Chapter 173: A New Attempt (I)
The planning plan naturally precedes the actual production, and when it comes to the initial idea and prototype of an animation, the time span cannot be generalized, and even five or six years in the making is the norm...... Putting aside the assembly line and following the trend of that type of work.
As for Miyadai, what he has to consider is not so simple, he needs to make trade-offs between Mad Poihat's production capabilities, the quality of the pictures he can make, the appropriate broadcast period of the work, the general audience with purchasing power, or the "popular taste" of animation fans...... Although he has a relatively clear "reference" on the timeline, when he makes it himself, it is not the same as standing outside and watching the excitement, and these things need to be considered specifically and slightly.
Animations like "Light Girl" are actually hard to predict how popular they will be before they are played, and this kind of "surprise" is always quite unexpected. But in general, at this time, it can be said that it is the most appropriate time to start this project: move it forward by two years, and such a "forward-looking" style animation will become a "niche animation" that is popular with some people; If you postpone it for two years, it is likely that it will only be "excellent" due to the proliferation of "moe" trends, but for K-ON, just being excellent means "everyone else".
Only by playing this card on the "cusp" can it play the role of "leading the trend" - when the audience's aesthetic mood has a great trend but it happens to be in a state of "leading but not provoking", the first work of this kind can become the kind of phenomenal work with irreproducible characteristics.
The quality of the work and the date of publication can be regarded as equally important.
Of course, the rational judgment is like this, but the final effect and repercussions of the work will be affected by controllable factors, and even more by uncontrollable factors.
Improving the importance of supervision and ensuring the ability to paint in the company are all areas that can be worked on, so Miyadai has announced in advance the key projects for the coming year...... In terms of the planning period, it is difficult to say that this time is "ahead", and Mad Poihat's animation production cycle is always so tight.
Well, all animation companies are tight, this is the characteristic of the industry, and the commercial nature determines that no one can really spend enough time to "work hard" on an animation.
…………
Although Mad Poihat was in the midst of a most critical "period of transition" at this time...... It is preparing to transform from a small workshop to a large TV animation company, and now it is unknown whether it will succeed or fail, but the importance will not change the probability of success, but at this time, Miss Producer, one of the most important roles in the company, rarely stays in the company.
Or that she hasn't appeared in the company for many days in a row, and her work responsibilities are much less, and the responsibility for many things has to be transferred to Gong Daiyu, which is quite unfortunate.
And the fortunate thing is that according to the truth of "things must be opposed", Mai Iwami will soon be able to return to work, and she will return to work completely.
She was supposed to graduate and leave college early next year at the latest, but after finishing the final part of her studies and thesis, she was actually already in the state of graduation this summer, and her attention was diverted from work for this reason some time ago...... Obviously, she is used to solving some things in a concentrated and quick way, and there is no procrastination in this girl, which has to be said to be a rare quality.
Although Miyadai is also a very planned person, his planning comes from a "precipitation" rather than an "innate" quality...... In his previous life, he was an amorphous person, and the way he chose his career was completely Brownian (that is, there was no principle), not to mention the frequency of job hopping and the scope of his practice.
Now he can be regarded as a successful example of the above-mentioned "things must be opposed".
Aside from his work, his personal affairs are still quite casual, such as the recent fact that he often runs to some institutions of higher learning in order to cultivate his cultural literacy - well, everyone has the right to pursue knowledge.
In addition, in addition to the pursuit of knowledge, some people also have the right to pursue girls.
"Senior sister, the things in the school are almost over, right?" Miyadai said to Iwami Mai beside her, and the two of them were sitting on a stone bench in the shade of the trees, but it was difficult to feel cool in such a place on a windless summer afternoon.
"Well, it's over...... Compared to other people, I should have spent less time in school during college, but when it was time to leave, it was rare to have a rolling mood. The senior sister said, the fine sweat on her cheeks made a strand of long hair on her forehead stick to her skin, and the hot and messy air made her long hair a little messy, which made her whole person feel like an "athletic girl...... Although this sweating was caused by the fact that she had to "speed up" because she had to adapt to the pace of Gong Dai.
"It seems that the senior sister also has an immature part, and I was very calm when I left school." Gong Daizu said casually, the calmness brought by this reunion experience has become a part of his self-satisfaction, and he is a high school graduate, and his senior sister classmate graduated from a key university, and the effect is different, right?
The senior sister glanced at Gong Daiyu and confirmed that the "immature part" in his mouth did not implicitly complain about his height, so she continued, "Shouldn't my feelings be more normal?" It's the behavior of turning around and leaving like Sokun that makes people feel strange. ”
She probably has a feeling similar to "the forehead drop of the young bird is gone", but next to her is a person who has a little bird gone and returned, so the two of them don't seem to fall on the same channel about this matter.
There are cicadas chirping again, and it's a sleepy summer afternoon, and the two of them chatted first, and the senior sister's emotion couldn't last long, chatting and chatting about them back to animation.
"The broadcast of strawberry marshmallow has gone smoothly so far, but because of the limited energy of the senior sister in the company before, some new attempts to be made have not yet been launched......
The work of a producer is still very important, and there are many times that no one else can replace.
Senior Sister nodded, she knew what Miyadai was talking about, "Speaking of Mad Poihat's operating policy, it's quite strange, on the one hand, we are actively trying to cooperate with all parties, and on the other hand, we are developing ourselves in the direction of 'independent small kingdom'......"
Her summary is quite in place, and her work will probably move towards "new attempts".
