Really.

Staying up late makes people smarter.

Gu Xue obviously looked preoccupied last night.

But after a good night's sleep, the next day I was back in full energy.

She also had to be full of energy, because a lot of things were still waiting for her to deal with.

She can choose to turn a blind eye to things on the Internet, ignore them, and not look at her phone.

But she can't do this on the production of "Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade", and she almost needs to make decisions on the production, big and small, after all, she is the boss of the studio and the supervisor of the work.

Now Gu Xue feels like the total X in Godzilla.

Hiroshi Misawa came over and asked her, "What should I do about this?" "What should I do then?" When she "please decide", she will subconsciously reply: Eh, do you have to decide now......

It's annoying, but you have to make a decision.

In addition to this, she also has to draw a thank you map for part of the crowdfunding.

Those who want to join the YUKI studio on the Internet also sent their works, and the studio received dozens of expedited shipments the next day. As Gu Xue expected, sure enough, some people made trouble and sent some strange things, such as love letters, photos of herself, etc......

Gu Xue also has to screen out the works of people who really want to join the studio.

She's busy.

And busy, specializing in all kinds of cranky thoughts.

Of course, Gu Xue's current focus is still on the production of the theatrical version of "Little Witch Academy".

YUKI studio, in the conference room.

There's an art meeting going on.

The participants are a few artists who have jumped over and color designations, plus a Hiroshi Misawa.

Animation, animation.

Movement and drawing are the focus.

Although the original painting link responsible for the moving part is the most important, the animation cannot only have characters, and whether the background of the whole work is coordinated is also a very important factor in a work. Especially for a work like "Little Witch Academy", which is not too Japanese, Gu Xue must accurately convey her intentions to Dong Runyi, who is the art director, which really tests her control of the overall style of the work.

The same goes for color.

In fact, in terms of background, Gu Xue still has a way, because she is really familiar with the finished product, and there is no such thing as relying solely on imagination, which is also one of her advantages as an earthling.

But the color really touched Gu Xue's blind spot in knowledge.

Of course, Gu Xue, who is at the base point, knows.

For example, after Yake and his friends quarrel, it is night, and the color effect of the sunset afterglow will be very good, and it will feel a little lonely, which is just right for Yako's state of mind. At the same time, blending the soft afterglow of a sunset with the cold, dark colors of the city can give the impression that something bad is about to happen.

In short, it's about using the right colors to convey the mood of the shot and foreshadow what's about to happen.

In the same way, when Lottie stays alone in the dormitory, the orange afterglow that does not feel cold can express her warm mood.

At night, the town streets are lively and lively, and greenish light is used, and the color change of the same scene can also be a good way to show the sudden change in atmosphere. For example, the black tones of the giant's appearance can express horror and uneasiness, and the golden tones of Yako and his classmates when they officially appear on the street on a broomstick can express a sense of joy.

Gu Xue thought about these things very clearly and remembered them very clearly.

She even remembers what kind of colors she needed for the finished product, but it was a little difficult for her to explain it in words.

"It's the color of the sunset, a little lonely, and it blends with the cold and dark tones of the city, giving people a bad feeling." "That's the case.

People who have never been in contact with art at all may think that you are finding faults, and then reply to you, "Do you want to have some colorful black?" ”

It's like saying to the voice actor, "The feeling of having more troublesome voices and more giant RU".,It's extremely subjective.,It's troublesome to explain in words.。

Fortunately.

The people who jumped to YUKI Studio are all talents, and they are used to receiving such instructions, plus Gu Xue is not imaginary, she has specific desired effects and requirements, so it is not a big problem.

The art conference went on for a long time.

It's finally over.

But Gu Xue can't be the shopkeeper yet, and there should be another meeting in the future to ensure that the art part will not deviate from her vision.

The position of superintendent is really busy, in theory.

Select the main staff members, select voice actors, create music/BGM, series composition, script creation for each episode, storyboarding, layout, concept art, color design, background, post-production, editing, ......

These must be responsible and tracked, and control the overall direction of the work.

This is also the first time Gu Xue has served as a supervisor, obviously it is not a TV animation, so there is no need to worry about the composition of the series, each episode and other issues, but the reason why Misawa Hiroshi is still the deputy supervisor is that he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of some aspects.

After all, a person's energy is limited, and she is not only a supervisor, but also the owner of YUKI Studio, and the establishment of the position of deputy supervisor is conducive to the growth of Hiroshi Mizawa.

The next thing Gu Xue wants to attend is a painting meeting.

That's right.

"Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade" has officially started production, thanks to the blessing of the online turmoil, the amount of crowdfunding has risen a lot, thinking that the animation will be produced anyway, Gu Xue started the production directly without the confirmation of the investors.

And there are more people attending painting conferences than art conferences.

The general job is to score the card, and also explain the performance requirements and intentions to the original painting.

In addition, Gu Xue also announced a decision, which is mainly for the original paintings of the three newcomers who have participated in the animation future project.

"In the future, I will only inspect your grassland (Ichihara), and the inspection and confirmation of the final product will be assisted by Yoneyama and Horiuchi, two painting supervisors."

"Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade" is different from the future version of the animation, and the increase in duration also means an increase in the number of cards, this time the theater version, more than 700 cards, nearly 800 cards.

And Gu Xue is not only a supervisor or a painting supervisor, there will definitely be a situation where Gu Xue can't come, let Gu Xue be fully responsible, you still kill her 8.

In addition, Gu Xue will also let the deputy superintendent Misawa Hiroshi be responsible for the explanation of part of the number of cards, and she only needs to explain the performance intentions and requirements to him alone, which can also help her save a lot of time.

The painting meeting lasted until the early hours of the morning, and it didn't finish, because she was afraid that everyone wouldn't be able to catch the tram, so Gu Xue asked everyone to go back first and continue tomorrow.

The people from YUKI Studio left the building one after another, and Gu Xue returned to the office, rubbing her swollen temples with a tired face.

Chisa Mihara, who hadn't gone back yet, came next, knocked lightly on the door, and walked in.

Then standing behind Gu Xue, he took Gu Xue's hand and helped her rub her temples.

"Let's go back and rest early." Chisa Mihara's voice was soft, a little guilty.

Gu Xue nodded, "Well, you too, I'll sit for a while and go back, is there anything else I need to deal with tomorrow?" I'm referring to the YUKI studio side. ”

"The person in charge of the toy manufacturer who wants to invest in animation production wants to meet you tomorrow......

"Okay." Gu Xue didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

Chisa Mihara: "......"

As if sensing Miss Mihara's mood, Gu Xue leaned back in the chair, tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Mihara, you don't have to feel guilty, I was originally the actual person in charge of this studio, and I couldn't bear to let you take on a lot of things that you shouldn't bear, these are what I should do." ”

"I could have done more."

"As long as you don't sit on my lap, I'm satisfied......"

Gu Xue stretched and whispered a joke.

Mihara Qiansha stiffened as she rubbed Gu Xue's temples, and her cheeks bulged slightly.

Then......

"Ah...... Chisa Mihara, why are you still playing with the forehead, and the future plans for the animation have passed! ”

Gu Xue waved her arms and shrank back in her chair.

Chisa Mihara is not giving up.

Gu Xue resisted.

The two of them began to fight.

A touching smile also resurfaced on Gu Xue's face.

Fatigue waned.
