Best wishes for animation production

After the animation plays.

No need to wait for the next day.

That night, Gu Xue knew that the data of "My Youth Love Story" had extremely poor data and the barrage was extremely weird.

Don't talk about other people either.

At that time, Gu Xue couldn't figure out why this happened, she was confused...

When the animation was broadcast, Gu Xue had already gone home. It was impossible for her to go to the studio for this matter. Even if she was willing to run, there would be no one in the studio to discuss with her.

She could only force herself to sleep.

The effect can be imagined.

She is still not able to calm down during major events, and she almost stayed up all night.

the next day.

When Gu Xue went to the studio, she almost fell asleep on the tram...

When she rushed to the YUKI studio tiredly, what she saw... was a group of people who were just like her, with thick dark circles under their eyes, and who were 'in high spirits'.

"morning……"

Noticing that other people were looking at her with worried faces, Gu Xue cheered up and said hello, and then walked into her office after telling them not to worry with her eyes.

In fact, the current situation is quite troublesome.

"My Youthful Love Story Really Has Problems" is YUKI Studio's first TV animation... It is not the work of another production company supervised by Gu Xue, but its own work, and YUKI Studio is still on the production committee, and the animation is at a loss Ying and YUKI Studio are closely related.

This work has put the efforts of Gu Xue and many people in the studio. Although this is a campus animation and the intensity of the painting is far less than that of the previous outsourcing or the "Little Witch Academia" theatrical version, it is the most important work of the studio at present. , there is no doubt about this.

But now this most important work has encountered a waterloo in the first episode...

One can imagine the mood of everyone in Yuki Studio.

The most annoying thing is.

Now many people don’t even know what is wrong with this animation or where it went wrong.

You said the production was not good, but no one said that at all.

You say the plot is bad, but no one says that at all.

Now this animation, even though the number of views is not increasing, no one praises or criticizes it in the evaluation. Occasionally I saw someone talking about it, and it was a simple "five-second warning" that confused many people in the studio. It was very Annoying.

I don't even know what's wrong.

It is not a situation that can be changed by hard work.

Morale in the studio is extremely low right now.

But what people at the studio are most worried about right now is not animation.

It's Gu Xue, the backbone of Yuki Studio.

…

the other side.

Gu Xue is actually not as fragile as others in the studio imagined.

Of course panic.

But her endurance is still quite strong.

One night was enough for her to recover.

And not sleeping all night last night also allowed her to vaguely grasp the key factors that would lead to this situation.

this will.

She returned to the office, sat down, took a deep breath, took out her phone, opened Twitter, and instead of refreshing the tweets like looking for a needle in a haystack, she directly searched for the name [Hashimoto Ai].

Wait until you see what the other person tweeted last night.

Gu Xue sighed and said to herself: "As expected."

It happened to be at this time.

Yu Jingyao broke in through the door.

"Gu Xue!"

"...Don't be so loud, I'm fine." Gu Xue raised her hand to indicate that she shouldn't be so excited.

"It's fine."

But Yu Jingyao obviously didn't believe her words and looked worried.

"How are the views now?" Gu Xue shook her head and changed the topic.

"I don't know how it happened. Whether it's the ratings on the TV station or the number of views on the video website, they are... terrible." Yu Jingyao's expression was complicated, "There is almost no discussion."

"...As expected." Gu Xue leaned on the back of her chair and looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been bored and painted "Five Centimeters per Second" in the first place, but now I've shot myself in the foot. "

"This is none of your business!"

"Sister Yujing, don't you understand?" Gu Xue sat upright and looked into Yujing Yao's eyes, "Now I am reaping the consequences. How many people have seen the Five Seconds during the New Year, and how many people have felt uncomfortable. Now How many people don’t want to see our studio’s new work…”

"This is not the same thing at all..."

"Are they really not the same thing?" Gu Xue interrupted her, "Sister Yujing, think about it carefully, what is the bundled announcement of animation and comics? The two-part love story that I, the supervisor, devoted myself to... this There was no problem originally, and I didn’t think there was any problem, but we ignored that in the eyes of the people who watched Second Five during the Chinese New Year, there was a problem.”

"The animation can indeed gain popularity if it is bundled with the manga, but during the Chinese New Year, through the promotion of people like Hashimoto Ai, Second Five is really... deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. During that time, it was all ridicule about this animation. , accusation, and recollection of one's own love. In the later stage, some people even maliciously recommended this comic to newcomers who have just entered the house and yearn for love. As they played with it, the jokes came out. "

"The warning of Second Five is proof. All of this has made Second Five break away from the scope of pure works and become a meme culture. And "My Youth Love Story" has the same theme as the comic, and it is also similar to Second Five Tightly tied together, facing such a work that seems to be the second part of "5 Centimeters per Second", many viewers are naturally resistant in their hearts, because the previous jokes have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. This kind of work is uncomfortable to watch, but you can use Come to trick people."

"Even though the first episode of "My Youthful Love Story" is very relaxing overall, who can guarantee that you won't get stomachache later? Who can guarantee that the work will continue to be relaxing? As an audience, will you? Are you worried that the animation will suddenly start? You will definitely be worried."

Yu Jingyao's eyes dimmed: "Isn't that right..."

"Stop." Gu Xue interrupted Yujing Yao again, "This is none of your business. In fact, it is beneficial to bundle publicity, and the animation has indeed gained popularity. Look at the sand sculpture netizens having fun now. Just give me a warning."

"The trigger that caused all of this was not the publishing of Second Five and the bundled announcement, but this person."

Gu Xue woke up the phone screen and displayed Hashimoto Ai's Twitter in front of Yujing Yao, "Her help in publicity is the fatal blow. She completely cut off the popularity of our animation. With such an idol's size , is very scary, it is she who bundled our animation with Second Five, so that passers-by, the biggest source of animation views, dare not watch it.”

“These passers-by didn’t care or didn’t know who was the supervisor of the animation “My Youth Love Story”, but they knew who Ai Hashimoto was... Under the promotion of Ai Hashimoto, these passers-by , everyone knows that the animation is supervised by the author of Second Five, and our animation is similar to Second Five..."

"Let's put it this way, the people who are watching our animation now, apart from joining in the fun, really like the theme of Second Five and want to try new things. The largest group of people are probably passers-by who don't know the situation. They may know Second Five, but I didn’t know that I was the author of Five Seconds, nor did I know that the animation studio was closely related to the comic Five Centimeters Per Second. Originally, there would have been more of these people. If there were more of these people, the impact of Five Seconds could be diluted. Once it formed a scale The discussion will attract more people to watch it, but now, because of Hashimoto Ai’s tweet, it is gone.”

"Because of her tweet, people who know that I am the author of Five Seconds have strengthened their impression. Those who don't know know it, and the discussion cannot be scaled up. Most people don't like to discuss their favorite animations on the Internet. Occasionally, some people say that our animation If it’s good, it will be considered as a joke or a trick, and it won’t attract new viewers at all… Then, the animation becomes like this.”

Gu Xue said a lot in one breath.

Looks very calm.

But Yu Jingyao looked at her with heartache: "Gu Xue..."

"I'm fine."

Gu Xue smiled brightly at her, "This kind of upset caused by accidental publicity will not completely bury the animation. As long as the quality of the animation is good, there will always be a day when it can turn around, although it may take a longer time... ...Moreover, it’s not like we don’t have a chance to turn around now. After all the first episodes of this season’s new series are aired, it’s almost time for many UPs to make complaints about the new series. Among these UP owners, as long as there is one head-turning UP, Mentality, after watching "Guo Qing" and rectifying its name, we still have a chance, although it is still a gamble."

Yu Jingyao: "..."

"Don't cry with a sad face. Believe me, what happened this time has nothing to do with the quality of the work, and it's none of your business. It's just a mistake that made it happen. Our studio is not that fragile, even if it really fails this time , I also have a way, I don’t know how to explain to my sister if you act like this." Gu Xue saw that Yujing Yao still hadn't recovered, and comforted her with full energy.

Yu Jingyao looked at Gu Xue who was full of energy and said, "I don't know how to explain to your sister..."

"Then do me a favor. I'll help you explain to your sister." Gu Xue stood up, patted her shoulder, and said in a half-joking tone, "Go out and calm the emotions of other people in the studio, so that they can feel at ease. Do a good job in the next episodes, so that people’s hearts and the animation will not collapse together.”

"and you……"

"I'm fine, really, and I'll be busy next time." Gu Xue stretched, "I thought of a way, I don't know if it will work, I want to try it."

"……any solution?"

"Since Five Seconds is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone thinks that I am a literary youth who can only draw this kind of love story, then I will subvert their concept, if not subvert it, at least downplay it... In short, do your best and obey fate. Anyway, it’s impossible for me to just accept my fate and wait for death.”

Speaking of which.

Gu Xue paused, emphasized her tone, and repeated.

"...Absolutely unreasonable!"

When saying this.

Gu Xue didn't have her usual playful attitude and looked extremely serious and reliable.
