Chapter 701 Is Full of Meaning, a Classic Animation!
The animation rhythm of "Calabash Brothers" is so fast.
The reason for the speed is also very simple, or the budget is too little, and only as much plot as possible can be shown in a limited time.
This requires a very high level of the entire script.
In a residential area in Beijing, a middle-aged man sat on a chair in the study, looking at the computer screen with a smile on his face.
The video he was watching on the computer was "Calabash Brothers".
The middle-aged man's name is Yang Shujie, and his profession is a writer and a screenwriter.
In recent days, he took a scriptwriting job and was worried about how to write it.
When he couldn't write it, his choice was to give up and simply stop writing.
When he didn't write, he would go to the movies, watch TV series and anime, or go out to travel, which is called field trips.
This is much more comfortable than the lives of most online writers.
Yang Shujie is not an online writer, so he doesn't need to update every day, otherwise he would have to rack his brains to write the content of the leave note.
"Calabash Brothers" was an animation recommended to him by a friend. Yang Shujie watched the 17th episode in one go. Like other viewers, he also saw the meaning in it.
This made Yang Shujie very interested in this animation, and he felt that he had some inspiration.
Yang Shujie continued to watch the 18th episode.
In the 18th episode, the fire baby first appeared. In this episode, the fire baby also showed the ability to spit lightning from his mouth.
The green snake spirit used magic weapons to make it rain, extinguishing the flames spewed by the fire baby.
The sixth baby used the invisibility skill to deal with the goblin, and the seventh baby took out his treasure gourd and sucked all the goblin's magic weapons into the gourd.
In the end, even the green snake spirit and the crocodile leader were sucked into the gourd.
Yang Shujie was stunned.
"They were all sucked in, how can this be solved?"
Yang Shujie immediately analyzed it in his mind.
It is obvious that the goblin is looking for weaknesses to deal with the gourd baby, but the treasure gourd is very strong and can't be broken.
Before Yang Shujie could figure it out, the answer was revealed.
The green snake spirit took out a borer from the treasure bag, and the borer began to gnaw along the inner wall of the gourd.
Yang Shujie's eyes lit up immediately.
"What a good idea, the strongest fortress is often broken from the inside!"
This kind of borer is not only in the gourd, but also in many places!
The seventh child who lost the treasure gourd was just an ordinary gourd child, and was kicked into the abyss by the monster.
A war began again.
Facing the strength of the fire child, the green snake spirit used the soul-bewitching technique to lead the fire child into the ice cave.
This chase scene has a very unique style, and many scenes are full of fantastic ideas.
This episode also ended here. Yang Shujie was already fascinated. He wrote down some of his thoughts in his notebook and prepared to continue watching tomorrow.
When "Calabash Brothers" was updated the next day, Yang Shujie sat in front of the computer as soon as possible.
At the beginning of the plot, the sixth child used the invisibility technique to make the crocodile leader go around in circles.
But the green snake spirit had discovered Liu Wa's weakness and took out a magic weapon from the treasure bag.
First, a grass came out and flew to Liu Wa's buttocks and turned into a tail. Then a flower flew out and turned into a big hat, which was put on Liu Wa's head.
Liu Wa dodged quickly, but he had a tail on his buttocks, so he could be seen even when he was invisible, and was immediately caught by the hat.
The green snake spirit laughed and said, "Blue boy, you know how to be invisible, I will let you grow a tail on your buttocks."
"You still want to be stubborn, I see you don't want to toss in there, this hat is thick and hard, even if you hit your head open, you can't get out."
Yang Shujie saw this and immediately understood that some things don't need to be read for comprehension, but some things can actually be read for comprehension.
"Liu Wa can be invisible, which represents a hermit who does not participate in disputes. To deal with such people, you have to catch the little tail and put a big hat on. This plot is really amazing."
Later, Huo Wa was trapped in an ice cave and escaped from the ice cave with the help of a crane.
The crane carried Huo Wa and flew all the time, but on the way, the crane was shot by the bow and arrow shot by the green snake spirit.
The plot was cruel again.
In "Calabash Brothers", the pangolin died, the grandfather died, and now the crane died again.
The crane originally accepted the commission of the mountain god, and before dying, it handed the seven-color lotus to Huo Wa.
Huo Wa had seven more lotus seeds of different colors in his hand.
At this time, the green snake spirit caught up again.
Her trick to deal with Huo Wa was also very simple. Since you love to spit fire, let you cook a big pot of rice.
As long as Huo Wa can cook this pot of rice, she will let the gourd brothers go and surrender.
Huo Wa believed the goblin's words, and as a result, the pot kept burning bigger and bigger.
At the end of the burning, Huo Wa was sweating profusely and couldn't boil the pot. The green snake spirit directly poured a basin of cold water on Huo Wa's head.
Cooking a big pot of rice, pouring cold water!
This scene made many viewers feel the same.
"It makes me feel bad. I was too young and worked hard in the company, but now I have to do the work of three people. My salary has not increased at all, and I have to take responsibility if something goes wrong. Now I have no enthusiasm for work at all."
A group of adults watched "Calabash Brothers" with great interest and got insights into life.
When the next episode started, the opening screen changed and a calabash boy in white clothes appeared.
On the barrage, viewers asked who this white calabash boy was.
Everyone's curiosity was aroused at once.
Then, the goblins held a banquet and opened the alchemy furnace to refine the gourd dolls into the Seven Star Divine Pill.
A group of flattering goblins started to flatter again.
The green snake spirit threw the seven gourd dolls into the alchemy furnace and began to refine them. The fire was burning fiercely, and the goblins laughed excitedly.
In the alchemy furnace, only the fire doll opened his eyes.
He took out the seven-color lotus and thought of the mountain god's instructions.
"Brothers, let's hug together!"
A flash of light passed, and the alchemy furnace exploded. Only a round pill was left in the furnace.
The goblins thought that the Seven Star Pill was refined, but in fact it was not the Seven Star Pill, but the compressed file of the gourd little golden man.
As a result, after the green snake spirit ate it in one bite, he found that he couldn't bite it at all.
Everyone wanted to split the Seven Star Pill in half, but the sword broke.
Hit it with a hammer, and the hammer also broke.
The pill directly emitted light and turned into a gourd doll in white clothes.
"Here is Little Gourd King Kong!" Little King Kong shouted.
For a moment, the barrage began to increase.
"Is this seven-in-one?"
"Wow, this Little King Kong is awesome!"
"Before, we defeated them one by one, but now the seven Gourd Brothers are united as one, so we are invincible!"
In the fight, Little Gourd King Kong also showed his personal ability.
"The hearts of the seven Gourd Brothers are all in my heart, and the abilities of the seven Gourd Brothers are all in my body!"
Sure enough, in the subsequent battles, Little King Kong can be said to be very invincible.
The various magic weapons used by the Green Snake Spirit could not do anything to Little King Kong.
Yang Shujie frowned and said, "Doesn't Little King Kong have no weaknesses now?"
But it is obvious that the plot is not over yet.
Later, the Green Snake Spirit used fog to blind Little King Kong's eyes, and then took the opportunity to escape.
Little King Kong began to chase the Green Snake Spirit.
What Yang Shujie did not expect was that the Butterfly Fairy appeared later.
"Is this going to add a love line?" Yang Shujie was a little confused.
Little Butterfly plays a big role in Hulu Xiao Jin Gang.
She introduced the identity and magic weapon of the Green Snake Spirit to Xiao Jin Gang, and the reason why she was here.
Xiao Jin Gang rescued Little Butterfly, but Little Butterfly had a magic claw gold hoop on her waist. The more she hit the gold hoop, the tighter it locked.
As a result, the Green Snake Spirit came again at this time. With the help of the fog, the Green Snake Spirit and Xiao Jin Gang fought evenly, and finally trapped Xiao Jin Gang, but the Green Snake Spirit had no way to deal with Xiao Jin Gang.
The goblin captured Little Butterfly and made Little Butterfly a traitor to help them subdue Xiao Jin Gang.
Little Butterfly accompanied Xiao Jin Gang to avoid the mechanism all the way and came to Qixiang Valley.
The two sat on the swing made of leaves, surrounded by various flowers, which looked very romantic.
Little Butterfly smiled and said, "With me accompanying you, there is no worry here. You can dance with flowers in the morning and sleep with strange grass at night. You will forget all your worries and pains."
The two had a lot of fun in Qixiang Valley.
Yang Shujie understood immediately.
"The land of gentleness is the grave of heroes. To deal with heroes, you have to let beauties take over."
The Green Snake Spirit also learned that Xiao Jin Gang's weakness was that he was afraid of being grabbed by others, so the Green Snake Spirit asked Xiao Die Hu to kill Xiao Jin Gang.
But Xiao Die Hu was also quite hesitant.
However, the first assassination attempt was discovered by Xiao Jin Gang, and the assassination failed.
During the conversation, the two learned that the power of Jin Gang Huluwa was in the pendant on his neck. Xiao Jin Gang drank flower dew and got drunk. The Green Snake Spirit snatched the pendant from his neck and locked Xiao Jin Gang and Xiao Die Hu together.
But soon, Xiao Jin Gang told the way to restore his ability. As long as he touched the sun, he could restore his ability.
With the help of Xiao Die Hu, Xiao Jin Gang touched a ray of sunlight from the cave entrance, and the pendant was recovered and restored.
But at the last moment, Xiao Die Hu was stabbed in the chest by the spear thrown by the bat spirit.
Xiao Jin Gang was immediately angry.
Little Butterfly said with tears in her eyes: "Little brother, why are you crying? Don't be sad for me. I was originally forced by the Green Snake King to confuse you, but your heart is as clear as crystal. I like you. You are kind, sincere, brave, and always want to help others.
But the fairy's magic is powerful. If you want to defeat it, you must first destroy its treasure bag and diamond sword, these two magic weapons. Did you hear it clearly?"
Some viewers were moved to tears after watching this section.
Little Butterfly was forced by the Green Snake, but she never did anything to directly hurt Little King Kong.
Before Little King Kong drank flower dew and got drunk, she had been persuading Little King Kong not to drink.
This fairy is actually kind.
After saying this, Little Butterfly tilted her head and died.
Some parts of the original story were a bit rushed, so Xu Ye added some content to it, enriching the plot content and making the whole plot more natural.
Yang Shujie thought this emotional drama was quite interesting.
Many children's cartoons nowadays deliberately avoid love scenes, as if they are something they dare not touch.
A good love scene, a love scene that is just right, adds points to the animation.
In "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", the love scene between Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit received unanimous praise.
Yang Shujie thinks that the death of Little Butterfly is also an important part of Little King Kong's growth.
But he also has an idea from the perspective of a creator.
"They can't be together. There are seven Calabash Brothers, but only one Little Butterfly. You must die."
If he didn't die, would it be possible for a little butterfly to fall in love with seven gourd babies?
Little King Kong headed all the way towards the goblin's lair.
Along the way, he encountered three monsters and four monsters.
The first one is strange, called black eating black.
It can spit out black wind and pull people into its mouth to eat it. It usually feeds on stones and is immune to ice and fire. In the end, Little King Kong smashed its mouth with a stone and killed him.
The second one is a spider demon.
The spider demon can stir up its own spider web and play an ecstasy song to hypnotize people, and it even caught a little hedgehog in its web.
At the reminder of the little hedgehog, Little King Kong covered his ears, killed the spider demon with fire and lightning, and saved the little hedgehog by the way.
Little King Kong and the little hedgehog continued to move forward and encountered the third monster.
This monster is called a multi-faced monster. It has many different faces and can be transformed into various appearances at will.
The many-faced monster originally wanted to use a woman's face to confuse Little King Kong and trick him into drinking poisonous wine.
With the help of the little hedgehog, the many-faced monster's trick was exposed. The multi-faced monster turned into a grimace in anger, and shot various hidden weapons from its mouth to attack the little King Kong.
Little King Kong raised a sharp boulder and smashed the many-faced monster directly.
Then Little King Kong encountered a fourth monster, this one was called the King of Reachers.
King Reaching has no hobbies, he only likes to buy money for traveling. His hands can be long or short. He is not afraid of water or fire, but he is afraid that the things given to him are too few. In the end, Little King Kong smashes down the arm of King Reaching with a boulder from above. break.
When Little King Kong moved forward again, he encountered the fifth monster, the beautiful monster.
This is a monster with the appearance of a beautiful woman. Only its upper body can move, and there are gauze on the left and right sides to block the enemy's path.
At this time, Yang Shujie noticed a detail.
These monsters all said that they were not afraid of water or fire.
"These monsters are neither afraid of water nor fire. Their bodies are all made of stone. Does that mean they are so bad to the core that water and fire cannot wash them away?"
Yang Shujie spread his thoughts without any responsibility.
These monsters also obviously have a meaning. Little King Kong almost fell here, and it was the hero who was saddened by the beauty.
Finally, the little hedgehog stepped forward and woke up the little King Kong. The little King Kong directly enlarged his body and trampled the beautiful demon into pieces.
Little King Kong continued to move forward and encountered the sixth monster. This was a monster called King Gangya.
The King of Steel Teeth has only one face, and the most prominent symbol is his steel teeth. He is not afraid of anything but being tickled in his armpits.
Little King Kong discovered that his weak point was his nostrils. He would sneeze if he scratched his nostrils.
Little King Kong scratched his nostrils, passed through the gap in his mouth when he sneezed, and then bumped into the last monster.
This demon is called King Kong. He guards the seventh layer of tunnels. He has no hair on his body. He claims to be invincible. Except for his belly button, his whole body is covered with diamond iron skin and has no other weaknesses.
Finally, Little King Kong discovered the weakness in his belly button, pierced it and died of air leakage.
Little King Kong finally found the Hundred Treasures Kit and the King Kong Sword, destroyed the two treasures and then fought his way to the Green Snake Spirit's cave.
The Green Snake Spirit turned into a snake and ran away in a hurry. Little King Kong dropped a boulder and split her body in half.
However, the Green Snake Spirit returned to her fairy appearance and laughed: "Calabash kid, don't think it's so easy to win against me. I can't be smashed or killed. I also have the ability to bring the dead back to life."
The green snake spirit turned into a huge two-headed snake, and the evil wind spitting out of the snake's mouth made it a bit difficult for Little King Kong to deal with.
But in the end, Little King Kong succeeded in getting rid of the Green Snake Spirit.
In the song of Little King Kong, Little King Kong turned into seven gourd babies. The seven gourd babies worked together to suppress the Green Snake Spirit in the valley.
The seven gourd brothers merged into one again and turned into a gourd to suppress the green snake spirit at the foot of the mountain.
A colorful mountain peak stood among the clouds again.
Only this time, the color of the mountain is different from before.
The previous mountain peak was made up of seven stones, each with different colors.
This time the mountain peaks are seven colors blended into one.
Yang Shujie sighed: "Does this mean that the Hulu brothers are now truly brothers?"
However, no matter how many conjectures there are, they are just his personal interpretation as a viewer.
There were so many discussions on the Internet, but Xu Ye, as the screenwriter, didn't come out to explain a few words, obviously he didn't want to explain.
"Calabash Brothers" has all been played.
Yang Shujie had many ideas in his mind. This animation inspired him so much that he felt that he could start writing the script that he had been stuck on.
He reviewed the plots and found that Little King Kong also had weaknesses.
He could no longer open his eyes when faced with the evil wind spit out by the goblin. When faced with the beauty barrier, he might not have been able to escape without someone else's reminder.
There are so many meanings in this animation. Even if you watch it again, you will have a deeper understanding.
This is called a classic!
Yang Shujie picked up his phone, intending to see what everyone was chatting about online.
He also has a Weibo account with millions of fans, and will also express some of his own opinions on it.
After opening Weibo, Yang Shujie refreshed it and happened to see Xu Ye's Weibo.
"I just posted it on Weibo."
Yang Shujie looked at the copywriting on Weibo.
The copywriting said, “Today I’m going to cosplay Calabash Doll for everyone.”
When Yang Shujie thought of the clothes that Calabash Brothers wore, the clothes would definitely be eye-catching in reality.
Xu Ye definitely had no good intentions in cosplaying this character.
But driven by curiosity, Yang Shujie still clicked on the video.
In the video, Xu Ye stood in front of a white wall with a line of text on it.
"Cosplaying Liu Wa".
Yang Shujie couldn't help but look forward to Xu Ye's appearance in clothes, which must be eye-catching.
However, when the countdown ended, there was nothing in the picture, only a white wall.
Yang Shujie was stunned.
"Where is Liu Wa? Isn't he cosplaying Liu Wa?"
He realized the problem the next second.
"Liu Wa's skill is invisibility, is Xu Ye invisible? This fucking cosplay is too similar! Invisibility is restored!"
