16. This is called rubbing heat (5k)
"Huh? It's not quite the same as the game? β
Furukawa Hirozawa's fingers shook, and he almost didn't drop the instant noodles in his hand to the ground.
Originally, he didn't plan to watch the Onmyoji anime at first, but when he got home from work, he played games for a while, and when it was almost 7 o'clock, he couldn't help but turn on TV Tokyo.
The main thing is that if you don't look at it, your heart will itch.
After all, Onmyoji is also a game he likes very much, and from the beginning of this game, Furukawa Hirosawa has been a big fan of Onmyoji.
It is precisely because of die-hard fans that they don't have the courage to watch the anime, for fear that if the adaptation is not good, it will ruin the original.
The experience of the game is actually very different from the audience's feeling brought by the cartoon.
It is very difficult to only change the game.
What's more, Kyoto Animation is not well-known, and has been doing outsourcing work before, even if the PV is beautiful, Furukawa Hirosawa has to put a big question mark in his heart.
However, after he finished watching the first episode of "Onmyoji", he was really infected by the plot and the characters in the animation.
The script is brand new, but it still maintains the main vein of the game, giving you a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
And when he saw the actor Amakura Yuan pushing open the door of the hot spring hotel, a strong uneasiness rose in his heart.
Later, when the onmyoji said that there was no help, and Asakura Yuan hugged his aunt and cried bitterly, Furukawa Hiroze's heart was already extremely low.
That feelingβ
The feeling of playing Onmyoji once rushed like a tide, irrigating his whole body, and then overflowing from his eye sockets.
The actor cried heartbreakingly, and he couldn't stand it.
Furukawa Hirosawa wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and scolded Kyoto Animation half to death in his heart.
Damn, I'm going to go under the knife in the first episode, do you want to be a man?
The reason why Kyoto Animation did this must have been influenced by the old thieves of the ancient plains.
What's the matter, can it still be animated, give it a better ending.
β¦β¦
The game and the anime are still very different.
In the game, you can store clues in different places, and players can explore to get information and integrate them.
Combat can be turn-based, without considering tension.
But animation is different, animation is very dramatic, especially contradictions and explosiveness, if it fails to produce a strong enough attraction to make the audience have a sense of expectation, then animation will go far.
This is also the reason why the magic is changed.
Qing Zhiyuan has read and agreed with the script, and he also agrees with KyoAni's idea-
Only by adapting the script will Onmyoji's animation become more tense.
β¦β¦
At the same time, Sunrise Animation is here.
Just finished watching the first episode of "Onmyoji" produced by Kyoto Animation, Katsuyoshi Tanidabe was silent for a long time.
The colleagues next to him were all hotly discussed.
"Sure enough, Kyoto Animation is an outsourcing company after all, and it is the first time that it is the main animation production, so it is obvious that the standard is not enough."
"Not to mention that the plot line is relatively thin, and the fineness of the production is not good, it is obviously a grade lower than ours."
"We're relieved, right?"
Their evaluations are relatively professional, and people with a discerning eye can know what the problem is at a glance.
Onmyoji, the cartoon, the shortcomings are really obvious, the lines outlined in some shots are good, but the effect of the production gives people a low feeling.
From beginning to end, you can feel the word "poor".
Even in the most exciting fight part of the entire first episode, the main character's participation is very low, some of the fight plots are not smooth enough, and the special effects are not fully in place, and it looks more like a half-finished product.
Everyone knows that a work like "Onmyoji" does not have the strength to compete with "The First Sakura War".
It's just that because of the proximity of time, and the ancient style was forcibly put together.
After reading this, everyone's hearts are relieved.
"I've been working all night, and I've worked hard, so I'll ......" A girl stood up and prepared to pack up her things and go home from work.
"Huh? Is that what you guys say? At this moment, Katsuyoshi Tanitabe asked.
Everyone was shocked, and looked at the overseer with strange and bewildered eyes.
"Their downside is that they're obviously good, but I'm seeing the opposite." Katsuyoshi Tanidabe said, "The production level of Onmyoji may not be enough, but the storyboard is quite powerful." β
Moreover, there is the foundation of Qing Zhiyuan's original painting here, even if KyoAni lacks the original painting god, or their original painting god has not been cultivated, but it can be quite good on the basis of Qing Zhiyuan's original painting.
"Have you seen the fight scene in the first episode clearly, although the actor's participation is not very high, but in the process of dodging attacks and counterattacks, his camera movement is quite beautiful."
"That kind of tension and oppression, even under such a rough lens performance, can still give us, and even sweat for it, are you embarrassed to say that other people's animation is not good?"
In Tanidabe's view, it is through such a simple and rough painting level that Onmyoji makes the camera movement and the smoothness of the movements better, and the atmosphere conveyed by the whole animation becomes more prominent.
It's clear that Kyoto Animation's supervision is not simple.
Andβ
After watching this episode, Katsuyoshi Tanidabe changed his opinion on the game's animation a little.
The reason why this step was achieved shows that the original artist of the game itself is also amazing.
If Kyoto Animation had a few more big-handed concept artists and post-production, what would it look like?!
"Don't underestimate your opponent too much, and try to improve your own painting skills." Katsuyoshi Tanitabe said.
"Okay! Supervise! β
β¦β¦
Three days later, on Monday, the students at the school were all talking about Friday's two cartoons.
"Nenei, have you watched TEPCO's "The Tale of the First Sakura War" and "Onmyoji" on Friday?"
Ichiro Matsuura said, "Uh-huh. I saw it. β
"How does it feel?"
"There's no comparison at all, right? I think about it now, at first Sakura Senki was still enthusiastic, and I was especially looking forward to what would happen next week, Oda Nobunaga deserved to be the Great Demon King of the Sixth Day, and he was simply handsome. β
"Mori Ranmaru is also very handsome, but it's a pity that in real history, he sacrificed himself to buy time for Oda."
"Huh? Really? Why are you telling me this fact, I'm speechless. β
"Onmyoji isn't as bad as you think, is it?" Matsuura retorted, "The portrayal in the early stage is very delicate, whether it is the plot or the performance of the characters, there is a feeling of slow progression, and don't you think that when Asakura Yuan hugged his aunt and cried bitterly, the whole person was broken?" β
"Tsk, you still use the idiom of liver and intestines." The little friend next to him bumped Matsuura with his elbow and teased him.
"I feel the same way, but the boy is embarrassed to say that he cried, so it's embarrassing."
"Nonsense, are you crying too? Me too. β
"Everyone is moved, right? Especially in that atmosphere at the time, I basically thought that I couldn't live. β
"Yes, my aunt didn't save it, I cried as much as the hero, and I felt that such a hero was so miserable. Then when I heard that there was hope for salvation, I was so excited. β
"Well, I can understand, when I saw the male protagonist sailing out to sea, with the grand background music, I just felt extremely moved in my heart, and I was so excited that I burst into tears."
"Seriously, I can cry twice in the first episode, and this is the first time I've seen it."
"Ah, when is Friday?"
β¦β¦
Originally, the broadcast of these two cartoons was not something worth paying attention to.,If it weren't for the crash.,It's broadcast and it's broadcast.,You may have an impression that you won't think about so many things.γ
But when the crash occurred, it attracted widespread attention.
Not only Sunrise's "Hatsuzakura Senta", but also Kyoto Animation's "Onmyoji" actually achieved very good ratings.
And after that, the heat continues to ferment, and it is often brought up by people as a comparison.
As a talking point before and after tea.
There are even many media outlets that have made comparative comments on these two animations.
After the first week, the animation industry has bound the two animations together, and I want to know what will happen next.
On the Friday of the second week, both "The Tale of the First Sakura War" and "Onmyoji" submitted a good answer.
There's nothing to say about Hatsuzakura Senki.,It's quite rich in experience in making animation.,And there are a lot of talents.,The content of the second episode has raised the work to a new level.,Animation ratings have made a considerable breakthrough even on TV Tokyo.γ
And the most touching thing is-
The second episode of "Onmyoji" produced by Kyoto Animation has actually had a very high improvement in quality, and the rough performance that could be clearly seen in the first episode has basically been cleaned up here, and the level of painting is obviously more powerful.
By the third week, there were not many flaws in the third episode of "Onmyoji", but because of its [god-level storyboard] and excellent script, people talked about it.
If "The First Sakura War" is a French feast, it will amaze the audience as soon as it comes up, and people have to score high.
Then "Onmyoji" is like a Chinese food with a rich flavor and more fragrant in the future, which makes people get started.
In other words, Kyoto Animation is improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
In February, Onmyoji and Hatsuzakura Senki became popular at the same time.
Yes, it's like the fire of Honnoji shown in the first episode of Hatsuzakura Senji, the kind of fire that burns so much that it burns through half the sky.
Every Friday after the show, people inevitably get together to discuss the two animations.
β¦β¦
After the anime became popular, pokeni is naturally a keyword that is often mentioned.
"Huh?! How so? β
Akane Ayase tilted her head, her big eyes flickering, and she hadn't thought much about it until now.
"The level of animation we produce is not as good as Risheng, but it is more popular, why is that?"
"How do you see that it's hotter?"
"Because many previous sellers have called us and want to order more cartridges for Onmyoji." Kazuma Takahashi, the commander of the marketing department, took over with a smile.
"And ......"
Akane Ayase glanced at the cardboard box in the corner, "We've received more blades." β
Qing Zhiyuan: ......
the chicken, when did the sending blade become popular?
"President, did you think of this layer from the beginning?" Akane Ayase lay her hands on Seichiwon's table and looked at him with puzzled and adoring eyes, "Because I remember that Kyoto Animation called me to ask if I wanted to change the schedule, but you refused.
Is it because I thought of today? β
When it came to this, Qing Zhiyuan didn't pretend anymore, just sat on the chair, turned around slowly, and smiled proudly.
"Do you know what it's called?"
"What's it called?"
"Rub the heat." Qing Zhiyuan said, "If others have a stronger reputation, if we bind ourselves to each other, we will let others notice." β
Sega and Ren Heaven often do this kind of thing, but by stepping on it, for example, Sega always likes to implant in advertisements -
Ren Heaven's handheld is too low.,It's still a black and white screen.,It's better to play with the concept of color.γ
Of course, Ren Heaven is not idle, and advertisements often satirize Sega's poor battery life.
Overall, Ren Heaven must have suffered a loss.
In any marketing case that rubs the heat, the one who takes advantage is always the one with little fame.
Or rather, it's actually a win-win ending, except that the less famous ones win more.
"And there's a psychological element to that." "People prefer people who have a low starting point and can grow quickly, and are more attractive than those who are already good and have achieved better results." β
The reason why the TV series "Dragon Sakura" was able to resound neon later even moved and inspired many Chinese audiences, because the starting point of several protagonists portrayed in Dragon Sakura is very low-
The countdown of the whole grade, through hard work, and then admitted to the university of Neon No. 1.
This incident is even more inspiring than the fact that the person who was the first in the school was admitted to the neon first university.
"Bottom Spice Girls" is also taking this path.
In China, the prodigal son's return is even more touching than the rise of genius.
"Kyoto Animation is like that now," said Aojiwon, "You can understand that Risen Animation is the top three in the whole grade, and Kyoto Animation is a poor student at the bottom, but now this guy at the bottom can actually get to the top of the whole grade, isn't it exciting, isn't it very encouraging?" β
"Wow!" Akane Ayase's whole body was shocked, and she stretched out her hand and patted Qing Zhiyuan's back, "President, you're too powerful, aren't you?" β
"As...... Can't you just be lighter?! β
β¦β¦
Although everyone likes to compare "The First Sakura War" and "Onmyoji" together, the main reason is that both are ancient themes, and they are also broadcast on the same day on the same TV station.
Not long after the last cartoon ended, the memories haven't dissipated yet, and the next one is coming.
It's hard not to compare.
In fact, there is a big difference between the story and the worldview.
In fact, this kind of thing can only be described as a coincidence.
Even if Sunrise wants to sue Kyoto Animation for plagiarism, there is no way.
After all, people are adapting the game, and the game was already on sale two years ago, so in terms of creation time, Onmyoji has to be in front.
If Qing Zhiyuan is a little more shameless, he can also backhand a wave of Sunrise Animation for plagiarizing their "Onmyoji"
β¦β¦
Overall, although this crash was an accident, it brought a lot of heat to both Sunrise and Kyoto Animation, and Sunrise was a little dumbfounded.
At first, I felt a little angry, after all, they were the stronger and more famous party, so I would feel a little unhappy when I was [touched] in my heart.
But seeing the ratings continue to rise, coupled with the fact that the videotapes are selling better and better, Sunrise Animation is also relieved.
Even, Sunrise Animation tasted the sweetness for the first time, and I can't wait to continue to be [touched porcelain], the higher the topic, the better.
KyoAni's side didn't expect such an outcome.
The first time I served as the main producer, I actually achieved good results.
The main thing is that from being scolded and spurned at the beginning, to being competitively ignited, gradually catching up, and slowly transitioning to being praised by others, it is really good.
After the third episode was broadcast, Kyoto Animation's president Hideaki Hatta came to Tokyo to visit Seongchigen and brought him a lot of gifts.
"Thank you, President Qing, you are really amazing. Thank you for choosing us. β
"No, no." Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "This is also because Kyoto Animation itself has high potential, but it has not been able to play out before." β
Speaking of potential......
No one agrees with this statement better than Hatta Hideaki.
He himself did not expect that the employees of the company could be inspired to such an extent and make great progress in such a short period of time.
It's nothing short of a miracle.
"To motivate us in this way, without your encouragement and expectations of us, we would not have worked so hard and would not have made such great progress. All thanks to you. β
Speaking of this, Hatta Hideaki couldn't help but sigh again.
President Ayo is simply a genius for managing and motivating people.
It's the first time he's ever seen anyone at Kyoto Animation inspire everyone at Kyoto Animation to such an extent that it's like it's on fire.
"Inspire?" Qing Zhiyuan felt a little confused.
"Hmm." Hatta Hideaki nodded thoughtfully, "At that time, Kyoto Animation heard that it was going to collide with Sunrise, and it was broadcast on the same day on the same TV station, so I didn't have any confidence in my heart, and everyone thought that they were going to be defeated by the other party."
In such a bleak situation, it was President Youth who gave us hope.
Because you saidβ
Believe in yourself.
Let's not change the broadcast time, but wrestle with Sunrise head-on.
I know that you are telling us not to be afraid, because the real opponent is ourselves, and we can only win if we show the courage, perseverance and hard work of 200% in the face of strong opponents.
Without you, we wouldn't have been able to make this much progress. β
Huh?
Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment.
So that's what I thought?
β¦β¦
