Chapter 355: Gundam Seed
Demon capital, Bilibili headquarters.
Wang Ming walked in the hall, the decoration with a very sci-fi color makes people feel like walking into the temple of science, and every step is atmospheric and majestic to step on the development of the times.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, but I didn't expect it to be renovated like this. Wang Ming admired the decoration of his company dizzily, and felt that everything was so fresh.
Since the funds of the two TV stations have been in place, Bilibili still has a lot left after filling in the second phase of the funds for the establishment of the server and the funds owed by the bank, and works such as Chunwu have also begun to generate income after landing on station B, which will completely reverse the deficit caused by the production of EVA, and the company will turn from debt to profit.
After the explosion of movies produced by UFO Table and the box office climbed, Bilibili was no longer short of money. This decoration is proof, you must know that the door face of station B is a white wall, bare and ugly, and the square in front of the building is not as colorful as it is now, just some weeds and dead trees, withered and cold.
"Boss early!" "Teacher Qingbai is early!" "Boss early!"
Everyone who saw Wang Ming smiled and greeted them along the way, and for them, there was nothing more reassuring than meeting this amazing boss in the company.
In the past four months, although Bilibili has developed well, without Wang Ming's guidance, it is like a ship sailing in the sea without a captain, without a direction to move forward aimlessly, and I don't know what the future will be. Now his return is like a needle in the sea, and everyone's hearts have settled down.
Taking the elevator to the office, it was almost the same as when he left, even the furnishings on the table had not changed, and he instantly regained the feeling of working here, which was good.
Today is July 7th, the day of the broadcast of "Gundam SEED", and the originally predicted 54 episodes have been cut into 52 episodes, which is exactly the length of an annual episode.
It can be seen from the character pictures released by Tokyo Pictures a few days ago that the other party pays great attention to the details of the characters, after all, it is an idol film, and the more beautiful it is, the better. In terms of body design, Wang Ming did not participate too much, and it was perfunctory to draw a sketch and hand it over to the other party. So after seeing the finished product, I feel very uncomfortable, although the general appearance has not changed, but many details have changed. Technology is advancing, and the design of mecha is changing with each passing day, but the body designed by the other party for Gundam Seed is more harmonious than I remembered, and I feel that this is good after adapting to it.
Of course, Wang Ming will not forget the matter of Gundam Singer, and after listening to more than a dozen voices from the other party, he chose a person with the stage name Hiratsuka Shizuka. One is because the person's voice is characteristic, and the other is because the name is familiar. Whether he had seen himself or just called it this name, this faint intimacy made him completely fall to this voice.
"Gundam SEED" Wang Ming is only responsible for the script, character design and part of the music, and the rest is all handed over to Tokyo Films, as their carefully prepared turnaround, presumably they will not deal with it casually, and will definitely do their best.
What will it look like in more than four months?
Regarding the upcoming broadcast of "Gundam SEED" tonight, Wang Ming has doubts but does not pay much attention to it.
He has only seen the Seed and 00 Gundam series, and Tokyo Pictures has not given an inch in terms of Gundam copyright, and has no idea of handing it over to others to make it, which makes Wang Ming feel extremely speechless, and naturally he has no taste for this piece.
In addition, many animation production groups have recently emerged in Dragon Country, and they have produced one animation after another under the name of major groups, which has really diluted a lot of market share, which makes people even more worried about the ratings of "Gundam Seed".
Fortunately, station B profited from the outbreak of this work, many works broadcast on the Internet chose to be released on station B, and every time these works are downloaded, station B can take 30% from them, which is not a lot of income, everyone in the company is very satisfied with this situation, station B is getting better and better, and their wages are naturally increasing, as for the quality of "Gundam SEED", what does it have to do with them?
……
Although Wang Ming doesn't pay attention, he doesn't represent everyone.
Since the successful conclusion of "Gundam SEED" at the end of June, Tokyo Pictures has begun to spread the publicity, especially the singing of Gundam singer Shizuka Hiratsuka all over the country, making this beautiful girl a household name. When the other party came to the demon capital, Wang Ming was invited to participate in the singing. When he performed on the same stage with this girl, he felt that this girl was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but recently he has spent all his energy on drawing manga and anime original drawings, and he has not been sleeping enough, so he didn't remember until the end.
After the nationwide tour, the names "Gundam Singer" and "Gundam Seed" resounded throughout the land of Dragon Country, and the anime became popular before it was broadcast, showing signs of a revival of Gundam.
Not content with the Gundam Singer tour, Tokyo Pictures also took anime dailies to major anime shows and linked Gundam Seed to the Fate series, which exploded in popularity.
"The original story, most of the setting and music of "Gundam SEED" were completed by Mr. Qingbai independently, and all the characters and bodies were also approved by Mr. Qingbai, and even Dongfang Ming, the head ......of Bilibili Animation, was full of praise for this animation."
"Although Mr. Qingbai did not participate in the production of "Gundam SEED", his shadow is everywhere in the animation. Whether it is the choice of Gundam singer, the design of the body, and even the characteristics of the animation style, the character characteristics are all in line with the consistent proposition of Mr. Qingbai. So I don't think it's going to be much better than Fate zero......."
"As a makeover of Tokyo Films, "Gundam SEED" has invested more than 5 million in a single episode, and invited well-known voice actors to star, which can be said to be an all-star lineup in the animation industry......"
Gundam fans cheer!
The fall of Gundam was a pity for these fans, but there was nothing they could do about it. The old painting style, the strange model, the itchy plot of the boots, and the awkward dance of the songs...... Counting one pile after another, it is not surprising that it will go into decline.
But that's different now.
Qingbai's works are watched with relish even by these iron fans who like robots, the mysterious world view, the moving plot clips, and the unique and sad fate of each person, and the admiration is only left with admiration.
When Qingbai's plot design, strong composition ability, exquisite character design, and Tokyo Film's robot model will burst out in the future, what kind of excitement will erupt?
The main theme of "Gundam SEED" is the war between humans and new humans, and the main theme is the emotional entanglement between the protagonists.
The spectacle is as grand as ever, but the audience is actually interested in the two new elements of the Gundam singer and the gorgeous mech. In today's rapid development of animation, only by bringing forth the old can we better attract the audience. Especially when the second round of quotations for "Fate zero" broke out in the industry exceeded 15 million, no one was not jealous, no one was not envious, everyone wanted to see what kind of plot the producer would design for such an expensive animation.
I can only look forward to tonight's release. 10
