Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 158 "Midnight Ring" production team (4000 words)

"If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me and Toda. It's not that we are the two of you. It's just that we have more experience than you, Brother Dongye."

Daohong Motohashi said to Higashino Division with a smile.

The other party's storyboard picture books are indeed very good, but the composition is still a bit rigid. It can be seen that the other party should have learned it from the textbooks in those storyboard picture books.

But this will inevitably bring a little rigidity from the textbooks, and experienced animation scripters will be more natural.

Toda Shimitsu, who was next to him, nodded in approval after hearing Motohashi's statement: "You can ask us any questions that cannot be solved."

With the overall outline of the animation script, the next step is to polish the script.

After all, all the work in the early stage must be done around the finished animation script of Higashinoji. Of course, they hope that the final finished product of the script will be better.

As for their argument, Higashino Division did not refuse - the other party did not intervene in his script creation, but only said to help, which can be said to have given enough face.

Higashino naturally agreed.

He discussed the script of "Midnight Ring" with Toda Zhiguang and Motohashi Daohong for a while.

It has to be said that Toda Shimitsu and Motohashi Daohiro are really talented and learned. They pointed out several problems in Higashino's script, and they also focused on analyzing how to solve these problems for Higashino.

It seems that some places are stiff, so they suggested Higashino to watch some well-made animation movies and see how those famous supervisors use the camera to connect.

This discussion lasted for an hour, Higashino thanked him, and left Capital Animation Production Company together with Hosokawa Koharu.

As for Toda Shimitsu and Motohashi Daohong?

Daohong Motohashi will go to pull up the production team of "Midnight Ring" in the future, and he needs to make a list, and Shimitsu Toda needs to confirm the candidates and financial issues listed on the list of Daohong Motohashi. I really want to talk about it here For the time being, it is easier for Higashino to modify the script.

"The Higashino people are not bad." Motohashi Daohong remembered Higashino just now, and said with a smile to Toda Shimitsu beside him.

"Well, he's a pretty good young man." Toda Shiguang nodded.

The attitude of the other party is very good, and there is no impetuous feeling of young people in what they say or do.

The two of them were in the industry, and they actually knew a lot of young people with impetuous mentality. Those people couldn't wait to make an animation movie in two or three months, creating a so-called 'industry miracle'.

Motohashi Nobuhiro and Toda Shiguang have scolded this young man who thinks he is the "light of the industry" countless times.

But Higashinoji is different. Although the other party is a well-known manga author and designer of Kumamon, he does not feel the slightest sense of impetuousness from him, and is very down-to-earth.

"Let's see to what extent Higashino can modify the animation script."

Director Hiroshi Motohashi reckons that Higashino Division will probably have to go through two or three more revisions before finally finalizing the animation script.

After all, many shortcomings are quite conspicuous in the past.

Of course, there are also advantages, that is, Higashino Division's storyboards are very crisp and straightforward, and there is no pause when turning a page, which makes people feel very comfortable watching.

Daohong Motohashi thought, if he is trained, maybe the other party can become a particularly famous animation script writer.

Of course, this is just a thought.

"That's too far." Daohong Motohashi smiled and shook his head.

Yeah, that's too far.

Higashino has only just started on the road of animation, and it still needs time to settle.

then

Two days later, Higashino came to the door with the revised animation script.

"So fast?" Motohashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu had just finished a meeting with the production team they had found and were about to get off work to have a meal, but Higashinoji came to him.

When they heard Dongye Si Leng came to report the progress, both of them lost their voices. Isn't this too fast?

Motohashi Daohiro showed a smile on his middle-aged puffy face, and said politely: "Brother Higashino, you are really fast! You revised the animation script so quickly, Toda and I didn't expect it."

It was very fast. Two days ago I just praised you for not being impetuous at all, but today you slapped me in the face. The speed of slapping in the face is too fast.

You know, it's only been two days, and Higashino has revised the animation script?This speed is too fast.

But it's no use just thinking about these things in your head.

Motohashi Daohong and Toda Shiguang still decided to take a look at the modified finished product of Higashino Division.

After all, my colleagues have brought their things here, so it’s not good not to take a look.

The two of them flipped through it casually, and they turned to the part where the male protagonist Ryuji Takayama and the female protagonist Reiko Asakawa had a conversation.

"Because I'm a freak?" Takayama Ryuji lowered his head and held the food, his voice was calm.

Reiko Asakawa sat halfway on the ground, her face was full of grief - she only had the last two days of life, if she couldn't ask about Sadako from Ikuma Heihachiro's mouth, neither she nor her son would be able to Killed by Sadako's curse.

She knew that there might be no way out, so she entrusted her son to Takayama Ryuji, hoping that he could find the truth and save her son.

But Takayama Ryuji was very disgusted with her way of shirking responsibility and giving up hope, so this conversation happened.

"Maybe we shouldn't have had Koichi then"

"The three of us will die together."

Then came the next few shots, the lights fell oppressively, the outside was silent, and the dark night made people feel uncomfortable

"This?"

Motohashi Nobuhiro and Toda Shimitsu stared wide-eyed, looking too surprised to add anything.

It's not that the revised script is bad, but that the quality is so good that they both didn't expect it for a moment, so that they fell into the plot.

"What's the matter? Superviser Motohashi? Deputy Superintendent Toda?" Higashinoji was still waiting at the side, and when he saw the voices of the two, he asked politely: "Do you think there are still shortcomings? Of course, After all, it has only been revised for two days, so please correct me if there is anything inappropriate."

"Ah this"

Correct me?

What else is there to correct?

At least Motohashi Nobuhiro and Toda Shiguang couldn’t find anything to correct, so it’s no problem to use this as a script for production.

Daohiro Motohashi and Shimitsu Toda looked at each other, and they were just about to tell Higashino that the animation script was qualified and could be used directly to adapt the script, but the next second, Higashino's words made them swallow the words again in stomach.

"Speaking of which, I actually want to revise some places. Can you bother me to listen to my thoughts? Can you give me a reference by the way?"

"Do you want to change it?" Daohong Motohashi opened his mouth, but closed it halfway through.

He looked at the animation script on the table again, and then pondered for a while—it didn't feel like there was anything to modify.

That's enough.

The appearance of the two of them made Higashinoji next to him a little strange. He repeatedly looked at the expressions of Motohashi Nobuhiro and Toda Shimitsu: "Do Motohashi-san and Toda-san think this is enough?"

"cough"

Motohashi Nobuhiro and Toda Shimitsu are also single, so they nodded honestly: "Toda and I think this is enough. If there is no future, I want the author who adapted the script to come and take it away and directly adapt it." gone."

They really do think it's okay.

But regarding this, Higashinoji shook his head and said kindly: "After I was guided by Motohashi-san and Toda-san before, I feel that I have gained a lot of experience. This script can still be changed, and I will give it to me to change it." Change it."

With his polite tone and sincere attitude, Daohong Motohashi couldn't help scratching his hair.

Many script writers have finally changed the script, and basically they will not take the initiative to work again, unless he and Toda make a request to the other party, the other party will make a move.

And it moves so slowly that sometimes Daohong Motohashi wants to whip the ass of those who are in charge of the script.

But it was the first time they had seen an author like Higashinoji who was so proactively asking for a job.

"If Brother Higashino has this idea, Toda and I will not object."

Daohong Motohashi said with a smile.

This is a good thing, regardless of whether Higashinoji will change the script in the end, at least his work spirit is here.

But just in case, he still called a female employee in charge of printing to reprint Higashinosi's script and keep a backup.

Dong Yesi didn't care, he just asked them a few more questions before leaving, and then left contentedly.

Seeing his leaving back, Daohong Motohashi couldn't help but say: "I was still teasing before, but now I really think that brother Higashino might really become a famous animation script writer."

Toda Shimitsu was originally a taciturn person, but after hearing his words, he nodded with a rare expression of approval.

It is indeed very powerful, to improve to this point in two days, this is probably a rocket.

So busy, busy, the production team of the "Midnight Ring" animated film finally got Daohong Motohashi to pull it up.

Color direction, special effects, animation supervision

These people are all acquaintances of Daohong Motohashi, and he intends to promote them deliberately, but the main reason is that the acquaintances are easy to use, unlike the grass-roots team outside, which is very laborious to direct.

The preparations on their side are almost finished. It's time to call Dong Yesi and ask him about the situation of the animation script. No one knows, so why not just mess it up?

However, as soon as Daohong Motohashi got his mobile phone, he was stopped by a familiar voice behind him before he could speak.

"Motohashi-san, the script of the animation has been changed, it just so happens that you are also in the main building to take a look first."

The person who walked in from the outside happened to be Higashino Division.

"Ah Brother Dongye, let's not talk about this for now, I was just about to call you."

Daohong Motohashi showed an enthusiastic smile. Just as he was about to talk about his own creative script, Higashinoji came to him. Isn't that just right?

He quickly went up to him and explained the current situation to Higashino Division.

"Show your face?" Dong Yesi became interested when he heard this, and he was still very curious about the main creative team that was going to be pulled together next.

So he immediately took the lead and agreed: "Then please Benqiao-san take me there."

The two talked while walking, mainly about the production team of "Midnight Ring".

Higashino Division soon followed Hashimoto Daohong into the attached building and walked through a noisy corridor.

On the side of the corridor, Higashino even saw a few supervisors of animation production pointing at the heads of some painters and cursing, and some supervisors even started directly - hitting their heads with manuscripts.

Perhaps these painters are newcomers who have just joined the capital animation production company, so it is normal to be scolded by the seniors like this. After all, Japan has always been such a society, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is clearly distinguished.

When the supervisors of several small productions saw Daohong Motohashi coming, they came to say hello with a smile on their faces. Even the 'unidentified' Higashino Division next to him enjoyed this treatment. Many staff came over, very enthusiastic, and Those who bowed and greeted each other, shouted one teacher at a time.

Higashinoji, as a member of the Celestial Dynasty, had never seen the status quo of the Japanese workplace in his previous life, but the other party just smiled when he greeted them.

"Brother Higashino doesn't seem to be used to this kind of occasion?" Daohong Motohashi led Higashino to turn the corner.

"I'm not used to it, it's the first time I've seen you." Higashinosi admitted with a smile that he could feel the pressure of the workplace environment in Japan just by looking at him. If he worked in it, his blood pressure might not be full.

"Hehe, I will have many chances to see you after work." Motohashi nodded, pressed the elevator, and brought Higashinoji to the upper floor.

The environment on this floor is relatively quiet. Unlike the quarterly animation production below, which is updated once a week, this floor is where the long-term production team stays.

Daohong Motohashi walked with Higashinoji for a long distance, and finally arrived at a room with a white board hanging on it, which read 'The Production Team of "Midnight Ring". ' A string of words.

Daohong Motohashi led Higashinoji into it, and before Higashinoji looked around, the circle of people sitting inside suddenly stood up——

"You have worked hard!"

The sounds that seemed to be rehearsed made Higashino Division stunned for a while, and only after he recovered did he realize that the animation producers were greeting Motohiro Motohashi.

"This is Mr. Higashino, the chief writer in charge of the script of "Midnight Ring"."

Daohong Motohashi obviously adapted to this situation, and introduced after nodding his head.

The voice of Qi Shushu sounded again, but the content changed suddenly: "You have worked hard, Mr. Dongye!"

As a member of the main creative team, Higashino Division is theoretically second only to the supervisor Motohiro Motohashi, so of course they have to pay respects.

But Dong Yesi is still a standard Chinese thinking. In China, even if a big leader came to inspect the class, he would not suddenly stand up in a row like Japan, say "you have worked hard", and then bow deeply. of?

Isn't this a riot?

But forget it, Higashino Division also experienced the feeling of being a master, so he smiled at them and nodded.

Anyway, I just came here to get acquainted, and how to operate after that is the business of Daohong Motohashi.

　Thank you Teppanyaki Cuttlefish, Grumpy Qiongmei, Tianyu Tianze, Imperial Guards, and Tongcheng Valley for their rewards!Thank you so much!
