There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

When the green mountains cast expectant glances.

"Well, that's indeed possible!" Kamiigusa admitted it readily.

Qingshan suddenly felt lost. It turned out that she was not the irreplaceable one.

"You are a scumbag who gets bored easily." Li Nian said contemptuously.

"The premise is that I meet a woman who is better than Xiao Nanami! I think she is pretty good right now, so I don't plan to fall in love with someone else for the time being!"

"It means that since we didn't find anyone better in the audition, we can already say that you, Qingshan, are qualified to voice the goddess."

Qingshan was a little frustrated: "Senior will meet a better woman...oh no, it's a voice actor."

“Maybe.” Li Nian did not deny it: “But before that, you are the top priority… Between [similar feelings abcdef], you are the best choice. This is very important.”

"Yes, yes, I won't abandon you, Xiao Qihai, easily!" Shang Jinggusa patted his chest, stirring up a surge, and made a promise that was completely unreliable.

"Then, as the original author, I should also have a certain say in the selection of voice actors."

Qingshan said with a smile: "Student Li Nian, you are not a scumbag who loves new things and gets tired of the old ones, right?"

"Of course not. I will only abandon you when I meet a better woman."

Nayuta raised her hand and said, "There is a better woman here! Forget about the other woman, senior!" But Li Nian ignored her.

"As long as there is no one better than me... I will be chosen first among equally good voice actors." Qingshan understood what Li Nian wanted to say, and said with a bit of self-mockery: "I know, this is really a big advantage... because the producer and the original author are all my friends."

"Well, you still have more time to polish yourself to meet their expectations. You can ask them."

"I will. There aren't any other more easily available roles to compete for lately."

"Of course, the premise of everything is that it can really be animated." Li Nian asked Shang Jingusa: "What is the current progress of the animation production?"

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember that it's already been completed. All the work is in place. The studio just sent over a CD with the video content after editing and synthesis. I was planning to invite everyone to watch it after dinner! I'll go get it now!"

Shang Jingcao put down his bowl and ran back upstairs to get the CD.

Li Nian looked at Senior Ren in silence, with an expression like "Why didn't you tell me this important thing earlier?" written on his face.

The latter smiled.

"I want to give you a surprise."

When they came down, Misaki really had a CD in her hand. She gathered everyone in the living room and watched the completed animated short on the big screen.

After watching the animation, everyone was speechless for a long time.

Ueigusa asked excitedly: "How is it? Am I awesome?"

"It's really amazing," Li Nian said with emotion, "I've become even more handsome after being so handsome to begin with... If this animation is released, it will definitely top the video website charts for a week or so, causing a frenzy among otakus."

"Do you think this animation is important enough as a stepping stone to convince the people in your library?" Ren asked with a smile.

"Of course, they'll beat their heads to pieces, not to mention moving them. After watching this animation, they might even come and ask Uegusa-senpai to help them make a series."

Chapter 482: The New Book Release That Li Nian Didn’t Pay Attention to

What is the essence of story writing.

Li Nian believes that images are formed in people's minds.

Human beings are beings that start thinking based on everything they perceive.

The corresponding imagination will naturally develop because of the words you see, the sounds you hear, the pictures you see, the smells you smell, and the touches you feel.

There are also associations that unfold successively, and the thinking is not limited to the initial feeling. Because of the wind, one thinks of rain, because of the flowers, one thinks of spring, and because of the blood, one thinks of death.

The creation of a story is to use these gradually unfolding imaginations to purposefully construct images in the minds of the viewers.

From this point of view, whether using sound, text, or pictures, it is just a difference in means, and the purpose of arousing people's imagination is the same.

Therefore, Li Nian feels that authors, voice actors, directors, and other professions are actually pursuing similar things, so the standard for measuring their abilities can also be unified, that is, whether they can really use their respective professional methods to achieve an effect that leaves a deep impression on people and mobilizes the many emotions and imaginations of the audience or spectators.

It is easy to say but difficult to do.

Everyone knows how to tell a story, but not everyone can tell a good story.

As for the writing style that Li Nian is familiar with, it requires changes in rhythm with beginnings, developments, turns and twists, it is necessary to grasp themes that people are interested in, it is necessary to be familiar with various allusions or routines, and it is also necessary to have a spiritual core that one really wants to express.

After all, writing is easy. Anyone can type a few thousand words on the keyboard. There is no threshold. But if you change to other ways of expression, the requirements will be much higher.

That's what animation is all about.

On the premise of having a good script, you must also use the camera to express emotions, use light and shadow to set the atmosphere, use paintings to support the content, emphasize where it should be emphasized, and decisively cut where it should be omitted. Only after good editing can you avoid dragging your feet and achieve a good viewing experience.

From this point of view, animation producers need to consider many more aspects than simple writers. Even if they don’t have to do everything themselves and can distribute the tasks, they still need to coordinate with various departments.

Fortunately, Misaki Kamiigusa, an animation producer who seems to have an empty brain, is actually good at this.

All of her abilities are reflected in this animated product, which is just over 20 minutes long.

Li Nian has already seen the key fighting scenes and thought they were gorgeous. Now that they have been integrated into the entire animation and are being appreciated with dubbing, they have become part of the story and have a motivation. The emotional changes of the characters in the battle have become more obvious and feel even more gorgeous.

Of course, Li Nian has already seen enough of the handsome fighting posture of the male protagonist based on himself, but he is more concerned about the beauties.

This guy Kamiigusa really overemphasizes the feminine beauty of the goddess. It is not very obvious in the battle, but the literary scene before the negotiation with the demon king, where the girl walks down barefoot, circles lightly around the demon king, touches him all over, and takes advantage of him, really makes people's blood pumping. The feeling of Aoyama's voice-over, with the breath sweet and breathing softly in the ear, is also great.

When watching that segment, Li Nian's expression turned into a serious one as if he was thinking about the political situation in Southeast Asia.

But unlike this person, everyone's attention is focused elsewhere.

“That fight scene was really cool after it was made into an animation.”

"Before that, the demon king was summoned and walked through the dark gate from the bright sunshine. The expression and the changes in light and shadow in the long corridor also filled the atmosphere."

"Was the opening scene of the demon king sitting on the throne with a group of kings and generals bowing before him added later? After adding that scene, it makes people feel that the demon king's decision to abandon this status and resolutely betray is more courageous."

"When I watched it together with the animation, I felt that Li Nian's voice acting was very suitable for the Demon King."

“The background is beautiful.”

"After all, that was also based on the real scene of the city made by classmate Li Nian."

"Eh? Apart from the script, is there any other contribution of the seniors in this animation that looks amazing?"

"Based on the current results, the contribution of the gorilla is enormous. The smooth production is thanks to the vast amount of reference materials and design plans provided by this guy, which has saved a lot of production costs and time."

Anyway, to sum up everyone's feelings, it is impossible to lose after doing this.

Li Nian then notified Miss Machida, who drove over immediately after receiving the news and watched the finished animation at Sakurasou. Then, she made a promise to Li Nian and Kamiigusa with a smile.

"With this, I will definitely be able to convince those stubborn people in the library. You just need to wait for the notification of the start of the animation project."

……

……

At school, Li Nian also mentioned the completion of the animation to everyone in the club.

Everyone knows what kind of exaggerated preparations Li Nian made for this. Everyone saw that Li Nian made a city that seemed to exist in a corner of the world, and called on Isayama to fight and perform hard. It was still produced by Misaki Kamiigusa, and everyone was curious about the finished product of this animation.

But Li Nian did not take anyone to Sakurasou to find Misaki to watch the unreleased animation footage again. He only said that the day of the school festival would be the day it would be released, and a venue had been arranged for the screening, and it would also be uploaded to the Internet at the same time so that everyone could see it at that time.

The news that Misaki Kamiigusa is working on a new animation cannot be concealed in the industry, especially this time she has invited many painters to participate in the production with great fanfare. At the reminder of Jin Mitaka, Kamiigusa herself also released a public announcement of the new work, which has attracted the attention of many people inside and outside the industry, and Jin's animation has been a hit.

This time, Senior Ren did not hang up those animations impatiently, but took the initiative to mention that the first public meeting would be at the school festival of Sobu High School and extended an invitation.

I also contacted the school and received cooperation from the school, which was already a priority.

The animation release at the Sobu High School anniversary celebration on that day will be a grand event, and there will be many people who come to see Kamiigusa's new work.

A few days before the school festival, Li Nian's new work will officially go on sale and be available in bookstores everywhere.

Ms. Machida seems to have convinced the top management of the library to start considering officially launching the animation project of "Magic Covenant", but there are still some procedures to go before it is finalized, such as meetings to discuss these necessary procedures. The result may be doomed, but the process is not that simple.

However, the library also took the release of Kamiigusa's "fan-made" animation very seriously. They asked Ms. Machida to negotiate with Kamiigusa in the form of cooperation between the two parties, and also used the official name of the library to release the video on major video websites around the world, adding some promotional slogans and content to coincide with the release of Li Nian's new work and maximize the publicity effect.

When Ms. Machida came to deliver the news, she said to Li Nian with a delighted look on her face: "From now on, Mr. Muzi, you are already one of the writers that the library pays special attention to! The library has to treat your work as a "best-selling work that will definitely become a big hit with the animation."

"Even though I'm just a newcomer, I've only written two volumes?"

"You are a new writer who is favored by a big-name animation producer, who invested money and effort to support the release of your new work, and directly made a 20-minute commercial-quality animation short film to promote it. You are also a unique one."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's just that there was no sign of Misaki Kamiigusa's illness, and I just chose to do the animation."

"Even so, there are not many people in the world who can respond to Kamiigusa's expectations... Although it's abrupt, please start writing the third volume as soon as possible?"

"How many days have I just finished writing the second volume?"

"From the outline, Mr. Muzi, your third volume is the climax that connects the previous and the next, and it is the end of the first stage of the story, right? Since we are going to start the animation project, the content to be done should be the first three volumes. An animation project without the support of the original work will always make people feel unreliable. For this reason, we also need you to complete the content of the third volume as soon as possible. The library also needs to see the entire plot required for the animation production before making a final decision. I also believe that the complete story composed of these three volumes can become an opportunity for the library to truly pay attention to you, Mr. Muzi, and further increase your efforts."

“This is really… haah… it makes me feel terrified.”

"…If you don't yawn when you say that, it will sound like that. You can be more excited. Judging from the current situation, you may become popular from the first volume because of the new animation of Uegusa Misaki."

"That seems to be the case?"

"Aren't you happy at all?"

"Of course I am pleased."

"..."

In Ms. Machida's eyes, Li Nian had a smile on his face, and it was true that he was quite happy, but he was far from excited. It was obvious that what was now presented to him was a smooth path as an author, allowing him to attract much attention from the moment he published his book.

Since she met Li Nian, Ms. Machida felt that this person was not like a new author who had just debuted in every sense, whether it was her books or her personality.

If other new authors heard this good news, it would not be surprising that they would cry with joy, but for Li Nian, it seemed like just a feeling of "Oh, that's good."

"You're so calm that I'm like an idiot when I get excited."

"Haha, please don't think like that."

"I'm really curious, why are you so calm?"

"…Because I feel that no matter what, what I should do will not change. Or, in the light novel industry, even if you become famous, popular, and profitable, do you have to make more changes? I don't think authors need to do anything other than writing what they want to write."

Ms. Machida was silent, looking at Li Nian who seemed to be genuinely confused and asked the question, and she looked a little dazed.

During her career, working in the editorial department, she has seen many famous authors who were promoted by other editors or by herself. Like Li Nian, many of them got the opportunity to be adapted into animations, and some of them changed after becoming famous.

Some become swelled and become arrogant.

There are also those who feel that they have been placed on a high ground and find it difficult to step down, and are overwhelmed by the pressure to produce high-quality articles.

Many people forget their original intentions in the midst of change, and the quality of their writing declines, even to the point of becoming unsightly.

But it seems that this person will not forget the most important things like them.

Ms. Machida looked at Li Nian again.

"...I feel more and more that you, Mr. Muzi, will definitely become a pillar writer of our library in the future... Well, maybe the support of Producer Kamiigusa has only accelerated the process and allowed you to reach the position you should be in earlier."

"Wow, that's Ms. Machida. You flatter me too much."

"Haha, don't think I don't know that you, Teacher Muzi, are being polite, but you're actually thinking that's the case."

"how come."

"However, after becoming famous, Mr. Muzi, you will need to write some things you don't want to write. For example, after the animation project really starts, all kinds of work will fall on you, including script supervision, character design supervision, radio scripts, short articles in various magazine columns, and maybe a manufacturer will propose the production of a game. At that time, the game script will of course also need to be written by the original author, and..."

As Ms. Machida continued to explain, Li Nian felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

"Stop, stop, stop, Master, please stop reading. Anyway, I just need to finish writing the third volume now, right?"

"As soon as possible."

"Well, I still feel more excited about writing my own stuff."

……

……

On the release day, Li Nian didn't even remember that today was the day his book was released. It was only when he arrived at school and An Yi got close to his face with a look of seeking credit and took out the new book he had bought and showed it to Li Nian that he remembered it.

"Ah Nian, look! Your new book has just been released! I ran to a bookstore I know early in the morning and used a few connections to get it from an acquaintance before it was put on the shelf!"

Li Nian looked at An Yi's dark circles speechlessly, knowing that the early morning he mentioned was probably the time period of midnight: "Is it really that urgent? It's not like you can't buy it if you go later."

"My good brother's new book is on sale, of course I have to buy it before anyone else in the world!"

Wu Geng was also thinking about this. Just when she was about to go buy a few books in the afternoon, An Yi took out a few books from a big bag full of them and handed them to her: "I haven't forgotten everyone in the club. Everyone brought a book."

Not to mention the people in the club, after Kato and Li Nian were given a copy, Totsuka over there was also given a copy. The cute boy didn't really read light novels, but sitting in the front, listening to the group of people around Li Nian chatting for so long, he also noticed something and knew that this might be Li Nian's work, so he curiously took it.

After distributing the copies here, An Yi did not stop, carrying the big bag to look for other acquaintances in the class. An Yi was very popular in the class, and there were quite a lot of people who got along well with him, not to mention the otaku group. He also gave a copy to every other acquaintance he met.
