How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

He waited with bated breath, but this time there was no system prompt sound. Instead, fragments of memory rushed straight into the depths of his consciousness, the experience and skills of another original artist.

To be precise, it is the experience and skills summarized by an animation supervisor in his 20 years of work.

Along with the slight pain in the brain, personnel management, resource integration skills, and how to deal with problems in various animation processes...

Many valuable experiences that one cannot know the real operation method without experiencing it, and one cannot think of the solution in advance without actually encountering it in the production process were all taken in by Sato Yu in an instant, which made him suddenly enlightened.

The means of dealing with things, the ways of solving emergencies, and the valuable experience benefited people a lot. As Sato You flipped through the extra memories in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh.

“What a great gift.”

After completing the first stage of the task, the amount of fame required for the second stage will also be clearly displayed in the system.

[The amount of fame required for the second stage: 500,000]

【Time limit: nine months】

The production time of Sister Not Sister was about four months, but that is a special situation that is hard to find even in the entire industry today, and the production period is so short that it cannot be more outrageous.

In fact, the healthiest production period for an animation is about seven to nine months. Although most animation production periods in the industry cannot reach such a healthy level, it does convey the true requirements of the second phase of the task.

Achieve the required fame points of 500,000 by producing an animation.

This point coincides with Sato Yu's idea.

There is an absolute ceiling for the fame points that an artist can obtain, and that ceiling is only two or three levels high at most. It is impossible for him to help Sato Yu complete a five-stage series of fame points tasks, where the amount of fame points required each time may have to be doubled tenfold.

In order to complete the task, it is necessary to become an animation supervisor, which is theoretically possible.

From this perspective, giving him the experience of being a supervisor at this time may be the system's way of guiding him onto the right path.

Sato Yu suddenly felt more grateful to the system.

In addition, what made him even more pleased was the experience and skills related to storyboard production that came with the supervisory work experience.

The animation director is the key person in coordinating an animation, and his most critical task is to draw storyboards, which means that all the pictures in the animation can actually be seen as the embodiment of the supervisor's will.

Storyboards are a combination of story, drawing skills and imagination.

Although there are three elements, fundamentally speaking, painting skills are not that important and can even be eliminated.

The storyboard only needs to be understandable to people, so that the artists who are actually responsible for refining and completing the original painting can understand what kind of picture they want to create. So even if the whole picture is full of matchstick men, it is a good storyboard as long as it can clearly express the meaning.

The story is usually written by the script, and the requirements for supervision itself are not high. What is most important is imagination and what kind of expression can be made through supervision.

For example, the protagonist encounters danger and fights off the enemy, randomly swings a tortoise punch to repel the enemy and roots him under his feet, or swings a heavy punch with bulging veins to show smooth muscle lines and the beauty of the human body, and blasts the enemy into the wall with full skill. These two kinds of screen shots give the audience completely different impressions.

In this regard in the animation industry, the most representative one is JOJO. Its unique battle scenes and JOJO characters with full artistic tension are well received. Although its story is also wonderful, if the storyboard does not have unique tension, the picture effect will certainly be much weaker and its reputation will certainly drop a lot.

People often comment on some comics like this: the teacher's character design and drawing skills are impeccable, but it's a pity that the storyboards are bad and there is not much creativity, so it can only be a good work.

So, for animation, storyboards are really the soul of the art.

As early as when drawing the storyboard for the last episode of Sister Not Sister, Sato Yu realized:

As a novelist in his previous life, he had all kinds of ideas in his head that went beyond the development of entertainment in this era. It was more than capable of him coming up with a story on his own. However, when it came to storyboarding, he, a half-baked artist who relied on cheats to draw but actually had no outstanding imagination, was really incapable of doing so.

Now, the appearance of this memory has completely made up for this shortcoming, allowing him to write stories and tell them better through animation.

Today, with his superb drawing skills combined with his storyboard creativity, he might really be called the "perfect daily life animation director"!

Finally, it’s the third reward.

With a faint expectation in his heart, and praying devoutly that it would be what he hoped for, Sato Yu swallowed his saliva and clicked it.

"To this day you are still my light"

At the moment of clicking, the system interface exploded with golden light, making Sato Yu temporarily lost, but at this time, the cell phone rang.

When Sato Yu took the phone and saw the contact [Chiharu Oda] displayed on it, his heart skipped a beat.

"Hello? Oda-chan..."

"Sato! Sato Sato Sato! You, you you you listen to me, that just now, that is..."

Before he could even say hello, Chiharu Oda, the usually gentle, virtuous and polite nurse, interrupted him loudly. She was extremely emotional, repeating herself over and over again and stumbling over her words, which made Sato Yuu imagine the anxious look of the nurse on the other end of the phone.

Sato Yu hurriedly calmed her down.

"Don't be anxious, take your time to tell me what's going on."

"Sato! Just now...just now the test results of Qiong came out!

It's really good, it's great. The surgery and chemotherapy must have worked. The cancer has clearly advanced to stage three, but Qiong's physical condition has suddenly improved. The doctor said it was a miracle. Maybe Qiong really has a chance to be cured...

Hiss, hiss~ Did you know? The deterioration of the condition caused by stopping treatment midway has been completely curbed. The examination report shows that Qiong's physical condition is even better than when he was discharged from the hospital a few months ago!"

She was crying with joy. On the other end of the phone, an overly happy Oden Chiharu was reporting the good news and she couldn't stop crying.

“Hahaha…”

A miracle is happening under the influence of some great power.

He was so silly that he could not hear Chiharu Oden's subsequent words and sobs. All the strength in his body was drained. He lay on his back on the ground with an silly smile. Sato Yu felt like he was floating in a ball of cotton.

Volume 74: Chapter Chapter . Heart-stirring

It was the first to be broadcast and ended relatively early. A few days after the completion of the animation "Sister Not Sister" was the festival, the New Year's Day in Japan.

Because the system rewarded him with a bank card to help him solve his current financial difficulties, on this special day of transition from the old to the new year, Sato You was finally able to prepare a very generous gift for Qiong - an expensive, high-quality, thickened kimono.

Previous examinations found that Qiong's health had improved, so the hospital relaxed restrictions on her travel and allowed her to travel at night.

They agreed to set out for the Meiji Jingu Shrine Hatsumode on New Year's Eve, which is December 31st. Sato Yu wanted Qiong to dress beautifully.

The intention was good, but when the gift was given, it was unexpectedly disliked by Qiong, the girl who loved beauty and cared most about her appearance.

"Brother, you're wasting money again!"

"It's okay. Brother will take care of the money. We only visit the shrine once a year, so we must make sure our daughter looks beautiful when she goes out."

"You know it's just this once, but you still have to buy such expensive clothes!"

"..."

Qiong was so angry that it took a long time of coaxing to calm the girl down. Seeing that she still had a cold face but glanced at the kimono, and then the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, she looked so cute. Sato You felt warm in her heart and was full of joy.

Afterwards, he suffered another heart-wrenching blow from his own sweet little girl.

"Brother, you've been spending money lavishly lately. Did you do something bad? Did you get cheated by a rich woman..."

"no!"

"Is it Supervisor Mochizuki?"

"Really not, really not!"

The clothes she wore were from Japan's top luxury brand Issey Miyake, her handbag was Chanel, and her high heels were Rene Caovilla.

Although she was overwhelmed and stuck in the quagmire because of the Sister-Not-Sister animation project, in fact, even a girl like Qiong who was not very worldly-wise could see that Mochizuki Nanae was very rich, or her family was very rich.

When guessing who was sponsoring the brother, the first thing he did was to guess that his brother might have fallen into the financial trap of Mochizuki Nanae.

This really made Sato Yuu laugh and cry, and after denying it repeatedly, he couldn't help but mutter and complain.

"Why do you have the same reaction as Ms. Sugino?"

A few days ago, when he got the bank card and went to pay back the money to Sugino Miki in person, the older sister who was too greedy and too charming frowned and looked up and down at his handsome appearance, and asked questions repeatedly with a panic-stricken look as if her favorite thing was secretly taken away by someone.

"You're suddenly paying me back. Sato, are you being kept by a rich woman?"

"No, it's just..."

"Supervisor Mochizuki?"

"That's not true!"

So, this is the second conversation.

The only thing that JK director Mochizuki Nanae likes is anime, so why do I feel that she has a crush on me? Sato Yuu can't understand the brain circuits of these women and can't help but complain that they are too love-brained.

While he was complaining in his heart, the beautiful nurse Chiharu Oeda walked in and quickly grabbed Sato Yu and threw him out of the ward.

When the ward door was opened, the only person who came out was Chiharu Oda.

"Qiong, why are you so shy? You are so beautiful, come out quickly, your brother is craning his neck in anticipation."

Because of her illness, she couldn't use too much makeup. It took Qiong a long time to dress up carefully. Logically, she should be happy to show her to her brother, but at this moment, for some reason, the girl half covered her face with shyness. It took Chiharu Oda to urge her again and again, and finally he went into the ward and pulled her out.

"Sister Chiharu, don't, I..."

Being pushed out timidly, Qiong anxiously pressed down the wig on her head.

The girl was delicate and sensitive. She had been pretending not to care about the fact that all her hair had been shaved off due to an operation. However, when she wore a suitable wig and had thick black hair again, she became so concerned that tears welled up in her eyes and almost fell down.

"so beautiful."

A warm compliment calmed Sato Yuu's flustered heart.

"My brother will always say it looks good no matter what."

"Sincere."

"When have you ever not been sincere? Anyway, as long as it's me..."

Feeling awkward and refuting, Qiong became more and more confident.

Yes, Sato Yu always says that she is pretty, and every time it is from the heart, so there is no need to be afraid. The wig is fake, so this disguised beauty will not disturb the true love of her brother.

"Today is truly more beautiful than any other day."

The originally pale cheeks were powdered and looked rosy like a healthy girl. Her makeup skills were far superior to those of the little girl Qiong. In addition, Chiharu Oda used her magical skills to perfectly help Qiong cover the dark circles and fatigue under her eyes.

Qiong's eyes were as bright as usual. The bright red kimono was elegant and luxurious, wrapping her slender figure tightly. Her watery eyes were blinking. For a moment, she looked as youthful and energetic as a young girl of marriageable age, and she was radiant and charming.

With her long hair draped over her shoulders, everyone would praise her as a beautiful girl. Maybe she would participate in a beauty pageant and win the title of the cutest high school student in Japan.

"hey-hey."

But when she heard the praise, she chuckled and her fingers unconsciously twirled the hair on the side of her neck, but Qiong's smile was still forced.

No matter how beautiful it is, it is fake after all.

It is precisely because of this that she is ashamed to meet her dearest brother.

"..."

He clearly didn't understand why Sugino Miki and Qiong felt that Mochizuki Nanae was attracted to him, but at this time, Sato Yuu was surprisingly thoughtful and could see it at a glance, and even guessed the grief in Qiong's heart.

Knowing that no matter how much he said, it would not dispel the cowardice caused by Qiong's illness, Sato Yu could only promise in his heart:

The false beauty of today will surely become true in the future.

"Well, let's go and have a nice meal first!"

"Wait a minute, Chiharu-nee will be off work soon, do you want to join us for worship?"

The most important New Year's visit of the year may also be your last...

Deep down, Qiong must have wanted to have her favorite Onii-chan all to herself, but before leaving, she still invited Chiharu Oden.

It seems that she really wants to have him all to herself, and her invitation to Chiharu Oda was also sincere.

"I really want to go to the shrine with Qiong and your brother, but my parents are still waiting at home. I have to go back and watch the Red and White Song Contest with them and celebrate the New Year together."

Subconsciously glancing at Sato Yuu, Oden Chiharu was quite tempted, but unfortunately her parents at home were indeed very important to her. She bit her lip and finally had to refuse.

So, the brother and sister still went to the shrine together. When they were about to say goodbye, Sato Yu was stopped by Oden Chiharu.

"The makeup is almost done, I think you should do it, Satou."

As she spoke, Chiharu Oda handed a lipstick to Sato Yuu.

Yes, there were dark circles under his eyes and pale cheeks. Chiharu Oden took great effort to cover them up for Qiong, but only Qiong's thin lips were still a little pale, waiting for his dearest brother to touch them up personally.

Having never put on makeup or lipstick before, Sato You was afraid that failure would ruin Qiong's rare beauty tonight, so she could only work harder.
