Best wishes for animation production

"It's actually very simple. First of all, you have to forget the moves you learned before... Of course, the moves are not basic skills. Please don't forget how to draw."

Gu Xue sat in Sato Ei's seat, fastened the original drawing paper to the positioning ruler, pressed the original drawing paper with one hand, and picked up the pencil with the other. Before putting pen to paper, she raised her head slightly and looked around.

It’s better not to watch.

Seeing this, Gu Xue became a little nervous.

Being surrounded by a bunch of big men, including well-known men in the industry, must be stressful.

Even Gu Xue would have it, even if the suggestion "it's better to draw it than to explain it" was made by herself.

To ease the tense atmosphere.

Gu Xue made a joke...

But the people around her couldn't seem to find the humor in what she said, and they still looked at her with stern faces and bright eyes...

Gu Xue felt even more embarrassed...

She scratched her face with her index finger, thought about it, lowered her head and started drawing, and then slowly calmed down.

She is the type of person who easily becomes obsessed with work.

Soon, on the original painting paper.

The outline of a human figure was drawn by Gu Xue.

Probably because it was just a demonstration, Gu Xue's drawing was very rough... but her skills were really strong. Although the drawing was rough, she could still draw the outline of a human figure with just a few dozen lines.

Moreover, everyone recognized that the painting she drew was Arthur, the male protagonist in "Embracing a Better Tomorrow".

And the time it took was less than 3 minutes...

The big bosses saw that although their faces were calm, if you look carefully, you can see that the corners of their mouths were twitching.

Swish, brush, brush...

Gu Xue didn't stop. After drawing the first sketch, she took out the new original drawing paper and put it on the ruler, and continued to draw the next action.

Everyone didn't have to wait long.

Gu Xue quickly raised his head.

"You should be familiar with this painting method. According to the traditional thinking, Arthur wants to pick up the stone on the ground... His bending down is a key action. Fully bending down is a key action. Reaching for the stone is a key action. Picking up the stone is a key action. Lifting the stone is another key action, and then..."

"In this scene of picking up stones, according to the traditional thinking, when I draw, I have to first calculate the contraction and release of the movements, and then draw the key poses, such as bending down, extending the arms, grasping, and straightening the waist. Then calculate the shooting time allocated to each picture , fill out the rhythm sheet, and give it to the Zhonggean staff. Zhonggean will find a way to connect the key poses I drew based on the rhythm sheet, but will not care about restoring the real movements and time... This is our original painting tradition. The working method is to only draw key frames, which is the so-called calculation system."

"Brush brush brush"

Gu Xue grabbed the original painting on the table, flipped it over and showed it.

The big guys nodded.

They all know this.

...As Gu Xue said, this is how they work.

"And another way of thinking, the so-called timeline system..."

Halfway through her words, Gu Xue lowered her head again, took out the original drawing paper again, and started drawing again.

The pictures she drew this time were not so sloppy, but miraculously, everyone still didn't wait long...

The twitching corners of the big guys’ mouths began to widen...

"I just picked up stones. I changed my mind and allocated my time... Of course, this depends on my feeling. Then, I started painting based on the direction of considering time. For example, the first original painting I painted now, Arthur You have to bend down when you lower your head, this is the first original painting."

"But in the next picture, I did not draw the key action of 'Arthur completely bends down'. Instead, I drew Arthur, slightly lowering his head and leaning forward, and then still leaning forward, but it was already visible. When he came out, he wanted to bend down..."

Gu Xue explained while flipping over the original painting she drew.

One page, another page, another page...

"Finally, Arthur bends over completely."

Gu Xue showed the last original painting.

"Do you understand? This is the timeline system. I used one shot three, one second, eight original paintings, and these eight original paintings I drew are what I considered. Arthur bends down from the beginning to ninety He completely bent over, and his true posture changed during this period of time."

"This is the timeline system... Of course, there is no need to worry about this name. This is just a painting idea. You all looked at the painting I just painted. You should know that I did not create a structure. Because when I painted, I considered the next step. At a point in time, what is the correct posture, not the key pose."

"That's about it."

Finished.

Done.

Gu Xue took a deep breath and looked at the big guys.

The big guys don’t want to talk.

Gu Xue froze and asked again uncertainly: "Do you...understand?"

All the big guys: "..."

They... understand, they understand.

It turns out that it is easier to understand when you draw it than when you speak it.

but.

This is too exaggerated...

"Gu Xue, this kind of painting idea... requires a complete original painting?"

The big guys looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while. In the end, An Teng Zhenyu spoke first.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Gu Xue looked at him with an expression that looked like a fool, "I have said that when it comes to drawing ideas based on the timeline, the first thing to consider is the reality of time. What are the real postures of movement within a period of time? , it should be painted as it should be. Do you still want the staff who performed the surgery to work with you? Unless you two can communicate with each other, I suggest you just paint it by yourself."

An Teng Zhenyu: "..."

other people:"……"

"Then..." A big boss in the corner looked at Gu Xue and asked: "So, in the last episode of the second season of "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" that was just broadcast yesterday, your original painting meant that you All adopt the full original painting mode...?"

"How is that possible! It's just the fighting part." Gu Xue rolled her eyes, "After all, I originally thought of repaying Satoshi Nakata's favor. This is my personal matter. It's not good to increase the workload of the studio staff. In addition, I also wanted to try it, so I used the timeline drawing method and drew it by myself. As for the literary and dramatic parts, I was very busy."

Everyone: "..."

Well, it’s just the fighting part!

What we are asking about is the fighting part!

Who would think that you would use this kind of painting method for painting literary dramas...

too exaggerated.

All the big guys looked at Gu Xue, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

They already understood the timeline system that Gu Xue mentioned.

but!

But...

They learned new painting ideas and were excited, but they couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts.

They have been working in the industry for so many years, and they know very well what kind of drawing power and hand speed are required to produce a large number of original paintings according to Gu Xue's painting method, and how difficult it is!

Now, tie them all up! Maybe I can’t even draw it…

too exaggerated!

They looked at Gu Xue sitting there and couldn't figure out why such a young girl could be so... hanging.

"What's wrong? Don't you understand?"

Gu Xue looked a little distressed when she saw them smiling bitterly together.

She frowned, she must have misunderstood.

"Well, let me draw a complete set of complex fighting movements, so that you can understand the difference between the timeline-based painting ideas and the calculation-based painting ideas, and you can also feel what flowing clouds and flowing water mean."

As Gu Xue said this, he took out a new original drawing paper.

"The bridge beans are falling..."

The big guys started to panic.

Some people even raised their hands with a look of resistance on their faces...

But Gu Xue seemed to want to draw it herself, and didn't notice the expressions on the faces of these big guys, which were similar to 'I'm so full, I really can't take any more'...

More than an hour later.

Big guys, I got it successfully. Gu Xue completely reproduced several original paintings of Kensei Matsumoto...

The signature fight scene in Naruto!

A near-absolute sense of time, a high-speed fight in which the spatial relationships between characters are constantly changing!

The bosses watched helplessly as Gu Xue drew the original painting at an inhuman speed, just like a robot with no emotions, successfully suffering the first dimensionality reduction blow after becoming famous...

Then, after Gu Xue finished the painting, they looked at the original painting that Gu Xue had drawn half-heartedly, and were hit by the second dimensionality reduction blow...

It's almost broken...

…

The entrance to YUKI studio.

Gu Rou and Yu Jingyao, who were fighting downstairs, came up at some point.

They leaned against the door frame and looked at Gu Xue and the gang of big guys who seemed to have been spoiled, talking in low voices.

"What happened to them?" Gu Rou had no idea about animation production.

I have no idea what is happening now.

"If I guess correctly..."

Yu Jingyao looked at Gu Xue, pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "They want to beat your sister."
