I complained that I was worthy of being a pit that I didn’t fill in. The video was consumed when the official planned to use the theatrical version to stir-fry cold rice and eat human blood steamed buns. This popularity is not in vain, it’s really worth it. I’ll delay for so long

Hello everyone, I am the master of the UP in the pit-filling area. Today, the fourth issue of Jianfeng Legend Science Popularization has finally been fried! Let’s fill in the popular science pit of the theater version that we dug two years ago to show you the entire process of Jianfeng’s plan from prosperity to decline, which is also an important turning point in the failure of animation. I complained that I was worthy of being a pit that I didn’t fill in. The video was consumed when the official planned to use the theatrical version to stir-fry cold rice and eat human blood steamed buns. This popularity is not in vain, it’s really worth it. I’ll delay for so long.

"Legend of Sword Wind" was launched in 1997 and has been continuously invited to make the DC console game "Lost Flower" as soon as the animation ends. In 2004, it also followed the pace of the times and launched the next-generation console PS2 game "The Legend of the Holy Demons".

Although the sales volume of the game is not good, the derivative products have no major moves since 2005, Jianfeng's popularity has not faded. The comic "Millennium Empire Chapter" drawn by Miura has become more and more courageous, and gradually approaches the climax of the "Destiny Emperor Chapter". In this situation, the official who had been silent for two years finally couldn't sit still and decided to animate "Legend of Sword Wind" again.

Time returned to August 2007, when the project was first launched. Once the news was released, many animation companies hoped to take over the production of Jianfeng. Now it is really different from the past. In 1997, Jianfeng was still a hot potato. They all felt that it was difficult to make Jianfeng animation and it was thankless. In the end, it was all up to the producer and the TV station to make the animation by themselves. Unexpectedly, the animation almost became a craze at that time after the broadcast. Now that it is animated again, everyone has discovered the market value of Jianfeng and wants to get a share of it. So the bidding pursuit of Jianfeng Animation started. Baiquanshe instead selected countless animation companies that came to run for election. It was really thirty years, Hexi in thirty years. When will we come in the next thirty years?

By May 2008, studio 4C (Fourth) attracted the attention of Baiquanshe with an internal pilot animation of pilot movie. The animation supervisor Wakaoka Shunyuki participated in the pilot movie production.

Kaoka Shunyu is an old animation man who has been active since the 1980s, but the animation he directed as a supervisor only has one chapter in "Batman Gotham Knight". The movie version of "Legend of Sword Wind" is actually his first time leading the animation. Before, most of them participated in the original painting, storyboard , and performances. Their representative works include " Leap to the Peak ", "Sapphire Mystery", " Iron Man Earth Stay Day ", "Genius Carnival", etc. However, compared to the animation field, it is more well-known in the game field, and its representative work "Idol Master". It was initially rumored that "it was because Miura was addicted to idol masters, so he was promoted to serve as the supervisor of Jianfeng Theater". But that was just a rumor. In 2008, Miura had not yet evolved into Hermes, the king.

In this preview version, Griffith looks at the camera close-up, the Eagle Regiment cavalry team is speeding on the battlefield, Griffith waves a huge sword to divide the enemy into two, the fear and shock brought by Zod when he first appeared on the stage. Through the content of the short film, the four major problems of how to solve the four major problems of Jianfeng animation were demonstrated.

is how the character is expressed in armor. It is difficult to describe the texture of the object. In terms of armor, the hardness of iron and the slender lines are very difficult to draw. Just one picture takes a lot of time, let alone make them move. If a set of scenes requires hundreds of thousands of shots, the manpower requirements will be too high. The way they use is to solve this problem through 3DCG.

, in 3DCG, facial expression, hair and cloak are the most difficult to describe facial expressions, if not made well, it will become very similar to a dummy, and it is even more difficult to vividly portray the expressions of the characters. Therefore, Sidu specially developed a way to combine unique performances and 3D movements to produce them. Although San Ren and Er is no longer surprising now, this is the second-rate new technology.

, how to show the fluffy feeling of Zod's hair, the performance of large monsters, the performance of violent scenes, the shot of giant sword breaking the enemy's body with one knife and two pieces of the body, the performance of different textures of plasma attached to armor , these seem to be verified at the moment,

, Horse War and Melee Battle , How to show the big scenes of war also show part of the preview version. The grand scene of groups of cavalry charging in the original work. For ordinary original painters, letting a large number of horses run smoothly is one of the most difficult scenes in the traditional hand-painted context. Generally, during production, the performance will try to avoid these difficult scenes. Shunyu Kawaoka does not want to fool Miura with such perfunctory creations. In order to satisfy the Shiratsuki Club, he must face this problem. Thinking about how to perform spectacular horse riding battles is the key to this game, and this pilot movie is a test piece made to verify the feasibility of this method. The CG modeling and painting parts of many supporting soldiers were synthesized, and the labor spent on reducing armor was compared and evaluated separately using hand-painted and CG modeling. If the plan is approved, the quality of the animation products in the official version in the future will be better than this pilot movie.

This short story combines exquisite 2D painting and 3DCG. It combines them together for the first time through modern technology and converts them at any time, showing the sense of presence of armor sword fighting and war, and fully displays the charm of the original work of Jianfeng Legend through the animation medium. This cartoon clip, which is less than a minute, captured the hearts of Miura Kazumaki Shimada Aki. On the day of the pilot, Miura looked at the pilot movie attentively. After tossing and replaying the scenes, she said to the STAFF who were so nervous on the side: Please leave it to you to do it! In the end, he won the animated bid opportunity four times.

You know, pilot animation is a short story that was made out of your own pocket before the animation project of Four Times. Moreover, this quality pilot animation can only cost 1 million yen, no matter what. Now the industry (2008) does not do much pilot movie. If Bai Quanshe fails to agree and the plan cannot be passed, then the previous preparations will be in vain. The money for spending time making pilot animation will naturally be wasted, that is, the wealth of Four Times is rich, and they dare to play like this. They probably have full confidence and will definitely win this animation plan. Moreover, this is not only for Jianfeng Animation, but also a challenge initiated in the new technology field, but also a proof of their own abilities and industry status.

The first four-time producer Eiko Tanaka wanted to win this opportunity to make animate in Jianfeng, and asked Kaoka Shunyu if she was willing to serve as the supervisor of the pilot image. At that time, Kaoka Shunyu had never read the original comics, and he did not like the scenes of random murder in the animation, so he refused. He believes that there are more suitable candidates in this type of work than him. But no matter how principled you are, workers are workers after all, and the work tasks assigned by your leaders are not something you can refuse if you want. . . As a last resort, Superintendent Kawaoka began to read the original comics seriously.

After flipping the book, Wakagan was shocked and read more than 30 volumes in one breath. It was not the work he had imagined at all, and he couldn't stop at all. After reading the single-line book, the supervisor of Kawaoka was instantly full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. I am also a person who makes a living by drawing, so I can clearly feel Mr. Miura's creative method that seemed to overdraw his life. "This original author was not afraid of the content of taboos when he created it, and calmly portrayed it. With such skills, such works have reached the level of artwork. It is like a comic work that has entered an abnormal field! How lucky it is to be able to read more than 30 volumes in one go." After

expressed such emotion, Supervisor Kawagan also wanted to create this "ultimate adult fantasy" work without leaving any room for it.Originally it was just a pilot movie supervision, but by chance it became the supervisor of the official animation. In subsequent meetings, the official animation developed into a giant project of the theater trilogy level. There was a kind of fishing on a medium-sized fishing boat, but unknowingly became the captain of the giant tanker.

complained: The final result of this voyage was to capsize. His measurement was that small and medium-sized fishing boats were different. You asked him to drive a giant tanker. The facts prove that no matter how good your navigation skills were, people who were not suitable for being a captain were not suitable. After the bidding for

, the subsequent production began. The first thing to do is to hold a meeting, what scale of animation should be made, and what content should be selected to animation. After the internal trial, the plan initially wanted to do OVA animation, not the current theater trilogy. At that time, Miura strongly hoped that they would do the content of the Black Swordsman, and it would be best to go to the plot of about 18 volumes of the original work and directly indicate the Tower of Sin. After all, the end of the Tower of Sin. Griffith is reincarnated by flesh. As the second protagonist in the Millennium Empire, of course, he will make a brilliant debut in the new animation. Is it called the new Sword Wind Animation if only Drawing Gus does not have his half body?

STAFF At the meeting stage, the first consideration was to take the "Sin Tower and the Eagle of the Millennium Empire" as the starting point. Later, some people suggested that if it was a black swordsman on the stage, wouldn't it be better to do it from the beginning of the comic? The Lost Children’s Chapter is an independent chapter. If it is made into OVA, can’t you choose the Lost Children?

Here I want to explain that cruel images of children are difficult to produce in TV animations or movies, and will inevitably be reviewed by relevant departments. However, media such as OVA do not have such restrictions, and can be said to be the most free creative platform. If it was OVA at that time, it would be feasible to animation the lost child.

and OVA was sold out. The targets were basically adults with economic income levels. The audience was the original comic fans and office workers of a certain age. Moreover, OVA was a business model that made one movie and continued to do it after making money. It can be said that there was no big risk. If quality and sales could be guaranteed, it would be a business that would make a profit without losing money. Even if you really lose money, the project will be interrupted, and then use the peripherals to recover the blood. The sales base of Jianfeng Comics at that time was enough to ensure that the OVA series would continue. If you are lucky, it would be the OVA form of "HELLSING". While ensuring the quality, it could be the latest serialization and even the end. Back to the topic of the conference,

As for the Golden Age chapter, there has been a TV animation in 1997. That version is very faithful to the original work, and the animation performance level is very high. Even if you watch it now, you won’t feel outdated. The Golden Age chapter is about ten volumes in length. If you cannot perform well in detail, the interpersonal relationships and outstanding plots built by Mr. Miura will not be displayed. The Golden Age will be given to TV animation. We just need to focus on OVA and other chapters.

Anyway, there are people with all kinds of opinions, it all depends on who the final decision-maker chooses to accept. At this moment, the legendary national treasure scripter, Mr. , the first floor of Hanoi, spoke.

Hanoi first floor, the first editor, novelist, freelance writer, entered the animation industry by chance, and was responsible for scripting work for many excellent works. His representative works include "Starry Sky Cleaner", "Rebellious Lelouch", "Karbanel Kabanelli", "Demon Crybaby", "Lupin III Part 5", etc. This person in Dahanoi is more suitable for original animation without the constraints of the original work, and is full of commercial flavor. If it is a relaxed and daily style drama, he can perform very well, but if it involves the original framework or works with a relatively depressing and heavy plot, he cannot perform stably, so the probability of writing a script is 55. Oh yes, there is another premise that a big hand can control him, and if he is tied to him, he can still produce quite excellent works.But if the supervision itself is also relatively unlucky, it is likely that two people will fly together. Ah yes, I'm talking about the Jianfeng Theater version and the Demon Man Crying Bag.

Dahanoi said: What is the plan to take the Golden Age as the core, give up the media of OVA and make a theatrical version? The leading producer felt very good after hearing this proposal, so he suddenly decided like this! Then the creative policy discussed earlier began to revolve around the Golden Age chapter.

Actually, I want to say that the producers of four times are too confident. After all, OVA has a small audience base and is a work that is only aimed at fans. Four-Day's ambition is very great, and it's not short of money. It can cost millions of yen to make a pilot movie. OVA animation is too petty. What they want is the greatest commercial value and exposure. The OVA medium is not worthy of their use of such great power, and it cannot achieve the effect that Four-Day wants. It must be a theater version broadcast by the whole world. This level of animated movie is worthy of its own company.

For the leading producer Eiko Tanaka, just the financial resources, connections, technology, and the quality of the original work, these conditions are destined to be successful if they are put together. It is difficult to do it poorly. . . There is no possibility of failure at all, this will definitely work! Since that's the case, it's better to maximize resources and strive for a brand new market and blood. So an OVA animation project turned into a theatrical version, and also chose the Golden Age chapter that is the most difficult to achieve in completion.

Let’s talk about why Dahanoi wants to do the Golden Age Chapter. When Dahanoi first entered the industry, he was recommended by his senior editor Amway. He read the original comic for the first time, and that happened to be the Golden Age Chapter. The relationship between Griffith and Gus is very interesting, making him immersed in it and unable to extricate himself. He even described the Golden Age as his first love as a reader. He yearns for a relationship with a double pattern very much, which means that he trusts each other but is not so close. He trusts each other and is jealous of each other. He also wants to have such a job rival, so he urgently hopes to choose the Golden Age so that he can write the script of his first love that he wants to write. . . Haha, thank you!

At the same time, the supervisor of Wakagang also felt that this proposal was very good. The Golden Age was easy to accept and digest for the first time for viewers. The characters in it were full, the story was complete and close to epic, and it was definitely one of the most suitable chapters to get started. Instead, starting with the mysterious black swordsman will make the newcomer who has been exposed to Jianfeng confused for the first time. After all, times have changed. Today's Japanese are not very interested in the Hollywood-style opening, and they emphasize that the characters will not be too attractive. In addition, the Japanese have a special sensitivity, and the audience of topics for youth troubles and interpersonal relationships is higher, and the Golden Age just meets these conditions. Their goal is not the old people they have chased through since 1997, but these young people from the new era!

After deciding on the Golden Age, the producer asked, can you finish the capacity of a theatrical version with two and a half hours? So Okanoi wrote an outline of two and a half hours. After reading it, Kaoroka said: It doesn’t matter, it should be done in two and a half hours. Because these two people looked very reliable, everyone believed them. . .

But this is the beginning of a series of tragedies.
