Best wishes for animation production

Yu Jingyao feels magical and is not optimistic about YUKI Studio's current business strategy, but she will still do what needs to be done and will work hard to do it.

The brief meeting ended quickly.

After the meeting, everyone got busy.

Gu Rou went to SMALL Company, Miss Mihara went to contact to confirm the composition of the series, and Yujing Yao went to discuss the details of the character licensing of "Little Witch Academia" with a certain beverage company... Thanks to her experience in working in a food company. Thanks to the connections, YUKI Studio’s income has increased a lot this month, and most of it relies on copyright.

Sato Ei, on the other hand, went to tell the other two companions at the same time the heavy news.

So people left the conference room.

In the end, Gu Xue, who was very busy, suddenly became free. Mainly because she didn't expect the meeting to end so quickly. She thought it would take a long time, so she left all the finishing work of "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" Others, and the date for "My Youthful Love Story Really Has Problems" and the series composition have not yet been decided... In short, she seems to have nothing to do today.

Rare fishing time.

But Gu Xue was quite uncomfortable with it.

After she came back from the North American Comic Con, she was busy every day. She was either checking the original paintings or producing them herself. She was either in a meeting or on the way to the YUKI studio.

She works super hard.

Of course, the efforts paid off in the end. The results of YUKI Studio cannot be seen for the time being, but the results of "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" have already come out. As the sixth episode played, the evaluation changed, and then the members of the male protagonist's adventure team one by one debuted, the plot progressed steadily, and the popularity continued to rise.

Now Gu Xue is popular (proud).

After all, the disc sales and popularity of "Embrace a Better Tomorrow" have been rising all the way, and it is beginning to move towards annual hegemony.

Capital, on the other hand, has always been profit-seeking and superstitious about 'resume'. Gu Xue's aura has added to it. Although the aura is not very dazzling, it is enough to make the capital spend money.

During this period, the studio received a lot of calls from people asking for cooperation.

It's just that Gu Xue didn't want to make wedding clothes for others anymore, so she refused them all.

In addition to these effects.

The reason why the project of "Spring Things" was favored and quickly received investment without any hindrance was not only because of Miyamoto Fumi's own influence and connections, but also because she boasted about how awesome Gu Xue's "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" is now. The reason for forcing lies inside...

In short, Gu Xue's original goal was achieved.

Make "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" a success and use it as a springboard to gain the favor of capital and gain a certain reputation for making your own animation.

but……

Although her goal was achieved, Gu Xue was not happy for long. The main reason was that no one could share it with her.

Gu Rou has no interest in animation production and doesn't care about money.

And Miss Mihara...

"..."

Looking at the seat where Chisa Mihara had just been sitting, Gu Xue held her chin, her fair and strong calves dangling under the table, kicking the air like a revenge, feeling a little sad.

She didn't know when she became so sentimental.

In order to prevent her mood from getting worse, she stood up, left the conference room, and returned to her office.

I began to think about the style of Harumono in order to divert my attention.

The original version of "My Youthful Love Story Has a Problem" had a total of two seasons, and the production companies were different. This resulted in differences in the painting style, performance style, and even the characters of the two seasons.

There is no need to consider the character design. In the original work, Hikigaya Hachiman is a handsome guy with dead fish eyes, so it is better to be more handsome, otherwise he will not look worthy of Dango, which will be terrible...

What Gu Xue needs to consider is the choice of animation style for the two seasons.

In the first season of the original animation, due to the limited animation production budget, all aspects of the animation were not satisfactory. However, Gu Xue still remembered a lot of the slightly exaggerated performance method and the unique charm of animation. People like it.

For the second season, the production company has been changed, and the style has completely changed, leaning towards realism. To put it simply, it is closer to the direction of live-action movies. The camera positions are fixed and reasonable with little change, and the character movements are realistic without exaggerated deformations...

Many people think this is pretty good.

Newton was the first to like it.

Because the people who were dancing on the boards of his coffin could finally come down.

If he could like it...

Hmm...which style is better?

In fact, Gu Xue thinks it’s okay.

So it's a bit confusing.

Gu Xue, who was struggling and irritable, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​making an immediate decision.

I plan to see how the character designer Sato-chan performs before deciding.

She turned to take out the original drawing paper, and with a relaxed attitude, she randomly drew a few characters with simple lines.

It was mainly influenced by the meeting between John and Lyon last month. At that time, Gu Xue said that she could collaborate if she had a cool idea. After she came back, she remembered some of her favorite animations in North America.

There may not be a chance to do it, but you can draw it to reminisce and entertain yourself.

Because... being alone is really boring.

However, it is a pity that Gu Xue was not able to paint for long.

Because there was a knock on the office door.

Bang bang.

"Please come in."

Gu Xue retracted her thoughts and shouted.

Chisa Mihara opened the door and walked in.

Gu Xue: "..."

There's still a knock on the door.

"...Gu Xue, someone just contacted me and asked if you are interested in taking up a job recently. Then Ye Huo said that he would have time to come over tomorrow and wanted to confirm whether you are free tomorrow."

Chisa Mihara stood far away from Gu Xue's desk and reported.

"Everyone who asked me to take over a job said no. As for tomorrow, there will definitely be time, but it would be better if she has time to come over today."

Under the table, Gu Xue kicked her calves very restlessly, looking a little anxious, but she pretended to be calm and replied.

"good."

Mihara Qiansa paused, turned around and left.

"Wait..." Gu Xue looked at the picture she drew and suddenly called out to Chisa Mihara.

"Um?"

Chisa Mihara stopped and turned around.

“Wubba Lubba dub-dub”

Gu Xue turned her head to one side, her face slightly red, looking at the wall, and suddenly let out a cry of unknown meaning.

It's like English, but the meaning is unclear.

Chisa Mihara: "..."

"...Forget it, you don't understand either."

Gu Xue rubbed her face, feeling very unhappy. She stood up and walked to the door in silence.

Chisa Mihara watched Gu Xue pass by her, she was silent for a few seconds, bit her lower lip hard, forced herself to be firm, and then followed Gu Xue to the door.

The two were silent.

One of them listened to Gu Rou's words and thought that he could make the other person happy by keeping his distance.

One is because the other person's attitude suddenly became cold. From the beginning, he felt uncomfortable and panicked, and then became sulky. After a long time, he didn't know how to express his thoughts...

Sure enough, they are all idiots.

…

Gu Xue quickly came to the door, opened it, and was about to go out.

She wanted to be quiet and think about the problem.

But the door opened.

She saw two people blocking the door.

Chen An and Guangu Acheng stood at the door, and two big pie faces suddenly appeared in front of them.

Everyone will be shocked.

Gu Xue was startled.

I really almost jumped.

She also reacted very quickly, dodging directly and sticking to Mihara Chisa's side.

This is completely subconscious behavior.

Chisa Mihara also subconsciously held her shoulders and glared at Chen An and Sekiya Acheng at the door.

"What!?"

Gu Xue didn't think there was anything wrong. She looked at Chen An and Guangu Acheng at the door and asked angrily.

Having heard the bad news from Sato Ei, Chen An and Sekiya Acheng, who came to Gu Xue to intercede, had not had time to speak.

Sato Ei, who jumped up and poked her head out from behind them, saw Gu Xue and Mihara Chisa leaning against each other, and asked first, "Hey... have senior and Miss Mihara reconciled?"

Gu Xue: "..."

Chisa Mihara: "..."

At this time, the two realized that something was wrong.

Chisa Mihara subconsciously wanted to let go.

"If you dare to let go, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Gu Xuefu suddenly whispered as his thoughts came to his mind.

Chisa Mihara "..."

A few seconds later.

Gu Xue: "... Just don't let go. You hug her too tightly and it hurts..."

Chisa Mihara: "..."
