Chapter 140: The Transition Chapter Doesn't Remember the Name
The farce about Diao Kun was like ripples on the surface of the lake, leaving no trace in Li Er's heart at all. After the selection of male voice actors, the next step is the highlight, the selection of several leading actors.
Li Er also looked at the resumes of the contestants early, and several of them were not bad. Although he is still a newcomer in dubbing, he has experience in acting, so he will not be trained from a blank sheet of paper.
But I didn't expect that in the actual selection, many players chose the role of Kewpie as their first choice.
Probably because the image of the cute beast is positive in people's hearts, and it may be because there are too many psychological activities of magical girls, which is more difficult to match. Novices instead think that Kewpie is the character that needs the least acting skills.
However, Kewpie is not an ordinary cute beast character, on the contrary...... It requires a lot more weight than a normal human character. The voice actor of the original Kuppy, Eimirari Kato, is not so much good at acting, but rather because the sound quality and performance method accidentally meet the requirements of the new house and the old void for Kewpie.
This is all to blame for Lier's failure to specify the identity of Cuppy in order to avoid spoilers. Of all the judges present, only Xin Fang and he knew the true face of this story.
There was no way, he could only let the participating voice actors try a few more roles. After the auditions, he really discovered a few good voices, among which the voice actor of Madoka Kakume, the role that was originally contested was Kewpie.
After getting the voice actor selected, Li Er continued to devote himself to the intense and busy animation production work.
Madoka Magical Girl, which has increased its budget, has a very large workload, and the staff has to work in three shifts to complete the assigned work. And the quality of the drawing may not always be usable.
There are not many fight scenes in the first episode, but the prophetic dream scene at the beginning, because it is a very important foreshadowing, Li Er has also carried out a comprehensive picture quality upgrade. AMONG THEM, XIAO MEIYAN HAS HER BACK TO THE PICTURE, AND HER HAIR FLUTTERS IN THE WIND, AND THE RHYTHM OF EACH STRAND OF HAIR IS CLEARLY DEPICTED.
And then the question arises...... The picture quality is so high at the beginning, you can't just fool around with it later. Add a few frames to a scene, and the workload will go up slowly.
DOGDAYS is just a small animation company, and there are only four or five artists in the concept art department. In addition, the time is very tight, so the TV station should be better for them to put it on. Seeing that a week and a half had passed, and only a quarter of the progress had been achieved in the first episode, Li Er was furious.
After scolding the high-level staff, Li Er called everywhere to see if there were any original painting companies that could accept outsourcing, or idle original artists. But it's all this time.,There are new companies everywhere.,Small companies like them.,People aren't willing to cooperate with them.。
Li Er has also seen that there is such a thing as not being able to find a company to help you paint with money. His network is still too narrow, and he will be blind whenever he encounters something.
In the end, it was Tamura's children who solved this problem for her.
There are a number of animation companies in Japan that do color outsourcing, and a few of them also do concept painting. But domestic animation companies, still don't dare to give the original painting package to foreign countries to do, one is for confidentiality reasons, all the original paintings have to be kept by air transportation, handed over to foreigners to do the cost of not to mention, I don't know if the quality of the other party can meet their own requirements.
Besides, domestic original paintings can already ensure the needs of animation companies, and they don't need to find Japanese original art companies.
Tamura used to work part-time at an animation company in Japan, so he was able to get in touch with his old club smoothly. It just so happened that the Japanese side also wanted to open the Chinese market, and gave a very low price, and the two hit it off and soon verbally agreed to sign the contract.
The other party attached great importance to this contract and immediately rushed over by plane. In line with the principle of efficiency first, Li Er immediately asked the lawyer and the translator to draft a Chinese-Japanese bilingual contract, and after both parties saw that there was no problem, they signed it.
After the first batch of outsourced original paintings came, the supervisor excitedly told Li Er that they had found a treasure. The quality of the drawings made by the Japanese outsourcing company is very high, and there is basically no need to revise the finished manuscript. And it can also be done and colored, and then directly sent back to China in the form of a file. Come and go, save a lot of effort.
Seeing that the broadcast date of the first episode is approaching again and again, the production of episodes 1 and 2 is also nearing completion. The whole company was nervous. It's not the first time they've done full-time animation, but the shadow of their last failure still lingers in people's hearts.
There was nothing Lear could do about this heavy pressure. Perhaps only real success can wash away this shadow.
Before the animation was almost finished,The catalog of the new January was also revealed in various media.。 Although January is not a big head, there are as many as 56 animations serialized in this schedule, and the highlight of it is naturally "Super Steel ZAMPAS!" by Shangjing Pictures. Whether it is on Weibo or magazines, you can see the passionate appearance of the male protagonists drawing their swords and fighting. This original machine combat animation, both the lineup and the publicity are unexpectedly luxurious, and there is not even a PV (trailer) yet, and there are countless releases on the Internet saying that this must be another million-level masterpiece.
In response, Lear gently let out a very impolite air flow sound through his nose.
The column of "Madoka Magical Girl" is on the last page of all anime, although it is not the last, but it is only the size of a fingernail. The production company can't see it at all.
But that's okay, although DOGDAYS is quite famous among consumers, it is not a very glamorous reputation.
After the list of new episodes was announced in January,Immediately there was a discussion on the Internet about chasing that one.。 The top three are undoubtedly "Super Steel" and the popular manga "Steel Forest" and "Zombie Rat". And "Madoka Magical Girl" has gained a little attention because there are no other magical girls besides it this time.。 But many of them said that if the first word is not good-looking, they will abandon it. Li Er was also very helpless about this.
Anyway, their company also got into the production of PV.
PV is also short for Promotion_Video (promotional video). A good PV generally has a clear theme and an extremely comfortable rhythm. While grabbing the audience's attention, try not to spoil them. Some PV lights are a work of art in their own right, but that kind of PV Li Er has only heard of.
If you want to save effort, you can just cut the finished materials and connect them, which is also the case for many companies.
But they can't do it...... Because a lot of words are not finished!
As of today, they have only completed the work of 1 or 2 episodes. And because there are too many action scenes in the 3 episodes, the production cycle will definitely have to be extended. If they still want to draw original materials, then the release will have to open the skylight with the final episode!
This is absolutely not possible!
The company's first animation used to go ashore actually dragged time with a general episode or something.,If you want to go out of business, say it earlier.。
So they can only use 1 or 2 words plus some 3 words of material to make PV. Fortunately, Xin Fang also had the idea of misleading (?) the audience, and was ready to make a warm and healing PV video.
And Xinfang doesn't care how much material there is at all. This provincial budget maniac originally planned to use a few vertical paintings of character settings, plus a few lines of words and a little special effects to do PV. Isn't this the same as GLGAME...... Li Er, who was the behind-the-scenes investor, couldn't afford to lose that person, so he hurriedly asked Xin Fang to take something more formal.
Then he went to station B to take a look, but he didn't expect that the new house in another time and space was really like this. Suddenly, Li Er's face turned into an embarrassing word.
