Chapter 2278 Promotional Video Online
"What are you looking at, scumbag senior?" Looking at Yushan Kazuto, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but come over and lay on Yushan Kazuto's shoulder.
"Can you sit up straighter?" Feeling the sudden pressure on his shoulders, Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask.
"Kome-chan has no strength now." Domama-chan said with a pout.
As she spoke, Doma Mai glanced at the screen of Yushan Kazuto's mobile phone. However, the anti-peeping screen design made Doma Mai blink slightly.
"What are you looking at, scumbag senior?" asked Tsuchima Mai again.
"It's just a promotional video for the national competition." Yushan Kazuto shrugged and turned the phone screen to Doma Yui to show her.
Watching the smooth cooperation between Hayama Kazuto and Sakurajima Mai in the video, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but puff up her cheeks slightly.
But think about it, the scenes in the video are shot and edited after all, so Doma looked at Yushan Kazuto and said, "Didn't they say it would be released in August?"
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Yushan Heren nodded and said.
"But if it was released in August, the animation schedule would be too short, so we finally decided to postpone the release date."
In addition to the construction period, there is another reason - September is the start of the school season, and the national competition qualifiers in various regions are gradually kicking off. Releasing the promotional video at this time will have a better effect.
"Oh, yes, there is also an animation promotional video." Hearing this, Doma Mai finally recalled.
The promotional video for this national competition was released simultaneously as a live-action promotional video and an animated promotional video.
However, because the animated promotional video has to refer to the live-action promotional video, its production will start a little later.
In addition, the national competition committee had high requirements for the animated promotional video, so the time was a bit tight to complete the production of the promotional video within the original time.
"Do you remember, Umaru-chan, that the character design for the animation promotional video was completed by Sagiri?" After thinking for a while, Umaru-chan couldn't help but speak.
During the days in Karuizawa, Izumi Sagiri was busy working on character design.
Whenever she saw Izumi Sagiri drawing seriously while she herself seemed to be idle, Doma Mai couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
"Yes." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
"Scumbag senior, give it to Kouma-chan." Domama-chan stretched out her hand and wanted to take Yushan Kazuto's phone, but Yushan Kazuto slapped the back of her hand with lightning speed, causing Domama-chan to feel a pain.
"Why did you hit Komari, you scumbag senior!" Touching her slightly red hand, Komari couldn't help but pout.
"Don't you have a cell phone? Bring me my cell phone." Yushan Heren couldn't help but give Tujianmai a blank look and said.
"Well, there's no need to hit Komari's hand." Domama Mei said somewhat aggrievedly.
"I'll give you a beating so that you'll remember this lesson." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
"A violent maniac!" Upon hearing this, Tsuchima Mai looked at Yushan Kazuto with a cold face.
Yushan Kazuto ignored what Doma Yui said and continued watching the promotional video.
I have to say that the editing of this promotional video was really good. Even Mai Sakurajima looked like a professional athlete.
Although after a period of training, Mai Sakurajima has some skills in football, she is not as professional as shown in the video.
On the other hand, the animated promotional video was also made with great care. After all, it was a work produced by the national competition committee at no cost.
There are several actions that Yushan Kazuto feels are particularly lifelike.
But because of this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
After all, these actions are actually close-up contents that were shot additionally after the entire filming of the promotional video was completed.
Originally, Yushan Kazuto thought that these close-ups would only be used to fill the completeness of the promotional video, but he did not expect that they would be done so solemnly in the animation promotional video.
Several close-up actions, in terms of movement smoothness and image tension, are not on the same level as the rest of the paintings.
Especially the personal close-up of Yushan and others, which is even more refined, just like the difference between 24 frames rate and 60 frames rate.
Watching the character based on himself in the animation promotional video, who used his chest to stop the ball with ease, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and naturally didn't want to give the phone to Tsuchima Mai.
On the other side, Tsuchima Mai pursed her lips slightly. She always felt that Yushan Kazuto must have something to hide since he was unwilling to give her the phone.
But after thinking about it, Doma Mai took out her cell phone and started searching for it herself.
The national competition committee released two promotional videos at once. Each video was twelve minutes long, which made Doma Mai blink slightly.
She had seen the promotional videos released for previous national competitions, but none of them were longer than five minutes. Yet today, such a long promotional video was released all at once.
If the two parts are combined, they are almost as long as an episode of anime.
The first version that Doma Mai clicked on was the live-action version. As soon as the buffering was completed, a football flew towards the camera. Doma Mai couldn't help but step back, a little scared.
The scene changed, and the football bounced evenly in front of the camera. At the same time, in the direction of the camera, Sakurajima Mai was running towards it evenly with a surprised and apologetic expression.
The camera zoomed out and everyone understood what had just happened.
It turned out that when Sakurajima Mai was playing football, she accidentally let the ball fly out of bounds and almost hit other people passing by.
However, as luck would have it, the person who happened to be passing by the side of the court was Yushan Kazuto. He lightly stopped the ball with his leg, then took it off, and started juggling the ball at the same time.
Mai Sakurajima walked to the side of Kazuto Hayama, as if she wanted to express her apology, but Kazuto Hayama just smiled slightly, winked at Mai Sakurajima, and the two ran towards the court.
Although in the video, neither Yushan Kazuto nor Sakurajima Mai said anything about anyone, but the eye contact alone was enough to make people understand.
While watching the promotional video, Tsuchiya couldn't help biting her lip, feeling a little unhappy.
But even though she felt uncomfortable, she continued watching it. After all, she thought the promotional video was very well made.
In addition, the promotional video also features contributions from Kazuto Hayama and Sagiri Izumi.
Even if this promotional video was poorly made, Doma Mai would still insist on watching it to the end, not to mention that the entire promotional video is so exquisite and thoughtful.
Chapter 2279 Shocked Mamoru
"Hmph, the scumbag senior spent so much time filming, and this is all he produced?" After watching the promotional video, Doma Mai looked at Yushan Kazuto and couldn't help but say.
"No, there's nothing I can do! The director demands perfection." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he reacted very quickly and then spoke.
What Doma Mai didn't know was that although Kazuto Hayama and Mai Sakurajima changed several sets of clothes in the video, all the shots were actually shot within two hours.
If Doma Mai had carefully observed the changes in light, she might have been able to see it, but Doma Mai paid more attention to the interaction between Yuyama Kazuto and Sakurajima Mai.
"So, the scumbag senior went out during that period and stayed with that Sakurajima Mai all day long?" Tsuchima Mai said softly.
"What do you mean the whole day? It's only one or two hours a day." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
"And this is the candidate chosen by the competition committee. I can't ask the competition committee to change the person, right?"
Listening to what Hayama Kazuto said, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but pout. What Hayama Kazuto said was indeed right. After all, Sakurajima Mai was the tournament spokesperson manager for the national competition, and it was understandable that the tournament committee invited her to shoot a promotional video.
But Doma Mai was a little dissatisfied. Why did the organizing committee insist on arranging Hayama Kazuto and Sakurajima Mai in the same team? Wouldn't it be better to arrange them as opponents directly?
In fact, the original national competition committee had this idea, which was to film a "face-slapping" plot.
The plot is that when Mai Sakurajima first met Kazuto Hayama, she didn't know how to play football. Once, Kazuto Hayama was playing football on the field, and Mai Sakurajima wanted to join in, but was fooled by Kazuto Hayama's football skills.
After that, after a period of hard training, Mai Sakurajima finally improved her skills steadily. Finally, she met Kazuto Hayama in the game and defeated him.
When Kazuto Hayama was feeling depressed, Mai Sakurajima took the initiative to lend a helping hand to Kazuto Hayama and helped him out of his predicament. Eventually, the two became good friends who often exchanged ball skills with each other.
However, after this plot was designed, some of the competition committee did not like it.
As for advantages, there are some. According to the plot design, Mai Sakurajima can occupy the most roles in the promotional video.
The other party is the event manager of the national competition and also a national idol. If the filming is done in this way, it can at least attract Sakurajima Mai's core base.
But the problem is that such a script is too far away from reality.
Everyone has witnessed the football skills of Yushan Kazuto. He is definitely one of the top football players of this age group.
This can be seen from the fact that Kazuto Yuyama had received invitations from top European clubs before he even reached adulthood.
According to FIFA regulations, foreign players who are not adults cannot enter European leagues, but there are already so many teams that want to sign them in advance.
Although Yushan Kazuto did not agree and did not have much idea about professional football, it can be seen that Yushan Kazuto has the strength.
Such a player was defeated by a female player who had trained for several months. Such a plot is a bit "unbelievable".
Moreover, there is another more troublesome point - if Kazuto Yuyama and Mai Sakurajima are to play opposite each other, it will be difficult to find a suitable person to feed the ball to Mai Sakurajima.
For example, in the promotional video, the cooperation between Kazuto Hayama and Mai Sakurajima would have been difficult to achieve if Kazuto Hayama had not had such superb footwork.
In this case, either the director lowers the requirements or endless reshoots are initiated. At the end of the day, the people involved in the performance are exhausted and may not even be able to finish shooting a single shot.
This is also the reason why the director chose the second script.
In fact, the national competition committee prefers the first script.
However, basically no one knew the inside story, not even Yushan and others, and there was actually another script.
If Yushan Kazuto were to choose, he would definitely prefer the first script.
After all, in this way, he doesn't have to train with Sakurajima Mai, and he can relax a lot on weekends.
Although it may take a little time to shoot, according to the arrangement of the first script, Yushan and others' shots are basically personal shots, and they can leave early after concentrating on shooting.
Occasionally there are shots where both parties appear together, but there is basically no direct confrontation. The most common scenes are the one where Kazuto Hayama uses his ball skills to tease Mai Sakurajima, and the one where Mai Sakurajima takes the initiative to lend a helping hand to Kazuto Hayama.
Theoretically, it would take less than two hours to shoot these shots.
If Yushan Kazuto knew that there was such a script choice, he would definitely be puzzled as to why he chose the script that required the most work for him.
"The animation is quite well-made." After clicking on the animation trailer and watching it for a few minutes, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but speak.
Although there is basically no difference between the anime promotional video and the official promotional video, Yui Doma still enjoyed watching it.
"It's okay." Yushan Heren blinked slightly and said.
However, looking at Doma Yui's focused look, Yuyama Kazuto finally understood who the target audience of the national competition's animated promotional video was.
"Are all the character settings set by Sagiri?" asked Doma Mai while watching the anime promotional video.
"I think so. There aren't many characters that actually appear in the trailer."
humane.
"That's right." Upon hearing that, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but shook her head, but she just happened to see Sakurajima Mai make a long pass and kicked the ball into the air.
Doma Mai remembers that this shot was also very classic in the official promotional video. Yuyama Kazuto stopped the ball with his chest and caught it steadily. He even repeated it from multiple angles and in slow motion.
But watching the performance in the anime, Doma Mai was still a little stunned. The whole painting was so smooth that even the slight trembling of Yushan Kazuto's chest was drawn.
"Did Sagiri participate in the painting?" Doma Mai dragged the progress bar and looked at it over and over again, and couldn't help but feel a familiar feeling.
"I don't know about that." Yushan Heren blinked slightly and said.
Kazuto Hayama only knew that the character design was definitely set by Sagiri Izumi. After all, he and Yui Doma had seen with their own eyes when Sagiri Izumi was creating the character design in Karuizawa.
As for the painting, he was not very clear.
After filming the promotional video for the national competition, Yushan Kazuto no longer paid attention to information in this regard.
Chapter 2280 Production Cost
However, in fact, this part of the painting was really done by Sagiri Izumi.
Because the deadline was tight and Sagiri Izumi's painting skills were truly eye-catching, the organizing committee eventually contacted Sagiri Izumi via email and asked her to complete this part of the painting.
Originally, Izumi Sagiri didn't want to agree, but when the competition committee sent her the sample of the painting part, she agreed without hesitation.
A good sword must be used on the blade. The part that Sagiri Izumi was responsible for painting was the close-ups that Kazuto Hayama took.
Among them, the close-up that Doma Yui is currently looking at was drawn the most carefully.
Because this close-up is entirely a solo performance of Yushan Kazuto, the other close-ups will include other people to a greater or lesser extent, but only this close-up belongs completely to Yushan Kazuto alone.
"I wonder how much money was spent on this promotional video." After watching the anime promotional video, Tsuchima Yui couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said.
"The production company also released a behind-the-scenes video at the same time, which mentioned the cost." Yushan Kazuto said.
Hearing this, Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly: "What's the name of the producer's Twitter?"
"Scroll down and it's in the comments," said Yushan Heren.
Listening to what Yuyama Kazuto said, Doma Yui looked at the comments with some doubt. Unexpectedly, she actually saw the official account of the anime producer being active in the comments.
When I clicked on it, I saw that the behind-the-scenes footage was released only five minutes later than the promotional video.
After taking a look at Yushan Kazuto, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes and clicked on the video.
