Chapter 537 "Miss Mary" In Production
"President, this is the first three episodes of "Ms. Mary" submitted by Mr. Soru."
Wen Che Yao Fei took out the file from the file bag and handed it to Kamiya Kawa.
Suru is actually the screenwriter Miyake Chiaki.
This writer was killed in the burial incident before, and now he has become a ghost story and joined Kamiya's forces to work.
The original pen name "Hypochromatic" was abandoned by him and replaced with the new pen name "Suru".
And to say something a little bit outrageous: After Mr. Miyake became a ghost story, his creative efficiency has increased a lot compared to when he was alive, and it has increased exponentially...
After all, the body of a ghost story does not need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate, and only needs to rest occasionally to be able to work in full condition.
It is simply a worker chosen by God.
The plan for the first season of "Ms. Mary" arranged six relatively independent unit plots, each of which was divided into two episodes to create, and there will be a total of 12 episodes.
And the scripts for the first three episodes, half of the plot volume, were written by Miyake Chiaki in just over a month.
Obviously, the plot has been carefully polished, and the plot is very smooth and fascinating.
The character setting of the protagonist Miss Mary is also very likable.
Her mood is uncertain, and the two sides of the character setting of joy and blessing and anger and punishment are contrasted; there is also a little bit of poisonous tongue and tsundere personality in daily state, especially where to be "arrogant" and where to be "coquettish" are just right, very delicate, adding a lot of charm to this character.
Exquisite tsundere will never retreat from the environment!
Anyway, Chiaki Miyake's creative skills are there.
Talent will not betray him, even if he becomes a ghost story.
Wen Che Yao Fei and other members of the GENIE studio have read the script before, and these professionals have highly evaluated the plot and character setting.
Like Mr. Kasai, who is currently the animation director, he has a good qualification in the industry. He was full of concerns about joining GENIE, an unknown animation workshop, but after reading the script submitted by Wen Che Yao Fei, he immediately signed the employment contract.
From his experience, it can be seen that the script of the first three episodes of "Miss Mary" is of high quality. As long as the subsequent three episodes can maintain this quality and do not do anything fancy, it will definitely be a very successful script.
As long as the studio creates the plot content well, it can not guarantee that it can produce the strongest autumn series, but it can produce a top-level masterpiece that can leave a bright mark in the industry with serious internal competition.
Mr. Kawanishi has some qualifications in the industry, but he does not have any good works to his name.
It is no exaggeration to say that "Miss Mary" may be the best script he has come across so far. In the past, he would never be able to direct a script of this level.
This is an opportunity worth trying.
Wow.
In the conference room, there was only the sound of Kamiya River flipping through the materials.
He has been busy with the affairs of the Sea Country for more than a month, and this is the first time he has seriously read the script of "Miss Mary".
The title of the first episode of the story is "Lucky Fish".
It is based on the experience of Kamiya and others in exterminating red stingrays and anglerfish on Okuri Island.
The characters that appear are naturally changed. The villains in the first episode are not red stingrays and anglerfish, but a group of evil spirits called "Monga".
The rhythm of the story and the tension of the plot are also more dramatic, but the theme of "sacrificing human lives in exchange for a good harvest" is retained.
For the story of the first episode "Lucky Fish", the animation director Mr. Kawanishi has already prepared a storyboard script and presented it to Kamiya.
Depending on the director's personal style and habits, the final effect of the storyboard script is also very different.
Director Kawanishi's is a very detailed and serious type. Every shot is hand-drawn and carefully marked. Even an amateur like Kamiya Kawa can get a general idea.
The end of the story of "Lucky Fish" -
Miss Mary defeated the Monga entrenched on the island, but the lively little girl "Jia Shi" who was chosen as the "Lucky Fish" still died under the influence of the evil god.
The ending of this episode focuses on the heavy and sad atmosphere at Yoshi's funeral, and the strange expressions of sympathy and relief mixed with the islanders who attended the funeral; followed by the joyful scene of the fishermen going out to sea to catch a good harvest.
Then it came to an abrupt end.
As for the second and third episodes of "Miss Mary", the storyboards have not been created yet.
But Kamiyagawa also took the general story seriously.
The second episode tells the story of Dengwu Soba. Under the current social environment in Japan, this story should resonate well.
The theme of the third episode is about "lies and promises", which seems to be taken from the ghost story files of the Countermeasures Office. This episode is independent, but it leads to the main line. The biggest villain in the whole story, the dream-eating tapir, will make its initial appearance in this episode.
In addition, there are some character pictures that have not yet been finalized in the information.
Kamiyagawa's attention finally fell on the image of the dream-eating tapir character, and he looked at it for a long time before moving his eyes away.
This character...
These legs, these breasts, and this look that seems to want to eat people up.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
"This evil lady based on the little tapir... She's dressed up, but why does she look sexy? Especially with her legs together..."
The dream-eating tapir in the plot is completely different from the little tapir in the Kamiya family, but its ability to control dreams and panic emotions is impressive.
If this character becomes popular and his name matches the authority of the shrine, the little tapir will probably reap a lot of dividends and gain a lot of corresponding beliefs in reality.
As expected, Chiaki Miyake has fulfilled his boss's requirements and orders well, and he must have put a lot of effort into his character design.
After reading the confidential information from GENIE Studio in the conference room, Kamiya actually had only one thought in his heart -
Well, very good!
It feels like it is a finished product. Even if it is reported to TBS through some connections, the little witch who acts as the middleman will not feel troubled!
"As long as it doesn't make things difficult for Hotaru, it should be fine."
Kamiya thought so.
…
"President, what do you think?"
Seeing that Kamiya had put down the information, Mr. Hexi asked.
This middle-aged man with a high hairline seemed a little nervous and rubbed his hands unconsciously while speaking.
"Ah, very good. From now on, just continue to follow the arrangements of the general affairs lady. What she means is what I mean."
As expected, it was just for a layman to watch.
Although Kamiyagawa is the president and legal representative of GENIE Studio, his understanding of animation creation is far inferior to that of Fumaki Yaofei, who has systematically studied the corresponding knowledge and has an outrageous learning ability.
The president doesn't care about things, so he just acts as a hands-off shopkeeper.
Ms. "Shiori Kamiya", the general affairs officer, is the actual executive leader of the studio.
Originally, it was common for Kamiya not to be seen for a month once he got busy. It would be nice to show his face occasionally. The studio could only be managed by Wen Che.
Xiao Wenche and Mr. Miyake are the current pillars of GENIE studio.
One is in charge of creation and ensuring the quality of the work; the other is in charge of management and ensuring team operation.
How the studio can develop in the future depends entirely on the two of them.
After receiving the president's approval, Mr. Kasai looked at the general affairs lady opposite.
Princess Wenche just nodded to him.
I have already read the storyboard of the first episode. It is very good. It does not hinder the original script. Mr. Hexi, who is eager to achieve a good position in the industry, undoubtedly put in 120% of his energy.
Director Hexi: "That's good. The original painting is already being created based on the storyboards. If you, president, want to see samples, the uncolored footage of the first episode will be available in about a month."
"A month?"
"President, "Miss Mary" is our GENIE's first work after all. In order to build our reputation, the work inevitably needs to be carefully polished. The first episode directly affects the audience's initial perception, so in terms of time... …”
"Oh, no. I mean, it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer. You don't need to rush too much. You should do a good job in quality. Then, just let the general affairs lady take care of it." Kamiya made the first speech in this meeting. Important speech.
After hearing this, Director Hexi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little worried that the too young president would come up and give directions blindly with his passion.
Moreover, although GENIE Studio is small, it has invested a lot in "Uncertain Lady Mary". If the president loses his composure and is eager to see results, it will be very difficult for him to handle.
But fortunately, these problems do not exist.
President Kamiya seems to be the type of leader who delegates power.
Having such “irresponsible” leaders is not necessarily a bad thing. If there is a smart and capable subordinate in the company who can support efficient decision-making and operations, it may even be a good thing for the leader to delegate authority.
And there happens to be such a person in the GENIE studio——
Ms. Shiori Kamiya, General Manager.
Director Kasai has only worked with Ms. Kamiya for a few days, but he is already completely impressed by her work ability and attitude.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this Miss Kamiya is the most capable general manager he knows.
Not only the general affairs work, but also some production supervision, and even the small production work, she can handle it with ease, keeping everything in order, and can't find any faults.
One person can be used as several people.
Director Kasai sometimes wonders whether this Miss Kamiya is some kind of intelligent robot specially designed for work.
With Ms. Kamiya here, there is no need to worry about things inside the studio, and the coordination is very smooth.
To put it bluntly, in this case...it's okay to tie a dog in the position of president.
In other words, because the subordinate is so capable, it would be better to tie the dog?
Just as he was thinking this, Director Hexi suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
He looked up in panic.
In the conference room, the young president was still leaning on his chair and relaxing, as if he didn't care about anything.
On the contrary, the general affairs lady sitting opposite was looking at him with a cold look that was hard to describe.
Director Hexi became uneasy again for no reason. After the offensive thoughts were cleared from his mind, the chill in his body finally dissipated.
"I don't know why, but I feel like my inner thoughts have been completely seen through. I...it seems that it's better to respect this president who is willing to give us the greatest freedom in work, otherwise we may be punished by God?"
…
In this world, the country of the sea.
Tonight is the night of the hidden moon. It was supposed to be the day when the red tide came and Munakata Taisha Shrine rose.
But because of Kamiya River, neither of these things will probably happen.
On the coast of Okutsu Island, on a low cliff, a small red figure sat quietly facing the sea.
It was dusk in the Sea Country, and a magnificent scene appeared between the sea and the sky.
The sky was dyed golden red by the burning sunset, forming a sharp contrast with the deep blue color of the sea. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the ripples on the sea surface were shining with golden light, as if they were dancing with a ignited flame. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a cool and slightly salty sea breath.
"The sea has turned blue. It turns out... I haven't seen such a scene for a long time."
Kai Ji was lost in thought as she looked at the scene in front of her, and the soft yellow hair under the heavy star hood was blown by the sea breeze.
The red tide has not yet arrived, but the dark red of the ocean has retreated ahead of time.
This shows that he really did it, right?
He really didn't just talk about saving the Sea Country and saving the Sea Clan.
"The god on Takamagahara...it turns out he is really that powerful."
Kaihime thought so, and for some reason she suddenly felt a little lonely. She raised her hand blankly and touched the slightly crooked crab shell star bag on her head.
After sitting for an unknown period of time, Kaihime suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her: "Little Can, are you looking at the scenery?"
She turned around and saw Kamiya Kawa standing not far away. His black feather woven cloth fluttered in the wind, and the pattern of his gorgeous clothes was dimmed in the afterglow of the sunset, giving his tall and clear figure a golden halo.
"You, you're here?"
Kaihime stood up from the ground with a chuckle.
"Yeah. Today is the night of the moon, right? Of course I have to come. Didn't I ask the old man to say hello to you in advance? Isohime and the others will also come to Okutsu Island tonight."
"I know..."
Kamiya walked to the side of the little crab lady, also looked at the sparkling sea, and took a deep breath of the salty but refreshing air: "The sea is very beautiful."
"Really? I told you that the sea is very beautiful when it is not red. When I was a child, I could sit by the sea and be in a daze all day, doing nothing."
"Told me?" In Kamiya Kawa's impression, he did hear Crab Princess say something similar, but that was in the first week. "Little Can, do you remember what happened before?"
As he said that, he also knocked on Crab Princess's star bag very skillfully and smoothly.
Dongdong
"Ugh..." Crab Princess quickly held her head and protested with bared teeth, "Don't knock my helmet! This is obviously the symbol of my warrior, not your toy! And don't call me Little Can! You, you, you are so mean! I have remembered that I have never taken the initiative to stick my head out for you to knock! You lied to me!"
"Ha."
Kamiya smiled but said nothing.
Looking at Little Can, it seems that he really remembered what happened before.
This should be considered a good thing, right?
Maybe it means that the Sea Country is really slowly returning to normal?
"Don't laugh, you are so annoying!"
"How much of the previous things do you remember?"
"Some, most of them are vague, but the ones related to you are clearer, probably because you have the fragments of Yu Zhang on you."
"So it seems that you remember that we are good friends?"
"I also remember that you kept bullying me when you saw me for the second time!" Crab Princess argued with a red face.
"That's also a sign of a good relationship."
"Really?" Crab Princess's momentum weakened a little, "You... don't think I'm easy to talk to and lie to me again, I've learned my lesson this time."
"Of course it's true."
"Hmm..." Crab Princess stared at Shen Gu for a while, "Anyway, anyway, you are the great benefactor of the Sea Country, so it's true if you say so. And then--hey!"
As she said that, she suddenly took a step back without warning and jumped up, and her hard head hit Shen Gu's chest with a bang, and then stuffed something into Shen Gu Chuan's arms, and hurriedly ran away with the big conch hammer, leaving only a sentence: "I'm going back to the tribe, see you later!"
The little can ran away in a flash.
"This guy."
Shen Gu Chuan, who stayed in place, rubbed his chest and lowered his head.
Just then, he saw two beautiful conches rolling at his feet.
There was also a handful of smooth pebbles falling from his body, and the pebbles scattered on the ground and bounced and shook slightly, shining under the last ray of sunlight in the sky.
