Chapter Seventy-Four: Hibiscus Society Manga Award and Godot (Part I)

Generally speaking, the production cycle of theatrical animation ranges from one year to three years, and the specific length of time depends on the production level of the production team, the meticulous requirements of the supervisor for the work, and the production budget of the entire project.

Of course, there are theatrical animations that take longer, but the ones that are more sophisticated, such as the theatrical animation Princess Mononoke, which was financed and produced by Tokuma Shoten, produced by Studio Ghibli, and Hayao Miyazaki as the original, storyboard, script and director, and its preparation and production began in '94, but it would have to wait until '97 to be released.

The most critical factor here is not supervision.,In fact, it has to be production funds.,A lot of animations hit the streets, in fact, it's not to blame the supervision.,Some things,The role of supervision is great.,Some things,Supervision is useless.,It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.,If there's no money.,Even if the superintendent wants to craft the work carefully, it's impossible.怂

So even if OHS Animation accepted Shizue Miyahara's original plan and entered the official production process from now on, I don't know how long it will take to actually see the finished film.

Anyway, the time will definitely not be short, unless they are shoddy.

After deciding that they wanted to use Shizune Miyahara's original plan, OHS Animation not only gave enough royalties, but also showed a detailed work arrangement, and they planned to complete the theatrical animation in one year.

For such a working schedule, Miyahara Jing personally has a more pessimistic opinion, the plan is a plan, and it is different from the actual production, and it is difficult to complete the bladeless emperor in a year.

As long as the problem is still in the qualifications of OHS animation, there are often various problems in the production process of animation production companies with rich production experience, not to mention the pure novice OHS who has never produced theatrical animation before, and has never even operated TV animation.

It may take a week to make a three-to-five-minute animated short film, and it is basically possible to produce a 24-minute standard TV animation in a month, but to make a 90-minute theater animation and ensure the quality of the work, the time spent is definitely measured in years.

The fundamental difference here is that the positions of the works broadcast on TV and those broadcast on the big screen are different from those broadcast on the big screen, the quality requirements are also different, and the audience's evaluation criteria are also different.

But no matter what, since he has adopted his own original plan, Miyahara Shizun is still very much looking forward to what kind of work OHS animation can produce, but no matter how much he looks forward to it, he can't wait for their film to come out with anticipation like a loyal fan.

This is actually the same as the previous ancient city of Thorn King, after throwing the original case to them, they can only be tossed blindly by the other party.

After all, it is a crucial period for the development of the Hibiscus Society, and there are many things that need to be dealt with by Miyahara Jing, especially recently, and many daily affairs have also been pressed on him.

This is mainly because the vice president Yoshishi Nabosu is very busy now, and Kubo and Jun Miyahara are arguing with Ren Tangtian.

The frequency of Miyahara Jun's leave this month is the same as that of Miyahara Jing, I really don't know if she can graduate from high school smoothly, Lijiao and Kawasumi have completely different requirements for students, and the former's specifications are very high.

Vice President Kubo's main focus was on business negotiations, and many things at Hibiscus naturally had to be handled by Miyahara herself.

No way, exertion is a must, and the only benefit is that you can choose one of the two types of toil.

From May to August last year, the Hibiscus Society only had one girl's comic magazine.,So there is a serious lack of comic manuscripts.,The Hibiscus Society also has the problem of a shortage of serialized cartoonists.,For this reason, Miyahara Jing not only opened two serials by himself.,At the same time, he also threw out a few original cases to make up the number.,This is enough to make up the number of works serialized on Seemare.怂

But now, such a crisis is unlikely, but the opposite problem has arisen.

Since the beginning of this year, the circulation of Hibiscus Society's manga magazine has increased N times compared to last year, which has actually led to several problems.

On the one hand, the number of employees and the size of the company have not kept pace with the expansion of manga magazine sales, and various departments are facing a shortage of manpower.

Of course, they've been recruiting so far, and now there's a huge shortage of office space in that small office building, and it's crowded like canned sardines.

This matter is not so easy to solve, it can only be done step by step, who let them expand like blowing up balloons.

The second aspect is the lack of a comprehensive serialization platform.

Or rather, the serial platform is insufficient.

At present, Hibiscus has two manga magazines in circulation, a weekly shonen and a monthly shouden, judging from the type, this has basically taken into account both aspects of the readership.

But in fact, it's not.,It's okay to distinguish this way from the gender of the reader.,But in terms of age.,Whether it's a weekly teenager or a monthly girl.,It's a "little" magazine.,Hibiscus Society doesn't have youth comics specifically for other age groups.怂

In addition, the two magazines of the Hibiscus Society are both long-term serialization platforms, and it is impossible to serialize short stories on a daily basis.

The first point is okay to say.,For the time being, it's good to assume that the Hibiscus Society has no intention of getting involved in the field of youth comics.,But the latter point is more troublesome.怂

The existence of a short story magazine is not so much aimed at certain types of readers as it is for the cartoonists of the Hibiscus Society.

In the current Hibiscus Society, the number of manga artists or newcomers who aspire to become manga artists is not necessarily exponential, but the number is really not small.

These cartoonists need a chance to get ahead, but firstly, the position of ME and Simariel on long-form serialization is always limited, and secondly, not all cartoonists have the ability to do long-form serialization at the first time.

Many cartoonists need to be cultivated step by step in order to grow up gradually.

The most basic people who fall into the category of "hobbyists" or "aspirants" are okay, because they really can't submit manuscripts that meet the standards, they can only start as assistants.

But there are still some people, if they are allowed to go directly to the long-form serialization, it may be a bit insufficient, but they can really draw, they have the desire to create, and sometimes they can come up with short works that can be seen, such works, manga artists must hope to be published, but for the time being, Hibiscus Society has no way to do this.

This is a more urgent problem, as a comic book publishing house, it should meet the requirements of cartoonists, you can't always let cartoonists bored and draw, to put it nicely, this can be said to let cartoonists hone their drawing skills, but after a long time, cartoonists are likely to have a grudge against the publisher because they can't see the opportunity to get ahead.
