Best wishes for animation production

In the conference room.

"Are you serious?"

Misawa sat on the chair and looked at Gu Xue, very surprised or shocked.

Although Gu Xue had the idea of ​​running away and setting up a studio, it was not something she could accomplish alone. At Chisa Mihara's suggestion, Gu Xue found Hiroshi Misawa and expressed her thoughts.

Gu Xue saw that Misawa was hesitant and said bluntly: "If you don't want to leave, don't worry about my mood and just reject me. It's not good for everyone if you agree now because of feelings, and if there is a conflict later. "

"It's not that I don't want to..." Misawa smiled bitterly, "It's just, where do we get the money? If we want to accept capital injections from other companies, what will be the difference from the current company? I have seen many independent companies. An animator who comes out and then jumps into another pit. And, the most important thing is... I am getting married, and the date is approaching. I always feel that the burden on my shoulders is much heavier. Without a stable income, I am actually quite panicked."

"You're getting married!? Are you just getting married!?" Gu Xue's focus suddenly shifted completely, and her gaze was intentionally or unintentionally aimed at the top of his reflective head.

Miss Mihara, a person who could remain calm in most situations, also looked at Misawa Hiro a few more times.

"You are attacking this personally, do you know..." Misawa was extremely angry, but after all, he knew that Gu Xue had no ill intentions and was just teasing him.

"What kind of person is the other party?" Gu Xue forgot about setting up a studio, her heart burning with gossip.

Misawa showed a gentle smile and said: "She is a very ordinary country girl. Originally, my family introduced me to her, but I was not willing to meet her. I can only say that it was a good thing that I went to meet her. Well... now I feel like someone is waiting for me when I go home at night." That’s great, and the food she cooks is delicious, and besides, she’s actually surprisingly cute…”

Misawa kept chattering, and the sour smell of love almost overflowed.

Gu Xue said silently: "Show affection, we can separate."

Misawa was choked to death.

"Can you even speak?"

"Pfft, congratulations." Gu Xue smiled, "But let's go back to the topic of setting up a studio."

Gu Xue suddenly felt that gossiping about others while others showed affection in front of her was really no fun at all.

It's not as interesting as teaching new people...

Misawa Hiro: "..."

"I am also aware of your concerns. If it is funded by external capital, it will indeed be impossible to maintain a relatively free creative environment."

It's not like Gu Xue has never seen this kind of thing before.

Many small animation studios received capital injections from pinball factories, toy factories and the like when they were first established. Although they can quickly get through the difficult times, the troubles later will be endless. You can talk about feelings and originality with these small factories. , it really doesn’t work, their only purpose is to make money.

The leaders of animation studios who will accept capital injections from these small factories are often too high-ranking or too low-ranking, and can easily succumb, have their edges smoothed out, or leave.

As for those big capitals that respect the wishes of creators... First, you are not a supervisor or a producer, so why should I give you money? Even if I give you money, you are not a supervisor or a producer. Why should I respect your wishes? The most important thing is, I already have money... Why do I have to have you?

That's just the way it is.

At this stage, Gu Xue actually belongs to the type of person who is neither high nor low. He is barely famous, but of little use.

She has also considered this issue.

"If I set up a studio, I will not accept capital injection from any company in the early stage."

"Where does that money come from?"

Gu Xue scratched her face and said, "My sister...if I mentioned it, she should have given it to me."

Misawa was silent for a moment and asked cautiously: "Is your sister very rich? Although it is a small studio, hundreds of thousands are indispensable..."

"Not very rich..." Gu Xue hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know the details. Don't think of me as a little girl who doesn't understand anything. I'm not just a whim, I'm serious. In short, money will If I work alone, I will definitely be able to maintain a high degree of independence in the early stage. As for what will happen in the future, I can only take one step at a time."

There is really no way to plan a route. After all, this is a content creation industry that is full of uncertainties.

"One person..." Misawa's face looked strange.

Isn’t this the little rich woman? ?

"And if you join, the only thing I can promise is your salary, which should be higher than what you are in this company. If the studio can make a normal profit, it should be higher than the industry average. However, if you join a studio, the path to promotion will be much narrower, I don’t need to tell you this, you should be very clear about it.”

Gu Xue didn't know what Misawa was thinking, so she whispered both good and bad things.

Then she thought about it for a while, and then said: "Also...to tell you something you may not like to hear, I think you are more suitable for a single-episode performance than a supervisor. Please give up the idea of ​​being a supervisor for the time being. Maybe it’s not such a bad thing to hone your position for a few years.”

This is a fact, and it can be seen from the planning of "Little Witch Academia".

The supervisor, Misawa Hiroshi, is really fishing for the whole process.

"Why do I feel that you are deliberately suppressing my worth?" Misawa joked, and then said with some disappointment: "I am not suitable to be a supervisor. In fact, I have also noticed that I am completely unable to do what I want. If it weren't for you, maybe The project "Little Witch Academia" is about to be screwed up by me. Sure enough, I still take it for granted... The difficulty of building a framework and working within the framework are indeed completely different. Compared to me, you are more suitable to be a supervisor. Woolen cloth."

"I won't beat around the bush anymore. I just want to ask, if you have the chance in the future, will you create original works?"

Gu Xue nodded, "Of course I will do it if I have the chance."

"Then please be sure to let me participate." Misawa bowed, then raised his head and said with a smile: "To be honest, when you mentioned the salary just now, I was tempted. As for the promotion path, you also mentioned it just now. , I also think I should polish it for a few years. The reason why I asked you if you want to do original work is just a little worried, worried that you will change by then. After all, your investment also means that you have to bear the burden of the studio's profit. But since you agreed I feel relieved that I will make original works when I have the chance. To be honest, I would doubt anyone’s promise, except for yours. The reason is probably because of...your works."

"A work..." Gu Xue was a little dazed when she heard his words, but she quickly came back to her senses and chuckled:

"If you are the kind of person who believes that works can speak, then please look forward to it. What I draw now is actually just a small corner of a picture. If there is a chance, one day, I will be able to paint it. When this picture is fully unfolded, you will know what it means to be magnificent."
