"Attack on Titan"!
After hearing this familiar name, Baiyunshan's inner guess was finally confirmed, and he couldn't help but raise his brows slowly.
Yes, it is also a comic that meets the above conditions. In addition to the previous names, the one that is particularly memorable for future generations is "Attack on Titan"!
This comic was serialized in Kodansha's comic magazine "Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine" in 2009. It is said that at the beginning, the author...the young man in his twenties, Isayama Hajime, was... I planned to submit my article to Neon's famous "Weekly Shonen Jump", but the editor who reviewed it said that it was not suitable for the style of "Weekly Shonen Jump" and asked him to modify the style before coming back.
However, the result was obvious. The author Hajime Isayama refused to give in, so he switched to the current "Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine". Who knew that he would be out of control, and last year he even won the "This Comic is So Awesome" award. 》The first place award in the male list was unparalleled for a while.
But Baiyunshan knows that this is actually just the beginning.
Next year, that is, when the first animation adapted from this comic is launched in 2013, this work will really become popular!
At that time, the first animation of "Attack on Titan" could be said to have swept the entire circle with its unrivaled attitude! The extent of its popularity surprised even the original author of the manga, Isayama Hajime. The content, whether it is plot, painting, music, or art, has reached the top level, and everyone is full of praise. There is no doubt that it is ceiling!
As for "Attack on Titan", it is precisely with this animated work that it has been making great progress since then. Every work released since then has guaranteed both popularity and reputation. This work was subsequently promoted to the altar and became one of the masterpieces that attracted much attention, and the benefits it brought are needless to say.
But now... none of this is known yet.
The popularity of comic works itself has not yet reached the huge increase brought by animation in later generations. The animation is still in preparation, and it is not even ready to be announced to the outside world. Not to mention others, among the people present, even the author himself did not understand the influence his own work would have in the future.
This is a God-given opportunity!
Associating yourself, and even your own little idols, with "Attack on Titan", a work that will be a big hit in the future, there is no doubt that the increase in popularity will bring about. By then, if you follow this trend and soar, the effect will be even greater than One or two singles add up to much more.
By then it will not only be "Attack on Titan", but in the idol circle, Attack Nogizaka will also be officially born!
Thinking of this, Baiyunshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his smile during the greeting couldn't help but become more sincere. After the two of them took their seats, they couldn't wait to start communicating.
"You two don't know what to do with me?"
The two of them had just sat down in their seats and their buttocks were not yet warm and looked at each other. Finally, the author Isayama Hajime who just spoke spoke slowly and said slowly: "It's like this. The manga "Attack on Titan" has not been serialized so far. It has been almost four years. Due to the good momentum last year, a production company approached me not long ago this year, hoping to start animation. After discussing with the editor, I also felt that this plan was good, so I I agreed—"
"To be specific, let me let the person next to me, Mr. Tetsurou Araki, the current tentative animation director, communicate with you."
As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man in his thirties next to him.
The middle-aged director Tetsuro Araki, who has long hair and a literary and artistic atmosphere, nodded and said calmly: "Actually, the cooperation is not complicated. I just want to ask Bai Sang to help us arrange a song for the next animated work. It just suits the music. We have seen the works you created before. Although the style does not match ours very well, I believe this should not be difficult, right?"
"certainly."
Baiyunshan nodded, then raised his eyebrows, and pointedly said: "But Mr. Araki, don't you have any requirements? I mean, for example, as an OP or ED, or as a musical background to highlight a certain section. ?A grasp of certain aspects of style? Isn’t there any requirement in this regard?”
"Well, there are no requirements -"
Upon hearing this, Supervisor Araki subconsciously glanced at a certain cheap senior who was silent next to him, and then shook his head.
Baiyunshan immediately understood that this must be the additional condition brought by the cheap senior's compensation. The requirements for cooperation must have been negotiated in advance, so he just asked himself to write a song to participate, and the specific benefits would naturally be there. , and the pressure on cooperation can also be reduced a lot, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The only pity is... I don't need such relaxation——
Baiyunshan said silently with a strange expression on his face, then coughed slightly and said, "Well, I just have a suitable song here, how about it be the OP of this collaboration?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people present looked a little strange.
A certain cheap senior raised his eyebrows and looked quite surprised. He obviously didn't expect that Baiyunshan would take the initiative to make such a request. Instead of taking advantage of the benefits on his face, he actually made it more difficult for himself. This was really unexpected. . It would be fair to say that he is a fool who doesn't understand what's going on, but judging from his past performance, his nominal disciple doesn't look like a fool, right?
This is interesting.
As for Hajime Isayama and the other two, they also looked quite shocked. They had already known the entire content of this cooperation before they came, and knew that this was just a simple business cooperation. The other party selects a song to add to the music list of this animated work. It may be used, but it may only appear in a short section. The only purpose is to appear in the subsequent personnel list. The purpose is obvious. .
So what does this mean? Taking the initiative to make requests to increase the workload and difficulty for yourself? I really saw a strange person——
"To be honest, I have always been paying close attention to "Attack on Titan" created by Mr. Isayama Hajime, and I am considered a small fan. Therefore, I have tried to create something that matches your work for a long time. Style of music, now it seems that this song should be just the product of our cooperation——"
Baiyunshan continued to talk to himself. After these words were spoken, the shocked expressions of several people gradually calmed down, and they roughly understood what he meant.
Although this reason is simple, it is not empty, and it is persuasive enough. After all, the circle of literary and artistic creators is so large. There are many examples of people who have read or been influenced by each other's works. There is nothing to question. This is also a very common phenomenon——
"It's such a coincidence that there is such a thing—"
Isayama Hajime, who is still just starting out in the manga industry and can only be regarded as a small manga artist, couldn't help but feel a little flattered, and he quickly smiled and spoke.
Supervisor Araki next to him asked curiously: "I don't know, Bai Sang, what is the name of the song you composed?"
Baiyunshan raised his lips when he heard this. Yes, if the comic "Attack on Titan" became completely popular and became a phenomenon-level work because of the animation in 2013, then it would make the animation popular. One of the major heroes that almost everyone has heard of. In addition to the excellence in the content and plot of his paintings, there is another point that is undoubtedly important!
That's the OP of it.
That song is extremely popular, catches the ear, and is so exciting that the middle school boys at that age can't control themselves. Even after being brainwashed over and over again, they can still feel excited as if they were listening to it as a muscle reflex!
Its name is——
"HL bows!"
