ALL NOVEL Chapter 426
Chapter 426 Set a small goal: 10 billion
Monday, May 21.
In the afternoon, inside the DOS president’s office.
After some greetings, Makoto Takagi asked Asada Kako to sit down, and then listened to Asada Kako say: “President Takagi’s new animation this time has been produced in too long a cycle. For so long, I once doubted whether it was a dystocia.”
“Yes?”
Makoto Takagi smiled, “In fact, it’s okay. Although I almost started the conception of the new animation “Your Name” after I finished “The Oath of Morning Flower”, it took less than two and a half years before and after. time.”
“But your previous animations didn’t take so long.”
“The previous animation was different.”
“Meaning, your animation this time is more serious than before?”
“That’s not the case. “Your Name” is the third animated movie I have made. The first two, “Rebellious Story” belong to the theater version of the TV animation “Magic Girl Madoka Magica”. The related settings are early. It’s done, and it can save a lot of effort. It took me a long time for “The Oath of the Flower and the Evening”, but this time all the layouts of “Your Name” were drawn by me.”
“Layout?”
“It’s the design draft. After we finish drawing the storyboard, we usually need a dedicated person to draw it into a design draft. The purpose is to refine every detail in the picture. I didn’t have so much time before, although the storyboard I drew it, but the design draft was drawn by someone else, but this time, the entire design draft was drawn by myself.”
“Doesn’t it take a lot of time?”
“Yes, it can be said that I have been drawing this design for the first year, almost the entire year.”
In fact, it didn’t take a whole year to draw a design draft, but it was almost the same.
This is because Gao Mucheng has content in his mind and can be drawn directly by comparison. Otherwise, this workload, plus his other tasks, may take a year and a half to complete.
In another world, the original “Your Name”, Xin Haicheng did not need to draw a design draft in three years to complete, Takagi Makoto completed it in less than two and a half years, in fact, it is already very fast.
Although Kako Asada is not an animator, she has interviewed many animators, so she doesn’t know anything about design drafts.
However, she still couldn’t help asking: “In the past, the animation was done by someone else, and the quality has always been high. It means that there should be no problem in finding someone else to paint? If that’s the case, why don’t you find someone else to paint this time? , But want to paint by yourself?”
“Indeed, it’s okay to find someone else to paint. I haven’t heard of anyone who supervises their own design drafts, but they can control every detail more precisely when they paint by themselves… The animations that viewers and friends saw in the past may be 70% of the content is what I want them to see, and now, about 90% of the content is what I want them to see.” Takagi Makoto explained.
“In other words, this animation may be purer and more in line with the ideas in your mind?” Asada Kako “translated” according to her own understanding.
“Yes, that’s what it means.”
Makoto Takagi nodded, “If I used the previous animation, I probably used 80% of the skill, then this time the animation, I should have used 12% of the skill.”
Asada Xiangzi was stunned for a moment.
This wonderful metaphor made her secretly amused.
Of course, in fact, she did not laugh, but followed Takagi Makoto’s words and said: “Since you have used twelve percent of your skill, what is your expected goal for this new animation? Some netizens think this A new animation may have a box office of 5 billion or even 8 billion. What do you think? Do you have this confidence?”
“8 billion? No, no confidence, no confidence at all.” Takagi Makoto shook his head slightly.
“That 5 billion…”
“5 billion is even more unconfident.”
“???”
Asada Xiangzi suddenly felt a little confused.
8 billion is no confidence, 5 billion is even less confident? what is this?
Is it relatively easy to reach 8 billion at the box office, but 5 billion is even more difficult?
I don’t understand, but she only considered Makoto Takagi to say something wrong.
As her mind turned, she said, “President Takagi is really humble…”
“Sorry, I haven’t finished speaking yet.” Takagi Makoto raised his hand and interrupted Asada Kako’s words.
Asada Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, and then said: “You continue talking.”
“uh-huh.”
Makoto Takagi cleared his throat, and then continued: “Didn’t you just ask me about my expected goals for the new animation? The animation has not yet been released. I am not sure how much box office it can get, but I do decide for myself. A small goal is to become a tens of billions box office supervisor first.”
“Uh…” Asada Kako was caught off guard.
After the reaction came, she said, “You mean, do you think the box office of this new work may exceed the 10 billion yen mark?”
“I dare not say that I will break through, but this is my small goal.” Takagi Makoto responded with a smile.
Asada Kako: “…”
It turns out that she didn’t hear it wrong just now, and Takagi Makoto didn’t say anything wrong.
This guy thinks that the box office of “Your Name” will definitely exceed 8 billion, so “reaching 8 billion” becomes a thing of lack of confidence, so he has no confidence in “reaching 5 billion”, even in theory, as long as If it exceeds 8 billion, then the two achievements of “over 5 billion” and “over 8 billion” can also be achieved at the same time.
I know that Makoto Takagi is pretending to be compelling, but she is not easy to be too shameless when she is finally pretending to be.
She did not argue with Takagi Makoto, and changed the subject: “This time the new work, the publicity slogan is “Looking for you who I have never seen before”, and the content is the love story produced by the exchange of the souls of the male and female masters. Many people on the Internet They all expressed their interest in this subject and look forward to it, so can you ask, where did you get the inspiration for your new work this time?”
“Well…”
While thinking about it, Makoto Takagi said: “In fact, there have been episodes of male and female swapping bodies in movies in the last century, but “Your Name” is still a bit different from those movies. The point is not that it was produced after gender conversion. Annoyance, but annoyance about the other person’s affairs.”
After a pause, he said, “It is precisely because I am troubled by another person’s affairs that I want to meet another person to have love. This is how we use “Looking for you who I have never seen before” as our promotional slogan. The reason. In addition, there is a Japanese song I don’t know if you have listened to it.”
“What Japanese song?” Asada Kako asked quickly.
“‘When you meet in a dream, you don’t see anyone. If you know it is a dream, why do you have to wake up? Even if you often meet in a dream, how can it be like seeing once?” Part of the inspiration for the creation of “Your Name” came from this Japanese song.” Gao Mucheng replied road.
This Japanese song was originally one of the inspiration sources for Xin Haicheng to create “Your Name”.
In this world where Takagi Makoto is now, this waka also exists, so he doesn’t need to make it up.
