The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

At eight o'clock in the evening, Huaying headquarters.

It was the off-duty time, and the employees of various departments in the office building packed up their things and left one after another, but the office hall where the production team of "Naruto" was still bright as day, except for a few manga artists, most of them lingered in their own The station around, not in a hurry to leave.

Shepherd star is clear.

Also.

Although the production team is full of confidence in this animation, the initial rhythm of "Naruto" is indeed a bit slow compared to the popular hot-blooded youth manga in the market. The animation plot starts from the Chunin exam. It can be regarded as really getting to the point. In addition, Hokage itself is a super long show. If the beginning is too difficult, even if you catch up later, it will be difficult for the audience who lost in the front to come back.

Fang Lian suggested: "Being idle is idle, why don't we just stay at the company and watch the first episode that will be updated later?"

This proposal was in line with everyone's wishes, but, considering that the immediate boss was still present, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Shepherd Star.

It's just turning on the computer and watching an animation. Naturally, the Shepherd Star will not refuse such trivial matters, and now he just said: "Okay, just don't forget to turn off the computer before you leave later." At the end, I added a sentence Joke: "By the way, this doesn't count as overtime. Don't ask me for overtime pay later."

Everyone laughed and booed.

"It's too much, Director Mu, is it so real?"

"Forget overtime pay, just because we are so concerned about the company's projects, it's okay to give our project team a few bonuses."

This is just kidding.

Of course, the crowd didn't really mean to complain or ask for bonuses. Seeing that Shepherd Star had no intention of objecting, they immediately dispersed and returned to their respective computer desks.Fang Lian cheekily followed Shepherd Xing and slipped into the company's small movie theater. Once inside, he sat on the single sofa inside and let out a contented sigh:

"Sure enough, it's better to see the effect here."

The company spends a lot of money to build it, and the effect is equivalent to the small theater of the Blue Star Cinema, so can the viewing effect be bad?

Mu Suxing didn't let him know that he just wanted to stay in the movie theater, so he turned on the multimedia equipment in the movie theater and adjusted the page to the playback page of "Naruto", when he heard Fang Lian ask: "Yunsu Over there in the theme park, do you really have no plans?"

At the end, he spoke with anticipation: "Let's not talk about Yunsu, when can we go there to see it in advance? I have long wanted to see Hogwarts Castle in reality."

Mu Ju Xingdian opened the first episode of "Naruto", which was refreshed, and sat back on the sofa.He counted the time: "As for Hogwarts Castle, it will probably open in September or October. If you want to go, just ask them for a permit at that time."

While the two were chatting, "Naruto" on the screen also officially started.

At the beginning of the animation, there is a scene where the nine-tailed demon fox destroys Konoha, and the fourth Hokage desperately seals it, and he also dies because of it.In order to avoid revealing too many clues in the later stage, there are not many plots here, and the simple narrative ends here. Just considering the principle of being able to attract people with their faces, and there is no reason to hide them, Shepherd Xing gave it without hesitation. A big close-up of the Fourth Hokage.

Under the dark night, outside the seriously injured crowd.

The man stood tall, looking into the distance, his sobriety and calmness almost froze into ice.The moonlight elongated his figure, and the wind blew up the flame-trimmed robe with the words "Fourth Hokage" rattling. At this moment, against the half-brightness and half-shadow background, there was a kind of flame-like flame. A wonderful sight like jumping.

The two present here are both members of the "Naruto" project team. They are naturally very familiar with the shots they have handled, but the pre-production and the post-production are two different things. Looking at the feng shui on the screen The door never turned back, Fang Lian couldn't help sighing:

"One thing to say, I see it as a straight man, Namikaze Minato is definitely the most handsome man in this animation, bar none."

Mu Suxing originally wanted to say, could it be that the Uchiha family can't get into your eyes?However, considering Fang Lian's "straight men are restricted", he seriously recalled the tangled plot in "Naruto" that can be called "sadomasochism", and he felt that he couldn't refute it.

"It seems to be true."

"What does it seem like, do you dare to say that you didn't do it on purpose?" Fang Lian glanced at him: "In the original manga, there was no scene for the Fourth Hokage at the beginning, let alone a face like you. How dare you say you Isn’t there any strange evil taste? First give the audience a handsome male god, and then tell the male god that he died at the beginning, tsk tsk, dog thief, you really have it.”

Mu Suxing thought of the tons of blades in the middle and late stages of "Naruto", and his face was calm.

As the saying goes, if you have too much debt, you don't weigh yourself down. In fact, the opening death of Namikaze Minato does not appear to be cruel.Audiences like Jiraiya and Itachi Uchiha spent a long time getting familiar with and establishing emotional characters. The death of a character is really heart-wrenching and helpless, but because of the needs of the plot, there is no way to refute it, so I can only swallow it with tears Lower blade.

While the two were chatting, the animation on the screen continued.

After the simple opening, with the sound of the theme song, the copyright information of the work and the list subtitles of all members of the production team soon appeared on the screen. At the same time, the plot of the animation is also accompanied by the soundtrack at this moment. Slowly opened the prelude.

Like most long-form animations, the first episode of "Naruto" is also the opening of the story, as well as an introduction to the animation background and main characters.

Mischievous and mischievous, he was chased by other ninjas because of pranks, and his grades have been at the bottom for thousands of years. Naruto Uzumaki, who used his own "separation technique" in the transformation assessment, is a hard-working old father Iruka. The future Konoha Twelve Xiaoqiang who just made a cutscene at the beginning...

Very common juvenile manga opening.

Of course, Fang Lian is not unclear about the plot of the animation he has handled.Right now, he was sitting in front of the screen, and what he was looking at was not the plot itself, but an effect of the overall picture.Therefore, at this moment, while looking at the results of his work, he commented as objectively as possible:

"The number of subscriptions in the initial stage of this animation is estimated to be not very good."

How to put it, Fang Lian can be regarded as an experienced cartoonist now, and he still has a basic judgment on commercial animation: "The plot of "Naruto" in the early stage is not bad, but the pace is still too slow, and the design of the combat system Although it is novel, the overall plot lacks any surprises.”

He commented: "In general, the number of subscriptions should not be bad, but it may not be possible to become popular at the beginning like our previous animations."

Shepherd star smiled, neither negating nor agreeing.

With the completion of the first episode of "Naruto", a lot of comments have emerged in the comment area at the bottom of the video page. Although ordinary viewers may not see it as thoroughly as professionals, their viewing experience is almost the same. of.

"It's still pretty."

"It's good-looking, but I always feel that something is missing? No, it's just that this animation is actually okay in general, with an above-average look, but it doesn't have the amazing feeling of the animations I watched before. I put it on other animation companies. It's an extraordinary performance, but it doesn't look good enough when placed on Huaying... Could it be that my appetite has been spoiled by Huaying?"

"As far as the first episode is concerned, it can only be regarded as the normal level of Huaying's normal performance."

"The background setting is still very interesting, and the painting style is not bad. The fourth Hokage in the opening scene is so soul-stirring, but unfortunately died on the spot, heartbroken. I heard that this animation is a long story? It feels good so far, and I hope it will appear in the follow-up Some impressive and eye-catching plots."

really.

Those who will watch the animation as soon as it starts broadcasting and reply to comments immediately are basically loyal fans of Huaying animation.It's just that Fang Lian already had predictions and judgments before the animation was played, so it's not surprising to see the audience's comments now.

I don't know how many points these audiences will give "Naruto"?

8 points? 9 points is estimated to be a bit uncertain, but it is not without consideration...

As he thought about it, he searched the score on his phone. He thought the score should be between 8 and 9. However, the series of comprehensive scores appearing on the right side of "Naruto" made Fang Lian almost I was dumbfounded.

9.5 point?

Fang Lian was really surprised at this moment: "Don't all the reviews say it's average? How can the overall score be so high? This..." 9.5 points, this is the category of a masterpiece, right?He didn't remember that they asked the navy to score points.

"This is the brand effect." Shepherd Xing said.

The plot of "Naruto" in the early stage is a bit slow.

For other companies, producing slow-paced animations in today’s fast-paced market environment is undoubtedly asking for trouble, but the current Huaying animation will not have such troubles—for audiences who are accustomed to watching animations , produced by Huaying, it is a boutique, if you are not surprised at first, then please refer to "Magic Girl Madoka Magica".

Therefore, although many viewers have said that the early plot of "Naruto" is ordinary and not amazing, they did not give a low score because of this, but chose five-star wait and see without hesitation.

When encountering passer-by viewers who thought that "Naruto" was average, many viewers even took the initiative to explain, hoping that the newcomers would not be discouraged by the mediocrity at the beginning. In terms of Huaying's style, the subsequent plots will only become more exciting and slow-paced. It is the proof that Huaying wants to tell an interesting story seriously. I hope newcomers can be more patient with Huaying, Huaying will never let them down.

The same thing soon happened to "One Piece".

Compared with "Naruto", "One Piece" has actually received more criticism-the reason is actually simple. If the style of "Naruto" is the kind that can attract audiences who control face, then "Naruto" One Piece" is the kind that can dissuade countless female fans just by its style of painting.

However, even so, the word-of-mouth reputation of "One Piece" is surprisingly high.

Whether it is a fan who likes Huaying itself, or a black fan who has no affection for Huaying, neither cares about the slow pace at the beginning of the two animations.

It seems that everyone agrees that "Naruto" and "One Piece" will definitely be two undisputed high-quality animations. Right now, I feel average, just because the good show is coming.

When the first episodes of "Naruto" and "One Piece" ended and they topped the list of new summer animations with nearly [-] million subscribers, no one objected to this.

Many animation-related media class magazines even set up a special column to analyze one detail after another, and take the initiative to explain to the audience why they feel so-so. They are afraid that such a good long-form animation will be forced to die because it does not receive enough support. look.

Shen Nian, the editor-in-chief of "Anime Online", opened a special topic on animation on the title page of her magazine. At the beginning of this article, she wrote straight to the point:

"These are two very interesting animations - some people have seen the novel and fun combat system, and some have seen the youth's blood, dreams and never give up. But my biggest feeling is that from these two animations, there is no rush. Slowly, in the two worlds that spread out little by little, I can see Huaying's ambition."
