Chapter Forty-Eight: Correcting the Pit

How many film investors are willing to invest in the name of the film director, and there are many more investors who are indifferent because they have never heard of a certain director.

This statement can also be applied to the situation faced by Miyadai at this time.

In short, his dilemma is not being able to gain the trust of the other party...... There is no problem with Kyoichiro Natsume's judgment, animation supervision is not something you want to do and can do if you want to.

Although many times an animation supervisor seems to have nothing to do other than draw a name, the essence is that every aspect of animation production is closely related to him.

The control of animation directors and other film and television directors over their works is reflected in different aspects, after all, animation should be regarded as a relatively special form of picture expression...... All the camera positions are virtual, and the "shooting" part is more concentrated in the hands of the original artist.

This peculiarity determines that a supervisor may or may not be so important for an animation, but it is because of this "dispensable" that it can truly reflect the level of a certain supervisor...... Regardless of anything, you can make an animation very good supervision, and go deep into every detail of the production to make a work very good supervision.

But in any case, this ability will not be reflected in a young man like Miyadai...... Or that the label of "inexperienced" attached to him is doomed to not be trusted.

How can "amateurs" get to the point so easily? She has to go through training to become popular, and in essence, she is no longer an amateur at that time...... Hey, what industry is this summing up?

Ahem, of course it's about the issue of animation supervision.

"To be honest, given Mr. Miya's age, this level of completion of the script and even the animation project was actually quite surprising to us, and we also learned that the VOCALOID project that your company is currently working on was created by you, but there is always a limit to surprise, and it can't last forever......," says Kyoichiro Natsume.

The selling point of "The Flying Witch" is cut small and deep, it is a work that wants to sell black silk, and Gong Dai's ability to find out this selling point seems simple, but in fact it is quite rare. This is equivalent to adapting to the buying needs of a specific audience in a precise way, and this ability to do sales, planning or promotion is the most important.

Therefore, as long as the investor is not stupid, he will be able to find that the project is operational...... However, this operability is premised on the fact that the images of the work can be produced as indicated in the project, but in the eyes of anyone, Miyadai will be an obstacle to the production process if he is to supervise it, except for himself.

"Mr. Gong, macro planning and meticulous production are not the same, and it doesn't mean that you can do the latter well, and the composition of the series and the supervision are completely different positions...... The key question is, is the person who is the director of this animation unchangeable? Based on your answers, I will re-evaluate the feasibility of this project. Natsume's words are naturally not false, and theoretically speaking, his words should be able to pose a considerable degree of psychological pressure to a young man like Miyadai Soko...... Theoretically.

If Miyadai insists on being the overseer, then it is extremely unlikely that Aniplex will be funded.

How can a high school student come out and be an animation supervisor? It's great for a young person to write a good story, but overseer?

It's not impossible for a screenwriter to change careers to become a director, but at least you have to be a senior screenwriter, and examples in the animation industry are even rarer, similar "celebrities...... For example, you can write dragons and tigers, unheard flower names, and you can write a fan who is obsessed to the end; Okada Kojiri Okada, who can write butter scripts and enter to be an animation supervisor.

Insert one more sentence, why is there a bias in public opinion against the animation industry? Because there are problems in this line of work, almost every big guy has such a black history behind him...... Okama has created such a masterpiece as "Ze Yue Zhi", and Shinkai Cheng also does the H intro, not to mention Nanze Eighteen.

Black is black, and animation is an industry that tells children about their dreams...... Who don't you smack?

And Gong Dai's attitude at this time is more interesting, for a big man like Natsume, his attitude is still relatively correct...... It looks like this, but in reality?

He will be blessed when he should be blind, and he will be deceived when it is time to be pitted...... He did the same.

With his age, Miyadai Kana knew that it was impossible for the other party to believe that he had the ability to supervise an animation, and since it was difficult to gain this kind of trust, it was better not to have this kind of trust at all than to increase the trust that could not influence the other party's judgment on the basis of "distrust".

So he smiled unhurriedly, and then explained, "Mr. Natsume, the total production cost of the work 'Flying Witch' is 100 million yen, and 50 million of it is raised by Mad Poihat, so ideally this work will only be jointly funded by Aniplex and Mad Poihat, and Mr. Natsume must have known a certain amount about our situation before. ”

"It was very risky for Mad Poihat to try to make such an investment because we couldn't afford to fail, but we had to do it in order to go further."

"So in order to reduce the possibility of losing money, first of all, the original work needs to be topical, it needs to be known, and it needs a certain amount of hype before it is broadcast...... So if that's the case, how about the hype point of '18-year-old animation supervisor'? ”

The Flying Witch is an original work and has no audience base, so it really needs to be topical if it wants to be a hit.

"This animation will actually be supervised by Kishi Seiji or our veteran performer Yukiko Ryugen, and the supervision column will be under my name...... But it's just in name. ”

In order for an original animation work to have a topical degree, it must either be a big production by a large company, or the subject matter of the work itself has a hype point, or the supervision of the work is controversial...... On the side of Gong Dai, it is naturally impossible for large companies, and it is not easy to fry daily themes, so relatively speaking, it is the easiest and easiest way to make a magical supervision.

As Miyayo explained to Kyoichiro Natsume.

Generally speaking, this kind of behavior of "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep" is not easy to operate, and it will even involve the issue of infringement of authorship, but Miyadai is different, he is not only a "supervisor", but also the president of Mad Poihat.

This kind of reason makes sense logically, and Natsume is a little convinced. Because he can understand the survival of small animation companies...... A small company like Mad Poihat should honestly work for the production committee at this stage of development, but the ambition of this young man in front of him obviously does not stop there, so he will try to join the investment link.

And even if Mad Poihat can make a contribution, in case of a loss, its capital chain and financial situation will definitely not be able to withstand that kind of consequence, so they need to speculate.

"18-year-old overseer" is indeed a good entry point, and Natsume has to admit it...... And if it was just a name, then the obstacle he feared most would not exist.

However...... Actually?

Kishi Seiji or Yukiko Ryumoto? Impostors?

No, no, there is no such troublesome thing.

Gong Daiju rolled up his sleeves, of course, he still had to do this work by himself...... His restless heart, which likes to experiment with a wide range of industries, sometimes can't even hold himself down.

So...... He is very unkind to arrest whoever is cheating on whom.

People who lack virtue in the five elements are always habitually lacking in virtue, and he doesn't care who the person sitting opposite is.
