Best wishes for animation production

There's something magical about how things unfold.

Gu Xue looked at the original author of the comic and finally understood why some parts of "Embrace a Better Tomorrow" looked so gay. It turned out to be a girl...

The original manga author, who looked like a "blond half-breed corrupt dog", waited for Miyamoto Fumi to introduce himself, then bent over to everyone, then looked around and found a seat to sit down.

Probably because of being of the same sex, the position she finally chose was right next to Gu Xue.

Gu Xue also came to her senses at this time and looked at her carefully.

I have to say that when you look closer, she feels even smaller. To exaggerate, there is nothing wrong with using one to describe her.

And it really looks like a certain blond loser. If he tied his blond hair into twin tails...

"Hello." The other party didn't know what Gu Xue was thinking. After sitting down, he turned around and said hello to Gu Xue. His attitude was average, not too cold, but not enthusiastic either.

Gu Xue didn't mind either.

After all, the two of them had just met for the first time, and they seemed to have differences over the script of the adapted work. It would be strange if she was too enthusiastic.

In this case, everyone's attitude will be average... Oh, that silly girl Sato Ei may not. After all, she is a person who can bring Gu Xue a sack of sweet potatoes as a specialty when she goes home during the Chinese New Year...

Gu Xue thought she was hinting that she was a sweet potato...

"Hello, my name is Gu Xue." Gu Xue nodded to her and said her name as a greeting.

As for the other party's name.

Gu Xue almost vomited after reading the comic, but she couldn't remember her name. Her name was Shirakawa Rina.

However, although Gu Xue knew the other party's name, Shirakawa Rina watched Gu Xue report her name, paused for a while, and then reported her own name.

Gu Xue nodded to show that she understood.

This was the first time the two met, and they were quite harmonious.

As for the other three people in the conference room, Miyamoto Hui and Takeda P were fine. Both of them had met Gu Xue and Shirakawa Rina before. The composition of that series was different, and he was very shocked, especially when he saw Gu Xue and Shirakawa Rina sitting together, he even suspected that he had joined a fake animation production company...

Finally, I pinched my thigh, and I screamed in pain like a lunatic...

It was delayed a little, but the meeting was not affected and started as scheduled.

Series composition.

This position does not exist in the theatrical version of animation, because the theatrical version is an animation, but it is necessary for TV animation, because TV animation is a ‘series’.

The main job of series composition is to determine the framework of the work and outline the story of the entire work. At the same time, it is also responsible for controlling the story of each episode.

To put it simply, it is to determine the direction of the story and the necessary content of each episode. For example, in this episode, a certain character must appear, a certain character must exit, where the story will proceed, etc.

After all, there are more than ten episodes of TV animation, so you can’t just do whatever you think of, and just do whatever the script says, right?

This is not realistic.

It is necessary for TV animation to have a good outline. Only when the outline of the series is set well can the script writer write the script. The script writer, who is the specific person in charge of the story of each episode, must write out the specific content according to the outline of the series structure.

For example, in the first episode of Giant, the synopsis confirms that Ellen's mother is going to die, so the script writer needs to confirm when, where and how she will die, her expression before death, what words she said before death, etc... …

If there was no synopsis, it would be embarrassing if Ellen's mother died in the second episode, right...

So series composition is necessary.

This is the 'foundation' of animation production, and it is also a link that the production committee cares about. How to make the outline, these top bosses have to look at it.

And this link.

As a supervisor, Gu Xue has the greatest say.

She wanted to cut off the entire first volume of the manga, but because the original author of the manga was sitting next to her, she took into account Shirakawa Rina's emotions and remained silent for a while.

The series composition surnamed Ye opened the notebook he carried with him, looked at Gu Xue, and found that she had not spoken for a long time. After hesitating for a while, he suggested: "I think..."

"never mind."

Gu Xue thought for a while and interrupted him.

Or decide to say it yourself.

Otherwise, if she waits until she is not satisfied with the outline set by the other party and then proposes changes, she will offend others even more. Moreover, she does not want to wrong herself. Since she is the supervisor, she just wants to complete the work at her own pace. She does not want to Because of the momentary concession, I ended up feeling uncomfortable.

"Mr. Shirakawa, I really like your comics and the characters you created."

Gu Xue looked at Shirakawa Rina, who was staring at the long table, seemingly in a daze. She first made a gentle opening statement, and then changed the topic and said: "But I think the animation time is limited, and the rhythm of the overall story must be taken into consideration. Try to compress the content of the first volume as much as possible, even if you cut off the entire first volume, my idea is this..."

Speaking of this, Gu Xue paused and looked at the composition of the series named Ye.

Ye Huo nodded and motioned for her to speak.

Gu Xue took a deep breath and continued: "The first episode of the animation starts directly from the end of the first volume of the comic. The three protagonists have grown up. We use the male protagonist's mouth to describe the world view and mention the evil dragon. Then the three protagonists At the suggestion of the male protagonist, they decided to take an adventure and complete the coming-of-age ceremony. Before they entered the dungeon, in the deep foggy forest, they arranged emergencies, threw out the power system, and at the same time made part of the dungeon settings public until The three protagonists enter the dungeon until they meet the evil dragon."

"From the beginning of the second episode, it will generally follow the plot of the comic, but some of the plot will be deleted, such as..."

Gu Xue expressed her thoughts on the direction of the story in simple and straightforward words.

Ye Huo's fingers were flying, tapping the keyboard, and then recorded it after slightly modifying it with his profound literary skills. While recording, he had some opinions of his own, but he looked at Gu Xue's serious look and did not say it out in order to avoid interrupting her train of thought. He planned to wait until the other party finished speaking before mentioning it.

But not everyone thinks so.

Gu Xue was still interrupted.

When Shirakawa Rina, who had been looking at the long table in a daze, heard Gu Xue say that she would not hesitate to cut off the first volume, her little hands under the table clenched into fists. When Gu Xue finished talking about the main content of the first episode of the animation, She couldn't hold it in any longer.

She flicked her blond hair, turned to look at Gu Xue, and said angrily: "I disagree. Since you said you like the characters I created, please try your best to retain the content of the first volume, which is the growth process of the three protagonists. , is also the cause of conflicts in the following two volumes. I don’t agree with the animation’s approach of starting from the end of the first volume.”
