Chapter 1026 Jade Market

Most of the rumors from the outside world were fabricated facts and did not affect the normal operation of Kyoani Studio.

But they did hold back their anger.

Although the success of the animation "Hyouka" made Kyoani Studio famous, many people also said that the original work of "Hyouka" was very exciting, and the animation was just the icing on the cake.

If you really want to show your strength, you have to make original animations!

So, with the idea of ​​proving yourself, Kyoani's first work after joining the Wanbao Animation (Neon) branch was an original animation.

"Tamako Market"!

This is a heartwarming and healing daily animation, mainly telling the interesting stories of the bond between Tamako, the daughter of a rice cake shop owner, and the incredible bird that can speak human language, and the only son of the noodle shop "Ojiya" Oji Mochizo, and other friends on the Rabbit Mountain Shopping Street.

When Seto first saw this plan, he thought it was a traditional campus love comedy, but later he found out that he was wrong.

This is not a love comedy!

Although there are love elements in the plot, they are not obvious, and are not the main focus of the animation.

The animation "Tamako Market" depicts a commercial street with a sense of human fireworks through the perspective of the heroine Tamako, and constructs a two-dimensional utopia that should only exist in people's imagination.

Obviously, this is not the same style as Kyoani's previous works.

"Tamako Market" is a movie that is difficult to describe in words, but after watching it, you will feel: It's so good! Every neighbor is so simple and enthusiastic, and the story is simple but warm and healing...

A real healing show!

This is Seto's judgment on "Tamako Market", and it is also the main reason why he strongly supports this project.

Similar animations are not uncommon in the market, but most of them are not satisfactory. They want to touch the softest part of people's hearts, but they always go the wrong way.

In Seto's view, the general direction of "Tamako Market" is fine, and he even has an illusion: Could this be a sister piece of "Three Sisters of the Southern Family"?

It's so similar!

The whole project gave him the same feeling as the original "Three Sisters of the Southern Family", warm and healing. Although they were all trivial family matters, they could bring the audience a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

Seto liked this kind of animation very much.

He also believed that in the current Japanese animation market, such warm and healing animations had great prospects, so he reported his discovery to the president.

It was through Seto's report that Gu Miao, who was far away in Jiangchuan, learned that the new animation that Kyoani was producing after joining Wanbao was actually "Tamako Market".

Okay!

He had seen this animation. If Seto had not falsely conveyed the imperial decree, the "Tamako Market" that Kyoani was producing should be the "Free Market" in his memory.

It was quite a classic work.

Putting aside the style and the like, if we only talk about fame, this should also be considered one of Kyoto Animation's representative works.

It’s just…

The previous work “Hyouka” was a big hit, why didn’t Kyoani choose to produce a second season, but chose to produce a daily healing animation like “Tamako Market”?

“Because they want to be original!”

Seto explained: “Many people say that the success of “Hyouka” is the credit of the original work. The production team just has a good eye and picked a high-quality novel.”

“Kyoani wants to prove that in addition to adaptation, they also have strong originality, and “Tamako Market” is their first step in testing the waters of originality.”

Is that so!

Gu Miao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Kyoani was not in a hurry to consolidate its popularity after “Hyouka” became a big hit, but instead made an original animation.

It turns out that these people also care about the opinions of the outside world!

Is “Hyouka” the original work that’s powerful?

Kyoani is actually not that great?

If “Tamako Market” is also successful, these remarks will naturally be refuted. Kyoani Studio, which has just joined Wanbao, can also gain a firm foothold, and no one dares to say anything.

In the final analysis.

"Hyouka" is a great animation, but this animation cannot help Kyoani Studio prove itself, because it is an adapted animation, and the original novel is well written.

So Kyoani needs to make an original animation, even if the performance is slightly worse than "Hyouka", it is enough to get rid of all kinds of rumors.

"This theme is well chosen!"

Gu Miao said with great care: "The fast-paced life and the confinement of the reinforced concrete forest have become the most suitable soil for the growth of such animation works."

"Tamako Market" is pretty good.

If this kind of animation was put a few decades ago, not many people might be interested in it, or even confused, and don't know what the meaning of animation is.

But in the context of today's era, the fireworks shown in the animation "Tamako Market" have become a fairyland that many people yearn for.

Times make heroes!

He was happier than anyone else that Kyoani could sense the market trend, perceive this, and produce a high-quality animation like "Tamako Market".

After all...

Kyoani Studio was the team he decided to acquire. Their outstanding performance proved that Mr. Gu's vision was indeed sharp.

But then again.

Gu Miao was very dissatisfied with the fact that Kyoani Studio only considered the TV animation "Tamako Market" and did not consider the theatrical version of "Tamako Love Story".

How could this movie be missing?

Without the addition of "Tamako Love Story", the pure "Tamako Market" would not be so powerful if it was put on the market.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tamako Love Story + Tamako Market perfectly played the role of 1+1>2. This is a theatrical movie that will lead many viewers to watch the TV version after watching it.

Others are not sure.

Anyway, Gu Miao watched "Tamako Love Story" first and felt that the pure love between Mochizo and Tamako was very much to his liking, so he watched the TV version of "Tamako Market".

There may not be many viewers like him who watch the theatrical version first and then the TV version, but there are always some.

So from Gu Miao's perspective, he hopes that the production team of "Tamako Market" can produce the theatrical version of "Tamako Love Story" as soon as possible after completing the TV version.

But this brings another problem.

Is Kyoani Studio Gu's illegitimate child? Why are they so good to him? They started with original works, so they can do it. The problem is that the first original animation has a theatrical version?

What will others think?

At the headquarters, Gu Miao's prestige may be able to suppress it, at least no one dares to complain openly.

But other people in the overseas branch may not think so.

Aren't "Dragon Ball" and "Tom and Jerry" excellent animation works? These works have not been scheduled for theatrical versions, so why did Kyoani confirm it so quickly?
