After a brief meeting in the conference room, Yu Kamiya called Alice Kumamoto and asked her to discuss with Director Nitta of the production department about giving the number of storyboard cuts that had not yet been allocated to Asato Kikura to try, because Asato Kikura had not yet registered as an official animation studio, so the way to cooperate with them was more inclined to the form of freelance concept artist cooperation, and only those who collected qualified original paintings from them would be paid accordingly.

Yu Kamiya had already completed all the storyboards of "5 Centimeters per Second", and the parts that were not officially put into production were more or less, and having more manpower was a beneficial thing for the animation itself. Yu Kamiya doesn't know exactly what happened to Ohno Animation Studio, they did complete the sample original art submitted by [Yuu no Kong] before, so they have the strength to provide high-quality original art for "5 Centimeters per Second".

On the other side, Asato Kikura walked out of the gate of the [Rim no Kong] animation production company, feeling that his steps were a little vain, and his heart came back from the sudden ecstasy, and everything that happened in a trance seemed to be just a dream, pinching his face, he did feel pain, and then thinking of Kamiya Yu's words just now, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Ah~! Yes! Ah~~ Great! That's great! It worked! ”

He danced on the side of the street, clenched his fists and waved his arms vigorously, and the exaggerated range of his body movements made the surrounding passers-by look at him with strange eyes, and if it weren't for the serious dress of Kikura Asato, he would have thought that he had escaped from some hospital. Kikura Asato cheered as he ignored the gaze of pedestrians, knowing that he had just won an opportunity that would change his life and change the trajectory of his life.

After getting the animation storyboard of "Five Centimeters per Second" in the production and progress department of [Yu-no-Kong] animation production company, he returned to Ohno Animation Studio, where he used to work, as soon as possible, and now Asato Kikura is in a completely different mood, and he has all the conditions to take off. As soon as he stepped into the office building, he unfortunately met his original boss Ono Matsu at the top of the stairs, and the middle-aged man with a big belly and no serious atmosphere glanced at Kikura Asato condescendingly, and said sarcastically: "You are no longer a member of our Ono Animation Studio, what is the matter with coming back this time, I don't have the idea of hiring you a second time in front of the ugly words, and your salary last month will not even give you a single yen because you broke the contract first." ”

Asato Kikura didn't care and showed a kind smile: "This time I came just to bring back the personal belongings that I accidentally left here, you want to go down, please first." ”

"I thought you were a promising newcomer." Ohnomatsu sneered and swaggered down the stairs.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Kikura Asato, who had been working here for several years, of course knew what he was going to do, and it was estimated that he would stay in the nearby pachinko room until the afternoon before returning, until Onomatsu left completely, Kikura Asato couldn't help but laugh out and laugh excitedly as if he was laughing at himself and seemed to be relieved: "What have you been doing all along." ”

His heart is extremely comfortable, walking into the door of Ohno Animation Studio, all the original artists who are busy are looking at him, they also know that Kikura Asato's answer determines where they will go in the future, either with Ohno Animation Studio has been rotting, or find a new way out, yesterday Kikura Asato's encouragement made them also eager to try, when they stepped into this industry with a dream, but after being hit by reality, they have now become a free original artist who has no hope, Year after year, I can barely make ends meet with my salary.

"Kikura, what is the answer from the overseer of Kamiya?" After a long time, one of the original artists stood up and asked nervously.

Asato Kikura sat back in his place, took out the folder in his hand full of dozens of cut storyboards of "Five Centimeters per Second", and announced with a proud smile: "This is the storyboard I got from [Yu-no-Kong], although it is only a week's amount. ”

"That is to say..." The original artists breathed in a screen, and then erupted in cheers that toppled the ceiling, and the original paintings in their hands turned into white paper fluttering in the sky.

"You're yours, Kikura!"

"Very well, I'll do it with you now! Draw as much as you ask. ”

"Great!" The enthusiastic stance of the original artists almost lifted Kikura Asato's body and threw it into the air.

Asato Kikura coughed and suppressed the scene before he said solemnly: "Now our environment is not easy, these cuts need to be completed in our own home, and then we can officially register the animation studio after [Yunoku] pays the first payment." ”

Half an hour later, the crowded office suddenly became much more spacious, all the original artists' seats and personal belongings were removed, and some half-finished original drawings were left alone on the table or turned into waste paper and thrown to the ground.

······

"Damn~ Yoshino next to him has won the lottery with great luck, I have no reason to lose."

"Is there a problem with the magnification of the machine?"

"Uh... It's... What is this!?? "In the evening, as soon as Ono Matsu, who came back from the pachinko room, stepped into the door of Ohno Animation Studio, he saw a mess in the public office, and at this point in time, all the original artists should still be working, not to mention people, all the things that belonged to the original artists were taken away, leaving only the half-finished original paintings unfinished.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ohnomatsu looked around blankly, and after a long time came back to his senses, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone, rummaged through it for a while, and found the phone number of one of the original artists.

"Hey, Mebmoto! What are you doing, you haven't come back to paint the original art, you don't want this month's bonus? ”

On the other side of the phone, the original artist replied in surprise: "It's President Ohno, I'm sorry, I'm not a member of Ohno Animation Studio anymore." ”

"What are you talking about stupid..."

"Well, that's pretty much it, don't want last month's salary, it's hundreds of thousands of yen anyway."

Ohnomatsu sat on the stool with a confused head and thought for a while, as if he had realized something, took a deep breath and asked with luck, "What about the others?" ”

"It's pretty much the same thing, and no one plans to do it with President Ohno."

Ohnomatsu roared angrily: "It's that kid from Kikura! You have to think about it, follow Mukura, who has only been unemployed in the industry for a few years, or with me, a senior with deep qualifications, you come back, I will give you a salary of 300,000 yen this month, which is not a small amount! ”

“······”

"I'm sorry."

"Toot toot toot~" The electronic tone of hanging up the phone came from the phone, and the angry Ono Song smashed the mobile phone in his hand on the spot and shouted loudly: "Damn! These visionless guys! ”

Ohno Animation Studio did not sign any formal contract with the original artist, which also means that Ohno Song has no means to restrict the whereabouts of the original artist, and the means that were originally used to squeeze the salary of the original artist have now become the fatal wound that destroys Ohno Animation Studio.
