Love is so deep – a love letter from an original Chinese painter in Japan

The author collects animated discs. As everyone knows, the price of genuine animated discs in Japan is so high that it is also a genuine video disc. Japanese animation is much more expensive than those of the “American Hollywood blockbuster”. This is related to the Japanese industry model, which needs to sell cartoons to earn back costs.

Because of the high price, some friends who used to watch cartoons together in high school days have said that they can’t understand. “I can’t accept it, such an expensive thing, there are only 2 episodes of cartoons on a dish, how can you buy? This? It can be played for a few weeks to buy a game.”

To be honest, I also feel expensive, but the author is eager to collect his favorite works. That kind. Mood, summarized as “love.” .

I have always thought that I am “love” for animation, except that I am willing to pay for expensive works for my favorite works, animated CDs, favorite new programs will be divided into serious comments, will understand the situation of the industry I don’t care if others say that I am a “spiritual shareholder.” .

But until I met the Chinese original painter who worked in Japan, and he talked about his story in detail, I realized that the true “love” of animation can be so deep.

Here I would like to mention that it is a “story” and exaggeration. It is not so much a story, but rather a commonplace. He has been doing this for five years and has already achieved the level of “supervising painting”. The original painting is mainly. His job is to paint, 9 hours a day, there is nothing else to do except to bury his head, and there is nothing else to do.

The animation industry is very busy, doing six off ones and working overtime on Sunday, this has become the norm. Of course, there is no overtime pay. That kind. Overtime.

宵 熬 作.

His monthly salary is not high, 150,000 Japanese yen, 150,000 is not much, although it is more than 9,000 yuan, it is a good salary in China, but generally Chinese university graduates in Japan to find a suitable job, You can have more than 200,000 yen in monthly income, and you know that in China, you only need 30 yuan for the subway. In Japan, you have to take 300 yen for a meal and eat a meal in China. The price of 300 yen is 600 yen in Japan.

150,000 Japanese dollars, is the income that can not afford to play arcade games. He had been looking forward to playing a new arcade game in China that couldn’t be played in China, but went to discover that if you do animation, you don’t have time to play, and you can’t afford it. So now he has abandoned the pit and no longer has access to the series he loved.

Of course, the Japanese animation production circle is not all so “poor”, but the real high income, only animation supervision, and some top original painters.

The original Chinese animator who developed in Japan, the future is not bad, but the upper limit is firmly restricted. It doesn’t matter if you are talented and hard work, it’s about the environment. In animation production, the leader is “animated supervision”, which is equivalent to the director of animation, and the animation supervision, mostly from the original artist. The top animation director, Miyazaki, was once the original artist of the animation company.

However, so many Chinese people who have been working in Japan to develop original paintings have gone through so many years. Have you seen the Chinese people who have been supervised by animation? No. The environment in the industry is like this. The industry circle is small. It is the local talents who can supervise the Japanese. Even the “show” that supervises the big tea is poured out. It is harder for the Chinese to climb.

Then I asked him. It is not that domestic original painters make money. More. ? Why not consider returning to China? He did not express the arrogance of “I would rather do the phoenix and do not want to be a chicken head”, but said, “In this industry, you will understand that Japanese animation is only done in Japan.” .

Do Six Hugh, there is such a rest day, he does not go to the game room, does not accompany friends to sing, like to stay in the dormitory to study new painting techniques. He said, staying at home, you are likely to have been through this for many years, or this level, but in Japan, if you want to go forward, the environment will force you to move forward, and only by continuous improvement in painting skills can you finish your work better. .

Although he likes to paint very much, he also has bottlenecks. He used to have a long time. He thought that he wanted to paint, and he felt sick. Because his work has nothing else, it is painting, modifying, painting, and single work. It does make people feel bored, but he has no choice, he likes things, and when he wants to vomit, he can still swallow. This is a personal breakthrough.

Nowadays, he already has the level of painting supervision, and more and more works are in contact. From the original like to watch a popular work, now, I have the opportunity to personally participate in the production of this series. I think that he really is A person who is realizing his dreams.

He rarely catches up with new shows, and he doesn’t like to dislike it immediately. Because the new program can bring him entertainment, there is no such fun when we pursue it. He said that when he saw it, it was as if he had corrected the work, and it was completely different from the point we paid attention to.

He said, “My love for animation has been devoted to painting, so when I watch new shows, I am not so excited.”

For me who is just an anime editor, I can combine the fun of watching a new show with the work of writing a review, at least not forgetting the emotion that the animation brings to me, and he seems to have already appeared before the new show. , it has burned everything.

So it seems that the author likes animation, but only made an anime editor, just collecting a few CDs, and smugly labeling himself with “love”, it is really embarrassing.

Of course, you can say that “like to watch animation” and “like to draw animation” are two different things, but the passion that likes to draw animations was not brought up by the passion of “like watching animation”? At least this original artist is so.

In my opinion, even if he is only doing everyday, he has used his own actions to write a most romantic love letter.
