Chapter 407: Black Knights Declaration
Yu Kamiya was the first to come to the animation playback room, the room is quite spacious, full of stools with simple designs but empty, the playback room is shared by the company, basically animation performances are used to check whether the effect of animation semi-finished products is ideal, and it is often used as a small home theater by employees in their free time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yu Kamiya was about to set up the projection equipment, and the first company employee who came to watch the animation PV walked in.
"I'm here~!" Yuuki Chixia probed his brain and looked inside the playback room, and noticed that Yugo Kamiya, who was tinkering with the projection equipment, muttered in disappointment: "I thought I must be the first, forget it." β
She walked to the auditorium and found a stool to sit down, eager to kick her feet back and forth.
Less than a minute after she sat down, she felt a little impatient, looked at the door and asked, "Yo, how long will you have to wait?" β
After checking the projection equipment, Yu Kamiya clapped his hands and replied casually: "Ten minutes, now the propaganda PV has not been sent." β
Yuuki Chixia propped up the stool with her left hand, and yawned in boredom: "It would be nice if the promotional PV was released earlier, and now that the spring dramas are about to be broadcast, the audience will look forward to the animation more than the PV." β
"Tuk-tuk."
There was a deep knock on the wooden door, and Uehara Erizuki, who was plain in a white kimono, walked in and chuckled, "Kamiya-kun cares more about quality than the effect achieved, hasn't it always been like this?" β
"It's meaningless at all.,Animation only makes sense if someone watches it.,Attracting more viewers is the purpose of promoting PV." Yuuki Chixia pouted and commented.
Uehara Eizuki winked at Kamiya Yu, "Isn't that good?" β
"It's rude."
"May I come in?"
"Has it already started?"
The company's senior management and some of the staff involved in the animation production arrived one after another, and it didn't take long for Kamiya Dome to come and hand over the USB flash drive to Kamiya Yu, and he came to sit down next to the five more glass.
"Bang Bang~!"
Kamiya Yu clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, nodded and explained: "Now please be quiet for a while, you have worked hard for more than ten days, and the animation PV has been revised several times and is finally qualified, and in a few days there will be a joint promotion with the animation media "Animation New Magazine", because everyone's efforts to promote the PV effect is very good, I believe it will attract more viewers to watch our company's animation. β
"Now we will start playing the finished product of the anime to promote the PV."
Yu Kamiya inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, and Lisuo opened the folder and double-clicked a video file in it to play it.

The personnel who came to the playback room held their breath and looked at the projection cloth intently, the picture slowly appeared, the first thing they faced was the scene of the strangely shaped transport plane dropping a giant bomb, a whole city was swept in an instant, the high-rise buildings were reduced to ruins in less than a second, and collapsed under the terrifying impact, the flames scattered by the bombs spread from the streets and burned everything, and those innocent pedestrians were frightened, and before they understood what was going on, they were engulfed in flames, and their flesh withered, turned into white bones and burned out.
The scene was brutal and shocking.
The scene switches, several close-ups show the massacre of the army, and the heavy narration voice begins to explain when the sad and magnificent background music sounds: "On January 10, 2019, the Holy British Empire officially declared war on the RB, and the island country located in the east and Britannia, the world's only superpower, continued a long-term diplomatic confrontation around the underground resources of the RB. RB's home defense line was losing ground in the fierce attack of armed mechs.
And then
RB fell, became a dependency of the Holy British Empire, and was stripped of its freedoms, rights, and name.
District 11
This figure became the new name of the RB of the defeated country. β
The scene switches with the narration, the army of District 11 is crushed, the army tanks and fighters that appear are all easily destroyed, the state power is overthrown overnight, and the new weapon of the Holy Britain Empire, the Mecha Knight, appears, which leads to the one-sided development of the war. Modern weapons such as fighter jets that did not appear in the previous animation have appeared,Kamiya Yuya also gave the mecha knight in the animation a more powerful force performance,The shape of the mecha alone has subverted the imagination of many audiences.,Although it continues the shape of the Japanese Gundam,The mechanical design itself is extremely complex and reasonable.,The cab is not a simple manual operation.γ
These mecha shapes are the rhapsodic works of Kamiya Yu combined with the cutting-edge technology of the previous world's science and technology, the part of the mecha design is really mixed with the design of reality, and some of the technical limitations that cannot be solved by the current technology are used to make the surface appearance of "black technology", this is still a miscellaneous level mecha that only appears, and the mecha that appeared at the beginning of "Rebellious Lelouch" can be regarded as a "real system", and after the technological innovation, a laser cannon will destroy the entire battlefield is very close to the "super system", Although there is no clear line between the definitions of mecha-themed animation, basically what the official says is what it is.
In the experience summarized by the audience, the distinction between "super series" and "real series" Gundam-themed animation definition is still relatively obvious, the Gundam series of animations is basically considered real, although the Gundam body is very unrealistic, at least it is possible to achieve it in the future under the foundation of science fiction, the combat weapons are basically particle cannons and beam knives, and the strongest combat effectiveness is also barely next to the super system.
As for the so-called super system Gundam animation, two examples can be best distinguished, "Tian Yuan Breakthrough", "Leap to the Peak", "Tian Yuan Breakthrough" only needs to have blood, including the law of conservation of matter, can be broken at will, and in the end, the protagonist team even throws galaxies with bodies larger than galaxies. It's not that the future can't develop to this point, it's just that it's too far away and too unreal, and being able to do this is basically equivalent to a "god-level civilization", and what kind of Gundam is there to play.
Originally, the production of Gundam-themed animation required a special department, commonly known as mechanical setting, but it is better to say that many animations that come into contact with mechanical modeling need this special department, as literally explained, the person who is responsible for the mechanical composition of the animation, so that the animation is more realistic and bold. Yu Kamiya let [Matrix Space] take this position, and using his consciousness to draw ability, it was not difficult to design these Gundams.
Moreover, what is the hottest figurine sold in District 11? It's not the sultry H character figures, it's not the cute female characters in the anime, it's the romance of these men made of steel-Gundam!
The remastered version of "Lelouch the Rebellious" mecha design is much higher than the top level in the industry, and Yu Kamiya designed it with the idea of impacting the figure market.

The PV scene transitioned, and soon the Governor of District 11, Clovis, pretended to mourn in front of the media: "Subjects of the Empire, and most of the people in District 11 who have helped us, can you understand? My heart is torn in half, sad and angry, but my hands are entrusted to the future of Area 11, so I must not compromise with terrorism! This is a battle for justice, to protect the stability of society, to protect the law, and to protect the justice of all people living in peace. Now, shouldn't we observe a moment of silence for the eight knights who have guarded justice!? β
Karen, a member of the RB Resistance Front who heard the media announcement, roared angrily: "It's not from District 11, it's from RB!" β
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Inside the car, the members of the RB resistance front, who were scarred and bleeding all over their bodies, gathered together tremblingly and pressed the last self-detonation button with their right hands and said decisively: "Long live RB!" β
"Boom~!" The truck exploded, and the flames exploded, engulfing several mecha knights around it.
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"If that kind of thing is exposed, I may be deposed."
Clovis, the governor of District 11, gave the order in a cold voice: "In the name of Clovis, the third prince of the Holy British Empire, I order the annihilation of the entire Shinjuku district!" β
The scene continues, and the people of the 11th ward, who are living in poverty in Shinjuku Ward, are once again subjected to a devastating and inhumane blow, and even babies are caught in the explosion, and many female employees who are watching can no longer bear to turn their heads away from these pictures.
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
An ethereal female voice rang out.
"Don't you want it to end like this? It seems that you still have the necessary reason to want to live, and if you have the strength, you can live. β
Many unrelated images flashed like marquees, including civilians devastated by war, sadistic soldiers, and dying pleas, and the images flashed faster and faster until they drowned out all the deeper explorations of consciousness.
"This is a contract, I will give you power, and in return you will also fulfill one of my wishes, if you sign a contract, you will live as a human being, but you will abide by inhuman principles, contrary laws, opposite times, opposite lives, opposite worlds."
"The power of the king will make you lonely, if you are consciousγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Seeing the familiar figure, Lu Luxiu's pupils contracted, and he replied calmly with a wave of his right hand: "Very good, then sign the contract!" β

The strangely dressed members of the Black Knights appeared in front of the media, and Lelouch officially issued a declaration of war: "O people! Fear us and follow us! Our name is, Black Knights!
We, the Black Knights, are the companions of all unarmed people! Whether it's District 11 people, or Britannians.
The RB Liberation Front used despicable means to take British civilians hostage and brutally kill them. There is no point in doing so, so we have sanctioned it.
The same was true of Governor Clovis, who ordered the torture and killing of unarmed District 11 people. I couldn't stand by and watch something so cruel, so sanctions were imposed on him.
I don't deny the fight ... However, the unilateral killing of the weak by the strong is an absolutely unforgivable thing!
Those who have the right to shoot are only those who have the consciousness to be shot!
We will reappear when the strong attack the weak. No matter how powerful the enemy is.
O man of power! Fear us! O weak! Pursue us! World! It will be up to us the Black Knights to arbitrate! β

There are a total of several formats of animation promotion PV,The structure of publicity PV mostly depends on the highlights of the animation,If it is a crystal palace animation, then focus on the female character,The plot plays some wonderful and suspenseful scenes to the animation,Theme innovative animation such as "Attack on Titan", "Sword Art Online" can be used to integrate their respective world views into a little plot, "Rebellious Lelouch" belongs to the latter, propaganda PV comprehensive factors, high funding, world view innovation, plot tension, Disruptive, and so on.
There are only four minutes of animation promotion PV that depicts the situation of RB in the animation as extremely miserable, and then leads to the protagonist, obtains the power of the king with unknown special abilities, and then the Black Knights are established.
These factors are equivalent to the "cause" that attracts the audience, the future situation of the RB, the situation of the protagonist, the special power called the power of the king, whether the Black Knights will change the world, and so on.

"Papapapa~!"
After the broadcast of the promotional PV of "Rebellious Lelouch", the broadcast room routinely sounded with warm applause from the staff, and Uehara Eizuki covered her mouth and chuckled and commented: "How to describe it, I always feel a little embarrassed, but the PV is very infectious." β
Looking at this PV from an adult's point of view does feel so good, especially Lelouch's secondary propaganda when the Black Knights were established, but as an animated work for teenagers, this picture effect must be quite good.
"Yes! I think it's good! The founding declaration of the Black Knights is so cool! Yuki Chixia covered her flushed cheeks with her small hands, and her eyes were shiny and excited.
The fifth watch Liuli next to him nodded with deep sympathy, took a deep breath and exhaled and added with satisfaction: "Very good, the voice actor of the male protagonist is the very famous first-line female voice actor?" The stage name I remember was called Marianne. β
Chinatsu Yuuki turned her head and asked curiously, "A female voice actor?" Anyway, voice actors also have stage names? β
"Well, it's not uncommon for some female voice actors with distinctive voices to match male servants, and only a small number of more experienced voice actors will use stage names, which is a tradition in the past, and now most of the stage names used by voice actors with less seniority are used in special situations."
"What kind?"
"Take on some jobs that can be classified as [black history]." Wugen Liuli raised a finger and explained vaguely.
Regardless of the audience's evaluation, Yu Kamiya himself is still quite satisfied with the quality of this promotional PV, and after several revisions, he also personally guided it to increase the strength of the camera performance and the coherence of the plot.
After the playback, Kamiya Yu took off the USB flash drive and handed it to Kamiya Yu and instructed: "Qiong, you send this promotional PV to the editorial department of "Animation New Magazine", there should be their email address over there during production, just send it directly. β
Kamiya Qiong walked over and took the USB flash drive with both hands: "Well, I see." β
The time when the PV broadcast was almost a lunch break, Yu Kamiya simply announced the disbandment: "The PV trial effect has come out, you can come to me if you have any comments or questions, disbanded now, you can go back to rest." β
The company employees routinely came over to say hello: "Yes, hard work." β
"The effect of PV is fantastic."
"Yes, I was moved, I didn't expect that I would participate in the production of such an excellent work."
