"Ninety-five percent of the original plot is restored?"
Although Mu Fan only stated his only request, such a simple request made the faces of all the B1 production team members present become solemn.
Director Hayama picked up the first volume of the light novel "Accelerated World", opened it and glanced at it, then looked at Mu Fan and said calmly:
"To be honest, when we animate novels, we follow a commercial process in order to let the novels enter marketing and get more people to watch. For example, the novel "Accelerated World", how to modify the plot and arrange the plot for animation? Our production team has professional staff who have ten years of animation experience and are much more professional than you.”
"I understand that the production team can delete some of my plot appropriately, but they cannot change the main point."
Mu Fan said decisively.
He has also heard about the animation produced by the B1 production team.
Of course, when he came to this world, he also watched a lot of animations produced by B1. In general, he really responded to the comments of netizens with no lower limit and no upper limit.
The general idea is that the B1 production team may produce a terrible and terrible novel with a lightly adapted animation, or it may produce a masterpiece that breaks through the sky.
To put it simply, the animation production of this production team is extremely unstable.
Just like the stock market, it is full of risks.
The reason why Mu Fan asked to animate the story according to the original plot was, first of all, because of the efforts he and Sagiri and others had made, as well as the suggestions of a group of his own book fans such as Erina Nakiri and Rika Akitaba.
Although this has great limitations, it can ensure the plot of the original work, and at least the original party will like it very much.
The most important point is that Mu Fan knows very well that he copied the book through the system. In order to respect the original author, he cannot let "Accelerated World" be changed beyond recognition by the B1 production team.
This is the only thing he can do, which is his bottom line.
To be honest, he doesn't care about the animation money at all now.
Even if he has no money, at least he can support Sagiri with his current status.
Occasionally open a restaurant for a day, and many people will come to buy the dishes he cooks due to his reputation as the first in the food festival.
With the money he earns in one day, he can keep it alive for several months. If the B1 production team doesn't agree with his opinion, then they might as well not animate it.
In the contract he signed, this copyright was still included.
Hearing Mu Fan's words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was sitting next to him, smiled with satisfaction.
As an author, naturally you don’t want your work to be changed. Even from a commercial perspective, it is not advisable.
After the changes are completed, this anime just has the name of its own light novel, but in a sense, is this still a novel that I created
In other words, the production team is just using the reputation of this novel to deceive the audience.
Mu Fan's words spoke exactly to Kasumigaoka Shiyu's heart, changing her image of Mu Fan once again.
"To be honest, I was very surprised when I received the news that the light novel "Accel World" will be animated."
Seeing that Mu Fan disagreed, Director Ye Shan's expression turned cold, and he looked at Mu Fan and said, "This book, the first time I saw it, I really like this grand world view, this technology, very close to reality, and Judging from the fact that RECT has collaborated with major game production companies to produce "SAO", within ten years, our world will be able to restore this world view, which is very relevant and novel for readers."
But the praise only ended here. Next, Director Hayama threw "Accel World" on the table and said coldly: "But after I saw the next plot, I gave up this light novel. I really This is the first time I see such a cowardless male protagonist. It’s okay to be a coward, and he’s also a fat nerd. Once such a disgusting anime character is animated, many people who watch the anime will definitely have the idea of “abandoning it in one episode”. It is recommended that the protagonist of this novel be changed to a handsome guy type.”
"Director Wu Ke, I very much agree with your suggestion!"
Mu Fan is naturally very clear about the matter of "life is worse than a speeding pig, death is worse than a scissor dog". Many people in the previous anime also became disgusted with the image of Haruyuki Arita after watching the first episode, so they immediately responded to Hayama Wu Ke's suggestion. expressed his approval.
Seeing that Mu Fan finally agreed, the members of the B1 production team looked relieved, while Kasumigaoka Shiyu's brows furrowed.
What on earth was this man thinking, that his own book had been changed and he still agreed to it
For a time, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's attitude towards Mu Fan dropped to rock bottom.
She was very disappointed that the boy she had always valued turned out to be the author who would do anything to change her novel for the sake of business.
But then, Mu Fan's answer was completely unexpected.
"Although I agree with your suggestion, I cannot accept the characters of "Accel World" being modified."
"Why?"
Hayama Wu Ke frowned, stood up from his chair, and said, "Does Mr. Mu Fan not trust our production team? If he doesn't trust us, then forget about this animation."
"It's not that I don't trust you. On the contrary, I can see from your suggestions just now that you have a very high level."
Mu Fan was not in a hurry. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "It's just that you have forgotten the artistic conception of this novel."
"artistic conception?"
Yeshan Wu Ke asked: "What artistic conception are you talking about?"
"Well, it's the artistic conception."
Mu Fan's answer made Kasumigaoka Shiyu smile happily. Before Mu Fan could say anything, she took the lead and added: "In my opinion, the artistic conception of "Accelerated World" is that of the dead house Arita Haruyuki. Although he is a fat house and a good-for-nothing, But in order to protect his beloved girl, he became stronger and braver, and eventually became a true knight and warrior."
"If you change him into a handsome guy, the artistic conception will be changed from the beginning, and it will weaken the strong idea of such a useless otaku to protect his beloved girl."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu became more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, he stood up from his chair and explained: "To be precise, the greatest theme of this book lies in the word "transformation". Just like the ugly duckling can finally change one day." Become a swan. This idea of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly is something that, as a director, you have never been able to understand.
"It's like the author borrowing the plot. It will only create a gap in the writing style. You are not the original author and you can't understand the mood of the book. If you modify the plot at random, won't you just destroy the atmosphere of the book?"
"An example is my "Metronome of Love"
Saying that, Kasumigaoka Shiyu took out her mobile phone, clicked on a webpage, looked at the comments from netizens and said: "The plot of this book is very short, but in the first season, because you changed the artistic conception of the book, everything became too... Being careless and smooth, catering to your so-called cool articles, has led to another scandal about the B1 production team having no limits. This will not be conducive to your so-called commercialization, and will only deepen other people's prejudice against you. "
"As for the next season of "Metronome of Love", I, like Mr. Mu Shi Fanchen, also do not allow the plot of my novel to be modified again by the production team. Please respect our original authors and restore the artistic conception of the novel that we have worked hard to create. ”
