Chapter 175: Stage Description
In the "stage setting" of "Strawberry Marshmallow", most of its regional and urban architectural designs are modeled after Kyoto due to the principles of proximity and convenience.
Of course, there is a considerable degree of utopian and secondary creation and processing, but the basic structure is still based on a certain part of the city...... In this way, while maintaining a sense of closeness and life, the cost of fine arts, especially art design, can be reduced to a certain extent.
There is a natural difference between the city that human beings actually built and existed and the stage that is completely imaginary.
This is a very common practice, and many comic creators like or are accustomed to overlapping the stage blueprint of the story with the city they are familiar with or are living in, which should be a kind of cultural psychology.
Of course, for various reasons, a lot of the content that can be seen in text will be more blurred when it is expressed in the form of animation...... The same is true in "Strawberry", where some of the stage settings are bound to be like this, but on the contrary, there are places where the expression is particularly clear.
For example, on the exterior stage, which doesn't appear too much in the story, "Strawberry" moved the entire neighborhood where Mad Poihat is located during the production process...... The animation company itself appears in the animation produced by itself, and I have to say that this is not only a small anecdote, but also a kind of "soft advertising".
Especially in works such as strawberry marshmallows, this is a soft advertisement that can undoubtedly impose the company's image on the audience...... After all, this is the kind of animation that can increase local tourists and promote the development of local tourism.
However, out of respect for the work itself, this kind of "advertising placement" is naturally unlikely to interfere with the normal rhythm of the story, and the occasional appearance, some people may notice and more people may need to be reminded to notice, this kind of processing can be regarded as a small fun...... In fact, Mad Poihat can only be seen flashing through the street when the "sister" rides a motorcycle at a speed that is neither fast nor slow.
Its occurrence units and duration can only be calculated in "frames".
In fact, this kind of behavior of advertising oneself is not uncommon, but most of the things that appear in the work can only be the real copyright owner, for example, in the JUMP series of manga animation, you can often see the editorial office building, and later Fang Wenshe light change the animation of the modern background, you can also often see some places will be pasted with its company nameplate...... And the animation company stuffed itself into the picture, obviously not among them.
The reason is simple, most of the time animation companies don't have much to do with words like "copyright" or even "partial copyright". And if you talk about the independent projects and original works of animation companies, to be honest, there are very few light everyday works with modern backgrounds, and original animations are either fantasy and magic, or SF series, and there are very few other genres.
And for those original stories, even if it is a modern stage, in a city that may explode at any time, there is not even a slag left, and an animation company is stuffed in the background building, there will definitely be a sense of disobedience, and now this kind of interesting pursuit cannot interfere with the audience's perception to the extent that it is right...... So Mad Poihat's behavior is quite exceptional, or the small animation company itself is quite "exceptional".
In addition, there are only industry-related animations such as "White Box" and "This is the voice actor" that can appear in the picture of various animation company architectural prototypes...... Of course, when some people really can't keep up with the production schedule, they take a few photos of the production interior scene and openly take them to the TV station to show the uncontrolled operation products without counting.
Because of the peculiarity of its own situation, on the premise of keeping it interesting and not boring the audience, it is foreseeable that strawberry marshmallow is just the beginning, and as long as conditions permit, I believe that Mad Poihat will appear in more pictures of different works in the future.
While Gong Daiju was thinking about how to sell the film through more channels and in a more independent way, Strawberry Marshmallow began to continue to exert influence with the continuous broadcast, and attracted a group of loyal audiences, Luo ...... No, it should be said that the title of healing animation is well deserved, and this is the so-called "heartwarming" work in the mouth of Miyayo So.
It fully argues dialectically what a cure is, why it is cured, and how it is cured.
It has to be said that animation is a form of image that is particularly suitable for expressing goodwill, kindness, warmth and other beautiful attributes, and it is more suitable for the former than the subject of "black and deep cripple", which is not an assertive negation of the subject matter and theme, but a perceptual statement derived from the analogy of strength, thickness and different forms of artistic expression.
At this point in development, animation can't be generalized, but animation naturally has a kind of original attribute of "to be shown to children", and what is shown to children should naturally be more beautiful.
When it comes to expressing a wide range of themes or characters represented by the word "healing", animation is the best way to dispel the sense of dissonance in reality...... In reality, there can be no "Akari Kawamoto", there can be no "Onodera Misaki", there can be no "Machida Ichi", and even "Tsuyoda Takeo" cannot exist, but this does not prevent their personalities from being expressed in the anime...... In an extreme, simple and popular way, animation is in a sense a form of picture that can make the "Madonna" appear not a "".
This has nothing to do with whether the person who made the animation is Lolicon or not......
Probably not.
More than halfway through the release of "Strawberry", judging from the sales feedback received from various aspects, it was expected that the sales of the first volume would easily break through the best-selling line...... Although everything is subject to the actual purchase, this feedback is undoubtedly a very positive sign.
Although the sample is "insufficient" and the conclusions reached are "not substantiated", this sales expectation does in a sense prove that the audience's animation disc buying behavior is shifting towards certain themes, fields, and painting styles.
"Strawberry" is only halfway through the broadcast, and the actual start of disc sales will not be until October and November, and the pressure on production is still very high, but in this period, Mad Poihat still has to do some other big moves.
Important things have to be squeezed and squeezed three times in a period of time to reflect its importance.
After the summer, before the release of "Strawberry" is completed and Mad Poihat's funds are returned, the first episode of the theatrical version of the empty realm will be broadcast as scheduled.
