Best wishes for animation production

Annual leave is a wonderful word. It means that no matter how busy you are, you can take a break. It also means that the torture of this year is finally over. You no longer have to worry about being woken up by the phone at work, nor do you need to worry about tomorrow's work and fall asleep with worries, because you don't have to go to work tomorrow, and no one does.

Well...except for particularly hard jobs.

Animation production is not a particularly hard job...

Emmmm...well, it belongs.

But at least animation production is not the kind of hard job where you get a sudden call during annual leave and then have to work overtime without pay.

After all, you can’t create animation by yourself.

Moreover, during the New Year period, general TV animations will also stop broadcasting for a week. It is almost impossible for the staff to have a restless time during the New Year, and everyone can rest peacefully.

Of course, on the other hand, this also means that Gu Xue, who does not plan to go out to play during the annual vacation, will be even more bored...

Because she had nothing to do.

For Gu Xue, the annual vacation is nothing more than changing the place of chasing fans from YUKI studio to his own home.

Then there was Gu Rou accompanying him.

But most of the time during the chase, Gu Xue actually preferred not to have Gu Rou with her... because Gu Rou really... liked to complain.

Just like now.

"Tsk, it's unbelievable. This male protagonist is set up to beat everyone, but the villain catches his girlfriend and says a few harsh words, and then he just arrests him? Damn! What the hell kind of plot is this? The Lord is not a man at all!”

"If it were me, I would just reply, 'If you have the guts to kill her, do it. If you wipe her neck, I will chop you into pieces.' See if the villain dares to do it! If he still dares to do it, just do it." The threat escalates again. Why should I chop it up and feed it to the dogs? I’m going to chop up your whole family. The male protagonist has weaknesses. Why can’t the villain have weaknesses? He is also a human being! The male protagonist can beat them up, so why should they be captured without mercy? Just capture them without mercy. ah!"

Gu Rou complained about the plot plausibly.

"...Don't worry too much, the plot needs it, the plot needs it."

As Gu Xue said this, she quickly exited the new program and found a movie at random.

But will Gu Rou be speechless?

Won't.

Gu Rou can always find some bugs and complain about them...

The problem is that what she said makes sense... After hearing her complaints, Gu Xue's interest in watching the movie disappeared instantly.

After spending half a day like this, Gu Xue felt that she couldn't go on like this anymore.

She specially found a few art films, the kind that were niche and not worth paying attention to but could win awards. She wanted to cultivate the relationship between herself and Gu Rou and at the same time make her shut up and stop complaining... …

However, art films are really boring.

After dinner, the two sisters sat on the sofa. Before they could see a third of the way, their heads leaned together and fell asleep...

When Gu Xue suddenly woke up, it was already past one in the morning...

After that, Gu Xue gave up struggling. She knew that Gu Rou actually just wanted to talk to her...

Complaining about the plot is nothing more than an introduction, and talking to her is Gu Rou's real purpose. So after Gu Xue found that the art film couldn't stand it, she simply found some mindless movies as background sounds, and then chatted with Gu Rou, or accompanied her She played some simple games, and this method really worked. At least Gu Rou was very happy.

However, it's obviously not good to pass the time like this. Gu Rou has to cook for meals, and occasionally goes out to buy some new year's goods, visit other people, and so on. Gu Xue won't go with you. You can let her watch movies, catch up on TV series and play games at home alone. She thinks it's boring to be alone.

People are so strange and entangled. On the first day of next year's holiday, I heard Gu Rou complaining about the plot and felt speechless. But when Gu Rou was really not around, Gu Xue felt lonely and didn't want to watch anymore...

In short, she was bored most of the time.

Sha Diao netizens are limited, and the sources of happiness are also limited. Gu Xue can only find fun by herself.

Coincidentally, Gu Xue brought back a work that she had finished painting in the middle of when she was bored at YUKI's studio. She just wanted to use it to pass the time in case she was bored when she got home, and now she actually used it.

It's just that this work used to kill time is a bit over the top. Gu Xue originally thought of drawing and watching, and then continued watching movies when Gu Rou was free, but when Gu Rou was free, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

She painted for two days.

…

New Year's Eve.

"Xiaoxue, it's time to eat."

Gu Rou was wearing an apron, holding bowls and chopsticks and pushed open the door. She shouted. After shouting, she began to mutter: "Xiaoxue~ You promised to play games and watch movies with your sister... but as soon as you have eaten, you Hiding in my room, I only watched one movie in two days. It was very boring and I didn’t play many games..."

Gu Xue, who was sitting blankly, heard the sound, turned her head and said apologetically: "...I'm sorry, I have finished the painting, we will go to watch a movie later."

"You said, don't go back on your word...ah~"

As Gu Rou spoke, she came to Gu Xue, squatted down, picked up a piece of rice cake from the bowl, and handed it to her mouth.

The wife is full of strength.

Gu Xue opened her mouth to take the rice cake, and while chewing it, she replied: "Hmm... um... I said so."

…

Gu Rou squatted on the ground and couldn't help but smile when she saw Gu Xue's appearance and asked, "Is it like this? Is it delicious? This is my first time making mixed food."

Gu Xue's cheeks bulged high and she said vaguely: "Well, good... time."

"That's good."

Gu Rou nodded, looking very happy.

It is indeed a joy to have the food you cook accepted and praised by the most important people.

"What have you been doing these two days? Work?"

After Gu Rou was happy, she stood up and happened to catch a glimpse of the drawings on Gu Xue's desk, so she asked casually.

"No, how should I put it..." Gu Xue looked at the drawings on the table with an unconcerned expression, "I originally planned to draw a storyboard evaluation of the theatrical version of the animation because I was too busy and bored at the YUKI studio. I can do it at once, but when I was painting, I always felt that the scrawled storyboards could not perfectly express the unique feeling in the work. I had time, so I painted a little more detailed, and then, I couldn’t stop it. Well, now this can no longer be considered a storyboard, it should be considered a comic."

"this……"

Gu Rou put down the bowl and chopsticks and gently lay on Gu Xue's head. She was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

My sister is so amazing...

But she was not surprised for long, as her eyes were quickly attracted by a drawing on the table.

That drawing showed two primary school students walking hand in hand on a street full of life with cherry blossoms in full bloom, petals falling... This scene, with the blessing of Gu Xue's very powerful painting skills, is really Especially beautiful.

Gu Rou stared at the drawing for a while and asked Gu Xue curiously: "What is this comic about? What is it called?"

"Hmm..." After hearing Gu Rou's words, Gu Xue tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's probably a story about fate and distance. As for the name, you can guess."

"You seem to have already written this..." Gu Rou looked at the drawing on the table carefully, "Hmm... it's called 'The speed of cherry blossoms falling is 5 centimeters per second'?"

"So smart, so smart~" Gu Xue was slightly afraid of flattery, "But the name won't be that long. If it's simpler, it's called Five Centimeters per Second."

"...How can I be smarter than you!"

Gu Rou rubbed her head hard and then asked, "Can you show your sister this comic later? I think it's quite interesting."

"Of course." Gu Xue nodded immediately, "I'm worried that this painting will be wasted. After all, it's impossible for the studio to say what theatrical animation it will be for the time being. Of course you want to watch it, no problem..."

Speaking of this, Gu Xue paused and suddenly thought of a good idea. She raised her head and said with a smile: "Sister, otherwise, it would be a waste to just put this painting away. You might as well send me to the studio later." , I scanned out this... comic and posted it on Twitter, which can be regarded as a New Year's gift to those who have always supported me."
