"Mr. Shuichi Kitagawa, I remember him as one of the signatures of your Sunrise Company, the supervisor of the early famous radish anime "Mobile Suit" series. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 InfoSpeaking of which, I often saw this anime on TV when I was a kid, and it was the only TV show I was looking forward to for a week, but I'm still haunted by the ending where the protagonist and the enemy blew themselves up. Hearing Fujiwara Tiger mention the name of Kitagawa Shuichi, Kamiya Yu suddenly remembered a radish animation that left him with a shadow of childhood, and after an hour, children in the welfare home like to huddle together to watch animation, "Mobile Suit" is one of the favorite cartoons of children in the welfare home, and when it comes to broadcast time, there will always be a group of children squatting in front of the TV waiting for the broadcast to start.

But I don't know if the animation directors of that era were very fond of playing deep.,As one of the ancestors of the world's radish films, "Mobile Suit" is obviously a sub-supply animation but has a meaningful and depressing ending.,After watching this animation, Kamiya was depressed for a few days and couldn't eat.。

On the phone, Fujiwara Tiger smiled heartily: "Ah, the year before last, our company's "Magical Girl Meow Meow" is the work he directed, although the royal plot that uses the animation of the magical girl theme is also very popular with children, and the popularity of the Internet still lost to your "Magical Girl Naye". He has a very high opinion of "Magical Girl Naye" and you, and after knowing our relationship, he often mutters in front of me that he wants to meet you, a rookie animator. ”

Kamiya became interested, sat up straight from his chair and drew a pen to record the time and place: "It's also my honor to be able to communicate with Kitagawa Superintendent, what about the time and place?" ”

Connections in the animation industry are crucial, as illustrated by the last world's brutal depiction of the animation industry, "White Box", in which Musashino often faces crises, but the protagonist Aoi Miyamori's cheerful and serious personality eliminates interpersonal crises one after another. In reality, there is no such plot where one production can save the whole company, and if an accident occurs in an animation production company, then it depends more on the power of high-level connections.

Animation is not reviewed? At this time, an online producer like Bian Du is needed, and it is usually a matter of having a meal with the reviewers.

Lack of production manpower? In this case, it is necessary to contact the freelance original artist in charge of the production with a wide network of contacts in this area, and if this is not possible, you can also contact other animation production companies or studios.

Knowing an industry veteran supervisor is even more useful, even if the veteran supervisor tweets a word about the work of a rookie supervisor, then it is likely to bring a good change in popularity to the work. Yu Kamiya certainly doesn't need such favors, and with "RWBY", he has swept numerous awards in Europe and the United States, and he is already one of the most well-known directors in the Japanese animation industry. Yu Kamiya is interested in getting to know the animation supervisor himself, and there should be a lot of the same topics in the same profession, so it's also very exciting to get to know the supervisor of the animation he watched when he was a child.

On the phone, Fujiwara Tiger was stunned by Kamiya Yu's enthusiasm: "Don't worry, you're planning to launch a new work in January this year, I also watched the animation PV." Although it's the setting of the royal magical girl, it always feels like the animation you make won't be simple.,That's what Kitagawa thinks too.。 Are you interested in competing in this quarter, our company will launch the main annual "Mobile Suit 007" in this quarter. ”

"Then I don't have to lose the ending, the "Mobile Suit" series is such a famous animation IP, even if I have to watch it for my own feelings." Yu Kamiya joked, only God knows if he really thinks like this in his heart.

Fujiwara Tora did not hesitate to praise: "Who knows, Superintendent Kitagawa said that he saw something different in your promotional PV, and he thinks that your next work has the potential to surpass the popularity of "Magical Girl Naha". Now in the official statistics of the nicenice website, "Magical Girl Naha" is the best anime of the year last year, and it ranks first in popularity and praise, and I myself like Naha sauce very much. If you can create an animation that surpasses that of Magical Girl Naha, then it will be very easy to beat the Mobile Suit anime series. How, tell me something, do you have the confidence to surpass Mobile Suit 007, I'm really looking forward to it. ”

Kamiya Yu pondered for a while, but still lowered his posture as much as possible and replied: "Although it can't be said to surpass "Mobile Suit 007", it shouldn't be a big problem to surpass "Magical Girl Naye". ”

Fujiwara Tiger laughed, and had already seen through Kamiya Yu's answer: "That is, quite confident, the loser will have a treat at the sushi restaurant "Shuyoya Hashijiro", such an amount should not be a problem for you, a big landowner." ”

"Oh oh ~ that famous "sushi god"? I've also watched his documentaries, but I haven't been able to find time to try them. If you can introduce me to Inspector Beichuan, it's not a problem to ask you to eat there for a week. In the introduction of the TV show, Saburo Ono, who is 92 years old, is a veteran of the sushi industry, and his pursuit of quality has made him known as Japan's "God of Sushi", and he is also the oldest three-star chef in the world.

Fujiwara Tora sighed: "That's not good, eating sushi for a week in a row can't stand even if it's delicious in your stomach." ”

Kamiya shook his head with a smile, "That's okay, I'll hang up first if there's nothing else." ”

"Oh, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Kamiya Yu sat in his office chair and pondered for a while, then typed the official URL of the nicenice website on the computer and clicked to jump, and soon found the data statistics website that Fujiwara Tiger said. As he said, "Magical Girl Naye" was named the best animation of the year in 2017, and its popularity and BD sales have surpassed the similar feature-length animation "Magical Girl Meow Meow" after a quarter of fermentation.

"Magical Girl Naye" - comprehensive popularity 13273927, quarterly BD sales cut-off: 47263

"Magical Girl Meow Meow" - comprehensive popularity 11273849, quarterly BD sales deadline: 32738

"Miracle Girl" - comprehensive popularity 6273917, quarterly BD sales as of 13728

"Magical Girl Meow Meow Dew" - comprehensive popularity 5018275, quarterly BD sales as of 11276

BD is the Blu-ray HD version of the animation, and it will also optimize some details of the animation, such as modifying the parts of the animation where the painting is broken. The last world work "Glass Color Before Nightlight" once appeared in the famous cabbage painting collapse time, the production team was lazy and directly turned the cabbage into a green ball, since then this scene has become one of the measurement of painting collapse wiring, in the BD version of the modification to barely position the cabbage appearance.

Painting collapse is not a big deal.,It's not small.,The fourth episode of the burning radish animation "Tianyuan Breakthrough" had a painting collapse.,Forced the president of the brake animation at the time to resign.。 There are also very classic paintings such as "My Pain is above You", which did not cause much impact.

The price of a season of ordinary animation is about 3,000 to 10,000 yen, and it can basically be won at about 3,000 yen under various discounts, and sales of more than 50,000 mean that just BD allows Kamiya Yu to earn more than 20 million yen, although it is not a lot for Kamiya Yu, but this kind of income means that even if the animation has zero BD sales in the second season, third season, and four seasons, it will basically not be a loss.

In fact, this year's four magical girl animations are all very good, and the sales of tens of thousands of them are very good in the industry? Although it seems to be very small, it may not be as good as a diamond-level mobile phone seller of a deep water treasure.

BD sales of 2899, this is a return to the line of an ordinary animation.

BD sales are 5000, this is the second phase of the line, and BD sales reach this level, and it is expected to produce a second season.

BD sales of 10,000, this is a best-selling line, compared to the expected production of the second season, as long as it is not a special situation, the production of the second season is an ironclad thing.

BD sales of 33813, [Wall of Masterpieces], the average sales of the whole volume of the world TV animation "IS". The meaning of "Wall of Masterpieces" is a bit complicated, on the surface it means that BD sales can be made into masterpieces if they break through this number, in fact, "Wall of Masterpieces" is the name of "IS", this work is vulgar, no connotation, and the setting has no bright spots but it sells very well inexplicably, so it is named "Wall of Masterpieces" to satirize the work and satirize the industry situation, if you make an animation with many advantages, these advantages are not enough for animation to beat "IS", then the situation is embarrassing.

There is actually an interesting thing about [Wall of Masterpieces], the author of "IS", Bowstring Yihe, was once said by his mother: "What kind of thing is written in Dute." And received a huge psychological blow, this psychological shadow is estimated to be remembered by him for the rest of his life.

Most of the animation BD sales account for about one-third to half of the total animation revenue, and the rest of the revenue is made up by copyright cooperation, project cooperation, figures, etc., if there is a game similar to "lovelive", "fate/go" and the like, it will make more money, and the Japanese mobile game ranks first in the world's krypton gold ranking, followed by China.

Kamiya Yu felt a little surprised, according to his prediction, although "Magical Girl Naye" could be a hit, but the limitations of the subject matter made this animation not reach this level. He continued to look through the statistics of the website, and found that few of the animations produced the year before were basically large-scale productions, which was simply the "Year of the Miscellaneous Fish".

Yu Kamiya suddenly felt angry and funny, and if there are no excellent works in four quarters of the year, it is the year of miscellaneous fish, which will either appear in the weak period of the industry or in the decline of the industry.

And what about this year? Yu Kamiya clicked on the new January expectation list on the statistics page.

"First: "The Adventure King", a long-form hot-blooded shonen manga adaptation serialized by Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", has been serialized for more than two years and has accumulated incredible popularity, and has been rated as one of the most unmissable manga in the past decade. [Vote rate: 163472]

Second: "Warring States Heroes", an original large-scale animation, based on the Three Kingdoms period of China, a Chinese historical blockbuster depicted with Cao Cao as the main visual, the animation supervisor is the famous superintendent Muto Takashi Muto, who has directed "The Burning of Honnoji Temple" in the industry, and is very respected by teenagers and adults. [Vote rate: 92856]

Third: "Mobile Suit 007", one of the representatives of the ancestor of the "Mobile Suit" series, has an unchangeable status in the hearts of adults and teenagers. [Vote rate: 89261]

Fourth: "The Tale of the Brave in Another World", a series of long light novels adapted, the popularity of light novels is also amazing, and it has been on the list for three consecutive years "This light novel is amazing!" 》。 [Vote rate: 85278]

・・・・・・

11th place: "Madoka Magical Girl", who has directed the animation "RWBY" and "Magical Girl Naye", is known as the youngest ghost talent in the industry to direct the original animation directed by Yu Kamiya. [Vote rate: 17484]"

"I'll go, I didn't even get into the top ten!" Kamiya Yu was embarrassed for a while, originally he thought he already had such a little popularity in Japan, but he didn't expect that "Madoka Magica" was still in an embarrassing position in the end, and "Madoka Magica", which cooperated with Lao Xuan and Xinfang in the last world, was the first place on the new expectation list.

"It shouldn't have much impact, although the self-produced "Madoka Magical Girl" is slower than the original, and the corresponding outbreak is more violent. In the last world, super slow-burning works such as "Stone of Destiny Gate" have survived, and there is no reason why "Madoka Magical Girl" should not be popular. After thinking about it, Kamiya Yu smiled bitterly and was speechless, and his words inserted the standard flag.

With the general environment, Yu Kamiya, the young superintendent, plus the magical girl-themed animation, really has no influence. The promotional PV of "Madoka Magical Girl" is not as big as "Magical Girl Naye", and the big scenes are almost all weird and full of abstract art style pictures, and the various inappropriate pictures have caused many viewers who are expecting Yu Kamiya to be disappointed, they are either coming for the big production, or for the exciting fights like "RWBY".

The more this happened, the more excited Kamiya Yu felt in his heart. He is looking forward to the official broadcast in January, looking forward to what kind of expressions the audience will use to face the turning point of "Madoka Magical Girl", and also looking forward to causing the same sensation as the previous world. At that time, let alone "Mobile Suit 007", even if he was looking forward to the number one "Adventure King", he was confident that he would overturn it.

It's time to refresh the three views of all animation lovers with the old imaginary "love". (To be continued.) )
