Best wishes for animation production

After lunch, Hashimoto Shin said goodbye and left.

This routine visit almost made his blood pressure explode with anger.

But after saying goodbye, when he took the elevator downstairs alone, Hashimoto Shin thought about what had just happened.

It feels magical and funny again.

His brother-in-law, who couldn't hold it in for a long time, could actually say the empty lyrics "Alan was forced into the bathtub"...

Hashimoto Susumu has released many songs.

There are songs that are also collaborated with animation production groups.

There are also regular EPs.

My brother-in-law has never heard one of them.

In contrast, Hashimoto Shin had no dissatisfaction, because he knew that his brother-in-law was a very traditional man, and his living habits and interests were exactly the same as those of the late century.

But this time, he actually listened to his song and even said the name of the animation, "Attack on Titan".

He must have never watched the anime, Hashimoto Shin is sure of this.

He might have heard someone else say it, and he could actually remember the name of the animation after listening to it...

Is this you?

Hashimoto Shin walked out of the elevator and shook his head in confusion.

Ahead, two boys were walking toward him, and they seemed to be taking the elevator.

Hashimoto Jin didn't care at first.

But the conversation between the two attracted him.

"That idiot who is stationed in the corps, Alan, who can turn into a giant, actually wants to kill him? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"Yeah, damn it! Fortunately, that bald commander isn't out of his mind!"

"The latest episode aired... This OP is so irritating, but also so brainwashing, haha."

"OP, I jumped. Does it really sound good?"

"certainly……"

The two talked about the plot of the animation and entered the elevator.

Hashimoto Jin stopped and watched the two people enter the elevator, even more dumbfounded.

This situation.

He has actually encountered it many, many times during this period.

But it still didn't feel real to him.

Even though, since the animation was aired, there has been an endless stream of animation production teams looking for him to cooperate, and people looking for companies to buy song licenses. The contact number of Atlantis Records and his personal phone number are being called every day.

He still felt that it was extremely unreal.

This... just because of an animation?

Just because of an animation, you have become famous inexplicably? Or maybe your song became popular for no reason?

Hashimoto Jin felt it was magical.

He knows better than anyone else the fact that anime became popular because of the OP, but he just finds it magical.

Especially when thinking about a cute girl who looks like she's in high school.

It feels more magical.

Hashimoto Jin watched the elevator door close.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Turn around.

Decided not to think about it anymore.

Prepare to leave.

But as soon as he lifted his right leg, the phone rang.

Hashimoto Shin took it out and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number again.

He sighed.

here we go again.

Pick up skillfully.

Hashimoto Jin is ready to sing.

But the other party was obviously prepared, and the first sentence he spoke was very professional.

This made Hashimoto Shin, who was about to attack someone, get stuck.

"Hello, are you Mr. Hashimoto Shin, the singer of "Guren no Yuya"?"

"Forehead……"

The chanting was interrupted.

Hashimoto Shin felt a little uncomfortable and... a little disappointed. He paused, patiently, and said in a calm tone: "Well, I am, but if you want to cooperate, please contact..."

"No, I contacted your company, but Ms. Ito asked me to ask what you mean. The situation is like this. I am a staff member of NHK. After investigation through various channels, you meet the standards for participating in this year's Kohaku Utakara Gala, so I would like to ask Are you... interested in playing?"

"..."

Hear NHK.

Hashimoto Jin's hand shook.

As the other person continued to talk, he shook more and more violently.

Wait for the other person to finish speaking.

Hashimoto Shin seemed to be silenced.

I was stunned.

seriously! ?

Red and white song party? ? ?

???

WTF? ? ?

Really come! ?

"Hello? Hello, hello? Mr. Hashimoto Shin?"

The staff on the opposite side noticed that Hashimoto Shin had not spoken for a long time and fed him a few times.

"I am here……"

Hashimoto Shin took a deep breath and replied in a daze.

Then.

After simple negotiation.

The phone was hung up.

Hashimoto Shin didn't know how he hung up the phone.

this moment.

Whatever is unreal doesn’t exist anymore.

There are two thresholds for the appearance criteria of the Red and White Song Festival.

The first threshold is to be active and have a basis of public opinion.

The second threshold is surveys through various channels, 3,000 people, 8,000 people, popularity of the work, disc sales, karaoke song requests, etc.

Obviously, by informing Shin Hashimoto now, he would fit the bill.

The "Attack on Titan" of this world

Even more popular than on Earth.

He is a ghost only if he does not meet the requirements.

NHK certified.

All unreality has become reality, and Hashimoto Shin can no longer even unconsciously escape or deny it.

But Hashimoto Shin doesn't think about it that much now.

At this moment, the memory of the first time he met Gu Xue was echoing in his mind.

What Gu Xue said...

"Maybe I can go to the Red and White Song Festival... Maybe I can go to the Red and White Song Festival... Maybe I can go to the Red and White Song Festival... Maybe..."

Hashimoto Shin stood in front of the elevator like an idiot for about ten minutes before he came to his senses.

When he came to his senses, he picked up his phone as soon as possible.

this moment.

He followed his inner guidance.

Sent a message to Gu Xue.

A simple and direct message.

"You're so awesome."

After five or six minutes, Gu Xue's message came back.

"Mr. Hashimoto Shin, do you have a fever?"

Hashimoto Jin: "..."

…

Generally speaking, animated BDs usually take two to three months to be released.

Of course, for some popular animations, it will be faster, about a month.

If you have great confidence in your work, you can even have the disc released in two or three weeks.

But the situation here in "Attack on Titan".

Gu Xue is confident in her animation.

But Rosedale, who is responsible for distributing animation, is not very good at it.

When he cooperated with YUKI Studio, he almost went bankrupt.

It is indeed a bit difficult for them to release the BD within two or three weeks after the animation is broadcast.

So I can only drag it.

Prepare according to the release time of general animation.

Later, "Attack on Titan" became a hit, and Rosedale wanted to speed up her production for fear of missing the golden period of animation, but she was unable to do so.

And after Rosedale was unable to do what she wanted for a while, she also lost sight of it...

Missed the golden period?

Your animation is getting more and more popular, Pan Tiao Mao.

So, Giant's BD/DVD. In the end, it was released as planned.

It took a while longer...

But what should come will always come.

finally……

This month.

this week.

The first BD volume of "Attack on Titan" is about to be released.

In fact, before BD was officially released.

On the prediction list that 2ch regularly posts, the predicted sales of this currently phenomenal work are extremely terrifying, and many people in the industry are dumbfounded.

And it’s not just that the predicted sales volume of one volume is terrifying.

But the predicted sales of five or six volumes are terrifying!

From first to fifth place, it’s all “Attack on Titan”!

But predict sales.

After all, it's just a forecast, just an estimated sales volume.

Although forecasting sales has certain basis and reference value.

But the audience’s actual purchasing motivations are still mysterious and elusive.

Sales data is a complete mystery.

Only when the product is actually released and the real sales volume comes out can the final word be considered.

So, Attack on Titan Volume 1 is about to be released.

It touched the hearts of many people.

First of all, of course, the people from YUKI Studio and the people from publisher Rosedale.

Especially at the top.

Like Yu Jingyao, he opens the prediction list almost every day.

Even if it is a repeated list that has not been updated, she will read it.

It was as if I was afraid that "Attack on Titan" would suddenly fall.

And colleagues in the industry are also paying attention.

Some of them are simply curious, and they just want to see how many discs this currently phenomenal work can sell after its initial release.

There are also people who have other thoughts and want to see if Giant sells well, and then decide whether to follow the trend and produce some dark works...

As for why I copied the Dark system, but didn't directly follow the trend and copy the Giant.

emmm…

Look at "Monster."

Look at "Adventures."

goodbye!

In addition, there are people.

Just having dark thoughts.

They want to see YUKI Studio run into trouble.

The quality of the animation is good, but the sales of the disc are poor, that is, it is popular but not a box office success. This kind of thing happens everywhere.

Don't look at the phenomenon of "Attack on Titan", it seems that everyone has seen this animation.

But what if the disc just doesn't sell?

Although the success of this animation cannot be denied.

But what if the disc just doesn’t sell?

People who think like this.

In fact, there are quite a few.

There are colleagues who don't like others, there are companies that had the opportunity to join the Giant Animation Production Committee but missed it, and there are also... so-called famous supervisors.

Anyway.

Almost all practitioners, peers, and animation enthusiasts.

This week, everyone is staring at the BD sales of the first volume of this anime by YUKI Studio.

The first volume of "Attack on Titan" is in the spotlight.

Officially released.

On the day of the release, Gu Xue expressed calmness.

I still held Miss Mihara in my arms and asked her if she was nervous.

That night.

Preliminary sales are out.

rumor.

When Yu Jingyao heard the preliminary sales, she jumped up regardless of her image.

Finally he landed and broke a pair of high heels.

Although she refused to admit it until her death.

But Sato Ei bravely jumped out and testified against her.

A week later.

"Attack on Titan"

The first volume started selling well.

It’s officially out.

1……

182642 pieces!

One hundred and eighty thousand!

this number.

Shocked the entire industry!

Many people counted and counted.

Count again and again.

But no matter how they count.

Six digits, just six digits.

It can’t be less!

That’s one hundred and eighty thousand!

Including DVDs, more than 200,000 discs were sold!

The first volume of Titan was released, and it immediately became the TV animation with the highest initial popularity in the past fifteen years!

Highest!

And this sales volume!

Even if all the TV animations of this season are released for the first time! String them all together! Not even enough to beat "Attack on Titan"!

The entire industry was in an uproar.

…

"Attack on Titan" initial sales figures released.

The animation supervisor, our little Gu Xue, was not too excited when he saw it.

After all, the first move is a week’s sales.

Gu Xue still knows how much he sells every day.

The final initial movement data was slightly different from the number she had guessed.

But she was mentally prepared.

This is certainly a very satisfactory result.

Even Gu Xue was very satisfied.

But satisfaction is satisfaction.

What should be done must still be done...

…

Shortly after the Titan's first move data came out.

"Attack on Titan".

Supervision of this star production.

Gu Xue sent a tweet.

It seems like...a crazy tweet.

[The animation "Attack on Titan" can actually be broadcast in July, or it can be re-polished and broadcast in January, but I said I would snipe you, Kei Narita, so I chose October.

And I have done what I said. Now let me ask you a question, are you happy?

If you are not happy, then think about what you did to Miss Mihara during the production of "Falling Feathers". You really don't look like a man. I am more MAN than you. And now, I have proved that I Not only is he better than you as a MAN, he also does better animation than you...so go ahead and eat shit!

Shit name supervisor! 】

Gu Xue actually hates bullying others and adding insult to injury.

but.

This time, she had to do what Narita Kei did even if she hated it!

Miss Mihara.

Miss Mihara was forced to take the blame and was slapped again, why should she endure it?

A tweet from Gu Xue was sent out.

It immediately made waves.

Ordinary viewers may not think much of it after watching it.

At most, I just want to understand the situation when 3.C PICTURE produced "Falling Feathers", and then curse Narita Kei.

But many of the production teams and producers of this season’s animation became uneasy after seeing this tweet.

They devoured Narita Kei alive.

It turns out it's because of his idiot!

Because of his idiot, all the new episodes in October were pinned to the ground and rubbed by giants!

Holy shit!

…

the other side.

3.C PICTURE.

Narita Kei didn't see YUKI Studio being unlucky.

Instead, he saw an initial sales volume that he had never thought of.

as well as……

Gu Xue mocked his tweet.

same day.

After Gu Xue’s tweet was sent.

3.C PICTURE animation production company.

Suddenly there was a huge noise.

Narita Kei threw everything he could in his position.

In the end, I was so angry that I couldn't control myself and tore up all the original drawings for the animation that will be aired this week.

Raised.

What he did fully demonstrated.

What is called.

furious.

pity.

No matter how angry he is.

It can't change a fact.

"monster"

He said it was the result of ten years of sharpening his sword.

In front of "Attack on Titan".

Nothing.

Disc sales are the best proof.

This is more than anything else.

All are convincing.

The two chapters add up to 6,000 words. I tried my best... Sorry, it's really not good. In fact, there is a plot between Duan Guxue and Miyuan, but I'm afraid that the whole chapter will be blocked, and I feel that the atmosphere is not right. , I didn’t dare to add it, I’ll post it tomorrow.

Thank you for your support (I finally felt a little braver recently and went to see the backstage. Thank you very much, and I hope you can forgive me (;︵;`))

This time, the giant is finished in a big way. As for the movie of YUKI Studio, I didn’t actually mention it in the previous article. It just said that Gu Xue had a bold idea, and then he worked hard for half a year... Can you guess what movie it is, it is still with Narita It is related to this person.
