Qin Han did not participate in the preliminary examination of recruitment, and did not know that among the people who submitted their resumes, there was the famous Anno Hideaki in his previous life.

Fortunately, Qin Han has immunity to such things as unexpected encounters with ACG celebrities in his previous life from time to time. He coughed dryly and withdrew his gaze from young Hideaki Anno.

Glancing at the new house Akiyuki next to him, two famous animation directors who should have been about the same time in their previous lives, but in this world, one has already run three, and the other is still a college student. Qin and Han had to feel amazing about the changes caused by the changes in the world line.

The chief judge of the interview, Hiroshi Wakao, Akiyuki Shinbo, Qin Han and others, according to the usual practice, asked Hideaki Anno some common questions such as academic qualifications, work experience, hobbies, career development plans, etc. Then everyone began to communicate in a low voice, and the whispering sound of Suosuo made Hideaki Anno beat the drum in his heart.

After a while, Qin Han said to him, "Mr. Anye, so be it, you go outside and wait for a while." ”

With a stomach full of doubts, Hideaki Anno returned to the aisle outside the conference room.

A group of people waiting for the interview saw that he had not left on his own like the other interviewees before, and they ran to inquire.

Faced with the flood of questions, Hideaki Anno just shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the interviewer told me to wait here." ”

The person who had spoken to him before suddenly realized: "I understand! Today's interview, I'm afraid there will be a second round." You've passed the initial exam, and those who have left, we've been eliminated. ”

Subsequent events proved that this conclusion was correct.

When all the interviewers had entered the conference room, there were 20 people who remained, including Hideaki Anno.

The men were taken to an unoccupied studio by the general affairs assistant: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have two hours to draw two paintings. The subject of the first is the human figure, and the second is free to play. These two paintings will be reviewed by Mr. Qin Han, President Wakao, Superintendent of New Houses, Chief Painting Superintendent of SHFAT, Akiyama-san and others, and those who pass will be hired as animators, and those who excel can be directly promoted to original artists. ”

It turned out that the rumored live painting exam has only now begun.

Drawing two standard drawings of an original animation in two hours is not an easy task, and the time requirements are very tight. Of course, this was also deliberately designed by Qin Han and Hiroshi Wakao.

As an artist, the quality of the work is important, but the speed of the work is also crucial, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the intense animation work.

As soon as the general affairs assistant finished speaking, the applicants found a workbench and began to draw.

In the creation of animation, living creatures (including humans, animals, robots, and other moving objects) are the most important. As for the background, you only need a still picture. When the time comes, it can be used to move the camera forward, backward, up, down, shake, and so on.

Therefore, in this painting exam, drawing characters is a compulsory question.

The second picture, which is not limited to the subject matter and is free to play, can also allow each applicant to show his or her strengths.

With the rustle of pencils rubbing against the paper, the two hours of drawing time passed quickly.

After handing in their drawings, the candidates left the studio and chatted about the exam.

"How did you do on the exam?" the man asked Hideaki Anno before, "By the way, I haven't introduced it yet." My name is Kenzo Onishi. ”

"My name is Hideaki Anno. Anno Hideaki reported his name, and then shook his head, "I'm not very good at drawing characters, although it's a magical girl, it's a good idea, but I guess the result won't be too good, and I can't just become an original artist or something, I'm afraid it's unlikely." I was satisfied to be able to enter SHAFT without any problems. ”

"Really?" Seeing Hideaki Anno shaking his head, Kenzo Onishi was overjoyed.

The position is limited, both of them are competitors, and Hideaki Anno doesn't play well, so he has a better chance of becoming an original artist.

"And what is the content of your second painting?" Kenzo Onishi continued to inquire.

Hideaki Anno said, "It's a robot. I'm kind of a sci-fi fan, I was captured by the charm of "Space Battleship Yamato", and since then I have been out of control. I've seen most of the sci-fi animations, especially those robotic animations. Even for the sci-fi special dramas produced in the early years of the United Kingdom, they have also dabbled in it. ”

For various mechanical content, including robots, Hideaki Anno is still very confident. In fact, the reason why Miyazaki invited him to Ghibli was because he saw his talent in this area, which could come in handy when making "Valley of the Wind".

Listening to Hideaki Anno's answer, Kenzo Onishi was overjoyed.

SHAFT is not sunrise, so what's the use of drawing robots? It's completely off-topic, and it doesn't show off your talent as an artist.

For his second painting, he chose the subject of animals.

Although there are many animals in animation and fantasy, there are still references based on real creatures, and there is also a lot of knowledge in the detailed expression of body structure, proportions, muscles, bones, and organs. In the animation industry, there are many concept artists who can draw characters well, but there are very few who can draw animals well.

Kenzo Onishi felt that he was stable.

He patted Hideaki Anno on the shoulder: "Although robots or something, it's not very much the theme of the SHAFT club, but you've worked hard." In the future, we may all be colleagues, so why don't we go to lunch together? ”

Hideaki Anno is not very cool with Kenzo Onishi's humble character on the surface, but in fact he is proud and arrogant in his bones, so he politely declined the other party's invitation.

"Cut, maybe you won't be admitted to SHAFT at all, what's the point of pride?" Looking at Hideaki Anno, who left on his own, Kenzo Onishi pouted.

Three days later, the results of the interview came out.

Hideaki Anno unexpectedly found that he thought he didn't do very well in the painting exam, but the result was unexpected, not only was he admitted to SHAFT, but he also became an original artist directly!

After receiving this unexpected joy, Hideaki Anno danced in ecstasy in his small rental house, and then called friends such as Okada Doujio and Sadamoto Yoshiyuki.

These people are all veterans who founded the famous animation company GASAX in their previous lives.

After informing his friends of the good news, Hideaki Anno began to prepare for his first day of work. But that same night, he received a phone call.

The phone number was very unfamiliar, and Hideaki Anno was worried that it was a scam call and was not ready to answer it, but after hesitating, he still pressed the answer button.

"Hey, is it Anno-kun? I'm Hayao Miyazaki. On the other end of the phone, a strange and familiar voice came from the other end.

During this time, one is Kavin, and the other is that the end of the year is very busy, and there is little time for code words, so the update is going to die. But it's finally relieved.,Starting tomorrow.,Resume the third watch.。
