NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
Chapter 23-Reversal of Public Opinion
Throughout the interview process, Makoto Takagi and Asada Kako talked a lot, and also mentioned the meaning of the name “CLANNAD”, what happened when the dubbing staff was invited to audition for the animation, the interesting things that happened during the animation production process, etc. .
As for DOS’s last work “Heartbeat Cabin”, neither of them mentions it. It seems that DOS has never done this animation.
In the evening, Takagi Makoto invited Asada Kakoko a meal.
Of course, I did not forget the photographer.
It’s one thing to not show your face, it doesn’t mean that the photographer hasn’t photographed anything.
Monday, April 10.
The relevant articles of the interview finally came out, and then soon aroused a heated discussion in the animation circle:
“The script has not been changed? I thought I was looking at the optimized version.”
“I don’t have much talent, and the level is very average. Is this talking about human words?”
“Fortunately, President Takagi insisted on his own opinion, otherwise it would be another version of “Love Academy”.”
“President Takagi is wrong, DOS is wrong.”
“Oda Zongzheng is really disgusting. Because of his strange preferences, he almost ruined a good animation. Before, he said that President Takagi doesn’t understand animation. I think he is the one who doesn’t understand animation.”
“I can’t watch “Love Academy” at all, thinking that the audience’s preferences are still in 2005?”
“Oda Zongzheng is disgusting, and ABK is not much better. In order to invite Oda to be a supervisor, he said that CL’s plan itself was bad. It was really a work.”
…
Everything was as expected by Makoto Takagi, and Yulun really had a 180-degree reversal.
Before, everyone condemned Makoto Takagi and attacked DOS. Now, in turn, everyone has condemned Oda Zongzheng and Chihiro Anoka, and even the entire ABK has been involved.
However, I really want to say that when Chihiro Anoka asked Oda Zongzheng to be the supervisor of “Love Academy”, ABK was originally the beneficiary, so it was not quite right to say that the entire ABK was involved.
In short, the negative comments on Takagi Makoto and DOS have disappeared, replaced by praise:
“President Takagi is really amazing.”
“I declare that President Takagi will be my idol in the future.”
“CLANNAD actually means family. How did President Takagi come up with this name? Isn’t it too talented?”
“A lot of foreshadowings have been buried since the first episode? It seems that every word in the future has to be recorded and read several times.”
“DOS was inherently inadequate, and it was targeted and discredited by all kinds of targets, but in the end it was able to do such a good animation. It is really admirable.”
…
With the whole circle of heated discussion, CL’s popularity has become even higher. On the other hand, “Love Academy”, because Oda Zongzheng and Anoka Chihiro have met with resistance from many people, although the popularity will not be lost for a while. , But a large part of it must be sucked away by CL.
Taking advantage of the hot discussion on the whole network, Qianchuan suddenly increased its propaganda offensive.
TBS also invested part of its resources to promote the CL animation.
Even the voice actors who dubbed CL have taken action to participate in various activities to increase their popularity, and at the same time they are helping CL to promote.
Therefore, when the second episode of CL was broadcast on April 14, the ratings and popularity all skyrocketed.
As for ABK’s “Love Academy”, when the first episode was broadcast, the ratings were actually higher than that of CL. However, when the second episode was broadcast, the ratings did not rise, but dropped by a large margin, and the gap suddenly appeared. It was pulled away in the opposite direction.
ABK’s meeting room.
Both Anoka Chihiro and Oda Zongzheng had very ugly faces.
Before the first episode was broadcast, they thought it was stable, thinking that CL was not a threat to them at all, and they even wanted to hit the throne of the season’s animation.
But now, everything has become a phantom.
Not to mention hitting the throne of the season’s animation, how to stabilize the popularity of “Love Academy” is a big problem.
The condemnation on the Internet has severely affected the popularity of “Love Academy”. Even if the follow-up plot of this animation is not bad, others saw that it was made by Chihiro Anoka and Masazu Oda, I am afraid that the interest will be halved in an instant.
But now the general trend is on Takagi Makoto’s side, on the DOS side, how they respond here is wrong.
Can’t respond!
However, do nothing, just be a tortoise with a shrunken head, otherwise the popularity of “Love Academy” may sooner or later lose its popularity.
“What should I do now? Is there any way to save it?” Oda Zongzheng looked at Chihiro Anoka and asked.
Chihiro Anoka didn’t answer immediately. He pondered for a moment before he said: “CL’s popularity must be hit. Only when CL’s popularity drops, we have a chance to stand up.”
“I know this, the key is how to fight it.” Oda Zongzheng looked sad.
Chihiro Anoka thought for a while and asked: “You have read the script of the first three episodes of CL. How many do you remember?”
“Are you asking me to leak out the script of their third episode?” Oda Zongzheng was suddenly startled.
Soon he refused: “This can’t work, let alone I have forgotten almost, once this kind of thing is discovered, I won’t need to be a supervisor in the future.”
“It’s not for you to divulge the script, but I just want to know the general direction of the animation.” Chihiro Anoka explained, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, you don’t have to know it anyway.”
“Again-san has paid attention?” Oda Zongzheng asked quickly.
“There is an idea.”
Chihiro Anoka nodded, “In this situation, it is definitely impossible to force a slander, so let’s do the opposite.”
“The other way around? Touted CL?” Oda Zongzheng suddenly became a little puzzled.
“It’s not flattering either.”
Chihiro Anoka smiled, “If I remember correctly, when Takagi went to invest in Chikawa, he said that what they wanted to do was an animation with a bit of joy and sadness, and that although their animation was a beautiful girl, The focus is on healing.”
“It’s true.” Oda Zongzheng confirmed.
“Then you say, if we secretly take action to tout the healing elements of this animation, and emphasize that this is an animation that allows the audience to cry, what will happen then?” Chihiro Anoka asked with a smile.
Oda Zongzheng was stunned for a moment, and said with some speechlessness: “If the follow-up of the animation can’t achieve the healing effect, it can indeed hit their popularity, but I doubt that this DOS animation can indeed heal the audience and make the audience cry. ”
“No, no, you don’t understand that.”
Chihiro Anoka is very disapproving, “Generally speaking, all healing is inadvertently moved. If someone repeatedly emphasizes it, tell you in advance that this animation is very touching. It can make people cry, and you can still be moved when you watch it. Can it be cured?”
Oda Zongzheng heard this, thoughtful.
