Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 94 94. KyoAni

Speaking of Jingani, Qing Zhiyuan is too familiar.

In the previous life, there were many masterpieces born by Kyo Ani, and there are a lot of famous ones that can be counted casually.

For example, the well-known "Eternal Garden of Violet" is also called Jingzi.

Then the healing series "CLANNAD" and "AIR" are also produced by KyoAni, so they can show a sophisticated style of painting and become eternal classics.

In addition, there are a lot of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "Full Metal Frenzy", "Second Child Disease and Fall in Love", "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid"...

Simply not too much.

The core advantages of Kyoto Animation lie in the high level of original artists, perfect talent training mechanism, stable salary, as well as the independence of production and the stability of the team.

The works of Kyoto Animation, beautiful backgrounds and exquisite pictures are the biggest features.

Unlike most companies in the industry that mainly pursue production and commercial benefits, Kyoto Animation has always adhered to the principle of meticulous creation, and has guaranteed the ultra-high quality of the works in terms of screen and lens language with one or two "low efficiency" per year. quality.

But that's the full KyoAni.

The time now is 1991.

In the current KyoAni, although Yoko Hatta, one of the founders, used to be responsible for the coloring of finished animations at Tezuka Osamu Studio, the only thing KyoAni can do is coloring.

The company had been outsourcing work before.

That is to help other large animation production companies, help coloring, and draw the rest of the content on the basis of other people's completion of the storyboard.

After seeing the bidding for pokeni this time, President Hatta (Hideaki Hatta, the husband of Yoko Hatta) plucked up the courage to give it a try.

The main reason is that I feel that my painting level and production process have probably reached the stage of completing a work independently.

The game Onmyoji itself also has a strong dramatic effect. If it can be done well, it will also be a good opportunity for Kyoto Animation.

It's not nice to say--

Who would want to outsource all the time if they could?
They have prepared a lot of work for this.

……

"President, this is the supervisor of our studio, Masaharu Kinogami. This time, he is responsible for the storyboarding and animation production. He will show you the planning content we provide."

Hey?
Hearing Kigami Masharu's name, Qing Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback.

Wow, after a long time, it turned out that the man who was traveling with him was Masuharu Kigami?

Kigami Masaharu can be said to be KyoAni's behind-the-scenes driving force, the real boss.

Born in 57, he is only 34 years old and looks quite young.

This person is known as a genius in the animation industry. If he hadn't returned to Daban because he had to take care of his sick mother, he should still be in Tokyo now.

Masharu Kigami is to KyoAni what Hayao Miyazaki is to Ghibli, and Hideaki Anno is to G Club.

It can be said that there would be no future KyoAni without Masuji Kigami.

Masuji Kigami is a real genius. After graduating from the Tokyo Designers Academy in 1980, he joined the cutting-edge animation, which was still very young at that time.

Although Xinrui has only been established for a short time, the list of big names in the company is really scary——

Miyazaki Hayao, Otsuka Yasuo, Takada Isao, just take one out and they are all master-level figures.

Moreover, the neon cartoonists of that period practiced a hand-in-hand mentor system. Under the cultivation of the masters, Kigami Masharu achieved rapid growth.

Only two years after his debut, Kigami Masaharu was promoted to be the painting director of "Sarutobi Little Ninja".

In animation production, supervision is equivalent to the position of producer in a game company.

Think about it, it took just over two years to climb to this position, how exaggerated and terrifying Kigami Masaharu's talent is.

……

Kigami Masaharu, who was supposed to shine in Tokyo, learned last year, in 1990, that his mother was seriously ill and needed someone to take care of him, so he resolutely returned to Osaka.

He found a job nearby, and of course, it was also because of Hideaki Hatta's earnest plea that Masaharu Kigami joined KyoAni.

Hatta Hideaki is also a very courageous president. In order to pursue the company's breakthrough, he gave Kigami Masaharu very high authority and treatment——

Kigami is fully responsible for the establishment of the company's internal production system and personnel training.

Onboarding is executive.

Moreover, Uji City, where KyoAni is located, is very close to Kigami’s hometown, Osaka.

After Kigami joined the company, whether it was the most basic middle cut, or original painting, animation, storyboarding, and photography, he taught newcomers hand in hand.

He even participated in every detail of the script. It can be said that this person has no shortcomings and is a real all-round talent.

After Kigami Masuji entered KyoAni, he made many rules for the company——

[-]. Abandon the training system of elimination and insist on not dismissing any newcomers.

Provide them with a guaranteed salary that exceeds the industry average level, and effectively protect the rights and interests of newcomers.

The life-threatening piecework system does not exist in Kyoto.

Second, tell the employees all the time to integrate their emotions into the character creation.

Use the form of animation to convey the power of dreams.

Third, no matter what position you are in, you must devote yourself to every frame of animation, and fully implement your own ideas.

To come up with a fighting spirit for the challenge.

Oh my god, what kind of fairy supervision is Masaki Kigami?
……

Later, the top original painters brought out by Kigami abound, and it is precisely because of his training system that he has laid a solid foundation for KyoAni in the future.

To be honest, if there is no Kigami Masharu, the current Qing Zhiyuan would not consider KyoAni, an animation production company, at all.

But if this person is there, everything will be different.

After putting in the videotape, a beautiful picture appeared on the TV.

Under the cherry blossom tree, Kurai Yue held the baby, with sadness written all over his face.

A piece of cherry blossoms flies up with the wind, and the camera also rises. The petals of the cherry blossoms are flying, leading the camera to rotate.

In the next second, the whole scene changed drastically.

Among the blazing flames, Yuumu Ling held a bow and arrow, and shot out with one arrow, the cherry blossoms were swept by the air current...

The camera changes again, and Yamata no Orochi stands proudly on the sea.

Asakura held the Dharma sword in his hand, Shikigami behind him, Yuumu Ling and Bailang rushed forward.

……

Wow, Qing Zhiyuan still hasn't come to his senses until after reading it.

In less than 20 seconds, it showed a very excellent and perfect lens language.

At the same time, it is impeccable in terms of color matching and character modeling.

Ok……

Qing Zhiyuan flipped through the script storyboard they made.

Although there is only a simple content that cannot be said, the extremely high level of animation can be seen from the storyboard.

It's worthy of KyoAni, it's worthy of Masayoshi Kigami!

……

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan has basically made a decision in his heart.
