Chapter 9 The original painting supervises the moon of Uehara

Yu Kamiya pushed open the iron door of the original art department on the fifth floor, and what greeted him was a large and chaotic office, giving people the first impression that it was a warehouse for documents rather than an office space, and thick original art documents were piled up throughout the room, even if the paper was spread on the ground, no one sorted it out, resulting in a suffocating crampedness in the obviously spacious and bright office.

Stepping over the scrapped sketches of the original drawings on the ground, Yu Kamiya gradually walked down the aisle to the depths of the office, along the way, in addition to the original artists' desks with different styles and dresses, he also saw scenes that were difficult to see in the previous world, the pillows brought by the original artists were spread under the drawing table, and then the whole body lay down under the drawing table and fell asleep, and the slight footsteps made by Kamiya Yu as he passed by did not disturb them in the slightest.

This is the so-called social animal, and even the sleeping time is in the company.

Yu Kamiya shook his head, and with a light step, he carefully stepped over his thighs sticking out from under the table, and went straight to the end of the hallway of the large office, where a dilapidated wooden door was hidden in the deepest part of the hallway.

"Tuk Tuk..."

"Please come in." The quiet, light and clear voice came from the independent office, different from the crisp and cold voice of the Kamiya Dome, if the sound of the Kamiya Dome is like a trickle of snow left from the mountains in the spring, this female voice with a unique charm is a quiet lake, and every word has an unquestionable sense of stability.

"Excuse me."

Kamiya Dome pushed open the wooden door of the independent office, and the first thing he saw was the original art supervisor of the original art department, who was also his direct boss, Uehara Eizuki.

Dressed in an elegant and chic black kimono, only the sleeves and wide belt are embroidered with gorgeous butterfly and fireworks patterns, and the design of the kimono waist highlights the undulations of her delicate body, but also adds a bit of exquisite classical atmosphere.

To be honest, the impression of the Japanese kimono on Yu Kamiya has never been very good, because this kind of clothing with the unique cultural atmosphere of Japan is too fancy and complicated, and most women will only look bloated when they wear it.

However, if the average Japanese woman wears a kimono like the trunk of a tree, then Uehara Eizuki is a plum tree in the winter snow, with twists and turns, and a pleasant and beautiful fragrance of the cold plum covered with snow.

Uehara Erizuki is the first Japanese woman to break his perception of kimono, but it is difficult to say that Yuu Kamiya can no longer see that she will wear other clothes, and all the calmness and classical sophistication she has are only expressed vividly in kimonos.

Solemn and exquisite, quiet and elegant, beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside, discarding all the dregs in Japanese culture, taking its essence to outline this picturesque woman one by one, this is Uehara Emuetsuki.

She is beautiful, and you can't find a single flaw from any angle, and her straight black hair has the hairstyle that ancient Japanese aristocrats used - Hime's hairstyle, and it is black and straight, soft and smooth, like a touch of shiny thick ink stained with water.

She is exquisite, with a classical sophistication of Japanese culture. This is Yuu Kamiya's first impression of Uehara Eizuki.

Uehara Ezuki sat in the office, holding a Japanese teacup and taking a sip of tea, noticing that after Kamiya Yu came in, Furui Wubo's black eyes were slightly relieved: "Kamiya-kun, how is your body?" ”

"Good morning, Uehara-senpai." Yu Kamiya came to the desk and smiled, "It's just a general fever, it's not a big deal for a young man like me." "It needs to be mentioned that Uehara Emueki's age has always been one of the three unsolved mysteries of Kyoni Animation, you must know that her appearance of less than twenty years old has been maintained since ten years ago, so in addition to the veteran figures in the company who know her age, even Yu Kamiya doesn't know the specific number.

As for why Yu Kamiya knew about such a thing? Now there is a group photo of Uehara on the office of the original painting department ten years ago, and the group photo of Uehara Eizuki has not changed even the slightest bit from today.

Uehara Ezuki looked at Kamiya Yu with a calm look and said lightly: "That's good, of course I'm very happy that Kamiya-kun can come back to work, but be careful not to force your body too much." ”

"My predecessors have worked so hard, and if I'm lazy, I'll be left far behind." Yu Kamiya said humbly, and the awe that Yuu Kamiya had left in his bones before made him subconsciously adopt a respectful attitude. Uehara is one of the pillars of Kyoni Animation, and her deep knowledge of concept art and unique stylistic skills have made her one of the most famous masters in the field of Gothic.

Yes, this woman with the charm of Eastern Japan is best at portraying Western Gothic style, whether it is architecture or gorgeous Gothic dresses and baroque clothes. The company that should have collapsed five years ago has survived because of her Gothic work "Violet Blooming Garden", which is probably one of the few pure love masterpieces in the world.

But she must have not been exposed to Gothic works in animation production for several years, because the weakening of Kuni Animation has made it difficult for the company to receive any good animation commissions, and now this sub-oriented "Mr. Fantuan Superman" is the most popular work that Kyony Animation has received in recent years.

Uehara Ezuki smiled and didn't speak, rolled up her sleeves and took a small stack of pale yellow original paintings from the cabinet, held them with both hands and handed them to Kamiya Yu: "This is a revised manuscript that I haven't had time to deal with during this time, and the details that need to be paid attention to have been marked." ”

Yu Kamiya took the revised manuscript with both hands, and after reading it a few times, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask in surprise: "Senior Uehara, these are the revised drafts of the eighth episode of "Mr. Onigiri Superman"? I remember that the eighth episode should have been completed last week. ”

Uehara Ezuki still took a sip of tea calmly: "The superintendent is not very satisfied with the 346 to 480 cuts of the eighth episode, so he plans to remake this part of the cut." "Cut means shot in animation terminology, and there are usually about 300 cuts per episode, and each cut has about 5 storyboards. The salary of the original artist is also calculated according to the number of cuts completed, and the salary fluctuates from 1,000 yen to 3,000 yen per cut. The fluctuating factor is related to the strength and popularity of the original artist himself, and the salary will also be increased according to the complexity of the original art per cut and exceeding the upper limit of the number of storyboards.

"Didn't Uehara's predecessors stop the supervision, the construction period is already so tight, and if it continues to delay like this, it is a question of whether it can be completed within the specified time." Kamiya Yu sighed helplessly.

Uehara Eizuki glanced at Yu Kamiya: "Mr. Yamaguchi has not changed the mind of the overseer, and my persuasion will not have any effect." The Mr. Yamaguchi she was talking about was the producer of the anime and theoretically had more power than supervision.

"If Uehara's senior had clearly objected, the superintendent's opinion would probably not have persisted, and it is precisely because of you that he will be confident that the original painting will be completed within the estimated time." Yu Kamiya complained dissatisfiedly.

"Huh." Uehara covered her lips with her long sleeves and chuckled: "That's right, but isn't it funny." ”

"Uehara's seniors support the overseer's revision?" Kamiya asked hesitantly.

Uehara Aetsuki looked at Kamiya Yu with his head slightly sideways, and his pale cherry lips outlined a shallow arc: "After getting sick, Kamiya-kun has changed a lot." The opinion of the supervisor is not bad, and that level of compromise will be a big improvement for the whole anime. ”

――Is it because you've really changed a lot, or because you're delicate?

Kamiya Yu was stunned for a moment, and after taking a long breath, he raised the revised manuscript in his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't it often said that there must be changes after a serious illness, and the seniors of Uehara support the decision of the superintendent, so naturally I will not have any complaints." It's an amazing amount of work, and it's not convenient for me to continue to bother Uehara's seniors now. ”

"Wait." Uehara Ezuki stopped Yu Kamiya, who was about to leave: "Kamiya-kun, please stretch out your right hand." ”

Kamiya Yu turned around and stretched out his right hand in confusion, and saw Uehara Ezuki pull out a lollipop from the drawer and put it in the palm of his hand.

"Gifts."

Yu Kamiya smiled inwardly, remembering that Uehara Emi still has the habit of giving other people's lollipops, whether it is to encourage others or reward, she is used to giving others a lollipop, and Kamiya Yu has received several before. He didn't want to eat it, so he kept it in the treasure box at home. As for Uehara Aetsuki herself, Yu Kamiya has never seen her eat a lollipop, and she can't imagine that kind of picture.

"This time it's strawberry milk, thank you Uehara senior." Yu Kamiya exited the office with a smile, unicing the icing and throwing the lollipop into his mouth, reviewing the revised manuscript in his hand as he walked.

"Work, work, hopefully a third can be completed before six o'clock in the evening, then the rest can also be completed within the specified time."
