Second dimension anime story

"What kind of comics are they?" Gong Chengshi asked curiously.

"It's relaxed and leisurely, telling the story of a little girl's life in the countryside." Su Yu thought for a moment and said.

When Gong Chengshi heard this, his expression became strange.

Su Yu looked at her with innocent eyes.

"Ahem, I think I understand. However, this kind of comic is too simple and not suitable for the current industry. You'd better give up." When Gong Chengshi saw Su Yu's eyes, she knew that she was thinking in the wrong direction, but as a top painter in the industry, she was not optimistic about this kind of subject matter at all.

"Who can represent the industry?" Su Yu asked.

"Of course it's those famous directors and those excellent animation producers upstairs." Gong Chengshi pointed upstairs.

"What about the audience?" Su Yu looked at her.

"Audience? What does this have to do with the audience? Only people who work in animation understand the industry. For those who don't work in animation, it's enough for them to just watch the animation we make." Gong Chengshi said without hesitation.

"I think that no matter what kind of work it is, there will be audiences who like it. An excellent animation is definitely not determined by the supervisor alone. It must be recognized by the majority of the audience before it can be called excellent." Su Yu said word by word.

"There will always be many fools like you who hold the same idea as you, believing in the so-called dream and not knowing how cruel the reality is." Gong Chengshi snorted coldly.

"You had the same idea as me at the beginning, right?" Su Yu sat down.

"I'm not as naive as you. I want to paint to make money. As long as I become the best painter, I can get more money. The rest is not important. Dreams are just childish delusions and will never come true." Gong Chengshi stood up and said.

Su Yu looked at her quietly without saying anything.

Chapter 37 Blondes are all tsundere

"This industry doesn't require dreams. No matter what ideas you have when entering this industry, in my studio, you have to listen to me."

"I said that all paintings must be done according to my requirements. Don't add your own ideas."

"A naive animator like you, get out of this industry as soon as possible!"

Gong Chengshi clenched her fists. The incident two years ago was still deeply engraved in her mind.

The other party is the best supervisor in the industry, while she is just a painter.

The other party shattered her childish dreams in the most cruel way.

If the company didn't need a third studio, she might have resigned and left.

Su Yu's words were just like her thoughts at that time, as naive as those of the new employees, so her attitude towards the third studio was to leave it alone.

Occasionally, when work comes to her, she will follow the requirements and come up with the most perfect painting method.

"Do you know? Flash Animation Production Company has received a new animation production task. This animation has an investment of 200 million yen and has a complete original script." Su Yu suddenly said.

Gong Chengshi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and looked at Su Yu in front of her.

"I wrote this script and I also invested 100 million yen. When the time comes, I can designate a supervisor and let the third studio take on the task." Su Yu said lightly.

"Are you... are you telling the truth?" Gong Chengshi's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"If you are only interested in money, then you are not qualified to participate in the production of this animation." Su Yu looked at her.

"I..." Gong Chengshi opened her mouth, feeling a little conflicted.

"I don't know what you've been through, but my love for animation makes me want to make the animation that I want to see most, so I came here to learn painting and start from scratch." Su Yu continued.

"I... I will teach you how to draw. Let me think about the rest." Gong Chengshi said with a complicated look in his eyes and slowly sat down.

When Su Yu saw her attitude change, he knew what she was thinking.

After all, blondes are all tsundere.

……

Miya Sumishika said that she was the best artist in the third animation production studio, and this was not false.

Although she is currently the team leader of the third studio, all the animations she participates in producing are excellent animations from the first and second studios.

The third studio is temporarily responsible for the animation design of games or advertisements, and she hardly has to take care of anything.

Being able to own an office here is a reflection of Gong Chengshi's ability.

Of course, this also has something to do with qualifications.

Flash Animation Production Company once had many excellent supervisors and painters. Later, they left for various reasons. The few remaining supervisors became the company's veterans, and they were the most experienced.

As for painters, there are still many painters in the first and second studios. They love Flash Animation Production Company so much that they regard it as their home.

These painters are relatively experienced.

Next, it is the person in Gong Chengshi's position.

They are talents trained by Flash Animation School.

Finally, there are the ordinary employees in the company. Many of them are just qualified graduates and are treated far worse than Gong Chengshi.

Su Yu listened to Gong Chengshi's talk while looking at her.

That’s right, he was painting Gong Chengshi.

This is the question Gong Chengshi gave him.

Soon, Su Yu finished the painting.

Gong Chengshi took it and looked at it, frowning.

"You're only at the beginner's level, not even as good as those graduates out there. This drawing can only be considered a child's doodle. Of course, ordinary people with this level of skill can get ordinary jobs as painters and draw comics, but don't dream of it."

"Just tell me your shortcomings. I don't care about your comments. I will let you see what hard work means." Su Yu looked at her.

"The character's expression is unnatural, and there are some issues with the drawing of the joints, the material of the clothes, the lines of the legs, and the body contours..."

As Gong Chengshi was speaking, he started to make changes.

A few minutes later.

Su Yu looked at the character she had modified.

I have to say that Gong Chengshi is amazing. His simple revisions are almost all about details.

"Do you understand?" Gong Chengshi asked.

"I think I understand it. Thank you for your guidance. I want to draw another one." Su Yu said seriously.

"Draw now. If you don't make any progress, it means your comprehension ability is too poor. In that case, it will be a waste of time for me to teach you again." Gong Chengshi crossed her legs and said to Su Yu.

Su Yu did not answer. After looking at her carefully, he began to draw.

This time, he got serious.

His eyes occasionally glanced at the painting next to him.

Gong Chengshi waited quietly for Su Yu, without urging him to paint faster, nor moving casually.

For a moment, the office fell silent.

About half an hour later.

Su Yu finished the second painting and handed it to Gong Chengshi opposite him.

Gong Chengshi took it and looked at it, his face full of surprise.

Isn’t this progress too fast?

If Su Yu was at the beginner level just now, he is now a qualified painter.

Gong Chengshi looked for a few minutes and then raised his head.

"Your attention to detail is pretty good, but there's still room for improvement. Next, I'll test your imagination. You have to draw five versions of me wearing different clothes. Any clothes will do. You must be able to draw the sailor uniforms and maid outfits that often appear in anime."

"Can I look for some pictures of the clothes?" Su Yu took out his cell phone.

"Whatever, I'm going to get some coffee, you can take your time drawing."

After saying this, Gong Chengshi left the office.

Su Yu looked at the closed door and began to look up information.

This kind of thing that tests imagination is no longer a problem for him.

The biggest problem lies in the details.

Su Yu found the clothes, looked at the first and second paintings, and started painting.

The character's movements, facial expressions, clothing material, leg lines...

Su Yu painted slowly, no longer caring about the passage of time.

At this moment, he felt that he seemed to like painting.

That sentence also popped up in his mind.

interest is the best teacher.

If you have no interest in something, then doing it will feel boring.

Just like he used to like writing novels, and almost all of them were fan fiction, which was also out of interest.

Without interest, there is no motivation for him to write.

Of course, income is also important.

……

I don’t know how long it took.

Su Yu heard the door open.

He looked up and saw Gong Chengshi walking in with food.

"Is the painting finished?" She glanced at Su Yu.

"Almost." Su Yu replied.

"This is your lunch." Gong Chengshi placed the plate in front of Su Yu.

"Thank you." Su Yu handed over his painting.

Gong Chengshi took Su Yu's painting and began to look at it.

Su Yu glanced at the time before starting to eat.

Now, it's already noon.

Chapter 38 She Wants to Become a Supervisor

If painters are divided into levels.

There are roughly four stages.

Beginners, painters at this stage, can only draw the appearance of the characters.

Low-level painters, painters at this stage, can pay attention to the curves and figure of the characters.

Intermediate artist. Artists at this stage can present the expressions of characters and can already work in the animation industry.

Advanced painters, painters at this stage, cannot be said to paint lifelike, but it can only be said that the characters they paint have their own characteristics.

Gong Chengshi is undoubtedly a senior painter.

And Su Yu, in just one day, went from a beginner to an intermediate painter.

After looking at Su Yu's paintings, Gong Chengshi had to say that Su Yu had made great progress.

Now, there would be no problem even if he joined the third studio directly.

"You're very smart and a quick learner. Next, let's talk about how to draw comics. There's a certain difference between a cartoonist and an artist. If you don't have an assistant, you'll need to do everything yourself. The professional knowledge involved includes..."

Gong Chengshi watched Su Yu finish his lunch and began to talk about how to draw comics.

The style of comics is slightly different from animation, and it is not necessary to draw every step, but in order to maintain the overall structure, storyboards are necessary.

Miya Sumishi used to draw comics and won awards from the comics club. Her graduation project was to animate her own comics.

One person completes the comics, and one person produces the animation. This is the strength of Flash Animation School.

Although it is just an animated short, the time and effort she has to put in can be said to be far more than that of other painters.

Su Yu listened carefully and remembered her words.
