Tokyo Sound

Chapter 142 Robbery

Tsuchiya Hongliang woke up from his deep sleep and returned from the abyss of his dream.

The bear man dreamed that he was writing a manuscript. He had already written tens of thousands of words, full of emotion. But at the moment he clicked to publish, he was thrown back to reality at a loss. After realizing that he had to rewrite it, what followed was the frantic shaking of his heart like the waves of the sea. It was the anger and helplessness of being toyed with by fate.

Tsuchiya Hongliang gasped like a drowning man. After much struggle, he finally decided to give up the escape of taking a nap and get up to face the cruel truth.

He had decided to live a healthy life, so he felt a little happy when he saw 10 o'clock on his phone screen.

I guess after another week of adjustment, I can return from the underworld to the world of the living and get the excellent work and rest schedule of a high-quality human male. Although it is easier to get inspiration and a more striving atmosphere when reading and writing materials late at night, it is not a long-term solution after all.

After all, it is terrifying how excellent and self-disciplined people are. Just look at my brother who pushes the ball alone!

Although we cannot compare with that one-in-a-million young genius, we should also ignite the fighting will for life, so as not to let down those precious words of encouragement.

Tsuchiya Hiroaki adjusted his mentality, turned on the computer and played a song "負けないで".

The energetic rhythm and singing echoed in the room, and he also did 5 standard push-ups and 10 perfect squats with excitement. Ah, this innate boiling feeling of fat is the sign of my nirvana.

First wash your face and brush your teeth, boil water and prepare some food, then eat some bread while browsing various portals, reading the news, and supplementing your knowledge of the world.

The several chat groups created by him, the mastermind behind the scenes, were constantly in operation and never closed all day long.

Let me see what these idiots are posting.

"Takizawa Hidaka Manzai Broadcasting Fans Group"

"Brother Dong: Big Brother's account has gone silent again. It's really boring that I can't find out what's going on with him."

"Sweet Potato Stir-Fried Potato: Exactly, he hasn't participated in any new activities. I used to think that he just debuted and his agent didn't pay enough attention to him and didn't give him any notice, but now, I really have doubts. Is his agent incompetent? He is ruining my brother's future, which is really a heinous crime."

"'Rose-colored Urban Rain' has accepted the invitation to join the group"

"Brother Dong:?"

"Urban Strange Phlegm: Hello? There's a newcomer?"

"Stir-fried sweet potatoes: Welcome, welcome. The power of our headquarters has grown even stronger."

"The name of 'Rose-colored City Rain' has been changed to 'Shinjuku Ex-Girlfriend'"

"Stir-fried sweet potatoes:?"

"Golden P.E.K.A.'s Five:?"

"Ex-boyfriend from Austria: You are so brave! You dare to choose such a name! I am abroad!"

"Urban Strange Phlegm: ...I think you two are actually similar in nature."

"Austrian ex-boyfriend: Where are you? Stop pretending to be cool and come out to confront me!"

"Shinjuku Ex-Girlfriend: I'm new here, so I'd like to show my respect. I'll win 10 Oregairu merchandise, 10 Firefly Forest lossless Blu-ray BDs, and 30 DLCs and clothes for The Idol King 2."

"Austrian ex-boyfriend: Thank you, sister."

"Sweet potato stir-fry: grass."

"Brother Dong: Another generous lottery, haha, this is to curry favor with us elders. A mere newcomer, huh, I guess you are still eyeing the position of administrator. But I haven't been promoted yet, you should still work harder to gain experience."

"Shinjuku Ex-girlfriend: I heard that this is the most cutting-edge news station for all kinds of news about Takizawa Satoru. Is that true?"

"Brother Dong: Yes, it's the most advanced website on the Internet. It gathers the best of the Internet. Any news from any platform will be reposted here as soon as possible. And as my big brother's reputation grows, this headquarters has already implemented a membership invitation system. Ordinary fans can't get in without connections... By the way, who invited you?"

"Austrian ex-boyfriend: It's me."

"Brother Dong: ..."

"Urban Strange Phlegm: The Cao Wei headquarters next door has also started a membership invitation system."

"Shinjuku Ex-Girlfriend: Cao Wei? What does that mean?"

"Brother Dong: The leader of my group calls himself Kong Ming, and the leader of another group uses the pseudonym Zhong Da. We are fighting against each other and plotting to conquer the world. You have just joined the army, so you don't need to know too much. You will have plenty of opportunities to join this magnificent battle of the key paths in the future."

"Shinjuku Ex-girlfriend: That's not right. I looked at the group member list and there's a person called 'Great Governor of Eastern Wu'. Zhou Gongjin is not from the Shu Han camp either."

"Brother Dong: You are surprised by what you have seen. Of course, this is, um, preparation for the Battle of Red Cliffs."

"Shinjuku Ex-girlfriend: Why is it so formal? Is there a possibility that they planted spies in each other's group? After all, they used the tactics of self-torture and counter-espionage during the Red Cliff, and the group is an invitation-only system, which means that before the planting, there may have been despicable traitors in the group."

This string of characters seemed to have magical power. After it was sent out, the entire huge group chat was muted and no one spoke anymore.

A minute passed.

"Shinjuku Ex-girlfriend: Is there something wrong with my network? Why is there no one here?"

"Brother Dong: Welcome the newcomer."

"Urban Strange Phlegm: Welcome Newcomers."

"Sweet potato stir-fry: Welcome newcomers."

"Yeyeyeye God: Welcome newcomers."

"Shinjuku ex-girlfriend:?"

For some reason, the group members seemed to have lost their memory of the past few minutes and returned to their previous state, starting to repeat the welcome speech. A working woman in an office building in Ginza, facing this cyberpunk-style brainwashing scene, could not help but hold her forehead in confusion and was unable to understand.

At the moment when time was about to collapse, a man stood up, activated his heroic posture as soon as he appeared, and called out to everyone.

"The Great Governor of Dongwu: @All members Kyoto Animation official website"

Without a subject, predicate, or object, it is just a noun, unclear, and without even a period.

I don't understand what you want to express.

But the career woman frowned, she found that the chat group was quickly refreshed, and a lot of dormant members were blown out. They were awakened like a script program and replied "received" in seconds, even the group owner was no exception. In an instant, the chat page was filled up. This kind of execution and reply speed was like the internal group of the backbone of a Fortune 500 company that had just issued a new project.

In the vision of a woman's sixth sense, she vaguely saw a group of people riding on roaring war horses, rushing out of the headquarters as fast as the wind and as fast as fire, scrambling to be the first, galloping in the same direction, raising a cloud of dust behind their iron hooves.

Tsuchiya Hongliang's hand speed was so fast that he jumped into the official website of Kyoto Animation. Although he was a little dissatisfied because it was Ah Wei who mobilized the entire army, after all, it was others who got up earlier and completed the knowledge first. It seems that if you want to succeed, you really have to get up early and go to bed early!

As soon as he entered the website, with his keen senses, he discovered that there was something strange about the scroll bar on the homepage. He clicked on it and found that it was a special promotion for "Chuunibyou, Too!"

After all, as a big self-media influencer and animation expert in the ACG world, Aliang is well aware that this is an independent animation funded by Kyoto Animation itself, and from a business perspective, its status is extremely important.

Oh? Are there any bonus videos with interior footage of Studio One and the director explaining the production process himself?

Back then, Hiroaki Tsuchiya even went to do an interview in person and wrote an article, which received quite a lot of clicks.

……

"It just so happens that the guy just came back from the meeting. Why not let him take my place and explain the next color process?" Ishihara Rikiya chuckled and retreated out of the camera in a daze.

"Hello, hello, who are you?" Uchida Maaya asked cautiously. She had met this person many times, but this time she used honorifics in a strange way, mainly because the occasion was so strange that she even wondered if they just happened to look alike.

"I'm, uh, um, I'm the voice actor Takizawa Satoru from IM Agency, thank you for your guidance." The man found that the cameras had moved over, and facing the camera, he could only greet politely.

Maaya Uchida and the camera crew paused for a few seconds and then asked a soul-searching question.

"What are you doing here—"

"I'm involved in the production of a new animation on the third floor..." The man scratched his head.

"So you are the designated main role?" Uchida Maaya asked in silence.

"No, I discussed art style and animation design with them," the man answered truthfully.

The scene was quiet for another two seconds.

"I remember that I once invited you to participate in the collection of special features, right?" The head of the staff in the group couldn't help but ask.

"Is there such a thing?" Even someone with an excellent memory tilted his head and asked back.

"The result should be a rejection..." The head of the staff took a deep breath and clenched his hands. "Then why are you here again? Are you here just to make fun of me?"

"That's not my intention." Yin Ze said quickly. If he knew that Brother Bai Jing had set up an ambush here, he would have run away at the speed of light after eating and getting the invoice, and would not have fallen into the trap.

"To be honest, you did something wrong in this matter." Ishihara Riki stood with his hands behind his back, secretly adding fuel to the fire, "As the animation director of our company, it is your duty to cooperate with the production of video peripherals for your main animation."

Do you want to listen to what you say again?

The man looked at one of the Four Heavenly Kings silently with a deep gaze.

"Now that you're here, I'll leave the explanation of coloring to you." After saying this, Ishihara Riki pulled Kigami Yoshiharu away.

Now that the photography crew has lost their tour guide, they can only stare at the main voice actors in this show like wild wolves.

Alas, whatever.

A loser who makes a mistake by one move should pay the price like a loser.

The tragedy of life is not that a man loses, but that he almost wins.

"Then let's start recording. Please cut out the trivial clips just now." Yin Ze straightened his collar, and the work card hanging on his chest was full of weight.

"Please." The head of the staff smiled warmly like the spring sun, but his heart was actually filled with the evils of this world. How could such an interesting episode be removed?

"Well, this, uh, animation director, what about the color design?" Uchida Maaya tried hard to adjust her state, but her words were difficult to understand.

"It's not design, it's setting." Master Yin corrected seriously. When it comes to serious art work, he put away his joking face and put on the attitude of a veteran who used to lead newbies in an outsourcing company. "Then everyone, please follow me to the coloring group first."

A group of people came to another workstation.

"Rumiko-san, sorry to bother you. I wanted to explain some project cases to people outside the industry." Yin Ze said modestly.

“Sure, sure.” An older employee who was quite talkative stood up and offered his seat. “I’m going to an event right now. You can use this one to talk. If possible, help me put some paint on.”

After successfully taking his seat, Master Yin very stylishly tapped a few shortcut keys, switched on and off a few layers, and dragged and dropped the settings map with great proficiency. He noticed that the photography team was standing a little too far back, so he frowned and said, like an art exam teacher preparing to draw a sample painting and discovering a slacking student, "What can you see standing so far away? Come closer, don't fall asleep."

"?"

Uchida Maaya and the photographer, who were inexplicably scammed, had to take the VIP seats on the left and back. The camera was just facing someone's profile, and of course the computer screen was also well included.

The head of the staff suddenly felt a bit crowded, and when he turned around, he found that many young female employees were standing with their heads tilted. As soon as he showed his intention to move away, he was immediately pushed to the outside, and he felt like crying but had no tears.

"The setting is mainly determined by this word. Team work must have standards. For example, in this picture, you can see that there are several options for this character's swimsuit."

Yin Ze taught earnestly.

"Let's not go into detail about the swimsuit styles. Both bikinis and swimsuits fit the personality. As for the color, we have to consider both the character image and the beach background. Here, many swimsuits of the protagonist group are in cool colors, but there are very few blue and cyan. This is to avoid the background from being too similar... After determining so many details, we will compile this standard picture, and the subsequent production needs to comply with it 100%. The colors must be consistent and cannot be almost the same. I will absorb the color first, look, #5452b, so even if you use #6452b, it will be a mistake!"

"Then coloring is very simple. The line drawing has already divided the shadow area and color lines. All you have to do is fill them in accurately."

Master Yin was too lazy to use a digital pen, so he held the mouse and used the positioning ability in the FPS game to its full potential. With the help of keyboard shortcuts, the cursor jumped left and right, and a blank line drawing was instantly filled with color, shadows and highlights. When he was done, he turned around and concluded with certainty.

"——That's it. How about it? It's very simple, isn't it? There's not much mystery at all?"

"?"

Uchida Maaya still looked a little dazed.

Generally speaking, in this situation, the new person in charge must follow up.

Low EQ: You don’t understand this?

High EQ: Did I make myself clear?

Old office workers will use the third method.

"I explained it so clearly, but you didn't understand?" Yin Ze was very surprised.

"You speak and write so fast, is it strange that I don't understand since I have no basic knowledge?!" Uchida Maaya glared and got angry.

"Instead of lamenting the difficulty of the journey, why not set out immediately? Knowledge gained from books is shallow, and one must practice to truly understand." The hard-to-handle man smiled and said, "Why not give it a try? I'll be there to guide you."

Give way, change position.

"What should we do first?" Uchida Maaya asked the computer in an unfamiliar manner.

"Absorb the color first, and move the mouse to the setting picture over there." Yin Ze instructed.

"How to suck it?"

“Eyedropper tool, Alt.”

"and then?"

"Pour the paint bucket in, don't hesitate. No, you poured it in the wrong way. That's the inherent color, the primary shadow you chose, which is above the occluded part of the clothes."

"Can you use less jargon?" Maaya Uchida complained.

The man fell silent. He opened his mouth and was horrified to find that without using these words, he couldn't organize sentences or paragraphs with his language talent!

"Up, up, stop when I say stop. Okay, stop, right, here, fill it up." Yin Ze chose the dumbest method, which was remote control.

Maaya Uchida didn't mind being used as a middleman and clicked according to the routine.

Swish.
