A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

Seeing Li Wei's arrival, Liu Shengyan, who was still in the state of salted fish, immediately revived with blood on the spot, pretending to be working hard, but being looked at by Li Wei's dead fish eyes, Liu Shengyan was embarrassed. installed.And hearing Li Wei's words, Kojima Wentai put the script that had been sorted out in front of Li Wei.

Thinking so fast, it shouldn't be the first draft of the rush, Li Wei began to read the copy.The first season of Lucky Star was produced by Kyoto Animation, but Kyoto Animation is in a bit of an embarrassing situation because of the failure of the subsequent animations. In addition, there are other things to do in hand, so under the silver bullet offensive of Ye Xizi Give in, after all, Kyoto Animation also needs cash flow.The original Meishuijing has not had any outstanding works in the past few years. Although it is not a paycheck, it is not very good, so the issue of copyright has also succumbed to the silver bullet offensive.

 …  

Although Meishuijing mainly draws illustrations, because of his personal style of painting, the business he can receive is not too much. Therefore, compared with other best-selling authors, Meishuijing is a beautiful appearance. Others Thought he made a lot of money, but in fact life is still the same.Therefore, he agrees with both hands for the animation of Lucky Star, because Ye Xizi is different from other investors and is willing to pay for good original works, so Mei Shui Jing has obtained a sum of money that is enough for him to feel comfortable for a while, and There are also some welfare benefits from the Dimension Gate Publishing Club, so that Mei Shui Jing can move his works here.

None of these Li Wei cares very much. The point is that he has to create interesting stories.

Looking at the copy, Li Wei sighed.Li Wei's sigh made everyone in the office mention their throats. If Li Wei, the big boss, said "No", they would be miserable.

"The script is not bad, but it's only good, and some areas in the middle need to be strengthened. To be honest, this script lacks laughs, and the story and laughs are too loose as a whole. If there is no first season, then It's a good script, it's easy and fun, but the first season's pearls are ahead, so you are likely to break the brand. Originally, the second season of Lucky Star had an element of selling feelings, and only if BD and its peripherals can recover the cost There can be a next season, if this script is not changed, this will be the last season." Li Wei sighed. .

chapter 756. your script, naive

"You can ask the original teacher Meishui Jing to participate in the production of the script. Money is not a problem. What we want to do is interesting stories, not just selling feelings. We have our own peripheral manufacturers, and the pressure to recover costs is higher than that of other animations. The company is much smaller, so you all cheer me up, if I don't do well, it's about the year-end bonus..."

"Yes! Understood!" Several scripters who were sweating profusely said loudly with their bodies straight.

"Take it easy, I don't have so many rules here, everyone just needs to do things well." Li Wei asked everyone to sit down.

Neon's company culture is very bad. It can be said that it is a typical overtime culture. Not only is it inefficient, but also employees are under great pressure.Li Wei is different from Ye Xizi's Dimension Gate Group. The subordinate enterprises are highly autonomous and highly unified. They cooperate closely with each other, and the internal atmosphere is not as strict as other neon enterprises. A relatively relaxed atmosphere.This kind of internal atmosphere similar to that of European and American companies also allows employees to maintain a high degree of loyalty, because compared to other companies, the internal environment of Dimension Gate is simply heaven. Influence others without breaking the law.

The people sitting here do not want to lose their jobs. Not only are the wages at the top level in the industry, but the working environment is also more relaxed and good.

"In general, the script is too mature, and there is no feeling of disconnection and radio waves. After all, Quan Jifang's character is detached and a little nonsensical. The Quan Jifang in the script is not my impression at all. The funny 'big cute god here', the audience will be disappointed." Li Wei sighed.

Quan Jifang's popularity in Europe, America and China is not bad. Although the first season of "Lucky Star" is an old fan in 2007, the strong house taste of Quan Jifang is still unforgettable by many people. Although the phrase "poor breasts are a rare resource" did not appear in Lucky Star at the earliest, it was Lucky Star who carried this phrase forward, which shows how entangled and concerned the audience is for this mixed-reputation anime.

Lucky Star is also a variety of crazy jokes, using the protagonist Fang Dameng to ridicule the entire animation industry, that cynical attitude is indeed a true portrayal of many otakus, and the side reflects that even if it is a otaku, life can be Colorful.

"It feels like a bunch of us, if we are doing all kinds of serious anime, it's fine, but this kind of radio-based work is really a bit difficult. This script has already drained everyone's humorous cells, I I never thought it would be so hard to make a light-hearted work." Kojima Wentai said helplessly.

Kojima Wentai is a script and screenwriter who is very good at telling stories. It can be said that he is the kind of genius who can control all kinds of huge world views. If he was born 30 years earlier, he would definitely be a great god.However, now is the era of waste Meng, and his hard-line style has been a little out of date, or most of the neon otaku just want to watch some light-hearted dramas. The residual style has not been loved by the audience.

If he hadn't followed Li Wei, Kojima Wentai would only be even more aggrieved now, acting as a cutie that he didn't like, and honing his qualifications little by little.

Kojima Wentai's strength, how should I put it, if "Gundam - Jagged Orphans" is handed over to him for scripting, then the plot of Jagged Orphans will definitely not be broken into pieces like Gang Ma's hands and smashed the signboards, or even the opposite. Come here to save the IP of Gundam, but unfortunately, Kojima Wentai was still sinking. Neon's unique predecessor culture made Kojima Wentai, who could not get good grades, only to slowly endure.

Here I would like to talk about the ending of the iron-blooded orphans' final feeding. Although the ending of the iron-blooded orphans in China and Europe and the United States made all the fans of the united front frantically spray Gangma, but in Neon, the storm caused by Gangma's script was not so much. Big, at least not as big as in foreign countries.Because Neon is a traditional and conservative country, its development is not like that of other countries through violent revolution, but the Meiji Restoration, which is similar to the Glorious Revolution of Ying, has developed little by little, so Neon people do not recognize revolution. In fact, they like to live by the emperor.

Therefore, if the eldest Miss and McGillis in the Jagged Orphans can succeed in their revolution, that would be the biggest political inaccuracy, and their buttocks would be crooked.In order to be politically correct, the protagonist and his party must lose, and they must lose badly. Both the No. 0 and No. [-] protagonists must die, and the revolutionary leader must also die. The neon people are famous all over the world for their morbid and conservative Yes, if the revolution succeeds, the problems caused by this animation will only get worse.So Gang Ma will give a shit-feeding ending that the revolution failed, which is very reasonable for Neon people, and it is unexpected and reasonable.And those who dare to refute are those who have a crooked buttocks or a secondary disease, and will be criticized by mainstream people.

Of course, comic fans in other countries will not buy into the various wonderful developments in the second season, but Bandai is just selling glue, even if "Gundam - Iron-Blooded Orphans" is really an orphan, he also has "Gundam UC" "Well, the sales of the unicorn (money cheating beast/color-changing beast) gunpla is enough to save the orphan from the loss.

It is impossible for the Dimension Gate Club to accept Bandai's list, because Gundam is the IP of Bandai's family. No matter how well the Dimension Gate does animation, it is also a wedding dress for Bandai.Now Dimension Gate is holding the IP of EVE. Of course, it is developing its own IP and using its own technology to squeeze its maximum value out. EVE's worldview is larger than Gundam, and history is always calculated in thousand years. Although it is not as exaggerated as Warhammer 40K, it has much more value to develop.

Kojima Wentai is the person in charge of this. This time, he was "caught" to do the animation of Lucky Star because of lack of manpower, so it is normal to have this kind of "acclimatization".In other words, Li Wei was a little surprised that he was able to hand over such an answer sheet.The script of the first two episodes of Lucky Star Season 5.4 [-] was independently completed by Kojima Wentai, and it is also one of the most brilliant episodes in the existing script.

"I think this situation will change after Mr. Meishuijing joins. He doesn't need to do other work, he just needs to provide enough jokes. That's what the stalker is best at." Li Wei laughed.Due to the schedule, Lucky Star is not in a hurry, coupled with a reliable artist team and special effects department, although Lucky Star cannot surpass CB2, its pictures will still be more beautiful than the current mainstream dramas, and this will take time.

The production of Lucky Star, even if you want to rush, can't be rushed. Now the staff of the department has just been strengthened, and it will take some time for the technology to "complete", so the progress of CB2 will be faster than that of Lucky Star. .

chapter 757

Two days later, Li Wei did not stay at home, but honestly stayed in the club to work.

"Shangen, how about this line draft? I don't care about the perspective drawing, let's see the effect first." Li Wei asked Shangen Gongli, who was drawing at the desk, to come over.

Shanne Gongli raised his head, looked at the sketches on Li Wei's computer, and said, "It can be a little more concise. If it is retro, you can properly converge the lines and use more rounded lines. Although you learn BOSS very quickly, you can The style is still a little stronger, and the individual and the whole are a little out of harmony.”

Yamane Kouri looked at the sketches on the computer and continued to draw his own drafts. Unlike Li Wei, who likes to use PS to draw, when drafting, Yamane Kouri prefers to draw on paper, and then use a scanner to copy it into the computer.It's not that I don't know how to use drawing software, it's just a simple personal habit. In terms of design level, Li Wei and Yamane Gongli have their own characteristics. However, because CB2 continues the style of CB1, the main style is still dominated by Yamane Gongli. control.

But since it is 2, then it is natural to improve it more than 1. It is not a good thing to simply sell feelings.Now the publicity of CB2 has attracted the attention of more than 20 people, especially the fans in Europe and the United States are waiting for this tough guy film full of John Woo-style man romance.Li Wei knows that his CB2 wants to really become popular, and it is not enough to rely on quality alone. A certain degree of hype can make the work even more popular.

As long as the quality of the work can be guaranteed, then a little speculation is no problem, at least not to learn the "Lei Feng's Story" that cost 2100 million soft sister coins to make (readers can Baidu by themselves), speculation also needs its own You have to have hard power. Frying is just a simple act of death. CB1 is a rare classic, so the Navy linked CB2 and CB1, and constantly used the classic and success of CB1 to induce more people to pay attention to CB2.

Cowboy Bebop itself is a work suitable for all ages. It doesn't have the stinky smell of the house that comes from the mainstream neon anime. The audience is the male group from 18 to 60 years old. As long as there is a little blood in the heart, and So bloody, then this kind of pure manly violent aesthetics can resonate with people.The more experienced people are, the more they can feel the charm. After all, although Shinichiro Watanabe, the supervisor of CB, is known as the neon Wong Kar-wai, his style is quite Woo-woo-style.

Because CB1's pearls are in the front, it still attracts the attention of some people. Although it is not as hot as various phenomenon-level dramas, Li Wei has no doubts about the explosive power of the CB series.The PV has not been announced yet, but the popularity has been fired up. Next, some news will be released from time to time for fishing, so that the popularity can be maintained like this.It is said that Watanabe Shinichiro also met nobles like Li Wei and Ye Xizi, so he was able to burn money to make animations for him, and change investors, how can there be such a treatment.In fact, because of the excellent level of production staff and faster speed than their peers, CB2's single-episode production costs are not as exaggerated as publicity, but in order to hype, Li Wei and Ye Xizi directly reported a relatively inflated number to use Prove that you are serious.

In contrast, although Lucky Star's publicity is more diligent, the only people who are really excited are the neon dead houses. Whether it is China or Europe and the United States, it is lukewarm, but the big explosion of the picture quality of Lucky Star 2 is estimated to make Many people dropped their jaws in shock. Although the picture is relatively simple compared to CB2, it can still beat most of the new shows.

Li Wei leaned on the back of his chair and looked at his revised draft. I have to say that CB1's sci-fi retro style is indeed quite difficult to do. They are all used to this kind of modification and modification. His hands are fast, so modification does not take much time.

"I feel that the spaceship is actually a good design, and all kinds of space buildings are the most troublesome, especially space nightclubs and space casinos... I have a headache now with the internal structure..." Li Wei sighed, and he picked it up without the habit of smoking The Coke on the side took a hard sip.Science fiction is not like magic. Science fiction is based on the prospect of the future based on existing technology, and everything must be based on a general rationality. Magic-style works are not so restrained, and it is not a problem to do whatever you want.Therefore, the mechanical setting of sci-fi is not something that all cats and dogs can do. There are not many people who do mechanical settings in the circle, and only a few are famous. There are only a few people going back and forth in one column.To put it bluntly, this job is too difficult, and the benefits are generally not high. It is the men who can survive and survive.

"Habits come naturally, BOSS. I'm almost tortured to lose my hair. It's so hard to set up mechanical settings, but I've already entered this industry, and it's too late to quit, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward." Yamane Gongri sighed.

Shangen Gongli is a very ordinary uncle, with a slightly fat and medium build, a round face with a good face and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looks a bit elegant, but as he said, his hair looks a little thin and voluminous. less than normal.

"After entering the dimension gate, life will get better. You should solve the settings first. There is still a week left to finalize the draft. I have a headache." Li Wei rubbed his forehead and said distressedly.

Yamane Gongli is now a member of the Dimension Gate animation production company. He has a fixed salary every month. If he does his own works, he can get a good share and bonus.And Li Wei doesn't mind Shangen Gongli going out to take private work, as long as he can complete his tasks on time.After all, Shane Gongli's talent doesn't need to tie him up, he will handle these problems by himself.

"I don't have enough time, can the finalization time be delayed? Boss, there are only two of us here..." Shangen 180 Gongli looked at Li Wei with a bitter expression.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm helpless, I'm not as busy as you are."

If a cute girl looked at Li Wei like this, it would be a little bit more ornamental, but such a big man who was over fifty looked at him like this, Li Wei's eggs hurt.

However, as hard as Li Wei, there is the Lucky Star production team next door. Due to the lack of manpower, the people in the Lucky Star production team are now in a state of "exploding liver", and all kinds of preliminary preparations alone make the production insufficient. A group of chickens flying and dogs jumping, one person can't wait to break it into two people.If it weren't for the support from the CB production team from time to time, this group of "newcomers" would probably screw things up.

The difference between these "newcomers" and the old is efficiency. The old people only need half an hour to draw the same picture, while the newcomers take [-] minutes to an hour, and they are not guaranteed to pass the trial once. Even if the speed of the lucky star is not in a hurry, you have to scratch your head.At present, the buff that Li Wei has blessed has not been completely completed. Although the newcomers are growing rapidly, they have not yet reached the level of Dacheng, so it is not incomprehensible that the progress is slow.Judging from their desperate attitude, Li Wei would not pour cold water.

However, the newcomers here are only relatively new. If this level is placed in other companies, they can be regarded as good main personnel. .
