Kitahara Makoto said with certainty,

"However, we cannot let our guard down; there is still a lot of work to be done."

They ate and chatted, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. Kitahara Makoto felt the warmth and tacit understanding within the team, and his heart was filled with confidence and anticipation.

The sunlight streaming through the window shone on him, bringing a touch of warmth.

Kitahara Makoto slowly savored the bento box, the refreshing aroma of green tea lingering in his mouth.

He gazed at the bustling streets outside the window, and the gloom in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate as he digested his food.

During the meal, he frequently observed the employees around him.

Some employees hurriedly finished their meals and rushed back to the office to continue working;

Some leisurely enjoyed their lunch break, chatting with colleagues; others wore satisfied smiles, clearly having enjoyed their favorite food.

Kitahara Makoto finished his last bite of rice, took a sip of his green tea, and was filled with emotion.

Chapter 461 I'm too full, I'll take a nap first.

This cafeteria is like a microcosm of the company, where everyone is striving for their own lives and goals.

Kitahara Makoto knew that as the company's president, he bore greater responsibilities and missions, and he had to lead everyone forward together.

He cleared his plate, stood up, and left the cafeteria. On his way back to his office...

Kitahara Makoto returned to his office, where a familiar and tranquil atmosphere enveloped him.

Kitahara felt his stomach was full and his thinking seemed to have slowed down, so he decided to put down his work for a while and give himself some time to rest.

Kitahara Makoto walked to the sofa, sat down gently, and then adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable on the sofa.

Kitahara Makoto closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and savored the tranquility and comfort of the office.

Before long, Kitahara Makoto felt a wave of weariness wash over him.

Kitahara knew this was his body signaling that he needed to rest, so he didn't resist and obediently let himself drift off to sleep.

Kitahara Makoto's breathing gradually became even and deep, and he completely relaxed.

Kitahara Makoto's mind also began to relax, ceasing to think about any work-related issues and instead immersing himself in a state of tranquility and peace.

In his dream, Kitahara Makoto seemed to have returned to a distant and beautiful place.

There are clear streams, dense forests, and warm sunshine there.

Kitahara Makoto strolled freely across this beautiful land, feeling the bounty and harmony of nature.

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle ringing broke Kitahara Makoto's dream.

Kitahara Shin groggily opened his eyes and saw that the sunlight outside the window had become much softer.

Kitahara Makoto realized that he had taken a short nap and felt refreshed and full of energy.

Kitahara Makoto sat up, stretched, and then walked to the window.

Kitahara Makoto opened the window, letting fresh air flow into the office.

He took a deep breath, savoring the freshness and tranquility.

Kitahara knew that he was ready to face the work challenges of the afternoon.

Kitahara Makoto returned to his desk, gathered his thoughts, and then threw himself back into his work.

He adjusted the angle of his computer screen and began to focus on the work at hand—refining the film details he had previously proposed.

This film is a project that Kitahara Makoto poured countless efforts into, hoping to perfectly present his creativity and ideas to the audience through this film.

Kitahara Makoto opened the document and began to examine every detail of the film frame by frame.

He meticulously observed every element in the picture, pondering how to make them more vivid and realistic.

He kept revising the script, adjusting the 630-degree camera angles and lighting, striving to make every scene achieve the ideal effect in his mind.

However, Kitahara Makoto encountered some difficulties in refining the details of the film.

He realized that some professional problems could only be solved by consulting professionals.

So he picked up the phone and began contacting each of the "teachers" in his heart.

First, he dialed Akira Toriyama's phone number.

Akira Toriyama is a famous Japanese manga artist, and his works are deeply loved by Makoto Kitahara.

Kitahara Shin consulted Toriyama Akira on the phone about some issues concerning character design and scene composition.

Kitahara Makoto picked up the phone and dialed Toriyama Akira's number.

Chapter 462 Seeking Advice from the Great Masters

After the call was connected, he said respectfully:

"Hello, Akira Toriyama! I'm Makoto Kitahara, and I have a question for you."

Akira Toriyama's voice came through the microphone, full of kindness:

"Oh, it's Kitahara Makoto! Hello! What's up?"

"It's about a character's action scene in the movie I'm making. I feel it's a bit stiff, and I'd like to ask you how to make it more natural."

Kitahara said sincerely.

Akira Toriyama pondered for a moment, then said:

"Yes, you can try to start with the character's personality and emotions, imagine his real reaction in this scene, and then incorporate that reaction into your actions."

"In addition, you can observe the movements of real people or animals to draw inspiration from them."

Kitahara listened attentively, nodding repeatedly.

"Thank you for your suggestion, I will try it."

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto felt a sense of relief.

Following Akira Toriyama's advice, he redesigned the character's movements, and the effect was indeed very different, making the character more vivid and natural.

Akira Toriyama patiently answered his questions and offered some valuable advice.

Kitahara listened attentively, nodding occasionally, a satisfied expression on his face.

Then, Kitahara Makoto dialed Miyazaki Hayao's number again.

Hayao Miyazaki is a leading figure in Japanese animated films, and his works are full of imagination and creativity.

Kitahara Makoto consulted Miyazaki Hayao on some questions regarding animation production and the use of color.

After dialing Miyazaki Hayao's number, Kitahara Makoto said:

"Hello, Mr. Miyazaki! I am Makoto Kitahara. I have a question about the use of color that I would like to ask you."

Hayao Miyazaki's voice remains gentle and magnetic:

"Kitahara Makoto, hello there! Tell me, what problem are you having?"

"I feel that the colors in some scenes of my film are too monotonous. I would like to ask you how to make the colors richer and more layered."

Kitahara said sincerely.

Hayao Miyazaki smiled and said:

"The use of color is indeed very important. You can try to choose appropriate colors based on the atmosphere of the scene and the emotions of the character."

"For example, bright and vivid colors can be used in cheerful scenes, while dark and soft colors can be used in sad scenes."

"In addition, you can use color contrast and gradation to create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality."

Kitahara listened with great interest, nodding repeatedly.

"Thank you for your suggestion, I will try it."

Finally, Kitahara Makoto also contacted the voice acting company.

He knows that an excellent film cannot exist without excellent dubbing, so he hopes to select the most suitable voice actors for the film through communication with dubbing companies.

During the phone call, he discussed in detail with the head of the dubbing company the character's personality traits and emotional expression, hoping to find the voice that best suited the character (Wang Hao).

Kitahara listened attentively on the phone, occasionally offering his suggestions and requests, a serious expression on his face.

After a busy afternoon, Kitahara Makoto finally finished perfecting the details of the film.

He carefully examined every scene and every shot to ensure that they achieved the ideal effect in his mind.

He felt very satisfied and proud because he knew this film would be an important work in his career.

Chapter 463 The meeting is canceled; I'm going to drink with Mai tonight.

Kitahara Makoto put down his work and rubbed his tired eyes.

He gazed at the sunset outside the window, his heart filled with anticipation and longing.

He knew this film would be his stage to showcase his talent to the world, and he would devote himself fully to post-production to present a perfect work to the audience.

Kitahara Makoto finished a long day of work and stretched deeply, feeling as if all the muscles and bones in his body had been relaxed.

With this stretch, he felt a wave of ease and comfort wash over him, instantly relaxing his previously tense nerves.

He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the distance through the office's glass window.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the sky, painting half the heavens red, a breathtaking sight. Kitahara Makoto quietly admired this rare tranquility and beauty for a while.

He then turned around, pressed the call button on the table, and summoned his assistant, Li Hua.

630 Li Hua arrived at the office quickly, and Kitahara Makoto said to her:

"Li Hua, please inform the sales department that tonight's meeting is canceled."

Upon hearing this, Li Hua immediately replied, "Understood, Mr. Kitahara, I'll take care of it right away."

She turned and left to carry out Kitahara Makoto's instructions.

(cecj) Kitahara Shin watched Li Hua's departing figure, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

During this period, everyone in the company worked hard towards a common goal, and their dedication and perseverance made him feel very gratified.

He snapped out of his reverie and began tidying up the files on his desk. He organized them one by one, put them into folders, and then placed them in a drawer.

Then, he shut down the computer and picked up the car keys on the table.

Stepping out of the office, Kitahara Makoto took the elevator downstairs.

Inside the elevator, he stood quietly, his gaze calmly fixed ahead.

As the elevator descended, he gradually relaxed.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Kitahara Makoto found his car.

He opened the car door, got in, and started the car. The car slowly drove out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic outside.

Kitahara Shin drove to the Starlight Tavern. He opened the car window, letting the evening breeze gently caress his face.

The scenery along the way flashed by before his eyes, but he had no heart to appreciate it. He was only thinking about seeing Mai Sakurajima soon and spending a peaceful night with her.

Soon, the car arrived at the Starlight Tavern. Kitahara Shin parked the car and went into the tavern.

The tavern was dimly lit and cozy, with a faint aroma of alcohol and the scent of wooden furniture filling the air.

He looked around and saw all kinds of wine bottles and exquisite wine glasses.

Kitahara Makoto walked to the bar and ordered a bottle of sake and some snacks from the bartender.

After paying, he left the tavern with his wine and snacks.

Back in the car, Kitahara placed the wine and snacks on the passenger seat.

He started the car and drove towards Mai Sakurajima's house.

Kitahara's feelings were somewhat complicated throughout the journey.

Xiaoyue's departure was a heavy blow to everyone, especially Sakurajima Mai.

He could imagine Mai's sadness and distress at that moment, so he wanted to stay by her side and offer her some comfort and support.

The car stopped in front of Mai Sakurajima's house, and Makoto Kitahara got out with some sake and side dishes.

Entering the house.

When Mai Sakurajima saw Makoto Kitahara, a flicker of surprise and delight crossed her eyes. She smiled and said:
