Chapter X: Interim Supervision (II)

"I've been working on the storyboard of the anime 'Izumo Senki', which will be broadcast in April, but so far it's all been handed over, so if the work is right, I can take over right away, but ......"

Kishi Seiji is indeed the kind of animation supervisor who can be "on duty" at any time, but the problem is whether he is willing to accept the commission of Miyadai.

Or maybe he was waiting for a more specific explanation from Gong Daisan before he would decide whether he would accept the supervision.

For the name of Kishi Chengji,It's impossible for Gong Daisong not to have any impression at all.,The superintendent is still in that kind of state of favoring "obscurity",According to the original trajectory,He won't be an instant hit until 07 years after supervising the manga animation "Seto's flower marriage",And then his resume is clearer.,Successively directed several popular works like "Angel Beats", "Danganronpa", "Assassination Classroom", "Moonlight is Beautiful" and so on.

On the whole, although the performance of works on different themes is very ups and downs, and even has a title similar to the "original crusher", but the judgment of his next "supervision with supervision ability" is at least much stronger than the kind of Kuan who can't be supported no matter how many times.

Of course, it would be an exaggeration to give him a title like a "ghost talent" director, and a person like Satoshi Kon's director should be called that.

In a word, in terms of ability, the current Kishi Seiji is the kind of person who meets the requirements of the palace performance.

"Kanakun......" Kayuko Suzuki whispered a reminder in Miyadai's ear, and he realized that he was a little distracted.

"Oh? I'm sorry, Mr. Kishisei, but I was distracted by a little bit of a thought...... You don't have to worry about the animation project, it's something that has already been decided, and not only that, but the funding is also ready, and it's basically a season's original animation that tells the story of a girl. Gong Daiju was able to read and understand the other party's concerns, so he naturally explained accordingly.

"Original Animation...... In other words, independently curated works? The production committee is ready? Kishi asked rhetorically, because he didn't think that an unknown small company like the Black Cat Society had the ability to produce this kind of work.

The birth process of most animations is like this: when a group of investment tycoons who are idle and have nothing to do and money in their pockets are rubbing cards together, one of them suddenly says, do you know such and such a work? I think it's very interesting, are you interested in making it into an animation and then selling the disc to make money?

As soon as everyone heard it, they all learned about this work.,Do you want to change the light novel to the animation.、Comic animation or game to animation.,After making an evaluation, I found that this is really funny...... So they paid one after another, you pay five cents, I pay five cents, and soon enough money was scraped together for the production of a season of animation, so these people formed a production committee for this animation.

This group of people will contact the original copyright, TV station, broadcast time, production and sales, demarcate revenue sharing according to the investment, and even determine the voice actor lineup of the main characters, and then at this time they found a problem, in order to broadcast this animation, they actually need an animation company that can turn the work into a moving picture......

So they started to choose an animation company, and then made a final decision - this is also a period of frequent activity for producers from various animation companies, and it is natural that well-connected producers will be more likely to get the job.

Typical representatives of such works, such as "My Sister", the producer of "My Sister", "How can my sister have such a cute plan".

For animation companies, this type of production is called workhorse, and because of the production cycle, if the company feels that they can't do the work on their own during the broadcast period, they will choose to outsource some of the work again, and there is also the practice of packaging one or two episodes out, which is the stage that Mad Poihat of Miyayo is currently in.

As for the other way of production, it is up to the animation company itself to propose the plan, contact the copyright, attract investment, etc., and there are only a handful of animation companies that can do this, and the representative project is similar to the production committee of the "middle two disease".

Therefore, it is normal for Mad Poihat to have no way to plan independently, and it is a small company with neither qualifications, nor connections, nor capital.

"We don't actually have a production committee, or rather we have a one-man production committee, and you've heard of an entertainment company called ListenNepster, which is our funder."

The practice of independent funding is quite retro, but Kishi Chengji also understands that the young man in front of him has been caught.

"Propaganda animation?" And he reacted very quickly, and soon understood that only this kind of work could make a company that has nothing to do with animation and does not make such investments so happily.

"Not exactly, but it's a propaganda work." Miyadai said that there was nothing to hide at all.

"And what about the playtime? Is there a specific type of animation? ”

"It's not convenient to disclose information about the animation for the time being, but what we want to do is definitely a high-quality work, and Mr. Kishinari has no doubt about this, because we have sufficient production funds; As for the broadcast time of the anime, it should be after April next year, right? ”

Gong Daisheng didn't say anything about these two issues.,First of all,It's not that it's inconvenient to disclose the relevant information of the animation.,It's that there's no way to disclose it at all.,Because they don't have a script at all.,Some of them are just a few character designs.。

Secondly, the animation will not be broadcast next year at all, but at the end of this year, so the production cycle of this work will be very tight, and the director of this kind of animation will definitely be quite stressed, because many people will keep urging you to speed up the progress, and at the same time, they will keep emphasizing to you that you must ensure quality.

So Miyadai is in urgent need of an animation supervisor who can be put into work immediately, since Kishishi is a suitable person, then if you can take him away, you will naturally have to take him away, as for the little bit of information that Miyadai Sonata is hiding...... It's just to save everyone's time.

"I already have a general understanding of the situation...... "Kishi Seiji said, in fact, he has understood everything he can know, and some of the things he doesn't know don't know at all, so it's impossible to give an answer, "If I can, I hope I can go to your company to see the situation with my own eyes, and then make a final decision." ”

Being able to say such things shows that his mentality is biased towards accepting the job.

"Of course, this is as it should be, and we are waiting for Your Excellency in Kyoto." Miyadai said.

"By the way, there's one last question to ask," I don't know why, after the conversation came here, Kishi Seiji wanted to blurt out this question, "In the animation industry where harems and meat sales are all the rage, what should be the most correct thing for an animation company to do?" ”

This question does not match the preface, but this abruptness will not interfere with the train of thought of the palace generation, he can blurt out the answer, "Do you still need to ask this, of course it is the best harem fan." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This is really a good answer, you ......" Kishi Chengji is also convinced, this should not be the answer that young people should give, but the answer of old fritters who have been immersed in the industry for many years.

Miyadai smacked his head, and only then did he notice that he seemed to have forgotten to introduce himself, "I'm sorry, my name is Miyadai, and I'm the head of the animation company Mad Poihat." ”
