The opening is good, you guys have the music dubbed as soon as possible, and give me a copy of the tape when the time comes. ”

"It's the president. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't expect that the animation production technology could be so good now, and the 60-second plot alone is not worse than some computer CG animations that I have seen in later generations.

It's a pity that 60 seconds is too little, but if it is broadcast on TV seven or eight times a day as a warm-up for broadcast in advance, I think that when the animation is ready to be produced and broadcast, it will definitely attract a large number of viewers to watch.

It's just that judging from the current progress, this episode will take so long, who knows when it will be done.

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen looked at Miyazaki and asked, "How many episodes can I do in a month now?"

Hayao Miyazaki and Yoichi Odabe glanced at each other, thought about it for a while, and said: "Under normal circumstances, you can do two or three episodes, and the average episode is about 20 minutes after removing the opening and ending credits." ”

"No, it's too slow, can you do at least six episodes a month?"

Huo Yaowen shook his head, this original book has been written for a few years, and more than 3 million words have been written, and more than 100 comics have been published.

Six episodes in January!!

Miyazaki's thought of the many fight scenes in the comic books he read and converted them into animation mode would have been too much work.

Comic books are stationary, and a picture with words is fine, but cartoons are not, whether it is the size of the light or the change of moves, they need to be drawn one by one.

Odabe Yoichi hesitated: "Yes, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of talent recruitment, and we can achieve two episodes a week." ”

"How many people?"

"According to the first episode we made, 200 people would be enough, but if there is a fight scene, I am afraid it will take at least 400 people. ”

Ahem......

Four hundred!!

Huo Yaowen pursed his lips, this number is really a bit much, even if you look around in Hong Kong, you may not be able to find 400 artists, let alone learn the style of Kyushu comics.

"What about four episodes a month?" Huo Yaowen asked.

Miyazaki thought for a moment and said, "If you recruit a little more, it should be no problem." ”

Four episodes a month, one week episode, counting the dubbing soundtrack, it's actually still in a hurry, but if there is a lot of plot and there are no fighting scenes, it can still be done.

"Then recruit people. ”

Huo Yaowen is now a little eager to see the next Kyushu cartoon, and he also waved his hand and continued: "If there are not enough people in Hong Kong, you can let Japan DreamWorks recruit people, and the two places can start work at the same time." ”

"But then the cost will increase a lot. "As the director of animation films, Isao Takada has to strictly control the cost, and when they were in Japan, they tried to keep the cost as low as possible, but the animation effect was great.

"The cost is not a big issue, it is important to get this cartoon right. ”

Huo Yaowen is not worried about whether he can recover the cost, after all, the IP of "Kyushu", whether it is in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, or Southeast Asia, already has a large number of fans.

Cartoons can be produced and sold to TV stations in these regions or countries, and the cost can be recovered, not to mention that the characters can be licensed to toy factories to make money later.

As soon as he heard the president say that the cost was not a problem, Takada Xun nodded and said, "It's the president, I will notify the Japanese branch as soon as possible and let them recruit a large number of people to produce Kyushu animation." ”

"Well, you guys make the first three episodes as soon as possible, and the dubbing and soundtrack are ready, and then I will broadcast them on Hong Kong TV. ”

Don't look at the current Phoenix TV station relying on the "Condor Heroes" audition activity, and the soon-to-end "Legend of the Condor Heroes", almost crushing TVB TV and Li's TV station at 6-9 o'clock in the evening.

But the ratings in the morning and afternoon are still not as good as these two stations, so Huo Yaowen wants to make the Kyushu cartoon as soon as possible, so that he can attract more audiences and increase the price of advertising time.

......

I discussed the details of the follow-up cartoon production with Miyazaki Hayao, Shangguan Xiaobao and others, and it wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon, before Huo Yaowen and Gu Long were about to leave, he went to see his sister Huo Tingting again, and saw that she was drawing pictures seriously, so he didn't bother.

"Yaowen, your animation company is really good. ”

After getting into the car, Gu Long still recited the short 60-second animation he had just watched, and said: "This is the first time I have watched cartoons and become obsessed, and Taiwan TV has also broadcast some cartoons, but they are all watched by children." ”

Huo Yaowen listened to his chatter while driving, and after a while, he was fascinated by him, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, this cartoon was originally shot based on Kyushu and comics, whether it is the painting style or the dialogue, it is almost the same as in the book, but it is just animated." If it weren't for the special effects now, I would have made a movie. ”

"Making a movie?!"

Gu Long's eyes widened and said, "You still want to make Kyushu into a movie?!"

He has also been a screenwriter for many crews in recent years, so he naturally has some understanding of movie shooting, so making Kyushu into a movie seems to him to be a fool's dream, and it's okay to say that he is flying away, how to shoot those pictures of ten thousand swords returning to their ancestors at every turn, and the chaos of heaven and earth?

Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Not now, doesn't mean it won't work in the future, you should have seen my science fiction movie "1999". ”

Gu Long said: "But it's a science fiction movie, didn't you tell me that they all use models?"

"Although many of them are models, the universe at the beginning can be used with computer special effects. ”

Gu Long shook his head and said, "I don't know any computer special effects, if you are going to shoot that day, you must tell me, I will also see how you shoot." ”

"Haha, okay, I'll call you then. ”

Huo Yaowen estimated that if it was to be filmed according to Tsui Hark's Shushan in 1983, it would take at least another seven or eight years.

"Where are we going now?" Huo Yaowen asked, turning his head.

Gu Long said: "Go to Yong Kee Restaurant, I have already booked a table." ”

"Who are they?"

"Chen Fan and Zhang Meng returned them. ”

Hearing that it was Zhang Meng and a few others, Huo Yaowen looked at Gu Long with a headache and said, "You won't get drunk again at night, right?"

"Haha, I would like to, but I still have to arrange the wedding tomorrow. Gu Long laughed.

It is said that he doesn't drink, but where there is an ancient dragon, how can this thing be missing?

As soon as they arrived at Yongji Restaurant, Gu Long asked people to serve a few bottles of liquor first, and when Zhang Meng returned them, the group killed seven or eight bottles, if it weren't for Huo Yaowen who had been by his side and said that he would not drink if he had something to do tomorrow, I am afraid he would also be drunk.

drank until more than ten o'clock in the evening, Huo Yaowen reluctantly sent people back one by one, and those who lived on Hong Kong Island opened a few rooms nearby and let them stay first.

I was busy until eleven o'clock before I got home.

......

Early the next morning.

Huo Yaowen got up early in the morning, exercised a little in the garden, and returned to the restaurant to prepare breakfast at the sound of Anna's call.

While eating porridge fritters, he opened the "Hong Kong Observer", his newspaper is currently selling more and more in Hong Kong, with a daily sales of almost 50,000 copies, although it is not as good as the "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" newspapers, but with a unique perspective to report all aspects of Hong Kong news, it also has a group of regular readers.

"Recently, the Governor's Office announced that the Queen of England and Prince Philip will visit Hong Kong next month......"

Seeing this, Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, why did this king come to Hong Kong so well? He couldn't help but say to Anna: "Do you know that the king of England is coming to Hong Kong in May?"

"You know, Brandt called me yesterday to talk about it. Anna nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Anna gave him a blank look: "If you came back so late, I would have slept a long time ago." ”

"Hehe...... Huo Yaowen laughed twice, he came back a little late last night, and he was afraid that she would pursue it, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "After eating, you find a set of clothes to clean up, and by the way, you can call Brandt and ask him to go to the Peninsula Hotel in the afternoon." ”

"Hmm. ”
