Chapter 170: Lori's Knowability and Agnosticism

As an "original" animation, despite the promotion of radio dramas and even radio programs, even with the appearance of well-known voice actors, it is actually difficult to say how rich the early popularity accumulation is.

In addition, Mad Poihat is not the kind of well-known animation company that will cause a large-scale response when making an original film, and it is clear that there is no "brand effect" and no popularity in them.

Multi-party collaborations and multimedia collaborations do work greatly, especially when it comes to original animation, but Mad Poihat can't have that kind of power and appeal right now, and they can't have the kind of audience expectations that existed before "Sin Crown" or "Iron City" went across.

Strawberry marshmallow is also not the kind of subject that has a premonition of fire before the broadcast.

But after putting aside the disadvantages other than various abilities, this animation, which is a small theme, general investment, and normal production level, is still "soaring" with the loud slogan of "cuteness is justice".

And even if strawberry marshmallow is a normal or average level painting for the general production process, for Mad Poihat's newly established production team 3, it is already desperate to be able to get such a normal work.

Naoko Sugida, a newcomer who oversees it, has reached the point of playing 24 hours a day in order to avoid the "evil consequences" of the collapse of painting...... How well a superintendent's first work is performed has a crucial impact on his future, and she doesn't want to be labeled as incompetent just after she starts to work as a superintendent.

Now that I think about it, although the work and production process she was responsible for when she was the supervisor were in line with the instructions and promises made by Miyadai, they were only in line with each other, and there was no surplus at all...... In reality, it's a bit of a "mess" with insufficient conditions.

Fortunately, in the end, she still "turned the tide"...... For the sake of this work, and for herself.

A huge promotional poster for "Strawberry Marshmallows" with the words "Cuteness is Justice" still hangs somewhere in Akihabara, and it finally started broadcasting in the last week of June.

Although "Strawberry" as a whole adopts the kind of scary cute painting style with large eye proportions...... It seems that works of this kind of theme can only be painted like this, but its characters still have a considerable degree of "characteristics", that is, Lori adopts the painting method of drooping the corners of the eyes, and all the main characters are wearing a pair of "eight-character eyes".

It's not just for the sake of "cute".,It's even a bit contrary to the pursuit of a little more cute.,But this is the "feature" of the work.,It's an important sign to distinguish it from other similar works.,At a glance, you can know who this setting belongs to--if you want to say it.,The situation is a bit similar to the "little round face" that turns a lot of people away.。

This kind of discord at first glance is a bit out of place, and it's an important sign to judge whether an animation is from a commercial assembly line.

The next work to use this kind of "eye-dropping" setting on a large scale on the main characters will have to wait until the girls who drive all kinds of old World War II tanks/infantry tanks/armored vehicles/destroyers on the aircraft carrier campus, with engine oil on their faces, wrenches in their hands, shells in both arms, and are accustomed to solving problems with the caliber of the breech, and bombard it without saying a word, and can run out of sports cars in the roar of diesel engines.

"Strawberry Marshmallow" is still being broadcast late at night, and this time, Miyashiro has regained some of the feeling of waiting for the "Black Rock Shooter" to broadcast for the first time.

There's no other reason.,The main thing is that the three groups are mainly newcomers.,This is also their first animation.。 So, while waiting for the broadcast to start, they were a little lively and excited, and there was a little bit of nervousness and anticipation in addition to the excitement - both from the supervised to the next.

It's already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Mad Poihat still has a lot of people staying here.

The previous "equity crisis" in management...... If that is such a serious problem, and employees don't know it, the result of the dualistic top-level management structure is that the message is quite closed, and the degree is probably second only to the personal dictatorship. But it's best if everyone can focus on their work.

After finishing the conversation with some of his compatriots in China, Miyadai sat back down next to the overseer. At this time, everyone is gathered here, but it's not working time, and everyone is just waiting for the first anime they made to play, so the atmosphere here is very relaxed overall. It's basically a situation of "who you want to talk to", "who you want to say", and although the identity of the palace is a little special, it can definitely communicate with everyone without barriers.

"Finished talking to your Chinese friends?" Sugita Naoko asked first, there is a very special situation in the production team that there are a group of friends from the other side of the East China Sea, and what is even more special is that the boss in front of him is quite concerned about his compatriots, so when managing this production team, it is necessary to maintain an objective attitude.

"Well, after talking, how are they doing?" Miyadai asked casually.

"Quite a bit of hard work, although there were some obstacles and discomforts at the beginning, but now it has settled down." Sugita said that there were a lot of problems at first, at least because of the language barrier, but after a while, they were corrected.

As for the technical adaptation and progress, it is even more obvious that painting is not a simple job, but the people who come here are selected, not only are they not inexperienced, but on the contrary, the part that should be technically outstanding, all that needs to be done is continuous effort and adaptation.

And when it comes to hard work, no matter what the environment, this is a quality that can be embodied in the Oriental...... Among the Orientals here, there are island people, but also Chinese.

"The company is on the rise, and they're just getting used to a new environment...... Everything is new and the conditions are favorable, and I just hope that everyone will be able to maintain their current creative enthusiasm in the future. "Animation is quite an industry that consumes enthusiasm.,But Gong Daisong didn't say too much about domestic friends.,After skipping those,He talked about things that should be explained by the superintendent,"The picture quality of the first few words of strawberry,I'm personally very satisfied.,It's the result of everyone's joint efforts.,How about it.,Can you keep it next?" ”

"To be honest, this is my first time as a supervisor, and the quality of the picture is already the limit of what I can do, and considering the issues surrounding the production, we may be a little more proficient in the future, but it's hard to do it better than we are now...... At least on the strawberry marshmallows, but after removing the two words, I think the quality can be maintained. Sugida replied.

There are two words behind "Strawberry" that have been outsourced, and she didn't think it was so necessary at the time, but now that she looks at it, it's a life-saving measure.

Although her assurances are quite strong, in fact, after the start of the broadcast, the production after that must be more rushed and anxious, and maintaining the quality is actually not a simple matter.

Just as she was about to say something, the last commercial passed, and their new animation finally began to air.
