163. The unchanging sky
When I was out of school, I suddenly received a strange phone call.
"Congratulations, little girl."
The voice that Mirai heard was the person in charge of the outsourcing company. She was a little curious as to why this person was calling her. Generally speaking, I should have slapped him in the face at this time, but I didn't have a hobby of slapping his face, so I didn't bother to care about him. According to reason, he should be hiding from himself, how could he still come to the door.
The man said, "I didn't want to say anything, but I saw your animation last night." Then I thought about the finished draft. Suddenly I felt like I understood something. ”
"What do you understand?" The future feels a little inexplicable.
"It's really hard to live as a human being, and it's really hard to live by holding on to something. Everything in the world is as unpredictable as the sky, and it is so difficult to maintain your original intention, whether it is your feelings for someone, or your feelings for something, whether it is your love or your dreams, and you want to never change. After all, your enemy is the world, the real light. ”
"You ......"
"Don't forget, I gave you the original painting, and I can see it before I submit it."
"Do you want to leak it out?" Future thinks he's threatening himself.
"How is it possible, if you want to retaliate, I can just drag it out and not submit it before. I don't mean anything else, I just want to say hello. As a senior who has changed, encourage the juniors who have not changed, come on. ”
Future was about to ask, but the man hung up.
The future is a little inexplicable towards the company.,Found that Hosoda Hu was still drawing.,She's going to ask Hosoda Go.。 However, I found that Hosoda was not drawing any people or landscapes, but things like table patterns.
"What is this?"
Hosoda explained, "I'm looking to see if there are any improvements in the future. ”
"Oh, I see!" The future is very excited to stand up, ready to discuss.
Hosoda stopped her and said, "Don't interfere anymore." ”
There are some doubts about the future.
Hosoda looked a little incomprehensible in the future, and couldn't help but pat his head and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to teach you." I've always wanted to teach you about abilities, but I realized that you didn't need to, so I forgot to tell you everything else. It was really my mistake. ”
Mirai sat down and listened carefully to Hosoda's explanation.
Hosoda said to the future, "You know, our animation was made from the beginning, and you should have seen the flowchart of the production. ”
"Oh, I do, but I think it's just a way to get your money back faster and save money."
"No wonder you're not careful with that." Hosoda explained in detail that "animation production is divided into many groups, because there is only one supervisor, and it is impossible to have many people performing scripts, and if there are too many of them, it will be more difficult to unify the style. So, one person may be in charge of several episodes. ”
"I know that very well."
"We only have our own people in charge of the first episode, and the rest is basically solved by outsourcing, do you remember that because of the outsourcing situation, we breached the contract......"
"That can't be considered a breach of contract!" Future interrupted Hosoda with some determination.
Hosoda said: "Even if it wasn't our fault, it's actually very dangerous, especially if you're as aggressive as you, if you push the other party into a hurry, they drag it and don't hand in the original painting, we must not be able to hold it." Because even if we had the money, we didn't have time to draw the original picture. ”
"So you're acting too carelessly, whether it's going to negotiate with the outsourcing company before, or adding shots before. Although the results were successful, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing. ”
"Why?"
"Because you're too careless!" Hosoda's tone became stern. "You're very individual and talented. But you never know how to rely on other people. Moreover, I don't understand the rules of this world. ”
"Outsourcing reduces quality, but you can't add lenses."
"It's a break with outsourcing, and there's a temporary increase in lenses. Even though there are only some shots, it is possible to do this, and it has a good effect. But you have to be clear that our progress is already very dangerous because of the temporary substitutions. I even considered delaying the episode for a week to buy us time. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know I was so nervous."
"I didn't want you to worry too much before, but don't worry, there's no need to use such a method as the general episode now. The first is that the people who change adapt quickly, and the second is because there are more people who change than the original. Originally, I moved the production staff of the later episodes to the front, so that the later episodes were very small, which was originally a big bad thing, but because of these new people, it became a good thing. It can be done by a person with a higher level of proficiency to complete the final key content. ”
At the time of outsourcing and discovering the problem, the anime was only broadcast for two or three episodes. But most of the original drawings and animations have been basically completed, but the follow-up work has not been completed, and then the original drawings and animations were handed over to a new company, and the early stage was dragged out by reluctant corrections.
Since then, the new company members have developed to a level that the latest episode has reached a level that the previous outsourcing company would never have been able to achieve.
The animation is made like dominoes, and once there is a problem in the front, the problem in the back will get bigger and bigger.
When the first episode is finished, the second episode will be almost finished. By aligning the gears in such a way that these few jobs are supervised, it is necessary to work hard every week.
The animation production company will send the V to the TV station before it airs. For TV stations, this is naturally the sooner it is sent, the more reassuring it is. It's usually about a week, and if you can finish it a few weeks ago, it's of course very good, which means that the production team is running very well. Like the future, it was not completed until it was broadcast, and it was actually on the verge of collapse. But it wasn't in a hurry, but because of a temporary revision, so Hosoda was able to accept it. But if it weren't for the fact that Nozomi has a very strong relationship with the TV station, and the ratings after that are so high, I'm afraid the TV station won't let them go so easily in the future.
"I thought it was a great plan, and it was really just a small change, so I agreed. But I ignored you. I didn't even notice that you were thinking like that. Because I have a new idea, I have to make temporary changes, which can easily make other staff members collapse. Such things should be avoided as much as possible. ”
"Don't want to cause trouble for other people? That's what enough Japanese people think. Future sighed.
"Of course, quality and broadcasting should be equally important, but normal broadcasting should be prioritized before quality can be considered."
"Compromise, and then do the best?"
Future couldn't help but mutter.
"That's right, that's the tradition of Japanese animation."
"Really? I'll apologize to studio.deen and the rest of the team. ”
Mirai lowered his head and looked at his feet.
"After how many compromises, can we still stick to our original intentions?"
"The world is like the sky changing, but I hope the original intention will never change."
"This is the theme we have determined, and as a result, the first thing we can't do is ourselves!"
Hearing the words of the future, Hosoda couldn't help but sigh, but said in a low voice: "Because what we are facing is not an evil villain organization, but the most normal in this world, rules." ”
After a long time, Future raised his head and asked, "By the way, the person in charge of the outsourcing company called me before." ”
"Really? It's goodbye! ”
"Farewell?"
"Well, he's already taken the blame and resigned."
"Blame?" The future noticed this, and couldn't help but tighten in his heart: "What did he do?" ”
"Who knows? I guess I did something that was considered to be damaging to the company's interests. ”
"Actions that damage the interests of the company?"
"For example...... The manuscript was handed over without any conditions. (To be continued.) )
