040 Animation
Umezu Taichen?
Qin Han was about to put a piece of tuna stained with radish puree into his mouth, and after hearing the name, his whole person was petrified for a moment before continuing to eat.
I didn't expect to meet the big man in my previous life after eating.
Is it because this is the Nakano area where anime practitioners gather?
In his previous life, Umezu Yasutomi was an animation supervisor with a very low production volume and a very high status among a niche group.
He started as an animation officer at the grassroots level, and was promoted step by step, and has worked as a concept artist, painting supervisor, character design, storyboard performance, etc. He has worked on countless animations, from Mobile Suit Gundam Z to Madoka Magi-chan to White Box.
However, as an animation supervisor, he did not have many works, and he is really known for the three R18 animations known as the "Umezu Taisin Trilogy".
The reason why Umezu Taichen is praised by the otaku is because his R18 animation is not purely sensual stimulation to attract people.
The "Umezu Taichen Trilogy" has a lot of flashes that people talk about, from the world setting to the character creation, from the story narration to the action scenes.
Rather than seeing it as a mile that snaps without saying a word, it should be seen as a niche cult similar to Hollywood cult films.
However, in this parallel world, Umezu Taichen, who is drinking with Qin and Han, has not yet made his own trilogy.
After chatting happily for a while, Umezu Taichen suddenly said earnestly: "Teacher Qin Han, I really like your "Daily Reassuring Milk", are you willing to animate this work?" If you want, be sure to leave it to me! ”
What is the rhythm of this?
Animated?
A homo book with only forty pages of content.,Someone is willing to animate?
It's incredible!
In the previous life,The same work of Mr. Kishi Himura.,It's true that the animation called "Monday's Plumpness" was also made.。 But a few years after the release of the work, it went through a few CM fan exhibitions.
And it's just a network broadcast.
At this time, an uncle with a round head who looked like a kind old farmer in the countryside came to Qin Han's side: "Teacher Qin Han, our madhouse does intend to animate your work, today's gathering, let's discuss it informally." If you'd like, we'll talk more about it...... Ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself. ”
The uncle handed over a business card with both hands: "My name is Maruyama Masao." ”
Maruyama Masao, who used to work at the insect production animation company of Osamu Tezuka, later founded Madhouse, an orange legendary animation producer.
After the impact of Umezu Taichen, Qin Han's psychological quality has become much stronger now, and he has not set off too many waves in his heart. After all, he is a man who studied under Tsukasa Hojo, and Yuhiko Inoue and others are friends, and he has seen a lot of battles.
After Qin Han took the business card, Maruyama Masao said again: "Teacher Qin Han, Umezu is very sincere, he dreams of being an animation supervisor and making his own animation like raising a child." Before attending the party today, he whispered to me that if he failed this time, he would do whatever it took to become an animation supervisor even if he ran to do R18 animation! ”
Qin Han was suddenly a little entangled.
Wouldn't it be a pity that if I agreed to the request for animation, the butterfly effect caused the "Umezu Taisami Trilogy" not to be born? For gentlemen all over the world, they are considered sinners.
But when I think about it, why do I worry so much, if everything I do is a reference model from my previous life, what is the point of being constrained?
Thinking through this section, Qin Han readily agreed: "Okay, of course, it's a good thing that your works can be animated on TV and endowed with sound and color." ”
"Haha, Mr. Qin Han, when the animation production officially begins, I will definitely write a recommended article for you!" Yoshihiro Yonezawa also came over.
With the help of this well-known critic, the popularity will surely reach a higher level.
After the business was negotiated, several people's moods also relaxed, drinking and eating food, while chatting all over the world.
Qin Han also learned a lot of knowledge and interesting facts about the animation industry.
Nowadays, taking advantage of the economic boom, the two-dimensional entertainment industry is developing rapidly, and all kinds of investment hot money are also pouring in, and more and more people want to make cartoons to make money, and there are more and more TV stations broadcasting animations.
As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for major animation production companies, which are content producers, to meet the market with extremely inflated appetites.
Especially as a creative industry, good animation ideas are always in short supply.
Since originality is insufficient, then it is better to buy copyright and change.
Various novels, comics, and games are the focus of animation adaptations.
This status quo in the industry is the same as the online novel adaptation boom in the domestic film and television industry in China in the previous life.
It is precisely because of such market demand that the fandom created by Qin and Han, although it has not been out for a long time, has been favored by virtue of the topicality he has recently created, as well as the huge amount of communication and good reputation on the Internet.
Not long ago, TBS, also known as Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation, one of the five major private television stations in Toei, came to madhouse to find producer Maruyama Masao to take the lead in producing an animation in order to fill the gap in late-night animation programs.
Because the main purpose of this anime is to fill the gap in the schedule, and the secondary thing is to increase the ratings, TBS decided to produce only short animations of 4-6 minutes.
Because the time to watch an episode of animation is enough to make a bowl of instant noodles, so this kind of animation is also called instant noodles.
If it weren't for the production of instant noodles with little investment, I wouldn't have found Qin Han.
"Instant noodles are instant noodles.,It's unprecedented for the same people to be able to be animated.,Don't force too much.。 In the future, my manga will definitely become a really popular anime broadcast in prime time! Qin Han thought.
In order to reduce the risk, many investors are generally invited to make cartoons in Dongying. Behind the animation OP, the audience saw a huge list of "production committees", which is how it came about.
There is a god of Osamu Tezuka who owes 350 million to make animation, and he ...... with his sister-in-law, cough cough, is it a lesson from the past that he had to burst his liver and draw comics to repay his debts, and there are still a few people who dare to take big risks.
This time, the leader of the animation is TBS, but Maruyama Masao, as a producer, has the right and obligation to pull sponsors.
Now that the project has just begun, the only sponsor negotiated is the Tiger's Den.
After all, it's the first time that a fanwork has been animated.,If the work is popular.,It's a great thing for the entire fandom.。 Tiger's Den, as Toei's largest homo seller, will naturally benefit from it, so the attitude is very positive.
Of course, Qin Han hopes to attract as many sponsors as possible. That way, he can also pay more for the license.
