Chapter 314: Trailer Breaks the Circle
This is also Lin Qingshan's personal suggestion. Although he did not participate in the complete production of "Chainsaw Man".
But as the original author, he still gave some suggestions.
For example, the focus of the "Chainsaw Man" animation is not the bloody battle scenes, nor the demons themselves, or the contract abilities of demon hunters.
It is the so-called "literary drama" part of "Chainsaw Man".
Like the death of Himeno in the previous "Chainsaw Man" animation and the subsequent "Easy Revenge" plot, they were actually done very well.
Including the plot adaptation of Hayakawa Aki smoking the cigarette at the end, they were all done very well.
So "Chainsaw Man" Donghai should generally be produced from this aspect.
After hearing it, Ming Yiyang and other main creative teams seemed to have listened to it, and they also quite recognized Lin Qingshan's suggestion.
Then there are a few points that stand out, showing Himeno's charm and the plot of being alone with Denji.
And the last part of the trailer now-Aki Hayakawa summons the fox demon to fight, and when this part of the trailer was broadcast, everyone was really satisfied.
"Handsome! A-Qiu!"
"Ahhhhh, Aki is so handsome! How can she be so handsome!"
"Ahhhhh, my husband Aki Hayakawa!"
"Apart from anything else, fans of the original work are very satisfied with this! It's so well made!"
"Aki is really handsome. I'm looking forward to the scene where she uses Kass's ability."
"The original work is awesome! The animation production team is awesome!"
"Handsome! In exchange for a layer of skin!"
"It's a good deal to exchange for a layer of skin for a fox's attack. Look at the price of a ghost demon's attack."
"Hhhhh, in the trailer, Aki looks more like the protagonist."
"Chainsaw Man is actually a group portrait comic. Although Denji is the male protagonist, the other characters are very charming!"
"This is a comic in which only the name of the comic is left after the death (funny)."
"Master Kishibe: What? I'm not a human? Am I a human or not!"
...
Zhou Wenwei looked at the content of the barrage, and generally he was very satisfied with and looking forward to the animation of Chainsaw Man.
Indeed, judging by the current animation trailer, it is simply awesome, especially the last part where Aki Hayakawa summons a fox, so awesome!
When this trailer was broadcast, some fans and cosplayers of "Chainsaw Man" had already started to customize Aki Hayakawa's cosplay clothes and props, planning to cosplay this character at the next comic exhibition.
The main reason is that it doesn't seem to be very difficult to cosplay Aki Hayakawa, all you need is a formal suit, a braid and a long sword - after all, although Kas's weapon is a nail, it looks like a long sword when it is not pulled out.
As for earrings, you don't even need to pierce your ears for earrings without holes.
The trailer of "Chainsaw Man" currently gives people the feeling that it is well-made and popular.
The most important thing is that the theme song is also very nice. This time, Trigger Animation also invested a lot of money because of the expectations for "Chainsaw Man", although the song was given to them by Lin Qingshan.
But they found Zhang Jie, a current first-line pop singer in the Republic, to sing this OP, and his singing skills and vocal range are completely in line with this song "KICK BACK" in this other world.
Excellent lyrics and music, plus the singing of first-line pop singers, there is absolutely nothing to fault.
After all... this is "Chainsaw Man"!
Lin Qingshan's another phenomenal and popular boy's comic!
Even because "Chainsaw Man" is based on the starting point of "Edge Walker", and "Edge Walker" has been a gem before, everyone is optimistic about the animation production of "Chainsaw Man".
"It will be officially broadcast in July during the summer vacation... This wait is a bit long."
Zhou Wenwei looked at the final confirmed broadcast time and said with some regret, "It will take another two months... Ah ah ah ah ah I thought I could see it next month."
"But this production looks absolutely not bad."
He watched it again with great anticipation, especially the highlight moment of Hayakawa Aki at the end.
This scene of summoning foxes made Zhou Wenwei couldn't help but make a fox head gesture with his right hand, and then pretended to shout indifferently, "Knock--!"
I'm so handsome!
Zhou Wenwei said conceitedly in his heart.
Boys are all like this, and this highlight of Hayakawa Aki really made a group of comic fans exclaim that he is so handsome!
After watching it again, Zhou Wenwei clicked on the recommended "Protoss" animation trailer below.
However...
After watching it, Zhou Wenwei was a little confused.
Why... "Protoss" animation trailer is like a stream of consciousness, and the popular characters that appear in the comics flash by like water.
The poor boy Yang Mingfei playing games, the domineering red-haired Chen Nuonuo, Chu Zihan playing alone on the basketball court, the noble nobleman Caesar Gattuso, the cold iceberg girl Zero, and the exquisite and cute but actually black-bellied little devil...
Of course Zhou Wenwei knows these characters, but they all don't say a word, and there is no sound when they speak, only the OP as BGM.
But for those viewers who have not read the original comics, they feel that this trailer is inexplicable.
In fact, fans of the original work feel that it is a bit too strange. How can I know what you are doing if you don’t say anything?
So… this trailer doesn’t seem to be very attractive.
Fans of the original work are fine, but new viewers really don’t know what this trailer means.
The key is that there is not a single memory point, which makes people really feel confused...
"What's going on..."
Zhou Wenwei couldn't help complaining, and said, "At least let's have a short plot. You can give me a shot of the dungeon in the first part, or the fierce battle between the God-Slaying Team and Samson, etc. But the part where the principal and Ming Fei fight Loki together is fine."
It would even be nice to show a short episode of the first contract between Shai Zai and the little devil.
As it turned out, this trailer was pretty good. Countless scenes that were too fragmentary to fit together into a complete plot were pieced together into a trailer.
This is really unbearable to make people complain.
It doesn’t even introduce the world view and background, which is quite unfriendly to passersby who have never seen the original work.
Like "Chainsaw Man", passersby viewers can roughly understand the world view of "Chainsaw Man" through Kishibe and Makima's opening words.
But "Protoss"... not at all, the main theme is a stream of consciousness.
Of course you will understand it if you have seen the original work, but if you are not a fan of the original work, then you probably won’t give it a second glance.
There are also many complaints in the comment area and barrage.
"What kind of trailer is this? Why don't I edit it!"
"? Where is my Old Tang? Where is Old Tang who is as big as me?"
"You didn't even get a picture of the Underground Bronze City? What on earth did I see?"
"The principal doesn't even have many pictures, so I can't fix it."
"This trailer is really hard to describe, but the series itself should be good."
"The original work is there, but this trailer is really too humorous."
"This Falling Water Garden...well, there are some good animation works, but this trailer is too humorous."
But there are also different opinions in the comment area and barrage.
"I think this trailer is very good. All the characters are revealed, and the taste is right."
"Everyone can read the comics first, they are very good!"
"This is the flavor of "Protoss". I like it anyway."
"If you haven't read the comic, Yun, don't shout here. Fans of the original work are very satisfied!"
"Senior Brother Chu is very satisfied with my impression of being a member of Senior Brother Chu's party."
"Is this trailer humorous? Ah? The original author thinks this is the right taste."
…
Compared with the unanimous praise for the trailer of "Chainsaw Man", the comment section and barrage of the trailer of "Protoss" are completely polarizing.
Some passers-by and fans of the original comic feel that this trailer is based on the interview. The characters are shown through the process like an assembly line, and then there are no lines or explanations.
But some loyal comic fans think that this kind of flavor is right. Originally, the flavor of "Protoss" is biased toward literature and art. This kind of stream-of-consciousness trailer is in line with the original style of "Protoss".
But it is obvious that the trailer of the "Gods" animation shows no signs of breaking the circle.
On the contrary, the trailer of "Chainsaw Man" successfully broke the circle by simply focusing on the final scene of Hayakawa Akira summoning the fox.
Even viewers who have never seen the original work think this part is too cool, and they have begun to pay attention to the "Chainsaw Man" animation and the original work.
This is also the advantage of Lin Qingshan, a time traveler.
In fact, this section was not included in the previous animation trailer of "Chainsaw Man", but he knew that this section would be particularly disruptive, so he suggested that Ming Yiyang and other creative teams cut it into the trailer first.
And just as he expected, the scene that could break the circle in the previous life can also break the circle in the parallel world.
Yang Shuzhun does not have Lin Qingshan's advantage. At the same time, he also asked the creative team of Falling Water Garden to make a stream of consciousness trailer, which is even more deadly.
You must know that comics are more niche than animations after all. Even in the ACG circle, there are many people who rarely read comics and only watch animations.
Therefore, for a comic-book animation, the casual audience is actually very important.
Once it attracts the attention of passers-by, even comics that were not originally popular may become popular overnight.
Of course, whether it can attract passers-by in the end depends on the quality of the feature film.
The trailer is just a warm-up. Fans of the original work will not give up because the trailer is too poorly made, and casual viewers will not stop watching the animation completely because the trailer is too poorly made.
Just looking at the degree of warm-up, "Chainsaw Man" is much ahead of "Protoss"!
At least Zhou Wenwei, who has watched both "Chainsaw Man" and "Protoss", currently prefers "Chainsaw Man".
And just when he was watching the trailers of "Chainsaw Man" and "Protoss", he suddenly glanced...
When the supervisor came out of the office, he panicked, immediately cut the screen, and then looked at the supervisor pretending that nothing happened.
However, the supervisor shouted to them and said, "Everyone, come into the conference room for a meeting!"
While Zhou Wenwei breathed a sigh of relief, he also sighed and muttered, "We have another meeting."
But he still followed a group of colleagues into the conference room for the meeting.
