Chapter 158. "Midnight Bell" production team (4000 words)
"If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me and Toda, it's not that the two of us are the big ones, it's just that we are still more experienced than you, Brother Higashino."
Honhashi said to Tsukasa Higashino with a smile.
The other party's storyboard picture book is really good, but it is still a little rigid in composition, and it can be seen that the other party should have learned the same from the textbooks of those storyboard picture books.
But this inevitably brings a bit of the rigidity of textbooks, and experienced animation scripters will be more natural.
Toda Shimitsu, who was next to him, listened to what Honbashi Daohiro said and nodded approvingly: "Some problems that can't be solved can come and ask us." ”
Now that the overall outline of the animation script is in place, the next step is to polish the script.
After all, all the preliminary work has to be done around the finished product of the animation script, Tsukasa Higashino, and of course they hope that the final product of the script will be better.
And for their statement, Higashino Division did not refuse - the other party did not interfere in his script creation, but just said to help, which can already be said to have given enough face at this point.
Tsukasa Higashino naturally agreed.
He discussed the script of "Midnight Bell" with Toda Shimitsu and Tobashi for a while.
I have to say that Toda Shimitsu and Tobashi Daohiro are indeed some real talents, they pointed out several problems in Higashino's script, and also focused on Higashino's analysis of how to solve these problems.
For example, there were some places where the connection was stiff, so they suggested that Tsukasa Higashino go to see some well-made animated films to see how the famous supervisors moved the camera.
The discussion lasted for an hour, and Higashino thanked him and left Tokyo Animation with Hosokawa Koharu.
As for Toda Shimitsu and Hotohashi Tohiro...?
After that, Honhashi Daohiro has to pull up the production team of "Midnight Bell" and make a list, while Toda Shimitsu has to confirm the candidates and financial problems listed on the Honhashi Guidehiro form, and it is really easier for Higashino to modify the script for the time being.
"The people of Higashino are not bad." Honhashi Daohiro remembered Tsukasa Higashino just now, and said with a smile to Toda Shimitsu beside him.
"Hmm... It's a pretty good young man. Toda nodded.
The other party's attitude is very good, and he doesn't talk and act at all without the impetuousness of young people.
The two of them are mixed in the industry, but they actually know a lot of young people with an impetuous mentality, and those people are eager to make an animated film out in two or three months and create a so-called 'industry miracle'.
I don't know how many times Isahiro and Toda have scolded this young man who feels that he is the 'light of the industry'.
But Tsukasa Higashino is different, although the other party is a well-known manga author and Kumamon designer, but he doesn't feel the slightest sense of impetuousness from him, and he is very down-to-earth.
"Let's see how far Higashino can modify the animation script."
Honbashi estimated that Higashino would probably have to go back to work two or three more times before the animation script was finalized.
After all, looking at the past now, many shortcomings are quite conspicuous.
Of course, there are also advantages, that is, Tsukasa Higashino's storyboard is very crisp and crisp, and the page is turned without pause, which makes people feel very comfortable to watch.
Honhashi thought to himself that if he was trained, he might be able to become a particularly famous animation scripter.
Of course, that's just a matter of thinking.
"That's too far." Hotohashi shook his head with a smile.
yes, it's too far.
Tsukasa Higashino is just starting out on the road of animation feet, and it will take time to precipitate.
And then...
Two days later, Tsukasa Higashino came to the door with a revised animation script.
"So fast?" Hotohashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu had just finished a meeting with the found production team and were about to go to have a meal after work, but they were approached by Tsukasa Higashino.
When they heard Higashino Tsukasa come over to report the progress, both of them couldn't help but lose their voices, this is too fast, right?
The middle-aged man's chubby face showed a smile, and said politely: "Brother Higashino, you're really fast... Changing the animation script so quickly, neither Toda nor I expected it. ”
It's very fast, I just praised you for not being impetuous, and today you slapped me in the face... This slap in the face is too fast.
You know, it's only been two days, and Tsukasa Higashino has revised the animation script? That's too fast.
But it's useless to just think about these things in your heart.
Honbashi and Toda decided to take a look at the modified finished product.
After all, my colleagues have brought things over, and it's not good not to look at them...
The two of them flipped through it casually, and they turned to the part where the male protagonist Ryuji Takayama and the female protagonist Reiko Asakawa had a conversation.
"Because I'm a freak?" Ryuji Takayama lowered his head and held his meal, his voice calm.
Reiko Asakawa was half-sitting on the ground, her face full of grief - she only had two days to live, and if she couldn't ask Sadako about it from Heihachiro Ikuma's mouth, both she and her son would be killed by Sadako's curse.
She knew that there might be no way to live, so she entrusted her son to Ryuji Takayama, hoping that he could find the truth and save him.
However, Takayama Ryuji was very disgusted with her shirking her responsibilities and giving up hope, so this conversation arose.
"Maybe we shouldn't have given birth to Koichi at the time..."
"The three of us will die together."
Then came the next few storyboards, the lights fell depressingly, the outside was silent, and the dark night made people uncomfortable...
"This...?"
Honhashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu's eyes widened, and they looked so surprised that they couldn't add anything.
It's not that this modified script is bad... It's that the quality is so good that they both didn't expect it for a moment, so they fell into the plot.
"What's wrong? Overseer of the Bridge? Deputy Superintendent Toda? Higashino Tsukasa was still waiting next to him, and when he saw the two of them making sounds, he asked politely: "Do you think there are still shortcomings?" This is also of course, after all, it has only been revised for two days, and if there is anything inappropriate, please correct. ”
"Ahh This..."
Correction?
What else is there to correct this?
At least Tobashi and Toda couldn't find anything to correct, so it was no problem to use this as a script to make it.
Honbashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu glanced at each other, and just wanted to tell Tsukasa Higashino that the animation script was qualified this time, and they could directly use it to adapt the script, but in the next second, Tsukasa Higashino's words made them swallow the words back into their stomachs.
"Speaking of which, there are some things I actually want to revise, can you please listen to my thoughts? By the way, can you help me refer to it? ”
"Do you want to change it...?" Honbashi opened his mouth and closed it in the middle of his words.
He looked at the animation script on the table again, and muttered - it didn't feel like there was anything to change.
That's enough.
The appearance of the two of them made the Higashino Division next to him a little strange, and he repeatedly looked at the expressions of Motohashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu: "Do you think this is enough?" ”
"Ahem..."
Tobashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu were also single, and nodded very honestly: "Toda and I think this is enough, and if it doesn't make sense, I want the author of the adaptation script to come and take it and adapt it directly." ”
They do think that's fine.
But in this regard, Higashino Tsukasa shook his head and said very kindly: "After I was instructed by Motohashi-san and Toda-san before, I feel that I have gained a lot of experience... This script can still be changed, so leave it to me to change it. ”
His tone was polite and his attitude was sincere, so that the Honhashi Daohiro on the side couldn't help but scratch his hair.
Many scripters have finally changed their scripts, and basically they don't take the initiative anymore, unless he and Toda ask each other to do so, and the other party will not move.
And it moves very slowly, and sometimes Hiroshi Motohashi wants to whip the butts of these people in charge of scripting.
But like Tsukasa Higashino... The author who so actively begged to work... It's the first time they've seen each other.
"If Brother Higashino had this idea, Toda and I would still not object."
Motohashi said with a smile.
That's a good thing, regardless of whether Higashino Tsukasa will change this script in the end, at least his work spirit is here.
But just in case, he still called a female clerk in charge of printing to reprint the script of Tsukasa Higashino, leaving a backup.
Higashino didn't care, he just asked a few more questions to the two of them before leaving, and then left satisfied.
Looking at his departing back, Motohashi Daohiro couldn't help but speak: "I was still ridiculing before... Now I really think that Brother Higashino may really become a famous animation scripter. ”
Toda Shimitsu was originally a taciturn person, but after hearing his words, he also nodded with a rare expression of approval.
is so busy, busy with the past, the production team of the animated film "Midnight Bell" finally let Motohashi Daohiro pull up.
Color direction, special effects, painting supervision...
These people are all acquaintances of Benqiao Daohong, and they have the intention of deliberately promoting them, but the main reason is that acquaintances are easy to use, unlike the grass platform team outside, which is very difficult to command.
The preparations on their side are almost done, it's time to call Tsukasa Higashino, ask him about the animation script over there, and ask Tsukasa Higashino to come over by the way, and make a familiar face - if the production team doesn't even know who their main script is, then don't you just mess up?
It's just that as soon as Benqiao Daohiro's mobile phone was handed to him, before he could speak, he was stopped by a familiar voice behind him.
"Motohashi-san, the animation script has been changed, and it just so happens that you are also in the main building... Let's take a look first. ”
The person who walked in from the outside happened to be Tsukasa Higashino.
"Ahh Brother Higashino, don't talk about this for the time being, I was just about to call you. ”
Honbashi Daohiro showed a warm smile, and just wanted to talk about his own main script, Higashino Tsukasa came to the door, isn't it just right?
He quickly greeted him and explained his current situation to Tsukasa Higashino.
"Show your face?" Higashino was interested when he heard this, and he was still very curious about the main creative team that was going to be pulled up next.
So he immediately took the lead and agreed: "Then trouble Motohashi-san to take me over." ”
The two talked while walking, mainly talking about some things about the production team of "Midnight Bell".
Higashino quickly followed Hashimoto into the annex building and walked through a noisy corridor.
On the side of the hallway, Higashino even saw a few animation supervisors pointing at the heads of some of the painters, and some of them even went so far as to hit them on the head with their drafts.
Maybe these artists are newcomers who have just joined the Tokyo animation production company, so it's normal to be scolded by their seniors like this, after all, Japan has always been such a society, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is very clear.
When the supervisor of a few small productions saw Honbashi Daohiro coming over, they came over to say hello with a smile on their faces, and even the 'unidentified' Tsukasa Higashino next to him enjoyed this treatment, and many staff members came over, very enthusiastic, bowing and greeting, and calling one teacher after another.
In his previous life, as a member of the Celestial Empire, Higashino Tsukasa naturally had never seen the status quo of the Japanese workplace, but the other party only smiled at each other.
"Brother Higashino doesn't seem to be suitable for this kind of occasion?" Honhashi took Higashino Tsukasa around the corner.
"It's not very comfortable, and it's the first time I've seen you." Tsukasa Higashino admitted with a smile that the pressure of the workplace environment in Japan was felt just by looking at him, and if he worked in it, he was afraid that it would not be true that his blood pressure would be full.
"Hehe, there will be many opportunities to see you when you work in the future..."Motohashi Daohiro nodded, pressed the elevator, and took Higashino Tsukasa to the upper floor.
This level is quieter, and unlike the quarterly animation production below, which is a weekly animation, this floor is where the long-term production team stays.
Honbashi took Tsukasa Higashino and walked a long distance inside, and only then did he arrive at a room with a whiteboard sign hanging on it, which read, "The production team of "Midnight Bell". 'A string of words.
Honbashi Daohiro led Tsukasa Higashino into it, and before Tsukasa Higashino could look around, a circle of people sitting inside suddenly stood up-
"You've done a great job!"
The sound of this brush brushing like a rehearsal made Tsukasa Higashino stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that these animation producers were greeting Honhashi Daohiro.
"This is Mr. Tsukasa Higashino, the main writer in charge of the script production of "Midnight Bell".
Honbashi Daohiro was obviously very accustomed to this situation, and nodded before he introduced.
Qi Shu's voice sounded again, but the content changed suddenly: "You have worked hard, Mr. Higashino!" ”
As a member of the main creative team, Higashino Tsukasa is theoretically second only to the superintendent of Motohashi Daohiro, so of course they have to be courteous.
But Higashino Division is still a standard Chinese thought, in the past, in China, even if the big leaders came to check the class, it would not be like the Japanese side, suddenly stood up in a row, and said, 'You have worked hard', and then you have to bow deeply?
Isn't that a fuss?
But forget it, Higashino Tsukasa also experienced the feeling of being a master, so he smiled at them and nodded.
Anyway, I'm just here to get a familiar face.,How to operate after that is the business of Benqiao Daohong.。
