Gotta Go the Healing Route

The process of animation production is very complicated, and the project is divided into multiple periods.

Take the previous stage as an example.In the early stage, it is mainly to create the story and establish the shape, and establish a clear guiding direction for the subsequent production.

And creating a story, that is, coming up with a script is the core of the early stage.

At this stage, editors, directors, producers and other people need to work together to develop creative inspiration, and then gather inspiration and write a script to establish the logic and plot direction of the story and enrich the details of the story.

However, compared to the specific story line, the first part of script creation is to determine the theme.In other words, it is the intention before writing: what is the main theme of the story and what does it want to express.

It's not until the vision is established that the story begins to develop.

The difference between producers Gao Muliang and Qian Jingzeji lies in the conception.Or... the debate between artistry and commerce.

"Oppose war, yearn for peace, explore the ethical issues brought about by the development of science and technology, and the impact of science and technology on human nature and the environment. Gundam's works have come here, and all of them express such profound connotations. These connotations cannot be discarded."

"However, our goal now should be to restore the market and cater to the audience's preferences. We can only think about this after we determine the market and re-diverge our influence."

Gao Muliang decided to adopt the traditional idea, but to start anew on the story.

Qian Jingzeer felt that he needed to change his thinking and add elements that are popular with the market. On the contrary, some other heavy things should be appropriately cut.

Listening to the narration of the two, Xi Kazama, who was sitting on the side listening silently, felt extremely familiar.

Not to mention that Gundam has an IP in this different time and space. As soon as robot animations appear in the world, even if there is no Gundam, there will be robot themes such as Low Gundam and Zhongda.

But there is not only Gundam in Different Time and Space, but also Risheng Company, and the development trajectory is so similar to the previous life: the classic IP has declined, and Risheng tried every means to save this IP.

Of course, Kazama Xi knows all about the results of the similar stages that Risheng and Gundam went through in the previous life.

But looking at the different time and space, Gao Muliang and Qian Jingzeji are arguing at this node, Kazama Xi still feels very magical.

"Kazama-kun, what do you think?"

When Kazama Xi was in a trance of memories, Gao Muliang suddenly brought the topic to Kazama Xi.

Qian Jingze Er also cast his eyes on Kazama Xi.

Although the young man next to him is only a high school student and will not graduate until next year, Qian Jingzeer dare not underestimate him at all.

In an open creative environment, and under the standard that grades are king, this creative circle is not simply based on rankings.

As long as there are achievements, there is status.

Needless to say, Kazama Xi's achievements are not limited to the cartoonist industry, but also belong to one of the most powerful creators this year.

"What do I think?"

Kazama Xi didn't expect that he could be involved in the internal planning of Risheng Company, so he was slightly taken aback.Looking at the serious looks of the two people in front of him, I still really want to hear my opinion.

"This..."

If it really follows the development trajectory of the previous life, Kazama Xi really knows the answer to the debate between the two.

Thinking of this, Kazama Xi put down the cup.

"Mr. Takagi, Mr. Qianjing, do you want to hear my views on this issue from the perspective of the creator or the perspective of the producer."

"Creators and producers?"

Gao Muliang and Qian Jingzeji glanced at each other, and then Gao Muliang said:

"Tell me about both."

"It's just a personal opinion." Kazama Xi added.

"From the creator's point of view, it is naturally as Mr. Takagi said. I just need to make good enough works. From the artistic point of view, the previous generations of Gundam works are extremely successful. I don't need to say more about this. "

"From the producer's point of view, the quality of the work must of course be maintained, but more attention should be paid to the audience. Animation production is essentially a channel and tool for making money for the company. If it is done, commerciality is still the top priority Heavy."

In fact, what Kazama Xi said was all nonsense. As a senior industry insider, both of them understood what Kazama Xi said.

But it doesn't matter, because Kazama Xi is just expressing his point of view tactfully: he is more inclined to Qian Jingzeer's commercial thinking.

Commerce is always supreme, and art is poor to death.

As sad as it is, this is the general status quo of the industry.

In other words, the development of entertainment, which has its own commodity attributes, in this way is itself obeying economic laws.

Works for the public only focus on the work itself, which is definitely not the right way out.

It is definitely one of the saddest things for an economically-oriented company that the work is well-received but not well-received.

However, contradictions are the unity of opposites. In fact, truly excellent works are not a one-way development of commerce and art, but a combination of art and commerce.

While making the story cater to the market, it can output enough connotations.

But this is nonsense, because everyone knows that this is the right way, but it is another matter to do it.

However, the point of view insisted by Gao Muliang and Qian Jingzeji is also worth pondering.

As a producer, Gao Muliang, who has to consider economic factors even more, would stand on the side of artistry.As a screenwriter, Qian Jingzeer is more considerate of commerciality.

Hearing Kazama Xi's words, Gao Muliang was slightly taken aback, while Qian Jingzeji's eyes lit up.

Before Feng Jianxi could continue, Qian Jingzeer had already asked:

"Then Kazama-sensei, what elements do you think are popular... or what are the audience's favorite points? From your point of view."

This question is equivalent to a straight ball, and I am asking Kazama Xi for advice on this.

"It is of course the characters that can most affect the audience's interest. Especially the protagonist."

Kazama Xi said:

"As the main perspective of the story, the protagonist can do what others can't, and has enough ability to lead the people around him out of the crisis."

The answer given by Risheng in the previous life was Gundam Seed, and one of the main points of Seed is undoubtedly the protagonist.

People pursue the strong and those who shine.Shine enough to be the protagonist of an idol.

"The protagonist's abilities, or weapons and moves should also be cool enough."

In robot works, this kind of thing represents the body.

Machine design is one of the most important reasons for the success of seed.

In the previous life, no matter how fierce you sprayed the black powder on your seed, you didn't obediently choose the three phantom gods first when buying glue.

The idea of ​​human beings looking at faces can also be applied to robots.

It's all said here, and Kazama Xi doesn't mind doing more.

"Do you have paper and pen?"

Qian Jingzeer hurriedly called the waiter to come over with a pen and paper.

"Mr. Kazama, do you want to..."

Seeing Kazama Xi pick up a pen and draw a simple outline on the paper, Chika Sawaji and Takagi Ryo also instantly understood what Kazama Xi wanted to do.

Chapter 250 IX Will Destroy My Childhood Again?

First of all, let’s talk about the current Gundam machine in this different time and space.

The classic Gundam face still exists in this different time and space, but the overall appearance is the heavy industrial style of Yuanzu, with thick limbs and square torso, which can only be said to highlight a strong authentic style.

The color scheme is also very classic, blue, red and white, and the weapon configuration is relatively simple, shoulder cannon, beam rifle and shield.

From the perspective of a latecomer, it can only be described as 'rough'.

It's not that Risheng's artistic responsibility is not enough, but that there is still a problem of time limitations.

The progress in the design of later generations of airframes is also due to the overall progress of the entire industry relying on painting techniques and ideas.

In this era, in fact, such a robot mechanism is already the best in the industry.

But this is exactly where Kazama Xi's advantage lies. In terms of painting style and picture design method, Kazama Xi is in an absolute leading position.

Kazama Xi wrote very quickly.

Under the watchful eyes of Gao Muliang and Qian Jingzeji, a body quickly appeared on the paper.

That is a body that is very different from the current Risheng classic machine design.

Compared with the industrial-style Gundam, the body of Yu Kazama's pen is more slender and slender.The waist that was originally as thick as a bucket was replaced by a skirt armor.

The flat chest morphs into prominent peaks flanked by exhaust vents.The bulky shoulder armor has also been replaced by a more three-dimensional and slender shoulder armor.

Compared with the monotonous Gundam configuration, the fuselage described by Yu Kazama has a pair of spread wings behind it, and electromagnetic rail guns are stored on both sides of the waist.

Gundam face, with two small horns protruding from the classic V-shaped antenna.The proportion of the head and limbs should be more suitable for the 6.5 head and body of the human figure.

This is a generation of classic magic machine, Freedom Gundam.

Although it looks a bit like a Gundam DX body at first glance, but the excellent performance in seedzhong has made this body stand out from its own characteristics, and it can be said to be the most representative body of the species.

The first model that Yu Kazama bought in her previous life was Liberty.

Looking at the Freedom Gundam on the paper, Rao Kazama Xi also showed nostalgia in his eyes.

But he soon came back to his senses, put down his pen, and said:

"Character creation is one aspect, and machine design is another."

"If it caters to the audience's preferences, in addition to arranging the type of protagonist that the audience likes, the body must also be cool enough."

The germline body has similar characteristics and styles to the UC-type body, but compared to the UC-type body, the overall style of the germline body is more modern.

To put it simply, it is beautiful and slightly exaggerated. Compared with uc, it is less realistic.

However, the seed is a work that is trying to be commercialized, which is fine. In other words, such a mechanism itself is one of the important reasons for the great success of the seed in the previous life.

But following Kazama Xi's words, Gao Muliang and Qian Jingzeer fell silent.

Both stared wide-eyed at the 'Gundam' in front of them.

The boy's miraculous painting skills are enough to open the eyes of the two of them.Both of them are art majors, so they naturally understand the difficulty of creating a temporary composition like Kazama Xi.

Yu Kazama is a very prolific author in the entire comics industry. While maintaining the high quality of storytelling, his works have never stopped publishing.Especially now, it has gone a step further and double-opened two comics.Not to mention, the teenager is still a student.Schoolwork is also an important part of everyday life.

Now Gao Muliang and Qian Jingzeji both know the reason.

However, this is not what really shocked the two of them.

The visual impact brought by the picture is the most direct feeling for the concept of beauty.
