The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Star Shepherd's heart twitched slightly.

Yes, how did he forget this.

Different planes, since the degree of development of animation culture is different, it is normal that the development of animation production technology is different. find a solution.

only……

He looked at the three copyright sections of [Comics], [Fiction], and [Games] in the system mall, and he had an answer in his heart, but he still asked casually: "Why didn't I see the section related to animation technology?"

013: [The host has insufficient achievement points, unable to open the technology section. 】

Obviously, what the system means is that his current achievement points are not enough to start the animation technology sector, not that he doesn't have it. In other words, in other planes, there are technical means to effectively reduce the cost of animation production.

Thinking of this, Shepherd also heaved a sigh of relief.

If you are poor, you will take care of yourself alone, and achieve the goal of helping the world at the same time.

The Shepherd Star in the previous life can only help them in investment, but this is a temporary solution after all. If the problem of high animation production costs can be effectively solved, it will be a qualitative leap for the development of the entire animation industry!

Thinking of this, Shepherd star calmed down instead.

There is no point in thinking too much now. Since it is a matter of achievement points, the most urgent task is to accumulate a lot of achievement points and strive to open the technical sector as soon as possible.

"013, help me with the income settlement of "IS"."

["IS" planar cultural promotion effect is being settled...]

[Ding, "IS" settlement is completed, the animation viewing rate is 5.1%, the favorable rate is 60.1%, the reward achievement point is 3000, and one skill point can be allocated. The host's various abilities are as follows. 】

Name: Shepherd Star

Age: 20

Reputation: 5000 (somewhat famous)

Original painting skills: level 5

Knowledge Reserve: Level 5

Audiovisual Aesthetics: Level 6

Animation Rendering: Level 5

Design Thinking: Level 5

Creation Speed: Level 6

Shot Rhythm: Level 6

Screenwriting Narrative: Level 5

Achievement Points: 8600

Compared with "The Little Prince", the praise rate of "IS" is obviously much worse, but this is not surprising. Considering the theme and genre of "IS", it is impossible to obtain a high praise rate.

As usual, this time Shepherd Star also chose to add skill points to the skill [Creation Speed].

After adding skill points, Mu Suxing opened the system mall again, intending to see which comics and novel copyrights he could afford, and 013's voice sounded again——

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the main task. 】

Main task: An excellent production team is the basis for creating excellent animations. The host is required to form an animation production team that meets the system requirements within one year.

Task progress: Completed.

Task reward: draw once in ten consecutive card pools, 1000 achievement points.

Shepherding Xing looked again, and the column of achievement points on his profile had now changed to 9600 points.

Speaking of which, he took on this main task not long after he met the system, but because he had not met the conditions for the system to judge, more than half a year had passed, and the main task had not been completed. Now it seems that it should be not long ago The job fair worked.

Thinking of this, Mu Suxing opened the card pool page in the system mall, and his eyes fell on the [Ten Consecutive Draw] that was already lit up at the moment.

He looked at the gleaming card pool page on the system interface, and decided to be superstitious once - he got up and washed his hands, and then clicked the button of [Ten consecutive draws].

With the flash of colorful streamer, the ten cards were neatly arranged in front of him.

The first thing Shepherd noticed was the color of the cards. There were two purple cards, eight white cards, and no gold cards.

This discovery disappointed Mu Su Xing for a moment, but he quickly regained his energy. He also knew, how could this card drawing system produce gold cards again and again?It's not bad to have two SR purple cards like this.

He opened the cards one by one——

[SR] Almighty Dubbing Skill Card [Trial Version]

Make the host master the top all-round CV dubbing skills in an instant.

Limited time: one year.

It seems that it is an advanced version of the dubbing card from last time?Star Shepherd's eyes stayed on this familiar card for a second, then quickly looked away and looked at another SR card.

【SR】Conan's Watch [Trial Version]

Item description: Dr. A Li's tailor-made watch for Conan, with two functions of flashlight and anesthesia.

(Do you think I'm a watch? In fact, I'm anesthetized Kikura~——Animation Master Cultivation System)

Limited number of uses: once.

Shepherd star: "..."

Shepherd's mood is a bit complicated.

To be reasonable, he is an animation producer, what is the use of such a weird watch?Even for cosplay, you don't need such advanced props, okay?

Not to mention, it can only be used once.

It's not as easy to use as the flashlight bought at a dozen credit points outside!

With a feeling of suffocation, Shepherd continued to look at the remaining eight R cards, which are:

[R] Inspiration Potion X4

Lack of inspiration?Try this, maybe it will lead you to meet your muse.

Effective time: 30 minutes.

[R] Energy Potion X4

Take this potion and it will boost your energy.

Valid time: one hour.

Although the grade is low and the duration is short, overall, the practicality should be pretty good?

It just so happened that he planned to take advantage of the window period in between to study on his own. Maybe these two potions could help him obtain unexpected gains.

……

a week later.

"What about the character design? Continue to use the one from the first season?"

"Director Dai, Ms. Liu Wan, the voice actress, has no schedule recently. Will her dubbing part be postponed?"

"The storyboard scripts for the first three episodes are ready, and I have sent them to your email, Xiao Dai."

On the third floor of Huaying Animation Office Building, which belongs to the studio of the production team of the second season of "IS", a series of questions rushed to all the decision makers from all directions. Dai Yuyan took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. Come down and respond one by one in an orderly manner:

"The character design can generally be maintained in the first season. Let Xiao Zhang design another set of clothes for the heroines. If the style is different, try to correspond to the national characteristics in their animations."

"Liu Wan's dubbing has been postponed, and the other roles will be dubbed first."

"Well, I saw it, no problem, the performance of the next three episodes will also be entrusted to you."

……

Gao Yuan stood alone in a corner of the hall, watching the grand occasion inside nervously and expectantly.

After listening to Mu Suxing's so-called "curve to save the country" suggestion, he has now officially become a member of Huaying Animation - the difference is that he is working as an investment project manager that he is familiar with, and he is short of joining the animation production team , There is still a long way to go to realize my childhood animation dream.

What he can do now is to observe and learn the knowledge and skills related to animation production on the spot without affecting the work of the production team.

Dai Yuyan's instructions rang out in the hall clearly and forcefully. It could be seen that after experiencing the initial bewilderment, the new director quickly entered the state, and his words and deeds became more confident and calm. Looking forward to it, she even had the leisure to smile at him: "How do you feel?"

While she was speaking, she lowered her head again and quickly scanned the storyboards handed over by other employees.

Mu Suxing said that by handing over the second season of "IS" to Dai Yuyan, she really handed over the full power to her. From the writing of the specific plan, to the selection of a series of personnel after the public approval at the company meeting, Dai Yuyan is all in charge. Independently responsible, the Shepherd Star not only did not intervene during the period, but did not even intend to come down to inspect.

Because of this, this time, they no longer have the storyboard script drawn by Star Shepherd himself, and all the preparations for the second season of "IS" are all done by the internal employees of the company.

"It feels great!" Gao Yuan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, so that he would not look like a stunned young man who had just arrived in the workplace - you must know that before he came to Huaying Animation, he was still a serious person The top executives of well-known companies.

He opened his mouth, feeling that he was so excited that it was hard to express.

When the scene that I had imagined countless times in my youth has become a reality that is very close in front of me and is very likely to be realized, the sense of joy and satisfaction is far from being comparable to the numbness of daily work in the past, even if I just look at it now. Gao Yuan also felt infinitely satisfied.

Dai Yuyan paused for a while, looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, and saw that the other party still looked like he was in a dream, she smiled knowingly: "I mean, is there any aspect that you are more interested in?" Interested? You can ask me when I'm free."

When she said this, she paused for a moment, seeing Gao Yuan blinking her eyes in disbelief, she had no choice but to remind: "Didn't you enter our Huaying for this? The boss told me about it , let me have a moment to remind you of—"

She brought up the matter of recruiting that day again, and Gao Yuan realized it now, and quickly waved his hand: "No, this is too much trouble for you, your work is more important."

It is undeniable that at the beginning, he did choose to join Huaying Animation for this purpose.

But after going through these days of work, and even observing the interior of Huaying Animation, Gao Yuan's thoughts have also undergone certain changes.

He still likes animation, and still wants to use his spare time to regain his youthful dreams, but this purpose is no longer the only reason for him to choose Huaying. In other words, even if Shepherd Xing withdraws this condition, Gao Yuan will still choose Huaying.

Not only because Huaying is an animation company, but also because of the strength and potential of Huaying itself.

In order to avoid Dai Yuyan's misunderstanding, Gao Yuan continued before she could speak, "I'm not being polite to you..." He couldn't help laughing as he watched the lively scene of people coming and going in the hall, and then he sincerely Said: "For me, it is enough to be able to stand here and watch your work. Let's talk about the rest after the work in hand is finished."

It's not like being polite.

Dai Yuyan was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything. The girl put the hair in front of her back behind her ears, and nodded briefly: "Okay."

She turned around to leave, Gao Yuan thought for a while, but still couldn't help asking: "Well... I want to ask, does the boss have other animation plans?" Except that he had met Mu Su Xing himself at the job fair that day, he Gao Yuan has basically never seen anyone from the Shepherd Star since he joined the job for a week.

Dai Yuyan looked back at him, Gao Yuan explained: "I see that you have been working for almost a week, and I have been here for a week, but the boss seems to have never shown up... Is he busy with other company projects?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the girl on the opposite side paused slightly, with a subtle expression on her face, and then disappeared in an instant. Dai Yuyan coughed lightly, and said nonchalantly: "The company's new animation plan has not yet been determined, but our boss There are so many things to do every day, and you are very busy on weekdays, it is normal that you can't see him, just wait for the new animation project to be confirmed."

After saying this, Dai Yuyan left in a hurry—it seemed that she was busy continuing to direct the second season of "IS", and only she knew that she was actually running away at the moment.

after all……

As a half-informed person, it is really difficult for her to tell the newcomer in front of her who is full of hope and longing for the company. In his eyes, the "genius animation director" who is "wise and powerful" and "far-sighted" is happily in five The building belongs to my own office, acting as... a salted fish_(:3J∠)_

"How can this be called salted fish?" In the president's office on the fifth floor, drinking freshly brewed tea, slowly enjoying the new animation playing on the notebook, Mu Su Xing justly refuted the doubts from his friends : "For any animation director, it is very necessary to regularly watch the excellent works of other directors so as to improve their own directing ability."

Wen Feihang looked contemptuous: "This is the reason why you have come to the company on time at eight o'clock in the morning to catch up with Xianyu for a week, and have been watching until you get off work?"

Fang Lian and him shared the same hatred: "That's right, that's right, we're all so busy, and yet you're chasing Fan here? Would you like us to bring you some Potato Chips and Fat Boy Happy Water? Chasing Fan doesn't have enough snacks." boring."

"Study, how can it be called salted fish?" Mu Suxing pretended not to understand the sarcasm in Fang Lian's words: "Forget about junk snacks, brother Sheng won't let me eat those, if you are free, give them to me." Just bring some tea from Spring Breeze."

Wen Feihang & Fang Lian, who came up to urge a job and were still showing their faces invisibly: "???"

"Be careful what you say, Mu Xiaoxing." Wen Feihang knocked on the desk: "There are two single dogs standing in front of you, can't you pay more attention to the issue of influence?"

"That's right," Fang Lian added: "Don't change the subject, what we're discussing is your recent salty behavior—"

Obviously, the two people who were dragged by Dai Yuyan to the "IS" production team next door to work as coolies were extremely disdainful of Mu Suxing's salty fish status in the past week. Pull up and go to work, and swear to the point of not giving up.

Seeing that the two were unyielding, Mu Su Xing had no choice but to use his trump card: "Did you forget that I am the boss of Huaying?"

Wen Feihang & Fang Lian: "..." Damn it, how could I forget this!

The two were speechless, and it was hard to refute for a while, Mu Suxing waved his hand: "Okay, you two wage earners, hurry up and go back to work for me, and be careful if I deduct your wages!" The demeanor of an evil capitalist!

The exploited little poor had no choice but to leave in despair.

[Because the animation you selected is too strange,] 013 said, while looking at the laptop in front of Xing Muju, it was playing an animation that was evaluated by "Anime Weekly" as "a poor imitation of IS". Recently, the industry has recognized the following bad movies: [You play this kind of animation, who will believe that you are for learning? 】

Mu Suxing was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that he seemed to have clicked on the wrong animation, and quickly changed the currently playing animation to "Blood Rose": "...I guess I accidentally clicked the wrong animation."

【That's all right now," 013 said: 【It is estimated that half of the company now knows that their boss blows the air conditioner and drinks tea in the upstairs office when they are busy in the dark. 】

Shepherd Xing was suspicious: "Why do I hear you seem to be gloating?"

013 denied: [No, you heard wrong. 】

Mu Suxing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't really care about it.

He said that it was a closed-door training, but in fact he was not trying to be perfunctory. He was indeed studying, but the content of the study was neither the harem fan he accidentally ordered, nor the "Blood Rose" that he used to cover up today. It is the original manga "Fire Bird" by Osamu Tezuka.

This unfinished work drawn by Tezuka Osamu, the god of comics recognized by the alien plane, is breathtaking in its grand thought and profound philosophy, and can be called the insurmountable peak in the history of Japanese animation.

He has been concentrating on the system reading interface for the past few days, and he is inevitably a little absent-minded about other things, so he doesn't even know that the animation he used to cover up is wrong.

Although it is a long manga, the length of "Fire Bird" is actually not particularly long. What affects the reading speed of Shepherd Xing is the depth of the work itself and the exquisite story structure of the manga. Occasionally he will even stop specifically to study A comic storyboard of a certain page in a while.

It has to be said that as a manga author of a different plane, he is indeed worthy of the title of "God of Manga". Whether it is the artist, storyboard, narrative, or the depth and breadth involved in the manga, it is shocking.

Considering that the serialization period of some works of this comic master was decades before computers were used to draw, he was able to draw hand-painted serial comics with the effect of high-definition photos...

Mu Juxing sighed: "It's not an exaggeration to say that this painter tortured and killed most of the cartoonists."

He sighed casually, and quickly put his energy back on the manga in front of him again, studying it intently. Except for ordering a takeaway in the middle, after lunch, he spent the rest of the time in "The Bird of Fire" superior.

What pulled him out of the comic world again was the sudden prompt from 013.

[Ding, the host has comprehended some skills of "Fire Bird", and the screenwriter's narrative is automatically upgraded to level 6. 】

Ok?

The screenwriter's narrative has been upgraded?

Shepherd Xing clicked on his personal form a little surprised, and as expected, this skill, which he had never added before, had now been upgraded to level 6.

"Reading excellent works can also improve skill points?"

013: [Reading excellent works does not necessarily improve skill points. Only when the host understands something during the process of studying excellent comics or animation works can he improve skill points. During this process, the system plays an auxiliary role and can Whether to improve skill points depends on the host's own comprehension ability and effort. The higher the level, the more difficult it will be to improve. 】

[If the host simply takes out a comic book and reads it, it will not be able to gain skill points from it. 】

It 013 is not the kind of doting system that can easily get bonus points as long as the host reads casually for three hours╭(╯^╰)╮

To put it bluntly, the reason why Xing Mu Xing was able to get this skill point is because his own skill level in screenwriting and narrative is relatively low, and the requirements for upgrading from level 5 to level 6 are relatively lower. "Fire Bird" has been studied for a week, and the long-term reading of high-quality comics in the research system mall for nearly a year is the result of accumulation.

In the future, if you want to rely on this method to improve your skill points, you will need to spend more research and practice in private. It is not something that can be easily done in a day or two, nor in a month or two.

Shepherd star is clear.

For this result, he is not disappointed - after all, he has seen through the true face of 013 a long time ago: for cards that have nothing to do with animation production, 013 seems to be free of money, but for animation related cards, 013 I was so stingy that I didn't give him more easily.

[It is detected that the host's "screenwriting narrative" skill has reached the standard, and the new section "Script Analysis Room" can be opened. Does the host consume 8000 achievement points to open new functions? 】

"Script analysis room?" Star Shepherd asked curiously, "What is this?"

[The system will evaluate the animation script written by the host in various aspects such as plot, structure, connotation and market, and give some suggestions for revision. After the host independently completes the original animation script, he can use the script analysis room to obtain the market in advance Feedback, according to system calculations, the accuracy of the script analysis room is 90%. 】

Shepherd star's eyes brightened.

Compared with the system mall that directly provides adaptation resources, this new function is obviously implemented to cultivate the original script writing ability of animation directors——

To put it simply, for Musuxing’s original animation script, the script analysis room will give evaluations from two aspects: depth and market, whether the animation can be well received, how much should be the positive rate, or whether the animation is a hit, and if it is a hit, the specific What numbers can be achieved by subscription or box office, and the forecast results and revision opinions are given one by one.

As long as Shepherd Xing wants, he can even keep revising until the subscription or box office figures given by the script analysis room reach the figures he is satisfied with.

The only thing that makes Star Shepherd depressed is...

"This new function requires too many achievement points, right?"
