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

But if you sincerely express your love for her original paintings, the ice and snow will melt, and people will be overjoyed.

Although the reason was ridiculous, Mochizuki Nanae was indeed moved by Sato Yu's ridiculous reason.

Maybe it’s because Mei Fei Mei did such a terrible job that she has long forgotten how it feels to be recognized?

In short, it was impossible and should not be done to hand over the storyboards that she was responsible for to others, but at the moment she was still very shaken.

"Just... just for this reason, don't expect me to give you the storyboard."

She spoke viciously, but her mind was thinking the opposite. Mochizuki Nanae's eyes were wandering, she turned her face away, and she said awkward words, making it impossible to "see" that she was moved.

At least Sato Yu didn't notice.

He didn't realize that his words had accidentally touched the softest corner of Mochizuki Nanae's heart. He just thought that the blush on her face was the blush of anger and indignation. He smiled bitterly, thinking that it was just as he expected, and then he elaborated on other reasons.

Some objective reasons.

"But the director has indeed not yet completed the production of those cards."

"......Yes."

Sato Yu's "cold" words brought the dizzy Mochizuki Nanae back to the hard and desolate ground again.

The broadcast date was clearly approaching, but she had not yet completed the production of those cards. In fact, she had not even finished drawing the content of one card.

A new supervisor, two old hands who are just going through the motions, and a bunch of new original artists.

The only one who can or is willing to take the lead is Nanae Mochizuki. Unlike other production teams that have producers, deputy supervisors, senior original artists and other capable assistants to help share the burden, the production team of "Mei Fei Mei" can be said to be almost solely carried forward by Nanae Mochizuki.

Storyboarding, supervision, revision, networking, contacting outsourcing companies, voice actor dubbing supervision, asking for work from others...

Due to the poor performance of other people in the production team, Nanae Mochizuki had to get involved, whether it was her job or work that the supervisor should not be responsible for.

They are busy every day, and in their free time they have to deal with the original drawings of newcomers in the team, as well as a large number of original drawings of varying quality sent by outsourcing companies, which they have to check and correct one by one to prevent any major painting accidents that would cause further criticism from netizens.

It's just one person, one person's energy, one person's time. It's already amazing that Nanae Mochizuki can maintain the animation production until now without completely collapsing. Let her take time out to draw original paintings or something...

In fact, before Sato Yu asked, Mochizuki Nanae had already thought about entrusting this part of the key original paintings to others countless times, but the number of cards that had not been issued was too large, and everyone who could ask had already asked.

It's just that my pride got in the way...

"Director, you don't actually have enough time to complete that crucial ten-card shot. Have some leeway and confidence."

Sato Yu mercilessly pointed out what Mochizuki Nanae had known in her heart for a long time but had never been willing to admit.

Faced with the increasingly silent JK supervisor, Sato Yu did not show any mercy, but continued to advance.

“The pile of stick drawings sent back by the outsourcing company need to be corrected, the thirty cards of shots need to be asked for by others, and there are also subsequent storyboards. On the day I left, it seemed that you were still drawing the storyboard for the sixth episode.

The storyboard progress is seriously behind schedule, right? Is this really okay? Even if we finish the fourth episode, we might collapse by the fifth and sixth episodes. Can you really complete all this as a supervisor alone?"

"Of course! So what if it can't be completed? So what if it can't be completed?!"

Every word was true, and every word was like a sharp sword piercing Mochizuki Nanae's heart, and like a mountain pressing down on Mochizuki Nanae.

Being oppressed to the point of being unable to breathe, Mochizuki Nanae's chest trembled violently, her emotions were slightly out of control, and she roared at Sato Yu.

In response to this, Sato Yu just spoke calmly and gently.

"So just let me take charge of the most important and time-consuming work. Although I'm not as good as Director Mochizuki, I'm the person you trust the most in this production team, right?"

Faced with a crappy plan, a shitty animation, and overwhelming ridicule on the Internet, not many people can remain calm and remember their original intentions.

There are only two special people in the entire production team, one is Nanae Mochizuki, and the other is Sato Yuu who made animations only for his sister in the past.

Although there was no verbal expression, but by reviewing his memory, Sato You easily discovered that Mochizuki Nanae had always treated Sato You differently and always entrusted him with the most important tasks.

For example, drawing erotic pictures.

In the second episode, Sato Yu was responsible for several erotic shots, which were shameful and embarrassing scenes, but in fact, they were also the few scenes in this crappy animation that could retain the audience.

When the plot and the painting are not good, the only option is to sell sex, and the only option is to exchange self-esteem for ratings.

The animation is not good but at least there are some large-scale erotic pictures to watch. You can take a look at them when you have nothing to do.

It's sad, but in a way, the shots that Sato Yuu was responsible for in the animation might be more important than those that Mochizuki Nanae was responsible for.

"So just give that set of shots to me. Even though it may not be outstanding, it will definitely be presentable. Director Mochizuki, who draws faster and has the power to change the storyboards, will be responsible for clearing the thirty cards that have not been issued. This is the most efficient action and the best solution for the current situation."

"The best solution..."

After the hesitation, there was an even more intense hesitation. Although she had selfish motives, every word Sato Yu said really hit the pain points and the key points of the current situation. She really needed to free herself from the meticulous painting work and work more efficiently.

Muttering the words she heard from Sato Yu, Mochizuki Nanae clenched her fists even tighter, completely exposing her hesitation and vulnerability.

Meifeimei's animation production is indeed too tiring and painful, and she really needs someone with strong enough ability to help her share the burden...

Finally, she was persuaded.

"I'll give you that set of shots, but if you..."

"Then please exact the most severe revenge on me and hunt me down to the ends of the earth."

There was no need for Mochizuki Nanae to threaten her again. Sato Yu responded to her words directly. Although he said very scary things, he smiled calmly, and his handsome face that resembled Hu Ge made people feel itchy.

It also caused Mochizuki Nanae and Sugino Miki to be stunned for a moment.

Fighting for his sister's future and snatching food from the tiger's mouth, Sato Yu was indeed prepared to be brutally retaliated by the furious Mochizuki Nanae.

Now, the man's eyes were shining with a more determined light than anyone else's.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Her face turned even redder and puffed up, and Mochizuki Nanae screamed in despair as she ran to her desk, pulled out the drawings she had just drawn from the bag full of drawings on the table, and threw them all over Sato Yu.

She pushed Sato Yu and Sugino Miki out of the office and screamed madly.

"Now, get out of here and get to work!"

Volume 15: Chapter Chapter . Changes

Just kick him out of the office, why is his face still so red?

Holding the storyboard that Nanae Mochizuki gave him in his arms, his mind was still on the red face of this JK director when she pushed him out of the door and then struggled to close it. He always felt that it was not due to anger but some other emotion at work. However, he could not think of what specific emotion it was. Sato Yu tilted his head and scratched the back of his head blankly.

Compared to Sato Yu's stupidity, the other person who participated in the incident from beginning to end, production manager Ms. Miki Sugino, seemed even more stupid.

Having witnessed so many scary and strange things, she now just feels her head buzzing.

As soon as he returned, he snatched food from the supervisor's mouth and successfully persuaded her...

In a short period of time, her mood seemed to be on a roller coaster, rising and falling repeatedly between extremely highs and lows. Then she cast her eyes on Sato Yu, who was still happily preparing to return to his workstation as if nothing had happened, and she subconsciously said what was in her heart.

"I always feel like Sato-kun is different than before."

"where?"

"I've become more handsome... well, I just feel that in terms of temperament and aura..."

There is always something ambiguous when a woman compliments a man on his handsomeness. She realized this the moment she said it, her face turned a little pink, and she gesticulated and tried to explain that she didn't mean that, but it only made things more obvious.

Only then did I take a more careful look at this production lady who had an outstanding figure but ordinary looks. She looked shy but actually quite cute, except that her bangs and the old-fashioned black-framed glasses overshadowed her looks. If she changed her hairstyle, she would probably be quite stunning.

As for the change, the Sato Yuto in the past was dull and had little social experience. He could not compare to the Sato Yu today, who would immediately make careful plans and courageously execute once a clear goal was set. It is natural that he has a different temperament and aura than before.

That being said, it’s still nice to be recognized by someone in person.

Sato Yu put two fingers on his forehead and raised his eyebrows at Sugino Miki in a cool manner, and smiled refreshingly.

"Thank you."

After saying that, he turned away. Hearing Sugino Miki muttering "So handsome" behind him, the corners of his mouth raised a little, and Sato You returned to the workstation he remembered.

"Welcome back, Sato-kun."

"We must work harder to make up for the progress we lost during the two days of rest."

Sato Yu's workstation is at the end of a row of workbenches, and on his left and right are two new original artists, Ryunosuke Hamanishi and Hiromi Amaeyama, a man and a woman, who are being hired for the first time.

Being of similar age, the relationship between the three of them was pretty good in the past. Now seeing him come back, Hamanishi Ryunosuke gave him a thumbs up with a big smile on his face, showing a row of white teeth, looking very cheerful. On the other side, Amayayama Hiromi, who was painting at his desk, said to him to work harder without even raising his head, seemingly with some resentment.

Not taking the resentment to heart, Sato Yu briefly greeted the two of them, then opened the file and carefully studied the storyboard he had requested.

This is a storyboard from 13:45 to 14:30 of the fourth episode of the animation "Mei Fei Mei".

The first thirteen minutes of this episode roughly tells the story of how the protagonist, Yuu Nagami, won the light novel award on behalf of his sister, and another beautiful girl writer Toru Himuro noticed this and became deeply suspicious. In order to dispel this suspicion, his sister Ryoka Nagami prepared to date the protagonist in order to make Toru Himuro believe that the protagonist is a sister complex.

Well, in fact, the younger sister really wanted to be close to her brother, so she used this incident as an excuse to cover up her true feelings. It was a very girlish move, and it was also a cute move that touched the hearts of the audience who were taking a bird's eye view.

At this point, the next part that Sato Yuu is going to draw is the part where the younger sister Nagami Ryoka gets dressed up to go out, and shows her affection to the male protagonist Nagami Yuu who is waiting at the door, in front of the second female lead Himuro Toru who is hiding behind a telephone pole.

"As expected, we still need to change the storyboard."

After carefully reading the storyboard, Sato Yu rubbed his eyebrows, sighed, and said to himself.

The little sister showed extreme cuteness when she went out, and instantly fascinated the male protagonist. In joy and entanglement, she hugged her brother's arm and showed a touching shyness, which also fascinated the audience...

Even though it was clear that this segment would be outstanding if it could produce such an effect, for the sake of the overall coordination of the series and the construction period, Mochizuki Nanae did not choose to show off her skills, but instead drew a relatively plain and simple storyboard that was not overly time-consuming.

It did make the most reasonable and efficient choice under the current circumstances, but it was completely contrary to Sato Yu's own ideas and interests.

She had to completely abandon the storyboards drawn by Nanae Mochizuki and fill these forty-five seconds according to her own ideas, presenting her sister's beauty, completeness and perfection to the audience, even if the overly brilliant pictures completely destroyed the coordination of the entire episode.

No, it would be better to say that the coordination should be completely destroyed.

Fighting to stand out from the crowd! This is how Sato Yuu named the first step of his plan to save his sister.

After three episodes of preparation, the animation "Sister, Not Sister" has deeply implanted its poverty, collapse and fun attributes into the minds of viewers.

When everyone has no expectations for this series at all, and suddenly a segment of characters with exquisite and smooth movements appears in the poor and crude animation, and the high-quality footage is high enough to be included in a collection of paintings, how will everyone react?

"It should be quite explosive."

Thinking about the audience's reaction at that time, he couldn't help but feel secretly excited and looking forward to it, Sato You smiled and said to himself, just like when he was creating extremely tense novel plots in the past.

Contrast.

Even after changing his career to the animation industry, his past experience in creating light novels still helped Sato Yuu, allowing him to clearly understand the best way to arouse the audience's emotions, and to know more clearly how to play with the audience's emotions to maximize the appeal.

That is the contrast, the reversal at the darkest moment, at the most desperate and helpless moment, reversing the situation in the most refreshing way, sweeping away the oppressive feeling built up in the past dozens of chapters in an instant, leading the audience's emotions from the lowest point to the climax quickly and completing the realization of the sense of satisfaction.

This is the most core way to make the plot of a novel popular.

This method is applicable everywhere. If you want to gain fame in the shortest time, this is the shortest and fastest shortcut.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. The poverty and badness of "Mei Fei Mei" have been widely known and accepted by the audience. They may not know how good the quality of this season's best show is, but they have definitely heard of the badness of "Mei Fei Mei" and find it a joke.

This is a bad thing, but it is a great thing for Sato Yu, and it is the most critical factor for him to choose the track of "Sister but Not Sister" when he returned to the animation industry.

Because of the blindly playing badly, the powerful force that the contrast may bring has accumulated in the hearts of the audience. Now all it takes is for Sato Yu to drop the bomb to easily reap it and gain a lot of fame.

However, although this is the theory, it is difficult to actually do it.

Compared to using bombs to detonate emotions, how to make such a bomb is the most basic and important link.

With the painting skills honed in just two years, can a new artist create an original painting that is eye-catching and leaves a deep impression on people?

Of course not, at least not the Sato Yu in the past.

But as production manager Miki Sugino whispered, Sato Yuu has become much more handsome now.

The moment I touched the paintbrush, all kinds of thoughts came to my mind, as if a god had appeared.

"Ah."

Sato Yu chuckled contentedly.

He knew that the talents bestowed upon him by the system were already taking effect.

Volume 16: Chapter Chapter . Isn’t it natural to get off work on time?

Even in the animation industry, which emphasizes teamwork and interpersonal relationships and where individual efforts cannot determine the final outcome, strength is still the most important and core reliance if you want to become famous.

It doesn’t matter if you have no money or power. Only if you are strong enough will others look up to you and give you more opportunities to show your drawings to others.

Regarding this point, even Sato Yuu, who was equipped with the "Cat Guest" system, was clear about it.

It is too difficult for a new artist who has no one to rely on and has only been in the animation industry for two years to gain 50,000 points of fame within two months, and it is even more unrealistic for him to accomplish the subsequent serial tasks.

Therefore, the system endowed him with corresponding talents and gave him the initial capital to realize all his wishes.

The brush just touches the paper and just draws a line, and then how to write will naturally emerge in the mind, and the effect of the final picture can be miraculously predicted.

It is not a superpower, but an instinct engraved in the body of an original artist. It is the flower of sweat and crystal of tears that bloom on the tip of paper after an original artist's twenty years of painting experience.
