Tokyo Sound

Uchida Yuuma, who was re-recording, was dejected.

Both of them were just going through the motions, only someone's durian senior had some content, but he was not the core character. Anyway, they were paired up quickly and then started sitting on the sofa.

Before the show ends.

"You are from the same firm." The senior came over to talk to someone, chatting about family matters. Suddenly, he realized, and then joked, "It's time for you to lead new people yourself. No wonder I didn't see you catching up on your sleep in the corner today."

Wait until the show is over.

"How can you be so unprofessional taking a nap at work?"

Although Uchida Yuma had a bad start, he still pretended to have doubts.

"He was almost late today. How can he set a good example for us? And he is obviously very familiar with the seniors, but he doesn't even take the newcomers to talk a few words to expand their social circle. Is this the legendary master teacher who keeps a trick for himself?"

"...Professional. It's clear that everyone except you passed the recording in one go."

Yin Ze said with a strange look in his eyes.

"There's no such thing as being almost late. It's all about being on time. There's a lot for you to learn about clocking in and out and time management."

“As for becoming familiar in front of seniors, it’s optional. As the old saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself. As long as we persist and improve ourselves, there will always be a day when we can act together again. Then we can talk more and understand each other better.” Yin Ze waved his hand.

"But we have to try to curry favor with people, right? We have to leave a good impression," said Uchida Yuma.

"Yes, it is better to rely on yourself than on others, but there will be a time when one's own strength is exhausted..."

The man smiled coolly.

"When that time comes, Daxi, just come and find me. As long as I'm here, there's no reason for my direct subordinates to ask outsiders for help!"

"Oh?"

"what……"

Although the passionate man thought that this statement must be a bit of bragging and showing off in front of newcomers, it was also a manifestation of extremely strong self-confidence and temperament. Uchida Yuma was secretly surprised that he was indeed the enemy he was destined to defeat.

Once you choose a side, do you have to stick to it? What a strong desire for control. The worry on Saori Ohnishi's face deepened.

"No more talking, it's time to go to the next location. Brother, see you later." Master Yin still wanted to lead the newbie to continue to work on the set, so he waved goodbye.

"No need, we're on our way." Uchida Yuma said calmly, "By the way, we can have lunch together at the next place."

"Why?" Yin Ze asked.

"Because my sister is there too." Uchida Yuma said calmly, "By the way, remember to buy me a drink."

"Why?" Yin Ze widened his eyes.

"You still have the nerve to ask why?!" Uchida Yuuma touched his stomach where his intestines were, feeling extremely sad.

Chapter 77 A Small Visit

After the last episode of "Hyouka" was aired, the discussion it caused gradually subsided after nearly half a month.

First of all, in terms of actual sales, after the final episode was broadcast, the BD volumes that had been released saw a rare small wave of repurchases.

Especially for the final 11th volume of the BD, after the TV animation ended, the number of pre-orders for the disc quickly exceeded 5200, and within a few hours it exceeded the general "reference line for whether the production will be renewed or not", and the upward trend is still encouraging. If nothing unexpected happens, the initial sales may directly exceed 11000 on the actual release date.

There is no doubt that this work can already be called a "best-seller" in commercial terms. Coupled with the praise and heated discussions from all sides, it is a good interpretation of what it means to be both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.

The reason why the show received these recognitions was not only because of the quality of the animation itself, but also because of the weird staff list in the last episode, which also contributed to the considerable popularity of the show.

The name was repeated three times throughout the film, and the film took care of everything from storyboards, performances, original paintings, animations to backgrounds, and the final presentation was of theater-level quality, which attracted the attention of the public and caused a lot of bewilderment in the industry.

The more skilled the practitioner is, the more he knows how difficult it is.

Unlike miracles like God's hand or natural writing, which are eternal in an instant, even the greatest pictures take time to draw. No matter how much blank space is left, it must be carefully carved. Not to mention the animation that keeps moving all the time, there are indeed many scene shots... But the delicate and exquisite scenery, if you insist, the workload and time consumption may not be less.

The three of them had to hand in a large amount of drama-level manuscripts within the normal serialization period. First of all, they had to work around the clock. Secondly, they had to cooperate with each other properly and make smooth connections. Finally, they had to draw at lightning speed and write steadily and correctly, minimizing the cumbersome steps of rework and changes.

To sum it up, it is very simple, fast and good.

But after thinking about it, a bunch of painters found it hard to imagine the working conditions in the studio at that time...what kind of creative purgatory that must have been.

The supervisor even made a humorous comment that Kyoto Animation is actually a technology company and has developed a humanoid final battle weapon, and it is Unit-0, Unit-01, and Unit-02. He also said that if he wanted to buy one, he would buy it even if he had to take out a loan, put it in his workstation, plug it in, and run it for two quarters to earn back the cost, and then he could take a short vacation with his flesh and blood.

That being said, no one really believes that Kyoto Animation has the ambition to carry out a completion plan.

This episode will surely become a legend in the history of TV animation. Conversely, colleagues began to share information with each other about the trio who created the miracle.

Yoshiharu Kigami is the big brother of Ichiro Miyoshi, the strongest new original artist in Kansai. He is a veteran in the industry with comprehensive skills, and is an expert in layout and animation.

Yasuhiro Takemoto is a young and promising supervisor with a solid foundation.

Takizawa Satoru... he, uh, uh this? Oh, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the animation director would have the same name as the main voice actor.

But in the end, with the kind reminders of several people, their colleagues finally discovered that the two were indeed the same person.

It turns out that this is a part-time production process in addition to dubbing. Haha, there have been Easter egg stories of voice actors joining the painting team before, and it’s the same this time... What the hell!

It's ridiculous that the original painting and background are placed at the front. Which tentacle monster in the company is trying to play a prank on everyone by wearing the main role? !

After going through various chains of suspicion, and after everyone's tireless @-ing and questioning, Kigami Yoshiharu had to come out to refute the rumors, and speechlessly stated that this was not some old man's pseudonym, but on the contrary, it was open and aboveboard, and it was his real name, and he was himself.

But some people still didn't believe it. At this time, a producer used his connections and asked a friend to find out.

Soon, gossip spread like snowflakes.

There are various explanations, including "knowing nothing but gaining enlightenment in the training course", "self-taught", "the master's last disciple came out to test the waters"...

But this one is the most credible.

This person is a senior original artist at AQUARE ENIX. He participated in the remake of Final Fantasy 14 and was in charge of the design. He was the integrator and direct person in charge of the high-level art resource outsourcing chain, as well as the leader of the D project auxiliary handover review team. He has now resigned.

"Is the news reliable?" The producer carefully played a four.

"It is said that this was said by the head of the third development division himself, so it shouldn't be false." The next player touched a card and said, "And didn't Hyouka say before that there was an accident with the middle card? AQUARE ENIX was asked by Mr. Kigami."

"...Well, that makes sense. After all, one can tell from these two long and complicated job titles that they are the core ones. Entering a large company at such a young age and taking on such an important responsibility, one can imagine that their abilities are not weak. This explains it." The producer was waiting for a 20,000 ticket.

At this point, everyone has figured out the whole story of the miracle.

……

After the welcome party for the juniors, during the free time before taking them to the set.

"Brother Takizawa, you need to knock it out with your knife first, otherwise it will keep moving around."

"Of course I know. How could I not know about the knocking out before the treatment? But the problem is that this is a fruit knife, it doesn't work well. Can I use a hammer?"

"Ahhh, go peel the potatoes and I'll do it."

"What are you talking about? You don't believe me?!"

In the bachelor apartment, the man and the girl upstairs were working together to prepare the ingredients for today's dinner. Although the two had cooked together many times, the man was basically doing odd jobs, only doing trivial tasks such as picking vegetables, peeling, and mixing sauces. Today, he was going to challenge himself to handle living ingredients for the first time! He was determined to be a bloody butcher and see blood!

After a lot of trouble, I finally got it done. The process can only be described as a near miss.

"We started at 2pm, but we didn't expect to finish it before 5pm. We can even take a break and start cooking later." The man looked at the time and felt good about himself.

Asamiya Kazuki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, let's watch some variety shows and take a break." The man washed his hands and leisurely turned on the TV.

"Didn't you say you wanted to do your homework?" the middle school girl said bluntly.

"Write after dinner." Someone has already laid down.

"You are so lazy. You said you would do homework with me this morning. I have already finished it, but you just came up with a title and a beginning." Asamiya Kazuki glanced at the computer screen. In the pale document, the bold title of "The Humanity of Gods, the Most Beautiful Form of Mortals: On the Unity of Man and God in Ancient Greek Art" is very eye-catching, grand and profound, and has a heavy sense of history, which makes people want to read it.

Looking at the written content again, there are only a few words: As we all know...

"Is it really okay if I submit the assignment late?" Asamiya Kazuki was a little worried. The main reason was that it was obvious at a glance that the topic was a big assignment. It would take at least more than ten days to write and think, think and write.

"It doesn't matter. I already have the draft in my mind. It exists clearly in my mind, but I haven't written it down yet."

"Most of those who delay submitting their manuscripts make excuses for themselves in this way..."

"No, I'm real."

"You won't delay your graduation, will you?"

"That's for sure. I've been trained in the field. Haha, it would be fine if I just went to graduate school, but you know how difficult it is to graduate with a Ph.D., Literary Bald... Hiroko, oh, how difficult it is to graduate with a Ph.D.?" The man suddenly laughed without emotion.

"W-what?" the middle school student asked hesitantly, touching upon the realm of hair loss in advance.

"I heard that there's a philosophy professor next door who is a PhD dropout."

"..."

It is difficult to produce research results in the humanities, and there are also bigwigs watching over your head all the time.

uncomfortable.

Even this major assignment was given by the boss. If you are not tough enough, you will be criticized.

Even more uncomfortable.

The middle school student felt the scent of falling hair in the air, and looking at the person with a peaceful expression, he didn't want to urge him to study hard for a while.

Life is short, so enjoy it while you can. Although my brother's approach may seem like an ostrich, it is still a life spirit.

……

Boom boom, boom boom.

The knock on the door was moderate in strength and sound.

"I'm coming."

Asamiya Kazuki, who was tied up with a post, went to open the door. Then she saw two strangers, one wearing a formal business suit and holding a briefcase, and the other wearing a sweater and with his hands in his pockets.

The temples of both of them were slightly gray, which was a proof that they had gone through many years of life.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Asamiya Kazuki asked with some confusion.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Takizawa's residence?" the man in the suit asked politely, even bowing slightly to the child who was much younger than him, to show the courtesy of visiting. He was not tall, but his temperament was very upright. Although he was no longer young, his eyes were still full of energy. When he smiled, his face had many more wrinkles.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Asamiya Kazuki didn't answer, but asked again. She knew that her brother was a voice actor and also an artist, so she still had to pay attention to his address information.

"Excuse me, I'm an animation producer and the president of Kyoto Animation." The man took out a business card from his old briefcase, handed it over with both hands, and introduced himself in a kind and simple manner, "My name is Hatta Hideaki."

"President?!"

Asamiya Kazuki was in middle school and had never met any entrepreneurs or big bosses. She took the business card hesitantly, looked at it for a few seconds, and finally turned around and called softly.

"Brother Takizawa, a president wants to see you."

"?"

The sound of slippers approached, and the man soon appeared behind the girl, staring at the two people outside the door. He didn't know the man in the suit, but he knew the old painter in the sweater.

"Kugami-san? Why are you here?" The man was surprised. "You didn't come all the way from Kyoto, did you? It's so far away."

"I have no choice but to accompany my boss out." Kigami Yoshiharu smiled cheerfully. He pulled the cotton hat on his head, took his hand out of his pocket, waved and greeted.

"Who is this...?" The man looked at the man who was not tall.

"President Hatta of our company, I mentioned him when we were chatting before." Yoshiharu Kigami shrugged.

"You are——" the man was surprised.

"I'm sorry for coming so hastily. But after listening to their stories and knowing your help to our company, I want to thank you in person and see you in person." Hatta Hideaki said with a smile. He was also a little surprised. Although he knew something, he was still a little surprised that the person in front of him was so young.

"Oh, why don't you just talk about it on the phone? Why take such a long car ride?" The man scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sorry to bother you, teacher. If possible, could you please take up some of your time? I want to talk to you. I saw a pretty good cafe downstairs." said Hideaki Yata.

"No, no, just come in. It's just that I live alone, so the house is inevitably a little messy. I hope you don't mind. By the way, don't use honorifics. You are so much older than me, how can you bear it? Come in, come in, it's cold walking outside, right?"

Master Yin spoke warmly, and took the initiative to pull the two of them to sit at home, and dragged the so-called "little sun" heater over to the two elders to light up. This thing was bought from Chinatown. It consumes a lot of electricity, and I usually don't turn it on.

Asamiya Kazuki took the initiative to pour three cups of hot tea and brought some snacks.

"You just said that you live alone, so who is this girl?" Yoshiharu Kigami asked curiously.

"Oh, she's my upstairs neighbor, a very kind girl. She studies nearby. Her hometown is not in Tokyo, so she studies and lives alone. I tutor her in her homework when I'm free, and I occasionally show off my cooking skills and make some delicious dishes. The girl lives a very frugal life and saves on food on weekdays." The man explained without a single pause.

"That's great." Yoshiharu Kigami nodded affirmatively at his kindness.

"..."

Asamiya Kazuki did not point out the only flaw in this passage. After she placed the tea on the table, she neatly put away the textbooks, exercise books, pencil cases and other things.

"Brother Takizawa, you guys need to talk about something, so I'll go back first."
