Gotta Go the Healing Route

The mechanism of colocation in different time and space will not be stated too much here.The well-known Risheng Company in the previous life also existed in this different time and space.And it is already a well-known large production company in the industry.

Not only that, Risheng Company of different time and space still produced works of the Gundam series.That's right, Gundam also exists in this different time and space.The island country is still one of the birthplaces of robotics works.

Not familiar with the production company, Kazama Xi really wanted to ask if your company had a bald-headed supervisor, but in the end she couldn't help it.

For this man named Gao Muliang, Kazama Yuki had some vague impressions, and felt familiar.

"Mr. Takagi, this shouldn't be the first time we've met."

Takagi nodded: "Mr. Kazama has a good memory. The first time we met was at the annual meeting of Shueisha."

Kazama Xi also remembered that in January, at the annual meeting, Wushan Yunna' girl misfortune caused him to be surrounded by a group of producers, and Gao Muliang was one of them.

"Let me introduce others to the teacher..."

Gao Muliang didn't come to the door alone, but came with the main characters of the production team.

"This is Jiang Yuan, who is in charge of supervision." Gao Mu pointed to a middle-aged man who looked a little old.

Animation supervision is similar to the director of a movie, and is the highest person in charge of animation production.

Mr. Jiang Yuan also presented his business card with both hands.

"There is also Mr. Tamiya, who is in charge of supervising the creative process of the design, and Mr. Obayashi, who is in charge of script composition." Takagi pointed to the other two and introduced.

"Please give me your advice." The two bowed and said.

"Hello." Kazama Xi smiled and nodded.

"I'm Yu Kazama, and this is my editor, Ms. Uemura." Xi Kazama also pulled Uemura Aster to introduce herself.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down in the living room of Kazama Xi's apartment and formally chatted about animation production.

"As for the animation of "Magic Circle", we consider respecting the original work and trying to follow the original work as much as possible."

"I don't know if Kazama-sensei has any requirements or withdrawals for the animation of your work? If so, please let us know."

Gao Muliang's posture was very low, even flattering, which made Kazama Yuki suddenly feel a little flattered.

After all, Kazama Xi is only involved in the field of creation at present, and doesn't know much about the field of animation production.

In fact, the current situation in the field of animation production in Kana Kingdom is very similar to a certain stage of Japanese animation in Yu Kazama's previous life.That is to follow the production idea of ​​'original centralism'.

Don't look at it, the Kanna country animation market is booming now. In fact, behind this prosperity is the painful loss experience of countless animation companies.

The source of the loss lies in the original animation.

That's right, the current animation industry and investors adhere to a firm point of view: originality is a dead end.

Different from the information media era in the 21st century, this era is basically a dead end because original animations are difficult to promote and get feedback: the original animations of the theater versions of major companies are almost dead.

Compared with the original animation, the adaptation animation with the original work is just the opposite.If the production can keep up, it is basically lying down and making money.

After all, an adaptation means taking a ready-made original work—generally a well-known manga.This is equivalent to the safest script and the best pre-advertising platform.

It is obvious which one is more economical and labor-saving, an animation that tens of thousands of people know what it is before it is filmed, or an animation that needs to be promoted from scratch.

It is for this reason that producers in the circle are extremely enthusiastic about famous cartoonists, especially popular cartoonists with masterpieces in hand.

In a sense, Kazama Xi is almost equivalent to the producer's food and clothing parents.

"Requirements? I don't have any requirements here."

"I am very happy to see that the animation respects the original work."

Yu Kazama wasn't too worried about being turned into an animation.After all, a big company like Risheng has a mature production team.

Next, I also watched Kazama Yuki's original anime adaptation of Kanakoku, but the original work basically didn't get destroyed.

In fact, this is also related to the current situation in the production industry. Because of the failure of original animation, most production companies adopt an extremely conservative approach even in adapting animation.

An Anxin can definitely make money by following the rules, so why take risks to work hard?

Like the famous "original shredders" of later generations, such as Oshii Mamoru and Kodachi Ukyo, if they live in this different time and space, they will definitely be expelled from the industry within a few months.

Animation production is completely different from manga creation. Although the story of the adaptation animation is carried out around the original work, after all, the producer needs to animate the static picture and add various sound effects.

It's a pity that Kazama Xi's golden finger doesn't involve rhythm, and she can't completely copy the animation of "Magic Circle" in her previous life.

After all, in the previous life "Magic Circle", in addition to the gods in the plot, the music in charge of Yuki Kajiura is also one of the cornerstones for this work to achieve such a great success.

But there are some things in the world that cannot be forced. The person in charge of the music department of the animation, Yu Kazama, also asked. He is a veteran arranger in the industry.

The camp of voice actors is also very strong, and all the voice actors are invited.

On the whole, the production team of "Magic Circle" is perfect, and it can be seen that Risheng attaches great importance to "Magic Circle".

Takagi even offered Kazama Yuya an original work consultant position, and invited Kazama Yusuke to visit and guide the production site if he had time.

Naturally, Takagi's polite words would not be taken seriously.The interlacing is like a mountain, let alone whether the production team is really willing to let him participate in the production.Kazama Xi herself would not arbitrarily intervene in fields she was not familiar with.However, with such a status as a consultant, you can get a salary for nothing, and Feng Jianxi is also happy.

As for the release promotion after production, Shueisha will handle these, so there is no need for Kazamaxi to worry.

Next, Gao Muliang began to state some production ideas and planning outline.

"Our plan is to make "Magic Circle" into a twelve-episode short animation."

"The animation style is naturally based on Kazama-sensei's original work..."

"In addition, we are planning to promote the PV and the OP part in the style of orthodox magical girls. What do you think?"

Gao Muliang spoke clearly and logically, and even proposed a plan of fraudulent propaganda.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the comic version of "Magic Circle" has a cute style of painting. The meaning of the warm and daily life in the early stage is to deceive readers. It creates a huge contrast with the subsequent plot, highlighting a magical turning point in the story.

Animation production naturally also considers this aspect, so Takagi Ryo simply passed on the fraudulent nature of Rubik's Circle comics in the early stage of publicity.

In fact, this kind of fraudulent propaganda is also considered a stroke of genius for animation.

After all, television is somewhat more pervasive than comics.Some people who don't have the habit of reading comics like to watch TV animation, this kind of fraudulent propaganda can also have the best effect.

The pre-publicity of "Magic Circle" in the previous life was like this, and Kazama Xi naturally nodded in agreement.

And as the chat between the two sides progressed, the topics began to diverge.From the planning and production idea of ​​magic circle to the simple production field.

It seems that Yu Kazama is very interested in animation production, and Takagi is also happy to talk about it.

"Actually, animation production is not so mysterious. Our production site is similar to that of Kazama-sensei and your manga artist's studio, but the staffing is more complicated."

"In terms of the construction period, we usually produce multi-talk plots at the same time, strictly implement the plan, and basically can catch up. Like your magic circle, Mr. Kazama, according to the plan, we can meet with a large audience in the spring of next year."

During the period, Kazama Xi also mentioned the original animation.When this topic was mentioned, Takagi Ryo, the producer, couldn't help but sighed.

"Mr. Kazama, you don't know that animation production is different from manga creation. The most obvious is the cost. The investment in each animation is very huge. Once it fails, it will be a huge blow to the company. In the industry, dare to do it. The original ones are those animation production companies with the support of the parent company and strong capital. As for other companies, making an original animation is basically blocked by social movements.”

"So, in the industry, it is very difficult to pass a project without an original work. Even if those producers and scriptwriters have a good script, they must first submit it to a magazine and accumulate a certain reputation."

Like Japan in Kazama’s previous life, in the 80s and [-]s, when the original work centralism was popular in the animation industry, even Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, who were already well-known in the industry, wanted to make "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", and when the plan was submitted to the superior, I was immediately beaten back on the grounds that "there is no original work".In the end, the two had no choice but to start serializing for two years, and after the manga of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" aroused repercussions, they were able to shoot animation.

"So..." Gao Muliang said with some emotion:

"If there were no talented cartoonists like you who brought popular original works, the industry would not be what it is now."

Although Gao Muliang was flattering Kazama Xi, most of the flattery was sincere.

Don't look at the boy in front of him who is underage, just a high school student, but his grades are real.Now its two completed comics are popular in the eyes of major animation production companies, attracting countless colleagues to compete for production rights.

Like "Magic Circle", as long as it is produced, with Kazama Xi's fan base, in addition to recovering the cost, it can also make a lot of money.

In addition to this "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", the boy in front of him also has another "Death Note" that is also of top original standards.

Even if Shueisha still has some concerns, in the eyes of a group of professional producers like Takagi Ryo, animation is a matter of time.The key depends on which company the production right falls into.

Regarding production rights, cartoonists also have a certain right to speak.Although generally speaking, it is difficult for cartoonists themselves to influence the animation decisions within Shueisha.However, a top-notch manga artist like Kazama Yuki might be out of the question.

Being close to the water is the first thing to do, anyway, Gao Muliang is now taking advantage of this opportunity to get close first, to see if he can improve his friendship.

"You have won the award." Kazama Yuki said with a smile: "Speaking of original animation, doesn't your company also have animations of the famous Gundam series?"

Risheng was originally a company famous for producing robot-themed animations in its previous life, and this is the same for this different time and space.And the supervisor seems to have a bald head.It's just that the name is different from the one in the previous life.

Although Kazama Xi was a compliment, Takagi Ryo was a little embarrassed.

Robot-themed works have indeed been popular for a long time since its birth, and even Risheng became famous because of the Mobile Suit Gundam series.However, any theme is bound to decline, and robot-themed works are also in an extremely sluggish period.

The original animation of the previous Gundam was not satisfactory, and it can even be said to be dismal.

Although it is a child-oriented work, because of the true description of the cruel war and reality, the new generation of teenagers has gradually abandoned this IP.

The failure of the upper Gundam also hurt Risheng's vitality, so he had to gather his thoughts and start making an adaptation of the animation.

"To be honest, the Gundam series can be regarded as part of my childhood memories. It can be said that it has influenced part of my current creative thinking. Now that I have become a creator, I also have a lot of ideas about Gundam."

It's true to say that, Kazama Xi was considered a jerk in her previous life.If it weren't for this different time and space already having a Gundam, maybe he would also make a Gundam series.

"It's really my honor..." Gao Muliang replied softly, when he looked up at Kazama Xi, he found that the boy's expression was very serious.

Speaking of which, the work style of the teenager in front of him has always been known for its dark and cruel reality, and has some similarities with the Gundam series.

Could it be that he was really influenced by his own works in childhood?

Gao Muliang thought subconsciously in his heart.

...........

It was getting late, and the whole negotiation process was a joy for the host and guest, and Gao Muliang was also ready to put an end to this chat.

"In short, Kazama-sensei, just leave the animation production of "Magic Circle" to us. The final animation effect will definitely not disappoint you." Gao Muliang assured, patted his chest.

Kazama Yu also responded very politely: "Of course, Mr. Takagi is also a well-known producer in the industry, and I also have great confidence in your team's production standards."

Gao Muliang got up and took everyone to say goodbye, and Kazama Xi also sent them all the way to the entrance.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Takagi Ryo's production team left, an hour later, Yu Kazama and Aster Uemura were already sitting in the barbecue restaurant - this barbecue restaurant was the one that Akira Kitaoka brought them to a few months ago.

Eating barbecue is naturally to celebrate the animation of Kazama Xi's manga.

For creators, animation is a great joy that is enough to stand side by side with serialization and completion.

This represents a lucrative income and an increase in influence.
