Chapter 28: Preview Screening
The production of "Slam Dunk" has been going on for a while, and under Lin Tianyi's single-handedly taking over most of the work of animation production, to everyone's surprise, the production process was very smooth, and it may be nothing in the eyes of uninformed people, but in the eyes of director Nobutaka Nishizawa, it is too different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe was the only one in the working group who knew that Lin Tianyi was a kid and took over most of the work. In his opinion, even if Lin Tianyi is a comic genius who can draw such an excellent work as "Slam Dunk" that is rare in ten years, it is impossible to take on so much work in the animation production cycle.
But the facts slapped the director in the face, and he was shocked by Lin Tianyi, so he had to improve the quality of his work to respond to Lin Tianyi, after all, even a child can do his job so well, he, an adult, can't be perfunctory, right?
As a result, the entire "Slam Dunk" production team was tense and serious from the beginning. Nobutaka Nishizawa has a very high standard for judging the work he directed. Of course, in such a situation, the anime made no reason to make Lin Tianyi dissatisfied.
Screening room.
Lin Tianyi came to the Toei Animation Building with Qin Ye early in the morning, because director Nobutaka Nishizawa invited them to participate in the test screening. To be reasonable, for the test screening, Lin Tianyi is also participating in this for the first time, and she can't help but be a little curious.
The people in the working group who participated in the main production of "Slam Dunk" are all in the test screening room, waiting for the first test screening of "Slam Dunk".
"Mr. Lin, please come here." Nobutaka Nishizawa didn't have a big deal, and very politely invited Lin Tianyi to the VIP room, the picture in the VIP room was synchronized with the preview room, and the main personnel in it were the investors, directors and supervisors, who had a little power.
"Mr. Nishizawa, you're welcome." Lin Tianyi was not rude, a little polite, and walked in front.
"Who's that kid? Is it a relative of the investor? actually made Director Nishizawa so respectful. ”
"It can't be the young master of a certain consortium, right, because he likes anime, so he came here to have fun?"
"It doesn't look like it, but the possibility of the investor's relatives is much higher."
The test screening has not started yet, and the discussion about Lin Tianyi's identity has begun in the test screening hall. How else to say that gossip is the common language of the people of the world?
"Ahh A middle-aged man with a big belly, when he saw Lin Tianyi, put away the folding fan in his hand, and greeted Lin Tianyi with a round of honorific greetings.
"Mr. Lin, this is the representative of the investor, Mr. Sakata." Nobutaka Nishizawa added on the side, for fear that Lin Tianyi would offend him by not knowing the identity of the other party as an investor.
"You're welcome, Mr. Sakata, after all, you're an investor, but Mr. Sakata doesn't seem surprised that I'm a child?" Lin Tianyi asked with a smile, but this smile made Qin Ye on the side understand that Lin Tianyi was unhappy. After all, it was said that the identity was kept secret, but I didn't expect that in addition to the people who should know, the people who shouldn't know also knew, which made Lin Tianyi, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, a little unhappy.
"Alaala, where is this, Mr. Lin painted such a good work, and the contemptible people are also very curious, where is Mr. Lin Tianyilin, who painted such an excellent work? So I used my brain a little. ”
"Brains? I don't think so, it's not so much about using brains as it is about using financial resources. Lin Tianyi smiled, completely not believing that this middle-aged man who looked like a pig would use any brains.
"Teacher Lin is really amazing, he actually guessed it right. However, money is a good thing, as long as there is enough money, anything can be bought, whether it is credibility or conscience. You're right, Mr. Lin? Taro Sakata looked like a villain, and Lin Tianyi almost couldn't help but point at his nose and make a declaration of justice.
"There is no need to say more gossip, hurry up and start the test screening, everyone is in a hurry."; Lin Tianyi obviously didn't want to say anything more to this guy who didn't seem to be a good person.
"Ahh Taro Sakata said with a smile.
"Yes!" Nobutaka Nishizawa responded, and let people start the test screening.
Familiar opening, familiar scene.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui Shou, gorillas, and Miyagi Ryota appeared in the picture one by one, and Lin Tianyi couldn't help but be fascinated. He felt like he had gone back in time, back to the scene when he first watched "Slam Dunk". The blood on his body seems to be burning again for this anime.
The work of the preview screening is not complete.,There's no BGM and no dubbing.,OP,There's no ED.,These are all things that will start to be made after the test screening is over.。 After it is done, there will be a final test screening before the broadcast, and this time the test screening is mainly to avoid problems with the producer, and when it is confirmed that there are no problems with the production, the later changes will be simple.
"Mr. Lin, do you see if there is anything that needs to be modified or added?" Nobutaka Nishizawa asked cautiously.
Lin Tianyi came back to his senses and shook his head; "No, that's it, good enough, it's time for it to shine as it deserves."
"Alaala, it's really an excellent work, presumably the benefits will be amazing in the future, on all levels, are you right, Mr. Lin?" Taro Sakata is really an atmosphere destroyer, and he pulled out Lin Tianyi, who was still immersed in his feelings, in one sentence.
"Really? Isn't that the biggest return for Mr. Sakata as an investor? ”
"Hehe, contemptible people are here to congratulate Mr. Lin on the success of the single book of "Slam Dunk", and becoming a rich man is just around the corner."
"Thanks to Yoshiyan, Director Nishizawa, call me when the voice actor is selected, there's nothing else, we'll retire first. Uncle Qin, let's go. Lin Tianyi really didn't want to talk to Taro Sakata anymore, so after speaking, he turned around and left.
"Hehe, Lin Tianyi, what a cash cow." Taro Sakata's voice was inaudible, but his eyes were staring at Lin Tianyi's departing back.
On the way home.
"Uncle Qin, who is this Taro Sakata, do you know?" Lin Tianyi asked.
Qin Ye looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed and said; "Tianyi, I've heard of Taro Sakata, but it's not a good thing."
"Isn't that too good? Exactly? Lin Tianyi became interested.
It is said that this Taro Sakata was a young man who loved manga a long time ago, but later because his manga was always not serialized, he doubted his talent in manga. But surprisingly, there is no talent in comics, but in comic operations, his talent can be said to be unmatched. He can squeeze all the value of a cartoonist, and it is precisely because of this that he has been made a squeezer by our industry. The cartoonists who have been squeezed by him have a similar fate, that is, they have lost interest in the comic industry, and many potential cartoonists have been ruined in his hands. Qin Ye told everything he had heard, in his opinion, Lin Tianyi was safe, and it was impossible to become a tool in the hands of the squeezer Sakata Taro.
"Oh, that's the kind of person you are, isn't this the villain in reality? Is there no one to stop such a person? Lin Tianyi asked again.
"Stop? As long as there is no violation of the law, there is nothing to stop it, and in the eyes of many people, what he does is a normal business method. But for cartoonists, hey, ......" Qin Ye did not continue.
Lin Tianyi didn't ask any more, but secretly thought in his heart that it was best for Taro Sakata not to fall into his hands, otherwise he would definitely let him taste what it was like to be squeezed.
Lin Tianyi, who thought that he would not have anything to do with Taro Sakata for the time being, did not expect to receive a call from Yukimura Fujimoto, editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Jump, the day after the test screening.
