The host, who couldn't see the figure, asked in a rather relaxed tone, "Superintendent Kamiya, why do you want to write the novel yourself?" ”

Yu Kamiya sat in the center of the video screen, thought for a moment and explained: "I've also thought about handing over the creation of the novel to others, but when I conceived the animation storyboard, I realized that I couldn't write it myself, and the characters I created by myself are only understood by myself, and if I leave it to a novelist to write, I can't determine the positioning of this character in their hearts, isn't there a saying called "There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people", but I just want to convey my understanding of Hamlet to others.

"So why write novels in a way that works? You're an excellent animation supervisor, "RWBY", "Magical Girl Naye" and the most popular phenomenal animation in the whole of RB "Madoka Magica" are all from you, wouldn't it be more convenient to make it directly into animation? The picture is also more expressive, or is there any difficulty? ”

Yu Kamiya quipped with a chuckle, "Ah, of course the anime is already in the works." I want to write a novel mainly because there are so many things that this story wants to express, but this story is not destined to be a feature-length animation, so the novel is a supplement to the content of the animation. Haha, in fact, I am quite confident in the novels I write, and when I was a child, I often fantasized about becoming a well-known writer when I grew up, and now I may be able to fulfill this wish. ”

"Why did you choose this character for your novel "Knight Twilight", which is based on the famous British king Arthur?"

Yu Kamiya nodded: "This is a character biography novel, and it is also the part of the animation that cannot be produced and needs to be supplemented by the novel, and your question involves the setting of the official novel." ”

The host continued to ask in an exaggerated tone: "That's really interesting, what kind of setting does the official novel have to appear historical figures?" ”

Yu Kamiya smiled confidently and gestured with his hand: "It's just my personal fantasies, and when I watched other works, I suddenly thought, what kind of combat power would I have if I put the characters of this work in another work?" However, the conflict in the setting of the two works makes it difficult to realize such an idea, and it is better to compare the strengths and weaknesses of the characters in different works than to pull the authors of the two works out to fight. For example, even if a super comic book character with enough combat power to destroy the earth enters the comedy animation, what is it? Thinking about it, I was quite depressed, but I suddenly thought that there are characters who are set in the same world and are known all over the world at the same time! The answer is reality, RB's sword saint Miyamoto Yazo, Chinese martial arts master Li Shuwen, the famous Western monarch King Arthur, and similar to RB mythology, Chinese mythology, Western mythology, Sumerian mythology, Greek mythology, and so on. Of course, it is impossible to integrate combat power with these myths, so a relatively balanced combat power measurement system was created. ”

"Fate/Zero is a work that has been perfected under this system."

"I personally like the character of Zhao Yun in Chinese history, whether it is fictional or not, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has deeply portrayed this character in the hearts of every reader who likes the history of the Three Kingdoms of China, if such a character and the most famous king of Britain appear in modern times, what kind of conflict will occur! I find it funny when I think about this scene, so let's just create it! ”

The host replied in an excited tone: "I see, I generally understand this, in fact, I have a similar thought, what will happen if the sword master Miyamoto Musashi competes with a modern martial artist, maybe he will be defeated by a martial artist dressed as a vagabond, haha." The work of Kamiya's supervisor seems to be quite interesting.,Please let me read it~! ”

"Then let's enjoy the novel promotional PV directed by the superintendent Kamiya himself."

The video appears in the static propaganda PV created by Yuu Kamiya, the character lines and the passionate music make people feel as if they have come to the battlefield in person, and then the story of the still painting unfolds, pulling out the sword in the stone to become the king, and he is undefeated in a hundred battles. The kingdom was in decline and the lonely back of the knight king Altoria Pendragon resonated.

"Roughly fine." Akiyama Gojo nodded in satisfaction, this half-hour interview record took Yu Kamiya an afternoon and most of the energy of their Chiyo Shoten novel editorial department, the interview record went on for a whole afternoon, and the content that was originally more than three hours was cut down to about half an hour, picking out the content that was most interesting to readers.

He reviewed all the materials and made sure that there were no mistakes before handing them over to the editing department for processing, and placed them in a very conspicuous promotional position on the Chiyo Shoten website, and also contacted his partner bookstores to prepare for the sale and promotion of the physical novel.

The animation production company has signed a contract with Chiyo Bookstore, and most of the novel promotion work is entrusted to Chiyo Bookstore, and he still maintains the full operation of "Madoka Magical Girl", it should be said that the operation of "Madoka Magical Girl" alone has made the animation production company of [Sora of Edge] anxious. This cooperation is barely a win-win situation, and in order to reach an agreement, the two companies have also negotiated a separate cooperation on "Madoka Magica".

Yu Kamiya doesn't ask how much the response to the novel is now.,Anyway, even if the "fate/zero" animation comes out completely, it's unlikely to exceed the current popularity of "Madoka Magical Girl", he became a god in the animation industry in District 11 through "Madoka Magica", and if you want to be famous, you want money and money, so the next thing should be when he is willful, continue to expand the scale of the company so that the excellent animation of the entire industry in the last world will be moved.

The production-related departments of the animation production company have been quite perfect, and with the support of abundant financial chains, it can naturally attract a steady stream of excellent animation production personnel, as well as the extensive network support of the production department, if you do not over-pursue the quality of animation, it is not a problem for the animation production company to produce two animations at the same time in the world "fate/zero" level in a quarter. At the end of "Madoka Magical Girl", Yu Kamiya had this idea, but the art department was short of manpower and didn't want to contract the animation background to an outside company, so he gave up, and the animation production company in the outside world didn't have the technology and experience of the animation production company, and the animation background produced could not fit the original painting.

The art department is generally responsible for the animation background, and the background is generally static unlike the characters, which means that the original artist only draws the "moving" original painting, and does not need to repeat the background for each original painting, and the art department is solely responsible for the static background, which can save a lot of effort. In addition, the art department of the animation production company is different, and Yu Kamiya has integrated some messy department personnel, such as mechanical setting personnel, in Gundam animation, it is impossible for all things to be in charge of the animation supervisor of the space battleship or Gundam, and the general original artist does not have the ability to draw professional-level mechanical paintings, so it is necessary for this part of the people who have a good understanding of mechanical art to design the mechanical part.

During the production of "Fate/Zero", Aoi Morishita was able to fix the shortage of talents in the art department as soon as possible, and strive to have the ability to produce two high-level animations at the same time in the next animation season. There are too many excellent works in the world, and it is impossible for Kamiya Yu to produce a good animation in a quarter and move it over in 20 years. (To be continued.) )
