"In my experience, as long as you use having a job as an excuse, it's very easy to take three days off in a row."

"Rejected. If you dare to lie and skip class, I'll tell your parents and they'll ban you from being a voice actor."

"Wujing-jun is a devil! How could he treat his lovely little sister like this?"

Karasuma Gosho ignored his noisy sister and turned to the other three, saying in a deep voice:

"The firm's recruitment fair is scheduled for next Tuesday. I'll try to get the publicity sorted out before then. Do the three of you want to come with me to the recruitment fair?"

"No problem! (X3)"

Chapter Nineteen: He wanted to know where his resentment came from.

On a late June afternoon, the production of the twelve-episode anime "Masamune-kun's Revenge" finally came to an end, that is, the final V-editing stage.

V-editing is the initial finished animation, which can be played normally, and it will generally not be modified afterward.

All you need to do is add the names of the producer, supervisor, and other key creative personnel, burn it onto a CD, put it in a white box, and send it to the TV station.

Of course, this is only an ideal situation.

Making corrections during the V-editing stage, although very troublesome, is the norm for many companies.

"President, how is it?"

Inside the screening room, the animation was played at six times the normal speed. Kinoshita Seiichi nervously looked behind him.

After V finished editing, he stayed up several nights revising it. Regardless of what others thought, he was very satisfied with the final product.

Masamune did not respond, but instead looked at the people around him:

"Now, please feel free to speak your mind. From your perspective, how many points would you give this animation?"

Kinoshita Seiichi held his breath for a moment, his heart filled with intense tension.

Is the president not satisfied?

But there's still a week until the broadcast, so making changes now is simply impossible.

However, this animation will be broadcast on television for three consecutive months, so if only the last few episodes are revised, there is still time.

I'd give it a 90!

Where is the difference of ten points?

"Well……"

After pondering for a while, Kinoshita Seiichi raised his head and said seriously:

"Art style. Artists' skills vary. Although Ogasawara's character designs can be used as a reference, they can only guarantee the lower limit."

"Some artists have a maximum score of 90, while others have a maximum score of 99. This results in most of the artwork being just passable, but occasionally a few very exquisite pieces will appear."

"Well said." Masamune smiled and clapped, then turned his gaze to Kuwana Chiya. "Miss Kuwana's painting skills are superb. Your painting of Adagaki Aki is very beautiful. I like it very much."

"President, you flatter me. Whether it's oil painting or animation, I'm just a beginner at the moment."

"There's no need to be so modest. Your drawing skills are indeed very high. When you have time, you can teach other people."

Noticing the expectant looks in Yasuhara Ema's and the others' eyes, Kuwana Chiya smiled and said:

"Of course you can, but I actually learned it from other people."

"I once saw the work of a girl on a British website. She was younger than me, but her painting skills were world-renowned. Whether it was oil painting or animated characters, her paintings were extremely exquisite and beautiful."

"I gradually became more proficient by imitating the animated characters she posted on the website."

"Her name is Shiina Mashiro, and she's very famous in the art world. You can find a lot of information about her with just a simple search."

Copying?

Ema Yasuhara subconsciously took out her phone and recorded it.

That is indeed a good way to improve drawing skills, if Ms. Shiina Mashiro's drawing style is truly outstanding.

"Miyamori, tell me about the pros and cons of this anime," Masamune said again.

"There are no flaws. I think everyone did a great job. This animation is already perfect!"

"So, what star rating do you think this animation deserves?"

"Well……"

Miyamori Aoi fell silent instantly. Was she trying to find fault with her?

But everyone is working so hard, it would be too discouraging to dampen their spirits at a time like this.

Moreover, if it has to be redone, that would be too much trouble.

“I think… Fujinomiya Neko has too few scenes and doesn’t create a favorable competition with Adagaki Aki.”

"It would be more interesting if the two sides engaged in fierce confrontation, or rather, a direct battle."

"A chaotic scene?" Masamune blurted out instinctively, then laughed and denied it. "Unfortunately, the 12 episodes of the anime have limited screen time. Even though Fujinomiya Neko has few scenes, we've already added five or six minutes to the original version."

"Ms. Ogasawara, what are your thoughts?"

After a few seconds of silence, Ogasawara Rinko sighed:

"I have only one question: after this animation is broadcast, will there really be no lawsuits coming my way?"

"I've done a lot of research online these past few days. The Adagaki Group is very large, roughly the same size as the Hayase Group. If a large-scale conflict were to break out between the two..."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it," Masamune said with a smile. "At worst, I'll just go and apologize in person."

"Sigh... It's good that the president has an idea." Ogasawara Rinko sighed again.

"Next, please..."

After everyone had shared their thoughts, Masamune smiled and gave his final summary:

"Overall, everyone has done their best in this animation. Although there are many flaws, they are not things that can be corrected in a short period of time."

"So let's end it here!"

"Great!!" Taro Takanashi shouted excitedly, "Finally, I can relax. These past three months, I've been running around doing all sorts of things, my legs are about to break."

Masamune couldn't help but interrupt:

"Don't get too excited yet. We have the following two plans for the next two weeks."

"First, organize the materials and equipment and gradually move them next door; second, recruit new people and expand the company's scale so that it can produce several animations at the same time."

"In addition, those who want to replace their computers, cameras, or other electronic devices should prepare a list of information, fill out a plan as soon as possible, and have them replaced in a unified manner."

……

Another night at the Adagaki residence.

"Is this all the result of your investigation?"

"Yes, Hayase Masamune's life has always been very regular. He didn't participate in any clubs, went straight home on time, and didn't have any close friends at school. He maintained a lukewarm relationship with his classmates and teachers."

While observing Adagaki Aki's expression, Yoshino Koiwai said:

"Actually, he was a very strange child even before that."

"According to the lady who lives next door to the Hayase family, he was always sickly as a child, rarely went to school, and did not like to play with other children of the same age in the neighborhood."

"After that, she suddenly transferred schools and her personality became even more indifferent."

"Even so, judging from his performance at school, he is not the aloof and expressionless type, but rather an ordinary person who is unassuming and unassuming."

"By the way, he was a fat guy a year ago, and he only gradually lost weight after entering his senior year of high school."

"My grades were originally very average, in the middle of my class and in the lower part of my grade. But three months before the college entrance exam, I suddenly studied day and night and my grades improved by leaps and bounds. I was admitted to the University of Tokyo."

"This story spread widely in that high school, and many teachers used him as a positive example to constantly mention to their students."

"But after the golden subtitles appeared in the sky, he suddenly gave up going to university and, with the help of the Hayase Group, entered the animation industry."

“Initially, the acquisition of Musashino Animation was just a small-scale operation, but the acquisition of the 23-story office building next to Musashino Animation clearly indicates that we are going to do something big.”

Was his personality change because of me? But I really don't remember doing anything outrageous.

Thinking of this, Adagaki Aki asked again:

"Any more?"

"His anime, 'Masamune-kun's Revenge,' seems to have been completed in all 12 episodes and sent to the TV station. If we use the master's connections, we might be able to see it ahead of time."

"That's true. We'll have to watch the whole anime to find out where his resentment towards me comes from and to what extent."

Chapter 20 of the animation was definitely worth watching!

Around 8 p.m. that evening, Aki Adagaki and Yoshino Koiwai sat side by side in the broadcasting room of TV Tokyo.

Although there were only two people inside, many people were watching from outside the door and through the surveillance cameras to prevent them from leaking the animation content.

Through the intervention of the Adagaki family, and after paying a considerable amount of favors and money, the two were finally able to sit here and see the entire anime in advance, but they were also forced to sign many clauses prohibiting filming and dissemination.

After a short wait, the animation began.

The opening didn't tell much, and the characters drawn were different from real people, but it still instantly captured Adagaki Aki's full attention.

When I saw Masamune Makabe declare that some things are only for handsome men, I couldn't help but think:

Was he always feeling inferior?

What an idiot! I don't care about things like body shape at all.

However, this is indeed the most common view in the world.

As the plot unfolds, Adagaki Aki appears in the anime, and her "cruel princess" behavior of ruthlessly humiliating others makes her feel guilty.

Although I don't care about other people's opinions, the thought that this is an animation that will be shown to the whole country makes me extremely nervous.

Moreover, his excessive appetite was also exposed.

"Yoshino, I'm probably not as outrageous in real life as I am in the anime, right?"

"Ah."

"That's right! How long did that guy investigate me? He even perfectly reproduced what I said. It's disgusting!"
