When "The Garden of Words" was in full production, Xu Rui's animated film "Your Name" was also in preparation.

After completing the script and discussing it, it's time for the most basic character work.

In late March, the weather became warmer, but Lin Shuyi did not feel the breath of spring, but shrank in her place, holding a pen and thinking.

In front of her is a computer and a pen tablet, and Lin Shuyi is more comfortable with digital creation than the older generation of original artists who like to draw on paper.

At this moment, her computer screen shows a girl with long hair, who looks quite heroic.

"The performance of the two personalities is really a bit troublesome, how to get it......"

Lin Shuyi put the pen on her lips, which was her subconscious action when she was thinking.

She looked at the script on the side again, and carefully flipped through the description.

To be honest, when Lin Shuyi saw the script for the first time, she was shocked.

Because the script of "The Garden of Words and Leaves" is close to reality, delicate and restrained, she thought that "Your Name" was also a story about the young love of teenagers, but when she saw the beginning, this impression was completely subverted.

"Swap Body ???"

The male protagonist of the story is a high school student living in Ningjiang, and the heroine Ye is a student in a small country town.

Naturally, there are some jokes, some disagreements, and there are also occasions when problems are solved by relying on different thinking on both sides.

Lin Shuyi has seen comics with similar settings, but they are basically pure comedy genres, and no one will worry about why two people can exchange bodies, and only watch the interpretation of the plot after accepting this setting.

But the use of this setting in an animated movie is indeed unprecedented.

What Lin Shuyi is struggling with now is how to express the different personalities of the male protagonist and the female protagonist in a persona.

Although it is possible to make two personalities appear on a face in the later stage, with the actions of the original painting and the interpretation of the voice actors, Lin Shuyi still wants to make a distinction in the character design stage, so that people can feel that they can know which personality is now occupying the body at a glance.

"Ye's personality is more straightforward, his father is the mayor of the town, and his family is a big family in charge of local festivals, so he should be relatively mature, well, add a little girlishness?"

In the story setting, the city where the heroine Ye is located is located in Sichuan and Shu, this area has many basins, and the town where the heroine lives is located next to a lake, and there is a basin plain between the mountains nearby.

The deity worshipped at this festival is not an ordinary Buddha Taozun, but an unknown small deity, it is said that in ancient times, the god descended on the town and brought this lake to the arid town, and the body of the god fell in the basin plain, where the heroine's family guarded for generations.

It is precisely because of this that in addition to the heroine's character wearing school uniforms and civilian clothes, she also looks like she is dressed in gorgeous clothes and holds a festival.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shuyi turned her gaze to the side, trying to find inspiration from the people around her.

"Clothing, makeup? Well, boys shouldn't be very good at makeup, but it's hard to reflect this from the personality......"

She bit the tip of her pen and meditated.

At this time, Wu Hongyan, a newcomer brought by Lin Shuyi, came back from the bathroom, and Lin Shuyi looked at this young girl and suddenly had some doubts.

"Hey, Hongyan, why do you feel like you're not the same as usual?"

She looked this girl up and down, although her clothes were no different from usual, but for some reason, Lin Shuyi looked a little different.

After thinking for a while, Lin Shuyi realized that Wu Hongyan's hair was usually carefully tied out of pigtails and tied up at the back of her head, but now she is just tied in a ponytail, which looks not so delicate, but it is a little more energetic.

"I see!!"

Lin Shuyi stood up suddenly, so frightened that Wu Hongyan almost fell off the chair.

"Ming, what do you understand?"

Wu Hongyan subconsciously glanced at the other side of the office, but Yi Qianqian's position was now empty, and it seemed that Xu Rui had taken him to the hospital for examination.

"I thought about how to distinguish whether the current consciousness is the male protagonist or the female protagonist."

Lin Shuyi didn't say it too clearly, but excitedly picked up the pen and created frantically on the tablet.

More than an hour later, two heroines appeared on Lin Shuyi's computer screen.

In one of the images, her hair is carefully tied into several small braids and tied up with a red headband, while the other is simply tied in a ponytail, although both are the same face, and even the expression has not changed, but the overall feeling is completely different.

This is the original heroine and the male protagonist who controls the heroine's body after swapping bodies.

As for the boys, Lin Shuyi also tried to make some designs, but the effect was not ideal, but considering that the difference between the behavior of men and women will be more obvious in the male protagonist, there is no need to force a change in the image.

After completing the character design, Lin Shuyi felt relieved, she moved her neck, stood up, and wanted to go to the pantry to pour a cup of coffee to relieve her fatigue.

It was a weekday afternoon, and the pantry was empty, except for two people sitting at a round table, as if discussing something.

Lin Shuyi poured a cup of coffee in the coffee machine, added a considerable amount of sugar cubes and milk, and then took a slow sip, ready to return to his place to continue working.

But as she passed by the two, Lin Shuyi heard some words that made her curious.

“...... I think both of these designs are good, but they feel a little too realistic, and we should use 2D rendering to see the effect? ”

"3D rendering 2D, I can go back and try it, the main previous work is such a realistic style, and suddenly it can't be changed."

"Well, it's mainly a matter of material, and it may take a few more options."

Lin Shuyi saw that the two were Huo Luofei, the head of Hatsune Games, and Guo Weiren, who had transferred to Hatsune Games to engage in game art design.

The few pieces of paper they held in their hands were printed with characters that Lin Shuyi had never seen before.

It was a little man with a green hat.
