Best wishes for animation production

The investors for the animated theatrical version of "Little Witch Academia: Magic Parade" have finally been confirmed.

The matter has come to an end.

As for the Nendoroid series that Gu Xue thought of in a flash, she just wanted to give it a try and asked Chisa Mihara to investigate. She just needed to make sure there were no similar products on the market and make certain preparations.

If there is spare money in the future, Gu Xue will try to contact a figure manufacturer. If not, forget it. After all, her current focus is animation production, which is YUKI Studio. Everything else she does is for YUKI Studio. For the sake of animation, we don’t put the cart before the horse.

The investment problem is solved.

Another issue that needs to be solved urgently is outsourcing, because there are really not many people in the studio, and there are a lot of parts that need to be outsourced. This is very troublesome. If you are not careful, there will be big problems with the quality of the finished product.

Currently, Hiroshi Misawa is mainly responsible for this aspect, assisted by Chisa Mihara.

Hiroshi Misawa is mainly responsible for contacting outsourcing companies for coloring, animation, background and other processes, while Chisa Mihara is mainly responsible for contacting freelance original painters. Although most original painters are currently very busy, especially freelance original painters, the theatrical version The price of the animation is 3-4 times higher than the TV version of the animation, which can still make some original animators excited, so this aspect is actually not bad.

For example, Mr. Bowen, whom Gu Xue knew, accepted a lot of cards, partly because of Miss Mihara's favor, and partly because of the money.

Of course, giving three or four times the money also means that they cannot do things with a TV animation mentality. In this regard, Gu Xue, as the animation supervisor, will control it very strictly.

Misawa Hiro's side is a bit more troublesome.

He is actually quite miserable. For a show, he is doing production work...

But there is no one in YUKI studio now, so there is really nothing we can do.

I can only endure it.

Misawa listened to Gu Xue's suggestion and actually contacted his old club, and then... was rejected unsurprisingly. On the one hand, it may indeed be because of Gu Xue's status as traitors, but the main reason why his old club did not accept outsourcing The reason, Gu Xue thinks... is that the old club has opened more stores.

This quarter is open again!

Moreover, the projects accepted by my old employer are not like the future animation projects. The construction deadlines are extremely tight. I may not even be able to handle it myself, so I will definitely not accept outsourcing.

Gu Xue knew about this and could only send a good blessing to his old club from afar.

I hope... they won't be turned into dogs by the audience.

As for feeling embarrassed or slapped, Misawa felt that way when he was rejected by his old club. He even found her and complained a few words.

But Gu Xue really didn't feel this way.

Business cooperation is normal.

And most importantly, when it comes to animation production, doesn’t the quality of the work come first? Why should we care about these things?

After hearing what she said, Misawa was finally relieved.

After being rejected by his old club.

He eventually found an alternative outsourcing company.

After all, where is the price three or four times higher? Animators usually only pay 13 yuan for a mid-cut TV animation, but the theatrical version is 40 yuan. There are still many small animation companies willing to take it.

But what about the quality in the end... Gu Xue and Misawa Guang were not sure.

You can only try to choose a company with a better reputation.

As for other processes.

If you want to paint it, don't worry, as long as it's not too much, there shouldn't be any problems.

As for the background, the quantity is not too much, so there shouldn’t be a big problem.

The outsourcing problem has been solved for the time being.

But... a new problem has arisen.

There are not enough people in the studio.

Although there are never enough people.

But the lack of production management personnel this time is quite fatal. After all, if you go to an outsourcing company or a freelance original artist to pick up the card, you can't let Misawa Hiroshi or Miss Mihara pick it up in person, right?

Anyway, this is my first attempt at animation.

There are really many problems.

After Gu Xue started production on "Little Witch Academia: Magic Parade", she became extremely busy starting from Ryo Osawa's visit.

Gu Xue could barely maintain a sense of ease before, but not now.

I am exhausted every day.

Question after question.

It's quite training...

…

A week later.

After preliminary preparation.

"Little Witch Academia" has finally officially entered the L/O drawing stage. In YUKI Studio, there are only a few original animators who moved from the old club, and there is no increase.

But YUKI Studio has a lot more people.

Mainly animators, five men and one woman in total,

We also hired two people for production, but we still haven’t recruited anyone for the business management side, so Miss Mihara still takes on the part-time role.

Needless to say, both of them have some experience in production. Gu Xue doesn't need to worry. Miss Mihara's awkward character can be handled well. If they can't... then Gu Xue will admit it.

As for the six animators.

It was Gu Xue who selected him.

Among the works they sent to YUKI Studio, Gu Xue felt they were the first ones to come over and informed them to come over.

Among the six people, five have experience in animation production, and only one has no relevant experience.

His name is Ye Ze.

Originally, he sent in the pictures he drew every day after get off work, just with a little fantasy, but he didn't expect that he would be selected.

He hasn't recovered yet, and sitting in front of the workbench, he still feels unreal.

Unfortunately, the studio currently has nothing arranged for him to do.

He felt even more unreal.

I always feel like I'm living in a dream.

YUKI Studio is very quiet because it has officially started animation production.

Looking up, everyone was lowering their heads and shaking their wrists rapidly. Only the newcomers were doing nothing.

In this environment, it is indeed difficult to feel comfortable fishing.

Ye Ze wanted to talk to the person next to him to eliminate some of the uneasiness and unreality.

But there is a girl on his left, she is pretty.

He didn't dare to come forward and talk to him, for fear that others would misunderstand him as a licker.

On his right was a tall and thick man.

He folded his arms in front of his chest and his chest muscles were shaking. He was afraid that the other party would suddenly say "do you like to play games?"

So I didn’t dare.

He can only look at his nose with his eyes and his mind with his nose.

But this is his view.

I watched it for more than two hours.

Not that no one was walking around during this period, but overall, the YUKI studio was eerily quiet.

Not many people spoke. Most of the time, what came to my ears was the subtle sound of the pen tip scratching the paper.

After waiting for so long, Ye Ze couldn't bear it anymore.

His position is close to the aisle.

He planned to wait for whoever passed by, stop him, and ask what he could do.

It's just too awkward to sit dry.

He waited and waited.

Waited for another half hour.

Finally someone passed by.

His luck was good.

Passing by was the kind-faced Guan Gu A Cheng.

Seeing the harmless appearance of the other party, he mustered up the courage and shouted.

"senior."

Guangu Ah Cheng, who was walking in a hurry, looked around and found that there was no one around. It was indeed him whom Ye Ze was calling, so he stopped and looked at him doubtfully.

"Is there anything I can do?" Ye Ze was a little nervous when he noticed that several other newcomers were looking towards him, but he still asked.

Guangu Ah Cheng was stunned when he heard his question.

Then he glanced in the direction of Gu Xue's office, patted Ye Ze's shoulder, showed an expression that was about to cry, and said: "Why are you so hard to think about..."

Ye Ze: "...?"

At this moment.

Ye Ze still didn't know why Guangu Acheng showed such an expression.
