CATDOLL: Interview with the production team behind "Brave Adventure" with a lot of sharp questions

The first season of "Brave Adventure" has come to an end, but you haven't seen enough, right? You still have a lot of questions about the plot, right? You are also curious about the production process behind this work, right? So today, we will "torture" the main creators and raise the ten most incisive questions about "Brave Adventure" that everyone wants to know the most!

Question 1: Why do you want to demolish my Datuyan! Why do you want to demolish my Datuyan! Why do you want to demolish my Datuyan!

Zhou Ming: Well, as a serious screenwriter, I think we should look at this issue seriously from the perspective of the five elements. The word "Tu" belongs to wood, and the word "Yan" belongs to earth. Wood overcomes earth, which means that with the god Tu, An Yan has little room to play, few opportunities to grow, and too little experience value bonus. Only by separating them can An Yan grow. And the ancients said, "Friends come from afar, and a short separation is better than anything else!" ~ (Still not satisfied? Then why not separate them?)

Guangtong: Zhuyan Wangdao! Tulong Wangdao! (The above is crossed out) I don’t understand what you are talking about...

Second question: Is the hero gay?

Guangtong: No! Brokeback Mountain is it!

ASKASK: Of course not! Did you see two men in bed? (Audience: "We all saw it!") Well, this... So, the movie "The Brave" proves that even if there are two men in bed, it may not be a gay movie...

Question 3: Are these holes in the animation that you just dug and then forgot to fill? Is that so? There are more and more holes!

Zhouming: Carefully excavated and built! Three-year warranty!

Haitao: Making a feature film is a complicated and confusing process, from early planning to script writing to audio and video presentation. It is full of uncertainties, which is why it gives each link and department the opportunity to constantly recreate. Some of the pits created in this process were originally planned, and many were spontaneously created in the process. It can also be compared to explosion pits, where small pits are caused by flying shrapnel. As for whether to fill the pits and when to fill them, this needs to be discussed in detail at the creative meeting...

ASKASK: Please allow me to translate what the director said. What he meant was: what he said was nonsense.

Well... In general, please believe that every hole you see was dug by us with our heart! And we originally wanted to fill it! However... Because an episode of animation is only about ten minutes, if we fill this, we can't fill that, so... cough... I will fill it slowly in the future...

Question 4: Whose idea was it to torture An Yan after Shen Tu? Are Shen Tu and An Yan his biological sons? Have you received all the blades sent by fans?

Guangtong: This is all fate... I received the blade. It was used in the core scene of the pyramid in episode 24. We won't waste it!

Zhou Ming: Anyway, it’s not me! I deeply love Shen Tu An Yan (firm eyes)!

ASKASK: Please don't believe the two above. If you have a chance to watch our discussion, you will see... Every time we discuss the plot of torturing the god Tuanyan, these guys laugh so happily! Yes, we torture people in such a happy atmosphere... (It seems like I have a premonition that I will put away the blade again...)

Question 5: How was the plot of Brave created? How much did Uncle San participate in it?

Guangtong: About two years ago, I first saw the world view of "Broken Chapter" written by Sanshu. The world of Brave Adventure was gradually built on this basis. From games to animations, dozens of friends have participated in the construction of this world and the improvement of the plot. In the past two years, some people left and some joined. Many people's names did not appear in the list at the end of the film, but you can definitely touch the traces they left.

ASKASK: The process of the entire project has been mentioned above. As for the animation itself, it is usually the main creative members that you see now who discuss the overall direction first, and then the screenwriter writes the script based on the direction, and then everyone discusses and corrects the details together. The first draft obtained in this way must be submitted to the mysterious advisory group that appears in our end credits. After the review of the advisory group, new opinions are put forward again from the perspective of the audience, and the final draft can be formed based on the opinions of the advisory group. In this process of repeated revisions, first of all, the overall direction of our plot will be submitted to Uncle San for review, and it must be ensured that there will be no conflict between the plot and Uncle San's creation. After that, during the broadcast of the animation, Uncle San will also raise issues that he is concerned about at any time and urge us to make improvements. Therefore, the creation of animation is a very complicated process!

Question 6: What is the relationship between the animation and the novel's plot?

Guangtong: This is a story that happens simultaneously in the same big world. I guess when you read this interview, you should be able to see familiar people in the novel.

ASKASK: Seemingly unrelated people live in the same world. Maybe one day, they will pass by each other, or get to know each other, or even fight side by side... Who knows? The future always has infinite possibilities, so it is worth looking forward to!

Question 7: How are the characters of heroes designed?

Guangtong: It's drawn (I know you're not asking this, hahaha) In fact, the character really has its own vitality. At the beginning of the script creation, when we had a meeting, it was like this - A: Do you think it would be better to let him do this or that? B: I think it's better to do this... But later it became like this - A: Hum (sneer), do you think Tu Ye would bring a mobile phone? Everyone: (clapping their hands on the table) Oh, right!

ASKASK: Yes! Just like what was said above, the creative team is often shocked by the presence of the characters themselves. Often when we suddenly come up with a new idea, we look back at the previous plot and find that "Ah! Doesn't this just echo a certain detail in the previous plot?" At this time, there is a sense of horror that goes cold on the back, thinking "Are these characters originally alive? It seems that we created them, but in fact they are just controlling us to write their stories!"

There are also many times when a minor character who only appears briefly in the plan becomes more and more important as the plot progresses. When we realize it, he has become a core character that cannot be abandoned. For example, Feng Shen was just a dumpling in the initial plot planning... However... when we come to our senses, his importance in the main storyline is no less than Shen Tu and An Yan! It's really scary to think about it... (In fact, the entire crew has fallen into Feng Shen's conspiracy...)

Question 8: Can you give me spoilers for Season 2? Will everyone still be traveling around the world in Season 2? Will they still be the same characters as before?

Zhou Ming: There will be new characters worth looking forward to in the second season. The global adventure will continue, but it will be more continuous than the first season, and the goal will become clearer as the plot develops.

Guangtong: Please pay attention to the bus stop sign in the first episode - global adventure, unlimited fun!

ASKASK: You can probably guess it after watching the last episode of the first season. The first stop of the second season will be Paris, the city where Shen Tu lived in legend! Next, we will also travel to many countries in the second season. However, because of the strong call from everyone in the first season, we plan to add more scenes of returning to China in the second season! After all, there are too many mysterious tombs and ancient monuments in China waiting for us to discover! In terms of roles, Shen Tu and An Yan are of course indispensable, and there will be new characters joining. As for whether the various supporting characters in the first season can return, it depends on their popularity! Go and vote for your favorite character!

Question 9: Why did An Yan stay out for so long without contacting his family? Wouldn’t his family be worried? Wouldn’t they call the police?

Haitao: An Yan actually has a family, otherwise why would he call home the first thing he did after returning from Bao Nilu's house in the second episode? As for why he contacted less frequently later, the reason will be revealed in the second season. By the way, there is a place in the last episode of the first season that will tell you whether An Yan has contact with his family. The prerequisite is to watch it carefully and seriously!

Guangtong: As for An Yan's family, you can see more about it in the second season. I'll keep it a secret here (~wink)

Question 10: An Yan didn’t live in a dormitory when he was in college, but rented a house, which shows that he is very rich. But why does he only wear the same T-shirt all the time, and it’s a game advertising T-shirt?

Zhou Ming: (cough cough) An Yan lives in the suburbs, the rent is actually very cheap!

Guangtong: Because we are the most shameless crew you have ever seen (serious face)

ASKASK: Okay, okay! Change clothes! In the second season...

Finally: The second season of "Brave Adventure" animation is in production! In order to ensure that everyone can see a new episode every week, the Brave animation crew must first secretly go underground to work... In the spring of 2016, we will meet you with better-looking braves! Don't forget us~~~~ In the meantime, please pay more attention to the plot of the novel version and comic version of "Brave Adventure"!
