Chapter 171: Born for Explosions
Generally speaking, the first word of animation focuses on story substitution, character introduction and world view shaping, and plot-oriented works will also tend to be suspenseful compared to plot stacking, bringing the audience into the story.
The same is true for daily episodes, but the process will be faster, because this kind of work is not allowed to explain too much about the worldview, so as to save time and space, and shift the focus to the introduction of the characters and quickly enter the story.
But animation or comics are all using an exaggerated way of telling stories.,The difference is just the degree of exaggeration.,This also applies to everyday fans.。
In the first episode of "Berry Littering", the main characters are introduced from the perspective of "sister" in the first half, and the accompanying plot in the process is that she has to rely on the bad behavior of harming her sister's pocket money to achieve the purpose of buying tobacco when she is in financial difficulties.
In the second half, the perspective is reversed, and Lori herself begins to express their personalities: since the next day is her sister's birthday, they stay up late to make handmade gifts for their sister...... As ironic as the process is, it achieves the heartwarming outcome that such stories necessarily need to achieve.
In terms of soundtrack, "Berry Littering" is characterized by often replacing the more musically musical BGM with natural ambient sounds, or it can also be said that it builds a more realistic environment and atmosphere with the lack of instrumental music.
This kind of daily story will basically unfold in the form of a unit drama or subsection, so you can determine how the rest of the story will unfold after the first episode. Roughly speaking, this is the kind of work that "Strange Shu Millet" will like, but conceptually speaking, it is not an animation made specifically for "Strange Shu Millet", and there is no flattering component, and what is even more rare is that this is a part that people other than the creator can easily understand.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this "pure" healing effect that it can become the kind of anime that is loved on a ten-year basis.
However, in terms of trends, on the one hand, if the premise is "the same quality of fine works", the commercial performance of such works will definitely be on the rise if they are placed three or four years ago and now.
On the other hand,This kind of light funny、Light daily works,There has always been a ceiling in sales,Even with the addition of Lori,And compared to many other types of works,This type of animation sales lacks "malleability",It's not as high as it gets,And after having a quality premise,It's relatively easy to recover costs。
It's not risky enough, and in terms of risk and return, it's naturally difficult to have that feeling of "sales explosion", but it's not without works that can be exploded, and the light daily theme type of 10,000 years of dumb fire, if it is really fried, it will be comparable to the "Tunguska explosion".
In TV animation, if an animation company really wants to gain a foothold, it needs more than just a certain work that is popular or a big hit, it needs to go one step further - it needs to be "phenomenal", and only phenomenal works can make the general audience go beyond their favorite characters and the animation itself, and instead pay attention to the animation company that produces the animation.
"Influence" is naturally closely related to sales or commercial performance, but this is not absolute, for example, Mad Poihat's best-selling "IS" so far, its popularity has dissipated quickly; On the other hand, there are some works that do not sell to the point of exaggeration, but they become very high-profile works, such as "White Box".
But if you really want the kind of fried people to pieces, first out of four twos and then two kings, then naturally you still need these aspects to "go hand in hand".
Although the "Strawberry Marshmallow" has only just begun to be broadcast, Miyashiro is already ready to discuss the next step with Superintendent Sugita.
The opening credits of the program before and after, plus the advertisement in the middle, it takes a little more than 30 minutes for this to be actually broadcast, and this time is enough time for Gong Daisheng to reveal some content to his supervisor.
Because I was looking at the video, the conference room screening room was dimmed, and now it was a bit of a lack of lighting, and Miyadai and the young lady sat in the corner of the back position, and the atmosphere looked like they were discussing some "conspiracy".
"Because it's an animation that's in progress, and the pressure of production gradually increases after the screening starts, 'quality assurance' is a relative term, and the final result is still subject to a lot of uncertainties, and as the final episode approaches, this uncertainty ...... Or to put it simply, the risk factors that affect quality are increasing, and I fully understand this......" Miyashiro said, these words are not difficult to understand, but in terms of production cycle, the last sentence is almost the most rushed, and it is easy to go wrong, but he then changed his style, "But I still hope that what I see in the end is a good product, and frankly, this will affect my recent evaluation of the production of the three groups, and the strawberry marshmallow is the benchmark and benchmark to measure the usefulness of our new production team." ”
Miyadai used this fairly clear attitude to show his expectations for the completion of "Strawberry Marshmallow", and considering his identity, this "expectation" is actually counted as an "order", even if it is the top person in charge of the enterprise, it is actually quite inappropriate to mention such a thing after the animation starts, and this kind of "toughness" can easily cause the unhappiness of the supervision.
Not everything can be forced up or down by position, and this also involves a matter of respect.
However, Sugida did not have any negative emotions because of this, because she heard something else in the slightly abnormal words of Miyadai Song.
"Will this 'evaluation' affect the next project of the production team after the production team that is currently underway?" She asked.
Pressure, ability, responsibility, responsibility, these words are often linked, and if Gong Daizuo has any high requirements for this new production team, it probably means that it has the possibility of taking on more important work in the future.
Miyadai first nodded in agreement, and then said, "Not only the production team, but also the judgment of the supervisor's personal proficiency, the two are separated, but the best result is that you can reach a certain height at the same time......"
"I hope to hand over Mad Poihat's most important project for next year to Superintendent Sugida, which is as important as or more than this year's Empty Realm, and given your qualifications, you need to at least perform well enough at this stage of 'Strawberry'......"
Gong Daiju needs to take into account such things as fairness in decision-making and equal opportunities as much as possible.
And his metaphor also gave Sugida enough insight into the new project, and although she could hear that she had the possibility of making a new project in one or two groups, she realized the importance of completing the "strawberry marshmallow".
