After meeting Koichi Shinshita, Mahiro Ando prepared to leave, and then went back to consider the script.

However, at this moment, his cell phone rang.

When I took out my phone, it turned out to be Kenji Horikawa.

At this time, Ando Mahiro thought that Kenji Horikawa seemed to be also a big man in Musashino, and his status was a little higher than that of Koichi Shinshita.

After receiving the call, I learned that Kenji Horikawa wanted to invite him to dinner.

It just so happened that he was in Musashino now, so he agreed.

Mahiro Ando and Kenji Horikawa are old friends, and in fact, the future "Canaan" was also commissioned by Kenji Horikawa to Shinhiro Ando for production.

Although Mahiro Ando is not well-known in front of the public, he is actually very well-known in the industry, in short, he is like a "martial arts instructor" in the mud bomb animation industry, and his status in the mud bomb animation industry is comparable to the status of Yuan Dagang in the film industry of a large oriental country.

Kenji Horikawa didn't know that Mahiro Ando was actually in the club just now, and after hearing that the other party was nearby, he was quite happy, and immediately invited the other party to the nearest barbecue restaurant, what high-grade beef, and ordered three servings as soon as he came up.

"Ando-san, what do you think of rice shochu?" asked Kenji Horikawa.

"Uh, that's great. "Because I just took over the work of "Sword Witch", Ando Shinhiro thinks that the sister paper or something is actually very good.

Kenji Horikawa here was relieved when he heard Ando Mahiro's words.

"New anime?" Ando guessed that Kenji Horikawa probably wanted to discuss the story of "Sword Messenger Shrine Maiden".

However, he didn't know that he had joined, so it would be better to surprise him later.

Uh-huh, that's all.

"Hi. Kenji Horikawa nodded solemnly, "The animation that we pay the most attention to Musashino Animation, well, and it's an experimental animation." ”

Ahhhh

Mahiro Ando smiled, and there was an expression on his face that was indeed the case.

"This animation is an action animation, although it is a girl, but the requirements for action are very high, and our action screen will use a one-shot mode throughout the whole process. I think the only one who can control this kind of animation now is Ando-san. Kenji Horikawa said.

"I see. ”

Mahiro Ando laughed in his heart.

This situation is really interesting!

Kenji Horikawa sighed: "Although there are many powerful guys in our club, there are not many people who can control this kind of scene, and there is a foreign boy who is quite interested in this, but he also has his own work. ”

There are a lot of talented people under Musashino Animation, but it's a pity that they don't have enough people right now - although they have expanded, they need real big hands.

"Didn't you buy Kamiying? there are a lot of powerful guys over there, right?" said Mahiro Ando.

Kenji Horikawa was even more melancholy: "There was a "Blue Cat" released at the beginning of the year, which is said to have a huge influence in a large eastern country, and now it has begun to make a new movie for next year. And there's another joint venture TV animation and another animated movie over there, so I can't spare it. ”

Unlike mud bombing, most of the animations in a large eastern country can only be released after the filming is completed, and the big animation of "Blue Cat", which broadcasts thousands of episodes a day, is actually rare.

The animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" over there has now entered the most critical stage, and the painting is very intense. On the other hand, the work of "The Sound of the Sky" must also be completed quickly to catch up with the summer file, and finally, Sen Xia had a big brain before and wanted to paint Fairy Sword 2 with ink to make OP, so the techniques here also need to be studied.

All in all, Kamimi is already busy and crazy, how can you still have the heart to support Musashino Animation here?

Not to mention support, even outsourcing is a problem. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Mori Xia not only acquired Kamiying but also some other animation companies in the past, Musashino would have had to outsource it to outsiders.

Ordinary employees don't feel much about it, but for the management and the president, it's a deadly job.

As soon as Kenji Horikawa thought of these things, the expression on his face suddenly became even worse.

"Originally, the situation was not so urgent, but at the end of last month, Sony launched an offensive against the Order of the Phoenix, and we on Musashino's side also had to cooperate with the strategy there, so we had to complete it. So far, we've only done a fifteen-second PV, but we're running out of energy now. ”

Huh?!

Even PV is there?!

Koichi Shinshita, you haven't told me about this before!

Mahiro Ando really wants to check it out.

"Alas, the bigger the club, the more manpower I feel. Kenji Horikawa sighed and took a sip of water - he had to go back to work overtime later, and he was not very good at drinking.

"If you say this, I'm afraid that other animation clubs are not going to kill you - everyone is very envious of Musashino!"

Mahiro Ando: That's not lying.

A willful club that can throw money into animation.,This is really something that others can't envy.。 What's more, their current size can already be described as "huge".

You must know that many animation clubs in the mud bombardment, even small workshops with less than ten people, and "big enterprises" with hundreds of people, properly crushed those small clubs.

In this world line, if one day an egg-sore star comes over and kidnaps all the people of Musashino Animation, the level of Musashi Animation will decline by at least five to ten years.

This is no joke.

Kenji Horikawa knows about his family's affairs: "But the pressure is also very high. Although there are two animated films on the side of Kamimi, we have no new animated film plans at the head office, only a new work in collaboration with the director of Satoshi Kon. Now we are also under a lot of pressure. ”

"Hi, I see. Mahiro Ando nodded.

Musashino Animation is not bad for money, so they are now desperately burning money just to stabilize their foundation.

Once the foundation is solid, things will be much easier to do after that.

"Can you tell me about your new work?" asked Mahiro Ando.

"Yes, but ...... Please also sign this non-disclosure agreement first. ”

- I've signed it before.

Mahiro Ando chuckled, then signed his name on the non-disclosure agreement.

I don't know how Kenji Horikawa will react when he sees that he has joined the production team.

After signing this confidentiality agreement, Kenji Horikawa also signed his name, then stamped it, and the process was completed.

Then, he said, "This work is an unprecedented experimental animation, and it will be broadcast in a completely different format than before." ”

Mmmmmmmm

"On top of that, we've invested heavily in it, and we've even reached a series of partnership agreements with Yamaha. ”

- Oh, I haven't heard of that!

After saying this, Kenji Horikawa realized that he didn't seem to say what the work was, so he quickly added: "Oh, by the way, the name of this work is-"

Just waiting for you!

When Mahiro Ando heard this, he hurriedly answered in the back:

"The Sword Makes the Witch". ”

"Black Rock Shooter. ”

“......”

“......”

The two of them stared at each other.

The scene was very awkward at one point.

Mahiro Ando was a little cramped.

It's embarrassing, what did I just say!

Also, what is a Black Rock Shooter!

"Smack!" Kenji Horikawa's hand suddenly slapped on the table.

He gritted his teeth: "Really, you calculate me!"

The name "Sword Envoy Witch" is not something that ordinary people can know casually.

In addition, Mahiro Ando suddenly ran to Musashino's side, Kenji Horikawa thought about it for a while, and then understood the cause and effect.

"Uh...... That one...... Actually, Mashita-san had already invited me to join the production team before. Well, the sword makes the shrine maiden that. ”

"Sure enough, it's him......" Kenji Horikawa shook his head, and then he thought of something and quickly asked, "You joined?"

"Hi. His statement is similar to what you just said, so I misunderstood, sorry. Actually, I just wanted to surprise you. "Mahiro Ando feels so embarrassed now that he doesn't even have the mood to eat barbecue.

Thinking so, he quickly ate a piece of roast meat and took a sip of cold beer.

"Ah...... Obviously our side is more important!" he sighed.

"What is this "Black Rock Shooter"?" Ando asked in order to alleviate the embarrassment.

"Ah, it's a battle drama.,It's about the heroine's 'Black Rock Shooter' battle drama.。 However, this anime is different from the others, and it will be broadcast on the Internet. Kenji Horikawa said.

"I see, I've never seen this before!"

Mahiro Ando nodded-no wonder Kenji Horikawa just said that this work is unprecedented, because there are really no manufacturers who can do this kind of thing.

But Musashino Animation has opened three action dramas at the same time, is there really no problem?

According to Mahiro Ando, after the rebellious Lelouch, the second season of the magical girl Naye is also going on, and it is also an action drama.

Of course, Mahiro Ando also knows that Musashino's size today can be seen as a superposition of several traditional animation clubs, so this number is actually not large, but when put together, it is a little scary.

"Yes, because of the relationship that will be announced later, the manpower heap over there can be regarded as too much, but in the subsequent feature film production, it is absolutely impossible to do this. ”

You're going to say that, but I can't help it......

If it was before, Ando Mahiro would still be able to continue to say that he could come - after all, the relationship between Ando Mahiro and Kenji Horikawa is still good.

But the problem is, the contract ...... It's already signed.

So at this time, he can't help it.

I can't help it, I can't care about it.

"Black Rock Shooter" was originally going to ask Monteum to help, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and "Sword Art Online" was about to be released recently, so this great god was cooperating with the production there recently, and there was no extra time at all.

However, the problem is that because of the earlier scheduled broadcast time, "Black Rock Shooter" can't catch up with the other party's schedule at all, and when the other party frees up his hand, the daylily is cold - unless the ticket is bounced.

But the problem now is that money and everything are easy to say, but only bounce tickets are not allowed.

It's embarrassing for him to meow.

If there is time to grind, Kenji Horikawa feels that he can still make good things on his side, but since he can't, he can only ask for foreign help.

"Can you tell us about the Black Rock Shooter?" asked Mahiro Ando again, "Masaka-san over there also said that he wants to be a benchmark in the industry?"

"Hi. But the perception is different. It's a real line, and Black Rock Shooter is a fantasy ...... Hawkers,To be more precise.,It's a gorgeous work.,This will be the most gorgeous fighting system in our works.。 ”

To put it simply, "Black Rock Shooter" is to take the "light pollution route" of computer photography techniques.

This kind of route doesn't even require much technique to make the picture cool - this is where Kenji Horikawa's confidence lies.

Of course, that's a prerequisite for time.

And who doesn't want their work to be better?

"The worldview of the Black Rock Shooter is more stream-of-consciousness, and the story itself is dominated by the Black Rock Shooter, but this itself is a battle in the human heart, because it is the heart of a girl, so the picture will be more gorgeous. ”

"Oh oh, oh, a girl's heart!"

That feels pretty good, too!

Contrary to the realistic genre of "The Sword Witch", this style of starting from the girl's heart seems to be good.

And this kind of telling about the battle in the inner world and showing it concretely seems to be very attractive!

"Hey, this was designed by Mr. Xia Sen himself. This script is very good. Kenji Horikawa agreed, "Moreover, our work also has the addition of Yamaha, and it is unambiguous in the music and soundtrack. ”

It's getting more and more interesting.

Mahiro Ando also became interested in this project.

And at this moment, Kenji Horikawa's eyes rolled: "By the way, Ando-san, "Sword Messenger Witch" is still in the preparation stage, and I deliberately will not start working on it for about a month, but our side is about to enter production, so you can come and help us during this time!"

"Huh?"

And this kind of operation?

"Hey, hey, please come and help! We're missing a strong man like you right now!" Kenji Horikawa hurriedly continued.

"I'm glad...... "Mahiro Ando," he said, "but please excuse me." The stylistic differences between the two works are so great that I really can't help it. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry, but there's really no way around that. Mahiro Ando shook his head, "If the difference is not big, I still have ideas on how to adjust it, but the difference is too big, and my creation itself will be disturbed." ”

Kenji Horikawa's face collapsed at once.

Probably a little reluctant, Mahiro Ando had no choice but to continue: "However, I can introduce another person, Yutaka Nakamura, you know?"

"That Yutaka Nakamura?"

"Hey, how about having him come over?"

......

Today's two-in-one.

The author's current work is actually similar to the design of the worldview of "Boundless" in the work, and he will have to pick up 2333~
