Ryuichi Yano took a deep breath while rubbing his eyebrows before sighing.

Now it feels like a piece of his heart is missing, and even breathing makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He is the chief art supervisor of the animation production team of "Winner is Justice", but he also takes on the position of art supervisor. In other words, he is in charge of the production team to revise the original painting and make the painting style of the whole work consistent - after all, there are many original artists in a work, although they say that they will try their best to copy the original painting style of Tsukasa Higashino, but after all, it is still drawn by different people, and the painting style and line habits will definitely be slightly different, and the job of the painting supervisor is to trim these differences to make the work consistent.

It's a lot of work, but it can't be helped.

Because Tokyo PW Animation Productions, to which Ryuichi Yano belongs, is a small workshop compared to Tokyo Animation Productions, it is often the case that he wears multiple hats - as if the chief supervisor of "Winner is Justice" is their president Yuto Okan.

PW is not a big company, but the things it produces are basically high-quality products, even if it is well-known in the animation industry, and the atmosphere in the club is also very good, almost everyone loves animation production, and it is a small company that specializes in producing animation products.

To put it in a cliché, this is a company that generates electricity with love.

In the Japanese animation industry in 2004, capital has not yet poured in as large as the light animation production in the previous life, and there are actually a lot of phenomena of generating electricity with love, and there are actually a lot of employees of animation production companies who died suddenly in the industry.

And this time I took over "Winner is Justice", which is also because PW wants to use the name of the original author Tsukasa Higashino to completely start the reputation of their small workshop within the industry.

Because that's the original manga of Tsukasa Higashino!

To put it mildly.

The staff at the entire PW animation production company are particularly fond of Tsukasa Higashino's manga, because Tsukasa Higashino only produces high-quality manga and never cuts corners - which gives them a great sense of recognition.

Therefore, at the moment when the animated news of "Winner is Justice" was released, countless production companies approached Urashima Publishing House, all wanting to gnaw on this piece of fat.

PW Animation Productions has taken out at least seven or eight of the previous animation production companies in an effort to kick them into the ground, and has promised investors and Urashima Publishing that they will produce results by October this year... At that time, I also signed and stamped, and I almost didn't draw a charge.

After successfully winning "Winner is Justice", PW Animation Production Company temporarily refused other animation productions and devoted itself wholeheartedly to the production of "Winner is Justice" -

Everyone is trying to make a high-quality product.

After more than two months of hard work, I finally made a prototype that can be used to make people look good, and everyone is excited, this is the first animated work of Tsukasa Higashino, a national best-selling manga artist ("Midnight Bell" is an animated film), and then work hard to make an animation masterpiece will be born in their hands...

If it can really be a big hit, there will be no pressure to take over similar animation production in the future, and the reputation can be regained, and even the members of the production team can be polished with them, and an entry can be added to the resume: 'I once participated in the production of Mr. Higashino's "Winner is Justice"".

This is like participating in the animation production of "One Piece" and "Naruto" in the previous life, which is equivalent to gilding in the industry.

All the staff involved in the production of "Winner is Justice" had a sweet dream, and then...

A fire came down and woke them all up.

Thinking of this, Yano Ryuichi sighed deeply.

He felt very pity, and he also felt very unwilling.

The hard work of the whole production team disappeared like this.

And according to the original, he shouldn't have come over to apologize, after all, his status in the entire production team can only be said to be above average, and he is only twenty-seven years old, which can be regarded as relatively young.

But it can't be helped.

The chief supervisor and deputy supervisor of the production team are both lying in the hospital for rescue, severely burned, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

If he hadn't made an appointment with his wife yesterday to go out to pick out a birthday gift for his son, he would probably be lying in the hospital waiting for rescue now.

The entire production team of "Winner is Justice" had no available generals, so he was sent as a last resort to have a formal conversation with Urashima Publishing House.

Even Yano Ryuichi never thought that he would actually meet the rumored Higashino teacher because of this situation.

He sighed again.

After apologizing to Urashima Publishing House, I will try to apply for an extension of the production cycle of "Winner is Justice"... And because many members of the animation production team were injured, the quality could not be guaranteed.

It's a disaster from heaven.

After taking care of this matter, Yano Ryuichi is going to go to supervise Daikoto's home and say sorry to his relatives - after all, Daikuni Yuto is the most seriously injured right now.

Ryuichi Yano sorted out his emotions and checked his clothes before entering Urashima Publishing House.

This time I came here to be scolded, because now PW Animation Production Company can't hand over the work, which will also lead to the previous advertising and publicity costs of Urashima Publishing House and investors.

can be scolded and scolded... The most important thing is to keep the production rights of "Winner is Justice", otherwise the claim fee will come down, and the Daikan Yongren family will really be displaced.

All the way up, and then, led by the staff, Yano Ryuichi entered the reception room.

At this time, there were already two people sitting inside, a man and a woman.

The young male man had a beautiful face and a penetrating gaze, and as soon as he saw Yano Ryuichi, he stood up and introduced himself with a kind smile: "Hello, Mr. Yano, I'm Tsukasa Higashino. ”

Hosokawa Koharu, who was next to him, also stood up and introduced himself.

Tsukasa Higashino's smiling and kind expression made Yano Ryuichi slightly stunned.

Before he came, he had actually imagined the situation where Higashino Tsukasa stood up and pointed at his nose and scolded him, after all, as the original author of "Winner is Justice", Higashino Tsukasa's works were not produced according to the original plan, and there was even a possibility that they would be produced with low quality, which would inevitably affect Higashino Tsukasa's income.

"Mr. Yano, please be seated. I'm sorry to discuss this with you at this time. ”

Hosokawa Koharu stretched out his hand and said apologetically.

“... It's something that can't be helped. Yano Ryuichi barely managed to smile.

The rest is simple.

Hosokawa Koharu and Yano Ryu initially discussed a concrete plan, and suggested that if PW Productions could not continue production, Naurashima Publishing would find another animation production company.

Naturally, this was something that Yano Ryuichi didn't want to see, and he repeatedly excused himself while occasionally observing Higashino's reaction.

At such a time, the attitude of the original manga author is crucial, especially a national-level manga author like Tsukasa Higashino, if he speaks, Urashima Publishing will definitely not ignore it.

To Ryuichi Yano's surprise, Tsukasa Higashino didn't speak the whole time.

He didn't get angry at Yano Ryuichi's prevarication, he just looked at Yano Ryuichi with a calm gaze.

After a long while, Tsukasa Higashino spoke his first words: "Mr. Yano, were the other employees in charge of the animation production of "Winner is Justice" injured?" ”

Tsukasa Higashino's words made Yano Ryuichi feel an indescribable sense of guilt.

Because they are the ones who can't hand over the work, strictly speaking, Tsukasa Higashino is the one who is most affected by this matter.

But instead of being angry with him, the affected person asked with concern.

"The animation superintendent is not out of danger now, and he is still observing the situation, with many minor injuries and several deaths." This question made Yano Ryuichi take a deep breath, and he didn't hide it and answered directly.

“... Then I don't think the current PW animation production company can take over the production of "Winner is Justice", Mr. Yano probably won't deny it, right? ”

"It's... There should still be remnants of the original painting, as long as we continue to do it as we did it before..."

"Even if the original painting is kept and not burned, smoke or other conditions will damage the original painting, right?" Tsukasa Higashino continued to ask.

Ryuichi Yano sighed deeply and decided to give up: "After that, we will count the specific losses, and if we can't continue to make progress, then we will give up the animation production of "Winner is Justice" this time." ”

After he said this, he bowed deeply to Tsukasa Higashino and Hosokawa Koharu, and held it for a long time, but finally didn't show any fragile expression: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Higashino." ”

Looking at the back of Yano Ryuichi leaving, Higashino Tsukasa also shook his head.

It's not that he wants to make things difficult for Ryuichi Yano, nor does he want to be the villain, but if PW Productions can't finish "Winner is Justice" and keeps dragging it there, it will damage his interests and the interests of the publishing house.

Of course, there is also the method of Tsukasa Higashino taking the initiative to join the animation production team... But as I said earlier, Tsukasa Higashino is not a god, and he can't complete the entire animation production alone, so he can only say that he can't help.

Hosokawa Koharu also sighed, this kind of sudden situation is unpredictable by anyone.

The reason for the arson was also made clear after a police investigation.

The reason is ridiculous, so ridiculous that Tsukasa Higashino can't help but frown and feel that this time PW Animation Production Company has simply suffered an unwarranted disaster.

The reason for this is that the prisoner invented a coined word, which was used by PW Animation Productions in the production of an animated work.

The other party felt that PW Animation Production Company had plagiarized his idea, so he confronted PW Animation Production's fans on the Internet with high intensity, but was sprayed so much that he couldn't raise his head, and finally angrily attacked PW Animation Company's headquarters.

"It is said that when making "Winner is Justice", Ryuichi Yano and his group of animators stayed up late for a week or two... Hosokawa Koharu sighed and said: "I know the president of their company, Yuto Okuni, and he is a very good person, chubby, and belongs to the kind of person who loves comics very much, and he usually doesn't have any shelves, so he really suffered from an unwarranted disaster." ”

"Particularly fond of comics?" Tsukasa Higashino turned his head sideways.

"In fact, people who enter this industry are more or less fond of comics." Hosokawa Koharu sorted out the documents and looked at Tsukasa Higashino: "Like us, there are a lot of editors at Urashima Publishing House, but I used to like to read comics, so I was willing to join the company... Mr. Okuni is similar. Isn't Higashino-sensei? ”

This was asked by Tsukasa Higashino, who originally thought that comics could subsidize his family and produce quick results, so he chose the path of comic book author.

Fortunately, Hosokawa Koharu didn't continue to ask, she just packed up the documents in her hand before continuing: "No matter from all walks of life, there are people who like their work very much. Speaking of which, PW Animation Production will have a funeral in two weeks, and it's near their company, do you want to go over and see the situation? ”

"Go ahead." Tsukasa Higashino nodded.

The other party had an accident in the middle of the production of "Winner is Justice", and he was not so impersonal, and he didn't even go to a flower funeral.

......

The funeral of PW Animation Production was two weeks later, but what Higashino didn't expect was that there were many problems during this period.

Perhaps not as well-known as Kyoto Animation Productions in the previous life, after learning that PW Animation Productions had been set on fire, the production cycle of "Winner is Justice" may be extended, and even until next year, many fans who were looking forward to "Winner is Justice" directly posted posts of abuse and accusation on the Internet.

Some people have accused PW Productions of whether there is really plagiarism.

Some people said that if you don't have that diamond, you shouldn't take on porcelain work like "The Winner is Justice".

There are also people who directly and viciously comment - Daguan Yongren, who didn't keep the original painting, hurry up and die.

The number of people who say this kind of thing is very few at first, but it gradually increases later.

A lot of people are putting pressure on PW Animation Productions.

This process didn't make Higashino Tsukasa expect it either, but he soon thought of something.

Maybe it's the competing animation production companies that have been squeezed down by PW animation production companies before.

It's normal to create public opinion on the Internet.

In particular, it is unclear whether PW Animation Production will survive this hurdle, and it is understandable that they will take advantage of this time to fall into the ground.

It's just that this method really makes Higashino Tsukasa uncomfortable.

He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the public opinion on the Internet.

"Misfortune doesn't come alone."

Higashino could only shake his head.

This is indeed a disaster.

Even if Higashino Tsukasa looks at it from the perspective of a bystander, he can't help but sympathize with PW Animation Productions.

Just as he put down the mouse and was about to go to the work desk to continue preparing for "Unnatural Death", the mobile phone next to him suddenly rang.

Higashino raised his phone and took a look, and found that it was a number he didn't recognize.

He raised an eyebrow and switched it on: "Hey? Who is it? ”

"It's me, Yano Ryuichi, Higashino-sensei." Ryuichi Yano over there took a deep breath, as if he had a lot to say to Tsukasa Higashino, but in the end, it was just one sentence: "President Daikan has passed away." That one... We have something we want to give you, could you please come over? The address is..."

Yano Ryuichi was very emotional, and his words were a little unpleasant, and it could be seen that his relationship with Daikan Yuto should be good, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Ryu Yano, who was in his twenties, stopped only halfway through his words, and couldn't hold back his emotions anymore: "Higashino-sensei, we really tried our best. ”
