Chapter 220: The Pill of the Industry
Yu Kamiya smiled without humility: "Madoka Magical Girl" is an attempt to break through the theme, animation is such a thing, I am more free than Kitagawa Superintendent, I can create my own imagination freely, I do have more advantages than Kitagawa Superintendent in this regard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe plot development of "Mobile Suit 007" directed by you is also quite amazing, and the scene where the protagonist Sato rushes into the enemy Gundam squad without hesitation makes me feel enthusiastic, and the scene with the heroine's singing voice is like a romantic space opera. β
Yu Kamiya's praise didn't make Shuichi Kitagawa happy, and he shook his head in frustration: "That episode took several times more effort than an ordinary episode, and it delayed the production schedule a lot, even if the picture performance didn't meet the standard I expected, the music was barely qualified." β
Yu Kamiya put down the beer in his hand: "Being able to make such a picture already shows how good Kitagawa's ability to supervise is." β
Fujiwara Tiger on the side touched the back of his head: "Kamiya, you are boasting, the quality of the painting of "Madoka Magical Girl" is amazing, and it is often called by those media to be more than ten years ahead of the animation industry. Whether it's 3D or 2D, you can easily control it, and you can't figure out how you do it in Kamiya. β
"That's a difference in production technology, and it doesn't explain the problem of supervisory ability." Kamiya was dumbfounded.
Ability to animate supervision? Shuichi Kitagawa remembered the various plot foreshadowings of "Madoka Magical Girl", various character portrayals and close-ups of the scenes, those pictures were the best experience of animation supervision ability, and this part was excellent by Shuichi Kitagawa standards, and he thought he couldn't find a better starting point when analyzing "Madoka Magical Girl".
Kitagawa Shuichi said solemnly and solemnly: "Kamiya's supervision ability is indeed better than mine, not to mention the problem of painting "Magical Girl Madoka", the overall grasp and construction of animation is better than most of the animation supervisors I know, those things are not technically compensable, "Magical Girl Madoka" gives me the feeling that it is directed by an animation supervisor with a lot of experience rather than a newcomer. β
Yu Kamiya was embarrassed, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the voice of Tiger Fujiwara.
"Stop! The bragging of the two of you animation supervisors to each other is now stopped, it's a drinking party, don't look deep into the work aspect. Fujiwara Tiger interrupted the topic with a wave of his hand, and Yuu Kamiya and Shuichi Kitagawa looked at each other and smiled, indeed continuing this topic would make Fujiwara Tora, who is not an animation supervisor, quite embarrassed.

Twenty minutes later, the conversation returned to the discussion in the animation industry.
Tora Fujiwara drank the beer one after another and said with emotion: "There is definitely a problem in this industry now. The number of people buying BD is getting smaller and smaller, less than one percent of the number of people watching animation, and our animation production company can only make a profit by selling BD. I'm really anxious.,Late-night animation is becoming more and more like gambling.,Only those who are popular can barely get back to their roots.,In the past, animation was decided according to popularity.,The TV station will distribute part of the revenue from advertising to the production company.,Now only a few animations in prime time can enjoy such treatment.γ β
"It's true that the sales of "Magical Girl Naye" are good, but the profit is not as much as I imagined, and the operator has taken a large part of it, and the big heads of those figures and peripherals are all in their hands, and sometimes I wonder if it is a change in the operation model, for example, complete network distribution in the United States is a good choice." Yu Kamiya sighed in agreement, it took him more than a year to finally understand why the animation industry in District 11 is so deformed, if he just establishes an animation production company, then it will never be possible to break away from the environmental restrictions of the industry, maybe even if he moves all the excellent works from the previous world, the profits of the works themselves cannot support him to maintain the [Edge's Sky] animation production company.
Now Kamiya Yu has been considering developing his own entire market assembly line to get rid of the shackles of the industry environment,With a very appropriate analogy, the animation production company is equivalent to Kamiya Yu's previous occupation - hard writer,In addition to the income from the manuscript fee,The related copyright income is basically equal to 0,Even if the popularity of the animation produced is high,The income of the animation production company will not have a high increaseγ
"Speaking of opening up overseas markets is a good choice,Recently, our company sold a number of animation copyrights,It seems that the video website in China intends to introduce genuine versions,If the Chinese market is mature,Relying on our production company alone can make a lot of profitsγ At present, the turnover of overseas markets is less than one-tenth of the total turnover, and there is still a lot of room for expansion. Shuichi Kitagawa smiled and expressed his opinion, but it was only to the extent that he said it, because he knew that he could make animation, but he could not influence the market.
Kamiya took a sip of beer quietly, not surprisingly, the batch of animation copyrights should have been bought by Poison Island Purple and handed over to the [biubiubiu] barrage video website.,The price is not as expensive as rumored.,An ordinary twelve-episode length animation broadcast right is just a few million yen.,The popularity is more than 10 million yen.γ
"Animation is past its prime, and it is only a matter of time before the industry collapses like this." Fujiwara Tiger continued to say bitterly with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "The royalties obtained by the author of "The Adventure King" have already exceeded the income of the animation production company. After saying that, it was a big glass of beer "gurgling" into the stomach.

At the end of the feast
The table in front of the three of them was full of beer bottles, Yu Kamiya himself went to the toilet several times, but he didn't feel drunk, Fujiwara Tora and Kitagawa Shuichi, who had been drinking for a long time, were flushed, and their voices were full of excitement, and they were obviously drunk.
Kitagawa Xiu, who was originally steady, raised his wine glass and laughed: "Although the plot of "Madoka Magical Girl" is very interesting, and "Mobile Suit 007" is also just at the point of the plot, haha, I won't admit defeat to you, a ghost in the industry, so easily!" β
Fujiwara Tiger clapped his hands and praised: "That's right! That's right! It is to show this pride to Kamiya the courage of the seniors in the industry! β
Seeing their noisy appearance, Kamiya Yu shook his head helplessly, took out his mobile phone to look at the time, this drinking party lasted for more than four hours, and he felt a wave of tiredness coming. From the exchange of experience in animation production to the bitterness of the animation industry environment, Yu Kamiya himself benefited a lot from this talk, not in terms of animation, but because of Shuichi Kitagawa and his various experiences in the industry over the years and the changes in industry rules.
"Fujiwara, I'm almost going back, are you all right?"
Fujiwara Tiger looked at his watch and waved his hand and said, "It's okay~ It's okay, you go first, I'll call a taxi." β
Kitagawa Shuichi smiled at Kamiya Yu: "Superintendent Kamiya, the next time we meet, it's likely that we will be in that sushi restaurant, and in order to keep my meager salary, I can't work hard." (To be continued.) )
