Chapter 138 "Anohana"
When the news that Chen Daohua was going to star in Lin Qiu's new film spread like wildfire on the Internet, the entire industry was in shock.
[Chen Daohua is out? Wow! ]
[What's going on? Lin Qiu actually invited Chen Daohua? It seems that this is the rhythm of three consecutive masterpieces! ]
[Too amazing, is it really that easy to make a masterpiece movie? How come Lin Qiu can make one after another! ]
[Now there is probably no director in Xiazhou who can stop Lin Qiu. I'm just curious about what kind of script moved Chen Daohua! ]
[With the old thief helping Lin Qiu, the script can't be bad! ]
...
Lin Qiu plus Chen Daohua!
One is a young leader among directors, and the other is a veteran actor with a reputation in Xiazhou.
This combination is even more incredible than the combination of Lin Qiu and Jiang Han, and what makes the audience even more excited is that "Dying to Survive" co-produced by Lin Qiu and Jiang Han is really a success!
6 billion box office, super high score of 9.6 points!
What kind of works will Lin Qiu and Chen Daohua bring?
"I didn't expect you to invite Teacher Chen!"
"Is there really no supporting role suitable for me?"
Jiang Han still asked without giving up.
Teacher Chen Daohua is the lead actor, and it is estimated that 99% of the actors in the entire film and television industry are willing to play a supporting role.
Including Jiang Han, who has the title of Best Actor!
"Really not."
Lin Qiu said helplessly, "I will definitely find you in the future, Brother Jiang."
"Okay."
Jiang Han sighed, just feeling a little regretful.
Mainly in the film "Hachiko: A Dog's Story", the dog actually has the most scenes.
Then there is the professor played by Chen Daohua and the professor's family.
There are no supporting roles with scenes, all of them are minor roles.
It is inappropriate to give minor roles to a movie emperor like Jiang Han.
"Let's go."
The crew of "Dying to Survive" still has several activities to participate in.
After participating, Lin Qiu should officially devote himself to the preparation and filming process of "Hachiko".
Lin Qiu was full of energy for the challenges and difficulties encountered in the filming of this movie.
…
Changan Film and Television Company.
Animation Department.
Since the end of last year, Changan Film and Television Company has officially entered the animation market as a capital, which has set off a sensation!
The elites of the animation companies in Xia, Han, and Ying were poached by Changan Film and Television Company at an unimaginable and irresistible high price!
Generally speaking, the elites of these animation companies will not give up their stable jobs in their original units and leave.
But Changan really gave too much, so much that they couldn't refuse!
What's more, it is a very simple truth that Changan, as a rising film and television company, must have a plan for spending such a huge price to build an animation department.
In addition, Lin Qiu revealed in the live broadcast before.
[Cement Sealed Heart], that is, Lao Zei's comics will be made into animations by Changan Film and Television Company, which makes these elites in the animation department full of expectations.
"Chang'an has set up an animation department specifically for Lao Zei, so the original comics can't be bad."
"It depends on when we get them."
In the animation department, a group of painters and production staff discussed.
When the comic manuscripts are in their hands, they will start working.
The head of the animation department is Zhou Ye, who is a mixed-race of Yingzhou and Xiazhou. He used to work in a well-known animation company in Yingzhou and has participated in the production of many well-known animations.
The situation when Zhou Ye was poached was like this.
Lin Qiu's father Lin Yuanping found Zhou Ye and explained his intention to poach him.
Zhou Ye snorted coldly: "The reason I devoted myself to animation is because I love this industry, and Rishengshe holds my ideal of making excellent animation."
"Ideals don't support me to do this kind of thing, you have chosen the wrong person."
Lin Yuanping had no choice but to talk about the high signing fee and the super high treatment of coming to Chang'an.
Zhou Ye snorted again, and then suddenly grinned:
"Hahaha! You are really good at judging people!"
It's really too much!
Poaching people at a high price, this is something that can't be helped.
As a team without any foundation and experience in animation production in Changan, it is impossible to recruit a truly elite team without high prices.
"I say, your animation production company in Xiazhou is too generous."
"It's just Changan's generosity!"
Just as the animation elites of the three states were bragging, the comic manuscripts from Changan Film and Television Company finally arrived at the animation department.
"Brothers, come to work!"
Zhou Ye clapped his hands and greeted everyone.
At work, it doesn't make much sense to talk about loyalty or disloyalty. Everyone is a worker.
Prove how much value you have, and the boss will give you money.
Since Changan has established an animation department, it must have ambitions and intentions!
"Two works."
"A short story with 12 episodes, and a medium-length annual series."
"Fuck! What kind of names are these?"
"We still don't know the name of the flower we saw that day?"
"Never seen it before."
"Let's take a look."
The animation department gathered in groups of three or five. The authors of the original works of these two animations are both honored online literary circles [Cement Sealed Heart].
Not to mention netizens, even they are very curious about what kind of work Lao Zei is.
It can make Changan spend so much money to make it.
…
As soon as he got the draft of "Anohana", Zhou Ye's expression was shocked!
"What level of painting is this?!"
Zhou Ye has worked in an animation company in Yingzhou for thirteen years and has met more than one top cartoonist.
I saw a lot of awesome original drawings.
But the old thief's drawing skills are not inferior to those of famous cartoonists in Yingzhou, and he has completely reached the master level.
"No wonder……"
Zhou Ye twisted his neck, and for just a moment, he felt that he didn't feel so guilty about jumping to Chang'an for money.
Now, they are the first group of guides for Xiazhou Animation in the new era, advancing on the road to the rise of Xiazhou Animation!
Suddenly it became bright!
"Meiko."
"hiss……"
"It's interesting."
Zhou Ye admired it carefully and found out that the heroine of "Unknown Flower Name" is called Meiko.
With silver-white hair, crystal clear white skin, and always barefoot, she is considered a petite and cute type.
The opening chapter of "The Unknown Flower's Name" tells the story of Meiko dying in an accident and turning into a ghost surrounding the male protagonist!
This kind of opening is rarely used in Yingzhou animation.
After all, Lao Thief is an author who became famous for his novels, and his control over the plot is quite stable.
This story tells the story of six good friends who used to play together as children. In order to see Meako who had become a ghost, they reunited and regained their friendship.
In the previous life, even the "Unknown Flower" was criticized by some strict audiences for the director's flaws in the storyboard.
But I have to admit that it is still an extremely delicate and touching story!
The Douban score is as high as 8.8, which moved countless comic fans to tears!
…
While another group was admiring the drawings of the first season of "Demon Slayer" and kept exclaiming, the "Unknown Flower Name" group fell into an immersive mood.
No one spoke.
In the last paragraph, when several friends finally found Meiko under the tree and said goodbye to Meiko who was about to leave the world, several female painters finally couldn't hold it any longer.
Her nose instantly became sore, and a female painter burst into tears uncontrollably.
You know, this is still not made into an anime, and there is no OST to render the emotions!
Compared with comics, the advantage of animation is that the visual storyline is more three-dimensional.
Being able to achieve this step based on the original comic and impress these production staff who are used to watching anime is enough to prove that the story of "Unknown Flower Name" itself is an extremely touching story!
"Whether this anime has a good OST or not is a completely different matter."
An experienced animation production staff member said affirmatively.
The so-called OST, simply explained, is the soundtrack. OST can combine the situation and plot to give the audience a better experience and promote emotions.
Whether it is a film, TV series or animation, the importance of soundtrack is self-evident, and the latter is even more important.
Because animation can drive the development of surrounding areas, the same goes for theme songs.
Each link has its own profit margin, which is very different from film and television dramas.
"Lin Qiu will be responsible for the OSTs of these two animations."
"Lin Qiu!"
"Oh my god, it's really a powerful alliance between the old thief and Lin Qiu!"
"I suddenly feel that Chang'an Animation is going to explode!"
"The beginning of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is so exciting! If this is produced, it must be a blockbuster anime!"
""The Name of a Flower" is even better!"
The entire animation department suddenly became excited and overflowing with enthusiasm in a short period of time!
Many people didn't have much hope for Chang'an Animation at the beginning, but the appearance of these two excellent original comics suddenly made them excited!
If it can produce ideal effects, it will definitely be a big step forward for Xiazhou Animation.
"Family members, this is really amazing! Do any of you know how tear-jerking "Unknown Flowers" is? It is indeed a Chang'an animation work!"
"I don't dare to watch any of Lin Qiu's movies, and the old thief's book is even more heart-wrenching. My best friend was tortured to the point of going crazy. If she insists on letting me watch it, I just won't watch it. I'm just looking for trouble."
Chang'an's works focus on one emotion!
The animation production process is quite complicated and cumbersome.
Especially in the mid-term production, most of the production staff will be involved, including modelers, animators, special effects artists, etc.
With Chang'an's current animation department staffing, it has the foundation to produce an excellent animation.
Coupled with the high production costs prepared by Changan, it can be said that it takes it very seriously.
"The Unknown Flower" has a total of twelve episodes. If the production goes well, it will be launched in a few months.
The company's requirement is to try to catch up before the end of summer. After all, "Unknown Flower Name" is an anime with a strong summer style.
According to Zhou Ye's current judgment, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is more difficult to produce and the cycle may take a little longer.
As for the specific launch time, we don’t know yet, but since Changan paid them wages, they will definitely produce satisfactory works.
"Brothers! Get ready to start work!"
"good!"
"Start construction! Can't wait!"
Do what you do and love what you do. Most of those who can enter the animation industry love animation.
What could be happier than being able to make money while pursuing your dreams?
…
Chang'an.
Music Department.
"Bah!"
"What song are you making again?"
As soon as Tang Anning entered the recording room of Chang'an Music Department, she could hear the sweet female voice.
"Anime theme song."
"The old thief's "Unheard Flower Name"."
Lin Qiu blinked at Tang Anning, which immediately made Tang Anning grit her teeth, "How dare you fool me!"
"How dare you fool me!"
Lin Qiu made a gesture of silence, changed the topic, and said:
"Shhh."
"Come and listen to the music."
"How's this song?"
Lin Qiu played the theme song "Secret Base~What You Give~" by Unknown Flower.
Suddenly, three two-dimensional sweet female voices echoed in the recording room.
"You can write such a song?"
"Okay, I'm already two-dimensional."
Lin Qiu shrugged and said.
This anime theme song was quite famous in its previous life, with more than 200,000 comments on music software alone.
Lin Qiu sighed in a cowardly manner: "I originally wanted to ask you to sing, but unfortunately, you are not suitable for this song."
"Um?"
"You can not."
"Um?"
"You're really bad, you're not sweet enough."
"Um?!"
Tang Anning refused to accept it, and her voice suddenly became sweet, "You can be sweet!"
Lin Qiu: "..."
There are a lot of OSTs needed in anime. The main purpose of recruiting Tang Anning this time is to record a few OST songs that are suitable for Tang Anning's voice in the anime.
"I don't want you to work in vain. I'll write you two more songs after my new movie is finished."
"It's a deal!"
"When will your movie be shot?"
"It will start in a week."
"Oh, what about your novel?"
"My novel..."
Lin Qiu subconsciously prepared to reply.
But as soon as he said it, he turned around and saw Tang Anning with a sly smile on his face.
"Pretend! Pretend again!"
"Record a song!"
…
The preparations for the movie "The Story of Hachiko" are basically completed, and the location is set in the north.
The actors' schedules have been adjusted and filming can begin at any time!
The actress who played Chen Daohua's wife, after Lin Qiu's consideration, finally chose Tang Jia, a middle-aged actress who had just signed a contract with Chang'an Film and Television Company!
Tang Jia knew that she was about to play a role with Chen Daohua. During this period, she was extremely nervous and was constantly adjusting her condition.
And "Pastoral Dog Actors" from all over the country have come to Yanjing one after another, preparing to follow the "Hachi Gong" crew on a journey that they may not even know what they are doing.
Again, during this time.
The plot of the second volume of "Lotus Lantern", "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long East", seems to have reached a new stage.
But unlike other novels, the climax and excessive plots rise and fall.
The plot of "Life and Hate and Water" is not the most sadistic, only more sadistic!
As the plot progresses, Yang Jian's experience is slowly made public.
The readers clearly feel that the knife inserted into their hearts is being inserted bit by bit by the old thief.
【I'm dying! I'm really going to die! 】
[Oh, I'm really used to it, old thief, just come! Isn't it just abuse? If you can make me cry, I'll count you as the winner. If you can't make me cry, don't blame me for mocking you! 】
【Yang Jian ah ah ah! Why! Why does the old thief treat Yang Jian like this! 】
[Brother, my heart has died a long time ago. Now this plot can no longer torture me. Anyway, Yang Jian is miserable, and he can torture the master endlessly! I've been tortured so much that I've become numb. 】
The readers' discussion is the true evaluation of this "Lotus Lamp".
Some readers can accept Yang Jian's unlimited abuse of the master, but some readers find it unacceptable, which is normal.
This type of style itself is not considered popular.
Lao Zei's style has always changed very quickly, from fairy tales to oriental fairy tales, to suspense, and then to mythology.
When readers read a sadistic novel for the first time, it still feels fresh.
…
[PS: There will be more chapters in the afternoon. 】
