Chapter 57: Animation X Project (Part I)
In the home of a man named Sayu, the living room still functions as a meeting room today.
"That's the budget for a single episode of the anime many years ago, and it's pretty scary to look at, and that's what we're going to talk about."
2oo1 year - sister princess - 55o yuan
2oo2 years - Sharpshooter Girl / Lori Gunner - 13oo million yuan
2oo2 - Mobile Suit Gundam eddestiny - 2500,000 yuan
2oo2 - Ghost in the Shell - 3ooo million
2oo3 years - Kaleidoscope Star / Variety Star) - 18oo yuan
2oo3 years - new iron arm Astro Boy - 3ooo million yuan
The paper on the table is the above entry, and if you look at the single episode as 25 minutes, the 60-minute movie animation of "5 Centimeters Second" will cost at least 12 million yen, but it will actually be more expensive to make, which means that it is not enough to rely on Sayou alone to pay for it.
I didn't think of this aspect at all, although I calculated it before, but when I took a serious look, it was not enough to go up all my current savings.
There is no doubt that even if the project is approved by the animation company, the company will not invest in a project that is good but completely new.
For example, if a popular writer submits a general project and a rookie writer submits an excellent project, the company will definitely choose the former.
Popularity is the so-called priority, and Sayou does have a certain amount of popularity at the moment, and if you want to compare it with a really popular writer, you will insert a lot.
In addition, there is another possibility that if you take the project with the current situation of daylight, which is very popular, the rate of getting through will be much higher.
It's just that in that case, even if it gets investment, Haicheng can't get the position of supervision, at most it has a place in the original work.
However, Sayu's purpose is not to make Haicheng the mastermind of the original anime. It's about becoming an animation director.
There is a clear difference between the two, just like in the face of the anime "Desperate Teacher", many people will immediately think of the "original crusher" Shinbo Akiyuki, but they will not immediately think of the original Kumeda Yasuji-sensei.
Of course, the difference is in zài, and this kind of zài can be said to be somewhat obvious.
That's why everyone in the game club is gathered for this purpose.
"That is, the money is not enough, president, it seems that the only way to give up or please Sister Daylight."
"Don't call me sister, okay?"
At least it's a senior sister, otherwise it sounds quite awkward.
"But President, let's simplify the screen and let Hanae Sumida surf for about ten minutes save millions of yen? It's amazing. ”
"That's just death. Although making zuò movie animation and TV animation is a money-burning job,But the peripheral benefits generated are very good.,Of course,It seems pointless to say this now.,After all, I don't know if this project can be passed.,No.,Even if it's done.,What about the budget? Is it possible to get support from an animation company? ”
"Then let the cherry blossoms float for ten minutes, and that will save 5.5 million yen for an episode."
"It's only sixty minutes. Ten minutes of cherry blossom drifting and ten minutes of surfing, isn't that a third of it? The rest of the plot is not enough to come out.,Haicheng's brain has been caught by the door recently.,It's not right.。 It was caught at the beginning. ”
"Just kidding, President, I'm not that kind of stupid, there are many ways to save your budget, and the most common and not easy to see method is stop-motion dubbing. Freeze the picture somewhere in the school. And then the hero and heroine have a dialogue or something, isn't this storyboard technique generally used at the beginning? ”
It seems that this means can be had, that is, the way of guò scenes and dubbing to reduce the number of original words and work. For example, it's like the beginning of the first season in "Light Girl".
That is, when Yui Hirasawa was running in the school building with a guitar on his back, he was only given a shot of Yui Hirazawa's lower body at that time, and then he only needed to switch the scene a little, so it was probably that Kyoto Animation's budget was not enough at that time......
So, then, when Haruhi Suzumiya was animated, was it because of the lack of budget to keep playing the same episode in order to 'respect the infinite loop of the original work'?
Speaking of which, those few episodes are enough to save millions of yen in budget expenses, and KyoAni really hides it deeply.
Then again, if "5 Centimeters per Second" were to be done by KyoAni, I don't know what the effect would be.
The male protagonist of the Kyoto face and the female protagonist of the Kyoto face are estimated to make the overall style completely unbelievable.
Sayu believes that different animation companies must have their own animation styles, such as Toei Animation and Kyoto Animation.
If these two companies were to produce zuò, Sasuke didn't like the animation style of the former Toei Animation, even if it was Hayao Miyazaki, who had a famous Toei animation background.
By the way, the popular manga "Dragon Ball" anime has Toei zuò.
By the way, Sayu's more optimistic animation production companies include KyoAni, P.A. Orks, and Bonnes and Sun Sun.
Their famous animations are "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "The Girl with a Light Voice", "Ange1Beats!", "Canaan", "Symphonic Psalm Eureka", "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Lelouch the Rebellious", and "Gintama".
No matter what you say, no matter how you think about it, the problems that have not been solved are still not solved.
"President, wouldn't that be the case if the project was approved and the animation company invested in it?"
"For a newcomer like you, I can arrange a position for you to supervise at my expense, or it's not bad to supervise and assist, but if the money is from an animation company, don't you only have the opportunity to serve as a script and the original work?"
"That's not bad, president, this is an opportunity, and besides, I don't have any intention of being an overseer, it's not that I don't want to be, but it's hard to do. I've learned a lot online, and I'm familiar with the process of making an anime, but it's definitely quite cumbersome to actually operate, so it's nice to be a supervisor or a trainee supervisor, isn't it, president?
