Chapter 263. What went wrong? (8000 words)
"The Winner Is Justice" has finally started.
Katsuto Ionaki was excited and pinched the notebook beside him with both hands, ready to criticize him well. He usually doesn't make any mistakes like this, but this time he doesn't find anything to find out, and his hair that had just grown was about to fall off again.
And both times it was because of Higashinoji...
Of course he was a little unwilling to accept it.
Accompanied by a burst of simple and brisk music, "The Winner Is Justice" started broadcasting very simply.
There are no fancy theme songs, nor are there various opening song editing... "The Winner Is Justice" opened in a simple and unpretentious manner.
This surprised Iwaazumi Katsuto who was guarding next to the TV.
Originally, he thought that "The Victor is Justice" would be the same as "Unnatural Death", and he used an excellent opening song like "Lemon" to make people shine... After all, Higashinoji, a genius composer, is also in Higashino Studio.
Katsuru Iwaazumi shook his head and kept his mind calm. He no longer thought about what was there, but focused on the animation.
Unlike Higashinoji's manga version of "The Victor is Justice", the animated version of "The Victor is Justice" has many descriptions of facial expressions of characters, which also makes the original flat characters become more three-dimensional.
Looking at the overly rich expressions of the characters in the animation, Katsuto Iwaaki couldn't help but breathe, thinking about it in his heart - how much does it cost? How many original paintings did it take to reach this level?
Shouldn’t Higashino Studio be short of people? Why does it look like this at all now? There is no sign of finding an outsourcing company at all.
The so-called outsourcing company is actually a means of asking outside companies to help draw backgrounds or characters when the animation producer is really unable to open up and there are not enough staff.
Of course, since it is an outsourcing company, its painting is naturally not particularly professional. Many of the "stickman" in animations or the "long-slitman" in the long-term come from this.
However, in "The Victor is Justice", there is no such scene of ruining the work. On the contrary, whether it is a close or long-term view, the portrayal of the characters' expressions... "The Victor is Justice" can be said to be a top-notch work.
If you really want to pick the thorns in the fish and force it to tell something that is not safe, it is probably the victim of the first episode that the voice actor of Tsukakura used too much force and felt that it was not good.
There is no even any flaw found other than that.
It can even be said that... this is actually not a flaw. At most, it is just a level that is not enough to be beautiful or even picky. After all, excessive dubbing happens frequently in animation production, and you can accept it as long as it is not emotionally deficient.
Putting aside this dubbing actor who is too loud, Daimajimaji in "The Winner Is Justice" made Kazuto Iwaaki's eyes lit up, and he really matched Daimajimaji's feeling of being naive and ignorant in society and yearning for justice.
At the end of the first episode, facing Daimachiko's rhetoric, Kensuke Komime's words, "Don't be too narcissistic, we are not gods, we are just simple lawyers." It's really courageous.
Storyboards, close-ups, long-range views, painting styles, dubbing, almost no flaws were found.
After reading the whole episode of Katsuru Iwaaki, I didn’t find the disadvantages, but I wrote a notebook... He looked at the notebook and felt that as long as this thing was slightly organized and polished, it would be published directly by the magazine tomorrow.
He was speechless for a while, then reached out and touched his hair, feeling that this time his hair seemed to be unable to be saved again...
There is really no way... "The Winner is Justice" really can't find any dark spots.
He can't speak against his will - he can't say it alone when everyone agrees?
Then he must not be criticized by these Higashiji fans on the Internet to be autistic?
But there should be a chance.
Katsuto Iwazumi is preparing to check out the quality of several other animations. After all, October animation is not only Higashinoji, but also MIC animation production company, Xigang Film, Kawaguchi Studio, Asuka... Well... I won't talk about Asuka Club.
As the saying goes, there will be harm when compared. If the works of several other production companies are good, he can naturally compare the works of several other companies with Higashino Studio's "The Winner Is Justice", and can naturally put forward some shortcomings in "The Winner Is Justice".
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was very effective, so he made a special trip to find the video from the previous few days.
A few days ago, he made a special trip to record MIC animation production, Xigang Film and TV series videos of Kawaguchi Studio, which are now just in handy.
After watching Katsuto Iwazumi, he reviewed the three animation production companies, including MIC, Xigang and Kawaguchi.
"The Takagi-kun of the Next Door" by MIC animation company is a routine youthful daily animation, but to be honest, this theme is nothing more than dating and solving the problem of teenage girls' adolescence... These routines are too old. Although MIC is well produced, compared with "The Winner is Justice" that is still lacking too many animations that are out of routines.
"Galaxy Age" filmed by Xigang focuses on special effects and combat images, but it may be because of the poor sales, screenings, and peripheral performances of the previous animation work. Therefore, this time, "Galaxy" has a shortage of funds. Some daily pictures obviously have an outsourcing company, which is too different from the scenes during the battle. Not to mention that compared with "The Winner is Justice", it is not even as good as "Takagi-kun of the next door".
As an old studio, Kawaguchi Studio is indeed strong in strength. The first episode of "Gun and Fire" is in a strong momentum. The impression I saw once and even felt that it was just as good as "The Winner Is Justice"... Maybe "The Winner Is Justice" is a little bit better than it, but the difference is not particularly large.
But this result is definitely not satisfactory to Katsuki Iwaaki. None of the three famous animation production companies in the industry can crush "The Winner Is Justice"...
Of course, there is actually a Asuki Club left, but the Lily Meng animation... To be honest, Katsuto Iwazumi has never caught a cold.
After all, it is 2004, and the Japanese Showa atmosphere is still very strong. Every Japanese man wants to be a strong Showa man, instead of the kind of thing that looks at the love and cuteness between girls.
"Let's take a look." Katsuru Iwaazumi thought that since he had seen so much, he didn't lack this Asuka Club.
So I searched for the video and started to look carefully.
Then...
He was fascinated by it.
......
The next day, Mori Valley magazine released a photo.
The photo shows the editor of Mori Valley magazine who deliberately coded his face.
Their heads that have just grown in the past few months have been shaved, and they all have the hairstyle of a ‘strong’.
Mori Valley magazine fulfilled its commitment.
It was also funny to Higashinoji know about this.
He had a little impression of this magazine. After all, they made a very ruthless statement at the beginning, looking like they were simply impossible.
But to be honest, it is already very good that they are willing to fulfill their promises.
Unlike Iwakatsu Publishing House and Mochi Bookstore, some time ago, I secretly scolded Higashinoji by making the production of "The Victor is Justice", but now I am shrunk my head and act like I dare not admit it.
The reputation of "The Winner Is Justice" also began to completely reverse after Fuji TV was officially released. Now there is basically no one who suddenly emerges as a dark horse.
As the investor of "The Winner Is Justice", they were laughing from ear to ear... They were all glad that when Higashinoji asked them to negotiate the specific details of the screening time of "The Winner Is Justice", they treated them very politely and did not blindly ask for high compensation.
Now it seems that it's totally profitable.
As for the ratings...the ratings of midnight animation are actually similar, and even "The Winner Is Justice" will not change much...
This is not about the plot and the level of excitement, but about the purely Japanese animation audience. After all, most Japanese audiences now still watch TV series they like, rather than choose to watch late-night animations.
Even if Higashinoji's previous life could really reach 10% viewership, there are only the Japanese national animation "Miss Conch" and "Cherry Maruko" - Higashinoji only vaguely remember that even "Dragon Ball" and "Naruto" did not seem to be qualified.
Of course, many people may not have heard of the name "Miss Conch", but it is indeed the best rating in Japanese animation. With the carrier of "animation", it once scored 19% of the ratings, surpassing many Japanese dramas, and broadcasting almost a few thousand episodes, which has a profound impact on the Japanese. Similarly, "Miss Conch" has not been broadcast overseas. In the minds of many Japanese, its influence even surpasses the official Japanese news.
Therefore, if you really want to look at the results of "The Winner Is Justice" from the side, you still have to wait for the results after the sales of Blu-ray discs.
Not only Higashinoji is waiting, but also several animation production companies such as MIC, Xigang and Kawaguchi are also waiting.
They are waiting for their results.
Similarly, we are also waiting for the achievements of the dark horse "The Winner Is Justice".
Under this kind of waiting, except for the special effects and sound effects masters who are also working in the later stages, the other employees in Higashino Studio are basically in a state of nothing to do. Seeing that they have nothing to do, Higashinoji did not hesitate and directly pulled them to play table tennis.
The reason for use is also very legitimate. Instead of sitting and waiting for sudden death, it is better to stand up and exercise.
The result of this pull made Higashinoji completely unexpected that most people in Higashino studio can play table tennis and play well.
So, taking this opportunity, Higashinoji carried a racket and killed the employees in Higashino Studio. The title of Higashino Table Tennis Demon King is getting louder and louder.
When we arrived at the back, even Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi, Konoe Ryoka and others who came to visit all took the initiative to join in the fun and went to the table to play with Higashiji for a few games.
Among them, Yumi Takahashi is the most athletic talent, but she still lost after two rounds under Higashinoji's men. She said with anger: "Teacher Higashino, why don't you talk about martial arts at all? I'm over before I can see clearly."
When Fujiwara Aoi saw Takahashi Yumi losing, she felt disdainful. She felt that Takahashi Yumi was not playing basketball with her IQ like her, and only used her athletic talent to challenge her, which would definitely not be able to beat Higashinoji.
She is different. She is used to thinking with her brain and developing tactics.
According to Fujiwara Aoi's judgment, Higashinoji is good at killing balls with forehand, but he has never seen a few times when he returns, so his weakness should be on the left side of the table, and returning is what he is not good at.
She served directly according to her "high IQ" analysis, and twice pulled Higashinoji's left side of the table, forcing him to return to catch the ball.
Then Fujiwara Aoi was quickly sent off by Higashinoji 11:2.
Until the end, she was still full of annoyance and confusion - what's going on? The result I expected shouldn't be like this.
Why did I lose?
As for her expression, Higashinoji could not help but shake his head.
His skills came out of the Tianchao football world... In other words, if you haven't played in Tianchao, you don't know what kind of rookie you are proud of.
Finally, there was Konoha Ryoka. She had no athletic talent at all and didn't know what to do with a table tennis racket... But it was such a person who didn't know what to do, but he lived the longest, and even scored 11:9 with Higashinoji.
Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara next to them were both stunned.
You don’t let the water go like this? You just let out a Milky Way go directly.
Their mouths were really sore... Takahashi Yumi was almost so angry that she ran out to find a genius table tennis boyfriend to come back to kill Higashinoji.
Konomiya also knew that Higashinoji had let go of water, so the audience blushed and did not dare to speak in the face of the strange sight of his two best friends.
Under this situation, a week soon passed. Under Higashinoji's command, the first Blu-ray disc of "The Victor is Justice" was put into the market together with the works of several other companies.
Next is waiting for the result.
As long as the Blu-ray disc of "The Winner Is Justice" sells more than 50,000 copies, it means that the hegemonic animation of "The Winner Is Justice" is expected to be in the season.
There is no need to elaborate on the entire sales process. Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara paid for a disc called "The Winner Is Justice".
Konoe Lianghua bought three portions with great wealth and spent 15,000 yen to show her true nature - I really feel that even if you don’t go to work, I can support you.
On the other hand, Higashinoji received a notice from Ryuichi Yano at the sales report meeting of "The Winner is Justice"—
The first day of Blu-ray disc sales of "The Winner Is Justice" broke only 15,000 pieces.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room was suddenly suppressed.
Because of this result...
How to say...
It can only be said to be average.
It can only be said to be average.
Chapter completed!
