Chapter 146: Interview

The animation production company was busy with the final production of "Magical Girl Naha" when it received an unexpected visitor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hi Mr. Kamiya, we are the staff of the [Celebrity Words] TV program, and thank you very much for taking the time to be interviewed by our program." The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a steady appearance, stood up when he saw Kamiya Yu come in, bowed deeply, and spoke in a respectful and polite tone like a subject announcing affairs to the king, and next to him, several photographers had prepared photographic props and faced the empty sofa in the lounge.

"Celebrity Talk" is a popular TV Tokyo program where the host goes around visiting people who have excelled in various fields, recording their pasts and revealing some knowledge that ordinary people in the industry don't know. Yu Kamiya was a little surprised when he received a call from this TV program, and at first he thought it was a scammer, but after checking the phone number, he confirmed that it was the official contact number of this program.

Yu Kamiya is not shy about being famous, but it is better to say that he feels famous, he is just an animation supervisor, unlike those big stars who are harassed by the paparazzi all day long, and becoming an animation producer at the level of Hayao Miyazaki is at most a little more socially influential. Of course, this is also what he wanted, so he found a time to agree to the invitation to record the show.

The middle-aged man in front of him is Masato Yamazaki, the official interview host of "Celebrity Words", who has talked and laughed with more than 100 celebrities in various industries in Japan. Because of this, Masasa Yamazaki has always maintained a humble attitude, and the more he sees, the more he feels small, and he is just an ordinary person who can speak well compared to those who have special skills.

There is also a need for work to maintain a humble attitude, and celebrities in various industries do not lack the existence of weird tempers, and maintaining a humble attitude can avoid many unnecessary troubles. When I first saw Yu Kamiya, Masato Yamazaki was very surprised that the animation supervisor who made "Rwby" and caused a lot of international talk was so young. If you know a little about the animation industry, you know that the youngest animation supervisor is basically around 30 years old, and Uehara Ezuki, a talented concept artist, was also the original art supervisor of Kyoni Animation when he was about 25 years old.

The younger Yu Kamiya is, the more Masato Yamazaki doesn't dare to take it lightly, and the person who can become the chief director of animation at this age and also make some achievements is either amazingly capable or has the support of a big background, and either that is worthy of his respectful attitude.

"Yu Kamiya, president and animation supervisor of [Edge-no-Kong] Animation Production Company." Kamiya Yu walked over and stretched out his right hand and said calmly.

"Masato Yamazaki, the host of [Celebrity Words]." After a polite handshake, they sat on the sofa facing the camera, and after a detailed conversation, they officially started recording the show.

Smiling at the camera, Masato Yamazaki explains, "Animation has always been a proud industry in Japan, and many people, including me, have grown up with animation, and until now, Japan's animation-related industries account for almost 0.3% of GDP every year. Some viewers may laugh and say that only 0.3% is not just a small industry. In fact, this value is quite close to the total number of GPDs in the United States accounted for by Hollywood in the United States, and the celebrities interviewed by our program today are those who have a very high reputation in the animation industry, and they are also the youngest supervisors in the animation industry - Mr. Yu Kamiya. ”

The camera turned his head slowly, and Yu Kamiya smiled at the camera and said calmly: "Mr. Yamazaki is too famous, my company and I are just starting in the Japanese animation industry, and there are still many things to learn and improve, to be honest, as an animation production company that is still starting, I suddenly received an invitation to [Celebrity Interview], I thought it was a wrong call or something." ”

"The audience in front of the TV may be unfamiliar with Mr. Kamiya, but what good work can such a young animation supervisor have? After watching these clips, even I have to exclaim Mr. Kamiya's excellent ability, these beautiful pictures, these action designs and music that have been praised by the famous Hollywood Chinese director Mr. Liu Long are all designed by Mr. Kamiya. ”

・・・・・・

"Mr. Kamiya, why did you choose 2D animation with such excellent 3D technology, isn't it more suitable for development in the field of 3D on the big stage of the world?"

"There's no special reason.,If you have to say it, it's interest.,I've been moved by animation.,I wonder if I can create this touch and share it with the audience one day.,Show those unrealistic fantasies in your heart in the form of animation.。

・・・・・・

"Mr. Kamiya, as far as we know, the [Edge-no-Kong] production company was off the air for a week when it released "Magical Girl Naye", can I explain the reason?"

"Of course, in fact, our company has already produced three or four episodes of animation, but I don't feel that it is so resonant from the bottom of my heart when it comes to the follow-up plot. So at that time, I decided to scrap the three or four episodes that I had already made and start working on the animation storyboard again, which was a time when I was tired of the members of our company, and I would like to say thank you and apologize to them. ”

・・・・・・

After a series of interviews, because of the arrangement of the program, the footage of the staff making the animation was routinely recorded, and the evaluation of Yu Kamiya by the staff of the animation production company [Yuanzhikong].

Majima Hana leaned against his desk and muttered for a moment before replying, "How is it?" Hmm~ It should be said that President Kamiya is a very capable supervisor with a very comprehensive and deep understanding of anime. Some time ago, the company was just starting, and many employees couldn't keep up with the pace of the company, and President Kamiya was responsible for correcting mistakes, and the busiest person in the company was also President Kamiya. Hehe~ We, the staff, are a little embarrassed to say this. ”

・・・・・・

Matsuoka, who was immature at any time, sat up straight and replied with a nervous face, "I'm very grateful to the president for inviting me to join the [Edge-no-Kong] production company and giving me the opportunity to show my talents, although my current ability is far inferior to Yuuki Supervisor and the president, I will try my best to prove my ability." ”

・・・・・・

Ruri Gojo, who was wearing a black goth suit, also tensed her little face when she faced the camera: "Yes, President Kamiya is an animation supervisor I admire very much. Opportunity? I think I started when I came into contact with the promotional film of the "Rwby" series on the Internet, and at that time, I was really shocked by the character promotional film of this animation, and I wondered what kind of production team could create this kind of work? After some investigation, I learned the name of President Kamiya, and from then on, I felt that President Kamiya must be very powerful. ”

・・・・・・

Alice Kumamoto is still elegant and calm in front of the camera: "If the [Edge-no-Kong] animation production company was not very good, I would not have chosen this place, and the opportunity to join the company was also the animation "Rwby". I had been thinking about joining the animation industry before, and I happened to come to Japan in the UK when I heard the news of the recruitment of [Ennoku] animation production company, and I think this is a company with a lot of dreams and capabilities. ”

・・・・・・

"As far as I know, you were a well-known concept art supervisor in the animation industry before joining [Edge-no-Kong] animation production company, do you have any different opinions about President Kamiya?"

Uehara Ezuki, who was wearing a white kimono, sat on an office chair and smiled indifferently at the camera: "This statement is too high for myself, everyone has the same opinion of President Kamiya, and I am the same, he is a very charismatic boss, and people follow him unconsciously." If there's anything special about it, it's probably that I've found the passion I had when I first entered the industry, and I feel that making animation is actually a very interesting thing. ”

・・・・・・

Dressed in black women's professional attire, Kamiya Qiong did not show stage fright when facing the camera for the first time, she sat in an office chair with her small hands flat on her knees, and her silver-white hair and black suit showed the ability of a long-time workplace and the coldness that people dare not approach: "If it is the animation industry, I don't have any special ideas, Yu is my brother, no matter what he does, I will support him." ”

・・・・・・

It took a whole day to finally complete the recording of the program of "Words of Celebrities", which somewhat delayed the time for animation production, but it could bring a very good publicity effect to the animation production company of [Yuanzhikong]. (To be continued.) )
