One Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Eight Cartoon Image

Josie-Norris stared intently at Renly, his bold and direct eyes gradually began to fire, listening to Renly's words so intently that his attention began to "wander" - completely forgetting Serious work, just single-mindedly capturing Renly's every move.

Those eyes were really too hot, and the expression was really too cheering. To feel it up close and personal, Renly couldn't resist, "I made a special trip to visit the 'Super Marines' crew today..." Renly could only take the initiative. He immediately mentioned his intention, paused for a moment, and waited for Josie's answer.

But he didn't expect that Josie just stared at him earnestly, nodded again and again, but there was no response, which was also a bit of a headache, so he could only continue to say, "I didn't make an appointment, I just communicated with the crew in advance to understand the situation and said that they had a whole Heaven will be here." Josie still didn't respond, and Renly could only meet Josie's line of sight and communicate with her eyes.

Josie took a full half a beat before he could react, "Oh, yes, yes yes yes." But it was just a conditioned response. After speaking, he was stunned for a while, as if he thought about it carefully. Only once did he really come back to his senses, "Yes! 'Super Marines', you are about to dub this work." After speaking, he realized that Renly was standing in front of him, and quickly smiled, "My It means, did you make a special trip to dub today? No problem, of course no problem!"

Then, Josie lowered her head and started busy, placing everything on the table in the same way.

"This is the visit list, you need to sign it here. This is your access card. And then... the 'Super Marines' crew is at 2111 at this time, take the elevator to the twenty-first floor, and you can see it. Room The sign of the crew will be hung at the door, so don’t worry about finding the wrong place.”

The long ramblings were finished, but Renly didn't answer.

Josie raised her head slowly, then saw the smile on the corner of Renly's mouth, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "Sign up? Are you sure?"

Although it is already 2014, some companies still maintain the habit of registering by hand, while some companies use computers to complete the registration, which is not surprising; The time is also three years ago, so this is not quite right?

"..." Josh opened his mouth and tried to defend himself, but under Renly's gaze, he finally lost, "I hope you can help me sign, but I'm working now, it's not convenient ." His eyes raised quietly, indicating the direction of the ceiling, the subtext was that the monitor was recording their every move.

Just when Josie thought that Renly would continue to investigate, or simply refuse, Renly didn't say much, and lowered his head and wrote his name on the so-called visit registration form.

After that, Renly handed the registration form to the staff in front of him, took his access card, smiled and nodded, then turned and walked in in the direction of the elevator.

Josie leaned over from the front desk and watched Renly's back as she left, until she was out of sight, then she looked away, picked up the registration form and glanced.

"To Josh, Renly Hall."

A simple line of words made Josie want to scream - she didn't introduce herself to Renly, but Renly noticed her badge and wrote her name, such a small The details are enough to make Josie happy all day, but now she has to pretend nothing happened, straighten her back, and slowly put away the registration form, still sitting calmly at the front desk. , immersed in his own world, slowly reminiscing.

...

Renly stopped at the door of the studio, and looked at the poster next to the door seriously, as if he was in no hurry to enter the room.

A strong aroma of coffee wafted down the ventilation pipes in the corridor,

The trivial sound of footsteps turned into a screeching sound on the carpet. I don't know if it was an illusion, but it was actually kind of cute. Then the footsteps stopped beside Ren Li, but they did not speak in a hurry, but followed Lan Li's direction. Rei's eyes were projected together, and he began to observe carefully.

"You don't like it?" came the sound of searching.

Renly shook his head slightly, but his eyes still didn't leave, "I just think... a little weird."

"Why?" The other party also discussed together, "Which part?"

"He. I mean, he should be my character, right?" Renly pointed to the main characters on the poster, the male protagonists Xiaohong and the robot Dabai.

"Yes, you don't like it?" The other party threw the same question again.

Renly shrugged, "I can't say I like it, but I can't say I don't like it. It's a very strange feeling." After a pause, Renly took a closer look, "I don't know, there's no way to find the exact one. adjective."

why?

In works that use humans as animated characters, the cartoon characters will more or less borrow the appearance and outline of some voice actors, and they may not be 100% the same—maybe even less than 50%, but the creators do capture some The characteristics of Shen Yun or temperament, and then complete the creation of cartoon images according to the attributes of animation.

The same goes for Super Marines.

This is a story that takes place in the future world. The city was created and conceived by combining the two cities of San Francisco and Tokyo as templates. The protagonist of the story, Xiao Hong, is a mixed race - Asian and American, so he He and his brother's names are quite special. He is called "Hiro", homophonic "Hero", which can be translated as Xiaohong; while his brother is called "Tadashi", which is translated as Azheng.

Therefore, when creating Xiaohong and Ah Zheng, the images must incorporate the characteristics of mixed blood to give the characters more color.

At one point, Disney hoped to find real Asian-Americans to dub Hiro and Ah Zheng, but then due to the accident of Vin Diesel and the "Guardians of the Galaxy", Renly appeared in the line of sight. After weighing, Disney finally chose Renly to dub "Super Marines"——

In fact, looking back now, Disney could have invited Renly to star in a live-action movie, which would be much more cost-effective. After all, the real heroes of the cartoon are the director and the team, and the voice actors can only be regarded as part of the entire team. The actor's box office appeal The influence that power can exert is relatively limited.

Now, when the creative team conceived of Xiaohong, they also had to refer to Renly's appearance and... incorporate Asian lines and ancestry.

As a result, the image presented to Renly deviates greatly from the previous life.

First of all, this is the first time that Renly has seen his own cartoon image, which is indeed an interesting thing. You can vaguely see his outline and temperament, but it is an animated cartoon character, and then make up for it. In the future, this character may also appear in peripheral products, and he suddenly becomes animated, which is definitely a very unique experience.

If that's all, Renly is just curious, but the important thing is...

Secondly, on the cartoon character in front of him, he can actually capture Chu Jiashu's appearance, it's like... It's as if the facial features and eyes temperament of Chu Jiashu and Ren Li are blended together, and it looks like Ren Li from one angle. , Another angle looks like Chu Jiashu, and another angle is neither.

This made Renly have a thought: So, is this what the two people look like when they combine their appearances? So, there are such similarities between the two of them, is this the reason for his transmigration and rebirth? Or maybe the order was reversed, because he was reborn as Renly, so the shadow of Chu Jiashu appeared in Renly's genes? If you imagine it further, it seems that you can weave a science fiction novel.

This strange sense made Renly stop.

But this kind of brain-opening idea was only comprehensible to Renly, and it was completely impossible for others to understand.

Is this an unspoken secret?

Chris-Williams, who was standing next to him, cut into a completely different perspective, "So you're not the kind of person who fantasizes about being a cartoon character and then taking risks in the game to kill enemies? Especially? You can't feel the excitement and happiness when you see the role-playing protagonist clear the level?"

game?

"...No, I don't play games." Renly felt that his thoughts were not on the same track as Williams.

Williams slumped his shoulders, but then took a deep breath and "pulled up" again, "So, do you feel embarrassed when you see your work on the big screen?"

There is a type of actor who has no way to appreciate their performance at all, it has nothing to do with good or bad, but watching their skins projected on the screen, the sense is very, very strange.

"I don't have a problem. Got through so many premieres without breaking down," Renly joked in a relaxed tone.

Williams laughed, "You will get used to it, the visual sense brought by cartoon characters is softer, and you will like the little macro in the cartoon." After that, Williams mysteriously Approaching Renly, "Tell you, we've been with this character for over a year, and now we all think of him as a friend, our closest friend. To be honest, I'm a little excited to see you now."

Chris Williams is one of the two directors of "Super Marines."

"..." This wasn't what Renly expected either—not because of his status and fame, but because of his cartoon image. The thoughts in my mind turned, and then I suddenly realized, "Is this why Comic Con is so popular?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Williams nodded again and again, the smile on his face bloomed directly, "That's what I mean, I think you are playing Xiaohong now, you should be the most like Xiaohong in the world. People, oops, a little excited."

"", for the first time, Renly felt that his head was not thinking fast enough to keep up with the other party: Where the hell is this coming from?
