Nakata wasn't mistaken.

Gu Xue did have the idea of fully mobilizing the audience's expectations and curiosity in the first episode, and then fighting it out in the second episode to respond to the audience's expectations, which is also one of the reasons why she persuaded the series to form Ye Huo's outline.

Because of Yao Liang and producer Takeda P, Gu Xue really plans to go all out.

On the day of the end of the storyboard meeting, Gu Xue handed over the first episode of the drawn "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" to be responsible for the production of the episode.

Dozens of copies of the storyboard were reproduced and distributed to the original artists and related personnel who participated in the first episode.

Because it's a key episode of the first episode, the original art part of this episode will be produced in the CDD Animation Studio.

This will make Gu Xue worry a lot.

However, even if the original paintings of the first episode will not be outsourced, and all of them will be produced in the CDD Animation Workshop, Gu Xue still picked out the fight card of the protagonist and his party passing through the misty forest in the first episode.

She plans to paint this part of the shot herself.

Setting a benchmark for the second episode of the anime is one reason.

But the main reason is ...... Gu Xue felt that if you go all out, you should have the appearance of going all out.

Moreover, when the time comes, if the performance and storyboard of the second episode Chiseki says that her requirements and practices are too messy, she can use this to scare him.

"I'm busy as an overseer, and I can still find time to draw the original painting, and now you tell me that the second episode can't be done, so what's the use of you" or something like that......

Gu Xue felt that she was quite bad......

In a word.

The animation of "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" is proceeding steadily step by step and without any major mess.

But animation doesn't happen overnight.

Although Gu Xue's storyboard has been distributed, it will take some time for the original paintings below to finish the storyboard and preliminarily determine the shots they want to draw.

In addition to being the storyboard and performance of the first episode, Gu Xue is also the supervisor of the entire work.

Therefore, although the production of the first episode has been put on the agenda, it has not yet officially entered the actual painting stage, and the painting meeting has not yet been held.

During this time, Gu Xue dealt with other matters that she needed to supervise and be responsible for.

On the third day after the storyboard, she had a meeting with the color designator to discuss the choice of colors for the characters in the animation, in order to facilitate the future coloring tasks.

On the fourth day, she participated in the art conference, and participated in the idea of the art part of the set map, that is, the line drawing, this part is okay, because there is an original work, and the space for free play is quite small, after all, the world view is determined, and the world view is changed to the point of view, Gu Xue is afraid that Miyamoto Hui will come to the door. So she played the role of a dog-headed military advisor, and she raised relevant opinions, but it was basically according to the original comics.

And on the Friday of the second week, Gu Xue received a notice that after leaving home, she did not go to YUKI Studio or CDD Animation Studio, but went to a recording studio in the southeast of Suginami District to participate in the voice actor audition.

……

As time went on, the temperature in Kyoto began to rise slowly.

In addition to lamenting that time passed a little fast, Gu Xue was also a little happy, which meant that she could finally take off her over-the-knee socks......

When she went out to the recording studio today, she didn't wear the pair of over-the-knee socks that Miss Mihara chose, and now the weather doesn't need to keep warm at all.

In fact, to be honest, she hates wearing that kind of socks, sometimes she will fall down, and she has to work hard to take them off when she gets home at night, and sometimes when she comes home too tired, Gu Xue will fall asleep upside down, and she will forget to take them off, and she always feels very uncomfortable when she gets up the next day.

Although when Gu Rou slept with her, she joked that it was quite warm.

But Gu Xue really didn't have the habit of sleeping in socks.

It is best not to wear it.

However, not wearing it also brings some unexpected troubles.

In the same situation as the summer when Gu Xue first came here the year before, she was stared at again while walking on the road......

Although he would be targeted if he wore knee socks before, Gu Xue always felt that in this state, there were more people who secretly looked at him.

Holding back the slight discomfort that rose in her heart, Gu Xue persuaded herself with words like 'I used to be all over the place', and instead of turning around and going back to put on the over-the-knee socks again, she walked quickly to the station and took the tram directly.

The train galloped all the way to the southeast of Suginami District, Gu Xue got off the bus and came to her destination, and when she walked into the recording studio, the producer from the committee's side, Takeda P, the producer of the CDD animation studio, and the sound supervisor and other relevant personnel had already arrived.

Gu Xue greeted them without humility or arrogance, and then found a place to sit down.

Voice actor selection, literally, is the selection of suitable voice actors.

But how to choose, in fact, each project is quite different.

In the first case, some directors have been involved in the production of many productions and will come into contact with many voice actors, so when selecting voice actors, they may have already thought of using a certain voice actor to perform their own work, and there is also a discussion with the sound supervisor, who spend the whole year with the voice actors, and know very well what type of role a voice actor is suitable for.

But Gu Xue didn't have many voice actors.

So here we use the second case.

It is to listen to the voice samples recorded in advance by the voice actors of each voice actor studio, select some candidates who feel suitable, agree on a time, let them come and perform on the spot, and then finalize the candidates.

Voice samples of the voice actors,There are on the official websites of each voice actor agency,Gu Xue listened to and exchanged opinions with the speaker supervisor last week,The candidate voice actors for the main roles have been set,After making sure that their schedule is okay,That's why they came over to audition today。

This is a common practice when selecting voice actors for projects that don't have a lot of budget.

If the project is really wealthy, Gu Xue doesn't need to listen to any voice samples, and directly sends a certain line that can better highlight the personality characteristics of the character to the office with the character personality setting information, and asks the office to help recommend suitable candidates, and then let the recommended voice actors come to the recording studio, improvise one by one, and then select the most suitable one.

To put it simply, it is to conduct an audition.

In this way, you can really choose the most suitable voice, and you can also better examine the on-the-spot adaptability of a voice actor.

It's a pity that "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" doesn't belong to the kind of project with deep pockets.

Right.

The budget for "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" is actually not too much, after all, this is essentially a promotional animation of the comics, and the copyright owner, that is, Miyamoto Hui's company, promotes the main purpose of the project, which is to buy the original work, so the budget is the level of meaning.

In this case.

That is, Gu Xue is stupid, so in order to prove herself, she wants to 'go all out' to do a good job in animation......
