Chapter 1695 Panda Bear
Li Mu asked Mr. Lei to send a research team to Japan, requesting that he must learn the small and profound development strategy of Japanese tourism.
It's best to get a design team from Japan. They are really good at cartoon design. These elements are used in the tourism industry, and it is really beneficial.
Not to mention the Japanese comics that are popular all over the world, just one Kumamon bear will not know how many tourists have been attracted to Japan and Kumamoto Prefecture.
And Kumamon is just a cartoon image of Kumamoto Prefecture itself.
So Li Mu thought that he has no right to design a city cartoon image for a city in China, but he can design an exclusive image for his own travel route, such as designing a super cute or funny and cute panda image, and then use this panda image as a Cartoon image of panda travel route.
Then, you can spend money to spray these images on the fuselage of the aircraft from Yanjing to Sichuan, Shanghai to Sichuan, or you can print it on the headrest cover of the aircraft seat, the packaging bag of the aircraft meal, On the boarding pass, you can even spend money to put visual advertisements at Chuandu Airport; you can also spend money to print them on and in taxis in Chuandu.
At that time, I want the foreign tourists participating in the panda route to continuously accept the visual impact of these cartoon images from the moment they go to Chuandu, strengthen their impression of this cartoon image, and then put them on the tourist attractions in Chuandu. Put a lot of souvenirs made of these cartoon images, and let them buy them and take them back involuntarily.
In addition, it is necessary to make full use of the Internet to publicize the cartoon image in various ways on the Internet. As long as people remember this image, it has already won half of the battle.
Thinking back to Kumamon, this ugly live-action doll version of the animation should not be too popular, all kinds of cheap actions, coupled with text, dominate WeChat, Weibo and major online platforms.
If the cartoon image of your own panda travel route can be as popular as it is in the world, you will really not have to worry about passenger flow.
Li Mu suddenly thought about it, why don't he just give that ugly guy a makeover and make an ugly panda bear?
Kumamon is originally a cartoon shape of a bear. The main color is black, the eye sockets and mouth are white, and then it is matched with red blush. There are three colors in total. The main color of the panda is white, with black eye sockets, black nose and mouth, and cheeks. Red can also be used red...
In this way, it seems that as long as the black and white of the Kumamon are reversed, and a little modification is made, it should be almost enough...
Thinking of this, Li Mu felt that he was really talented, and he could easily pry away the future pillar industry of Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan!
At that time, I also made this image all over the place,
Then make it into a real doll, train a few young guys to wear it and make various videos and animations. When this image becomes popular, it will also be licensed for free. Anyone who wants to use you just say hello to me, just say hello. Take it and use it.
Whether you use its image to package condoms in the United States, or package mineral water in Europe, or even KFC McDonald's wants to use it to launch a set meal, you can take it.
As long as it becomes popular, I will invite two more children's screenwriters to write a set of animation scripts for me.
The script came out, and it was packaged to the Japanese team, so that they could change it into an animation day and night, and bring it back to broadcast in China.
In another two years, I will directly find a team like Hollywood Pixar to make one or two big cartoon movies, and then I will be the world's top image in the cartoon field.
Afterwards, Li Mu hurriedly found a few designers who were good at cartoons from Taobao. He used his own poor style of painting to present the image of Kumamon, and then used his impression of Kumamon to make them continue to improve.
Several cartoon designers were at a loss. No matter how they drew, they felt that this thing was really ugly, so ugly that they didn't even want to write.
The designers have painted several versions, but still can't get to the point, and the painting can't even achieve a six-pointedness.
Some designers even tried to make it beautiful, but after being discovered by Li Mu, they stopped them immediately and said, "You must not think about painting this thing to look good, once you paint it, you have already lost!"
The designers were embarrassed, but they still perfected the panda version of Kumamon little by little according to Li Mu's request.
Li Mu watched intently, and finally found that there was a girl who had basically drawn 90% of the ugly appearance of Kumamon, so he hurriedly said to her: "Yes, that's what it looks like, and then paint it a little fatter, with a cheap expression. One point, eyes, don't draw the eyeballs in circles, turn them into ovals, and stay upright!"
While editing the draft, the cute-looking female designer said with an aggrieved expression: "Mr. Li, pandas are a national treasure. Is it really appropriate to draw so ugly?"
"Appropriate!" Li Mu said decisively: "It couldn't be more appropriate! These days, everything is not necessarily good-looking to be popular, and ugly is also a style!"
Seeing that the female designer was almost finished, Li Mu clapped his hands and said, "Come on, blush! Use the most flamboyant red!"
The female designer bit the bullet and painted the color.
Li Mu said happily after reading it, "It's really great! That's it!"
On the screen, it is completely an "albino" version of Kumamon, and the cheap, ugly and cute hanging has not changed at all, which is really the essence.
Li Mu could even think of how cheap this panda version of the real-life Kumamon doll looks.
The panda version of Kumamon rides a motorcycle, plays football, falls down while walking, does bad things, runs like a fool, wraps a turban with dirt, shakes red flags, and trips people with his legs outstretched...
These images seem to be alive, constantly appearing in front of Li Mu's eyes. He can't wait for the real-life dolls of this image to be made, and then specially asked the team to record a bunch of animations!
However, if you have a moving picture, you must have an emoticon package. Now YY, there is no such a show function as a moving picture expression package...
It seems that it is about to cause a big innovation of expression packs first!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly called Fang Xudong and asked him: "At this stage, you can directly send GIF animations to the other party in the YY dialog box, and the other party can see the animation pictures directly in the dialog box without receiving it. This kind of technical difficulty is very difficult. ?"
Fang Xudong said: "It's not big, it's easy to achieve, what are you doing, Mr. Li?"
Li Mu said: "You can first get me a test version that can be implemented. By the way, in the expression column, add a custom expression function for me. The custom expression should support pictures and GIF formats."
"it is good!"
...
After instructing Fang Xudong, the more Li Mu looked at this panda version of Kumamon, the more he liked it, and he kept praising: "Tsk tsk, this is really great! Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"
The female designer was about to cry: "Mr. Li, do you really want to use this as a cartoon image of our panda travel route?"
Li Mu nodded immediately and said, "Yes, just use it!"
The girl said with red eyes: "Can you not say that I participated in the design, I'm afraid I will be scolded..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Scolded? Just wait and see, this image will definitely become popular..."
The girl said embarrassedly, "But it's really ugly. I haven't painted anything so ugly since I was three years old."
While staring at the panda version of Kumamon, Li Mu asked, "Don't you think it looks cool?"
All the designers shook their heads blankly, slandering the boss's aesthetics in their hearts, whether there was something wrong.
Regardless of this, Li Mu said directly to the girl, "Quickly make an all-round perspective rendering of this image."
After speaking, he hurriedly called Master Lei over, showed him this cartoon image, and said, "Mr. Lei, let our team go to Yiwu to find the best foundry and produce dozens of sets of real people for me according to this image. Dolls come out first, and then a few sets of ornaments, dolls, refrigerator magnets, keychains, hats, T-shirts, plastic bags, cloth bags of different sizes and specifications. good enough."
Leader Lei looked at the panda version of Kumamon and smacked his lips with a depressed expression: "Mr. Li, does this thing look a little ugly?"
Li Mu nodded: "Yes, it's pretty ugly."
Leader Lei sneered twice: "Do you want to adjust it again?"
Li Mu waved his hand: "No adjustment, just this!"
Master Lei said: "Our national treasure is so beautiful, so cute, this one is so ugly, to be honest, I can't bear to look directly at it..."
Saying that, Master Lei said very seriously: "I don't think the panda Panpan cartoon in the 1990 Asian Games is as good-looking..."
"You..." Li Mu shook his head when he thought of the panda Panpan's shape.
Panda Panpan is in the cartoon style of more than ten years ago. Now, if you make panda Panpan's shape to promote panda, you can't go to your grandma's house?
Master Lei held his chin and said, "You said that this mascot, crawling on all fours, looks better than standing? Standing seems a bit inconsistent, after all, pandas are reptiles."
Li Mu really wanted to kick him and land on all fours? Aren't you going to be crazy?
This is a cartoon image I'm going to use to anthropomorphize. You tell me that there is an anthropomorphic image of four feet on the ground? I didn't expect you, Master Lei, to be so unimaginative.
Immediately, Li Mu asked him, "Mr. Lei, I'm asking you a very serious question."
Leader Lei hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, please speak."
Li Mu asked: "Of all the cartoon characters that are based on animals and deeply rooted in people's hearts, who has four feet on the ground? Which one is not anthropomorphic and walks upright? The American Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are crawling on the ground with four claws to fight. Is that right? Does Doraemon follow Nobita's ass on all fours every day? The black cat sheriff also rides a motorcycle like a fucking human. You told me that the cartoon character has to land on all fours? I really want to kill you Kick out!"
Cult Master Lei scratched his head in embarrassment: "If you say so, it is indeed very reasonable, or the standing and anthropomorphic form is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people..."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and communicate with the manufacturer, and quickly get me the things. The panda tourism route will be launched soon, and the time is urgent."
Seeing Li Mu's insistence, Lei Jiao nodded and said, "Then I'll make arrangements as soon as the design is out."
Saying that, Cult Master Lei asked curiously, "Mr. Li, what is this guy's name?"
Li Mu thought about it and said, "Let's call it Panda Bear, the English name is Panda Bear!"
