Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Chapter 578 Cat and Mouse

After some rescue, the mouse finally left this warm home.

"Maybe, for it, this is a kind of relief."

Luna had no interest in such immobile things, so He Chen buried the mouse in Yi Jingshuo's back garden behind the villa.

He did not leave any mark, he was born in an unknown place and died in an unknown state. He only used his body to turn into spring mud to make the flowers bloom more beautifully.

"Ashes return to dust, dust returns to dust. May those who have passed away be in peace, and may those who are alive regain liberation."

The sad air is flowing in He Chen's home...

"Hey! I didn't know it was so timid! I was scared too, okay? I was scared to death too..." He Chen's seriousness was a little sad, as if the pet he had kept for many years had died. Walnut was restless.

She felt guilty, guilty, and wronged... She was obviously scared to death, but no one came to comfort her. Besides, if He Chen hadn't deliberately taken this thing out to scare her, it wouldn't have happened. Such a thing happened.

"Then, no matter what, I'll stay with you." Hutao finally couldn't stand the harshness in her heart...or couldn't stand He Chen's eyes as if he was seeing a murderer, so she said.

"There is only one mouse in the world." He Chen said quietly.

"Isn't it just a hamster? I've only raised it for half a day, so what the heck..." Hutao muttered in a low voice.

"It's different. If Luna dies, I will be so sad. Even if there are other black cats, they can't take Luna's place in my heart." Mamiko felt deeply for He Chen's words. He gently stroked Luna who was resting on her lap and said to Walnut.

"..." Hu Tao suddenly felt that he was the person with the lowest status here, even worse than a mouse.

"Okay. Stop teasing Hu Tao."

In the end, Yi Jingshuo couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and spoke for Hu Tao. Hu Tao also took advantage of the situation and got together with Yi Jingshuo, pitifully asking for comfort.

In this game, no one knows who is the winner.

As the saying goes, life is just a drama.

Although the mouse left He Chen forever. However, the unlocking task for Children's Day has been completed.

This Children's Day gift package really gave He Chen a surprise: "-and-jerry\

,"It is also commonly known as "Cat and Mouse".

This is a very classic cartoon. Suitable for all ages, the history is much longer than "Doraemon", and it will last forever. Since its debut in 1940, it has been one of the most popular cartoons in the world. It has brought countless joy to generations of audiences of different ages and countries.

"Tom and Jerry" features pure slapstick and a very intense plot. Using real-life rivals like cats and mice as prototypes, the storyline revolves around Tom, a common domestic cat, and Jerry, a mouse that lives in the same room with it but is difficult to catch.

Tom's constant efforts to evict the annoying tenant always seem destined to fail. Both the stupid pursuer and the clever prey are playing endless pranks. There is no cruelty of bullying in the animal world, only the daily chores and disputes between the two neighbors. Their pranks are very interesting. No matter how intense and tense the game is, Jerry can't stop it. Know that it won't come to any real harm. And Tom is always unavoidable from some physical pain.

This story about a clever mouse and a stupid cat does not have the cruelty of bullying in the animal world, but only the daily chores and disputes between two neighbors. For example, the little mouse Jerry steals Tom's cheese, and Tom puts the mousetrap at the door of Jerry's hole, etc. There are countless pranks and humorous clips interspersed in it, making people feel the long-lost innocence and joy.

The relationship between them often changes in an instant - turning enemies into friends or becoming irreconcilable: when they are enemies, they rack their brains and refuse to give in to each other; when they are friends, they are as close as brothers, and no one holds grudges.

"Tom and Jerry" in the form of pantomime. Relying entirely on antics and no dialogue.

For "Tom and Jerry", He Chen seems to be able to only produce animations. Although there are also comics of this type. For example, there are four-frame comics like "Old Master", but there is no dialogue, which does not mean there is no sound. The lack of background music makes "Tom and Jerry" lose a lot of fun.

In "Tom and Jerry", the background music is also a highlight. Sometimes it is lively and lively, sometimes thrilling, sometimes soothing and drowsy, sometimes tense and deafening. The plot of cats chasing mice and mice fighting cats becomes more and more interesting with the cooperation of music. Smooth and harmonious. On the one hand, it matches the development of the story, and on the other hand, it inspires the audience's imagination and is fascinating.

"Tom and Jerry" is not "a" animation, but a brand. It is a product produced in a standard Hollywood factory. Although it is all "Tom and Jerry", it has changed many authors, so it also has many different "painting styles".

Although He Chen can imitate a variety of painting styles, if he keeps changing painting styles in the same work, he is afraid that the audience will have an awkward and confusing feeling about the pair of images, which will easily cause drama.

So He Chen decided to choose a pair of images recognized as classic among them as his "Cat and Mouse". The overall style will also be slightly modified appropriately.

The original version of "Tom and Jerry" is just a standard American taste, filled with many classic things that Americans are very familiar with - such as the big yellow duck in the bath.

American viewers may have a great sense of immersion and smile knowingly when they see familiar things. However, viewers in other parts of the world may not be able to see it at all - although the inserted things are not important to the entire animation. It’s important, even if you don’t understand it, you can still read it smoothly.

However, He Chen didn't want to do this - he promoted their culture to the United States, and the United States did not pay him a salary.

In "Doraemon", He Chen integrated a large amount of Chinese culture into it, full of Chinese flavor characteristics, and showed the charm of China to the world. Many people who had never understood China at all learned from "Doraemon" I learned about this ancient civilization in the East in "La Meng".

"Doraemon" can be regarded as He Chen's export of Chinese culture, but "Cat and Mouse" is a very "pure" work and is not suitable for similar work.

"The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. As a world-class work, it seems that this is not a bad idea..."

He Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he had an idea.

"Tom and Jerry" has not always been smooth sailing. It has had its glorious periods and also its very dark troughs. It has even been closed down and left the library to eat dust for eight years. People have almost forgotten the pair. The cat and mouse brothers who bring countless laughter to people.

When it debuted again, "Tom and Jerry" also faced a problem that countless China Animation had faced - the person in charge of the TV station was a fan of "Tom and Jerry", but he told the then "Tom and Jerry" Author, today's parents are different. They like to show their children more and more simple animations that lack violence. Some of the early cat-and-mouse animations were too violent, such as hitting each other on the head with various objects until big bumps appeared. Therefore, he proposed to reduce the hostility between cats and mice in animation and downplay violent scenes.

So in the post-Cat and Mouse era, people often see scenes of cats and mice joining hands to explore or sitting on the beach and talking.

"Tom and Jerry" targets a younger audience. He Chen could describe the dismemberment of corpses in "eva", but he would not deliberately over-describe violent plots in his works for younger audiences.

Even the scene in "Doraemon" where the fat tiger bullies Nobita was downplayed by him. After all, these are the content that should be left to the children's happy childhood memories. A group of pure and clear children should not be allowed to The little children of the Lamb are full of anger and revengeful thoughts.

Dark content is for adults to watch. For those who have not yet formed their three views, He Chen continues to weave beautiful fairy tales for them.

He Chen must downplay the aspect of violence, but while downplaying the violence, he must also show the opposition and dispute between the cat and the mouse - such a conflict will trigger a series of interesting stories.

So He Chen came up with an idea: Tom and Jerry lived under the same roof, but they always caused chaos in the house for various reasons, so they were lazy and couldn't catch it. Tom the mouse was kicked out of the house, and the owner hired a rodent exterminator or bought a powerful cat. Jerry also ran out in order to escape. So Tom and Jerry became homeless brothers, trying to find a way to live in a home together. They supported each other in difficult times, and after finding a new home, they had all kinds of troubles. The dog jumped, so the two kept moving, never leaving, falling in love and killing each other.

While the overall story style remains unchanged, He Chen added an "adventure" element to it. Because they are always moving, the two of them can go to various places and bring endless freshness to the audience. Moreover, He Chen can integrate all the customs and characteristics from all over the world, so that people all over the world can find their own sense of belonging and experience novel characteristics that they have never seen before.

It can be said that apart from the classic images of Tom and Jerry, this "Tom and Jerry" is completely different from the original version... No, there is one thing that is the same, they are all equally interesting!

In fact, "Tom and Jerry" does not need to wait for the system to be refreshed. This is a work with no main line at all. He Chen is now fully capable of drawing this work by himself.

However, there are too many serialized things in his hand, and he relies on system refresh every time, which makes him develop an inertia.

The "Tom and Jerry" that the system refreshed on Children's Day can be said to be dispensable, but for He Chen, it was a wake-up call for him... (To be continued)
