The author has something to say:
Since some girls mentioned the issue of voice actors, let me give a brief explanation here.
The setting of this article is a parallel world with global unification, which means that there is only one country on Blue Planet. Therefore, the audience will not feel strange about the Japanese and English names in the animation, because Blue Planet itself is an integrated whole.
The language was neither Mandarin nor Japanese or English, the common language of Blue Star. Muxuxing asked with a smile: "Want to make a bet?"
Wen Feihang and Fang Lian glanced at him and turned around and left without hesitation: "Let's go, there's no time to lose, let's go and discuss with the school what to do."
"There are also on-campus recruitments. We'll post them on all the bulletin boards in the school. Then we'll hold a small job fair and select a dozen suitable laborers... ahem, employees."
The two of them were talking, and then they walked away without looking back, as if they had not heard what Mu Suxing said at all, which made Mu Suxing feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The task of communicating with the school was given to the two of them, while Mu Suxing began to retreat and focus on thinking about the script.
The advantages and disadvantages of "is" are very obvious. It is a very typical commercial light novel, without any lofty connotations. Almost all the plots it sets up exist to please the audience. As the first part, it is easy to achieve extremely high sales.
As for the followers who come after him, they are not within Mu Suxing's consideration. After all, with the system mall, he has no worries about not having good scripts that have both quality and sales volume.
After determining his general direction, Mu Xuxing began to write the script.
Although the original light novel is a text version, Mu Suxing still plans to write a text script himself. Firstly, what he wants to do is to adapt the animation, not copy it. It is also important to make an appropriate adaptation while maintaining the highlights of the original. Secondly... I can only say that as a harem light novel that sells sex to serve otakus, the writing style and lines of "is" are really bad.
After reading the original novel, Mu Suxing found it difficult to draw a storyboard script with such a writing style, so he simply rewrote a text script himself.
He is currently only level 5 in the ability of screenwriting and narrative. If he is adapting a masterpiece like "Naruto", it will definitely be very difficult, because "Naruto" itself has some plots and loopholes that need to be corrected and supplemented. For example, Naruto once said that his promise to change the Hyuga family after becoming Hokage must be fulfilled? There is no need to copy the death of Hyuga Neji, not to mention the ending. Maki Susei suspects that if he dared to let Sasuke atone for his sins, he might make a fortune by selling blades in the second half of his life.
Having said that, these holes cannot be filled just because he wants to. Mu Suxing estimates that he will not be able to try to adapt "Naruto" until his ability in screenwriting narrative and storyboard rhythm reaches at least level 8.
But when it comes to works like "is", there is no pressure at all.
It has to be said that the original light novel of "is" is indeed worthy of the "reputation" of "buy illustrations and get toilet paper for free". The lines in the whole text are extremely childish, and there are even frequent problems with incoherent sentences, which makes people frequently lose interest in the play. While rewriting it, Mu Suxing couldn't help but have a high respect for the production team of another dimension--
How dedicated a production team must be to turn such a bad original novel into a textbook-level example of harem-themed commercial animation
Mu Suxing first read the original light novel of "IS" repeatedly, and then took out a blank book to consider the overall modification plan.
First of all, the plot of the original novel is very simple and crude. To put it in one sentence, "I don't know why all the girls love the hero anyway." Although it is illogical and extremely stupid, Mu Suxing does not intend to change it - who makes many viewers buy into this
At the moment, the blue planet where he is is extremely similar to the period when "IS" appeared on Earth: although there are harem animations, most of them pay attention to the basic laws and have not reached the point of completely abandoning the brain. "IS" is the first one that completely ignores logic.
For most animations, this is a shortcoming, but for commercial animations, this is a period that they must go through in their development process and naturally cannot be changed.
After simply sorting out the story, the moving time agreed with Qin Sheng arrived. Fortunately, he didn't need to pack much, and most of the daily necessities were prepared early in the morning. By the time Mu Suxing had packed all his things, it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.
Dinner was oyster mushroom and egg noodles prepared by Aunt Lan, the housekeeper. The two of them sat at the dining table and ate together. Mu Suxing tentatively talked about the school's support plan and that he might be busy with animation in the near future. Qin Sheng just listened to him quietly, occasionally asking a question or two.
"You can work, but you can't lose control," Qin Sheng said. His expression had returned to the state they were in before. As for what he was thinking, it was unknown: "If you need anything, just call me directly - remember the number?"
Muxuxing nodded obediently: "Remember."
In the evening, the two naturally went back to their rooms. The awkward scene that Mu Suxing had expected did not occur. Their "living together" life did not seem to be much different from before. One of them was doing game development and the other focused on animation production. They were the type who got up early and came home late when they were busy. They only occasionally took a walk together in the morning and talked about their academic progress over dinner.
It is worth mentioning that Mu Suxing's bad habit of writing scripts and drawing all night long has been completely corrected. With Qin Sheng watching over him, he couldn't even practice Taoism and could only follow the other party's requirements. After half a month, apart from anything else, his complexion has really improved a lot.
Neither of them mentioned the accident that night again.
Mu Suxing decided to wait until he finished the animation he was working on before talking to Qin Sheng about this matter. On the one hand, he needed some time to think about it, and on the other hand, it would give Qin Sheng enough time to observe the difference between him now and his past self. By then, no matter whether Qin Sheng believed it or not, Mu Suxing planned to tell him about his rebirth.
When the school's notices were posted all over the bulletin boards of Xingning Art University, Mu Suxing's script had also reached the tenth episode. The three of them chose a cafe near the school, which was a simple summary of the work in the first phase.
"I have already discussed it with the school. They will set aside a classroom for us to interview," Wen Feihang said, taking out a thick stack of materials: "These are their completed application forms. We will screen them and notify the remaining candidates to come for interviews."
Fang connected the information and flipped through it casually: "We don't want this Shen Bo - all the high scores in the final exam were cheated, and his lab classes were basically a mess. He is too useless. He will only hold us back if he comes."
"This Yu Yuan is OK. His original painting skills are basically up to standard. Let's keep him."
The three of them quickly went through the information. During this time, Fang Lian even took out a card that had fought him for three hundred rounds on the campus forum.
"What I hate most is this kind of fence-sitter," Fang Lian said with a disgusted look on his face: "Before, he was leading the discussion on the forums saying that Ah Mu didn't deserve the position, and now that we're making an animation, he's shamelessly coming over here. How shameless."
Mu Suxing didn't care about it: "Then let's change someone." There are many students who want to join the group, so it doesn't matter if one person is missing. Anyway, they have plenty of more outstanding students to make up for it.
"By the way, I have already written the animation script up to episode 10. You can take a look at it first."
"Infinite Stratos? What a strange name. Let me take a look." Wen Feihang took the script with great interest. After he finished reading it, his expression became subtle: "This..."
Mu Suxing smiled slightly. He was not surprised by Wen Feihang's reaction. He turned to look at Fang Lian: "Fang Lian, what do you think?"
In stark contrast to Wen Feihang's slightly tangled expression, Fang Lian was now full of excitement. He couldn't wait to finish reading the script and said solemnly: "I declare that from today on, Cecilia is my new wife!"
Cecilia is the beautiful girl with golden curly hair who is a candidate for the British representative in "Infinite Stratos".
"Where's the script?" Mu Xiuxing asked, "Is there anything that needs to be revised?"
"Modify?" Fang Lian raised an eyebrow in surprise and said incredulously: "This script is simply a masterpiece, what is there to modify?"
Mu Suxing smiled slightly, knowing that his desired goal had been achieved.
"But -" Wen Feihang frowned: "Don't you think this script has a lot of logical loopholes? And the setting is also... Although I can understand that harem anime is best with an unbalanced ratio of men and women, this "Infinite Stratos" is too..."
The only man in the world who can use IS entered the IS Academy which is only for women. This setting is fundamentally full of naked flattery to the otaku audience. In Wen Feihang's opinion, this is simply unreasonable.
"But," Fang Lian interrupted him: "Don't you think Cecilia is very cute?"
Wen Feihang: "???"
"Actually, Lingyin is also very cute. After all, loli is justice!" Fang Lian lifted his chin and became worried: "But Charlotte, who has a black-bellied personality, is also super cute. Lafla, a girl who was raised as a weapon of war, is also quite pitiful... Can I choose both?"
Wen Feihang didn't really want to pay attention to him.
Fang Lian was very excited: "By the way, what are you going to do about the voice actor, Mu?"
Muxuxing smiled and said, "If you mean Cecilia, my preferred candidate is CV Liu Wan."
――That is, the famous otaku goddess in today's CV industry.
The so-called commercial animation should, of course, look like what a commercial animation should look like. Mu Suxing does not plan to use newcomers. This time, if he can, he will try his best to choose the male gods and goddesses who are already famous in the CV industry!
Even if he cannot invite these well-known voice actors, he can still invite future big-name voice actors with his memories of his past life. In a word, he must replace all the audience's wives!
"Don't pay attention to Hangzi, that guy's aesthetic taste has long been distorted--" Fang Lian put his hand on Mu Suxing's shoulder and said seriously: "Believe me, Amu, I think this animation will definitely be a hit!"
