There are some quite inconsistencies between animation and other films, and the reason for these peculiarities lies simply in the way it is made and the finished product. For example, it's not surprising that a live-action film is four hours long, but it's not surprising that it's cut into two-and-a-half hours or even two hours when it's released, but that's not possible with an animated film.

Unlike the release version, live-action movies often have a director's cut version that better expresses the director's ideas, but animation is different, and if you are scheduled to make 80 minutes of footage, the final production time will not fluctuate too much.

The reason is very simple, because on average, the cost of a single shot of animation is higher than that of ordinary films, and in order to better perform or picture performance, general films often shoot a certain clip repeatedly to choose the best one, but it is impossible in animation production.

On the other hand, once the storyboard and L/O have been decided, the original artist has absolutely no right to make any changes, even if his idea is better and obviously much better than the plan given by the supervisor and the performer, and he cannot "act on his own". Animation creation is extremely free, but it is also extremely unfree, and certain mechanical executions are guaranteed to ensure cost control and final picture results.

It's not that there are no original artists who can change the storyboard by themselves, change the action and finally be allowed, and even these original paintings especially like to "change randomly" by themselves, and the more important the CUT, the more "self-proclaimed" they change, but that is an extreme special case, and there are very few original paintings whose technology is recognized to that extent.

At least Mad Poihat doesn't have that kind of high-profile talent.

Of course, the film they are currently working on does not require the kind of cutting-edge concept art, which is the norm and the cinematography is whimsical, which is their current characteristic and policy.

Their on-site control was also very good, and there were no problems with the production schedule of "Little Forest", and by October, Miyadai had seen the first half of the summer and autumn chapters.

Although Little Forest is not a high-profile film in all respects, and there are many imperfections, it is the first film that Mad Poihat is ready to show on the big screen, so everyone attaches great importance to both the production process and the results.

In the conference room screening room, Mad Poihat's "important people" gathered here to watch this half of the film together.

"President, how are you feeling?"

As soon as the film was screened to the end, the superintendent Yukiko Ryugen had already stood up and turned on the light switch again, and then asked Gong Daijuan about his viewing experience...... It can be seen that she cares a little bit about the feelings of the people on the scene, especially the Gong Dai, after all, this is her first work, and a little nervousness is inevitable.

"Is this the final fix?" Miyadai asked.

"Well, we're already optimizing, and if we submit it to Kawakaku Pictures and Aomori and see the film, and we don't think there's anything wrong with the picture, then we won't have anything to modify...... In other words, this can be seen as a direct screening. Long Yuan said.

Gong Daisang nodded, agreeing with her statement, and then continued, "I think so too, as far as the current film is concerned, I personally think it is impeccable, especially the excellent performance of the photography department." ”

"Overall, our films should be able to make a splash......"

By "impeccable", Miyayo does not mean that Mad Poihat has shown the industry-leading level in the production of Little Forest, but that they have played the level of production that they should have played, and from a subjective point of view, they are indeed meticulous in crafting this work with 100% enthusiasm.

Therefore, even if there are only a few people who like this story style with a soothing rhythm, a flat plot, and almost no plot conflicts and contradictions, only from the perspective of picture performance, most of the time you have to admit that "Little Forest" is a work of conscience.

Of course, the third-party evaluation of this kind of thing is subjective, and to a certain extent, it can be said to be one-sided. In a sense, it is not as good as making others feel that they have put in 100% effort, and the so-called "evaluation" is just that.

It's hard to judge whether the former or the latter is meant by Miyadai's words, but it's not debatable, it's clear that he's just affirming the "Little Forest".

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a hard time......" he said, and Iwami Mai on the side stood up and applauded very cooperatively, she really deserved to be her own senior sister.

So for a while, the applause in the conference room was quite lively.

"Give the film to our 'top boss', see their specific opinions first, and then try to complete the finishing work of the second half of the 'Little Forest' this year, and the energy of making a group next year will be transferred to the 'Empty Realm'." Miyadai said.

…………

"Kawakaku Pictures...... How much can or are you going to do a large-scale release on a small forest? ”

After talking a lot about the "Little Forest" and their expectations, most of the people left the conference room, and soon there were only two people left, Miyadai and Iwami Mai, and then he asked.

"They haven't given a clear statement and specific numbers for the time being, 100 screens? It's unlikely, but my personal estimate is that it's only about half, that is, between 50 and 100, which is barely a medium-sized release. According to the attitude of Kawakaku Ei's side, Iwami Mai made a rough estimate.

"Hey, aren't you disappointed?"

didn't hear the "expected" complaints, and Iwami Mai was still surprised.

"There's nothing to be disappointed about, it's a normal and reasonable arrangement, we don't think Xiaolin has any box office impact, not to mention the experienced Chuanjiao Films, recovering costs and gaining a recognized good reputation is everyone's purpose, isn't it?" Miyadai said that he was indeed looking at this issue quite rationally.

"We're not making Hollywood blockbusters, so we don't expect to get the first release scale of 800 screens, on the other hand, think about it, imported blockbusters 800, we are less than 80, in a sense, it is enough to give us face, we are only 10 times worse than giants like Fox and Columbia......"

This statement is quite Ah Q, is there a comparison between the two?

"So-kun, I'm always optimistic in surprising places, but after you say that, it really makes people feel a lot better."

The senior sister seems to have been infected by the spiritual victory method, originally she wanted to try her best to strive for the scale of the release, although it was probably an unwarranted effort, but after listening to Gong Dai's statement, she felt that there was no need to waste energy.

President Miya inadvertently discouraged the friendly forces, and there is no doubt that this was not his intention.
