Chapter 219: Uncompromising

Wang Yang attaches more importance to the adaptation of the Japanese version of the animation of "Slam Dunk", this classic comic has a particularly classic Japanese theme song called "I want to say I love you out loud", is a song sung by the BAAD group, this Japanese band was founded in 1992, the lead singer is called Kyoji Yamada, and there are bassist Kobayashi Masadi, drummer Arai Kande, but unfortunately BAAD belongs to the Being company, Chinese meaning "existence company" also has other very good bands B'z, ZARD, WANDS, These two bands accounted for 7% of the Japanese record sales in the 90s, with a total sales of 45 billion, or about 2.5 billion Chinese dollars, and they are definitely the brilliant bands in the history of Japanese music.

Naturally, the existence of the company ignored the obscure little band BAAD.

In 1998, the BAAD band disbanded, and in his previous life, he was the soundtrack for "Slam Dunk", and now it has been almost ten years since the band disbanded.

He asked the responsible person of Shanghi Xingchi to come to verify it to see if the BAAD members, especially the lead singer Kyoji Yamada, an excellent singer, are still engaged in acting, so that he can also match the original music to Slam Dunk.

Fans who like Slam Dunk, in fact, will pay attention to Kyoji Yamada, who is a very talented musician, and I just want to say out loud I love you The theme song of Slam Dunk, which was actually written by this musician.

Bear Culture Music Company contacted the Japanese existence company, took some contact information from there, and within a few days, news came that Kyoji Yamada had died of a serious illness.

"I'm seriously ill and dead!" After Wang Yang got the news, he was still very shocked and regretful, a musician who can write a good song is still very rare in this world. It's a pity that Kyoji Yamada was born at the wrong time, and he had a very bad luck in life.

Hongyue asked curiously: "You can't also write songs, why bother to find a singer who is outdated in Japan?" ”

"Hey, you don't understand it."

Wang Yang was like this, which naturally made her roll her eyes.

Kyoji Yamada died, and Wang Yang could only go into battle in person to create "I want to say I love you loudly".

"Bring me my guitar."

"En. Get it right away. ”

She especially likes Wang Yang to create music at home, which is a good benefit for her as Wang Yang's wife, she can always hear the best pop music first, and her husband's voice is really magnetic, and her voice is also good, Hongyue has actually been advocating him to record an album.

Wang Yang didn't agree, on the one hand, he plagiarized very few songs, and if he wanted to record the album by himself, it would take a lot of thought, time, and energy. His novels still need to be updated, the company also needs to be dotted, and usually when there is no way, he will bother to plagiarize music.

Plagiarizing music is much more difficult than fiction, which is at least familiar to him, and can be processed and adapted as he pleases, and turned into his own style, while music is really unfamiliar territory. Even if I have studied it specifically, it is for the convenience of creation. is really compared with professional singers like Dong Chou, Luo Xiaozhu, and Ah Mei, he is still very amateur.

“mabuxi…… heizexiwosaili……”

While playing the guitar, Wang Yang simply hummed "I want to say I love you loudly" in Japanese, and this song will be better sung in Japanese.

It was also his first time composing a Japanese song.

As soon as Hongyue heard this, she picked up a magazine on the table and flipped through it, telling the truth. She was a little disappointed with this song, not only did she not understand it, but he also sang it in general.

"Why don't I like you so much!" When Wang Yang saw his wife's blow expression, his mood naturally became bad immediately. Turning away, he stopped looking at her.

"Well, you dare not like me!"

After the two had a fight, Hongyue recorded some music for him, and recorded it with his mobile phone, Wang Yang listened to it himself, and naturally felt that it was a little bad, and in the end, after thinking about it, he could only write the lyrics and songs, and then listen to the brother of the Japanese male singer to see if there was a singer of the same type.

The experience of studying abroad in Japan has given Wang Yang more connections in Japan, such as Manami, Emi and Mai, the three beauties, he created "I want to say I love you out loud", and after simply recording a model, he passed it on to his three Japanese female classmates.

Manami likes music, and when she heard such a Japanese song that Tuyuan-kun sent to herself, she naturally had a little misunderstanding.

Almost on the day it was posted, Manami quietly called.

Her voice was sweet, with a Japanese bass: "Tuyuan-kun, we, when will we be able to meet, I also have a lot to say to you." ”

Wang Yang listened to her voice, he was also drunk, he really knew why there were fewer infatuated and single-minded men, but it was a pity that he immediately sobered up, said a few words politely, and asked: "Xiaomei, I don't know if you can't recommend me two Japanese pop male singers, with passionate and high-pitched voices, similar to singers or bands like Zhang Jie and Yuquan in our country?" ”

“X-Japan、Mr.Childre、LArc~en~Ciel、. GlayGLAY? Manami said the names of her favorite bands in a row.

Wang Yang listened, he actually knows a lot, the rock style of these bands is still relatively obvious, as for whether it is suitable to sing "I want to say I love you loudly" is really difficult to judge.

He thought about it and tried it out to find a Japanese band "Mr. Childre" that was more suitable and he still preferred.

"Mr. Childre's lead singer Kazutoshi Sakurada sings very well, and their band has won 25 championships, making it the second largest band in Japan!" Manami also strongly recommends it.

Wang Yang pouted: "I know this, but it's also very expensive." ”

Manami smiled and said, "Ha~ Oh, Tuyuan-kun, you're not very rich." ”

"Then I'll contact him."

"Yay! Tuyuanjun, you have to sign for me. Courier to me. ”

"Well, I wish you a happy life in the future."

"yes, what's the deal." Manami used her Japanese girl's unique voice to sell cuteness for a moment before hanging up the phone.

Wang Yang's bones are really soft, which is too much.

Moda, this Internet word. It has only recently become popular, and it originated from his Wang Junjie post bar.

……

……

In the office building of an apbank non-profit organization, Tokkai, Japan.

After the end of the golden age of records, singers nowadays are basically rarely making albums, and even if they do, they will not be so fanfare, and more are still promoted and produced on Internet music platforms.

AAPBANK is a non-profit charitable organization founded by Kazutoshi Sakurada, Takeshi Kobayashi and Ryu Sakamoto, specifically to donate money to some places where disasters have occurred.

Kazutoshi Sakurada for 70 years is actually a celebrity who does charity and public welfare.

Naturally, the band is doing the same. However, he still uses charity to perform charity more, and puts the money he earns in the AP fund for charity assistance.

On this day, Sakurada Kazushou was contacted, he downloaded the email sent by Wang Yang on his tablet, and after seeing the score and lyrics of "I want to say I love you loudly", he also immediately replied to the email and said:

- "Hello, Tuyuan-kun. I'm honored to have you invite me and my band to sing this "I want to say I love you so loudly" song, but I'm not a commercial singer right now. I set up the AP Fund so that our band can sing songs for you, but we need your generosity and generosity, because there are still many places in this world where hunger and pain exist. ”

After Wang Yang received the email, he thought about it for a while. Reply to the email right away:

- "Hello Kazutoshi Sakurada, I admire people who do charity and public welfare very much, you are a very caring person, I am very moved, for this song "I want to say I love you loudly". I would like to donate 60 million yen to your AP Foundation as a reward, and I would also like to implore Sakurada to use this song as a charity theme song for AP this year, or the next two to three years, and sing it on various occasions, and my "Slam Dunk" animation is also a work with a healthy, positive energy, and positivity, so we need such a theme song, a theme song that needs to have power. ”

After Kazutoshi Sakurada read his email, he was pleasantly surprised, because 60 million yen is definitely too expensive, even if their band is very famous, but it can't be worth 60 million yen for a song.

After the two communicated by email, Wang Yang sent a supervisor to go abroad with an interpreter to meet Sakurada Kazutoshi and sign the relevant contract.

He is donating 60 million yen here, and he is naturally guaranteed to create "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly".

Kazutoshi Sakurada is passionate about charity, and he and his band are also busy in order to launch this public welfare song as soon as possible.

It was only three days, and the first version of "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" was sent to Wang Yang.

After Wang Yang auditioned, he felt that his strength was not enough, and after sending an email to put forward some suggestions, and after two days of adjustment, this song is almost the same as in his previous life, which will leave a deep impression after his ears.

He is in the Xingchi Group, and he deliberately asked the animator to start embedding the opening song, as for the Japanese version of "Slam Dunk", which is currently only doing animation colors, but the dubbing still needs to go to Japan to specially invite voice actors to do it.

The Chinese version of "Slam Dunk" has made great adjustments in the scene, the name and address of the school, including the daily culture, which is more in line with the color of China.

The Chinese version of "Slam Dunk" dubbing is all invited professional voice actors, including a big-name actor, the voice is very distinctive Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Zhou Dong, Wang Min to dub some adults, such as teachers and coaches, including the voices of parents who are the protagonists and supporting roles.

In terms of production, the production cost of the Chinese version of "Slam Dunk" is higher, and now 30 episodes have been made, and 52 million Chinese dollars have been invested, which is already a very high cost in the production of animation.

Obviously, Wang Yang is doing animation in the 21st century. Whether it is the picture quality or the special effects of the animation, it is relatively realistic, unlike the 80s and 90s, it may be that countless rough pictures can cope with things, and now "Slam Dunk" is to have 2D and 3D models of characters. Including the scenes, it is good to spend some more delicate production.

30 episodes are 52 million, and according to the number of 101 episodes, it is basically about 100 million.

Animation works can actually be lazy and save costs, for example, the models of characters and scenes are created, which can be used many times, including some scenes that are automatically generated, which can be done by technology.

In fact, after Wang Yang made "Slam Dunk", "Slam Dunk 2" and even 3, 4, and 5 can be done again according to the response.

Because when the basics are there. In many cases, you don't need to add too many new elements in the future, or as long as you make some modifications on the basis of the previous one, you can continue to make money.

Japanese comics are actually an industrial technology in Japan.,Once there's a good beginning.,Then the follow-up comics will continue to be done like online novels.。

"Slam Dunk" is undoubtedly the most important fist product of Wang Yang Xingchi Group for at least 20 years in the future, and the benefit of this product is to continue to do it. Able to make at least one or even two generations of youth within Asia. will love competitive basketball.

This kind of youth campus animation can be popular all the time.

"Slam Dunk" is not just a theme song, a lot of Japanese dubbing has to be added in the middle, and the Chinese version is easier to handle, Wang Yang himself met Zhou Dong, and indirectly knew more singers.

Chou Dong is also very cooperative. contributed a total of eight fast-paced music, such as "Ninja", "Coward", "General", "Bullfight", "Wounded to Stop the War", "Embattled", "Blue Storm", and "Three Years and Two Classes", among which the lyrics are used, that is, "Coward", "Bullfight", "Three Years and Two Classes", and the others are used for soundtracks.

If you are not a fan of Zhou J, you will not know that Zhou J has a lot of music in fast tempo. And most of them are very exciting.

Zhou J is actually still a rapper in Wang Yang's heart, this is not a joke, many people say that Zhou J is a singer with a big tongue, but if you listen to the song "Death of the War", you will find that Zhou J's rap is also very powerful.

Of course, Zhou J's music style is multi-elemental, so this is also the reason why he has been able to be popular, the king of records in Asia in the 21st century, and a new king of Chinese entertainment pop music.

Fast songs are rap and make young people feel cool, and slow songs are also very affectionate and touching.

……

……

Huaxia CCTV Children's Channel.

Wang Yang came over today with the 50 episodes of the Chinese version of "Slam Dunk", and came to watch the film with the leaders and directors of the children's channel.

Because the domestic animation industry is in a very passive position, there are also good works that have appeared in recent years, such as some animations of "Journey to the West", and they have been continuously adapted, and there are many versions, which are very famous in Asia and even the world.

But can the four masterpieces save an industry?

is obviously impossible, the mythological classics are "Journey to the West", "Fengshen Bang", "Sou Shen Ji", "Liao Zhai Yizhi", these works have been adapted I don't know how many times.

It's not impossible to adapt it all the time, but it's possible that after adaptation, it's still not as famous as some of the older versions.

It's like Journey to the West produced by CCTV, no matter how good the special effects of the new Journey to the West are, but after restoring the original work, when it is filmed for everyone to see, it is really very ordinary, and it is not as good as the original work.

Wang Yang didn't dare to touch the adaptation of the four famous novels, although these classic things don't need any copyright, but it is actually quite difficult to get them, at least to get the Chinese cultural heritage, as well as the association of the four famous works, including the recognition of the national audience, which is not easy.

However, some well-known domestic TV series in China, especially those filming ancient costumes, will more or less remake and remake.

It's like Jin Gu's novel, in the eighties and nineties, as long as the film and television company was short of money, it would immediately come out and remake some works.

……

……

In a screening room, the Chinese version of "Slam Dunk" was released to the public for the first time. Screened on a 180-size screen.

Because it is refined, it is actually a great visual pleasure to watch it on such a large screen.

When watching some film and television animation works with good picture quality on the big screen, I feel absolutely shocked.

One of the theme songs at the beginning of the Chinese version of "Slam Dunk" is - Zhou Dong's "Bullfighting".

"If there's anything wrong, just say it

Don't nest in a corner. If you are not happy, refute it

What the hell is it, do you understand basketball?

There's a kind of don't go, three-on-three bullfighting, three-point shots, and it stays in the air

Everybody looked at me, parabolic goal

Dribble with one hand, and make a wonderful pass under the basket

Nice feints, handsome and stunning......"

is such a theme song of Dong Chou, plus an overall picture cut by "Slam Dunk". After a beginning of about 1 minute and 35 seconds, it's the content of the first episode.

The people on the children's channel touched their mouths, and they exchanged discussions.

"I can't understand whose song or language is used in this."

"The lyrics are too unpositive, our children's channel is facing the future flowers of the motherland, how can we use such song lyrics?"

Wang Yang listened to the discussion of the TV station in his ears. He was also holding back his rebuttal.

Why are the lyrics of "Bullfighting" not positive?

Well, there's the phrase - "I've wanted to beat you up for a long time." Don't think about leaving, say your eyes are on me! ”

This is probably the only content in "Bullfight" that has a little bit of violence.

Wang Yang also endured it, and after they reviewed and watched a few episodes, the director paused.

He looked at Wang Yang and put forward his opinion and said: "Let's change this opening song, Zhou J's music should not be transmitted to the future of the motherland." ”

Wang Yang felt that he didn't understand the meaning of the words of the director of the children's station.

Is this a ban on Zhou J?

Wang Yang thought for a moment. He didn't say anything like not banning, and just said: "We definitely want to use this song, the copyright has been purchased, and the money has been spent." ”

The director smiled when he heard it, obviously thinking that Wang Yang was a little uninteresting.

……

……

An hour later. Wang Yang left the TV station, and he also felt that this radio station was hostile to Dong Chou.

"Hey, there's no way, there's too much music from Dong Chou in it, since they don't want it, then we can only find Provincial Satellite TV."

Wang Yang called Hongyue to tell him about it.

She smiled and said: "You are really, can you be a little more sleek, Dong Chou is a lot of people, don't get involved, the director of the station asks you to change the theme song, you can change it, give face." ”

"Ma Dan, give him a face, why should I give him a face, isn't it CCTV! My slam dunk has left this channel, can't it still be popular? ”

Wang Yang will not compromise easily.

What are you kidding, this animation work has already invested a lot of publicity resources into it, and CCTV is not chosen because the ratings of this TV station are relatively stable and occupy a relatively large market in the country.

If you choose provincial satellite TV, it's more troublesome, but it doesn't mean that it won't be popular.

And he also wants the children's channel to know one thing, that is, when this anime becomes popular, not to mention the children's channel, it is something else, for example, TV1 will also be moved by the ratings.

Wang Yang's slam dunk is not another work, the ratings must be guaranteed, and this group of people is really able to respond to people!

He thought about it for the past two days, and then went to find his old partner-Shanghi Satellite TV.

Not to mention, it's still good to be a TV station in his hometown, Wang Yang was a guest in the past, and the reception was good, the director said with a happy face: "Oh, I thought that the slam dunk master must be taken away by CCTV, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would not forget his hometown!" ”

"Ah, hehe......" Wang Yang also laughed when he heard it, and he didn't know if the director of Shanghi Satellite TV really didn't know, or deliberately pretended not to know.

But it doesn't matter, it's also a good thing to broadcast Slam Dunk on Shanghi Satellite TV.

Because this is an anime for teenagers, the timing of the broadcast is definitely the best before seven o'clock in the news network.

"Mr. Wang, you see that we play continuously every day from 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock, two episodes are played continuously, except for an opening song 1.35, there is also a 10-minute advertising time, the advertising share of this time period, how about we open 55?"

"Okay, great."

Wang Yang naturally agreed on the spot, if the children in CCTV are basically bought out, the price is not necessarily high, that is, in his hometown satellite TV, he can share the advertising fee of 55 Kai. (To be continued......)
