Chapter 255 Daily Life
For the upcoming summer, major animation companies have various plans.
Originally, the animation of Natsume's Book of Friends was just one example of many comics and light novels in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.
Not only Shuiyuan, but also the seven other manga clubs in the magic capital, basically every year, many manga works are adapted into animations.
But inexplicably, Natsume's Book of Friends is putting a lot of pressure on companies that are preparing to show their strength in the summer animation market.
Although today's Chu Yu is considered a threshold for first-line cartoonists in the comics industry, there are many more influential cartoonists than Chu Yu's.
But in the animation industry. Shui Xin's name is already very famous in the industry.
Although I have participated in the production of three animation works, the worst result of these three works is the Unheard Flower Name with an average episode volume of 9 million
This is really nonsense.
In Long Kingdom, the normal popular animation is the average set of four or five million, and the works that can reach the average set of seven or eight million will not produce a few works a year.
And the animation works with an average of tens of millions of broadcasts are the top works of the Dragon Kingdom in the true sense. In the past ten years, there have been 16 works like the Dragon Kingdom.
Nine of them appeared together in the magical year of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry in 2013. In that year, the Dragon Kingdom animation world had a fight between gods and gods.
Except for the special circumstances of that year, in the other nine years, there were only seven animation works with an average episode of over 10 million views, and on average, one such work may not be produced in one year.
In the two years of 2020 and 2021, there is not a single such work, and there are only three animation works that are closest to the data of 10 million views per episode in these two years.
"The Hermit" in 2020 has an average of 9.13 million views. "Unknown Flower Name", which will be broadcast in 2021, has an average of 9.2 million episodes. It is also an animation work that will be broadcast in 2021. At the same time, it is also named "The Adventure of the Devil", which is rated as the new animation popularity king in 2021, with an average of 9.7 million episodes.
It is for this reason that in January 2022, when the two works of five centimeters per second and the voice of the stars have exceeded 10 million in the number of animations, all practitioners in the animation industry of Longguo are basically discussing these two works everywhere. The topic of the works, and the biggest contributors behind the success of these two works, Huang Ming and Shui Xin.
It is a pity that although the data of the two works are so beautiful, the same, their shortcomings are also brought out.
If the two works are the kind of quarterly animations, with such an average number of episodes, their influence in the Dragon Kingdom may be several times greater than they are now, and Shui Xin and Huang Ming can also rely on these two works. God of War.
It is much harder for such a short story to succeed than a long story. After success, the revenue and influence of short stories are not as good as those of long stories under the same average broadcast score of episodes. Animation is very rare.
But in any case, Shui Xin's screenwriting strength has been unanimously recognized by people in the industry. It is terrifyingly strong.
His current achievements in the lower-limit works of Longguo animation industry are unheard of, which is already a height that normal animation practitioners cannot reach in their lifetime.
That's why, for Shui Xin, a cartoonist who likes to stir up troubles in the animation industry, his comic animation "Natsume Friends Book" broadcast in April, it is difficult for companies not to correct their attitudes, and many animations. The website directly named Natsume Friends Account as a strong contender for the summer animation popularity championship.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Nine Stars, the animation adaptation company of Natsume's Book of Friends, also has a headache. For the thirteen episodes of the first season of Natsume's Book of Friends, the budget given by Nine Stars is not much, only a medium production cost of 20 million.
But inexplicably, it is regarded as a rival by those animation works that invest 30 to 40 million in the same industry, and the manga fans of Natsume Friends Book are also very much looking forward to the quality produced by Natsume Friends Book. .
For the two works, 5 Centimeters Per Second and Voice of the Stars, the script and music are provided by Shui Xinshen for free for the boss. The production staff are not only skilled in the industry, but also cheap.
And on the screen, it is said that the water center takes over the design of most of the beautiful scenes.
It is not difficult to spend money to find someone to paint the picture exquisitely and with a higher frame rate.
But where do you go to find another wallpaper, Maniac Water Heart, to design the background of the work to make the picture look as beautiful as art?
In this regard, the animation production team of Natsume Friends Book is also under great pressure. They are facing such great expectations from their peers and fans, and the budget is not high. If they did a good job, everyone will definitely think that Shui Xin's plot creation ability is the only one. The key to success, if the production is not good, Natsume's friends account will be thrown into the street
Renshuixin pulls an animation team composed of a group of social wanderers. It invests 5 million to produce four episodes of animation and can achieve an average of 10 million yuan. The script of the same person will be handed over to you, and 20 million will produce 13 episodes of animation. Did you go down the street?
Who the audience will scold, the answer is already very clear.
But anyway, February is coming to an end soon, and March is coming.
The climate is gradually getting warmer, and after such a long period of double-opening comics, Chu Yu's work efficiency has improved a lot.
His current work situation has become one day to work overtime to draw two cartoons, and then to rest the next day, and so on and so forth. It counts as four days of work a week, and then three days of no work to go about daily life. But even so, Chu Yu's The manga drawing has never been delayed.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Chu Yu doesn't have to spend a lot of time thinking about the plot when copying the original work, but more importantly, the novice rewards that the system originally sent are powerful.
The skill that was given for free by the system to improve the efficiency of comic drawing is now a magical skill, and as his proficiency in drawing comics increases, its utility also increases. Chu Yu roughly estimates that without this skill, he would The work efficiency is probably less than one-third of what it is today.
After all, people are not machines, and they will always make mistakes, but this skill can make Chu Yu's hand like a machine, accurately and quickly draw the picture that he wants to draw in his mind. , this is the influence of the laws of physics, it is useless to have a plug-in.
However, when he is full of energy, if Chu Yu is not prepared to modify the original picture in his mind and copy it directly, the speed will be very fast, but Chu Yu now has his own understanding of comics, and some of the original pictures he thinks can be improved. He will improve himself. Nowadays, the most time-consuming places for him to draw comics are in these places.
Anyway, the current Chu Yu can no longer be described as a tentacle monster. The general comic tentacle monster would have to kneel down and call him big brother when looking at the precision and speed of his paintings.
It took two days for Chu Yu's two assistants to complete the post-production work of the comic draft that he completed by himself in one day.
In their hearts, they screamed that Chu Yu was not a human being. This was not meant to scold Chu Yu, but just like the literal meaning, they felt that Chu Yu was not a human being.
However, in the middle of March, the two of them were not the only ones who scold Chu Yu for not being human.
After the serialization of Initial D of the new issue yesterday, under Chu Yu's Weibo, everyday fans started to riot again.
