Best wishes for animation production

"Ah... It's rare for senior to come back once, so I'll go out first."

After Gu Xue heard these things, she seemed to be in a low mood. Sato Ei quickly put away her phone and stood up.

"Yes." Gu Xue nodded, looking at the crowdfunding thank you pictures on the table that had not yet been sent out, intending to divert her attention.

It wasn't until Sato Ei opened the door of the office that Gu Xue remembered the purpose of coming to the studio. She raised her head and called Sato Ei, "Sato, wait a minute. Please call Miss Mihara when you go out."

"good."

Sato Ei turned around and agreed, left Gu Xue's office, and gently closed the door.

A few minutes later.

The door of Gu Xue's office was pushed open again.

Chisa Mihara walked in wearing a black skirt.

"I'm home……"

This was the first thing Miss Mihara said when she saw Gu Xue. Although Gu Xue was right in front of her, it felt a bit unnecessary to ask, but it really made Gu Xue feel like she was going home. She went to work at CDD Animation There is no such treatment in Fangfang. People there only make up wives who don’t exist at all...

"Back." Gu Xue responded, holding her chin in her hands, looking at Miss Mihara with a gentle expression.

"..." Noticing that Gu Xue was looking over, Miss Mihara turned slightly sideways and brushed the hair beside her ear, feeling a little shy.

There was a stalemate like this for a while.

Seeing that Gu Xue was reluctant and showed no intention of looking away, Miyuan quickly walked behind Gu Xue, avoiding her sight and massaging her shoulders at the same time.

Gu Xue was stunned for a moment, then bent down on the table, enjoying the rare moment of comfort. The fatigue caused by the busy work during this period suddenly came back. Gu Xue felt a little sleepy, and her eyelids began to fight. However, there were some things that she didn't ask clearly, so Gu Xue didn't dare to sleep.

"Have you discussed the release of "Little Witch Academia: Magic Parade" with Mr. Osawa from Small Company? What do they mean?"

The main purpose of Gu Xue's return to the studio was for this matter.

As for the reworked shots, Gu Xue had already explained it to Misawa Hiro in great detail, and he would be responsible for tracking them, so there was no need to worry too much.

"I met him this week." Upon hearing Gu Xue's question, Mihara Chisa slowed down her movements of rubbing her shoulders and said softly, "We also discussed the issue of release... The other party seems to want to delay the release of the animation. The meaning, the reason, is that after they obtained the authorization for the animated characters of "Little Witch Academia: Magic Parade", they released the pre-sale information of the figures on the official website. The pre-orders were gratifying, but there seemed to be some problems with their production. .”

Gu Xue said in confusion: "What's the point? In the end, as long as we can make it and give it to customers, wouldn't it be fine? They don't do spot goods, but pre-orders. There is no need for our animation to cooperate with the release to capture consumption. Is this the consumer impulse period for consumers?”

Miss Mihara thought for a moment and explained: "Mr. Osawa has explained this problem once. What he means is that the current production problems are a bit big. It will take a long time to solve them. He is afraid that after the animation is released, the popularity will fade away if it takes too long. , consumers will drift away or their enthusiasm will decrease...The products they want to produce this time are a bit large, and they can't afford to gamble."

"..."

Gu Xue was a little speechless: "So when do they want to release it? Have they mentioned a date?"

"Have you heard of anime L.A? Xiaoxue."

"I heard it."

Gu Xue responded.

After all, she is still an insider.

Anime L.A is the largest animation exhibition in the world and North America. For North American audiences who like hand-drawn animation, the annual event is a carnival.

Gu Xue must have heard of it.

"Mr. Osawa means that I would like to hold the premiere at the exhibition, and if possible, please come to the scene to build momentum for the animation."

"Huh?" After hearing the news, Gu Xue couldn't even sleep anymore. She straightened up suddenly and said in disbelief: "I remember that the date of this exhibition has always been mid-November, right? How many months is it now? He doesn't Do you want to put the animation that we worked so hard to complete on schedule for a few months? And this is not realistic at all. Even if we can agree to this kind of thing, the publisher will not agree. By then, it will have been released in China for half a year, and it will still be big. Why bother going to the premiere..."

"He has also considered this issue. What he means is that his company will negotiate with the publisher. As compensation, they will increase the domestic promotion budget for "Little Witch Academia: Magic Parade", unilaterally and without any changes. any terms of the contract.”

"Of course, for the other party to achieve this level, they also have a small request, which is that you must go to North America at the end of the year to participate in the premiere."

Gu Xue: "..."

To be honest, Gu Xue was a little moved.

Although delaying the release of an animation that has been completed on schedule for several months made her a little speechless.

But this is a crowd-funded animation after all, and the largest source of crowd-funded funds is North America. It premiered at the Comic Con there, which is not excessive or strange in both emotions and reason. Moreover, holding the premiere there can better utilize the advantages of "Little Witch Academia"'s own theme.

In the end, the premiere effect of the animation will definitely be better than the domestic premiere.

"... Let Osawa and his company try to negotiate with the publisher and the organizer of anime L.A. If possible, let them come over to talk."

Gu Xue figured this out, was silent for a while, and gave a plan that she was inclined to agree to.

Chisa Mihara hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Gu Xue added: "But let me go to the Comic Expo to attend the premiere. In mid-November, "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" that I am currently responsible for is already being broadcast. I may not have time. You can put my original Just talk to them."

"Okay, I will make it clear to them then."

Miss Mihara agreed to the matter.

After Yuki Studio got on track, Misawa Hiroshi, who would help with management in the early stage, no longer intervened in this aspect of work. Currently, work such as receiving guests, business cooperation negotiations, and animation production progress management and tracking are all handled by Ms. Mihara. And the people under her are responsible.

Thanks to her efforts, during this period of time for "Little Witch Academia", in addition to the figures, she also negotiated a licensing agreement for the character of a small item.

Gu Xue knows all this.

She turned to look at Chisa Mihara and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Mihara."

"It's harder for you." Mihara Chisa shook her head.

"It's boring for us to brag to each other like this." Gu Xue gave her a funny look, then lay down on the table again, muttering to herself: "But it's really tiring. I originally wanted to finish "Little Witch Academia" I took you to my house to play, but I can’t do it now. I’m sorry, I don’t want to, but I can’t help it..."

Gu Xue's voice became smaller and smaller.

The fatigue that had been building up surged up, and Gu Xue finally couldn't hold on any longer. She lay on the table and fell asleep while talking.

"..." Mihara Chisa stretched out her hand and carefully touched the side of Gu Xue's face with the back of her hand, her face full of distress. ���

The situation is very strange. Since I am writing a novel on this theme, it is really difficult to get around what happened yesterday. It is really... too much. When I was typing, I didn’t know what to write because I felt like writing Nothing fits.
