Chapter 977: Song
Although "Shanna with the Eyes" is not a new work, in order to ensure its smooth production, Meng Huo stayed in Tokyo for the time being. Adapting from comics into animation cannot be achieved overnight, especially a new studio that has just been established, and the artists still need Meng Huo to get in touch.
He led Bai Yan to start the preparations for the animation of "Shanna with the Burning Eyes". This animation has some very distinctive elements, and Meng Huo wanted to tell Bai Yan and other members bit by bit.
At the same time, the animation script has to be rewritten. Meng Huo, as the supervisor, was responsible for the specific scripts, but she was not alone. She led more than a dozen employees of Feiniao Studio to decompose the comics that have been published in "Shaken Eyes Shana", separate the story of each single-line book into an animation with the appropriate number of episodes, and then more detailedly determine the structure of each episode.
This work is time-consuming, but compared to original animation, the adaptation is very simple. After being busy for four or five days, Lu Yanqiu finally moved the preliminary script results to Meng Huo. Meng Huo pulled Bai Yan and began to carefully review the scripts.
"Teacher He Xi, Director Bai, how about it?"
After about half an hour, both of them had almost seen it. Lu Yanqiu asked nervously.
"I think it's pretty good!" Bai Yan answered first. She has rich experience in the director and read the script very accurately. Although Lu Yanqiu's achievements have not yet reached the level of describing the plots of each episode in detail, the plot division between each episode is done well, and there is no problem with the overall structure.
Meng Huo checked more seriously. He knew "Shana with the Eyes" very well. He found some loopholes in Lu Yanqiu's achievements. After circled these loopholes in red pen and reminded the revision opinions, he gave Lu Yanqiu an answer.
"Adjust the small details, there is no problem. You can enrich the content of each episode according to this episode table."
The script outline decided this, and the rest was the details, which Lu Yanqiu and the others could naturally do well.
However, Meng Huo was still a little sorry for the first season of "Shana with the Shake Eyes" that originally had 24 episodes. However, due to the progress of the comics, the "Shana with the Shake Eyes" that is now to be produced has been determined to be 16 episodes, and the plot progress is greatly lagging behind.
In his previous life, "Shana with the Eyes" was broadcasted in three seasons in total. Each season has 24 episodes.
However, this world may be longer. According to the current progress, the animation version of "Shana with the Eyes" may eventually be made into five or six seasons. And if Meng Huo does not speed up the serialization of the comics, it will take several years for the animation of "Shana with the Eyes" to be produced in the next season, and it may even take more than a decade to complete-
It took more than ten years from the broadcast of the first season to the end of the last season. Thinking of this, Meng Huo suddenly felt extremely stressed, but sometimes he was helpless. He was not a three-headed and six-armed body, so he couldn't do anything at once.
"Let's see if you can move "Shana with the Eyes" to the weekly magazine in the future..."
Meng Huo couldn't help thinking that if he wanted to shorten the time issue of "Shanna with the Rain Eyes", he could only see if there was a chance to move its comics to comics weekly for serialization in the future. However, in this way, he might have to give up his plan to launch a new comic, which may not be so easy.
Because of too much work, Meng Huo is now slow to launch new comics. He has launched a comic almost a year, and he is getting further and further away from his identity as a simple "comic artist". Many readers have complaints in their hearts - Meng Huo launches new comics to balance his role every time.
Under such circumstances, if he does not publish new works but moves old works to magazines, it will inevitably arouse the indignation of some readers.
But on the other hand, compared to these indignations, perhaps "Shana with the Burning Eyes" is more important - Meng Huo carefully measured it and felt that he should indeed find an opportunity to move this comic to the magazine.
The animation may be the best time, but it depends on whether Meng Huo is free and whether he can find other assistants.
"Or might as well ask them to help!" Meng Huo thought of two female assistants who made animations in Asuki Studio. He might as well not think of any new comics, so he asked these two to help serialize "Shanna with the Burning Eyes".
He immediately asked about the two female assistants' wishes.
"Is "Shana with the Eyes"?"
"Of course it's no problem!"
The two female cartoonists agreed more simply than Meng Huo guessed. They were also a comic assistant to the same work while making animations. They were very happy to do this.
Meng Huo, who got the answer, immediately informed the editorial department of "Weekly Boys". "Shana with the Eyes" is a work between the boy comics and the girl comics. However, the last time Meng Huo placed the comics in the girl editorial department, he certainly had to balance this time.
Ye Xiong immediately responded after receiving the news. He didn't care at all about the loss of "Shanna with the Shocking Eyes" not a new comic.
"It doesn't matter, Shana's single-line book is very popular. The results after the serialization will not be much worse... But I hope that the comic series and animation release time can be consistent, so that the comic popularity can be increased."
The idea of this young man comic editor coincides with Meng Huo. Unlike "Detective Conan", there are still a few weeks before the release of "Shanna with the Eyes", so there are plenty of preparations for Meng Huo to prepare for serialization.
In this way, without any consideration in advance - Meng Huo determined the animation and comics of "Shana with the Eyes" in Tokyo.
Influenced by the comics, he stayed in Tokyo for a few days as preparations for serialized comics, and explained everything about "Shana with the Burning Eyes" to two female cartoonists, and trained them to become Shanatong.
It can be said that in these days, the two female cartoonists were the busiest people besides Meng Huo. In order to absorb Meng Huo's information, they worked overtime with Meng Huo until eleven or two every day, which was even harder than Lu Yanqiu, who was in charge of the script.
However, the busiest one is undoubtedly Meng Huo. His schedule is filled every day, and he has his share in almost all the work. He occasionally goes to see the situation of "Detective Conan".
In addition to these things, he has another more important task, which is to compose two action songs - whether it is "Detective Conan" or "Shana with the Eyes", there must be many new songs.
"Detective Conan" does not require much, but the animation has to change the opening and ending songs, and the original songs can no longer be used. "Shana with the Eyes" requires that all songs such as the opening and ending songs should be at least a dozen songs.
Writing songs is not difficult for Meng Huo. However, preparing so many songs in a hurry still made Bai Yan and the others feel nervous. The time is so short, can he finish writing it? Not to mention that he is busy in the studio all day long - how can he think about songs?
"Maybe "Shana with the Eyes" will have to be released later..."
Bai Yan was thinking like this. If Meng Huo could not write the song in time, maybe they could ask others to compose the song - no matter what, it would take several months for one person to prepare more than a dozen songs, right?
However, the studio costs a lot of money every month, and she doesn't have time to wait for a few months.
But Meng Huo certainly wouldn't let her wait for so long. When he was still in Tokyo, he first passed the opening and endings of "Detective Conan" to the office. After leaving Tokyo and returning to Su Hua, he wrote the song "Shana with the Eyes" within a few days.
The animation songs of "Shanna with the Eyes" are of high quality, and Meng Huo is also very careful about this. The opening and ending of the film are the best versions. The opening song of the first season is "Scarlet Sky" - a very famous song. Meng Huo remembers that it was very well-known in his previous life, and many people who have not watched the animation have also heard of this name.
Although the ending song "The Girl Wakes Up Before Dawn" is much less well-known, this song is more suitable for Meng Huo than "Scarlet Sky". Of course, this is just his personal taste.
In addition to the opening and ending of the film, the interlude of "Shanna with the Eyes" is also very important. In order to ensure there is no accident, Meng Huo put all the songs on the USB flash drive and brought them to the voice actor office and handed them to Shen Jie.
"The song of "Shanna with the Eyes"? Is it ready so soon?" Shen Jie was a little surprised when she took the USB flash drive. She knew that the animation had just decided to produce it, but she didn't expect Meng Huo to prepare the song so soon.
"You are so surprising every time!" But after the accident, Shen Jie remembered that Meng Huo's composing music was so fast before, so it could only be attributed to his talent.
"Then please, record these songs in two weeks, not more than three weeks." Meng Huo gave Shen Jie a time limit. It seems very short, but the current firm already has enough bands and resources to do this.
After Meng Huo left, Shen Jie immediately handed the U disk to her subordinates and asked them to record the songs into the office's database. She also printed out a copy. She was very interested in these new songs. As soon as the opening song "Scarlet Sky" was printed out, Shen Jie picked up the slightly hot paper and read it.
———
When the sky is dyed red
When you come again, I will walk forward bravely with this body
The "people" who pass by each other
Confused "things"
Will eventually fade into memories
The "strong" of heat and shock
...
———
The lyrics that swept through made Shen Jie lit up. After reading the comic "Shanna with the Burning Eyes", she could easily see that the lyrics of this song were tailor-made for the world view of "Shanna with the Burning Eyes".
"Although the lyrics are good, how about the music score?" Shen Jie looked at the music score. She hummed a few sentences in her heart and found that the tone was a bit high, but the tune was very beautiful, and there was a feeling that made people excited.
“This song is great!”
“So too!”
Just as Shen Jie was watching "Scarlet Sky", two female employees in her office also praised her with the printed scores. Chen Jie came to her senses and also looked at these scores. Each song was great.
"The songs of "Shana with the Eyes" are of great quality!" Chen Jie was shocked, but she was very excited: "I want to sing these songs. You can arrange the band for me and record the songs in two days!"
She picked up the music score and wanted to leave excitedly, but after taking two steps, she felt something was wrong again, so she turned around and asked, "You guys say, is it appropriate for me to take these songs away?"
"Of course, no one will compete with you!", "I think Chen Jie, you are the best singing!"
The two people in the office did not object, but Chen Jie frowned, but the more she thought about it, the more she became, the more inappropriate she became.
Her identity is different from the past. She is one of the supervisors of the voice actor firm. Although she can easily take away these songs - if she takes away the songs with her own identity, it will definitely cause bad responses in the voice actor group.
"This should be considered using power for personal gain..."
Chen Jie didn't want such rumors to arise. She looked at the music score reluctantly. Although she was a little reluctant, she still took the music score back and handed it to a female employee and said, "Print out these music scores and distribute them to other female voice actors!"
"Distribution?" The female employee looked shocked: "Do you want it?"
"You want - but it's not good to just take it away. You'd better distribute the music score and follow the usual procedures."
Chen Jie frowned and said that the usual process is to make the song publicly for the voice actors to fight for - now, in addition to some designated songs, Phoenix mainly relies on internal semi-public selection and competition to determine the belongings of the song.
After the firm obtains the copyright of a song, it will first assign it to the appropriate voice actors, and then record it separately without making it public. Finally, a team of musicians, agents and animation makers will review it to select the most suitable voice actors to sing.
The reviewers of this method include animation makers, and they also have the highest score. It can be said that it is the fairest screening method in the voice actor industry at present.
The animation creator of "Shanna with the Eyes" is Feinn Studio. Meng Huo rarely participated in the ratings in the past, so Chen Jie couldn't have any partiality - but she felt that she had a great advantage in the style of these songs.
The only problem is that the process of normal progress often takes a long time to screen songs, and may not keep up with the speed of animation production.
In order to solve this problem, Chen Jie ordered to shorten the recording time, and the recording of all songs must be completed within the next week, so that there is plenty of time left for the firm and Asuka Studio to screen - and there is not much time left for voice actors to practice singing, and each person can only choose a few songs.
Chen Jie has a natural advantage in practicing singing. She mastered a song one-third of that of ordinary voice actors. However, this time she did not capture all the songs in one go, but chose three songs as a breakthrough point.
