Chapter 380: "Detective Conan" Completed
Meng Huo is also in Tokyo, and he participated in several events celebrating the completion of "Gundam Ed", including a reader meeting in Tokyo.
The person in charge of the celebration website was Takako Takashima. The day after the animation was completed, she smiled and said to Meng Huo: "President, the post on the website with the highest voting is now with the help of your east wind. Should we take some measures... If this continues, you will become a thorn in the side of the Chinese music industry."
In just one night, Kako Takashima's posts voted more than 10,000, and became the first on the website. However, the reason was not how well she wrote it, but that she praised He Xi as the number one composer in the post and attracted a large number of readers' recognition. Takashima didn't know that the initiator of the post was her daughter, so her first idea at this time was whether to stop the spread of the post. After all, if such a topic rose, the music industry would have to be unhappy.
A cartoonist dares to be the number one in China? He Xi’s songs are indeed beautiful, but they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of traditional musicians.
"It doesn't matter." Meng Huo knew this, so he shook his head and said, "A reader's post is not too big, so musicians are not so narrow-minded."
If musicians get angry about this little thing, then the Chinese music industry is too narrow. And because of this kind of change in ranking, his readers will not be happy.
"How is the Blu-ray production? When will it be officially released?" Meng Huo asked again. Blu-ray is the highlight of "Gundam Colored Ed". After the animation is completed, there is no version that can be viewed freely on the Internet, so the audience can only watch other TV stations and purchase Blu-ray.
Although the premiere ended, "Gundam Ed" has a carousel on other TV stations. As a popular animation, there are many TV stations that purchase the right to play. The sales of Blu-ray discs are also favored by the market. "Gundam Ed" is an animation with excellent pictures and music, and audio and video stores everywhere are happy to purchase.
"I'm already designing the packaging and it can be made this week." Takako Takashima answered Meng Huo's question, and she said: "However, due to some questions from the channel dealer, the release time of Blu-ray disc is scheduled to be around mid-to-late June."
This is the first time that Phoenix Company sells video discs. The channels are unfamiliar and it takes a long time.
"Late June, one month..."
Meng Huo is very satisfied with this time. Tokyo’s Sakura Animation business is busy, and it is already quite good to be able to do it in a month.
"But the president." Takako Takashima frowned slightly and said, "When Blu-ray is on sale, we have several events to be held. Are those girls okay?"
The girl she mentioned is several singers of "Gundam Ed". An important event when the animation bad was released was to hold singer concerts at the same time in three regions, which is also an event to further increase the popularity of the three people in Xiachuan.
"No problem." Meng Huo nodded. Xia Chuanzhen and Long Xue only had one sentence, and he also called Shen Jie.
This year, the college entrance examination in China is July, and the end of June is the most critical preparation period. But Shen Jie still agreed to this event. Meng Huo specially arranged her in Ninghai, but it actually didn't take up a long time. Xia Chuan Zhen was going to return to Tokyo to perform, and Long Xue's stage was arranged in Suhua City.
The arrangements for "Gundam Ed" have been confirmed. Meng Huo looked at the time and stood up and said, "After the packaging of the Blu-ray disc is confirmed, you can take it to me and you don't have to report to me any other trivial matters... I don't have much time now."
He was busy directing the animation production of "Detective Conan". Although the animation was supported by the original work, Meng Huo found that the style of the works produced was a bit distorted. Perhaps it was because the painters had been painting "Gundam Colored" for a long time and could not transfer it for a while. There was some idol style and Gundam style in the details of "Detective Conan"... it was hard to describe, but it just felt a bit strange.
Meng Huo has been revising details a while ago. Now is an important moment. He wants to change the styles of these painters in one breath before "Detective Conan" is broadcast.
When I arrived at the animation production department, before Meng Huo could enter, Mr. Tomato ran out.
"Teacher, Teacher He Xi, the voice actor firm has sent the dubbing. Can we use it directly??" He said excitedly. Tomato has been addicted to being the "boss" recently. As an assistant to "Detective Conan", almost all painters have to humbly ask him for advice.
"Rejected." But Meng Huo said coldly for Tomatoes: "Those dubbings are the dubbing versions you made. I have to modify the details here, and only after the dubbing can I put it on."
"Detective Conan" has actually been done. What is now doing is fine adjustment. Meng Huo is strict in his requirements. He wants to adjust the dubbing after adjusting the animation.
"Teacher He Xi, your requirements are too strict..." After Meng Huo interrupted Tomato's enthusiasm and walked into the animation department, another artist said frustrated: "The picture cannot be too bright, the scene cannot be too bloody... Is it necessary to be so strict?"
Meng Huo's requirements are outrageous, especially for murder scenes, which cannot be bloody and reflect suspense, which makes the painters who have turned from Gundam very uncomfortable. These people are used to painting large scenes, war and weapons, and they are very uncomfortable when they are transferred to murders in daily life.
"Don't complain, the scenes of "Gundam Ed" are not bloody, you can do it." Meng Huo encouraged lightly: "It's not good for children to watch. Some scenes are too bright and will reduce the suspense of the animation. In fact, they are all very simple. You are just not used to it for a while. There are still several days before the animation is released. If you have enough time, you should be confident."
Of course, this confidence is the confidence to work overtime. Meng Huo did not let these painters take a vacation. After a few days of adjustments and then made minor modifications to the characters' lines, "Detective Conan" finally completed the final version three days before the official serialization.
That night, Meng Huo invited Takashima and his wife and other employees of Sakura Company to conduct a closed and confidential trial of the "Detective Conan" animation. After the trial, their feedback and evaluation were very good, which made Meng Huo feel satisfied.
"You can have a few days off."
Amid his announcement, the people in the animation department of Sakura Company breathed a sigh of relief and cheered. The high-intensity overtime work lasted for a month, and this holiday was an important proof of the results. "Detective Conan" was successfully completed and the premiere was scheduled to be Saturday, May 27th.
Chapter completed!
