Before the next review, 24 working days, a total of 480,000 yen!
He Ma was speechless, although this amount of money was not enough to fill the huge funding gap that Chiyoko had just shown him, it was still enough to greatly ease the financial situation of the Kiryu family.
Even if Chiyoko didn't speak, he would take the job.
Okada Koji continued: "We have prepared the title of series supervisor for you, what do you think?"
Okada Kouji had a good relationship with Wama before, and they used "you" to call each other. At this time, they specially changed their honorific names, probably to match the title of Director Xiu.
He Ma: "Yes, very good."
In fact, he doesn't care about the title at all, as long as he gives money, he can call it whatever.
You can call it a sweeping monk.
"Then, why don't you come to our place after school tomorrow." Akito Anno's address to Kazuma has not changed. "It's not okay to always fail the review of the production committee."
Kazuma glanced at Akino Anno and said, "Okay, let's use 24 days to make something that those fat guys can understand, but the art is also worthy of our conscience."
As soon as Akito Anno heard that art must be worthy of his conscience, he immediately cheered up: "Okay, that's the deal."
**
The next day, after class with Ma, he went directly to Okada Koji and his company.
Yuzao went with him because the revised version of the book passed the review.
Okada Koji's company is a five-story building, and it can't be seen from the outside that it is a place that is burning real money from investors.
The front desk on the first floor was empty, there was not even a girl on duty, and the elevator next to the information desk hadn't even torn off the wrapping paper from Sileng Heavy Industry.
He Ma reckoned that these people found it troublesome to go up the stairs, so he used the investor's money to build an elevator, and after finishing it, he just made do with it until now, without taking care of it at all.
Kazuma pressed the button of the elevator, and the door opened directly.
The plywood is not even removed inside the elevator—the main function of this kind of plywood is to protect the metal box inside the elevator during construction to prevent scratches. Generally, the board is removed after construction, and the smooth and beautiful metal inner wall can be directly exposed.
But they just didn't dismantle it, so they just used it, highlighting a lazy word.
After the elevator doors closed, Kazuma pressed the button for the fourth floor.
When Koji Okada introduced yesterday, he said that the second and third floors are mainly the places where the painting team works, the fourth floor is the workplace for the original artists, and the fifth floor is the workplace for senior positions such as supervisors and art directors.
It can only be said that it is a company established by the Japanese, with a clear hierarchy.
While the elevator was going up, Yuzao said, "If the dojo's funds are really struggling, I can introduce you to an underground bank."
"Usually, you should lend me the money here, right?"
"Although our Jinguji family's wagashi store is a century-old store, it is a small business after all, and there is not so much money to lend." Yuzao said with a smile, "That's why I want to publish books to make money."
I believe you ghost, the wealth you have accumulated over the years, a thousand-year-old vixen, is probably not a pile of gold bars buried in the ground at home!
Yuzao: "No, the wealth I accumulated was used for restoration in order to see more of the outside world and the possibility of seeing more human beings."
Is that so!
He Ma was about to complain about Yuzao, when the elevator door opened, and at the same time as the door opened, someone shouted outside: "Oh, my energy drink is finally here!"
Then He Ma heard someone running quickly.
The man arrived at the door of the elevator, and before he looked inside, he spoke first: "Energy drink, hurry up, I'm waiting to relieve my fatigue... Uh, who are you two?"
He Ma observed the man carefully, with a slightly fat figure, wearing glasses, a plaid shirt on the upper body, and a pair of colorless toad mirrors—now intellectuals, regardless of liberal arts and science, are dressed in the same way.
At this time Okada Koji appeared: "Oh, is Ms. Jinguji here too? That's great. Our main beauty is doing some Japanese-style designs. I just invite Ms. Jinguji to take a look."
Jinguji Yuzao smiled and said, "I'm not very knowledgeable in Japanese art, so I probably can't help much."
He Ma subconsciously broke the stage: "You have danced Japanese dance for three hundred years..."
"That was an excuse to reject the invitation from the Japan Dance Association. It happened half a year ago. How do you remember it?"
It's not just me that He Ma Xin wants to remember. Your statement has become an urban legend of the University of Tokyo.
Koji Okada: "Anyway, please... oh yes, this is our concept designer, Kunikida-kun from Musashino Art Academy."
Kunikida bowed slightly to Kazuma: "It's the first time we met, you are Kiryu Kazuma, right? Can you actually perform ninjutsu?"
He Ma looked blank: "Now?"
"Yes... um, no! I can do it when I have free time. I will be responsible for drawing the original concept art of Cyber Ninjutsu."
Talking to the horse, and then turned back and kicked the wall, the person stuck to the ceiling of the elevator, stuck to the corner like a spider.
Kunikida exclaimed: "Oh, that's great, so you can't see Kiryu-sensei from the outside!"
He and the horse landed calmly.
Kunikida was still muttering to himself: "It turns out that it is so simple and in line with the laws of physics, but it can also achieve the effect of ninjutsu. So much cooler! I feel inspired!"
While muttering, he turned and flew back to his place.
Kazuma asked Koji Okada worriedly: "Are all the people you recruited such guys?"
"Yes, they are a little weird, but they are definitely talented." Koji Okada showed a proud expression, "We have probably formed the most talented team in the history of Japanese animation."
Seeing his confident appearance, He Ma had a vague premonition that the animation made by these people on this world line would probably follow the old path of Wang Li's Cosmic Army.
—Forget it, I don’t care about them, anyway, I’m here to earn 24 days of food money, and I’ll leave when I’m done.
"Let me show the two of you a tour of our working environment." Okada Koji said and made a "this way please" gesture.
Only then did He Ma get out of the elevator.
Tamamo followed at half the height of him.
He Ma has visited domestic animation studios in his life, and his impression is that there are a lot of computers, the ones with electronic drawing boards.
But now there is no such advanced equipment, Okada Koji and the others look like a large studio.
Kunikida-kun, who just got inspiration from Kazuma, is now sitting in front of a large drawing board, drawing something quickly with a brush.
Akito Anno, on the other hand, sat in front of a machine that looked like a teaching slide projector he had seen when he was in school.
It is the kind of machine that has a backlight to illuminate the film with written titles and writing on the blackboard, and then uses a mirror to reflect and project it onto the screen.
The backlight of the machine was on, and the white light cast the pattern on the film on the machine onto Akino Anno's face.
Okada Koji led Kazuma and Tamamo to his side, and patted him on the shoulder: "Teacher Kiryu is here, and Miss Jinguji is also here."
Anno Akito turned his head and glanced, nodded his head as a greeting, and then said to Okada Koji: "I suddenly had a wonderful idea yesterday, you see we changed the main characters from the 112th to the 140th frame to Will it be more expressive this way?"
As he spoke, Akito Anno picked up a dozen films that he had put aside, loaded them into a hand-cranked device, and placed them on the backlight.
As he turned the handle, the film in the device began to flip at a constant speed, and the characters drawn on the film began to move.
He Ma opened his mouth wide. When he visited the animation studio in his previous life, they also demonstrated how to animate the animation, but it was demonstrated by a computer.
This kind of hand-cranked demonstration and horse is the first time I have seen it.
Okada Koji leaned over to look: "Indeed...it seems to be smoother, what does Mr. Kiryu think?"
He Ma: "I remember that in the demo clip you gave me yesterday, this shot should be a scene with a lot of furniture and sundries, right?"
"Yes." Akino Anno asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Do you think there are too many elements in the scene that affect the visual expression?"
And the horse shook his head.
No, I think you didn't use the props in the scene.
He Ma: "It will be faster if I actually show you. Do you have a place with a lot of miscellaneous furniture?"
Koji Okada: "Yes, we have all the equipment on the second floor, but we haven't recruited animators to move in yet. The entire floor is just filled with workstations, and there is no one there."
Both He Ma and Ma were startled. These people really don’t take investors’ money as money. No matter how many animators there are, they need to prepare all the equipment in the workplace first.
"You don't have an animator, so how did you make the demo you showed us?" He Ma asked in surprise.
"The original artist just needs to draw the middle frame." Anno Akito waved his hand, "It's just a matter of little effort."
Hema glanced at the film still installed in the hand-cranked device in front of him, thinking that for this guy, it might really be just a matter of random drawing.
Okada Koji: "Anyway, let's go to the second floor for a demonstration? A small part of the third floor has been activated, and several animators started working today."
Kazuma: "Okay, let's go to the second floor. Maybe break it a little bit—I mean break some stools or something."
Koji Okada: "It's okay, just add some chairs and so on."
Kazuma nodded, and then said to Yuzao: "I will trouble you to play a rivalry with me later, and play the bad guy."
"Is it okay to embroider my feet like this?" Yuzao asked with a smile.
"Of course you can, as long as you have a meaning."
So Yuzao nodded: "Then leave it to me."
Akito Anno clapped his hands: "Everyone! Our supervisor is going to show us ninjutsu, stop what you're doing first, and go to the second floor to observe together! Who, you go to the fourth floor and ask the original artists to stop doing it, and get off Go to the theater on the second floor."
Hema smiled wryly beside him: "It's not ninjutsu, it's just a demonstration of some indoor fighting skills."
"Anything is fine." Anno Akito urged, "Let's go."
**
When Kiryu, Ma and Tamamo went down to the second floor, the entire company gathered.
Kazuma heard someone exclaiming: "It's really that Kiryu and Maye!"
He glanced at the crowd, and found the young man in his early twenties who was exclaiming without any difficulty—no, he is not yet twenty years old, so he can't call someone in his twenties a young man.
Should be called big brother...
Kazuma introduced himself to everyone: "That's right, I am Kiryu Kazuma. Today I will show you how to deal with a superior number of enemies in this complex indoor environment full of debris."
As soon as I finished talking with Ma, someone raised their hand and asked, "Ms. Kiryu, did you really teach Ms. Fujii?"
—Sure enough, the topic turned to Mikako again.
Akito Anno straightened his face: "Now we are still working, and chatting can wait until the lunch break."
He waved his hand with the horse: "There is no way for everyone to be curious. Yes, Mikako Fujii is my apprentice."
"So those predictions she made are actually your predictions?" Someone asked again.
Hema said in his heart, "That's right, it's my prediction," but he replied, "I'm just Mikako Fujii's kendo teacher. Although I often discuss international relations with her, I haven't taught her anything. I'm from Tokyo. University law school, international relations is not my field of expertise."
The person who just asked the question immediately asked again: "So Ms. Fujii is really smart?"
Kazuma immediately seemed to deny this problem, but that might cause Mikako to be expelled from school.
After she dropped out of school, she probably stayed at the Kiryu dojo all day long.
As far as Mikako's appetite is concerned, if she becomes the proprietress of the dojo, she will not be able to support her horse.
After all, there is already an edible Qingliu.
But Jean and Ma flattered the monkey out of conscience, but he refused, so after struggling for a while, Hema replied: "Megazi has a very bright head, but he doesn't like to use his brain, and he doesn't like to study.
"Look at her performance as a guest on some talk shows recently, you may have already discovered it.
"Sometimes she's very organized and at other times she's a headless chicken, winning by disjointed sophistry.
"This is caused by her knowledge reserve. She only remembers the things that were discussed with us. Except for those things, she usually does not take the initiative to learn.
"Once she got past her knowledge base, she just started bumping around."
After talking about this, Kazuma is still a little proud: neither will Mikako be exposed and drop out of school, nor will she be overly flattered.
In fact, what He Ma said is basically true except that he did not admit that all the predictions were made by him.
This should not make Mikako's inflated reputation any higher!
He was proud of himself, and the person who asked the question sighed: "So it's like this, so her wonderful counterattacks on various programs all rely on her quick wits to play on the spot!"
Um
He Ma frowned involuntarily, and found that things were not simple.
"Miss Fujii is indeed a very smart lady." Another person sighed.
Um?
The third person was stunned: "As expected, Yamato Nadeko in the new era should be like this."
New age... huh
Just her
Kazuma was so embarrassed, at this time Okada Koji stepped in and said: "Let's quickly let Kiryu Supervisor demonstrate, and you can ask about other things later, Kiryu Supervisor will work here for twenty-four God."
He Ma also cleared his throat: "That's right, please give me your advice in the next 24 days. Next, I will show you the hand-to-hand combat in a complex environment. First, one enemy is many. Has anyone signed up to be a villain fighter?" ?”
A group of animation youths looked at each other, and then one of them raised his hand and asked, "Is there any shameful line to say?"
"No, you all use the methods you can think of to besiege me. Ms. Jinguji will fight with you."
As soon as they heard that Yuzao could do it, several people immediately raised their hands.
So a makeshift villain team was formed.
They surrounded He Ma, all holding mops and brooms from the cleaning equipment room on this floor.
He Ma: "Come on!"
Yuzao acted first, and Kazuma immediately performed Jack Chen's specialty of turning the table and dodging.
All the onlookers let out an "oh" sound.
Kunikida-kun, the conceptual designer, exclaimed loudly: "Is this the so-called wooden escape in ninjutsu?"
No, it's not! Don't explain blindly!
The character designer and artist Sadamoto, who was silent next to Kunikida, shook his head: "No, this should be a 'substitution technique'."
You wait for me!
He Ma was distracted for a moment, and was almost poked in the face by a mop. He dodged the mop and grabbed the hem of the coat of the person holding the mop, lifted the hem all at once, and tied a knot on the man's head.
"It's the cocooning technique!" Zhenben Yuzhi said loudly.
you are enough hello! If this continues, Jack Chen will become a ninjutsu master!
Hey, wait a minute, he is indeed a ninjutsu master in a sense...
At this time, those guys who played combatants saw Kazuma responding in this novel way, and obviously became more playful and eager to attack.
He Ma also had to toss and turn seriously, and there was no time to complain about the two people who were explaining next to him one by one.
A minute later, the four combatants who came to make up the number, one was hung on the coat rack, one was pushed headfirst into a vat of copy paper, and one was photographed on the photocopier, and the photocopier was started. Zhang Zhang spat out the audio-visual picture of his embarrassed profile, the last shirt was lifted up and knotted, and he still hasn't broken free, standing there writhing.
Only Yuzao, standing by as if nothing had happened—she had just made a head start, and then withdrew from the fighting circle.
He Ma: "Did you see that? In this kind of complex terrain, it is necessary to make good use of everything at hand to fight."
The onlookers applauded together.
The one on the coat rack clapped and said, "Well, can you get me down first before concluding your statement?"
The man in the copier bin kicked his legs in agreement.
Koji Okada: "Go and help them, today you all count as work-related injuries, go to the finance department to get a work-related injury subsidy."
Before the words finished, Anno Mingren clapped his hands: "I understand!"
Kazuma looked at Anno Akito: "What do you understand?"
"This kind of battle is an art in itself!"
Akito Anno clenched his fists: "As long as we show this cool battle with animation, most people can be convinced, just like I am now convinced by this artistic battle!
"So we should simplify the plot, or even scatter it in fragments throughout the play. The main space is used to show the cool battle! Then those who are convinced by the battle will go to study and discover the hidden secrets. The plot!"
Kazuma looked at Akino Anno—this guy seemed to be getting further and further away from the Hideaki Anno in his previous life.
EVA will not be born yet
Anno Akito bowed to Kazuma: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher, I'm going back to work."
"Ah, oh, good." He Ma nodded with a complicated expression on his face.
To be honest, it would be a bit of a pity if EVA would never be born, after all, I love this movie so much in my life.
Even though he was given such a big mouthful in the old theater version of "Sincerely For You", he still likes EVA very much.
Forget it, if this worldline ruffian won't be creating EVA anymore, then—then I will create it!
Hey, are you a little happy
Kazuma tried his best to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Koji Okada, "Sorry for messing up your second floor."
"It's okay, the degree of damage is much lower than imagined." Okada Koji waved his hand, and then said to everyone, "Okay, I've finished reading, let's go back to work. There are still 24 days until the next review meeting, we must Come up with a passable demo!"
Everyone responded unevenly and feebly: "Understood."
For a moment, Kazuma wanted to yell at these slackers: "No energy! Do you want to do animation with such a low voice?"
However, doing so may have the opposite effect. After all, most of the literature and art in this era are left-leaning, and they hate the old navy.
This group of people are all young people, basically college students who have experienced the student movement, so they probably dislike it even more.
Just as everyone started walking towards the elevator and up the stairs in twos and threes, Sadamoto Yuyuki and Kunikida pulled another young man who didn't know Ma to him.
Sadamoto spoke first: "This is our painting supervisor Tsurumaki Kazuo. He is also a part-time color designator now. He has some doubts about the color tone of his works."
As soon as Hema heard this, he knew who this was, and he looked at him a few more times.
While he was looking at it, Tsurumaki Kazuyoshi also spoke: "The result of the discussion between Kiryu-sensei and Anno before is that I don't like the overall use of gray and cold tones. I still prefer to use richer colors..."
He Ma: "Of course you can use rich colors. In fact, to highlight the contrast of 'high technology and low life', you need some bright colors to form a contrast with those dark and cold tones."
Tsurumaki Kazugang looked puzzled: "High technology should make people's lives better, how can high technology lower life?"
He Ma asked: "Now Japan's economy is also very prosperous, but it's not the same as you can see homeless people everywhere?"
Homeless is the elegant Japanese term for a homeless person.
Tsurumaki and Gang were taken aback.
He Ma said again: "I know it's hard for you to fully understand at once, but don't give me a way to let you see this contrast intuitively. Ask Okada to approve a sum of funds for you, go to Hong Kong for a business trip, and have a look. You know the Kowloon Walled City next to Kai Tak Airport. Remember, don’t enter the Walled City.”
Koji Okada looked embarrassed: "He is the main painter on our side, and he is indispensable if we want to ship at the next review meeting."
He Ma: "It's okay, just go for four or five days and go around the Kowloon Walled City. When you come back, you will know how to describe the world of cyberpunk."
Tsurumaki and Gang showed embarrassment: "Cantonese is spoken in Hong Kong, I don't know it."
Hema: I will! I can be your guide!
Before he had time to say this, Yuzao said, "Two courses are over this week, and you don't want credits?"
And the horse scratched his head.
Yuzao continued: "Also, you didn't even get a passport, right? After all, our high school is not the kind of school that goes to Hawaii on a school trip, so there is no such thing as a unified assistant to get a passport."
Hema murmured to himself, even if we go to Hawaii on our high school school trip, I can't afford the travel expenses.
At this time Okada Koji made a decision: "Since Mr. Kiryu said so, I will find a friend who can speak Cantonese to lead the way. Tsurumaki, you can go there. Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for woodcutters."
My teeth are sore with hatred next to Ma—ah, I can drink morning tea when I go to Hong Kong!
I haven't had morning tea for more than a year!
