Chapter 19: Prelude to SD Mania

Lin Tianyi has been in Japan for half a year, and this day is the winter vacation of the school. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lin Jun, are you going to play somewhere during the winter vacation?" Nana Kondo asked.

Lin Tianyi was stunned when asked, he really didn't think about where to go to play during the winter vacation, and it has basically become his law to go back to draw comics every day.

"Perhaps." Lin Tianyi said this for no reason.

Nana Kondo frowned, pondering where "maybe" was.

"Nana, what about you?" Lin Tianyi asked.

"Nana is going to Hokkaido for skiing and hot springs." Nana Kondo raised her little hand and said very excitedly.

"It's a good choice to soak in the hot springs." Lin Tianyi said, and couldn't help but think about whether to ask Qin Ye and Mieko Shiraishi to go on a trip to the hot springs together, after all, he hadn't gone out to play for a long time.

And Nana Kondo separated, and returned home.

In the past six months, according to the rate of basically one single volume per month, "Inuyasha" and "Slam Dunk" have both come out in the sixth volume, and "Spicy Teacher GTO" has only debuted as a single book in the fifth volume.

For Lin Tianyi, data is already a floating cloud. All three comics are already on the right track, and the data is naturally rising, and there is no way to resist their existence at all.

"Teacher Lin, you're back!" Fujimoto Yukimura stood up and bowed.

Fujimoto Yukimura was accompanied by a strange man.

"Let me introduce you to Oura Sugida, the head of Toei's planning department." Yukimura Fujimoto introduced.

Lin Tianyi nodded and said; "I am Lin Tianyi, the author of "Slam Dunk", please advise."

Regarding the issue of the animation of "Slam Dunk", I had already called Lin Tianyi a day before Fujimoto Yukimura came.

"Haha, I've heard the editor Fujimoto say before, Mr. Lin is really a genius to be able to draw a work like "Slam Dunk". Sugita Oura didn't blush, and his heart didn't beat.

Of course, Lin Tianyi will not talk to Sugita Oura in this regard, there is no need to be modest or anything like that.

"Well, let's get down to business." Lin Tianyi got straight to the point.

"Yes, it's actually about the copyright of the animation of "Slam Dunk". Sugida Oura said.

"It's not a problem, I'm concerned about whether my work will be distorted. As you probably know, many manga have received a very unsatisfactory response after they have been animated. Lin Tianyi said.

Sugida Oura snorted and said; "Yes, yes, we also know this problem you care about, but animation is still different from comics, directors, supervisors, etc. will have different understandings of the plot of the work, and the style and completion of the painters are also different, we will try our best to ensure that your work is presented in the best way." Sugida Oura said.

"I don't know much about animation, but I want to join your production team as an original work, and I need to have a say in the story and production of animation. I'm not interested in shoddy animations, by the way, by the way, what's your budget for each episode of animation? Lin Tianyi said, this can be regarded as to make up for the regret of his previous life, in the previous life, "Slam Dunk" did not have a national competition, the reason is because Inoue Yuhiko was not satisfied with the 101 episodes of "Slam Dunk" produced by Toei, and took back the production rights of the national competition. So Lin Tianyi put forward a request to join the production team, he personally likes "Slam Dunk" very much, of course, he wants to turn it into a work with no regrets as much as possible.

"Eh, Mr. Lin, do you want to join the production team? Won't that delay you from updating your comics every week? Sugida Oura said with a look of surprise.

"That's not a problem, I just want my work to be more perfect, in every sense." Lin Tianyi said lightly.

Fujimoto Yukimura also helped; "Sugida-san, Mr. Lin's painting speed and painting quality are beyond the standard, what are you hesitating about this kind of good thing?"

Sugida Oura instantly understood what Fujimoto Yukimura meant; "Got it, I'll inform the company about it. As for the budget for each episode asked by Mr. Lin before, although it is a secret in the industry, it is not impossible to say. The budget is about 15 million yen per episode, and the actual cost is about 10 million yen. Sugida Oura didn't hide it from Lin Tianyi, after all, if Lin Tianyi really wanted to know, it wasn't that there was no channel for investigation, and he couldn't do that kind of superfluous thing.

"What does it mean to budget 15 million yen, but actually use 10 million yen?" Lin Tianyi's voice was a little cold.

Qin Ye saw that Lin Tianyi was going to be unhappy, so he hurriedly pulled him aside and said in a low voice; "Oh my God, this is the rule of the industry. Animation production companies find investors to raise funds for the production of animation, and their animation production companies will appropriately draw some money. โ€

Lin Tianyi was displeased; "The 15 million budget draws 5 million, which is too much. While I don't know how much an anime is appropriate, the more the merrier, right? In this way, they are completely using the production of my work as a cover to attract money for themselves. โ€

Qin Ye was speechless, what Lin Tianyi said was really right, he didn't expect that the people from Toei would be so excessive this time.

Back to the talks.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sugita, I can't accept your approach, I don't know if the budget of 15 million is too much or too little, but I can't bear to draw this kind of thing for 5 million." Lin Tianyi is very direct.

Sugida Oura has never seen such a cartoonist.,Although Lin Tianyi's works have been very popular in the three major magazines in the past six months.,It can be said that each one has the popularity of super popular works.,But comics are only animated to be the right way.,Comics without animation are incomplete works after all.ใ€‚ They are also famous in the circle of animated comics, and there is a lot of water in the animation of this kind of thing, and as long as there is a little water in painting, music, etc., you will save a lot of money.

"Teacher Lin, please think about it again, if there is anything we can talk about." Sugida Oura was also nervous, after all, this was his first time in charge of an animation production project, and he didn't want to be considered incapable by his boss just a few days after taking office.

"It's okay to talk about it, but I hope Toei will show sincerity, and I think you Toei are not only a production staff in the production of this animation, but also participated in the investment. So I'd like to have at least 13 million yen for 15 million yen as a budget, otherwise I'm really not interested. โ€

"This ...... This one. Sugida Oura said hesitantly, it wasn't that he didn't want to give Lin Tianyi an answer, but he didn't have the right.

"It's rude, please let me call." Helpless, Sugita Oura could only inform his boss of Lin Tianyi's meaning.

"Yes, yes." I saw Sugida Oura nod in response to a few words, and then sat back down.

"Mr. Lin, I already know what you mean, and the president said that I can promise you this." Sugida Oura said.

Lin Tianyi nodded and said again; "When did the production start, and which TV station did it have?"

"As for production, we'll start from the moment you sign the contract, and the personnel are almost ready. As for the TV station, it's TV Asahi. Sugida Oura said.

"Oh, so your plan is to make Slam Dunk a summer season? There's still plenty of time. Lin Tianyi said.

There is indeed plenty of time, the summer season starts in April, and now it is the winter vacation, so there are still nearly four months to go. Of course, these four months do not mean that all the "Slam Dunk" animations will be produced at once, but the expected parts will be produced first, and the next step will be formulated according to the situation after the broadcast.

"Yes, it's not a rush in terms of time." Sugida Oura echoed.

"And how many episodes are your plan to make?" Lin Tianyi asked.

"It's expected to be 52 episodes, and this has to be adapted according to your comics under the condition that Mr. Lin keeps changing." Oura Sugida replied.

"Okay, there's no problem with me, the original author, being the painting supervisor and the script, right?" Lin Tianyi said.

"What...... What the! Mr. Lin, do you want to be the painting supervisor and script? That's a lot of work! Sugida Oura was shocked.

Whether the painting supervisor is serious or not can be said to be the key to the quality of an animation,Many animation adaptations of comics fail,Most of them are the dereliction of duty of the painting supervisor,After all, the animation director's dereliction of duty,At most, it will only reduce the level of animation completionใ€‚ The dereliction of duty of the painting supervisor is to directly make an animation collapse.,The setting of the characters.,The face shape of the characters.,Movements,These things all have to be corrected by the painting supervision.,The workload is not ordinarily large.ใ€‚

Speaking of scripts, this is equivalent to the script in a movie, how the animation is filmed, and how the plot is staggered, all of which are formulated by scripts. As for the form of expression, it depends on the director's play.

"It's okay, I'll finish the script before the end of winter break, and I'll come up with about ten episodes before the end of winter break. I'll draw the key shots myself, and I'll leave the transition shots to the artist you found. After all the shots are done, just leave it to me to correct. Lin Tianyi said confidently.

Sugida Oura doesn't know what to say anymore.,Where is their company to produce animation.,This is simply Lin Tianyi's self-made animation.,Script,Performance,Storyboard,Painting supervision is contracted single-handedly.,It's just not a way to live.ใ€‚

"Yes, since Mr. Lin has this request, we will try our best to accommodate you, if there are no other requirements, I will bring the contract to sign tomorrow?" Sugida Oura said.

Lin Tianyi nodded, signaling that there was nothing left.
