Big Manga

The new week has just arrived, and "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" ushered in its premiere day.

On Monday morning, TV Tokyo was busy getting ready.

"How's the trial screening going? No accidents, right?" Director Sasaki took time out of his busy schedule to come backstage. For today's premiere, he asked "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" to conduct an internal trial screening. Except for the release, the process is the same as the official screening.

"No." Miss Meiling, who was in charge of this matter, replied with a smile: "Everything is going well, and there will be no surprises in the screening in the afternoon."

Sasaki breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, I'll check the situation on the network channel." Then he turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped before leaving, and warned again: "This animation is very important to our TV station, you should pay attention today , don’t make any mistakes.”

Meiling nodded. The broadcasting of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is very important to the TV station. Of course, she will be very careful.

Compared with CCTV and Suhua TV, Tokyo TV's love for animation is obviously deeper, and it is even comparable to Suhua TV. This is determined by the geographical elements of the Far East. Its influence in the mainland is limited, and it has been at a disadvantage since the rise of television media.

In the past, it was mainly TV dramas that determined the ratings of TV programs, but the advantage of the Far East Region in this regard has always been inferior to that of mainland TV stations. When a popular TV series comes out, the producers first think of premiering it on the mainland, and the Far East Region has always wanted to pick up reruns. , This has also caused TV Tokyo to suffer from the imprisonment of being unable to improve its influence for many years.

The rise of animation, a new thing, gave TV Tokyo hope. The super high ratings of "Gundam Seed" when it was broadcast surprised them, and even many viewers came from mainland China-this is what TV Tokyo has been pursuing.

To become a first-class TV station in China, mainland audiences are essential. And for these reasons. TV Tokyo just courted Phoenix Company and won the priority premiere rights of He Xi Animation.

This is their victory, but to consolidate the results of the victory, there must be no surprises in the broadcast of "Mobile Suit Gundam".

"Today's weather is so good, there can be no accidents."

Meiling looked at the sky outside, full of confidence, the sky in Tokyo was clear. However, in Suhua, the sky has been gloomy since the morning. At five o'clock in the afternoon, it started to rain mercilessly.

"Too bad, I didn't bring an umbrella, Li Yu, did you bring it?" The university city is holding a federation of comic clubs. The meeting had just ended, and Han Xuan looked a little anxious when she saw the change in the weather outside: "Why is it raining all of a sudden?

I have to go back and watch the animation later! "

"I lent my umbrella to a senior."

Li Yu, who was standing next to Han Xuan, smiled wryly. Although the two are not in the same school, they are both managers of the comic club. The participants in this federation were the heads of the comic clubs of various schools. Liu Yi and Liu Yun were also present, but they did not stand with Han Xuan and the others.

Han Xuan turned her head to look, and other people in the hall also noticed the rain. It seemed a little noisy.

"Damn it, it's raining!"

"What's wrong with the weather, the forecast is not accurate!"

There are not a few people without umbrellas. The federation was held in the afternoon, but if it had been in the morning, the participants would have had few complaints. In the morning, everyone basically went out with umbrellas, but the rain did not fall, and the sky cleared up for a while at noon, so everyone went out without umbrellas.

Everyone here is an animation fan. There are many people who want to watch "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", but it rains. Many people called it unlucky.

"What a pity, when will the rain stop?"

Those with umbrellas left with smiles, while those without umbrellas stayed in the hall and stared blankly. Han Xuan's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly saw two familiar figures among the leaving crowd, and her eyes widened: "Liu Yun is too innocent. It's human, you actually left us alone!"

Li Yu followed her gaze and found that Liu Yun and Liu Yi left holding an umbrella. She smiled slightly: "Forget it, the two of them can't see other people when they are together, maybe they didn't notice us!"

Then, she picked up the bag in her hand and put it on her head. "I'm going to run." Li Yu blinked at Han Xuan: "It's not raining anyway, so I ran back to take a shower just to watch the animation, do you want to go with me?"

Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, then picked up the bag, "Fortunately, my bag is waterproof!" The two girls looked at each other and smiled, then suddenly shouted twice, and ran out into the rain, they haven't done it for a long time This kind of childlike behavior, but still makes them happy.

"Hahaha... It's been a long time since I felt this way, it's like going back to high school."

"I was thinking just now, if Shen Jie was here, she would definitely take the two of us into the rain."

"No wonder you are so bold, Li Yu, but if Shen Jie is here, she will definitely be happier."

Shen Jie's legs were able to run, and Han Xuan and Li Yu couldn't help laughing when they thought of her situation. Behind them, the other college students in the guild hall stood blankly for a while, and then ran into the rain one after another.

For the premiere of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", this little rain is nothing.

And on Manga Island not far from the university town, Meng Huo was also quietly watching the rain outside in his office. The sky was a little dark, but the rain in the evening was very beautiful. To the waves caused by the rain falling on the river.

"Meng Huo, the tea is ready."

At this time, Alice interrupted Meng Huo's rain appreciation.

He turned his head and watched Alice put the brewed tea on the desk.

"Why do you seem a little unhappy today?" Meng Huo sat down and asked. Alice usually came to his office happily, but today Meng Huo noticed that her brows were a little gloomy - just like the people outside. Same as the sky.

"I really can't hide it from you." Alice smiled. She was very happy that Meng Huo could find out what she was thinking. Every time Meng Huo saw through her, she would be very happy in her heart, because it showed that Meng Huo was paying attention to her very carefully. .

"Today I was disgusted by a man." She explained: "It's okay for this man to be worthless, but he is relying on a widow's support for food and drink, and now he still has the face to come here with a script of unknown origin." Animation, do you think it’s disgusting?”

"There is such a man?" Meng Huo was a little surprised, then nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit too much."

He was very curious about who this man was, but it seemed that Alice had no intention of continuing to explain. She seemed to feel better after saying a few words, and took the initiative to divert the topic away.

"Forget it, I don't want to mention this, let's talk about "Mobile Suit Gundam 00"." Alice watched Meng Huo drinking tea, and said with a smile: "It will premiere later, if it can be broadcast with "Gundam Seed" should be as popular as it is."

Meng Huo took a sip of his tea: "I just hope that the first episode reviews I'll read in the newspaper tomorrow won't be too bad."

He spoke surprisingly, and then smiled wryly: "I read the reports of the past two days, and it seems that everyone has great expectations for the first broadcast of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". Looking at these expectations, I have been worried, tomorrow Will the newspapers scold me bloody?"

Alice was taken aback, and laughed loudly: "How come, you are not as confident as the others? Aren't the comments on this episode very good? Today, the director of Suhua TV station praised it in front of me, saying that your dubbing Excellent...what are you worried about!"

"Of course the TV station is like this." Meng Huo nodded. He knew that Suhua TV station had a good evaluation of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", not only them, but also Tokyo and CCTV.

"But the TV station is because I have told them the story. The way they evaluate the first episode is from the animation as a whole. This cannot be counted... Didn't some of the voice actors from the agency also watch it? What is their evaluation? Sample?"

The voice actors don't know the overall plot of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", and their impressions of watching the animation during recording will be more in line with the feelings of normal audiences.

"This……"

Alice had nothing to say. She recalled that those seiyuu had very little response after watching the first episode. They were not as enthusiastic as the previous animations. They might not say bad things because of the company's face. The plot of this episode may be better than As bad as imagined.

"You see?" Meng Huo couldn't help sighing when he saw that Alice didn't reply.

He has a lot of confidence in Mobile Suit Gundam 00, but not so much in the first episode. In fact, the first episode of this animation gave people a very bad impression. No, maybe it is more appropriate to say that it was chaos. When Meng Huo watched the first episode in his previous life, he even lost interest in the second episode after watching it.

It's not that the story is not interesting, but the story of the first episode of this animation is too compact, and the content of this episode is about the beginning of the story. But the progress is fast, the puzzles are stacked, and the rapid switching between characters can easily become confusing.

"Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has a huge number of animated characters, and the characters that appeared in the first episode and will run through the whole show are no less than double digits. In just twenty minutes, each character's share Rarely, the audience won't remember a few people at all after watching it.

In fact, there are very few shots and dialogues of the protagonist and his party in this episode. Meng Huo was very worried about it, so he made some modifications, lengthened the animation time of this episode, and added lines and shots of several key characters.

He believes that in this way, at least the audience can understand which characters are the main characters. However, the structure of the animation has not changed much. Coupled with the newly created world view, ordinary audiences may still feel boring and confused after watching it.

The reviews for this episode are theoretically not going to be good.

"Don't worry." But after thinking for a moment, Alice suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, this episode will definitely be popular."

Meng Huo didn't understand where her confidence came from. (to be continued)
