A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

Hard work pays off, at least for the animation production company of Dimension Gate.

Double-playing two animations is a very hard thing, especially when one group of people is not very powerful, and the other group is responsible for wiping buttocks from time to time, it is even more difficult.However, the text script has been revised, and now it is scripted for its animation.Many things in the script can be seen to be too capable and simple, but once the storyboards and lines are completed, the supervisor can already know what the work is probably like by relying on the brain.

The first to third episodes are all scripts written by Shinichiro Watanabe himself, so no one is more proficient in rhythm control than him. After solving the problems of color matching and background, the production officially started.Li Wei and Shanne Gongli relied on the explosive liver to hang up, which is regarded as completing all the mechanical settings in the middle and early stages.

CB1 is a work that started in 1997, so some settings seem a little old today. Although this is a retro sci-fi style, it still needs to keep pace with the times. The existing high-tech has been deduced for 50 years, and a new CB world view mechanical setting has been made. Although it is full of black technology, it reveals a tattered and optimistic Western cowboy.

After the official production started, Li Wei's work began to decrease, but from time to time, he had to modify the mechanical settings according to the needs of the painting to make it look more reasonable.For those who do mechanical settings, many setters already have a high enough opinion on machinery before they enter the industry, and they were even related staff before, so they can set the kind of fake effect, which makes people feel that this is the case. Toys can definitely be made.A setter who can do this can proudly say that he is an industry leader.

Li Wei and Shangen Gongli have perfected the settings required for the first few episodes, and the rest will be done slowly later, and even after being able to be busy, it is not a problem to leave it to Shanne Gongri alone.Relying on the painting speed of a mad dog, the production progress of CB2 is terrifyingly fast, and now it is ready to invite voice actors for post-dubbing.

The animation production department of Dimension Gate has its own recording studio, and there are all kinds of strange things in it, which can simulate more than 85% of the sounds of nature, and achieve a considerable simulation.Because of the limited cost and the tight production time of ordinary animation, the sound effect is not paid much attention to, but Dimension Gate does not think so, or don't do it, do it best.

Generally speaking, many viewers do not pay attention to the quality of sound effects, but focus on the seiyuu. This is also the position where the producers intentionally highlight the seiyuu, in order to cover up the lack of various sound effects.Because the cost of simulating various sounds is very high, even more expensive than asking voice actors to dub.In order to save costs, the producer will naturally save money in this regard, so the sound effects of many animations are quite strange. If you listen carefully, you will find the sense of violation.It's just that under the cover of the character's dubbing and BGM, his own sense of existence has been weakened.

And Dimension Gate is not bad for money, isn't it just dubbing, directly sampling the real sound, especially the special effects sound of metal collision and explosion, Li Wei also spent a lot of money to restore it. Unlike other shoddy dubbing, CB2's dubbing is completely Doing it according to film-level standards, it must be done with high fidelity.

And just when the production progress of the first episode of CB2 was gratifying, Li Wei received a call and Jinchengzhai Qianye came back.Li Wei, who had no more important matters at hand, rushed back to Baiyingzhuang, and then saw Jinchengzhai Qianye looking tired.

Especially when he saw that the kimono that Jinchengzhai Qianye had replaced was still stained with blood clots that had already solidified, Li Wei frowned.Fortunately, Jinchengzhai Qianye was not injured, just simply tired.

"It seems that this journey is more complicated than I imagined, but I won't ask you what happened. Sister Chiba, you just need to know it yourself. If you want to say it, I can be an audience. ¨¨." Li Wei sighed.Although he was very curious about what happened to Qianye in Jinchengzhai, Li Wei still resisted the urge to find out the truth. Some things are likely to be dark history that others do not want to mention. If it is a passerby who does not know, Li Wei He could still watch the fun with a smile, but he couldn't watch Jinchengzhai Qianye so coldly.

"It's just saying goodbye to the past. From now on, how I want to live is my own business. Neon, in this country, sometimes there will always be some very unreasonable traditions and things that must be conservative. From there The people who came out didn’t want to go back, but some people’s thoughts were still stuck in the past era. Reasoning can’t make sense, so I can only do it.” Jinchengzhai Qianye smiled, with joy and relief in his smile, a kind of relief , which made Li Wei look a little envious.

"In my hometown, there is a very unreasonable rule, that is, someone must become a 'witch' and worship the village's shrine. However, I know that the so-called shrine is actually a slut cave, and a group of people is just in this name. It's just violence against women. Some guys put their ideas on Nimbus, I've never been so angry, I really wanted to kill people, so I did it." Jinchengzhai Qianye sighed.

"¨'You did it?" Li Wei was a little surprised. For the first time, Jinchengzhai Qianye exposed his darkest side naked.

"Of course, I found the list of victims and the registration form of the perpetrator in the village. Following this registration form, I killed one by one. Almost every man in the village died, and it was me who moved. Hand. This time, I have killed more than fifty people before and after, and this is the first time I am so angry."

"Are there many traditions like neon?" Li Wei not only sighed, although Jinchengzhai Qianye did not explain the so-called "witches" and "shrines" in detail, but Li Wei is not a fool, he has already made up his mind for the answer. It can only be said that these people (Wang Zhao's) were unlucky enough to provoke a ruthless person like Jinchengzhai Qianye, and their death was really unjust enough.

"Of course, the various ancient and unreasonable traditions of neon are still deeply rooted in many places. Although these darkness cannot be seen in the metropolis, it does not mean that they do not exist. The reason why I left my hometown, It's also because that place really disgusts me. That disgusting look, I don't want to be there for a second longer."

"Sister Qianye, are you sure you've done a clean finish? More than [-] people died. That's a big case. If you need to finish, I think I can help you." Li Wei sighed.

"It's not necessary. After all, this is what I made of trouble, and the ending is just basic skills, which is completely fine. But Li Weijun, you also hide a lot of secrets like me. You didn't explore me, so I have to respect you. I don't want to drag you into the water this time." Jinchengzhai Qianye laughed. .

Chapter 759. Dubbing work

"Why does this seem to be unfolding, has the neon been so messed up? Don't the locals care about this kind of thing?" Li Wei asked curiously, after all, there is so much peace in China, where can there be so many Messy things, although many cultural treasures were destroyed when the four olds were broken, more bad habits and bad customs were also destroyed.Chinese people only respect immortals and not ghosts and gods, and the spirit of seeking truth from facts is famous all over the world.

In contrast, the various cults and vigorous social groups in Neon are overwhelming, and their economy, society, and construction as a whole have been stagnant for nearly [-] years, giving Li Wei an old-fashioned Feel.Although it gives people a delicate feeling, Li Wei really found out after staying here for a while that the development of neon is really stagnant, which is completely different from the atmosphere in China.In this social environment, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have come out.

"Art comes from life and is higher than life, but I can tell you responsibly that those lifans have real prototypes. Without real prototypes, it is impossible to restore so many details. The reality is more than you think. Disgusting, not only the abuse of women, but also things like Zhongdao (special activities), I really want to vomit. How can a person be so disgusting, and sure enough, the neon can't be saved..." Jinchengzhai Qianye sighed, unable to speak for a long time. 010

"It's not that bad yet, after all, even if it's scum, it's only a minority." Li Wei thought to himself, isn't the aging village in Neon serious, how can there be so many messy things?

"Li Weijun, you don't know the repression in this country. It's a kind of repression that can drive people crazy. Many people usually talk and laugh, and then suddenly commit suicide. This is the characteristic of neon, don't underestimate the neon people. Vile and perverted..." Jinchengzhai Qianye sighed.

Jinchengzhai Qianye said that for this reason, and did not leave the last fig leaf for Neon, and Li Wei could only listen to it as a story.However, Li Wei was actually quite curious about the things Jinchengzhai Qianye said. After all, men are also curious, and this kind of content is slightly unsuitable for children.

"So, what are you going to do next, Sister Qianye? I don't see you working. Can you maintain your income and expenses just by relying on the rent?" Li Wei asked. He is still very concerned about Jinchengzhai Qianye. I have a good impression, I don't want to see her in an embarrassing situation.

"You don't have to worry about this Li Weijun. In Ye Xizi, I (cacf) have 'skills', but it's not the industry of Dimension Sect, so it's normal that you don't know Li Weijun. Strictly speaking, I can be regarded as reluctantly. A rich man." Jinchengzhai Qianye was very useful to Li Wei's concern.

That night, a group of people held a dinner party for Jinchengzhai Qianye, and Xiao Yuyun was the happiest, because she was able to eat a lot of delicious food. Although she is young now, her foodie attributes have begun to show.What Nimbus didn't know yet was how much risk her sister had taken for her, she could be said to have completely risked her life to kill those who attacked her.However, Jinchengzhai Qianye didn't say anything about it, and Li Wei didn't say it either, because this matter really ruined the three views.At least after Nimbus's three views have been cultivated, this extreme dark side of human nature can be made known to her.

Jinchengzhai Qianye is fine, Li Wei is relieved, and he can devote all his attention to the work he likes. Li Wei is not a workaholic, but making animation is itself to him. It is a super interesting thing, and interest is the best teacher, so Li Wei's lazy personality can insist on working more than four hours a day.

Hmm... The local tyrants in Saudi Arabia only work three hours a day. In this comparison, Li Wei is the same boss, and Li Wei is quite diligent.Sure enough, people need to compare to be able to show the difference.

The production of "Cowboy Bebop 2" was smooth sailing, which was different from "Lucky Star 2" next door, which was plagued by disasters, because a group of "industry giants" gathered here, and the hand-painting skills and drawing speed were quite terrifying. So the silent film of the first episode came out faster than Li Wei imagined.

Shinichiro Watanabe has practiced many shots in his mind, so there are very few places that need to be modified during production. Basically, it is a one-time clearance. Now it is necessary to perform special effects processing in the later stage, and at the same time, it is the dubbing work. . In order to maintain the "original taste" of "Cowboy Bebop 2", the voice actors are also the original cast, but the only difference is that the story does not follow the comics.

One of the protagonists, the villain Jett's voice actor Yunsheng Ishizuka is also considered an old man in the industry. His voice is strong and changeable, and he can interpret the characteristics of different characters by changing the tone. It is an indispensable green leaf in the industry.

Although he is not too famous himself, his dubbed characters have left a deep impression on the audience, such as Dr. Oki in "Pokemon", the protagonist of "Initial D", and the protagonist of "Initial D". The fighting maniac in "Kenichi Disciple", "Bear Daddy" Sergei Smirnov in "Gundam OO", Kizaru and Cyborg in "One Piece", "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" There are many uncle-type characters such as Joseph Joestar (two Joe, old rogue) in "Dragon Ball Super", Mr. Satan in "Dragon Ball Super".

It can be said that listening to Ishizuka Yunsheng's voice full of magnetism and power is a kind of enjoyment. This unremarkable old man has such a pleasant voice, which is really unscientific.

Generally speaking, in dubbing work, most of the time, the lines are read directly in front of the mirror. This is usually the case when the production team is in a hurry.However, the speed of the production team of "Cowboy Bebop 2" is really terrible. When the dubbing and special effects sound are synthesized, the dubbing staff can directly watch the samples to dub.

One advantage of this kind of dubbing while watching the demo is that it is more immersive. Li Wei listened to the live dubbing in the recording studio with headphones on. , and there are very few laughs, and it is stable like a machine.Ishizuka Yunsheng's dubbing is very distinctive, but it can be said that he has no characteristics at all, because his voice has changed too much, and he can change the vocal range according to the needs of different characters, so that people will not feel inconsistent.

Because it is a movie style, the rhythm of the sample is quite compact, and the lines are also very refined. If any sentence is not well said, it will affect the overall situation.Different from the general new show, because of the audience problem, "Cowboy Bebop 2" can't find that kind of embarrassing lines in the second style, because this is a sequel to all ages, especially in order to surpass the previous work in word of mouth, so All kinds of small clips that will affect the quality of the water and drag the rhythm will be deleted. Naturally, the second style cannot be touched. .

chapter 760. seiyuu dilemma

Although the samples for dubbing are only semi-finished products, the quality has surpassed all the new ones in this category.Even without post-production special effects, it can already be regarded as a finished product in the eyes of other animation companies, but Dimension Gate is not satisfied, or don't do it, do it best.

This is not a mere empty slogan, but a real practice of this standard, and Li Wei and Ye Xizi are actually full of malice, for this industry and all colleagues.

Li Wei and Ye Xizi are deliberately raising the benchmark of the industry, using a large number of high-quality products to continuously impact the entire industry, so that other animation manufacturers realize that if they fail to meet the industry standards, they are not only shameful, but also faced with being abandoned by the audience. Danger.

That's right, this is an alternative kind of maliciousness, giving the audience a feeling of "you can do so well by watching other people's animations made by Dimension Gate, why can't your animations?", forcing the entire industry to accelerate development, Both technically and philosophically, we must move forward.

Of course, this is not to say that a good animation must have a good picture. The picture has always served the content, but even the picture as a facade is not serious, and will it take the core seriously?There are very few excellent low-cost productions that can be worthy of the title of "miracle in the industry", and it may not even be possible to produce one in three years.

For the audience, they just simply want to see interesting animations, it's that simple.However, in many cases, the animation has had a bad impact on the original work, and it has even been ridiculed with the phrase "suffering animation", which is that the production company is too rude and vomited blood in the original work.The painting collapsed, the rhythm was chaotic, the dubbing was performed, and various dual-use cards were added to save money. Although the cost was reduced, the final quality also dropped again and again, especially when there were too many outsourced tasks. Make good work - it's really hard.

Many of Neon’s TV animations are outsourced to people from China and South Korea (the author is just learning related things in college, and has personally experienced animation outsourcing tasks from Japan). In this case, the first level of outsourcing will be The tasks in hand are subcontracted layer by layer, and many of the final producers are college students with related majors in school or some cheap third- and fourth-tier professionals. The quality of the recovered manuscripts is high.That's why saving money, saving money, and saving so many animations at the scene of a car accident.

"It's a great voice, and it feels like it fits the character perfectly."

"Eh?"
