From White Box To Supervision

Chapter 377: “Monster Story” Disc Sales

The atmosphere of the izakaya itself is a place for office workers to drink, and it is also very suitable for a bowl of mild sake on a cold night.

There was even a TV on the wall, playing “The Lonely Gourmet”, and with Uncle Goro’s food, his stomach couldn’t help but get bigger.

At least Zhang Beichuan felt that he ate a little more than usual, probably because he was in a good mood.

Here, a group of people drinking and chatting continued until a little more than a little, because there is still work tomorrow, so everyone is very restrained.

……

The next morning, Zhang Beichuan reluctantly got up from the quilt. After washing a little, he got up and went for a walk. Then he returned home to make breakfast. The breakfast consisted of egg sandwiches and milk. Most of the breakfasts were made by Aoi Miyamori. Yes, Zhang Beichuan sometimes comes to help her out. Thanks to this, her cooking skills have improved a lot.

“Delicious.” Miyamori Aoi’s eyes lit up.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

After eating, Zhang Beichuan followed her into the studio and returned to a familiar location.

“Good morning, Supervisor Beichuan.”

“Good morning.”

After Qingtian Studio completed “Monster Story”, there were a lot more people. It was originally a time to start a new project, but Zhang Beichuan was in charge of “Xiao Yuan” and had no proper supervision, so he had to send all the people to “Sword Art Online”. On the second season.

With most of the production efforts of the whole company, the speed is very fast. I believe that the quality of the second season of Swordsmanship is definitely not much worse than that of the first season, maybe even higher.

“Here, this is a question for you to fill in. After you fill it out, go to Musashino.”

Aoi Miyamori sent a document from the computer.

Zhang Beichuan read it carefully, and he was still an old acquaintance. It was a question sent by ype magazine, which was backed by Jiao Chuan. Yes, the ype animation award that Zhang Beichuan participated in the previous two months belonged to the other party. The awards have been won again.

According to Miyamori Aoi, these questions need to be filled in by themselves. When that time comes, they will publish their own stories in magazines, and by the way, they will publicize them.

But after looking at it, Zhang Beichuan’s face was strange. How can you say these questions? There are some gossips, think about it carefully, yes, after all, it is an animation magazine, and the people who like to read are also quite curious about these questions, and it is normal to ask these questions to attract people.

The first question is: Hello, Director Beichuan, for you, what animation works affected you when you were a child? District 11 or Huaxia can be said.

After thinking about it, Zhang Beichuan typed: “There are many, such as EVA, Dragon Ball, Huaxia’s childhood lotus lantern, it was very shocking when I saw it.”

Question: “Do you have any hobbies besides daily animation production?”

“Nothing else, just take a rest, watch dramas, listen to songs, and find some delicious food. Ah, I like special dramas very much. This is my hobby, right?”

Question: “When you first entered the industry, you started from production, so what are your feelings about this position?”

Zhang Beichuan: “Although it was very hard at the time, it was the fastest stage of learning and growth, although it was very tiring (laughs).”

Question: “Nowadays, many people want to be an animation supervisor and work hard, but some people don’t know how to draw. Some people think that as a supervisor, they don’t know how to draw and it won’t have much impact. What do you think.”

Zhang Beichuan: “As an animation supervisor, if you don’t know how to draw, it doesn’t mean that you can’t act as a supervisor. A supervisor needs to have a full understanding of the works and animation steps he is responsible for, including camera language, time rhythm, and comments on characters. To judge the ability, it is not necessary to be able to draw, it can only be said that those who can draw can be very helpful in their own production, or have great use.”

……

Zhang Beichuan filled out all the questions, especially the gossip questions he dealt with casually, and then sent them to Miyamori Aoi. After saying ‘ok’, Zhang Beichuan went to Musashino to make Madoka. .

Another week has passed, and the sixth episode of Monster Story has been played. The first volume of Monster Story CD has been pre-sold on Amazon. There are six volumes in total, including the special radio drama. Currently, only the first volume is on sale. At this time , stores in major cities have also begun to be put on the shelves one after another, and everything is ready to go.

“Ah, ah, it’s online, it’s sold out, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.”

“The Monster Talk CD is now online. Personally, I don’t like buying CDs, but this animation is very collectible. It’s like a work of art, so buy a copy.”

“I want to buy three copies, preach, collect, and enjoy myself.”

“I bought it for the music. The character songs are pretty good. Also, Zhanbahara is really beautiful.”

……

‘Kitamura Kazuma’ is the owner of an animation and video store in Akihabara, Tokyo. He has been in this industry for more than 30 years, and he is very experienced. Just yesterday, he entered 50 sets of “Monster Story”. ‘s disc.

Fifty sets are not too few. If it was the peak of the disc market that year, it would not be enough, but Kitamura, who has experienced that peak era, can feel that the disc market has become more and more decaying, and there is a kind of decline. I feel that these fifty sets, in fact, he also feels that he has entered a little too much. He is running a small shop, and fifty copies are quite risky. If they can’t sell it, it will be broken.

“I hope the popularity of this animation will be better, please.” Kitamura Kazuma secretly prayed to himself, and then opened the store truthfully, and started his own day of opening a store,

It’s just that ~www.readwn.com~ has just opened, and a lot of people have poured in, which has never been seen before.

“Boss, do you have a CD of “Monster Story”? I want to buy one. The store I went to just now is all sold out.” A boy who was about the age of a high school student said.

“Ah, yes, I’ll get it for you.”

“Boss, I also want the “Monster Story” CD, and I want two sets.”

“Give me a set too.”

……

“Okay, right now.”

Soon, in Kitamura Kazun’s dazed eyes, the 50 sets of CDs on the shelf with “Monster Story” were all sold out, but more people came in, and they all came to buy “The Story” From the CD of “Monster Tale”.

“Is the boss still there?”

“Is it sold again? This is already the third one.”

……

“I’m very sorry”, we’re sold out here, we’ll go in right away. ”

Kitamura Kazun immediately said to the clerk at work: “You comfort the customer right away, I’ll be stocking up right away.”

“Okay, store manager.” The clerk slid cold sweat over his forehead, and then tried to comfort the crowd.

At this moment, Kazuma Kitamura, who was on the phone, seemed to have returned to that era, the peak of the optical disc market.

Kitamura Kazun bought 300 sets again, but it only lasted for most of the day. In less than afternoon, they were sold out again. As time passed, the number of people did not decrease.
