"The Four-wheel Drive Brothers" was a hit, at least among the children. It was a complete hit.
In any province, city, elementary school, or middle school in Hua Xia, as long as they could see CCTV, the children were talking about the first episode of "Four-wheel Drive Brothers".
And in Huaxia, other than some remote mountains and forests, there was no place where Central TV could not be seen. After all, this was the only channel in Huaxia that had a global satellite broadcast. No matter how old a television was, as long as the antenna was working, it would still be able to receive Central TV Department 1's broadcast signal.
In fact, the plot of "Four-wheel Drive Brothers" was not very good. It was not even as good as "Water Margin Heroes". However, in terms of animation, it was better than "Water Margin Heroes" in all aspects.
Just the 60-second CG animation of the F1 car turning into a mini 4WD car was enough to win the audience. No animation in the world had the courage to make such a big special effect.
In fact, thirty years later, CG technology had become very common in Huaxia animation. There were also 3D masterpieces like The Legend of Qin. However, most of the special effects and 3D animation for children were still at the level of "Lei Feng's Story." It was okay to fool children in primary school, but it would not be able to fool older children.
However, the special effect of "Four-wheel Drive Brothers" was quite amazing even 30 years later. It was like the first time players saw a CG animation produced by Blizzard Entertainment, or the first time they saw a Final Fantasy movie.
Later generations described this special effect as the first psychological and visual impact on Hua Xia people.
Back to the topic. Although Jia Yapeng could not afford to make more CG animations, the later scenes were still amazing. Every scene was very delicate and detailed. If you pressed the pause button, you would find that you could even see some small cracks in the wall in the background. This scene was simply invincible.
Aside from the graphics, the animation's storyboard, action shots, and cinematography were also unparalleled in the world. Because the protagonists of this animation were not humans, but two racing cars, the main part of the animation was tracking the two racing cars.
The cinematography and storyboard perfectly achieved this. The scenes were extremely impactful, especially when the racing car leaped into the air and soared under the national flag.
In a short seven seconds, the car drifted one after another, passing through the legs of 18 pedestrians and bypassing an open manhole cover. The whole movement was so smooth that it made the scalps of the audience tingle.
And at the end, the appearance of the original God of War was even more shocking. The sound and speed of the God of War was like a shooting star. Everyone felt their throats go dry and wanted to shout out loud.
All in all, when this episode was broadcast, all the children went crazy and were completely intoxicated. They originally thought that "Water Margin Heroes" was the best animation in the world, but when "The Four-wheel Drive Brothers" appeared, they realized that they were wrong. Animation could be so cool!
Therefore, all the primary school students, middle school students, and even some high school students were completely immersed in "The Four-wheel Drive Brothers" and could not extricate themselves.
During class, they were not in the mood to listen. After class, the children gathered in the school corridor and began to role-play.
"Haha, I am Ma Xinghao. Look at my charge signal, charge!!!"
"Little brother, big brother's speed signal is the best in the world!"
"F * ck, who are you calling little brother?"
"You said you are Ma Xinghao, then I, Ma Xinglie, am your big brother!"
"I will kill you..."
Well, putting aside these scenes that good children should not learn, the huge trend that "The Four-wheel Drive Brothers" caused among the children exploded in an extremely short period of time.
Even if some children missed the premiere on the first day, under the recommendation of other children, they could not help but watch the replay of the first episode on the second day. Then, they all fell into the trap together.
In any case, in a short period of time, more than 50% of the primary and middle school students who watched the TV became fans of "The Four-wheel Drive Brothers".
At this time, a wave of emotions was brewing among the children. The more the children liked watching "The Four-wheel Drive Brothers", the more they yearned for the mini 4WD cars in the animation. They dreamed that they could also own a mini 4WD car.
Especially with the continuous broadcast of the animation, especially the second episode, Ma Xinglie and Ma Xinghao relied on their own personality and ability to modify the two prototypes of the God of War into the Charging War God and the Sonic War God respectively. Then, in the finals of Yuzhang City, after showing their incomparable strength, it ignited the madness of all the audience.
"I want a mini 4WD car so much!" Countless children looked at the sun, moon, or stars outside the window and let out a cry from the bottom of their hearts.
But the problem was that the mini 4WD car looked too high-end, and it was full of all kinds of black technology. [Forgive the ignorance of children, but in the eyes of children of that era, mini 4WD cars were indeed black technology. Not to mention the appearance of air cannons, air blades, and other weapons later on, those were definitely black technology.] No matter how you look at it, it did not look like a car that could be made in reality!
"I bet a Thunderbolt Qin Ming that this mini 4WD car definitely cannot be made in reality!" A child said solemnly.
"No, I asked my father, and my father said that it can be made!" Another child retorted.
The two of them quarreled for a while. Probably because they really did hope that the mini 4WD car could be found, the child asked, "Then, did your father say how much it would cost to buy this mini 4WD car if it was made?"
"This..." The other child suddenly became mute. In fact, the father and everything were made up. How could his father accompany him to watch cartoons? He was just using his father to pull a tiger's skin.
But at this time, he definitely could not be exposed, so the child thought for a while and estimated the price. "About, maybe, a few hundred yuan for one!"
"A few hundred yuan!" The other child showed a disdainful smile. "Let me tell you, this is the world's top technology, just like the F1 car. An F1 car costs tens of millions to buy one. I think it's impossible to buy a mini 4WD car without a few thousand yuan! "
"A few thousand yuan!" A child's face showed a desperate expression. "Even if I take out all my New Year's money, I only have 30 yuan. It seems that I can't afford a mini 4WD car in my life!"
"Me too, I can't see a real mini 4WD car in my life!" Another child who was still full of disdain suddenly became depressed.
