Chapter 378: Sword Art Online Animation
Some things in this world are so wonderful, Ji Kong almost forgot about his birthday, but because of the muse's accidental question, he remembered it again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And under the influence of some external factors, the situation is slowly about to develop into uncontrollable.
When Jikong was taking the train home in the afternoon, Kazuchi Suzuki called.
Of course, he must have called for something serious.
The animation of the first season of Sword Art Online has officially started!
When they signed a contract with Kazuchi Suzuki, they had already negotiated with each other.
In order to maintain the popularity of "Sword Art Online", and at the same time take into account the process of animation, Ji Kong released a volume of "Sword Art Online" every month, and at the same time, from the date of signing the contract, Dengeki Bunko began to work on the animation of "Sword Art Online".
In fact, not long after signing the contract, Dengeki Bunko had already negotiated with A-1 Pictures, a famous animation production company, to fully contract them for the production of the first season of "Sword Art Online".
Of course, before making a decision, Kazuchi Suzuki must have also informed Ji Kong, but Ji Kong did not express any objections to this.
After all, since he signed the Dengeki Library, the copyright of "Sword Art Online" has actually been in the hands of the Dengeki Library, so Suzuki Kazuchi can still ask him what he thinks in this situation because he respects him, but if Ji Kong really still criticizes, then he really can't be a person.
And the reason why it was negotiated more than half a month ago, but now it has officially started animation, is actually because there are too many things to prepare in the early stage of making an animation.
The voice actor needs to be selected, the supervisor, director, animation production and other personnel need to be arranged, and the initial setting must be done from the beginning.
So don't watch the anime and think that this production is very easy, but in fact, before the animation is officially broadcast, there must be at least three months of preparation in the early stage.
"Actually, the people from A-1 Pictures want to visit Sora-sensei and talk about Sora-sensei's views on the novel "Sword Art Online" and the analysis of the character of each character in it, I wonder if Sora-sensei has time?"
Kazuchi Suzuki asked on the phone.
"Forget it."
Ji Kong thought about it and pushed it away.
It's not that he wants to play big.
On the one hand, he didn't feel that he had much understanding of Sword Art Online, and on the other hand, he really didn't have much time to talk to others about it right now.
Comics, novels, games, and amusement parks, these things have almost squeezed his free time, so he doesn't want to spend his time on other things.
Suzuki Kazuchi was not surprised by Ji Kong's answer, after all, he was also very aware of Ji Kong's current situation, but after thinking about it, he still said: "I can push this matter off for Mr. Sora, but there is one more thing, I hope Mr. Sora you must care about it." ”
"What's the matter?"
"The animated character design of Sword Art Online." Kazuchi Suzuki explains, "A-1 Pictures has already completed the animation character design for Sword Art Online and handed over the original manuscript to us, so I hope Sora-sensei will take a look at it. ”
Kazuchi Suzuki didn't lie, for an animation production, the initial character design is indeed very important, so important that the character design is not determined, and all departments cannot start work.
Although Ji Kong has already drawn illustrations for Sword Art Online, the illustrations can only be used as a reference at most, and cannot be directly used as a character for animation.
Anyone who has been in contact with anime often knows that the character set up in the light novel is not necessarily exactly the same as the character set up in the anime.
There are even some characters in the anime that are completely different from the images in the light novel illustrations.
This is because the character setting is the core content in the animation, so there are naturally more places to consider.
And this change sometimes makes the animation more brilliant, but sometimes, it can make the character collapse, so before deciding on the character, the animation production company will ask the author for his opinion.
"That's ......"
Ji Kong looked at the time, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, which was still very early, and it didn't take much time to look at the character design, so he said, "Okay, I'll come to the Electric Shock Library now." ”
"Then it's going to be troublesome."
Kazuchi Suzuki hung up very respectfully.
Get off the train at the next tram stop season, then transfer to the denukeki bunko directly.
The train in Japan is still very fast, and the location of the denukki bunko company is also very close to the train stop, so after more than half an hour, Ji Kong came to Suzuki Kazuchi's office.
Kazuchi Suzuki led Jikong to the sofa and sat down, and then poured a glass of water for Jikong himself.
Ji Kong stood up and took it with both hands, thanked him, and then sat down and began to carefully look at the stack of manuscript papers placed on the coffee table.
These manuscript papers are the characters of the first season of the animation of "Sword Art Online", and there are about twenty or thirty sheets.
The character design of the animation is different from the way the comic is drawn, and it seems to be more unrestrained and rough, but Ji Kong looks at it very seriously, and it often takes several minutes to look at a character design.
After all, "Sword Art Online" is his first animated work, so it is natural to strictly control it.
After looking at the characters of the other characters, Ji Kong put them down with satisfaction, but when he saw Asuna, he hesitated a little, and the expression on his face was a little hesitant.
"Mr. Kong, is there something wrong with this person?" Kazuchi Suzuki asked.
"This Asuna feels a little ......" Ji Kong thought for a moment and said, "It feels a little too hard." ”
Seeing that Suzuki Kazuchi showed a somewhat puzzled look, Ji Kong explained: "When I say 'hard', I mean that Asuna feels too strong...... Or maybe it's too girly. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Indeed, in Sword Art Online, Asuna is a very heroic girl, she is the deputy head of the Blood Alliance Knights, and she also has the title of Asuna of the Flash, both PVE and PVP are very powerful, but at the same time, she is also a little confused, at the moment when Akihiko Kayaba announced that the game could not be exited, she actually thought 'Oops, At the same time, she is a very qualified wife, she is gentle, she has a very good cook, and she will be a bird when necessary...... So such a character actually has a lot of cute points, and it is a little inappropriate to only portray her strong side. (To be continued.) )
