Chapter 303: KyoAni Keeps Up with Meiying
Of course, although Jester knew that this game could not be the work of Sulfuric Face Itagaki Companion, he also knew that this game was very famous in the history of his memory.
After a cursory look, it's similar to the one in his memory, it should be made by the original team of the pants off demon, but this game characterized by difficulty Jester has never played through the level, because the design of some places is simply too fucked, thought about it for a while, and then Jester wrote a 10,000-word building book about the FC version of "Ninja Quest" in his mind, and then sent it to Hideo Kojima along with his own opinion agreeing to the appropriation.
At the same time, Jester is also asking Hideo Kojima if he has any ideas and ideas for "Metal Gear Solid II" recently, and if there is, he will do his best to complete the project and prepare to make Zuò on the new console.
Hideo Kojima was surprised when he received this fax, because he is based in Japan, and Mars Entertainment's hardware development centers are basically in the United States, so he doesn't know so much about the progress of hardware development in the company, before he only heard that it may be released at the end of the year, and now he sees his boss asking about his new game, so that is, the release at the end of the year may be true?
But Hideo Kojima is really uninspired now, he is not the kind of person who desperately forces himself to think without inspiration, but goes with the flow, so he can only call his boss Jester back and explain the situation to him, and Jester doesn't care, after all, he understands Hideo Kojima's character.
And a game like Metal Gear Solid that is so prominent in genre really doesn't have much to follow.
After that, Jester went back to the heavy quest of "Pokemon" for more than a week. Illusion Studios sent a short trial shot of the Pokemon he wanted, which was written by Jester, and then he drew his own sketches of the main characters and the Pokemon inside. Then let the illusion studio make zuò.
And Jester also made a point of explaining the style he wanted, but when he got the tape and watched it in the VCR. But he frowned.
In this three-minute clip, Jester only watched it for a minute and then pressed the pause, then got up, walked to the TV, and turned off the TV that was paused, because he had no need to continue watching, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the production of the illusion studio. When the other party left Mars Entertainment, he made a special statement about the style he wanted, but it was obvious that the other party didn't take what he said at the time to heart, and he still did his own thing.
Jester, who was a little angry, immediately called to question, but the illusion studio was also a little difficult to handle, because this is the style they have cultivated for many years, and it is not impossible to make them suddenly transform, but it will take time, and now they have their own tasks. If you want to do this "Pokemon" according to Jester's request, you will have to wait at least until the task at hand is over, unless Jester forcibly asks for it as the boss.
Jester himself rarely interferes with these industries that he doesn't understand. Since his own animation company doesn't want to take over, Jester plans to change it.
He really came up with two alternatives during this time, both of which are currently very powerful, but their fame may not be big in the world, one is a lonely giant, the works of this animation company have shocked the world, and the other is a newborn calf, which is still very small, but it has also produced several independent works. The level is very good.
One of them is Shangmei Film in Shanghai, a once-famous animation company.
Jester was also very familiar with him. Because of his life, he grew up watching the works of this animation company. He is extremely confident in the production level of this animation company, but he just doesn't know if they can fulfill their requirements for "Pokemon".
The other is an animation company that is not well-known now, but it will be very famous in the future, the founder of this animation company is called Hatta Hideaki, and the name of the company is Kyoto Animation, but later fans like to call him KyoAni, which is the pronunciation of Kyoto Animation, although this animation company has made many classics and even produced a "Pokémon" in later generations, but now, it is just a studio that has just been established for a long time.
At first, it was just a small studio set up by Hideaki Hatta, who used to be the assistant of the manga god Osamu Tezuka, to color the manga, but as the studio slowly grew bigger, it became a real company, and at the beginning of last year, it also established an animation department, and represented the outsourcing of several animations, all of which were done very well, and in Jester's idea, the advantages of these two companies were combined, just enough to make Zuò "Pokemon".
He doesn't worry about the painting style of the beautiful film.,No, he can let the people of Kyoto Animation supervise.,In terms of numbers, the number of beautiful pictures is not lacking in the most important thing in the country of Z is people.,And in terms of the basic skills of animation,The level of these people is very high.,All of them are from professional classes.,And they studied under famous teachers.,At this point,It's incomparable to those painters in Japan.,Of course,This also makes their creative zào not as strong as Japanese painters.,It will always make their compositions more old-fashioned.。
However, by combining the two, it may be possible to solve this problem smoothly.
Jester immediately contacted Shangmeiying through people in China, and Shangmeiying's response to Jester's mention was very enthusiastic, and he was even willing to stop the project they were working on now, and draw out all the elites to complete Jester's project, in addition to Jester's current transcendent status in China, there is also the fact that he got genuine dollars for Jester's animation.
Shangmeiying has not outsourced to a foreign animation company, they have outsourced the composition for Disney some time ago, which shows that their level is very high.
And to make a TV version of "Pokemon", for the delicate composition of Cheng dù must be far inferior to the movie required by Disney.
Since there are no problems in the country, and it can even be regarded as an administrative task, and now Shangmeiying's own life is not very good, so Jester is not worried about what will go wrong, and then he will contact the Japanese side.
Of course, this trivial matter naturally does not need Jester to intervene in person, if he talks about a project with a small animation company that may not even have a million dollars, and allows a multi-billion dollar person like him to do it himself, then what is he spending so much money to hire so many people.
You don't even need the president of Mars Entertainment Japan to come forward, just go to a middle level.
Kaichiro Emoto is a deputy section chief of the third business department of the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment, and Hideaki Hatta was also quite surprised by the arrival of the other party, he was just very strange, how could the other party be interested in such a small company as himself, and it was also a famous Mars Entertainment, and even when he saw Kaichiro Emoto's business card, he was still thinking that this would not be a liar.
But fortunately, Hideaki Hatta was relieved after contacting the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment by phone.
After listening to what Eimoto Kaichiro said, the first thing that flashed from Hatta Hideaki's eyes was a look of ecstasy, especially after hearing the amount of investment in this animation called "Pokemon" and the promotion efforts that will be received later, Hatta Hideaki's joy even appeared directly on his face, but when I heard this statement called Emoto Kaichiro, they Kyoto Animation is just an auxiliary, although in terms of scale, Kyoto Animation is really nothing in Japan, and he is now mainly outsourcing, But if the person you want to help is a large Japanese animation company, it's fine, but it's only an animation company in country Z! But is there really an animation company in country Z?
"It's Shangmeiying."
Kaichiro Emoto didn't know if there was an animation company in country Z, but he still got some information before he came, so when faced with the question of this person named Hideaki Hatta, he simply said this name that sounded a little tongue-twisting to him.
However, when Hatta Hideaki heard Kaichiro Emoto say this name, his face instantly showed a look of sudden realization, and then, there was a solemn look of respect.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, since it is from country Z, it must be Shangmeiying."
The reason why Hatta Hideaki is so familiar with and reveres Shangmei Film is not only that Shangmei Film has indeed produced works that really shock the world, but also from his identity.
His identity is very lofty in the Japanese manga industry, because he used to be the assistant of the god of manga, in other words, it can also be said that he is a disciple of the god of manga, Osamu Tezuka, and Osamu Tezuka, as a manga artist, as a revered character, is the founder of Shangmei Film, the first generation of manga artist in country Z, Mr. Wan Laiming.
At that time, he was still a hot-blooded young man, and Osamu Tezuka, who studied medicine in school, was shocked by the "Iron Fan Princess" made by Wan Lai Ming, and had an idea of when we would be able to produce such a great animation in Japan, so I gave up medicine and followed painting, and finally became the god of a generation of comics, and it is not an exaggeration to say that without Osamu Tezuka, there would be no Japanese anime.
And the person Osamu Tezuka admires the most is the founder of Kamitsuk, Mr. Wan Laiming.
And Hatta Hideaki, who is the assistant of Osamu Tezuka, will naturally love Yaya and Wu, and he also has great respect for his mentor's idol. (To be continued)
