A sharp fact: the circle of Japanese animation production may be much smaller than expected

The Japanese animation industry is huge. It is well known that the “anime industry” in a broad sense is a collection of all animation-related industries, claiming to account for 20% of Japan’s gross national product. However, the most important part of Japanese anime, the circle of Japanese animation production, is much smaller than expected

For ten years, the masterpieces are all from one person.

Many people think that animation is like a movie, and top directors can produce top-notch works. This idea is correct, but it is not complete, because in animation, “painting” itself is the level of the level, and the specifications of the work are also evaluated. In the works, the works need to be represented by paintings. Therefore, the “level of production” also plays an important role in an animation work. The reason why many works can reach the top of all animations is that the specifications must be at the highest level. Because animation not only looks at the director’s thoughts, the painting itself can be said to be an important existence of actors’ acting in real-life movies

For example, many people think that in 2016, they took the second place in the Japanese animated movie box office, surpassing many of your Hayao Miyazaki animation works. “Some of the names are not true, mainly because they think that the depth of the works produced by Xin Haicheng as an animation director is not as good as that of Hayao Miyazaki; but can you know?” “Your name. “The master of the knife painting, or the painting supervision of “Spirited Away” 15 years ago, Ando Yasushi?

If you feel that the animation is as long as the level of the animation director, and ignores the important position of “painting supervision”, then you are almost watching the movie only to see the director’s intention, but not watching the actors’ acting is the same. “Painting supervision” is responsible for the “highest commander” in the role painting. Whether the character painting is lively or not, whether it is lively or not, and then the foundation is some. “There is no collapse” is determined by the painting supervision. As long as the construction period is sufficient, the painting supervision will be If you have time to correct each character’s paintings, you may be able to add a finishing touch to the ordinary works. Therefore, painting supervision can be said to be a soul figure in the works

So, “Your name. “It is not unreasonable to win the second place in the box office of Japanese animated movies in 2016. If you say it, the planner still has the means to invite the top original artist of “Spirited Away”. There is no doubt that the top lineup is worthy of the configuration of a top piece. Painting and acting are different. It is not a popular actor who can cope with it. The level of painting is not too hard. It is not a high-level painter. Therefore, you have the name of the top production team. “, naturally have the space to get top performance. Without top-notch production specifications, what do you think is true compared to past top works?

The original painting is required to be “big bang”, and animation is a network.

I just mentioned that, when doing animation, the original painting is a very important position, and the level of the original artist determines a large part of the quality of the work. The production of animation, especially the original painting part, is not so much a teamwork, it is better to say that some of the parts really look at some of the personal abilities of the big man

Just like “A Punch Superman” why can there be such a powerful fight, at the time MADHOUSE invited a lot of masters of action original paintings, even in the last words, Saitama to deal with the fight part of Poros also please The original painter who came to the “national treasure level” of Nakamura is involved, and the quality is of course guaranteed. On the other hand, if a work requires a high level of action, please come to a painter who is good at painting and selling, or a newcomer who is passionate about action, but lacks experience. Sudden reduction – this has nothing to do with how hard it is. When you draw animations, talent determines a lot of things. Therefore, drawing animations requires “big bang”.

A lot of animation production is also seen in the network, and the “big bang” that can be invited is actually very limited. For example, if you want to make a top action movie, the original painter who is good at some action dramas is limited. If you have the ability to come to Nakamura, the basic quality will not be low; if you want to do robot animation, the machine has the ability to go to the level of the machine of Dahe Yuanbang, the basic design can make the machine Satisfied with the house; you have the ability to come to Abe, you can make the gorgeous hand-painted special effects of UFO.

The parts of the animation are all real and hard to show, and the light is full of blood and can’t make good works. Of course, there is a good lineup, and if you don’t tie them together, you can’t get good works, so the animation masterpiece is not so easy to be born

Newcomers come out? Does not exist, the animation industry lacks successors

Well, the problem is coming. Now it’s the big industry’s big shackles, and what’s going on? The Japanese said that the industry has not been able to produce the second Miyazaki, nor did it create the second handcuffs, and other celebrities are the same, such as robot animation, many older generations of mech painters, retired, There is no successor, because the environment of Japanese animation production is really unfair to the beginners, with the worst treatment in the industry, doing the work that is more difficult than other industries, slowly step by step Crawling hard, although there will always be more practitioners on the ground floor, many people choose to leave and can’t train top talents. No one is the biggest problem in the Japanese animation production circle

An original artist I met with the author said, “You should be glad to see those mechs now. It’s hard to see a decent mech in the future. Wait for the older generation to retreat. See how many newcomers can draw decent mechs, and there will be a lot of old and intricate robots left by the original artist of the decent robot. No one is willing to learn.”

Familiar with animation works, friends who care about animation will definitely know this, the famous audio supervisor, Miss Tanaka Rie, a little more attention to the production, can find her figure in a variety of new programs

The circle of animation production is really small. A friend who took the original painting in the outsourcing company once told the author that if you’re outsourcing company is blacked out by a production company because of quality problems, then your company is likely to In the whole industry, it is being pulled black, because this circle is really so small, the circle of people is very small, the reputation is broken, and it will immediately smear the whole circle

Let’s mention the seiyuu circle: an artistized career.

Finally, simply mention the seiyuu circle, because the dubbing is strictly a part of animation production, but the seiyuu has been relatively independent, and the company is trained as an artist’s general occupation. Now the seiyuu, the end of the dubbing, The ability to sing, perform, and cope with various activities is among the responsibilities of seiyuu, as if the voice actors must be versatile, and the talents of all aspects are the test of seiyuu ability

The Japanese seiyuu environment is better than the animation production, but the competition is fierce. The change is too fast, the newcomers are born, many seiyuu can’t get a good character, even if they get a good character, it is quite embarrassing to go out with a character; because this In the industry, there seems to be a hidden rule that the elderly need to “give way” for newcomers. You are not famous when you should be famous. It is basically difficult to get the protagonist to make you famous. Imagine, Sakada and such a well-known veteran seiyuu, how many new shows will be given to him again? Generally speaking, an important role is played in the new program. The position of the protagonist must be a chance to give more new people a seiyuu. But when you get this opportunity, you play very hard, but the works are not sold, you can hardly get the audience’s approval, miss the opportunity to be famous, and don’t get a lot of protagonists in a short period to leave a deep impression on the audience. Impression, then waiting for you may be quite a long wait
