Meng Huo's bad poker skills seemed to surprise the others.

But what surprised them was not that Meng Huo could make mahjong animations but was not good at playing mahjong, that being able to write detective comics might not necessarily solve a case, that being able to write basketball might not necessarily be able to play basketball, after all, there was still a gap between knowledge and practice.

However, they were surprised by another aspect - that is, Teacher He Xi, who has always been "omniscient and omnipotent", has something that he is not good at, which makes them as strange as discovering a new world.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I didn't expect you, Mr. He Xi, to have something you are not good at."

Tomato became more and more excited, and he insisted on pestering Meng Huo to play mahjong. This kind of opportunity was rare, so Meng Huo had to sit down—in fact, in his opinion, the factor of luck in mahjong is greater than the factor of skill. There is always bad luck on the table.

Not only Tomato, but other assistants also seem to be particularly interested in things that Meng Huo is not good at. They teamed up to frame Meng Huo at the poker table, causing Meng Huo to lose in a mess. They didn't stop until the animation was about to be broadcast.

"You guys have a grudge against me, right?" Meng Huo asked with a smile after the game was over.

"No enmity.", "It's just fun!"

The assistants said with satisfaction that they had no worries or complaints towards Meng Huo, but after working behind Meng Huo for several years, there were not many opportunities to beat him, so they naturally didn't want to miss it.

In the evening, Li Qin and Hua Meng went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, while the rest sat by the TV, waiting for the animation to air.

"Teacher, can you tell me how this animation was made?"

Wang Yanmeng is very interested in the production process of "Genius Mahjong Girl". Recently, she helped to produce the animation of "One Piece" with her, which is a completely different experience from drawing comics. She is curious to know if other animation studios are working like One Piece.

In fact. The production process of each animation is basically the same. But every animation studio is different. Meng Huo told her about the work of Huiyue Studio he saw in Yangzhou. Compared with the "One Piece" studio dominated by angels, Huiyue Studio has a special cultural atmosphere.

In addition to telling about Huiyue Studio, Meng Huo also introduced the world background of "Genius Mahjong Girl" by the way.

The story of "Genius Mahjong Girl" takes place in a world similar to Earth. Mahjong in this world is a popular competitive sport, just like football or basketball in this world. There are hundreds of millions of mahjong players in that world. The event is held.

Each country also has different mahjong contestants. Including the bi-annual National Mahjong Competition and Youth Competition and so on. Even among teenagers, from elementary school to high school, almost every school has a mahjong department—and the painting "Genius Mahjong Girl" tells about the mahjong competition among high school students.

"This setting is very interesting, but teacher... why don't you set it like this in "Soul of Chess"?"

After listening to it, Wang Yanmeng's first reaction was to wonder why Meng Huo didn't use this setting in "Soul of Chess". The status of Go in "Soul of Chess" is a general competition. This kind of quintessential competition in China will definitely give people a very different feeling.

"That's right, if "Soul of Chess" is also set up like this, it must be very cool!"

Tomato agrees. Think about the plot of "Soul of Chess", if Go is also a world-renowned competitive event in comics. The protagonist Xiaoguang's every move and every achievement can be described more clearly, and readers will look more refreshed.

""Soul of Chess" doesn't need to do this, Go already has professional Go."

Meng Huo said that the background setting of "Genius Mahjong Girl" is mainly to improve the real feeling of the "mahjong game" in the animation. If the status is not improved, the audience will naturally wonder why there are so many mahjong teams and games. This is obviously unscientific.

Moreover, professional mahjong players are required to appear in the animation, and the judges of the competition must have identities-however, if these are copied from the real situation, it is obviously impossible to do so.

Although mahjong is very popular in reality, it is not considered a high-end sport. It has no status. Apart from gambling, other events are quite rare, and professional mahjong players are even less known.

However, there is no need to worry about such things in Go. In any case, professional players still exist, and ready-made templates can be found for competitions, so there is no need to worry about the sense of substitution.

"...The teacher means that there is no other reason, but the animation must be set in this way?" Wang Yanmeng asked.

Meng Huo nodded. Without these settings, the plot of "Genius Mahjong Girl" would be full of loopholes. The setting is only to help the development of the plot, and has no other purpose.

Tomato is a little regretful: "It's a pity, I thought this animation would become a masterpiece like "Soul of Chess", but after hearing what you said, "Genius Mahjong Girl" should be just an ordinary animation."

"Although it's not a masterpiece, it can't be said to be ordinary." Meng Huo smiled: "I have high expectations for it. If possible, I would like to turn it into a series of animations."

"A series of animations? Isn't this the same as "Shakugan no Shana"?"

"It can be said... well, the animation is about to start..."

Meng Huo saw that the advertisement on the TV was already counting down, so he put away the chat and turned his attention to the TV.

Tomato and the others followed suit. Before the animation started, several assistants were thinking about what Meng Huo had just said. Is "Genius Mahjong Girl" really worth his expectation? The theme of mahjong has not been tempered by the popularity of comics. How big is the market for it?

There are more animations now, so there are more choices. There are still many popular animations on the air during the broadcast of "Genius Mahjong Girl", among which is He Xi's own animation-so many choices, how can ordinary audiences respond? Interested in a mahjong animation?

Moreover, although "Genius Mahjong Girl" is also produced by He Xi in name, he is responsible for the script and music, but after all, Huiyue Studio wrote it. It's hard to say how far they can do it. Tomato and the others are a little worried.

However, the scene at the beginning of the animation did not disappoint them. This is the scene where the two girls meet for the first time. The time is summer. The meeting place seems to be in the wild. A girl was sitting on the lawn reading a book, and another girl walked past her.

"This person... so beautiful..."

The girl sitting on the lawn looked back at the girl walking past. Her dubbing was also very good. Tomato felt at ease. At least from the picture and dubbing, the standard of this animation is not low.

"Which one is the heroine?" Wang Yanmeng obviously didn't read the introduction in advance, she asked curiously: "Is it the beautiful one or the ordinary one?"

"normal."

Meng Huo replied that the girl reading the book was plain in appearance. But she is the No. 1 heroine of "Genius Mahjong Girl", and the beautiful girl walking past is the No. 2 heroine.

However, the scene of this encounter is actually different from the original animation. The original scene is a bit like a gorgeous feeling of spring. He uses a scene design that is more inclined to comics.

But it didn't matter. The assistants around him didn't say anything bad, and Wang Yanmeng looked at it quietly after getting the answer.

There was no title song at the beginning of "Genius Mahjong Girl". The progress of this episode of animation was much faster than Tomato and the others imagined. After the first meeting, not long after, the heroine was invited by a friend to play cards in the mahjong club. The number two girl who appeared at the beginning was a member of the school's mahjong club, and she was the champion in the individual group of the national junior high school mahjong competition.

"Champion?" Seeing this scene. Tomato was surprised: "I said teacher, isn't it too early for the champion to appear in the first episode?"

"You'll know if you read it quietly." Meng Huo didn't answer.

The heroine played cards with people from the mahjong department, and she lost in the end—but she lost strangely, and her scores were plus or minus 0 a few times. After she left, the head of the mahjong department suspected that she was stronger than the second female number. This score was intentionally maintained.

The second female number chased her out to get the truth, and the result was just as the minister said, but the heroine said to her "I don't like mahjong", which made her very unwilling...

Then the next day, the mahjong minister lured the heroine to play cards in the mahjong department with the excuse of borrowing books, and also made some score changes. As long as the heroine reaches plus or minus 0, her conjecture can be fully proved.

Several other girls at the mahjong table wanted to suppress the heroine and prevent her from reaching plus or minus 0, but after a tense match, the heroine still achieved the goal with a miraculous flowering on the mountain.

At the same time as she won, the ending song of the cartoon also sounded.

Watching the opening song, Tomato was stunned—"Okay, so passionate!" He stood up: "The round just now was too passionate! Teacher He Xi, you want to make this animation into a competitive animation?"

He was surprised, quite surprised, the plot of the first episode of the animation was compact and interesting, but what surprised him was not the plot, but the tension and passion created by the animation when it told about the mahjong game.

This is a kind of enthusiasm that you can't feel without watching the animation. It is completely created by technology. Through the psychological changes of every bystander and player in Mahjong, it highlights how miraculous the heroine's final victory is—— This mode is exactly the same as in "Soul of Chess".

"It's unbelievable, mahjong can be so passionate..." He couldn't help admiring, the animation style at the beginning was very good, but almost all the pictures of female characters made him feel a breath of lily animation, he just felt this It may be a minority, but the feeling of playing mahjong is different.

Although he can play mahjong, due to space limitations, this episode of animation did not describe the process of these games in detail, so when he watched the heroine's games, he didn't understand a large part of them.

However, even if he didn't understand it, he could know the changes in the mahjong situation through the character dialogue and narration in the animation. This should not be just him, but every audience who watched this episode of animation.

"Just like "Soul of Chess", this animation can be used for learning."

I think of the same manga as Tomato. In fact, Wang Yanmeng also thinks of "Soul of Chess", because "Soul of Chess" is also the same model. By describing the psychology and dialogue of bystanders, it can make people who don't know Go understand the game This is the secret of its success.

"Go" became a template for many competitive comics after it was serialized, and the editorial department even extracted its materials, which has become the material that almost everyone who plans to draw competitive comics must learn, but so far, there is no People can surpass He Xi in this respect.

I didn't expect that the same technology was put in the animation, and it was more passionate than the comics. Maybe it can be used as another learning object, and some skills can be put in the animation of "One Piece".

I have already started thinking about "One Piece", although the animation of "One Piece" is more passionate, but the elements in "Genius Mahjong Girl" can indeed find some useful.

At the same time, he also believed what Meng Huo said before the animation started, and it was not without reason that he had expectations for "Genius Mahjong Girl". The ambition of this animation is not small. If it is a niche animation, it will only be seen by people who play mahjong. Why spend so much effort on making it - I believe Meng Huo must have spent a lot of energy preparing these animation skills .

The target audience for "Girl Mahjong Genius" is evident in this episode, and it clearly includes people who don't play mahjong. Although the painting style looks like a girl animation, it is probably a layer of skin. It is a competitive animation, passionate and exciting.

"I do have the idea of ​​making it into a competitive animation."

At this time, Meng Huo's answer to Tomato also proved his conjecture that he was indeed developing "Genius Mahjong Girl" into a competitive animation-but this should not be surprising, because Meng Huo's plan was like this from the beginning.

His plan is very simple. If the first season of "Genius Mahjong Girl" can reach a standard, he will then ask Huiyue Studio to produce the second and third seasons, and directly turn it into a feature-length novel. If it does not meet expectations, he will Just like the original book, a new season will be released every few years.

Meng Huo's plan surprised them. No one thought that "Genius Mahjong Girl" would have the possibility of becoming a feature-length feature. In their perception, feature-length animations are quite powerful animations—now they can be made into full-length features. Both are super popular animations.

In particular, He Xi's long-form animation has become a gold-lettered signboard. Even if an animation has his name written on it, if it is not very popular, Phoenix Company will not make it a long-form animation-Xu Jing and the others think that this cannot be destroyed. Shop sign.

It is conceivable that Meng Huo's expectations for "Genius Mahjong Girl" are quite high, and Phoenix Company will definitely have a high standard for judging it. Shana" is still popular, so it is definitely not eligible for a long series.

But can it be more popular than these two animations?

Tomato and both have doubts. "Genius Mahjong Girl" is fine, but this episode doesn't feel particularly good to them. On the contrary, the beginning of the two animations is particularly good. (To be continued.)
