Chapter 751: Painting a Tiger’s Skin Is Difficult to Paint Its Bones (Please Subscribe)

The conclusion of the first season of the "Dragon Ball" animation is a big event for the entire animation circle.

Why?

Because "Dragon Ball" is so intimidating, since the animation was launched, it has firmly occupied the top spot in the hot-blooded battle series, eclipsing other similar animations.

More abstractly, "Dragon Ball" is a weekly animation, and the total number of episodes exceeds one hundred...

This also means that in the past two years since the "Dragon Ball" animation was broadcast, the hot-blooded battle series has been completely in a "one-family-dominated" situation. Young audiences who like this type of subject are almost monopolized by "Dragon Ball".

This is especially true in Neon.

In other regions, Dragon Ball's dominance is not that strong, and at least two or three passionate battle-themed animations can be seen occasionally.

But in Neon, Dragon Ball is the hot-blooded battle series, and the hot-blooded battle series is Dragon Ball. The two are almost equal.

For quite a long time, the neon animation industry did not dare to engage in passionate battle themes at all, and only dared to engage in themes such as other worlds, school idols, and harem love.

Of course, those days are over.

As soon as the news of the completion of the "Dragon Ball" animation came out, someone soon broke the news that in May and June of this year, there will be many hot-blooded battle series to be broadcast one after another.

It’s obviously been planned for a long time!

When "Dragon Ball" was king and hegemonic, these people didn't dare to come forward for fear of becoming cannon fodder. Now that Dragon Ball has just finished, I can’t wait to jump out and seize the popularity and market of the same genre.

As far as Gu Miao knows...

Among the many neon animations announced to be broadcast in May and June, at least three animations have very obvious "Dragon Ball" characteristics, which is commonly known as following the trend.

Not to mention, it’s quite interesting.

In a certain follow-up work, Gu Miao saw brave men from another world setting off on adventures around the world to collect the "colorful stones" left by the God of Creation.

In the setting, as long as seven colorful stones symbolizing different virtues are collected, the goddess of creation can be summoned to realize all wishes.

Not only that.

In this different world where swords and magic are prevalent, a "Battle of the Strong" is held every few years to determine the strongest swordsman and the strongest magician in the world...

Neon, an ordinary office worker, was reincarnated as the cub of the Dragon of the End of the World. Due to the intrusion of human adventurers, he accidentally wandered into the human world and was adopted by an old couple.

Because no one knew his life experience, he immediately embarked on the road of collecting colorful stones, hoping that the God of Creation would tell him who his biological parents were...

Take a look!

This plot and setting are no longer covertly following the trend. I am telling everyone openly that I am paying tribute to "Dragon Ball". Why don't you just say you don't want to watch it?

There are many similar examples.

Dragon Ball’s classic settings such as “Collect Wishes” and “The World’s Best Budokai”, as well as unique skills such as “Turtle Style Qigong”, have all received crazy tributes from peers.

"They don't think that "Dragon Ball" became popular because of these settings, right?" Ma Kui asked in confusion during the discussion.

Isn’t this just a disease?

"Dragon Ball" did attract audiences with its novel background settings in the early stage, but the real reason for its popularity has little to do with these. The essence is the fighting portrayal!

"Who knows?"

Gu Miao shook her head and said: "Perhaps they also know that the real attraction of "Dragon Ball" is the fighting depiction, but this thing is not that easy to imitate, so let's start with a simple background setting!"

This is not unreasonable.

Anyone who is not blind knows the essence and charm of "Dragon Ball", but here comes the problem...

Is the unique fighting design and portrayal really so easy to imitate or even surpass?

Stop it!

There is a reason why the original "Dragon Ball" has been popular for so many years and reached a height that similar competing products cannot reach. If it were so easy to imitate and surpass, how could "Dragon Ball" be as popular as it has been for decades?

Painting a tiger's skin is difficult to paint its bones.

It is easy to imitate the setting of "Dragon Ball", and it is also easy to imitate the story of "Dragon Ball", but it is very difficult to imitate the fighting spirit of "Dragon Ball".

"Ignore them."

"It would be great if any of these similar animations that follow the trend can imitate 20% of the charm of "Dragon Ball"." Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said.

20% of the charm is exaggerated.

Maybe these following trends will end up being a rip-off, under the guise of paying homage to "Dragon Ball", but without any hint of "Dragon Ball charm".

Drawing a tiger cannot be compared to a dog. Perhaps this is the final outcome of those who follow the trend.

"makes sense……"

Ma Kui is also not optimistic about the follow-up works launched by these neon friends. The audience's hope for the second "Dragon Ball" will probably be in vain.

"But then again."

"Although it is difficult to create a second "Dragon Ball", a second "Little Master of China" can be created."

Ma Kui grinned and said: "Mr. Gu, Hou Bin asked me to ask you if you can help him become addicted to gourmet cooking?"

"oh?"

After hearing this, Gu Miao couldn't help but ask: "Does he want to take over the production of the second season of "The Little Master of China"? No problem! Just tell him, I have no objection."

"no no……"

Ma Kui waved his hands repeatedly, denying Gu Miao's speculation and explained: "What he means is that he also wants to make an original animation with food as the theme."

"Ah ha? Food theme?" Gu Miao asked curiously, "Why is Hou Bin suddenly interested in this theme?"

"How do I know what he thinks? Anyway, he has this idea and even came up with a plan. Please let me know what you think."

"I don't have any opinion."

Gu Miao frowned and said, "I have to ask him to show me the plan to confirm whether it's okay or not. I haven't even looked at the plan, so how can I give a judgment and answer?"

"Then I'll call him over..."

After Ma Kui finished speaking, he quickly went out and called Hou Bin and asked him to bring the project to Mr. Gu for an interview.

Hou Bin was also very happy. After learning that Mr. Gu was free now, he immediately said that he would arrive at the company within 30 minutes at the latest while shopping in the mall.

"He'll be here soon."

"Okay, tell him to hurry up. I have to catch a plane to Shonan to participate in the first round of negotiations for the "Bear Bears" animation..."

Gu Miao raised her wrist and looked at the time. He really didn't have time to wait too long. If he still couldn't see Hou Bin in an hour, he would have to wait until he came back from southern Hunan.

"Don't worry, he said he'll be at the company in half an hour." Ma Kui smiled, and then said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Go and do your work...wait a minute!"

Gu Miao suddenly thought of something in the middle of her words, and asked Ma Kui, who had already half-stepped out of the office: "Did he tell you what the name of this food show is?"

"Master Chef Xiao Fugui!"
