    When Xiao Wei's theme song was almost sung and various adaptations started to be made, the animation progressed quite quickly!  In fact, generally speaking, the progress of animation shooting in Japan is actually quite close to that of American TV series.  Half of the time, American TV series are filmed in the United States. They are not filmed first and then broadcast like they are in China.  American dramas are all about minimizing investment risks, so the production company usually has a good idea and first finds someone to sign on to film an episode.  For the first episode, generally speaking, the best TV directors are hired to film it, and the film is made as attractive as possible, and then it is sold to various television stations.  When the TV station is willing to ask for it, the first episode of such a TV series will be arranged to be broadcast.

    Such a first episode is actually a test screening. When the test results are good, the TV station will sign a contract with the production company, and then the production company will work overtime to start filming the American TV series, basically reaching the point of one episode a week, and everyone will basically  They are all spinning.  Then we shoot for 22 or 24 weeks a year, and then everyone takes a few months off to have a good rest.  Why do American dramas still have holidays here?  Mainly because in the summer, various sports competitions in the United States are about to reach the finals, and the gentlemen all snatch away the remote controls to watch the games!  So in fact, even if American dramas are aired at this time, the ratings will definitely not be very good!  In this case, it is better to say that everyone has a holiday!  Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t American TV stations still have to spend money to buy dramas from other production companies?  When people buy it, the money is calculated based on the number of sets!

    Japanese animation production is very similar to American TV series to some extent.  It's just that they didn't say anything about test screenings.  Relatively speaking, the animation production in Japan is just a part-drama series at the beginning.  Then while it is being broadcast, we will speed up production every week.  Basically this is really fast to make.  Because of its fast speed, a new episode of the cartoon is broadcast at the same time every week.  This is completely incomparable to the cartoons played every day in China after they were introduced!  If this was made every day in Japan, people would really be unable to catch up!  And if they had produced it first and broadcast it, they would have been a little behind in keeping up with the craze!  After all, if a cartoon with dozens of episodes is completed, it may take several months. If the episodes are longer, it may take a year or two!  Then when the cartoon is finished, the craze for such a comic may have died down, and who will it be shown to?

    So Japanese companies want to maximize their own interests.  It must be released as early as possible while the manga craze is still there!  Hence the tradition of producing an episode every week!  Under such a tradition, Wen Xun and his team's "Fullmetal Alchemist" will of course be produced in accordance with such a tradition.  For a cartoon like theirs, Kadokawa Shoten will first prepare ten episodes as a reserve, and then wait for the ten episodes to be released, and then quickly produce and broadcast it at the same time!  The reason why I did this was to catch up with the craze in publishing novels and comics!  The production of ten episodes involved overtime work and outsourcing, and the overall speed was quite fast.

    When Xiao Wei¡¯s theme song is almost finished, the first ten episodes are basically finished.  The next thing to welcome is the broadcast of "Fullmetal Alchemist" from Kadokawa Shoten!  After such information that was about to be broadcast was announced in the Japanese media, it immediately caused a huge craze!  On the one hand.  The story of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is indeed very popular in Japan right now.  Not to mention the novel is very good, the comics are also quite good!  So the news that such a cartoon is going to be broadcast certainly makes fans look forward to it!  But on the other hand, in addition to good reviews and expectations.  That¡¯s a worry too!

    What worries?  Some fans also expressed concerns that such an anxious animation process would lead to the creation of a large number of original animation plots.  You must know that such a thing is not unfounded, it is a reality in many cartoons!  In such an era of Japanese animation production.  They have not yet learned from the American way of producing animation based on one season per year. The Japanese are doing animation.  That means you can do it for as long as you can!  Once the playback starts, it must be played until the finale of the comic!  And under such a situation.  Because of the advantages of their genre and carrier, cartoons can broadcast an episode of more than 20 minutes a week, which far exceeds the number of cartoons an artist can draw in a week!

    You must know that an animated episode may last more than 25 to 30 minutes including the beginning and end, and the actual story telling content may only be 20 minutes.  But this 20-minute story contains quite a lot of information!  Especially when compared with the speed of cartoonists, according to the popular comics in Japan, especially the popular comics serialized in "Sh¨­nen Weekly Jump", half of the weekly comics need to be handed over one chapter in a week.  content.  And the content of a word?In a medium like "Sh¨­nen Weekly Jump", that means there should be 18 to 20 pages of such a picture content!  Just such a speed, it can only be achieved by cartoonists working hard!

    Because even if there are various assistants, if a cartoonist wants to draw a cartoon, it is not a simple matter of drawing it!  Half of them first want to think about what story they want to tell in this week's comic strip!  Just thinking about the story may take a day or two, and then you have to prepare storyboards. After all, comics are drawings, and the pictures need to be divided. Which pictures are more important need to be larger, and which pictures should be divided in different ways.  , these are all things to think about!  Maybe just thinking about such a storyboard would take about a day!  Three days have passed this week!  The next step is for the cartoonist and various assistants to work together. The cartoonist first divides the frames of each page, and then draws simple background sketches and characters inside the frames.  Then the cartoonist has to draw the characters, and then hand over the half-finished drawing to the assistant, who will draw the background, speed lines, and even paste shading paper and so on.

    Starting to work hard at this time, it doesn¡¯t take just one or two hours to finish a page of painting!  So it often takes three or four days to draw eighteen to twenty pages of content!  In the end, everyone is almost in time to make the submission!  This is really frustrating!  But there is nothing we can do, who wants everyone to eat the food of the serialization!  Having said that, cartoonists can draw 1820 pages of content every week, and animations have to perform 20 minutes of content every week, so obviously, animation cannot show the same page of content drawn by cartoonists every minute, right?  It¡¯s very possible that a cartoonist can draw a page of content that only takes 5 seconds in other animations!

    Under such a situation, even if the animation will accumulate dozens of episodes before starting to produce while broadcasting, one day the animation will catch up with the progress of the manga!  What to do in such a situation?  You can't just stop broadcasting it at this point, right?  In general knowledge, if the broadcast is stopped at this time, many people who are accustomed to watching such an animation every week will not be able to watch it, and then they may watch other animations!  I went back and replayed it like this, and not many people watched it!  So animation production companies definitely want to maintain their popularity as much as possible!  But I have already caught up with the content of the comics, what should I do?  So a lot of original content came out!

    The so-called original content is actually a kind of animation company that has no choice but to produce some content that is not in the original comics to delay time, waiting for the progress of the cartoonist to catch up again!  Therefore, in Japanese comics, various original animations often appear again and again!  This is because I created an original work once and waited for the original author to get up to speed on the comic. I even accumulated some of the content and quickly animated it before broadcasting it. As a result, as the broadcast continued, the progress caught up again. This was a last resort.  It¡¯s time to be original!  Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to worry that some fans in Japan are worried. They are also worried that such an animation is produced too quickly. After all, it only accumulated ten episodes before it started to be broadcast. This will definitely catch up with the progress of the manga soon.  Isn¡¯t it time to fill up with a lot of original plots?  As a result, doesn¡¯t it feel like an animation like this has been ruined by water injection?

    It¡¯s understandable that people are worried, but in fact they are just a little too worried.  Because although Aunt Niu is a cartoonist, don't forget that it doesn't matter that Aunt Niu is slow. Wen Xun has actually finished the entire book!  So in fact, if this animation is made, it will not be out of touch at all, and it will not be watered down at all, and it can be shot and broadcast smoothly beyond the progress of the comic!  Of course, on the other hand, if the manga is halfway through the plot and the cartoon has already been broadcast, it would be too embarrassing. So relatively speaking, when Wenxun and the others collaborated with Kadokawa Shoten to produce animation  , I have already thought about it. In normal dramas, I can drag on the scene if I can!  Someone who can hold a conversation for 5 minutes will never finish talking in 3 minutes without filming!

    In other words, this animation is actually a deliberate drag scene from the first episode!  In this way, we can draw more Aunt Niu's comics before the entire broadcast is finished!  Under such a situation, both comics and animation can have a good harvest, right?  It's better than having to suffer a loss on one side, right?  (To be continued)
