Big Manga

Manga Island, when Meng Huo came back, the island studio had already started preparations for "The Rozen Maiden".

Among them, Qin Ya was the most active. Before Meng Huo came back, she had already led the artists to complete the production of a small clip—and it was so good that it could be directly put into the animation.

Meng Huo was very surprised. While praising Qin Ya, he was also curious: "Don't you have to be busy with your own affairs? Have you met those painters?"

"Ah?" Qin Ya was taken aback for a moment, then she came to her senses and nodded with a smile: "Of course, I have already contacted those painters. The animation team formed by the company for "Legend of the Galaxy Diva" is very good."

She knew that Meng Huo was talking about the newly established animation studio. The studio established for "Legend of the Galaxy Diva" has already started working, and the location is on the manga island. This is for the convenience of Qin Ya's work, which is very satisfying. She is satisfied.

The quality of the staff in the studio is also good. Most of the painters are excellent painters who have jumped from other small companies. Joining Phoenix Company is the dream of many people, and their enthusiasm for work is also very high.

The team structure of "Legend of the Galaxy Diva" is very good. Meng Huo even assigned them a director, because as long as the animation is produced according to the comic plot, the director seems to be very confident at the moment.

"Teacher, if you are free, you can go there and have a look. Many painters want to meet you." Qin Ya said with a smile. Teacher He Xi, who is the signature of Phoenix Company, is the one that every new employee who comes to Phoenix Company looks forward to seeing the most. people.

"Of course, I'll go there when I have time." Meng Huo was very interested in the new animation department, but compared to that department. Now he is more worried about Qin Ya's situation: "Is it okay for you to do this? You have so many jobs on your body. Can you adapt?"

Qin Ya's work is no less than that of Meng Huo. Although there are three assistants in the comics of "Legend of the Galaxy Diva", and the animation production may also share some pressure-but Qin Ya herself is also shouldering the responsibility of being a comic assistant for Meng Huo's "Soul of Chess" and producing animations in the island studio. Work.

As a girl, the pressure on her cannot be said to be too great. Because of this, Meng Huo was surprised that she was so active in the production of "The Rozen Maiden".

"Don't force yourself." Meng Huo persuaded. As an ordinary person, Qin Ya is not suitable to become a workaholic like him. After thinking about it, Meng Huo felt that he could not continue to squeeze Qin Ya like this: "If the body Can't support it.

You can quit your job at Island Studios. "

His words startled Qin Ya.

"Teacher, you don't need me here anymore?"

Then, she asked with tears in her eyes.

"No... I just think this is too difficult for you." Meng Huo smiled wryly. Although Qin Ya is very important, he can still work harder. He is sure that he can complete the production of "The Rose Maiden" even without Qin Ya.

However, Qin Ya immediately refused: "No, I can bear it." She was used to staying in the island studio, and felt that she could bear it.

"Teacher, your training for me these past few years is not in vain." Qin Ya said confidently to Meng Huo, perhaps because she got too close to Meng Huo, Qin Ya felt that she was becoming more and more like a workaholic—— —Compared with working hard, she doesn't want to lose her job at the island studio.

Island Studios is Phoenix's premier animation division. The process of making each animation here is very good, and the process of making it is also a joy for the animators. And stay here. Qin Ya felt that when she encountered trouble in the production of the "Legend of the Galaxy Diva" animation, she could easily ask Meng Huo.

Of course—she had another idea.

"Teacher, if you want to reduce my burden, how about allowing me to borrow people from here to make "Legend of the Galactic Diva" in the future?"

Qin Ya said so, she plans to use the island studio to add experience and technology to the animation of "Legend of the Galactic Diva". As long as Meng Huo's permission is obtained, the painters in the island studio will listen to her, and she is equivalent to the deputy team leader here.

Meng Huo nodded: "Yes, yes, but you can't influence "The Rozen Maiden."

This is a good idea. The distance between the two studios is so close, and the exchange of personnel can increase interaction and help each other. And as long as you grasp* the measure, this matter will not cause much trouble to the painters.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Qin Ya jumped up happily. She was about to give Meng Huo a warm hug, but Meng Huo suddenly received a call and reached out to stop her action.

"Hello, Mr. Sasaki?...It's not easy to arrange? No...It's okay, please try your best...Yes, if it doesn't work, then you can only put it at night...It doesn't matter, it seems that the Suhua TV station is not very easy to arrange , I can understand you..."

Meng Huo talked with the person on the phone for a few minutes with a serious expression, and then hung up the phone with regret.

Qin Ya rolled her eyes and guessed the content of the phone call: "Teacher, was that the premiere of "The Rozen Maiden Overture" just now?"

"Yeah." Meng Huo rubbed his brows: "It's a bit difficult. The date of the first broadcast has been decided, but the length of the prelude is too long, and it is difficult for the TV station to arrange it to be broadcast on the original animation time slot."

The original work of "The Rozen Maiden Prelude" is composed of two special chapters. Because it is the prequel and supplement of the animation, Meng Huo thought it would be best to finish it in one episode—he re-supplemented and arranged the story of the prelude, Combined into one episode totaling 60 minutes.

However, in this way, "The Rozen Maiden Prelude" will conflict with the animation time of the TV station, which is not easy to arrange.

Although Suhua and Tokyo TV stations wanted to cooperate with Meng Huo as much as possible, it was difficult for the two directors to convince the various departments under them. After all, the original animation was scheduled to be broadcast during the prime time in the evening. This time period is the prime time after get off work and school. Every TV station has very important programs. For example, the Ninghai Evening News is reported after the animation is broadcast, and the CCTV News is also not long after.

For these key programs, the TV station cannot easily change the broadcast time. Either "The Rozen Maiden Overture" will be broadcast a few hours in advance, or it will have to find a time to broadcast at night. And of course it is impossible in advance, during work and school. TV ratings are the lowest.

"Look at it for a few more days. If there is really no way, then it can only be left at night."

Meng Huo sighed that the directors were still trying to figure out a way for him, but he felt that if it was really forced, it would be better to arrange it to be broadcast at night. Anyway, when the "Rozen Maiden" animation is officially launched, it will be broadcast at the same time as other animations.

"..." Qin Ya frowned. She couldn't get involved in this matter, but she felt that the reason was that "The Rozen Maiden Overture" was too long: "Teacher, can't you shorten the plot? 60 minutes How about making a movie!"

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right. Movies, the plot of "The Rozen Maiden Overture" can be made into an animated movie, I think it's pretty good!"

"The Rozen Girl Prelude" tells the story of the first meeting between the first puppet Mercury Lamp and the fifth puppet Zhenhong, and the process of turning against each other. It tells the mysterious bond between the two, and the reason why Mercury Lamp and Zhenhong are enemies. The Alice game where dolls fight each other will also be introduced.

The plot of this episode of animation is tortuous and charming. Qin Ya immediately fell in love with the setting of this animation after seeing the script. She felt that if it was made into an animated film, it would definitely be a hit.

It's a pity that Meng Huo shook his head: "I also thought about animated movies. But I can't keep up with time."

"Rozen Maiden" will be broadcast soon, so there is no time to make a movie.

Qin Ya did not give up: "Then put forward "Prelude" first. Make the feature film of the animation first, and then make the story of the prelude later. This story can also be broadcast in the later stage of the animation!"

Qin Ya saw that the plot of the prelude could be placed after the animation ended without knowing the original work, which surprised Meng Huo a little.

"I can't put it in the back." But he still refused with a smile: "DreamWorks has fully booked this year's movies."

However, Qin Ya didn't take it seriously: "Isn't it the theatrical version of "Pocket Fairy"? It can be done after the movie is over, so don't rush to do it now."

The theatrical version of "Little Fairy" will be released in a few months, and it will not be later than the end of the year. Qin Ya thinks that this time interval is not a problem at all, and the movie "Rozen Maiden Prelude" is worth waiting for half a year.

Meng Huo showed a wry smile, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Actually, it's not just "The Little Fairy", the next movie has also been decided, Alice and the others are looking forward to that movie, the plot of "The Rozen Maiden Overture" After all, it’s still a little thin, maybe not as good as it.”

After the success of "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century", Phoenix has actually confirmed the plans for the next two films, and even has alternate choices for the third and fourth films-but these news have not been announced, but the first Sooner or later, other people in the company would know about the second part, and Meng Huo felt that it was okay to reveal something.

"what movie?"

Sure enough, Qin Ya's interest was immediately hooked.

"...um... the theatrical version of "Magic Girl Madoka"." Meng Huo whispered, and then told Qin Ya not to leak it. This is also a movie he has been looking forward to for a long time: "This theatrical version will be released early next year. It will be released, and it may also be used as a Lunar New Year film."

"Magic... Magical Girl Madoka..."

Qin Ya opened her eyes wide and stuttered a little, oh my god, it turned out to be "Magic Girl Madoka"! This was really unexpected, and if the news got out, it would definitely cause an uproar in the society.

"Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is a masterpiece! Even after two years, its "heroic deeds" are still often reported. It was born together with "The Flame Boy", and surpassed "The Flame Boy" in ratings as a mere short original animation, which is also full of miracles today!

When "Magic Girl Madoka" was broadcast, Qin Ya hadn't come to Phoenix Company yet, but she was also following this animation at that time, and she was so impressed by it. From the inexplicable at the beginning to the various twists and turns in the later period, it can be said that the development process of this animation is a process of constantly subverting the audience's imagination, and it is also praised by some fans of He Xi as He Xi's first masterpiece.

Especially in recent years, although the popularity of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" has declined, its mythological light has become more and more prosperous. "Boys of Flame", which was its defeat at the beginning, is now a super-popular animation at the national level, and it even shows the horror of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" back then.

"Teacher, are you kidding?" Qin Ya swallowed: "You really want to make "Magic Girl Madoka"? Are you planning to collide with "Fire Boy" again?"

She was extremely surprised, but this surprise was not only due to the factors of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" itself, but also because of a news that is now well known-"Holy Boys" is also creating an animated film.

Part of the plot of this movie has been revealed a lot before. It tells the story of a heavenly sword. According to Meng Huo, the relationship between the movie and animation of "Flame Boy" is like that of fairy tales and martial arts. film relationship.

Qin Ya didn't understand the specific meaning of this comparison, but she could also see the terrifying power of the "Fire Boys" movie. This movie was originally planned to be produced, but it was suddenly announced that the plan was aborted last month-the reason was because The background is too strong, Zhong Xia gave up the idea of ​​completing one film, and planned to make two films "first" and "lower".

The last movie will be broadcast at the same time as "Pocket Fairy", and the next movie will be broadcast at the beginning of next year—according to Meng Huo's plan, it will be broadcast at the same time as the theatrical version of "Magic Girl Madoka".

Qin Ya felt that she was a little dizzy, and "Pocket Fairy" was fine. Could it be that Meng Huo planned to let "Magic Girl Madoka" block the "Fire Boy" movie again?

This is too... dangerous!

"Teacher, the current "Fire Boy" is not the previous "Fire Boy"!?" Qin Ya had a headache. "Magic Girl Madoka" did win back then. The popularity of the two-year serialization is far from comparable to that of the day.

In this case, didn't the release of the movie "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" deliberately give Zhong Xia and Angel a chance to "revenge"?

"...Actually, I haven't considered "Fire Boy"."

Meng Huo was stunned by Qin Ya's question, and then smiled and said, in fact, the production of "Magic Girl Madoka" has nothing to do with "Fire Boy", and the collision between the two was just accidental.

"I have wanted to make this movie for a long time, but I have never had the manpower and time." He added: "It has been a long time since the animation of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" has ended, and it will be more popular if it is made this year. Years, it will get less attention."

Another reason is that Meng Huo judged that this year he has spare time to make "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", but next year will be more difficult. (To be continued..)
