The clock ticked forward slightly.

When Gu Xue received the attention ceremony in the YUKI studio.

At a certain hotel, Lyons ended the remote video conference and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally.

The cool animation in the imagination is confirmed!

Although the subject matter is a little off......

But that's enough, just listening to it makes it cool!

Thinking about the plan that has been decided, Lyons is in a mood.

"It's a complete trip."

John, who was sitting on the bed, saw that Lyons was done, handed him a bottle of beer, and sighed.

Lyons turned around, took his beer, and was about to answer, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of John's pants......

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Such a macho man with a height of one meter nine is wearing big pants printed with the head of a beautiful girl...... At the same time, I poured beer in that ton and ton, how to see how to violate the harmony......

But...... It's a good talk.

Lyons looked away from John's crotch and took a sip of the beer that he thought was the symbol of victory.

"Let's ...... next"

Putting down his beer, Lyons was about to confirm the itinerary with his subordinate and friend.

“COOL~~~~~~”

John, who was sitting across from him, seemed to have a heart in his mind, and just interrupted him, "Lyons, look at this, handsome. ”

John flipped his phone over and showed Lyons the picture on his phone screen - the Black Rock Shooter.

"Haven't you seen enough?" Lyons glanced at it, "I've seen so much at the WF show last week, and this is a figure in the project, so it may not be as good as the drawing." ”

"I know, but this figure doesn't seem to be the same as the ones we see, and this one is so popular that I can see posts discussing it on most forums I go to."

"Particularly popular? Animated characters? ”

"No, the original character...... Shet, this language is too difficult, what kind of word is this, it's just a setting, should it be written so complicated. ”

John lowered his head and held his mobile phone, and he had already touched the official website of the small company, but although he knew some of the languages of Hua Yaguo, it was very sparse, and he could barely understand what everyone was discussing when he went to the forum with the pictures, but to understand the character setting full of the atmosphere of the middle two, it was obviously not enough.

"Original characters, why is it popular?" Lyons was a little curious.

"Seems to be because the character's designer ......," John replied nonchalantly, trying to figure out what was written in the setting.

"Who is the designer?"

"Who? Let me see...... It's called Gu Xue. ”

"Oh, Gu Xue."

"Well, Gu Xue."

“……”

“……”

The two of them suddenly fell silent together.

After a long moment, the two slowly glanced at each other.

"We ...... Do you seem to have forgotten something? Lyons asked.

John replied with a wry smile: "Yes, we forgot about Gu Xue......"

Last week.

The two of them met Gu Xue at the WF exhibition and wanted to chat, but Gu Xue was running away at the time, and they didn't catch up......

Then, in the middle, an animation production company called them contacted them and told them that there was a project within the company, and they were very confident that they would join someone and so on, and they would cooperate with another well-known animation production company in order to ensure quality...... In short, it means that we have everything, and we are short of money, do you want to take a look?

Lyons...... Of course, they wanted to take a look, so they gave up the idea of looking for Gu Xue, and planned to find Gu Xue's company later.

But this time, they forgot about Gu Xue.

Mainly to go, in less than an hour, Lyons was aroused by the other party, and then carefully looked at the plan book, and he was moved.

Underwater creatures, giant monsters, giant boys with abilities, defend the city, and save the world.

Although the image of Lyons could not be used without Ultraman's copyright, which made the nostalgic Lyons a little regretful, the existing elements and the description of the relevant personnel in the conference room at that time were enough to satisfy Lyons.

Plus...... The main creative lineup of this project is very luxurious.

Although Lyons doesn't know many local supervisors, scripts, and original cases, he seems to be very powerful through the introduction of people, and although Lyons doesn't know the script, he still knows the superintendent, and even if he doesn't know it, he can check it.

And the overseer in charge of the project, Lyons happened to know, or he could find out.

The Overseer...... His name is Kei Narita.

There is information on the Internet, and there are a lot of well-known works related to it.

It's really famous.

In short, after learning about it in the past, Lyons decided to cast coins for the project, and for the next week, he and John were busy with this matter, and they forgot about Gu Xue.

Now that the dust has settled, they remember again......

"Originally, I wanted to ask Gu Xue if she had any good plans...... Didn't she say she had a cool idea last time? Now it seems that it was missed. John put down his phone, a little regretful.

"Uh......" Lyons silently took a sip of beer, "Actually, from a personal emotional point of view, I really hope to cooperate with her, and I also hope to see works like "Little Witch Academy" again, I really like it, it can remind me of my childhood. But from the point of view of our home streamer, she ...... Actually, it's not very suitable. ”

John smiled and said, "What, sexist? Be careful that I report you, I dare to promise, I just need to record what you say, and then add oil and vinegar to describe it, and then let Gu Xue complain, and promise to let you get out of the house immediately, and then I will sit in your place......"

“……”

Lyons didn't speak, just slowly raised his middle finger at him in a gesture of friendship.

"Seriously, Gu Xue is very powerful, what is the name of this season...... isn't "My Youth Love Story Really Problematic" very popular? It's not to my taste, though. ”

Lyons took the last sip of beer: "You don't even say it's to your taste, you still don't understand?" She does popular local themes, that kind of campus animation, we can't understand ......"

“…… Unless there is another "Little Witch Academy". ”

"She said she wouldn't do it."

"She said at the time that her studio was immature, and now it should be mature, and we invest, she has no worries, and there may be a turnaround."

"This time it's just a test of the waters, the amount is limited, and the budget required for the project is not small, it's almost there." Lyons played with the empty beer bottle and smiled, "Others say that we scatter coins, but you really think we are scattering coins?" Why don't you convince the other masters in the marketing department for me? Shall I really sprinkle coins? ”

"Uh...... Never mind. John shut up.

This...... It was useless for him to betray the black hole behind him.

Lyons' words suddenly changed: "But...... That being said, we can go and visit, and if we don't know it, we will be able to see the new "Little Witch Academy", I feel that the kind of animation that Gu Xue does shouldn't have a high budget, so we can try it. ”

John: "......"

"Yuki Studio...... Any idea how to get there? ”

John thought for a moment: "...... Knowing is knowing, but the two of us...... By the way, the last time I met Megumi Miyamoto, the executive director of the publishing house, she seems to be very familiar with Gu Xue, and she originally said that she wanted to talk to her about the comic adaptation, and we can just meet with her, and then ask her to lead the way. ”

“……”

……

YUKI Studios.

Inside the office.

After hanging up Miyamoto's phone, Gu Rou made a fuss for a while and left.

Then, almost an hour passed.

Gu Xue met Megumi Miyamoto and the two legendary Netflix business representatives......

A moment when I saw John and Lyons.

Gu Xue was still quite surprised, she really didn't expect it to be them.

And John and Lyons were not surprised when they saw Gu Xue, but they were suddenly not so 'bold', their eyes were uncontrollable, and they desperately aimed at Gu Xue's desktop, and showed a longing and amazing expression......

Because their expressions were too exaggerated, Gu Xue was a little dazed, if she didn't know that they were looking at the original paintings on the desktop, Gu Xue would have thought that they were table fetish......

The three of them plus Megumi Miyamoto, who made up the numbers, chatted a little in the office.

Because there is no chair, one person sits and three people stand, the scene is quite funny......

Gu Xue regretted it a little.

The decision not to put a chair in his office in order to prevent Eii Sato from getting caught in the fish feels stupid and hard to explain......

But her thoughts quickly vanished.

Because Lyons was the first to talk about the new project......

……

Lyons was not so eager, but when he saw Gu Xue talking and brushing the process of painting the original painting...... He couldn't help it, and mentioned the plan with anticipation.

He said this, in fact, he was hinting at the sequel to "Little Witch Academy".

He thought that Gu Xue would understand, and then he would hesitate for a while and give himself an answer.

But...... The script didn't go the way he wanted it to.

Faced with his hints.

Faced with, 'Do you have any plans for your studio to continue doing original animation?' 'That's the question.

Gu Xue happily ...... from the drawer I took out two proposals.

Very thick kind.

THE NAMES ARE "ATTACK ON TITAN" AND "FATEZERO" RESPECTIVELY......

John and Lyons glanced at the proposal.

looked at each other, confused.

That's not what you mean......

But, sure enough, I'm still curious.

They looked at each other...... Then, I picked up a proposal on the table and started reading it.

The two of them read the same plan book, the subject matter is different, the story is different, and everything is different.

But when the two watched it, their expressions were the same......

Time passes slowly.

Just when Gu Xue was waiting impatiently and wanted to take the opportunity to check the original painting.

John and Lyons finally looked up.

The moment they looked up, they looked at each other again.

They all saw surprise and a hint of regret in each other's eyes.

This...... It's not like Gu Xue's style.

I knew I would have talked to her first.

That's probably how it feels.

As for why they feel the same way when they look at different projects......

"Have you finished reading it? What do you think? ”

Gu Xue found that the two of them were looking at her, so she put down her pencil and raised her head.

“……”

Lyons was silent for a moment, thought about it, and sighed.

He closed the plan.

"I'm sorry, Gu Xue."
