Best wishes for animation production

The original painting session of "Little Witch Academia" has reached the final stage.

When the last card passed through Gu Xue's hands, not only Chen An, who handed in the original painting, breathed a sigh of relief, but even Gu Xue couldn't help but have the thought of "finally freed."

It’s really frustrating.

She was actually fine painting by herself, and she might have finished it a month ago.

But the problem is not that she paints alone. Gu Xue not only wants to see, but also points out the problems of the newcomers, and teaches them... Gu Xue can see many problems in the original paintings handed in by the three newcomers at a glance, and also knows how to draw them. How to adjust and modify when needed, but it is really... too troublesome to express it in words.

The general feeling is: "Do you still need to ask this kind of question?" "I really don't know how to tell you" and so on.

The best way to solve this problem is of course to use pictures to explain it.

Gu Xue did the same thing and drew the sketch again.

But this creates a new problem.

Time costs.

Newcomers may not understand what Gu Xue means.

Sometimes they think they understand the picture that Gu Xue has corrected on the writing paper after reading it, but there are still problems with the original painting, and Gu Xue still withdraws.

very strict.

Gu Xue also had no intention of helping them correct it directly.

This way, the time it takes them to complete a card is greatly extended.

It is not unreasonable for the three newcomers to feel that they are in hell.

But for them, this feeling of being in hell is not all bad.

Their growth rate can surprise everyone except Gu Xue.

As a supervisor, Misawa Hiroshi began to fish in the later period, that is, starting in December, and was completely reduced to a nominal supervisor. Many matters were left to Gu Xue to decide, including poaching, but The main reason is that he now really feels that Gu Xue is more suitable to be the helmsman of the "Little Witch Academia" animation than himself.

Now that he was facing the original painting handed over to him, he just had to close his eyes and sign his name.

But anyway, it's all over.

The next steps, if nothing goes wrong, will be completed step by step, and the time will be just right.

After the New Year, in mid-February, the production team will officially submit the finished product to the association that contracted the project. A test screening will be held at the end of the month, and the project's planning committee will also begin to evaluate the effect of the animation.

In March, the animated works will be screened for two weeks in theaters provided by sponsors.

After the public screening, the animation works will be broadcast on TV stations. Finally, the committee will combine its own evaluation and the feedback from the audience to select the gold, silver and bronze awards for this year's future animation projects.

After that, a report is submitted to the association, and the annual plan ends.

Gu Xue also planned to officially take people away at that time.

But it's still early, and the most important thing before Gu Xue now is...travel.

She promised her sister Gu Rou back then.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Gu Rou is already making preparations.

Gu Xue also learned a few days ago that Gu Rou planned not to celebrate the New Year at home this year...

Gu Xue was surprised by this, but since she agreed, she had no intention of going back on her word, and she also wanted to take a break.

In a few days, she will take a vacation and travel. Before the New Year, the work can only be left to Chisa Mihara and Hiroshi Misawa. However, Gu Xue has determined most of the content issues, so there should be no problems.

…

After sending Chen An away, Gu Xue handed the inspected original painting to Miss Mihara and asked her to bring it to Misawa Hiroshi. Then she stretched and picked up her phone to take a look.

During this period of time, Ms. Yujing is taking care of everything at YUKI Studio. Gu Xue only needs to check the messages from her occasionally to understand the progress.

At present, the studio has been renovated, and equipment, workbench, consumables and other things are being shipped in. After the New Year, it will probably be officially used.

However... this also means that the studio will have to rely on Gu Xue to support it alone.

After spending a little time and reading the information during this period, Gu Xue called Miss Yujing, exchanged a few words, and asked some details that were not mentioned in the information. Gu Xue finally got to the point.

Regarding the copyright of "Little Witch Academia".

She wanted to ask Ms. Tamai to negotiate in the name of her sister's company.

Miss Yujing hesitated for a while and agreed.

hang up the phone.

Gu Xue put down her phone, pulled the coat covering her round thighs, breathed hot air into her palms, and relaxed her whole body.

By chance, Chisa Mihara returned after delivering the original painting.

Gu Xue turned around and said apologetically: "Miss Miyuan, the next thing may cause trouble for you."

"Yes." Chisa Mihara nodded slightly, and then asked: "Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year here?"

Gu Xue: "Yes, I was also told to go on a long trip at the last minute... To be honest, it's freezing cold and I really don't want to go out, but I agreed to my sister, so I won't regret it."

"That's it..." Mihara Chisa's expression was a bit reluctant, but she hid it well.

She pulled up a chair and sat down next to Gu Xue. She held the latter's hand and rubbed it gently for a while. Then she inserted her fingers into Gu Xue's fingers and shook them.

"I can only see you after the Chinese New Year, Miss Mihara."

Gu Xue has become quite accustomed to Miss Mihara's affectionate actions, such as cuddling and hugging her to say it is warmer, rubbing her face and pinching her belly and asking her if she has gained weight... Even though she does these actions, she will be shy, and her face will turn red when they separate. Yes, but that's what she's going to do.

As for Gu Xue, she would occasionally have strange thoughts about "could she be taking advantage of her?" but they would soon disappear.

After all, in her opinion, this kind of argument should not exist between girls.

"Well, be careful when you go out and keep warm..."

Chisa Mihara glanced at Gu Xue's round thighs covered by her coat, and gave her some harsh instructions.

"Eh, so rude." Gu Xue couldn't help but joked. Her speaking style and tone were too stiff, comparable to straight men drinking more hot water.

"..." Chisa Mihara glared at her with a slightly red face.

"Why are you staring at me?" Gu Xue said with a smile, "You said you should keep warm? Who do you think it is because of me wearing short skirts and knee-high socks every day? What a bad idea. I just said to buy casual pants. Now I'm done I didn’t have time to buy it. Not only was it freezing cold when I was walking on the road, but I was also asked by patrolling police officers why I didn’t go to school. I was so annoyed..."

"..."

Chisa Mihara looked embarrassed and speechless.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xue smiled, stopped teasing her, shook her hands that were caught, and said softly:

"Happy New Year, Miss Mihara."

"Well...Happy New Year."
