The second season of " Thinking about " is finally coming. Judging from the official information, the second season is named "The Smoke of Thinking", with a total of 13 episodes on file. The producer is still Yanyang Culture. In terms of modeling, the second season continued to use the models of the first season, appropriately optimized some characters, and added new characters according to the needs of the plot.
Seeing this, many fans may have questions. Other animations change their models every season. Why doesn't you consider making new models? Is it a lack of funds? In fact, it is not the case. Judging from the broadcast data of the first season, the performance of Guansisi is still very good. For this kind of works that have a good response on the broadcast, Goose Factory usually does not skimp on funding. According to the news we have received, Goose Factory will only invest more in the second season than the first season, not less than the first season. The reason why the production team did not change the models was not due to lack of funds. Judging from the director's New Year's Eve interview released by Yanyang Culture, the director chose to retain the models in the first season mainly for the audience's habit of following the show.
According to the director, the creative concept of genetic aesthetics was adopted for the first time in the character modeling of Guansi Sisi. Taking Jingxuan as an example, the modeling at the age of four is exactly the same as the modeling at the age of adulthood, which means that key nodes such as eyebrows and eyes are the same, which is completely consistent with the growth logic of normal human beings in reality.
In terms of family heritage, Jingxuan's eyes and nose are similar to his father's, and his mouth and face are similar to his mother's. This is completely consistent with the genetic principles of human beings in reality. Therefore, after investing such a large cost in advance, if you change the model again, it will not only be easy to overturn like in works such as Fighting to Break the Sky and Wu Dong Qiankun, but it will also cause unnecessary waste of resources.
In addition, although the popularity of Guansi Sisi is not as high as that of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality and Douluo Dalu, as an original Chinese comic work, Guan Sisi can indeed be regarded as an industry It is a milestone in the series. In addition to deliberately exaggerating the female body curves and clothing issues, there is no exposure of the male gaze angle. More importantly, the style of the whole drama from beginning to end does not have the same problems as other Chinese comics. Instead, the overall style has always maintained a very unified oriental classical beauty. All the costumes, words and deeds are in service of the plot, and the director does not want to rely on side effects to gain attention, which is commendable.
As for the plot, many people think that the pace of the show is too slow, but I think it’s okay. In just fifteen episodes, everything that needs to be said is said. It’s not as hard-packed as The Three-Body Problem, nor is it as fast as Star Transformation Season 5, which makes people confused. On the whole, this kind of slow and steady narrative method still makes people feel very comfortable.
It is precisely this way of carefully crafting the plot and character psychology that makes every character in this drama so successful, especially the relationship between the male and female protagonists. It feels like it comes naturally, unlike some dramas where the male and female protagonists suddenly look at each other inexplicably. It is also because of this kind of meticulous description that Juansi Sisi has become the ceiling of original Chinese comics that everyone unanimously recognizes. Finally, I would like to give some suggestions to Juan Sisi. I hope that the production team can pay more attention to modern people's aesthetics and female consciousness, as well as the portrayal of relative villains when producing the second season. Everyone's motivation for action must be reasonable. For example, Liniang's psychology of being a mortal must have enough experience to support it. For example, if you keep the existing model and add a little more character curves, you may have unexpected gains.
