In fact, it is not uncommon for anime creators to find a way to find references from reality when drawing human postures or movements.

In front of Qin Han's own workbench, a mirror has always been placed. Sometimes he wants to draw an expression, but when he can't get it right, he will make his own model, and paint while looking in the mirror as a reference.

"Qin Sang, do you have anything to do with coming to SHAFT today?" asked Shinfang Shoyi with bared teeth while applying an ice pack to his strained neck.

Qin Han said: "I'm here today mainly to discuss with you the art style of "Madoka Magical Girl". There are a lot of things that can't be said clearly on the phone, and they still have to be discussed in person. What do you think of the art concepts of the different spaces and witches that were sent to you before?"

In the previous life, the design of the different space and the witch of "Madoka Magical Girl" was completed by a two-person art group called "Troupe Dog Curry".

They used the artistic technique of collage to create a fantasy world view full of personality and unique style for the animation, which is very suitable for the temperament of "Madoka Magical Girl".

As for the successes, Qin Han was not prepared to change. He decided to continue using this technique to design the alien dimension of witches and battles.

But here's the problem.

Qin Han himself did not understand the collage style, and at most he could only give a framework for art design based on the influence of his previous life. And the troupe dog curry does not seem to exist in this world yet. He had searched the Internet and inquired with acquaintances in various ways, but he had not found this group.

If, after discussing with Akiyuki Shinbo, the main creators of animation, you are sure of the effect of collage as an artistic expression, then you will find someone who can replace the troupe's dog curry.

Otherwise, we will have to tear everything down and start over and find another way.

"Qin Sang, I think your idea is very good. Actually, after reading your concept design, I was inspired, and in one night, I drew all the battle storyboards for the first three episodes!"

Although Akiyuki Xinfang has an ice pack around his neck, he is still a little excited when he talks about the art setting of the witch.

"Since you, the overseer, say it's okay, then let's do it this way. Qin Han fell to the ground with a stone in his heart.

"However, as far as I know, it may be difficult to find someone who is good at collage art in the animation circle these days. Akiyuki Shinbo voiced his concerns.

"If you can't find it in the circle, then look for it outside the circle. Qin Han said.

With the relationship between Sanshiro Komiya, the vice president of Musashino Art University, he may be able to find the right talent from the three major art universities in Toei.

Decided on one more thing, thinking that the entire animation production was unfolding in an orderly manner, Qin Han also breathed a sigh of relief. Not everything went smoothly, though.

When he chatted with Akiyuki Shinbo, he learned that "Madoka Magical Girl" is making slow progress in music production, and has not found a suitable musician so far.

The reason for this situation, in the final analysis, is one reason: there is no money.

If you want to produce high-quality music, you need to hire big-name musicians, and the price is naturally high. And SHAFT just doesn't have much money.

Today, Hiroshi Wakao finally managed to get in touch with a well-known musician in the industry. In order to invite him, Hiroshi Wakao, as the president, personally went out to show his sincerity.

Qin Han and Shinfang Zhaozhi were chatting about the production of animation music, and suddenly a staff member came over to inform: "Teacher Qin Han, the supervisor of Shinfang, President Wakao is back." He wants you to go to the conference room immediately. ”

When the two of them came to the conference room, they saw Hiroshi Wakao, who was not very good-looking, sitting alone on a chair and seemed to be lost in thought.

It seems that he still hasn't been able to get the musician.

Seeing that someone was coming, Wakao Hiroshi looked up, his expression finally improved, and he couldn't help but say, "Xinfang-kun, what's wrong with you?"

Shinfang Zhaozhi stretched his neck and grinned: "A small accident, just a little accident." ”

After a while, other animation creators also came to the conference room. Seeing this, Hiroshi Wakao said, "I'm sorry, I went to see Hikaru Kono today, but the other party still refused our invitation to SHAFT. ”

Although Hiroshi Wakuo spoke in a calm tone, his heart was not calm at all.

The closed-door soup that I ate at Hikaru Kono today, Hiroshi Wakao was not only rejected, but also sneered at by the other party.

"President Wakao, do you know what other animation companies have asked me to make music for, and the price they have paid is at least twice as much as yours!"

"The price you gave is simply an insult to me!"

"Is it sincere to come to the door in person? Even if you sit down, it's useless. It is the greatest sincerity to come up with the actual benefits that make people feel excited!"

Even though the matter has passed, but when he thinks of the other party's face, Wakao Hiroshi is still very unhappy.

But no matter how upset it is, it's useless. That's because there's so much money to make SHAFT. In addition, there were many difficulties in the preparation of the production committee.

Most of the sponsors are not optimistic about this alternative magical girl animation and are unwilling to invest money in the production.

For the sake of money, Hiroshi Wakao was so worried that his eyebrows were about to fall off during this time.

He took a deep breath, put aside the troubles he had encountered recently, and said to sound supervisor Yoichi Tsuruoka and music producer Tomoyasu Morikai: "Both, what else on our list of musicians have not visited?"

Morimi Zhikang opened the notebook in his hand, looked at it for a while, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Hikaru Kono is the last suitable candidate." Since you've already met him, it means that we don't have anyone to choose someone else. ”

"That's right......" Wakao Hiroshi whispered.

"I'll make a few more calls. I've been a sound supervisor for so many years, and I've accumulated some connections. I hope those people haven't forgotten me. Yoichi Hegang said.

At this time, Qin Han suddenly spoke: "Hegang-san, Morikai-san, and President Wakao, do you know a female musician named Kajiura Yuki?"

Qin Han didn't ask about the music production of "Madoka Magical Girl" before. Because he is only responsible for the script and the character, at best he adds an art director, and is not a role that supervisors and producers need to control the overall situation. It's not a good thing to meddle around.

But now that he had been called to the meeting and talked about the subject again, he was ready to make his own comments.

In the previous life, "Madoka Magical Girl", the music production was mainly played by Yuki Kajiura.

In another world, she is also a well-known aunt in the ACG world, Ah No, she is a great god. Not only is it well known by the majority of otaku, but it is also quite active in TV commercials and the film industry.
