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

For all these reasons, Sato Yu originally thought that the experience and reputation he had accumulated in the production of the animation "Sisters and Sisters" was enough to secure him a supervisory position.

But in fact, it has been nearly a week since the New Year holiday, and Sato Yu has visited all major companies, but he has encountered obstacles everywhere.

Youth, the fundamental asset that made Sato Yuu amazing to the world, has now become the biggest obstacle in his job search.

Even if the girl-not-girl miracle is shocking and brilliant, it is still not reassuring to let a 19-year-old rookie artist be the supervisor.

After visiting several companies, when the producers in charge of the contact heard that Sato Yu was interested in participating in the animation project, their smiles were all raised to the sky and they were almost dancing with joy. Most of them said that you can choose any card you want, the treatment will definitely be favorable, and you are also very welcome if you want to do the original drawing again.

But when Sato Yu proposed to be the supervisor, all these producers looked hesitant, evaded the question and kept painting big rosy pictures for him.

The next project that our company is going to carry out is excellent. It is a high-quality original work, an adaptation of a popular light novel, and a sequel to a well-received work. We will definitely not treat you unfairly if you come. We will give you a lot of benefits, but we will not mention the supervisory position that Sato Yu really cares about.

Some were even more forthright and honest:

“We have all witnessed your past achievements, which are indeed excellent. However, an animation involves a huge amount of resources. It is not only about reputation, but also may be related to the survival of the animation company. We cannot take risks in such an important position as a supervisor, so we cannot hire a rookie like you.

Yes, everyone knows that you have a promising future, but you have to proceed step by step. If you want to become a supervisor, you still need to gain experience for a few more years."

Sato Yu did not blame the companies for rejecting him. Unlike his appearance, he was not the young man who would get angry when his talent was not appreciated. He naturally knew that the companies had carefully considered the matter and rejected him for their own reasons, which was why he said those words.

Before this, the youngest director in the industry was Nanae Mochizuki, who had been in the industry for seven years and was only 25 years old.

And Sato Yu, he is only nineteen years old... Oh, it's been a year, he is twenty years old.

It is not easy for such a person, who wants to follow the traditional rules of Japan in just one episode of "Zhi Mei Fei Mei", to be recognized by the animation industry, which also values ​​qualifications, and to take the risk of hiring him as a supervisor. It is better to say that Sato Yu is simply forcing him.

But this is really the only thing he can do.

It has been fifteen days since the last episode of Sister Is Not Sister was broadcast. In half a month, the fame value that could be absorbed has basically been absorbed, and it is no longer growing rapidly.

The final number was just over 120,000, far exceeding the 50,000 required for the first stage, but it was still a long way from the 500,000 required to complete the second stage.

The final episode of Sister Not Sister, which took into account all the contrast power accumulated by the animation over the past three months, caused a sensation in the circle, but that was the end of it.

As an artist, this is about the limit of the fame he can achieve. If he wants to seek further improvement and a stage-by-stage leap, there is no other way except to become a supervisor.

So at this point, Sato Yu was completely in trouble.

"Are we really going back to P8, or taking over the one produced by Tezuka Production? No, no!"

The talented young man wanted to prove himself, wanted to become the protagonist, created an animation to become a god, and two animations became a feat for the supervisor.

In recent days, Sato Yu's job hunting activities have attracted the attention of some animation companies.

It seems that P8 and Tezuka Production have already extended olive branches to Sato Yu.

As for P8, it is the company that knows best what kind of feat Sato Yu has accomplished in the production of the "Sister Non-Sister" animation, and how hard he has worked to demonstrate his ultimate Palu qualities.

At the same time, they have been having fun by playing badly. They take on several light adaptations every quarter, and then they are steadily bad. They are not afraid of ruining their reputation by hiring a newcomer, Sato Yu, as the supervisor, because they are the most notorious company in the industry with a bad reputation. During this period, they were the most attentive to Sato Yu.

But attitude is one thing, money and time are another. Sato Yu has seen the plan given by him. The original work is quite good, but the duration, funds, and composition of the production team...

Emmm, for such a film "Sister, Not Sister Plus" with a slightly better situation, Sato Yu can only spread his hands and say - whoever does it is stupid, except for Nanae Mochizuki who is crazy about animation.

The other company, Tezuka Production, was larger than P8, and the fact that they showed their intention to hire him as a supervisor surprised Sato Yuu.

After all, the animation production of this company has always been stable, and the construction period and personnel composition are reliable. If he is given enough autonomy to make animations, he may be able to complete the fame value task.

Although it is not too big, it is better than not being able to even supervise and not being able to find a glimmer of hope.

But in the end, after detailed negotiations, Sato Yu returned home disappointed.

Tezuka Production has already decided on the next project and cannot let Sato Yuu do the original animation. At the same time, the confirmed project also makes Sato Yuu very upset.

"The Dawn of Magic".

The original work of the project is a light novel, and it is also a sequel to the previously successful animation "Grimoire: Re:Zero - Starting Life" set in the same world.

At first glance, with the support of Tezuka Productions, this anime has a chance of success, and if it can surpass its predecessor, it will be a great benefit.

But in fact, after roughly reading the original work, Sato Yu completely realized what a chocolate-flavored reply this was, what a time mine it was.

In terms of the story, judging from Sato Yu, the former novel author who has countless good ideas in his mind, the story of the previous animation work "Re:Zero - Starting Grimoire" is average. The main reason why it received good reviews is the beautiful love story between the heroine "Zero" and the furry half-orc bear mercenary.

It can be said that the animation is rated eight points, seven of which are for the sweetness of the love between the male and female protagonists.

This is the foundation of the animation, but in the sequel "The Ancient Magus Dawn", not only did they use a new male protagonist, Seville, but they also broke up the CP of the previous male and female protagonists Zero and the mercenary, and made "Zero" kiss the new protagonist Seville!

No matter what the reason is, such an outrageous Minotaur plot is undoubtedly pouring shit into the audience's mouths!

Sato Yu thought that if he accepted it, he would be able to achieve a fame score of 500,000 within a day or two after the kissing episode was broadcast, and then, all subsequent fame score tasks would absolutely not be possible to complete.

He couldn't bear the bad reputation of being a shit-feeding supervisor. He had to complete the five-stage fame mission and couldn't afford to fail here.

"So, after all, I still have to reject Tezuka Production. Phew, let's try again, try to negotiate again, and see if I can make it original."

“If you can’t be original, then…”

Frowning and muttering to himself, Sato Yu looked at the drawing spread out on the table, which was the new weapon he had prepared in order to win the position of supervisor.

"Can I just waste some time?"

He drummed his fingers as he fell deeper into thought.

ding dong~

Doorbell rang.

Volume 77: Chapter Chapter . Full Moon Goddess

It's already eight o'clock in the evening. Who would come at this time?

Landlady? It is indeed time to pay the rent these days.

Miki Sugino?

The favor of helping him solve a crisis caused by a work error in the past was especially remembered. Ever since she knew his home address, the beautiful production manager would visit him frequently, sometimes bringing him snacks, sometimes homemade meals and chatting with him for a long time.

There is some possibility, but it is a bit too late at this point, and she probably won't come to visit.

As he walked along, he was guessing in his heart. When Sato You opened the door, he saw a rare guest he had never expected.

"Supervision?"

"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. I happened to be nearby when I was doing some work, so..."

When the door was pushed open, Mochizuki Nanae seemed to be tidying up her long hair that was messed up by the wind. After seeing Sato Yu, she immediately stopped, blushed for the excuse she hurriedly made, and tightened her body, being unexpectedly a little restrained.

She must be not used to going to a man's house, especially arriving at a man's door at such a night.

"This is a souvenir, please accept it. I also bought two pieces of Taiyaki on the street just now."

After handing over the thing in her hand, Mochizuki Nanae's face became even more rosy.

"It's still cold outside, come in and warm yourself up."

The location is different after all, and it's not like being in the company. Standing in front of the house, the atmosphere between the two people always adds a bit of ambiguity, and there is awkwardness in their words and expressions.

After taking the gift bag handed over by Mochizuki Nanae, Sato Yu hurriedly welcomed her into the house.

"No need to change your shoes, just come in like this."

"Is Sato actually living in a place like this?"

"It's a little crude, don't laugh at me."

"No, no, I was just expressing my feelings. But it's really neat. Did someone help you clean it?"

It has to be said that Japanese girls are really willing to sacrifice themselves for beauty. In the very cold weather after the holiday, Mochizuki Nanae was still wearing tight black stockings under her coat. She came into the room and knelt beside the kotatsu with a dignified manner. Her carefully dressed face was even more captivating under the bright light. Her crystal earrings were sparkling, which dazzled Sato Yu for a moment.

While Sato Yu was being misled by the beauty, she also looked around the furnishings in the house and made some tentative remarks in her words.

My sister went to the hospital, but the house was still so clean. Was there a woman coming to visit? Was that woman Miki Sugino?

They are clearly the closest of besties, but regarding their interactions with Sato Yu, both of them kept their mouths shut and deliberately refused to mention anything. If you want to know the inside story, you have to test them in person like this.

But he was not so thoughtful. Sato Yuu was unaware of Mochizuki Nanae's little thoughts. He just smiled happily and replied:

“My sister would conduct video inspections of our home and sometimes she would conduct surprise inspections, so I had to keep it clean at all times.”

"Everything is caused by my younger sister. She is in charge!"

"That's right!"

In response to Mochizuki Nanae's teasing, Sato Yu responded loudly and proudly.

Yes, he is like this, everything is centered around his sister, he is a sister-governed person.

In this case, what else can I say about this sister complex? I can only smile.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head. When Sato Yu got up and went to the kitchen to get the sizzling kettle to make tea for her, Mochizuki Nanae's attention fell on the half-finished painting on the table.

"Is this, drawing a comic?"

"Ah."

"Want to switch careers and become a cartoonist?"

Mochizuki Nanae's voice became tense.

She knew that her sister's condition had improved, and now that there was hope of a cure, that was the moment when Sato Yu needed money the most.

Compared to anime, if you can become famous, being a cartoonist can indeed make you more money faster. Weighing the two aspects, if there are no other [special factors] affecting you, it is indeed a better choice for Sato Yu to join the comics industry.

Then, she immediately considered the treatment and salary she could give to Sato Yu, and she clenched her hands, sweating a little.

"No, I'll probably only draw this one."

If he could gain fame points, it seemed that he could become a cartoonist or animator, but the system was an animation master system, and the two consecutive rewards were both animation-related technologies. After thinking it over, Sato Yu felt that it would be safer to continue with animation production.

As for why he suddenly started drawing comics during this period, it was an unconventional trick he came up with.

In fact, all animation companies coveted his drawing ability, and the reason they rejected him as a supervisor was because the final episode of the Sister, Not Sister, which he was previously responsible for, looked bluffing, but people in the industry could see after studying it that his storyboard was not good.

This is true, but now with the rewards given by the system, everything is different.

Of course, he has to display this talent and make it visible to others before it can be realized.

Things like storyboards are actually similar to comics. If the storyboard design in comics is excellent, the animation will naturally not be bad, and this may gain more favor.

Therefore, the idea of ​​drawing a comic book as a stepping stone came into being naturally.

The publication of comics can not only be used as a stepping stone, but also can increase his fame and attract people who are more interested in comics rather than animation to pay attention to him. It is killing two birds with one stone and cannot be regarded as a waste of time. No matter how you think about it, it will be of great benefit to his future.

"Child protagonist? A love story of growing up together? The painting style is very beautiful. Sato's paintings are really great."

They were obsessed with painting, and after working together for several months, their relationship had long since transcended that of ordinary friends. Mochizuki Nanae was not shy about it and picked up the drawing and started to comment on it without permission, regardless of whether it was rude or not.

"We only have oolong tea at home, so we'll have to make do with this."

"It's ok."

My sister is still to be saved. The self-esteem of a writer and the pride of a creator are nothing compared to fame and mission, and to Qiong's health.

Sato Yu does not shy away from plagiarism. What he draws is a medium-length comic that had a great influence in the previous life. Although he only started drawing recently, and only drew about 20 pictures including storyboard conception and painting, it already shows some special colors, especially attracting women with delicate minds.

By the time Sato Yu poured the tea and brought it to Mochizuki Nanae, she had already looked inside and responded to his questions casually.

Soon, Mochizuki Nanae's mind broke away from the comics. She pouted, her eyes flickered, and she looked a little sad.

There is no other reason, the comic has no sequel.

"I was just fascinated by it..."

"That's all I have, what do you think?"

"The painting style is very clean. In the description and portrayal of characters, Sato, you are always so outstanding, so amazing that it makes people jealous. And as for the story, is it a relatively peaceful story? It is very comfortable to read, but there are too few words. I haven't made a more specific evaluation yet.

Then there is the storyboard...

You are very steady and experienced, just like a veteran cartoonist. The storyboards for the final chapter of Sister Not Sister were also drawn by you, but the difference between them is visible to the naked eye.

Logically speaking, you wouldn't be perfunctory, which means... you've only been studying for such a short time, have you improved so much in storyboarding?"

monster.

With a frown on her face, Mochizuki Nanae's lips moved without making a sound, but Sato Yu could roughly guess her inner thoughts and read her mouth shape, knowing that she was muttering these two words.

Is it open?

Sato You was not so shameless as to say such things, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Then he changed the subject, or rather, got down to business.

"Come to think of it, what's the important matter that made the supervisor come to see me so late at night?"
