Chapter 368: An illustration that can't be copied
"Sure enough, the popularity has started to increase greatly, but Saber is not like the "fatestaynight" in the previous world, and it will still lose a considerable number of dead house chefs. www.biquge.info"Yu Kamiya, who has been following the dynamics of [BiuBiuBiu], touched his chin and smiled dumbly, quite satisfied with Saber's popularity in the "Fate/zero" series. Although there is no popularity survey conducted in District 11, it is certain that Saber has always been the number one in popularity, in large part because she is the only woman among all the Immortals who appear.
- Assassin counts as one percent?
Yu Kamiya recalls the background setting of Assassin.
Each generation of the Holy Grail War Assassin rank is played by Assasin, but although he is the same Assasin, he also has a different role, which is related to the person who inherits the position of Assasin's leader in each generation. "fatestaynight" appears in the curse wrist.,Fate/zero" appears in the appearance of a hundred appearances.,It's very clear in the treasure animation of a hundred appearances.,That is, there are many doppelgangers.,These doppelgangers are all because of his schizophrenic personality.,Enjoy an equal relationship.,Among them, there's a girl in tight black.。
"Speaking of which, if there is a physiological need, then Baixiang can not be done by one person... Forget it, let's go to [NICE] to see the popularity statistics. Yu Kamiya smiled in thought, clicked the mouse with his right hand to close the [BiuBiuBiu] "Fate/zero" community webpage and came to the famous video website in District 11.
"The ratings are 19%, and sure enough, I still can't break through Madoka's results."
The initial popularity of the "Fate/zero" anime was supported by the Gaiden novel and the word-of-mouth support accumulated by Yu Kamiya through [Madoka Kamiya], and the first episode became the most popular anime of the season, and since its broadcast, its popularity has been steadily increasing, and it firmly occupies the first place in the popularity list of the anime broadcast in the season like "Madoka Magica". However, even if the starting point is much better than that of "Madoka Magical Girl", the popularity has been on the rise, and the overall popularity of "Fate/zero", which has been broadcast to the seventeenth episode, is still not higher than that of "Madoka Magical Girl".
"Madoka Magi" has brought unprecedented shock to the animation industry in the 11th district, not only in the animation production industry, but also for the audience and investors who are eyeing the animation market. In this year's October drama, there are many plots that play "anti-routine" animations, wanting to reproduce the industry miracle of "Madoka Magical Girl". However, the plot setting of "Madoka Magical Girl" is not very good, and the key point is that the plot reversal of the anti-routine nature of the animation genre is also the key point. "Madoka Magi" can create a miracle in the history of animation, and the biggest reliance is on Yu Kamiya's strength as an animation director, and the appeal of the plot reversal is brought into full play.
The portrayal of magical girls, the use of weird art style backgrounds, wonderful storyboards, etc., aside from the plot, "Madoka Magical Girl" is an animation that surpasses the top level in the industry, and the only result of the general animation production plan is to use the plot reversal as the highlight.
The quality of the animation of "Fate/zero" is not much worse than that of "Madoka Magi", but the limitations of the two genres are destined to be impossible to imitate.
"Madoka Magical Girl" is very much in line with the aesthetics of animation lovers in Area 11 both in terms of plot and characters.
"Fate/zero" is more popular with foreign countries and China from the aesthetic point of view, "Fate/zero" is only inferior to "Magical Girl Madoka" on the [BiuBiuBiu] barrage video website founded by Kamiya Yu, and the Chinese ACG industry has also been developing for most of the past six months, and most of the income obtained by [BiuBiuBiu] relying on the operation of the "Ship Girl Collection" game has been invested in the construction of the barrage video website like sinking to the bottom of the sea. The return on the excess investment is the rocketing increase in the overall popularity of the website, which cannot be said to have driven the entire Chinese ACG circle, because [BiuBiuBiu] has not been exposed to many audiences in this field.
The total popularity of "Fate/zero" on the [Fake Book] website has gone through the outbreak stage of Lancer Zhao Yun's duel to conquer King Iskander [King's Army], and now the total popularity is on par with "Madoka Magical Girl", and it has received a higher evaluation. The picture of [Wang Zhijun's Potential] has been talked about by the current European and American audiences, which is completely different from the current mainstream 3D animation that adopts all hand-drawn painting mode, but the simulated scene effect is more shocking, and the appeal of the scene and the storyboard processing are breathtaking, subverting the concept of 3D = animation masterpiece and 2D = old animation in their hearts.
"If "Madoka Magi" is the pinnacle of Japanese animation, then "Fate/zero" is likely to become an immortal classic that transcends many limitations, oh~ Of course, this is only the evaluation so far, and I believe that the superintendent Kamiya will not give us a bad ending. - Robert, a famous animation critic and head of the animation section of [Fake Book]. "The head of the animation department, who reached a cooperation with Yu Kamiya for the first time, has been promoted by the company because of a series of performances, and is now the person in charge of the [fake book] website, including European and American animation, touching the core rights of the company.
I've had a lot of success working with Yu Kamiya several times, and I've been paying attention to his dynamics even though I regret that I'm no longer making 3D animations for the Rwby series.
Originally, [Fake Book] only planned to complete an animation collaboration with Yu Kamiya on "Rwby", but with Robert's matchmaking, an online giant and an animation production company in District 11 have maintained a close relationship to this day. From the very beginning of "Magical Girl Naha" to "Madoka Magical Girl" to now "Fate/zero", each work is almost refreshing the overseas achievements of Zone 11 animation, and the top management of [Fake Book] has gradually begun to pay attention to the benefits and possibilities brought by 2D animation in Zone 11.
In addition, the agency of the game in the American region of "The Collection of the Ship Girl" has also been handed over to the [fake book], and someone will come to negotiate with Suhara Laizi soon. Different cultural differences lead to a deviation in the taste of Eastern and Western players, but as long as the game is good enough, then even Japanese games can attract European and American players, not to mention that the game culture atmosphere of "Dark Souls" is biased towards European and American players, and the last world as a JRPG classic Final Fantasy series is also popular in Europe and the United States.
"Ship Girl Collection" has attracted the attention of some European and American players at the beginning of its listing in the 11th region, and now there are a large number of players from all over the world in the "Ship Girl Collection" operated by [Mirror Flower Water Moon], and you can log in to the all-English game after using a special login window developed by a player himself.
"Ship Niang Collection" is highly praised by European and American players and some game media as a browser game,In their eyes, the game framework of the game itself belongs to a cross-era work.,It's not an exaggeration to divide a game category for this.,On the contrary, it's a bit redundant as a cute sister of the ship girl.。
In October, the European and American game media got the [fake book] and released it as soon as possible after the agency of the "Ship Girl Collection" game, which attracted many gamers to cheer and celebrate, lamenting that they finally didn't need to play this game in Japanese or Chinese servers.
・・・・・・
On November 10th, the fourth volume of the "Fate/zero" novel was officially sold in Chiyo Bookstore's physical stores, and the increase brought by the seventeenth episode of the anime brought the sales volume of the fourth novel to exceed 100,000 on the day of its release. So far, the total sales of "Fate/zero" novels have exceeded 2 million! Throwing off the second-ranked "Brave Story" with a sales gap of more than 800,000 yuan, although it did not break the history of the 2.14 million annual sales of "Violet Blooming Garden", it is only a matter of time before the fourth volume of the novel continues to sell and the fifth volume that has not yet been sold to the outside world.
As a kind of entertainment literature, light novels are sought after by young people, but they are also criticized for being similar to animation, and the industry market is actually similar to the situation of Chinese online literature.
The most ironic sentence is "buy illustrations and get toilet paper." ”
It turns out that light novel readers really eat this set, and the light novel industry once investigated a data, and it was decided that the first sales of light novels largely depended on illustrations, followed by insignificant authorship and story themes. The wall of the famous work "InfiniteStratos" is probably the best example of this statement, the parents of the author of the novel, Bowstring Yihe, both commented that this work is written about some kind of bullshit, and hearing that his work has received such an evaluation, Bowstring Yihe, who is more "confident" in his work, can't help but start to complain.
At that time, in view of the fact that the bowstring Yihe once said on Twitter something similar to "I may be the greatest genius of this century", "I will not be awarded the title of the British girl in the palace." With such arrogance, netizens in District 11 continued to give him a heavy blow, and most of the comments were made except for illustrations, and your works were all dung.
The situation of Chinese Xiaobaiwen is similar, but Xiaobaiwen can become popular at least mostly by the author's own strength, and Xiaobaiwen cannot be written without skills.
The popularity of "InfiniteStratos", which is full of commercial elements (Crystal Palace, brainless meat sales, and vulgar plots), is certainly not only the reason for excellent illustrations, but also the light novel market is the same as that of Chinese online texts, even if most of these commercial elements are vulgar, the huge audience should not be underestimated.
The fourth volume of "Fate/zero" is released, and the most talked about by fans and readers is the length of the novel, each volume of the novel is almost equal to the word count of a light novel, and it needs to be split into several physical books for sale. How did Yu Kamiya, who is the animation supervisor of "Fate/zero", write so many words in such a short period of time? This question has become the most interesting unsolved mystery in the world of light novels.
The second is the novel illustration drawn by Yu Kamiya himself.,Yu Kamiya's reputation in the illustration world is only a lot bigger than in the animation industry.,Because the illustration style from his hand is too easy to recognize.,That kind of unparalleled illustration style is currently no illustrator can imitate.。
Many top illustrators have publicly praised Yu Kamiya's illustrations, the most famous is the turmoil caused by the mental model of "The Ship Girl Collection" just implemented the [Yuanshen], and at first there was a well-known illustrator who planned to draw a picture of himself to chat for comfort because he couldn't create a mental model of [Yuanshen]. However, after a week of hard work, he could only post a half-finished pair to his Twitter for help, saying that he couldn't draw [Yuanshen] anyway, and tried to copy it, but before he could color it, he felt a huge difference between the works.
As soon as this tweet came out, it attracted the attention of many illustrators at the time, who wanted to try it out and prove their strength as an illustrator. But a month later, all the illustrators who had drawn the illustrations of [Enshen] gave up, and many half-finished and bad works are still circulating on the Internet.
"Even if every line is exactly the same, you still can't copy the illustration."
"The illustration feels very subtle, and only if you look closely will you see how much effort the illustration has taken into the studio! I don't think anyone can copy this style. ”
"Failed..."
"I can't do it before I get to the painting stage...
Even if a top illustrator spent half a month drawing the "shape" of [Engami]'s illustrations, he planned to think about it for a long time in the coloring stage or give up, because he realized that his work was too far away from [Enjin] from the hand of Yuyuki Kamiya.
Then at that time, the illustrator began to study his illustrations with the consent of Yu Kamiya, and at that time, Yu Kamiya was still working on the "Madoka Magi" anime, and he forgot about such a trivial matter as he turned his head and promised verbally. It is also because of this research that the reason for the strange charm of Yuu Kamiya's illustrations has been unraveled, and his drawing habits are very different from the mainstream painting habits, almost with the accuracy of mechanical copying, which can cause completely different results without a single stroke, and even if the lines are completely reproduced, the color painting has become the most critical and impossible place to copy by hand.
Yu Kamiya's illustration skills are integrated into the style of the original painting moon in this world, and most of them are summarized and learned from the illustration industry that has been very mature in the previous world, including skills and styles, which are very different from the illustration industry in this world.
A beautiful illustration from 20 years ago will be far inferior due to many factors. Even if the limitations of computer technology make this part of the distance not seem so far away, Yuu Kamiya's own hand-drawn illustration ability is really not something that ordinary artists can imitate at will.
After this incident, Yu Kamiya is almost unknown to everyone in the illustration industry in the entire 11th district, because of the irreproducibility of his illustrations, many readers who are interested in illustrations think that illustrations alone have extremely high collection value.
"Fate/zero" is at the top of the light novel industry in terms of novel length, innovative themes, wonderful plots, and beautiful illustrations, which are crucial to the sales of light novels. As a result, although the anime could not break through the miracle of the creation of "Madoka Magical Girl", the light novel as a byproduct to complete the animation achieved almost the same miracle in the light novel world.
