My chastity can't be taken lightly by a dog

No matter how you look at it, Dengeki Bunko and Dream Workshop don't seem to overlap.However, as the meeting progressed little by little, Ayase's doubts were quickly answered.

To put it simply, DreamWorks and another animation film production company, Disney, have been competing with each other for decades, and they can be called old enemies.

In the past two years, Disney has won almost all the awards related to animation films in the Oscars, so the executives of DreamWorks could not hold their breath.After all, if they continue to develop like this, it may be difficult for them to compete for the leading position in the industry.

After some discussion, they decided to find another way to send some employees to Japan, another major animation country in the world, for exchange and study, hoping that they can get new inspiration from here.

At the same time, DreamWorks also hopes to find good scripts or ideas from Japan—preferably ones that can be adapted into the Hollywood market.

After understanding the cause and effect, Ayase naturally lost interest.After all, she just wanted to guard her own one-acre three-point land, and had no ambition to go to Hollywood to develop.What's more, her physical age is only 14 years old, it is too early to talk about these.

After thinking about all this, although I feel sorry for the editor Togashi who brought her to increase his knowledge, Ayase's attention has gone from the exchange meeting to other places.

For example, ran to Catherine, who was sitting next to her and was recording.

As the second youngest person in the room, Catherine was obviously much busier than Ayase.Not only is she responsible for distributing materials, but she is also responsible for organizing the minutes of meetings.

Ayase saw the title she had glimpsed in the elevator from the pile of documents Catherine had placed beside her desk.At that time, she only saw the words "research...animation...", but now she finally saw the full name clearly.

"A Feasibility Study on Japanese Animation in the Hollywood Market"

Judging from the summary below the title, it is a comparison of the animation film market in Japan and the United States and the difference in audience tastes.

Looking away from Catherine's table, Ayase noticed that the meeting seemed to be over, and many people got up and left the meeting room.Ayase cast a questioning look at the editor Togashi next to him, but got a gesture of calmness from him.

After almost everyone left, Ayase noticed that there were only six people left in the room including her.Including her and Fujian Gangchang, and Catherine next to her, and Ms. Brown who questioned Ayase's age at first, the last one is the editor-in-chief of Dengeki Bunko, and the other is a high-level staff of the library that she has only seen in photos .

Seeing that Ayase was still in the room, Ms. Brown frowned slightly, probably because of the editor's explanation before, so she didn't attack.After taking her eyes away from Ayase, Ms. Brown chatted with the editor-in-chief in a familiar tone.

"Oh, Xiongsang, we are old classmates, you must help me this time." Ms. Brown said to the editor-in-chief. Judging from the address, she and the editor-in-chief seemed to have known each other for a long time, and they were also classmates.

Seemingly noticing Ayase's doubts, Editor Fujin explained in a low voice: "Ms. Brown is a university and master's student in Japan, and she and the editor-in-chief were classmates at the time."

Ayase nodded, while the conversation between the editor-in-chief and Ms. Brown continued.

"Even if you say that, there's nothing I can do about it, Alisa." The editor-in-chief always had a serious face, with a rare wry smile on his face, "You should have known when you were in school that Japan and the United States are very important in the animation market. There is a huge difference in terms of film and television, and it is basically difficult to find a script suitable for Hollywood from here, have you not asked the teacher?"

It may be because the two of them were under the same tutor during their master's degree, so Miss Brown didn't care to reveal the real situation on her side. She shook her head and said melancholy: "I called my tutor after I came to Japan. Got on the phone."

After a short pause, Miss Brown continued: "It's all that damn Disney. If they hadn't snatched our pre-ordered script, I wouldn't be in such a hurry now."

Through the conversation between the two, Ayase quickly understood the current predicament of Dream Workshop.Originally, DreamWorks just sent a delegation to Japan for exchange and study, and by the way, to find suitable reserve talents. The main promoter of this matter was Ms. Brown, who studied in Japan in the early years and has now become an executive of DreamWorks.

But not long after they arrived in Japan, Miss Brown received news from the United States that the author of the originally scheduled animation script suddenly broke the contract and sold it to the competitor Disney.

Although the United States has begun to enter the process of litigation, the first problem now is to find a suitable replacement script.The scripts in the hands of Dream Workshop are not enough to compete with the one that was resold to Disney.

If it continues like this, I am afraid that next year's Oscar for feature-length animation will be won by this old rival again. This is something that DreamWorks' investors cannot tolerate.

So thinking that Miss Brown was in Japan, an animation country, Dream Workshop temporarily gave her a new task to see if she could find a script that could compete with Disney.

Of course, DreamWorks also knows that Japanese and American animation films are basically two different development routes, and the audience's aesthetics are also different.

"So from the very beginning, we just wanted to see if we could win by surprise..." Miss Brown showed a wry smile, and explained to her senior brother: "After all, there is really no better script in Hollywood. Now, instead of using those scripts that are sure to lose, it is better to see if there is a new turning point on the Japanese side..."

It doesn't matter even if it is weaker at the box office, as long as it wins the awards in the end--the executives of Dream Workshop have deeply resented that in recent years, all kinds of animation film awards have been won by Disney.

Just when Miss Brown was about to continue talking, there was a light cough from the side, and then an extremely young voice stopped her from speaking:

"Well...cough cough, let me ask, if you find a good script from here, will you take the author to the United States to sign a contract?"

Author's message:

======================

Ah, sorry sorry, it was supposed to be updated at eleven o'clock.

As a result, I was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap, and then... I didn't wake up until ten o'clock... So now I finally finished writing...

I will code words tomorrow morning!This time, if you say keep a stable update, keep a stable update!

Also, stop complaining about Dream Workshop! !Do you see that Disney has also become Disney~23333

Chapter 380 IX Opportunity to Go to America

"Of course it's not necessary. If the author requests, electronic contracts can also be signed remotely." Hearing someone's question, Ms. Brown subconsciously replied: "It's just that it would be better if I could go to the mainland of the United States. After all, many things are more convenient to talk about in person. appropriate."

After finishing speaking, Miss Brown realized that the eyes of the people around her were all behind her. There were only three women in the room including her, and Catherine's voice was obviously not like that. The person who spoke could only be the fourteen A five-year-old girl.

Miss Brown turned around with a strange expression, and it was as expected. The person who asked the question was the fourteen-year-old girl.

"That is to say, if you are selected for the script, you need to go to the United States?" Ayase didn't mind at all that she became the focus of everyone's attention, or that after such a long time of experience, it was both a book signing and a study session. The garden festival, and even the cosplay contest with black history, she has handled such scenes with ease.

Seeing Ayase's calm expression, Miss Brown also slightly praised Ayase in her heart.At least at Ayase's age, she couldn't deal with the gazes of so many people at the same time.In particular, Miss Brown knows how scary it is to keep a straight face. If it weren't for this, the subordinate who wanted to chase her would not be scared away...

Not to mention Miss Brown, who was feeling dejected, if Ayase knew what was going on in her heart, she would definitely laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten up.Even without mentioning Ayase's majestic father, Miss Brown's current appearance is not as good as Kirino's father, the man who looks like a gangster.

And Ayase has met the angry Daisuke Takasaka head-on, and even helped Kirino persuade Daisuke in that state.

"Mr. Miyuki, do you think you can write a script that can win an Oscar for animation?" Catherine asked, seeing that Miss Brown hadn't spoken, and her blue eyes rolled around Ayase curiously.

Ayase shrugged noncommittally, and then said: "I don't know, it just happens to be practicing script writing recently..."

"Practice?!" Unlike Catherine's poor Japanese, Miss Brown immediately understood Ayase's subtext. Her expression was extremely weird. After looking at Ayase in disbelief, she turned her gaze to the editor-in-chief beside her. His tone was slightly unpleasant, "Xiong Sang, are your new writers already so...confident?"

Originally, I wanted to describe Ayase with words like "crazy" or "knowing the heights of the sky and the earth", but in the end Miss Brown saved some face.In her opinion, Ayase may be the kind of rookie who has just debuted, has not seen the cruelty of the industry, and is at the stage of bursting with confidence.

However, what she didn't expect was that the editor-in-chief beside her didn't seem to stop Ayase's thoughts, but instead smiled and looked extremely relaxed.

"what's the situation?Don't you want to hit this newcomer? ’Miss Brown curled her lips secretly, looked Ayase up and down again with scrutiny, and then thought she understood the editor’s "good intentions", so she pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a blunt smile: "This A...young teacher, writing a script is not such a simple matter, I suggest that you first get down to earth and accumulate more experience."

"Eh..." Although Ayase could feel Miss Brown's contempt for her from the very beginning, she didn't take it too seriously.After all, my physical age is there, and no one will take it to heart when they see such a young man making an opinion.

And not everyone will be like the original editor Fu Jian, who paid much attention to her when she first submitted a manuscript to Dianshin Library.

In the final analysis, Ayase had long discovered that in this strange world, only Japan would value the opinions of junior high school and high school students, while the United States, where Miss Brown lived, had the custom of valuing vagrants who appeared and disappeared.

However, if you can understand it, you can understand it, but Ayase still feels a little uncomfortable.So at this time, as if she didn't understand Miss Brown's subtext, she said with a smile: "It's okay, I have practiced well recently, and I really have a very good idea."

After dissuading her twice in succession, Miss Brown gave up trying to persuade Ayase. At the same time, she felt annoyed that Ayase couldn't understand the atmosphere.

"Are you Japanese after all? Didn't you say that the compulsory course for Japanese is to understand the atmosphere and not cause trouble for others?" The muscles on Miss Brown's face twitched, and then she put her eyes on the editor-in-chief, and at the same time conveyed the meaning of "I can't help it, you newcomers are so stubborn" with her eyes.

What surprised Ms. Brown was that the editor-in-chief didn't seem to understand the message conveyed in her eyes, but instead said with a smile: "Ah, Alisa, since Mr. Shenyuki wants to try it, you can just take a look."

"But..." The editor-in-chief changed the subject—Miss Brown thought that he was going to stop Ayase after raising his voice first.However, what the editor-in-chief said next surprised her so much that she couldn't close her jaw, "Mr. Shenxue, didn't you come to discuss the theatrical version of "Madoka" with Editor Fujin today? Can you take care of it?"

"Xiaoyuan?! Movie version?!" Miss Brown's eyes widened, as if her three views had been strongly impacted, "Is it the Xiaoyuan I understand?"

"Huh?" The editor-in-chief was taken aback for a moment, then he slapped his head suddenly, and said with a smile, "Oh yes, I haven't introduced it to you yet, this is the original script of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" that you especially admired when you came to Japan , Teacher Shiba Miyuki."

"Hello." Ayase nodded with a smile, and greeted Miss Brown.

"You mean...she is the author of "Little Yuan"?" She was so surprised that Miss Brown's fingers trembled slightly, "So young?"

"I remember when "Madoka" was promoted, I said that Teacher Shenxue was still a junior high school student, right?" The editor-in-chief looked at Fujian Gangchang as if asking for confirmation, and after the other party nodded, he smiled and explained to Miss Brown: "If it is The replacement teacher Shiba Miyuki."

"I..." Miss Brown's lips moved, her chest rose and fell, and then she let out a long breath and said, "Well... I thought you were joking."

When she looked at Ayase again, Miss Brown changed her attitude of contempt before.Although I still don't have too much expectation-after all, even if you don't talk about Ayase's age, the aesthetics of Japan and Europe and the United States are too different, let alone winning awards like Oscars.

But Ms. Brown, who spoke highly of "Little Circle", could not help but look forward to it, "Mr. Shenxue, can you really write a good script?"

"So... if you write a good script, can you go to the United States?" Ayase tilted her head and asked a question that Miss Brown hadn't thought of.

"..." The corners of Miss Brown's mouth twitched slightly, and she took a deep breath to calm down, "Mr. Shenxue, is your focus only on going to America!?"

Ayase nodded as a matter of course, "Yes!"

Chapter 390 The Black Cat's Rage

After finishing everything from Dengeki Bunko and returning home, Ayase originally thought about starting work, but then she discovered an extremely embarrassing reality.

——Because she was too hasty to leave school yesterday, she didn't bother to take the laptop home at all.That is to say, at this time, she has nothing else to replace except for writing and drawing in a notebook with a pen.

"It seems that I will buy another computer at home later." Ayase clicked her tongue, remembering that Kirino had both a laptop and a desktop computer at home, so she secretly made up her mind.

However, as the saying goes, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst, and now she can't really complete the script by handwriting.

As for delaying school until tomorrow?

Not to mention other twists and turns that may occur after school, Ayase's own urgency alone is urging her to act quickly.

Kyosuke Kosaka, I don't know how much time can be delayed.Daisuke Takasaka may clean up Kirino's cherished collection at any time;

Kosaka Kirino may be falling into the trough of self-denial and doubt now, and is under great pressure;

The most important thing is that Miss Brown of Dream Workshop is about to leave Japan, and there is not much time left.

In this case, if Ayase, who claims to like Kirino, doesn't hurry up and do something, even she herself feels that her so-called "like" is too cheap.

However, the actual conditions obviously do not depend on personal will, and it is definitely too late to buy a computer now.Ayase looked at the phone's address book, rolled her eyes, and thought of a good place to go.

then……

"So, why did you come to my house?" Wearing a pink sportswear at home, the black cat put the teacup in front of Ayase with a face full of reluctance. The two little tails who were peeping in the room shouted: "Hinata, Zhuxi, you all go back to your own room."

"Tch...stare!" The two younger sisters of the black cat didn't intend to listen to what the elder sister said, they still held the door frame of the living room with both hands, their two little heads were stacked together, and they looked at the room eagerly.

After the initial curiosity, Ayase soon discovered that the two sisters of the black cat were not looking at her, but at the pastry in front of her.So Ayase pointed to the cakes on the table, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat this?"

Hinata and Zhuxi nodded, and then, under the signal of Ayase, ran over on short legs and reached out to grab the pastry.

"Hinata, Zhuxi! You are a bit polite! How do I teach you?" Although he was criticizing and educating his two younger sisters, the tone of the black cat was full of pampering.

"Slightly slightly slightly!" Hinata, who has a more lively personality, made a face at her sister, "Sister Liuli lied, she clearly said that she bought it for us."

Being exposed mercilessly by his own sister in front of Ayase, even the expressionless black cat couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said with some shame and anger: "Go back to the house as soon as you finish eating. , you two."

"Okay, okay, my sister doesn't want to eat, so I'll take all these things for you." Ayase smiled and handed the whole plate of meals to Zhu Xi who was timid and silent.After complimenting Ayase sweetly, Hinata took his sister Zhuxi and left.

"Isn't it because you came here without even saying hello, which made me completely unprepared." After his two younger sisters left, the black cat cast a blank glance at Ayase who was still smiling, and sat down beside the stove table. He complained and asked, "Then what are you doing at my house? Seeing your urgent expression, is there anything difficult?"

The reason why the black cat was anxious to drive her two baby sisters away was because she found that Ayase was a little different from usual.The usual calmness was missing on his face, instead there was a faint anxiety lurking in his eyes.

Although Ayase thought she was hiding it well, Black Cat still noticed a subtle difference from her expression and voice.

"..." Ayase glanced at the black cat in surprise, never expecting her to be so sensitive.But holding the idea of ​​"trying not to involve other people", Ayase said with a smile: "Ah, that's right, you also know that I am an exchange student at Tokiwadai, and then I forgot to take my computer home on weekends , but now I need to write something, but it’s inconvenient without a computer, so I came to you.”

"Write something?" The black cat stared suspiciously at Ayase's face, and after looking at it for a while, she closed her eyes.Then he frowned as if he was thinking about a difficult problem, and said in a low voice: "It's just that you don't need to put on such an expression, right? Your face is ugly."

If it was yesterday, although Ayase didn't think of a solution to go to the United States, it wouldn't be so urgent.It was precisely because she saw the existence called "Hope" from Dream Workshop that she was anxious to hold it tightly.

But it's also like this, the urgent mood is almost reflected on her face, and the black cat who is also familiar with her - or the black cat who is as careful as a hair, quickly noticed this after a few chats .

"Is it so obvious..." Ayase touched her cheek with her hand, and took a sip of barley tea in embarrassment.

"Come on, tell me what happened, I'll do good deeds, and listen to your complaints." The black cat brushed the hair next to its ear, with a strange expression on its face, but Ayase, who was immersed in her own thoughts, didn't Didn't find this out.

"Actually, there's a very strange text message from Kirino..." I couldn't hide it, and Ayase looked at the black cat at this time, and suddenly had the idea of ​​​​confiding something, so she hid it What happened at Yan Ye's house.From the time I went to Kirino's house, I talked about my experience at Dengeki Bunko this morning.

The black cat kept silent while she explained what had happened.After Ayase finished speaking, the black cat who was listening with closed eyes slowly opened his eyes.

"Understood." Although the black cat's tone was as calm as usual, Ayase felt that it was just an appearance, and beneath the silence was a flame called anger burning.

"So this is the reason why that guy disappeared during this time?" Shen Jing's anger was almost solidified, and the black cat looked so irritable and annoyed at this moment.Just like when she used to speak sharp tongues and curses.

The black cat agreed with Ayase's analysis very much, and his body trembled a little when he spoke, "That guy is still as arrogant as ever! Like an idiot! He has already fallen into the predicament of sending such text messages, and he doesn't want to talk to us. Contact?"

Although it sounded like he was scolding Kirino, judging from the action of the black cat biting his lower lip tightly, it was obvious that his words just didn't match his heart.

"Understood." Then, the black cat's voice came from above Ayase, who didn't know when she stood up, and said in a gloomy voice: "In this case, what are you waiting for? The computer is on my computer. The bedroom, you should have been here, right?"

Chapter 390 Animated Film Script

Seeing the black cat whose expression suddenly changed, Ayase got up silently and followed behind her.Arriving at the black cat's bedroom, Ayase noticed the old-fashioned computer in the corner, the screen was on, and there were bursts of overwhelming humming from the case.

Such a computer can run LA perfectly, I have to say that it is really hard for the computer master.Ayase looked at the hard-working computer with great sympathy. At this time, the LA game interface was running on the screen.

Seeing Ayase staring blankly at the computer screen, the black cat seemed to have misunderstood something, and she said in a stiff tone, "I, I didn't know you would come so suddenly, so I didn't have time to turn it off."

While talking, the black cat turned his head away, looking extremely unnatural.Ayase walked into the computer and saw the LA game running on the screen. Although she was in the town, there was no one around except for the character of the black cat.

"It's just that I haven't played the game for a few days, but the popularity of this game has dropped so much? 』Just when Ayase was lamenting the speed of the game, he took a closer look and suddenly found that it was not that there was no one, but that the black cat "blocked the display" of all characters except himself, in order to reduce the impact on the game when it was running. PC performance stress.

"By the way...you should have received the first period's royalties, right?" Ayase looked at the empty screen, only the scene of player IDs flying around, and turned her head to ask the black cat, dumbfounded.

"..." The black cat glanced at Ayase, sighed and said, "Think about the consumption concept of normal people a little bit! I still have a lot of other expenses."

While talking, the black cat walked to the side of Ayase, and was about to close the game interface.At this time, a team invitation popped up on the screen, and the initiator was the guild's Master Yapuliko.
