"Buying the Promised Flower in the Time of Parting", an original animation film produced by P.A.WORKS.

One of the weird things about this movie is that its supervision is not a well-known supervisor in the industry, but a scripter, also known as "Okama" Okada Mori.

It is really brave to let a scripter act as the supervisor, but it is also enough to show P.A.'s trust in Okada Mauri.

Of course, Mori Okada did not paint the storyboard alone. Although she did not participate in the storyboard work at all, it was more often done with the help of others.

In addition, this animation has a deputy supervisor Toshiya Shinohara and a core supervisor Hiramatsu Shishi.

Shinohara Toshiya is the supervisor of "From the Calm Tomorrow", Hiramatsu is a master of painting, and he is responsible for the character design of the animation "Spell Return".

Although "Spell Back to Battle" is adapted from a comic, there are comics as a reference, but the reference is not copied, and it takes a high level of painting to be responsible for this kind of work.

Just like in "White Box", the second animation made by Musashino was obviously adapted from a manga, but the character design was stuck for a long time, and even the girl in charge was almost crazy.

In short, the assistant supervisor or core supervisor of this animation is quite capable.

In terms of music, Kenji Kawai is in charge. There are too many works by Kenji Kawai. I won’t talk about animations such as "Ghost in the Shell". "Question", "Di Renjie the God of Dragon King".

In addition to these few people, the others are Yuriko Ishii, who is in charge of setting and the chief painting supervisor, Tochi Kazuo, who is the art supervisor, and Akihiko Yoshida who is the original role. The first two are from "From a calm tomorrow", and the latter The author's work is the "Royal Knights" series.

Because Okada Muri is a fan of Yoshida Akihiko, he was asked to take on the role of the original plan for the role of "Asaka and Evening Oath".

It is also worth mentioning that Ryuki Nagai and Masakah Tanaka also participated in the production of this animation. The former is responsible for the performance, and the latter is the assistant of the painting supervision, which is the painting supervision in the scene of the birth of the character.

In the final analysis, although the supervisor is indeed Okada Mauri, the lineup at the bottom is quite impressive. With such a group of people, even if Okada Mauri is a script writer, he has not painted a storyboard, has not acted as a performer, and even less. Serving as a supervisor, as long as you are not arrogantly not listening to other people's opinions, then it is not a big problem.

However, if you want to say how successful this animation is, you can't talk about it. Many people complain about its rhythm, or say that there is too much content to express, which leads to a feeling of not being concise and clear.

After all, Okada Muri used to write scripts for TV animation or theatrical version of TV animation. This kind of original animation film is a bit different from the theatrical version of TV animation and TV animation.

The rhythm is not well controlled, and it is not concise and clear, which is normal.

Not only her, but some other animation masters, and TV animations are doing very well, and when it comes to independent animation movies, it overturns.

Moreover, this is not a rollover, but it does have a small problem.

Although it cannot be said that it will not affect its evaluation at all, it is not a big problem in general.

This has just moved into the field of independent animation films, and Takagi Makoto dare to do this animation. At this time, there are so little flaws, which is justified.

Of course, I won't talk about it during production. Before the show, the audience must be vaccinated.

In any case, the plan for the new animation is determined.

In the next few days, Takagi Makoto didn't go to the company, and he made plans, wrote scripts, and set up people directly at home.

More than a week passed in a flash.

Monday, December 1.

Gao Mu Chengcai went to Baige with relevant plans, scripts, and personal settings.

Unfortunately, Kawano Akino happened to be in a meeting.

However, the problem was not big. Takagi Makoto waited directly in Kawano Akino's office until Kawano Akino finished the meeting and returned to the president's office, and he gave the entire file bag to Kawano Akino.

"This is...?" Kawano Akino looked at the file bag in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

"The new animation project, I will do it myself." Takagi Makoto explained a little bit.

Kawano Akino didn’t react for a while, because Makoto Takagi hadn’t told her before. She thought Makoto Takagi came with WA’s new project or a gloomy animation project that she wanted to sell to other companies. , And in the past for new projects for WA, Shirai Yoshima at WA will be selected for the reporting time, and will not suddenly come.

After listening to Takagi Makoto's explanation, she finally reacted. Then, she found a place to sit down, opened the file bag, took out the information inside, and looked through it silently.

Takagi Makoto poured a cup of tea on his own and waited silently while drinking tea.

After a while, I heard Kawano Akino say: "This theme, this project, I don't think it will have a high box office."

"I know."

Makoto Takagi nodded, "This kind of story telling of encounter and parting is set in a fantasy world, not a modern city, there is no supernatural power, there is no sword and magic, and there is no visually exciting battle scene. This will certainly not have a high box office, but compared to commercial animation films, this animation is more biased towards literary and artistic animation films."

Commercial films are very different from literary films.

The former is mainly to hit the high box office, and winning prizes is only incidental. The latter generally does not consider the high box office when it is done. It is successful to win a few prizes.

In another world, the animation "The Oath in the Morning" has won several awards, but mainly international awards.

Even at the 91st Academy Awards, this animation was shortlisted for the Best Animated Feature Film Award. Unfortunately, it was only shortlisted and failed to win the final award.

Commercial films need visual stimulation, while literary films do not. Akino Kawano is very clear about this.

She just said casually that she has worked with Takagi Makoto for so many years, and now no matter what animation Makoto Takagi wants to do, she will not object.

Even if Makoto Takagi wants to make a loss-making animation, she has to think about it at most, and in the end she will definitely follow the investment and help release it.

She looked at the information in her hand again, and then asked: "Why would you suddenly want to make such a story? I have a child and suddenly want to sing maternal love?"

"No, this animation is not mainly about maternal love." Takagi Makoto quickly denied.

"Well, that's true."

Kawano Akino didn't think too much, "Okay, anyway, do what you want, and I will cooperate well with what I should cooperate with."
