Chapter 34: Past and Future

Nowadays, Yuu Kamiya's main development direction in the space of consciousness has shifted to editing music and rehearsing exercises for the original storyboard, and his experience in original painting is not limited to the sub-animation obtained from "Mr. Onigiri Superman", but also combines all the original artist's creative skills that can be found in the previous world to further think about the places that need to be paid attention to when drawing other animation original paintings, and the animation masterpieces of the previous world have become a good reference for him.

In the real world, his main job is to complete the correction of the original drawings and storyboards, and after work, he writes the MAYA program and records the music score of the consciousness space.

Newly involved in the real original artist industry, Kamiya is like a dragon returning to the sea, and the speed of drawing original paintings is faster than all other phenomena, and in a few days, he has mastered the key points of drawing original paintings and further improved his drawing speed.

When Aoi Morishita asked an original artist to find Yu Kamiya to solve the problem of the original drawing of "Mr. Onigiri Superman", the entire office of the original art department knew that he had taken over the remaining two-thirds of the original manuscript of the storyboard, and as the second original painting, the original painting he drew was more skilled than all the original artists, and the style of the animation "Mr. Onigiri Superman" certainly limited the development of Yuu Kamiya's strength, but it was also a real test of the basic strength of an original artist. Not to mention Uehara Ezuki and Morishita Aoi, the two original artists who vaguely knew the changes in Yuu Kamiya's strength, the entire original art department was surprised by Yuu Kamiya's performance. Especially for the original artists who also took over the original storyboard, the difficulty of the storyboard in the twelfth episode often made them stuck.

The development of events directly led to the fact that Yu Kamiya almost became a rare existence at the panda level in the original painting department within a week, not to mention those curious original artists, the original artist who took over the original manuscript of the storyboard would ask Yu Kamiya for advice when he encountered a bottleneck, and it seemed that no one had forgotten that he was only a second original artist.

On the sixth day after Yu Kamiya took over the original storyboard, he successfully completed the original storyboard he was responsible for, and with his direct or indirect help, the entire original art department also completed additional storyboard drafts.

・・・・・・

Original art department, in a private office.

"The above is all the original storyboards commissioned by Mr. Fujiwara, a total of 46 cuts." After reviewing all the original drawings of the storyboard, Aoi Morishita was ready to submit a large stack of original art files in her hand to Uehara Ezuki, completing the task that would have been difficult to complete, making the corners of her mouth smile slightly.

Uehara was grinding tea powder with a tea broom, making a cup of hot Japanese-style tea and putting it in front of Aoi Morishita, and said softly, "I've worked hard for you this time, Aoi." Dressed in an elegant white kimono, she looks so calm and elegant no matter when and where she is.

Aoi Morishita put the original storyboard on the desk and sat down on the chair, and said with a trance-like and bitter gaze: "This sentence should be said to Kamiya-kun, two-thirds of these original paintings were completed by him alone." ”

"I know that I have prepared his thank-you gift, even if it is something he has asked me for. You're also working hard this week, and you're playing no less of a role than Kamiya-kun. Uehara Aetsuki smiled warmly, during this time, Yu Kamiya and Aoi Morishita were busy, and she herself was busy outside of work for a while preparing gifts for Yu Kamiya.

Aoi Morishita was curious about what the so-called thank you gift was, and she thought about it for a while and asked another question: "After the end of "Mr. Onigiri Superman", will Kamiya-kun be promoted to an official original artist?" But even if he is a concept artist, his ability is a little wasteful. She wanted to know how far Kamiya had come now in Uehara's Eizuki.

Uehara Eizuki shook her head: "There is no suitable person who can act as the second original painting now, so this aspect will probably always be in charge of Kamiya-kun." After the anime ends, I'm going to make him your assistant.,The position is the same as yours.,With the influence of this incident, the president shouldn't object.。 ”

Deputy Superintendent of Original Painting!?

Morishita Aoi is now twenty-nine years old, and it took her eight years of struggle to climb to this position, but Yu Kamiya is just a novice who has just joined Kyony Animation for less than two years and has sat in this position.

Uehara Eizuki then said lightly: "Kamiya-kun has the potential to surpass me in terms of original painting, so this position should be the most suitable for the current Kamiya-kun." He wasn't satisfied with being a concept artist, and as a sub-master of concept artists, he would be exposed to a lot more. Her autumn eyes rippled inexplicably when she talked about Yu Kamiya, as if she had found a fun toy.

The things that the deputy superintendent of the original art needs to be responsible for are more chaotic than the superintendent of the original art, and it is more like playing the role of lubricating the gears of the original art department and other departments of the animation company.

"Speaking of these things that make me feel out of reach, I really don't know what words to use to describe people like you and Kamiya-kun, I already feel very powerless in this position now, and Kamiya-kun will be a big burden on me if he comes to help." Aoi Morishita shook her head in resignation and smiled bitterly.

Uehara Ezuki stretched out her jade hand and took off Aoi Morishita's glasses and frowned, "Aoi, these frustrating words don't look like you at all. You know that Kamiya-kun is Kamiya-kun, and you are you. ”

Aoi Morishita, who felt that her vision was blurring, lowered her eyes and smiled reluctantly: "I understand, but I see too many possibilities in Kamiya-kun, including my dream of entering this industry." ”

"You've tried hard enough."

"That's why it's frustrating. Rest assured, I'm mature enough that I understand everything Aezuki said, because I'm the only one left to talk to Aezuki, so please let me be a little coquettish now. Aoi Morishita cleaned up her decadence and said with a dignified and sunny smile.

Uehara remembered how she looked when she first came to Kyony Animation, when Aoi Morishita was still a vigorous female animator, and her panicked appearance when she made a mistake was no better than a frightened rabbit, and for this reason, she took good care of Aoi Morishita, a rookie animator, just like she treats Yu Kamiya now.

"Remember the note I left when I gave you these glasses?" Uehara folds the confiscated glasses.

"Hmm."

"I'll always be on for you." Aoi Morishita remembered, "I still keep that note in the album, because it was the support of Emi Moon at that time that made me persist until now." ”

Uehara remembered the funny scene, covered her mouth with long sleeves and laughed lightly: "As a result, you changed your short hair to work the next day, which scared me a lot at that time." ”

"Yes ~ yes, don't make a fuss! Give me back your glasses, why do you like to confiscate my glasses first every time you encounter something controversial? ”

Aoi Morishita blushed for a while, at that time she was affected by the TV series and thought about cutting her ambition on the spur of the moment, because she was praised by Uehara Eizuki at that time, she continued to keep her short hair, maybe it was because of this reason that she judged the two of them before and now.

"Aoi can't work without glasses, and if Aoi is too stubborn, then I'll keep the glasses all the time." Uehara shook the black-rimmed glasses in her hand and said quietly.

"Ah~!"
