Chapter 587 Visual Impact and Emotional Arousal (Please Subscribe)
The premiere of the first two episodes of the animated "Detective Conan" was like a depth bomb, which quickly shocked the entire Chinese comic circle.
Do not misunderstand!
The reason why everyone is shocked is not because of the brilliant and outstanding results achieved by "Detective Conan" in its premiere.
In fact.
The ratings of the Conan anime are high, but not so high as expected. Although the popularity and discussion are also very high, they are within the acceptable range.
What really surprises everyone, and can even be said to be a big surprise, is actually the theme type of the animation "Detective Conan"...
Yes, type!
Mystery detective animation, this is the key to attracting much attention in the industry after the animation "Detective Conan" was broadcast and became a hit.
This is incredible!
There is no shortage of popular Chinese comics, and there is also no shortage of phenomenal animation works. But so far, the vast majority of popular and phenomenal Chinese comics are all about fighting and comedy.
This has become a routine.
If you want to achieve results, especially if you want to achieve explosive and phenomenal results, you must either take the road of fighting or the road of comedy.
There is no third option!
Even the previous "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and "Pokémon" also had the light of "battle adventure".
As for anime such as "That Year of the Rabbit" and "Afanti's Story", which seem to be incompatible with each other, they are actually half funny...
This is no joke!
The facts are before our eyes. If Chinese comics want to achieve success, they must have something to do with "fighting" or "funny" elements. The probability of getting results for an animation that doesn’t stick to both sides is about zero!
But now, the most incredible thing happened...
There is no fighting and no comedy.
An animation that purely relies on reasoning about cases to promote the development of the plot has become popular! And judging from the ratings of the premiere, it has the potential to be a "hit".
Why is this?
Everyone was puzzled. They couldn't figure out whether the current audience's taste had changed again?
…
"Audience tastes haven't changed."
"It's just that everyone has made a mistake, that is, the animation that is easy to achieve results is not the fighting and comedy series, but the visual impact and emotional stimulation types."
The next morning, Gu Miao, who was asking Ma Kui to analyze the key to the success of "Detective Conan", put forward a very unique opinion.
Visual impact & emotional stimulation!
In Gu Miao's opinion...
The reason why "Detective Conan" is so popular and loved by so many viewers is that the principle is the same as "comedy show".
Why are fighting movies so easy to produce hits?
Because of the visual impact!
If there are fighting elements, there must be fighting scenes, and intense and passionate fighting scenes will definitely stimulate the audience's senses, so hits are frequent.
And funny episodes are meant to arouse emotions.
By constantly creating laughter, the audience's emotions can continue to fluctuate as the plot develops while watching the animation. This is also the reason for frequent hits.
What is "Detective Conan"?
There are no combat elements with strong visual impact, and there are no endless laughter. It seems to be completely different from these two types of animations.
But in fact, "Detective Conan" also belongs to the "emotional stimulation" type of anime!
It's just that compared to the relatively simple and crude emotional mobilization techniques of comedy shows, Conan anime's emotional mobilization is more clever.
First, the opening "homicide/kidnapping case" creates suspense and arouses the audience's curiosity.
Later, through the careful reasoning of the protagonist Conan, the origin of the case was restored like a cocoon, giving everyone a feeling of "sudden realization".
During this process……
The audience's emotions fluctuated greatly!
From the expectations, doubts and wonders at the beginning of the case, to the thinking, guessing and epiphany during the reasoning, to the shock that "the murderer is actually him" at the end of the reasoning, the emotions can be said to be ups and downs.
As a detective mystery anime, "Detective Conan" has successfully stirred the emotions of the audience, so there is no reason for it to fail.
certainly!
This is mostly due to the original work.
The biggest praise fans can give to an animated adaptation is the "kowtow to the original" joke.
The so-called kowtow-to-the-original meme refers to the fact that after some anime adaptations of comics and light novels are broadcast, due to their popularity, their performance quality far exceeds that of the original works. Netizens have joked that the original authors should kowtow to the animation production team.
In Gu Miao's opinion, the animation production team of "Detective Conan" should kowtow to the original author to show their gratitude.
"I generally understand."
"Whether it is a daily comedy show or a suspense mystery show, they are all animations that stimulate emotions."
After Ma Kui thought for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "This is an interesting statement. If it is classified in this way, our "Prince of Tennis" can also be considered an emotion-stimulating animation?"
"Not really!"
Gu Miao suppressed a smile and explained: "Actually, in my opinion, "The Prince of Tennis" should be classified into the same category as those passionate battles, that is, the visual impact category."
Ma Kui: "???"
At first, before his mind could wrap his head around it, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Until he suddenly remembered that he had complained about the "fantasy killing skills" more than once in the planning seminar, and he suddenly understood.
Sigh!
Does this seem to be the case?
Tennis has been beaten like this by these middle school students. It doesn't seem to be a big problem to say that "The Prince of Tennis" is a passionate battle series that specializes in visual and sensory stimulation.
only……
Wouldn't it be a bit too dramatic if a "hot-blooded/combat" label was attached to a good sports and competition anime?
"Ahem!"
Gu Miao picked up the water glass and was about to drink water. When she heard this, she almost choked on her saliva and coughed several times.
"Are you stupid?"
"I just said it casually, are you really going to do it as a passionate battle?"
Although it is not impossible to do so. But, the most critical part of "Prince of Tennis" is not the competition or winning or losing...
It’s a story of youth and struggle!
The most exciting part of "The Prince of Tennis" revolves around the process of these talented young men such as Zhong Guoguang, Ryoma, and Zhou Zuke, who got to know each other because of tennis and decided to chase the championship together and become the strongest tennis players.
It is no exaggeration to say that King of Nets is a sports competition show that values the process and despises the results.
Of course the final championship is very important!
But to be honest, even if Qingxue did not win Rikkai University in the end and did not win the national championship, would the audience like Qingxue less?
Won't!
What height Qingxue reaches in the end will not affect the audience's love for Qingxue at all.
If you don’t believe it, look at Keigo Atobe…
Let’s leave aside the subsequent U17 and World Cup chapters and just talk about the plot before the national competition. Atobe and the Hyokui led by him actually often lose games, so they can just serve as background.
But does this affect the popularity of Mr. Atobe, who has always been at the top of the Net King's list of all characters?
