190 Everyone Loves Magical Girls
Hatsushi Wakao made a statement about his analysis of the animation market, and then said: "There are two enduring animation themes in Japan, namely robots and magic girls. A huge robot that can combine and transform and use super handsome ultimate skills is the favorite of boys. Waving a magic wand and wearing gorgeous dresses to defeat evil forces while talking about a prince and a princess is also the dream of many girls. Not only girls, but many boys grow up watching magic girls."
Xinfang Akira suddenly interrupted: "Especially in the Magic Girl animation, the transformation process of each episode, which is only a few dozen seconds long, is a female enlightenment for many boys."
As soon as he finished speaking, many men here, including Qin Han, showed subtle smiles of "I understand, I understand."
Qin Han would not say that his first second-dimensional wife was Huo Yeli in "Sailor Moon".
"Why don't we watch magic girl animations when we grow up?" Haruo Hiroshi asked a question and then gave the answer himself.
"Because, as we grow older, the plot content becomes younger, and the story mode is fixed, the magic girl animation can no longer satisfy us senior animation fans who have watched hundreds or even thousands of animations."
Qin Han cleared his throat and added: "I would like to ask, as an insider in the animation industry, whether such an impulse or idea arises in his mind: I am tired of these same magical girl animations on the market, and I want to participate in making a unique one!"
"Or, just from the standpoint of an ordinary animation audience, have you ever had the desire to watch a magical girl animation that is really fun and matches the taste of a senior animation home, rather than the play-offs Toei offers to children."
Everyone here looked at me, looked at you, nodded one after another, admitting that Qin Han had an idea.
The theme of Magic Girl is really too national in Japan. Animation ottomans have some feelings about it.
It has a broad mass base and a need to watch dramas for innovation and change. This is the confidence that "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" can be accepted by the audience of this era and sells it well.
After some discussion, the creators no longer have any questions about the prospects of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".
Next, we work together to create the animation.
This time Shaft is a 20-minute animation, a serious animation, not a instant noodle series. So even if the project is launched in April, it will probably not be released until October. And by then, the animation production will definitely not be completed, and it must be produced while playing.
They don't have much time to waste at all.
Now, the script of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" has been made and has been recognized by the main creators. Next, the story should be adapted into a twelve episode animation script.
Generally speaking, animation scripts will be completed by multiple scripters, one person is responsible for the animation of one episode or several episodes. Then the series is composed to coordinate the scripts of each episode and form a complete story. Be sure to achieve the beginning, inheritance, transformation and reshuffle of the story, and be smooth and exciting.
However, like the Qin and Han dynasties, when they are both the original work and are responsible for scripts for each episode of animation, there is no need for a series to form the adhesive position. Or in other words, he himself is the series structure.
However, Qin Han has not started writing the script of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". Fortunately, he is just a porter in this animation, and he only needs to restore the finished animation in his memory to a script. Even if there is a deviation in memory, he cannot completely restore the plot of the animation, and with his ability, he can complete it himself.
Qin Han has reached the level 10 of the skill of "screenwriter narrative" for the cartoonist profession. In terms of the ability to write stories, he is no weaker than the original author of another world "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", the love warrior Xuyuan.
Another key focus of the Qin and Han dynasties was character design.
The character setting work of animation and comics has many similarities and certain differences.
The biggest difference is that animations are movable, while comics are still.
Therefore, a key point that must be considered in animated character is how to design the character so that he can move, and when moving, he has charm.
Another factor that must be considered is the workload of animators and original artists.
If the designed characters make hair styles, clothing, weapons and props too complicated in order to pursue beauty, so that the workload of animators and original artists increases greatly, and even sacrifices the quality of the painting, which eventually leads to the collapse of the painting, it will be troublesome.
Although the original reference of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" in this world has another world's original works, Qin Han still decided to add some of his own improvements to make this classic Magic Girl animation achieve more brilliant achievements in this world.
"I already have the original character manuscript, but it will take some time to polish and modify it. Take it out in a week, right?" Qin Han asked.
"No problem! Anyway, there is still a lot of preliminary work to do in this project. Besides, I need to read your story several times to digest those wonderful plots!" As the supervisor of Xinfang Zhaozhi, the helmsman of this animation, naturally has the most say in the production progress.
"I can take the opportunity to urge the artists to complete other animation work this week. After that, I can devote myself to the production of "Magic Girl Koyuan"." Painting director Miyoko Kanazawa also nodded.
Character design and script, the entire animation project can only be officially launched after the two tasks in Qin Han’s hands are completed.
However, before this, some work could be carried out in advance.
Ruowei Hoshi ordered the audio supervisor, Hegang Yangichi, and said: "Hegang, the selection of voice actors, the selection of audio teams, and the production of background music and theme songs can be carried out in advance."
"I understand this." Hegangyang nodded, "Let's talk about the most important candidates for voice actors first. Should we use famous big-name voice actors, or are we strong backbone, or simply use pure newcomers?"
The idea of enabling the pure newcomer was first ruled out by Hiroshi Wakao.
If a large company uses well-known supervisors and screenwriters and has a high reputation, then it doesn’t matter if you use a pure new voice actor, but you can also get a good reputation to support the backwards.
But Shaft is a small company that has tried to independently produce animation for the first time. In the production team, except for Qin and Han, there is no reputation, and it is a matter of urgent needing selling points. Finding a few unknown new voice actors is simply seeking death.
