk, my copy of Naruto has detailed instructions for each ninjutsu's hand seals. Do you have any?"
Wen Feihang sneered, "So what? My devil fruit can be used in various ways according to the user's ideas. Can you do the same? Did you know that the String-String Fruit can not only strangle opponents with faint threads in the air, but can also remotely control others and even tie the threads to the clouds to fly in the air?"
Fang Lian glared at him.
Wen Feihang glared back, not willing to be outdone.
"The Straw Hat Pirates are willing to go against the World Government for Robin. Do you have such a touching friendship?"
Fang Lian was very disdainful: "Ha, if you want to talk about this, then I won't be sleepy anymore. Did you know that Naruto knelt down and got beaten for Sasuke and suffered from hyperventilation? Did you know that he would rather give up the dream of being a Hokage and bear Sasuke's hatred and resentment, and was willing to die with him to achieve reconciliation in another world?"
Muxiuxing:
That's not necessary.
Although we've known for a long time that it would be difficult for fans who like "Naruto" and "One Piece" respectively not to praise one and step on the other, and to fight against each other openly or secretly, but aren't you acting a little too quickly
The two people over there went from being unwilling to be outdone to finding loopholes for each other. For example, Wen Feihang, who supports "One Piece", took a look at "Naruto" and immediately announced proudly: "After listening to you bragging for so long, I thought Naruto was so strong, but isn't he just a laggard? Then I declare that Luffy wins."
"?" Fang Lian glared, "This is a shonen manga! A shonen manga! Naruto still has room to grow, and the two of them are of different ages, how can we compare?"
really.
Makusuho thought back to the later period of Naruto and One Piece.
If you must ask who is stronger between Uzumaki Naruto and Monkey-D-Luffy, strictly speaking, Uzumaki Naruto is better. After all, although Luffy is abnormal, he is still within the scope of the comics itself, while Naruto's combat power, in the later period, can only be described as a bug.
Well, I’m getting off topic.
Mu Suxing coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment of being almost dragged into this by Fang Lian and Wen Feihang. He raised his index finger, tapped the table, and said unhappily, "I say, you two, that's enough. If others didn't know about this, they would probably think that the other one is actually the work of another company, and we are just praising one and criticizing the other."
Fang Lian and Wen Feihang on this side were stunned for a while, and when they looked at the other party who were originally fighting with each other, they burst out laughing and almost burst out laughing on the spot.
“We don’t need to use the rainbow fart process this time, right?” Dai Yuyan raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile: “Even we ourselves are addicted to it. We really like it so much that we want to crush the other one to the ground. When these two animations are released together, I think the audience and fans will be even more addicted.”
Muxuxing also smiled.
Isn’t it
Indeed, it is very boring and meaningless to rank these two excellent works and to criticize one and praise the other.
But from another perspective, the behavior of the two also reflects the unique charm of the two works - it is precisely because they themselves are attractive enough to the audience's love that Fang Lian and Wen Feihang, both animators, could not help but "turn against each other" and fight on the spot for the best work in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Mu Suxing felt both angry and amused.
He suddenly had a strange premonition.
If he guessed correctly, the fans of Naruto Animation, who have been united and consistent from the establishment of Naruto Animation to the present, will probably be crazy about these two animations this time, and then split into two distinct "factions" of "Naruto" and "One Piece", and fight each other every now and then.
I don’t know why, but when I thought about the scene where Huaying’s left and right hands might compete with each other in the future, Mu Xuxing was actually a little looking forward to it.
