Chapter 778: Never thought of it
The popularity voting is in full swing, and Meng Huo also started the animation production of "Clannad".
The animation production location is Su Hua. In addition to Qinglong Studio, Angel also brought the number of people from the two studios in two days. Although they only stayed in Su Hua for a few weeks, it was difficult to call on painters to come, and the efficiency was already quite fast.
Meng Huo also quickly retrieved some painters from Phoenix Company and formed another studio. In fact, today, the number of painters and cartoonists in Phoenix Company is no longer much smaller than that of Zhongxia Company, but Zhongxia Company has a considerable number of animation studios, and this time the employees have also been drawn from different animation studios.
For Zhongxia, the animation adaptation of "Clannad" this time is quite simple. They only need to cancel two works from a large number of animations originally planned to be produced and bring the excess painters to make "Clannad".
This method is equivalent to one for one, but the value of "clannad" is obviously much higher than other animations.
The number of animation studios in Phoenix Company is limited, and there are only three at present. Before the expansion, it was very troublesome for Meng Huo to open a new animation. This time, he also selected people from the three animation departments without hindering the original animation serialization and then gathered a studio.
Some cartoonists and assistants were also drawn, and even Qin Ya's three new assistants were no exception. When Meng Huo asked them if they were interested in "Clannad", the three assistants were happy to have an extra job.
Of course, this will have a certain impact on Qin Ya's comics. Meng Huo put the comics work of "The Soul of Chess" and "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" at night. For some time in the future, they may have to draw at night.
However, although time hastily, the animation production of "clannad" is even smoother than expected.
"This is the first time I have made such a simple animation." Jiang Tianshi sighed more than once. It is also an adapted animation. "Clannad" is undoubtedly the simplest animation that he has encountered since his career.
On the first day of the animation construction, we originally had to organize the plot of the entire animation and divide it into an episode of animation. This work was originally quite troublesome, but they finally discussed it in less than half a day - because the game plot was placed on the animation, and the rhythm was unexpectedly appropriate.
Later they found that the opening song of the animation did not need to be adapted, and the direct use of the opening song of the game could make the audience more happy. Meng Huo had very high requirements for picture quality when he was making the game. The opening song of "Clannad" will not be blurred at all when it was directly moved to the TV screen.
With high picture quality, not only the opening song, but also many scenes of the animation can be directly used as the basis for game scenes, and adapting them is simply easy.
"This is like copying compositions by elementary school students..."
Qin Ya even commented like this, however, the animation of "clannad" has a key difference between the game. The animation is "moving", while most scenes of the game are "quiet". The metaphor of copying essays is obviously wrong.
But although it is not said to copy essays, it is true that "copy the skeleton" and "copy the outline" are all correct, and there are various very detailed and complete settings. The animation of "clannad" is the best animation for all painters - except for the picture.
The biggest problem they encountered was the picture, with ready-made picture imitations. But "Clannad" is a gorgeous work, and its strict picture requirements made many people feel tremendous pressure.
Meng Huo, Qin Ya, Angel, and some outstanding painters are very good at it, but there are still many people in the studio who lack abilities and need help.
So after the animation starts, there will be very spectacular scenes in Qinglong Studio almost every day. All the artists gather in the studio and are divided into more than twenty tables. Each table surrounds painters ranging from 20 to 40, and even the aisle is difficult to walk.
China has entered autumn, but in this studio, it is like summer all day long, and the air conditioner can’t solve the problem.
In desperation, Meng Huo and his team quickly rented another place nearby, scattering the abortion, although it was still very crowded. However, the members of the four studios were divided into two places, which made Meng Huo embarrassed.
These people are all staff who come to produce "Clannad", and it is even more difficult to control after being dispersed.
For this reason, Meng Huo positioned these two places. Qinglong Studio is the studio that produces "Clannad", while the other studio is a place where setting research and painting skills are integrated. He will not participate in animation production for the time being.
In this way, it is equivalent to having two studios making animations for "Clannad". However, the early plot of the animation is the same, and the speed provided by the two studios is already quite efficient, which is in line with Meng Huo's initial plan.
Of course, the flow of people between the two places will be constantly flowing. The best way to train is to create animations. Meng Huo wants to let everyone participate in animation production through the flow of people. Painters with low abilities can practice first and then help.
Meng Huo handed over the place where he practiced painting skills to Qin Ya. Qin Ya was his most skilled animation assistant. Knowing his requirements for the picture, she was also the best "teaching viewing". The animation production centered on Meng Huo and Angels.
Angels have excellent painting skills. When they first came to Su Hua, they were like Meng Huo showing his painting skills in "Clannad". Meng Huo did not find any points that needed guidance. Therefore, he regarded Angel as the core of animation production, and other painters had to act around them. Those who did not have the picture quality were not up to date.
In this way, the animation of "Clannad" embarked on the road of quality that Meng Huo was satisfied with. The Angel had to leave Su Hua for a few weeks after working with him, but it didn't matter. Meng Huo believed that under their control, the other two studios would maintain the animation quality.
Moreover, the strength of the angel was proven again in "Clannad". Meng Huo thought that he would have to stay in Qinglong Studio every day since the animation production began, and would have time to withdraw after the painters gradually stabilized - but he found that he didn't need to wait anymore.
The adaptation of "Clannad" is not difficult for Angels at all. In fact, in the animation production project, Meng Huo will find that there are only some small problems that require them, and Angels can lead the team to solve most of the problems.
Take the first episode as an example. Although Meng Huo has been participating and supervising it, after making this episode, he found that he could actually hand over the things to the angels with greater confidence. He only spent half a day to correct some mistakes before the animation was completed. The animation of "Clannad" can be done very well.
This means that he only needs to make simple corrections and doesn't have to stay here every day.
The first episode of "Clannad" was completed the production the day before the end of the popularity voting, and it was the finished product, and even the dubbing was completely ready. Meng Huo and the artists watched this episode of the animation together and were very satisfied with it.
"It's incredible! It's made at this speed, and we can complete five episodes before the animation is aired!"
Jiang Tianshi was quite excited. He overestimated the difficulty of producing "Clannad" in advance. In fact, the painters basically don't have to discuss the plot and the setting, and they can start working as soon as they start working.
"Well..." Meng Huo fell into silence. He was very satisfied with the animation of "Clannad". The strength of the angels also impressed him. He even felt that it was okay to let the angels return to Ninghai to work independently now.
But if you think about it carefully, it is still not realistic. The artists have not completed the running-in yet. The current working mode is actually only half of the people. If the angel takes away two studios, those two studios may not be able to maintain the quality of the animation.
The painters will need some time to train and get in, but the angels can already make their debut.
"Starting next week, I will work here for half an hour every day." Meng Huo made the decision. With an angel here, he doesn't need to stare day and night like a nanny. As long as he maintains supervision of the quality of animation, it doesn't take a long time to correct mistakes.
Obviously, the "clannad" animation puts much less pressure on daily work than he thought.
"Now there is only the animation route left..." Meng Huo thought about the popular vote that will be released tomorrow, but what he never expected was that the result of this popular vote was so weird - the number one person was Qin Mei.
In the popular vote of He Xizhi Home Forum, the popularity of the heroine of "Clannad" is from top to bottom: Kotomi, Nagisa, Tomoeyo, Apricot, and Fengko...
"This..." When Meng Huo first saw this vote, his first feeling was that it was "impossible". How could Qinmei be the first popular heroine?
Among all the heroines in "Clannad", although Koinmi is not the worst, the proportion of players who like her has never been particularly large. Meng Huo has long been confident about the heroine of "Clannad". Although it cannot be said that it must be correct, it also conforms to the views of other experts and media.
All along, from various data, the most popular actress in "Clannad" is Nagisa, the second-ranked female lead is Tomoeyo. The popularity of other characters is not much different, but there is a considerable gap with these two.
Therefore, before the vote, Meng Huo and Angel knew in their hearts that their competition would be fairer. Nagisa and Tomoeyo are two popular protagonists, and both sides will get one. Nagisa is more popular than Tomoeyo, but her charm can only be expressed in afterstory. The charm of the first part of the animation is not as good as Tomoeyo.
Therefore, these two characters are produced separately, and the two sides do not distinguish between the winners and the losers. No matter what role they are, they will not affect the overall situation.
