227. The geniuses of this place
Looking at Jiang Yu's sworn appearance, Qianshi Chihiro also found that he was inexplicably relieved, nodded at the young man with a still immature face, and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Misaki Uii Kusa on the side excitedly shouted: "Ah~ It's really dazzling~ Inspiration is here, lalala~!" ”
Then he immediately turned around and ran away, accompanied by the sound of his feet stepping on the wooden floor, and disappeared in an instant.
However, only Jiang Yu was surprised by this. Everyone in Sakura Village seems to be surprised by this, and Shiina Mashiro is still the same appearance that everything does not linger in his heart and is not shocked.
Seeing Jiang Yu's appearance, the man with fluffy brown hair and a slender and tall figure who was standing next to the girl who jumped out just now smiled, helped his glasses, and said, "Please don't be surprised, Misaki is such a personality." ”
Kanda Sota nodded sympathetically, and muttered in a low voice, "After all, it's a cosmic person......
"Uh...... Is that so? Actually, I didn't mind much...... Scold...... Haha......" Jiang Yu scratched his head, responded with a few words with a subtle expression, and then laughed dryly twice, which can be regarded as the end of this ephemeral topic.
But for some reason, even if the third-grade senior named "Mitaka Ren" in front of him showed a polite appearance, Jiang Yu always felt that the other party seemed to be a very frivolous person in nature. Among this group of people with different personalities, they may be the ones who don't get along with them the most.
Mitaka didn't know how Jiang Yu guessed his nature in his heart at the moment, but even if he knew, it was estimated that he would be a smile, he never expected irrelevant others to be able to understand his complex thoughts. I saw him say gently: "Everyone has come from afar, please sit down first, and I will make tea." ”
Jiang Yu hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time patted the shoulder of the girl standing beside him, and motioned to the other party to thank him with his eyes. But I only got an inexplicable look from the girl.
……
After a while, Jiang Yu held the teacup, watched the tea stalk sink up and down in the boiling water, blew a few breaths, and carefully touched the surface of the tea with his lips. After repeating this behavior several times, he took a sip, then put down the teacup, looked at Kanda Kuta, who was sitting opposite him, who seemed a little reserved, smiled, and said, "I remember it...... Kanda-san, right? I'm only a sophomore in high school, so I don't have to be so restrained, right? Besides, isn't this your 'turf'? ”
In the end, Jiang Yu also made a little joke with his barren humor cells.
Although it wasn't funny, Kanda Sota relaxed a lot, his body that had been tense finally relaxed, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's my attitude that has a problem, Jiang Yu." ”
Jiang Yu nodded, then exchanged a few words of greeting with him, and asked some innocuous questions—although his social skills are not high, he also knows the taboo of making superficial words—and finally got to the point, pretending to ask casually: "Speaking of which, what kind of person is Ryunosuke Akasaka, who is said to have independently developed the intelligent AI 'Sister Shake-chan'?" Shiina, don't make a fuss......"
After stopping Shiina Mahaku from pulling the hem of his clothes, Jiang Yu stared at Kanda Kuta with burning eyes, and continued: "It's just the same age as us, but it's already so powerful, I always feel a little curious~"
Kanda Sota has let go of his inner vigilance against strangers with Jiang Yu's previous idle talk, and this is just some innocuous questions, put yourself in your shoes, if he comes to someone else's house and suddenly sees such a person, he will be a little curious in his heart, and it is inevitable.
Therefore, Kanda Sota pondered for a moment, organized the language, and then said loudly: "Instead of just talking about Akasaka, let's talk about the entire Sakura Village, before I came, this was simply a concentration camp for problem people!" Whether it's the cosmic person Misaki-senpai who is always arrogant, or the 'humanoid self-propelled cannon' and the 'central air conditioner' Ren senior, or the Chihiro teacher who has no sense of being a priest, and the programmer who squats at the super house......"
“…… All in all, after moving in, I deeply realized why people in the school are so taboo about this place, so they are afraid to avoid it. ”
"That...... As a word of caution, you live here now. ”
"Alas...... It was just a small accident. It was last summer, when I was living in a dormitory and living a normal life, but I suddenly picked up a cat......"
Then Balabala, the corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched slightly, forcing himself to listen to the other party's tirade mixed with all kinds of complaints and complaints, and summarized it a little in his heart, the story is probably - I picked up a cat last year, and faced with the requirements of throwing away the cat or moving out of the general dormitory, I chose the latter, so I came to Sakura Village. And the good news is that the number of cats has now reached 7, and the desire to leave Sakuraso seems to be far away.
"Ahh
Speaking of this, Kanda Sota's expression was a little strange, it seemed that the bitterness was mixed with a little unwillingness and a slightly complicated emotion, and after a pause, he continued: "Let's talk about Misaki Senpai first." Although she always looks like she is out of the box, not doing right, and doesn't listen to people talk well, but she's a super genius animator producer. Last summer, the 30-minute animation uploaded by the senior sister on the construction website was instantly well received, and the click rate exceeded one million, and companies in the industry immediately came to discuss commercialization. It was released on DVD in January this year and has sold more than 100,000 people. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yu's expression was a little subtle. Even if it's a DVD with only one volume, what is the concept of being able to sell 100,000? The so-called "IS", which is the wall of masterpieces, has only an average sales of about 34,000 volumes. And a name that still stands at the top of the island country's animation industry is EVA - its average volume sales are 200,000+. And the original first-mover sales were only 110,000+.
Of course, as a work with only one volume, it is inevitably a little difficult to convince the public when compared to TV anime with many volumes. But according to the vague definition of the industry, it is not wrong to attribute this kind of animation of tens of minutes in length to the TV animation shown every week, and it is no problem to attribute it to the animated movie.
It's like Makoto Shinkai in his previous life, "Your name." Like the previous works, although the length is not more than an hour, it is still in the animated movie. However, the general profit of that kind of work depends on the box office, and the subsequent BD sales are not so important, so few people count the relevant data.
All in all, Misaki Uii Kusa is a well-deserved genius girl, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a rising star in the animation industry now.
Jiang Yu caressed the center of his eyebrows with the fingers of his left hand, and tapped lightly on the table with his right hand, and a vague thought rose in his heart. Then he nodded at Kanda and motioned for the other party to continue.
Kanda Sota has nothing to do: "The script is the responsibility of another third-grade senior just now, and it is also the childhood sweetheart of Misaki Senpai, Mitaka Ren, and the content of the script is roughly ......"
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows halfway through hearing this, and whispered in surprise: "The Truman Sho (Truman's World)?" ”
Kanda Kuta, who was interrupted by the other party's sudden exclamation, was not angry, but patted his head and suddenly said, "That's right! It's better to compare the oral narrative and look at the finished product, right? I remember that BD was placed right here......"
After finishing speaking, before Jiang Yu could respond, Kanda Sota went straight to find the DVD sent by the other company after it was commercialized at that time, and played it on the TV in the living room.
Seeing that the other party had already done it, Jiang Yu naturally couldn't refuse. Besides, he actually didn't have a lot of thought about this story that sounded quite interesting.
Only after really seeing the finished product can he be sure whether the vague idea in his heart can be put into reality.
With the personal LOGO of Misaki Uei Kusa and the LOGO of the seller, the story officially began. Set on an artificial island on the earth in the distant future, it tells the story of a teenager who has lived on the island since he was a child and has a quiet personality, and meets a young girl from outside the island.
At the beginning, the relationship between the two developed more smoothly than imagined, and the teenager didn't have to worry about his emotions at all, and the girl took the initiative to confess and started dating, and the first kiss was also dominated by the girl. The boy was in no pain and was not harmed. But there is another mystery in it, and there is a big reversal halfway.
One day, like the protagonist in "Truman's World", the boy discovers that all around him are "lies" - the place where he is located is not an artificial island on the earth, but a large cosmic colony floating in the universe. The earth has become an uninhabitable place because of the terrible war waged by mankind, and this is the fact that he is facing.
The boy did not know it for sixteen years, and he always thought that he was on earth. It's all a lie, and it's not the only lie. The boy's parents were not his real parents; The classmate knew the truth but continued to deceive him. Of course, the same is true for the existence of young girls. Everything has been designed, and the boy's life for the past 16 years has been according to the script.
The script allows him to have friends, the script allows him to live peacefully, the script allows him to meet young girls, and similarly, the script allows him to experience love.
The Ark Project, a human innovation discovered by the World Government in order to eliminate the constant wars, raised children who did not know pain, sorrow, hatred, and anger, with the aim of getting rid of the human instinct to struggle.
The artificial island is the Babylonian Courtyard of the Sky, and the boy himself is the guinea pig of the plan.
In a sense, the plan was successful, and the boy who learned the truth of the matter didn't know how to react at all, just trembling like chaff, but he didn't even touch the words that expressed his inner feelings at this moment.
So reason evaporated, and with the entire courtyard of the island as a medium, the boy summoned the legendary queen of Assyria who built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and wreaked havoc on the island, and since then, the Holy Grail War has ...... Ahem, of course, that's.
The real script is that the boy pilots a human fighting weapon, a product similar to Gundam, that turns an artificial island into a sea of fire.
Faced with such an out-of-control situation, the World Government decided to destroy the test subject after urgent deliberation. And at this time, only the girl chose to return to the boy's side and stepped forward to try to protect the boy who was already surrounded by the army.
However, the ending was that the chest was mercilessly pierced by a bullet and died peacefully in the arms of the young man.
After losing the girl, the boy finally discovers that there is something real in the world that he thought was all lies. The feelings of a teenager for a girl, and the tenderness of a girl for a teenager are all true.
In the final scene, a young man who does not know pain, sadness, hatred and anger is holding the girl's body that is gradually losing its temperature, and tears are shed for the first time.
The story ends abruptly, but it is not obtrusive at all. The end of the boyhood, the continuation of humanity, or maybe another plan...... Everything seems to have lost its value under this scene.
Jiang Yu looked at the pitch-black screen in a daze, and an indescribable sadness and warmth surged in his heart. Perhaps it is a common problem as a creator, he is easy to substitute into the plot of the story, and of course, it is easy to get out. This is especially true when you have that computer in your head.
After this complicated thought, Jiang Yu silently took the remote control and started playing it from the beginning. Storyboarding, Composition, Animation, Backgrounds, Post......
Although he doesn't know much about this profession, he has never eaten pork, so hasn't he seen a pig run? In the big circle of game production, he has more or less heard and learned something.
Therefore, he has to admit that this is indeed a pretty good work. The sales volume of 100,000 may be due to the gradual decline of the industry, but if it does not have its own outstanding quality, it will definitely not reach this height.
And this script is also quite good. Although there is a sense of reference, it has some of its own things. Compared to the well-known film, this anime is much less critical, and the final narrative focuses on the eternal topic of "real and unreal".
Maybe you can really entrust the other team's work?
Jiang Yu rubbed his chin with the index finger of his right hand, thoughtfully.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an emotional voice say: "Hey, hey-the two juniors are actually secretly watching my animation~~ It's so exciting!" ”
Jiang Yu and Kanda Sota were both startled, turned around, and then found Misaki Uii, who came behind them at some point, Kanda Sota added in a low voice: "By the way, except for the music and script parts of this animation, all the work was done by Misaki alone." ”
Jiang Yu's eyes widened instantly, looking at the lively girl in front of him in disbelief, and a sense of absurdity couldn't help but rise in his heart.
Such a high-quality animation,It's actually done by the other party alone? Finished storyboarding, concept painting, coloring, compositing, editing, recording, dubbing, etc.?
