Chapter 158. Production Team of 'Midnight Bell' (4000 words)
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me and Toda. It's not that we are both proud, but we have more experience than you, Higashino."
Honhashi Yoshihiro said to Higashi with a smile.
The other party’s storyboard picture book is indeed very good, but the composition is still a bit rigid. It can be seen that the other party should have learned it from the textbooks of those storyboard picture book.
But this will bring a little rigidity in textbooks, and experienced animation scripters will be more natural.
Toda Shikami next to him nodded in agreement after hearing what Honhashi Yukihiro said: "You can ask us some problems that cannot be solved."
Once the overall outline of the animation script is available, the next step is to polish the script.
After all, all the work in the early stages must be done around the finished product of Higashinoji, the animation script. Of course, they hope that the final product of the script can be better.
And Higashinoji did not refuse their statement - the other party did not interfere in his script creation, but just said that he would help, which could be said to have given him enough face on this point.
Higashinoji naturally agreed.
He also discussed the "Midnight Bell" script issue with Toda Shikami and Shikami Honhashi.
It has to be said that Toda Shikami and Honhashi Shikyuhiro are indeed a bit real. They pointed out several problems in Higashinoji scripts, and also focused on analyzing how to solve these problems for Higashinoji.
For example, some places have stiff connections, they suggested that Higashinoji go and see some well-made animated movies to see how famous supervisors use mirror connections.
This discussion lasted for an hour. Higashinoji thanked him and left Tokyo Animation Production Company with Koharu Hosokawa.
As for Toda Shikami and Honhashi Shikami...?
After that, Honhashi Yuhiro had to pull up the production team of "Midnight Bell" and set a list, while Toda Shikami had to confirm the candidates and financial issues listed on Honhashi Yuhiro's form. To be honest, it is easier for Higashinoji to modify the script.
"The Higashino is not bad." Motohiro Honhashi remembered Higashinoji just now and said with a smile to Toda Shikami beside him.
"Well... he's a pretty good young man." Toda Shikami nodded.
The other party has a good attitude, and he does not have the impetuousness of young people at all.
The two of them are in the industry, and actually know many young people with impetuous mentality. Those people want to tinker with an animated movie in two or three months to create a so-called "industry miracle".
Honhashi Yukihiro and Toda Shimizu have scolded each other for how many times they think they are the "light of the industry".
But Higashinoji is different. Although the other party is a famous comic writer and Kumamoto designer, he can't feel the slightest sense of impetuousness from him and is very down-to-earth.
"Next, let's see how well Higashino can modify the animation script."
Honhashi Shinhashi estimated that Higashinoji would have to go back and repair it two or three times before he could finally finalize the animation script.
After all, many shortcomings in the past are quite conspicuous.
Of course, there are advantages, that is, Higashinoji's storyboard is very refreshing and straightforward, and it can be turned on one page without pause, making people feel very comfortable to see.
Honhashi Masahiro thought that if he trained it, he might become a particularly famous animation scripter.
Of course, this is just thinking about it.
"That's too far." Honhashi Yokohiro smiled and shook his head.
Yes, it's too far.
Higashinoji is just starting out on the road to animation footage, and it still takes time to settle down.
Then...
Two days later, Higashinoji came to his door with a revised animation script.
"So fast?" Honhashi Yukihiro and Toda Shimitaka finished the meeting with the production team found and were preparing to go to have a meal after get off work, but Higashiji came to him.
When they heard Higashinoji come to report the progress, both of them were a little lost. This was too fast, right?
Honhashi's fat middle-aged face showed a smile and said politely: "Brother Higashino, you are so fast... I modified the animation script so quickly, and I and Toda didn't expect it."
It was very soon. I just praised you for not being impetuous at all two days ago, but today I slapped me in the face... This slap speed is too fast.
You know, just two days have passed, Higashinoji has modified the animation script? This speed is too fast.
But it's useless to just think about these things in your heart.
Honhashi Yoshihiro and Toda Shikami decided to take a look at the finished product modified by Higashinoji.
After all, my colleagues brought the things over, and it wouldn't be nice not to take a look at them...
They both flipped around and found the conversation between the male protagonist Ryuji Takayama and the female protagonist Reiko Asagawa.
"Because I'm a freak?" Takayama Ryushi lowered his head and held the meal in his voice, his voice calm.
Reiko Asakawa half sat on the ground, her face full of grief - she had only two days of life. If she could not ask Sadako about it from Ikena Hirahachiro's mouth, whether it was her or her son, she would be killed by Sadako's curse.
She knew that she might have no way to survive, so she entrusted her son to Takayama Ryusi, hoping that he could find the truth and save his son.
However, Takayama Ryuji was very disgusted with her shirking responsibility and giving up hope, so this conversation arose.
"Maybe we shouldn't have given birth to Hoichi at that time..."
"The three of us will die together."
Then came the next few storyboards, the lights fell down, and the outside was silent, and the dark night made people feel uncomfortable...
"this...?"
Honhashi Yukihiro and Toda Shikami widened their eyes, looking as if they were surprised and there was nothing to do with it.
It’s not that the revised script is not good... it’s that the quality is so good that they both didn’t expect it for a moment, so they fell into the plot.
"What's wrong? Supervisor Honbashi? Deputy Supervisor Toda?" Higashinoji was waiting beside him. Seeing the two of them making a voice, he asked politely: "Do you think there are still shortcomings? This is of course. After all, it's only been revised for two days. Please correct me if there is anything wrong with it."
"Ah...this..."
Correction?
What else can I correct?
At least, Honhashi Yoshihiro and Toda Shikami couldn't find any corrective points, so it was fine to use this as a script to make it.
Honhashi Yukihiro and Toda Shikami looked at each other, and were about to tell Higashi that the animation script was qualified and could be used to adapt the script directly, but the next second, Higashi's words made them swallow their words again.
"Speaking of this, I actually want to modify some of the places. Can you please listen to my thoughts? Can you please help me with reference?"
"We still need to change..." Motohashi Yukihiro opened his mouth and closed his mouth halfway.
He looked at the animation script on the table again, and pondered - there was nothing to modify.
That's enough.
Their appearance made Higashinoji next to him a little strange. He repeatedly looked at the expressions of Honhashi Yukihiro and Toda Shikami: "Does Honhashi San and Toda Sang think this is enough?"
"cough..."
Honhashi Yuhiro and Toda Shikami were just bargains, and nodded honestly: "Toda and I think this is enough. If you say nothing, I want the author of the adapted version to come and take it away and directly adapt it."
They do think this is OK.
But in response to this, Higashinoji shook his head and said kindly: "After I received guidance from Honhashi Sang and Toda Sang, I felt that I had gained a lot of experience... This script can still be modified, so I will leave it to me to change it."
His tone was polite and sincere, making Honhashi Yukihiro on the side unable to help but grab his hair.
Many scripters have finally modified the script and basically will not take the initiative to work anymore. Unless he and Toda make requests to each other, the other party will move.
And he was moving very slowly. Sometimes, Motohashi wanted to use a whip to slap the butts of the people in charge of scripts.
But this is the first time they met with the authors like Higashinoji...
"If Brother Higashino had this idea, Toda and I would not object."
Honhashi said with a smile.
This is a good thing. Regardless of whether Higashinoji will make the script worse in the end, at least he has his work spirit here.
But just in case, he called a female employee in charge of printing to print the script Higashinoji and left a backup.
Higashinoji didn't care either. He just asked a few more questions to both of them before leaving, and then left with satisfaction.
Looking at his departure back, Motohashi Yuki could not help but speak: "I was joking before... Now I really think that Brother Higashino might really become a famous animation scripter."
Toda Shikami was originally a taciturn person, but after hearing what he said, he nodded with nodding with a rare expression of approval.
Just like this, the production team of the animation film "Midnight Bell" finally got Daohiro Honhashi started to pull up.
Color guidance, special effects, painting supervision...
These people are all acquaintances of Honhashi Shin-hiro Honhashi, and they are meant to deliberately promote them, but the main reason is that they are easy to use, unlike the grass-roots team outside, which is very difficult to command.
Their preparations were almost done. It was time to call Higashinoji and ask about the animation scripts there. By the way, let Higashinoji come over and make him familiar - if the production team doesn't even know who the main script is, then they will be messed up?
However, as soon as Motohashi Yuki's cell phone was taken, before he could speak, he was stopped by a familiar voice behind him.
"Man Motohashi, the animation script has been modified, and you happen to be in the main building... Let's take a look first."
The person who walked in from outside happened to be Higashiji.
"Ah... Brother Higashino, I won't talk about this for the time being. I'm just about to call you."
Honhashi Yasuhiro showed a warm smile. He was about to talk about his main script, but Higashiji came to him. Isn't this just right?
He quickly came forward and explained the current situation to Higashinoji.
"Show your face?" Higashinoji became interested when he heard this. He was still very curious about the main creative team that he would be pulled up next.
So he immediately took the lead in agreeing: "Then please let Honhashi Sang take me there."
The two of them talked while walking, and the main thing was about the production team of "Midnight Bell".
Higashinoji soon followed Hashimoto Yoshihiro into the affiliated building and walked through a noisy corridor.
On the edge of the corridor, Higashinoji even saw several animation supervisors pointing at the heads of some painters, and some supervisors even started to do it directly - knocking their heads with manuscripts.
Perhaps these artists are newcomers to the Tujing Animation Production Company, so it is normal to be scolded by the seniors like this. After all, Japan has always been in such a society, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is clearly distinguished.
When several small production supervisors saw Motohashi coming over, they came over with a smile and said hello. Even Higashiji, who was "unidentified", enjoyed this treatment. Many staff members came over and were very enthusiastic, bowed and greeted each other, calling the teacher one by one.
As a Celestial being in his previous life, Higashinoji naturally had never seen the current situation in the Japanese workplace, but he just smiled at him one by one.
"Brother Higashino seems to be quite uncomfortable with such occasions?" Honhashi Yokohiro took Higashinoji to turn the corner.
"Is it not very adaptable, or it's the first time I met him?" Higashinoji smiled and admitted that the pressure in Japan's workplace environment was just to see him. If he was working inside, he was afraid that his blood pressure would not be full.
"Haha, I still have many opportunities to see after working..." Motohiro Honhashi nodded, pressed the elevator, and took Higashinoji to the upper floor.
The environment on this floor is relatively quiet. Unlike the seasonal animation production that is updated on a weekly basis, this floor is where the production team stays for a long time.
Honhashi Yuhiro took Higashiji for a long distance, and then he arrived at a room with a whiteboard sign hanging on it, with a string of words written on it, ""Midnight Bell" production team."
Honhashi Yukihiro led Higashinoji into it. Before Higashinoji could look around, the circle of people sitting inside suddenly stood up.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
The sound of rehearsing in one go made Higashinoji stunned. When he came to his senses, he realized that these animation producers were greeting Honhashi Shinhashi.
"This is Shin-ji Higashino, the chief editor in charge of the script production of "Midnight Bell".
Honhashi Shimohiro was obviously very adapted to this situation, so he nodded and introduced.
The sound of one-smoothing sounded again, but the content suddenly changed: "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Higashino!"
As a member of the main creative team, Higashinoji is theoretically second only to the supervisor of Honhashi, so of course they have to be treated to him.
But Higashinoji is still a standard Chinese thought. In the past, even if the top leaders came to check the class, they would not have been like Japan. They suddenly stood up in a row and said, "Thank you for your hard work," and then they had to bow deeply?
Isn't this a mess?
But forget it, Higashinoji had experienced the feeling of being a master, so he smiled at them and nodded.
Chapter completed!
