Chapter 361: An Anime Genius Who Strengthens His Wings
In Shen Zhenghui's limited memory, Monty. Ohm is not an anime genius known for his speed. Yes, he was able to shoot a great 3D fight plot on his own, which attracted a large number of fans who were very interested in the animated 3D fighting genre, but this was more because of the niche of 3D fighting in the animated genre. But because of this, Mundy. Ohm is valued as a special talent because he happens to be working on a path that is missing from mainstream anime. Shoji Murahama wanted to revive GONZO with 3D technology, so he turned to Monty. Ohm, but he didn't realize that Mundy. Ohm's interest in 3D is limited to a very small genre, which is the fighting genre. Therefore, the difference in philosophy makes it difficult for Murahama Shoji to make good use of this special talent. Even in Liu Xin's hands, it is difficult for Mondiom to have room to play, because although Liu Xin's theme is not cute, it is also the path of the mainstream anime theme, and fighting cannot become the theme.
So be the first to realize Monty. Ohm's role is instead Miyamoto, who has been with the Shigetsu duo Mushroom and Takeuchi Takashi for a long time, so he has deeply watched the development of combat anime, and Miyamoto, who has participated in several 3D film productions as a director, also realizes that 3D will also be a direction for the development of anime. Hollywood has set a good example. The release of "Kung Fu Panda" in 2008 played a very important role. So Miyamoto was in contact with Monty. Ohm, and there is an idea to pull him into Type-moon as well, and Type-moon, although nominally a subsidiary of Kasuga, is actually operationally independent. Mundy. Ohm is also interested in the world of the moon, but he is more interested in 3D fighting, so after completing Shen Zhenghui's proposition composition, he accepted the task he wanted - the 3D animation adaptation of "The King of Fighters".
Miyamoto in Monti. Ohm's team played a huge role in the formation of the team, otherwise with the emotional intelligence of this unruly genius. As well as the special group concept of the Japanese, he simply can't recruit enough people. But after Miyamoto's coordination, Type-moon also intervened in the production of "The King of Fighters", because Miyamoto told Mushroom and Takeuchi that this was to accumulate experience for 3D animation, and Type-moon's young game production staff and young programmers who were poached from Liu Xin were stuffed into Mondy. Ohm's hand. Young people have some shortcomings. But once everyone is interested in work, the speed is a thousand miles a day, and Monty. Ohm's technical prowess has finally established himself in the team.
The Japanese and Chinese staff were thrilled with the story of The King of Fighters anime movie, many of whom grew up playing arcade machines and were deeply influenced by the game. At the same time, they are inspired by their sense of purpose. Both Japanese and Chinese want authentic 3D animated films, which can be regarded as an uneasy reaction under Hollywood movies. Of course, perhaps the Chinese working in the crew are a little lower, and they are still regretting that they cannot produce the same type of film in their country. But this regret was quickly filled. The crew of "The Return of the Great Sage" was stationed in the work territory of the crew of "The King of Fighters".
After Shen Zhenghui was interested in Director Tian's script, the domestic film companies that followed him changed their attitudes towards Director Tian's script, and Director Tian, who originally hoped to raise about 20 million yuan for filming, got nearly 200 million yuan in his hand in a blink of an eye.
"I talked to him," Miyamoto reported. "Originally, he still wanted to go back to China to make zuò cartoons, but I told him that China's 3D animation production technology is not yet mature. He was able to bring it to Japan and he was able to get technical support. He added, "It worked very well, and Monty and the others were also very interested in the theme of 'The Return of the Great Sage', and they also exchanged their action designs for 3D fights, which was very inspiring to each other." Actually, I want to say that not only is The King of Fighters quite fast. And "The Return of the Great Sage" has also entered the fast lane. Miyamoto paused, "I believe that both films will be released next year." ”
"It doesn't have to be so fast, right?" Shen Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, "For example, it took five years to make "Kung Fu Panda", you are really sure that it can be so fast, you must know that this is 3D." He spread his hands, "Compared to 2D animation, you can't speed up the progress by working overtime." ”
"Well, actually, yes." Miyamoto said with some embarrassment.
"What can be? Speed up the process? Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.
"It's okay to work overtime." Miyamoto replied, "Actually, our staff work more than twelve hours a day, and there are many young people who live in the office. I don't know how DreamWorks does it, but I think there's a reason why we're moving fast. ”
Shen Zhenghui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Japan's Ministry of Health and Welfare didn't find me trouble?" ”
"The employees are all voluntary," Miyamoto replied, "and of course they are paid overtime." ”
"Then why is "The Return of the Great Sage" so fast?"
"The Chinese work overtime more ruthlessly than us!" Miyamoto replied.
"Mr. Miyamoto, it's rare that you care so much about animated films while directing FateZero!" Shen Zhenghui tilted his head, "How the final box office of "FateZero" is related to your future, don't you think you are too distracted?" ”
"FateZero is on its track," Miyamoto replied immediately, "and I don't feel like it's taking my energy in." Then he changed his sincere face, "Mr. Shen, I really hope to do a good job in "FateZero", but I also hope that "The King of Fighters" can have a good result. ”
Shen Zhenghui took a deep breath, then shook his head again, "Okay, forget it." He pursed his lips, "So you're just here to tell me the good news?" ”
"Well, not exactly," Miyamoto said, his mouth wide open, paused, and then tentatively said, "I'd like to apply to you to form Monty's private animation studio." ”
Shen Zhenghui stared at Miyamoto with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "You're so optimistic about this kid? Shouldn't I wait until after the release of "The King of Fighters" and see the box office before coming to me to say these things? In this way, we will be able to give him more benefits. ”
Miyamoto swallowed, "I haven't known him for long," he said, "but I think he's a genius animator type." Especially with such a unique subject matter, we really need a director like him. Miyamoto was very serious, "In the future, whether it is the same type of subject matter or the movieization of the world of the moon, it will be needed." Also, we don't have any time left," he said in a very strict manner, "3D movies are a big trend, not to mention Japan in terms of technology. Let's just say that the whole of Asia has fallen behind Hollywood, and under the impact of Hollywood, our films can only be released in China, and they are suppressed by Hollywood in the international market, even in the field of animation. He said, "Monty is a powerful tool for us to challenge the international animation market. ”
"With that in mind, you should be a little more nervous about FateZero." Shen Zhenghui was not moved by Miyamoto, but raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry too much about technology." In the Internet era, the diffusion of technology is very fast, but some aspects take the lead and it does save a lot of effort. Otherwise, what do you think we bought Colombia for? ”
Miyamoto breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine," he was a little excited, "Shen Jun is worthy of being a world-class director with world-class vision. ”
"Liu Xin!" Shen Zhenghui shouted, and Liu Xin walked out of the back room. "What's the matter?"
After staying in Japan for a long time, Liu Xin also contracted the habits of the Japanese, and when Shen Zhenghui and Miyamoto were talking, she and Tomoaki Aonuma stayed in the room.
"Director Miyamoto said Monty. Ohm is going to set up his own studio, and I think it's better to hang it under your company's name. Shen Zhenghui said.
A look of surprise flashed across Miyamoto's face.
"Yes." Liu Xin responded, "This young man is very good," she said, "in addition to being paranoid in subject matter, he is a good hand in technology." I would have liked him to be the action supervisor for several anime," she said, glancing at Miyamoto, "Mr. Miyamoto is more discerning." ”
Shen Zhenghui smiled and also looked at Miyamoto, "Specifically, you can let Monty talk to Liu Xin directly," he looked at Liu Xin again, "You discuss it with President Fukuda, Mr. Ohm is a very good talent, and we will try to treat it as preferably as possible." Shen Zhenghui said to Miyamoto again, "When the box office of "The King of Fighters" comes out, let's see the results and add bonuses, Monty's studio is naturally in charge of himself, Liu Xin will send someone here to help him manage personnel and finances, and the technical staff also asked him to propose a recruitment plan, of course, it is he who makes the final decision." Of course, try to persuade him to keep the people he has already used. ”
"That's not good," Liu Xin said on the side, "I've lent him more than thirty people here." ”
"You can continue to recruit people too!" Shen Zhenghui said.
"It's hard to recruit people right now." Liu Xin grunted.
Seeing that he had basically achieved his goal, Miyamoto immediately got up and said goodbye, Shen Zhenghui sent him to the door, and then said to him in a formal tone, "Mr. Miyamoto, don't forget "FateZero", your task is also very heavy, follow Cameron to release it, if the effect is not good, we will lose face in the world." ”
"Hey!" Miyamoto bowed vigorously like a Japanese and nodded, "I won't let you down!" His tone had a kind of resolute determination to cut his stomach if he failed.
Shen Zhenghui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "At the same time, you also have to consider the production plan of "FateStayNight", since the fragment of the memories of the appearance of Emiya Kiritsugu has been filmed, then I will not be the supervisor and producer of this one, and you need to produce it independently." I think Taiga Fujimura can be handed over to Michiko Yoshise to play the role, Taylor. Swift continues to play Saber, and you can continue to discuss the other characters with Mushroom and Takeuchi, I don't want this one to be any lower than FateZero in terms of quality. ”
Before the first part was released, the planning of the sequel had already begun, and it was completely left to Miyamoto himself, and Miyamoto felt that he was excited, "I won't let you down." He said.
……
"So you're talking about work." Liu Xin sat in his position and asked, and Tomoaki Aonuma also walked out of the room and was helping Liu Xin clean up the coffee table.
"Yes." Shen Zhenghui nodded, "Sometimes you have to sigh, the world is so wonderful. Shen Zhenghui rubbed his nose, "I can't imagine that Miyamoto would fight like this outside of his own job." ”
"I thought you'd just let him go to Mitsumi!" Liu Xin said, "You have been talking to him for so long, when did you become interested in business work?" ”
"I've always been involved in running a business." Shen Zhenghui responded, "Including this time I went to the United States to sign a contract with Colombia." "I thought he was here to inquire about the arrival of FateZero in the European and American markets, but who knew that he was mainly talking about cartoons." ”
"Director Miyamoto is working as hard as you do to participate in and learn how to run a business." Tomoaki Aonuma pointed out this, "Of course, I've heard that he doesn't feel like he's popular in Japan alone. ”
"yes, so I gave him a familiar subject matter, and by the way, I pushed him internationally." Shen Zhenghui knew what Qingnuma Tomoaki meant, but he didn't care, "I hope he has a breakthrough this time." ”
"So, obviously," Liu Xin said, "will your next energy be focused on the prequel to The Magic Apprentice?" She glanced at Tomoaki Aonuma and asked, "Is the role ready for Tomoaki?" ”
Aonuma Tomoaki glanced at Liu Xin with some panic, "Eh, me?" ”
"Actually, it's still early for the prequel to start!" Shen Zhenghui replied, "Their focus this year is "2012", and at the same time, Angela wants to restart the production of the second part of "The Green Hornet," he pursed his lips and said, "so even if the prequel to "Apprentice of Magic" is filmed, it will not be released until 2012." ”
"Huh? Does Colombia now only make one film a year? Liu Xin couldn't believe it.
"Why else do you think Sony bought it from us?" Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "Of course, there are some small films, and at the same time, the focus of Colombia is distribution, and our "FateZero" and "The King of Fighters" need to be distributed by Colombia, which is also the focus of their work. Shen Zhenghui said, "Angela hopes to distribute films from other independent production companies in recent years, and when the prequel to "Apprentice Magic" begins to be produced, it is the beginning of Colombia's preparation for revival. ”
"Oh," Liu Xin was a little frustrated, "so I'm happy in vain." ”
Tomoaki Aonuma's expression was faint.
"You can't say that," Shen Zhenghui responded, "at least your animated film can be easily distributed to the United States." ”
"I don't have a 3D team."
"It's too late to form now." Shen Zhenghui responded.
"Forget it, you've got Monty. Ohm. ”
"You have it," Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "How to play a role depends on your management level, in addition, you should also make use of the people on GONZO's side." ”
Liu Xin suddenly fell into thought, and then she reacted a little suddenly, "Why are we talking about work again?" ”
"How do I know?" Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand.
Liu Xin looked at him and gritted his teeth, "It's late at night, master rest early!" ”
