Chapter 172: The Source of a Strong Country
In terms of influence, among the pinnacle works of light daily animation, there must be a work called "K-ON", and it can even be said that it is the pinnacle work.
"Will the most important project for next year be the 'K-ON' that was previously published on our website?" Without waiting for Miyadai to explain in more detail, Sugida had already guessed which project he was going to carry out next year.
"You guessed it? Is our intention so obvious? "This is a surprise for the Miyadai sonata, on the official website of Mad Poihat, a new original section has been opened before, that is, to publish some new original works, other forms of new animation, and also accept some "contributions".
From a general point of view, they are just a kind of "self-sufficient" imitation, like another local animation company, this trend is likely to be a harbinger of preparing to set up a small library, and from the sequence of the process, Mad Poihat is more like letting others go to the thunder in front, it follows the back to take the copycat route, but the strength of the front is very strong, and Mad Poihat's family background is much weaker, which is a bit like a handan toddler.
On the surface, this is a rather undisciplined behavior, but in reality, it is even more undisciplined......
Miyadai has never been ...... Well, for the time being, I definitely haven't thought about doing library operations, they don't have the strength, and they don't plan to "show their strength" in the island country's publishing industry, what he does is more direct and more fruitful-in order to avoid "trouble", he is just rushing to issue and preemptively register copyrights.
Miyadai Sonata simply treats this kind of thing as a natural phenomenon "first come, first served", and as for Kyoto Animation, the savior of the industry, and Fangbunsha, another savior of the industry, when appropriate, President Miya will apologize to them in a pious prayer...... Pray that they will never meet someone like themselves again.
Regardless of Fang Wensha, there are several things that Kyoto Animation is busy with at this time, first of all, the production of the second season of Clannad, followed by the heroic and failed attempt of the independent project "MUNTO" (the world through the eyes of a girl looking up at the sky), and then the preparation of the cold rice of Haruhi Suzumiya, that is, the production of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" in the chronological order of the story mixed with the old content Fourteen chapters, and the tragic "Endless August" in the history of animation is about to happen.
After the script and story were restricted, Kyoto Animation changed the performance and supervision methods to produce a total of 8 episodes of "Endless August" with the same story content for two consecutive months...... Most viewers don't go back to the study storyboard frame by frame when they watch the anime.,Imagine how it feels like for an audience who likes this work.,Watch a story for eight weeks in a row in the process of chasing the fan......
This "lengthy" way of provoking fans made the works that love this anime put themselves in the shoes of "Yuki Nagato", who cycled 15,532 times in a row during the same summer vacation.
Of course, there is no shortage of "sincerity" on the screen, in order to ensure the quality of the paintings, they will lengthen the painting cycle to achieve the goal of excellence, and with their production capabilities, on the basis of the previous one, two, three, even if they are still looking for new production projects, it is impossible to be light.
Because this is something that has long been hung on the Mad Poihat website...... If you want to fight for animation rights from copyright owners in a similar way to the previous "Dragon and Tiger", then Mad Poihat and Kyoto Animation are not competitors at the same level - the former will lose and the latter will win, which is no longer a competition.
Considering his own weakness and the "natural need" of being an animation company, Miyayo allowed Mad Poihat to win before the competition occurred.
On the Mad Poihat website, there are fragmented, incoherent and unified stories of K-ON from character sketches to complete character designs, scene settings to the overall stage, which were completed by some of Mad Poihat's original artists under the direction of Miyadai Soyu, and most of the pictures are not as complete as four-panel comics, but this has already determined its copyright ownership.
It's precisely because of the degree of completion that if you mix it up in a bunch of "originals" that seem to be true and fake, it won't be obvious...... Or that K-ON manga and anime weren't the same thing, so Miyadai was naturally curious about how Sugida made that judgment.
"It's very simple, if you use 'Strawberry' as a springboard, then this important project is likely to be a daily animation, and I know most of the 'originals' on the website, and there are very few works in this genre, and 'K-ON' impressed me the most." Sugida explained that there are very few works on her website, and although she is embarrassed to say it, but from the actual feeling, a large part of these few works are used to make up the number, and there are many things like the second history of the junior high school boy, and it is not difficult to choose the right one if you choose from it.
And looking at Gong Dai's reaction, she also knew that she was right...... However, she can't see the potential value of K-ON for the time being.
What was the audience response to this type of work? Perhaps "strawberry marshmallow" is really a very important "touchstone".
"Has the company decided how much to invest in that K-ON now?" After thinking about it, Sugita finally asked the question.
Mad Poihat's attention to "Empty Realm" is understandable, after all, there is still a father in the production committee who is watching this work, and although it is relatively cold in the same series, but on the whole, "Empty Realm" is still a popular work, and it is worth making a big attempt.
And what about K-ON, is it worth trying this way on themes such as light daily life, campus, girls, and music?
"Judging from the feedback from the disc market in the past few years and the future expectations, we judge that the works of this theme will become a 'key theme' in the future...... From the level of determination, the company judges that it should focus on such a plan, and then the supervisor strives to do his job well, then we are half the battle......"
"After all, animation is such a thing, and the audience's reaction can be expected and expected, but it is impossible to accurately measure it in advance." Miyadai said.
Planning is a matter for the company to decide, and it is the responsibility of the supervisor to do the plan well, especially for the new supervisors, who are more often beyond their control in an industry where the authority of such supervision is increasingly reduced.
Of course, here Gong Daisheng just told the other party that even if such a plan was accidentally messed up in the end, it would be the responsibility of him, the decision-maker, not the responsibility of the overseer.
Therefore, when it is time to move forward boldly, it is good to move forward, Mr. Gong said that I will send the black pot to death, so what is there to worry about.
