Chapter 370 Market

Gu Xue felt bad.

It's just a feeling.

Not sure.

Adding a drop of ice water interrupted her thoughts, and Gu Xue quickly forgot about it.

The audience was reading the same barrage. If you think about it carefully, it is actually quite normal. The essence of human beings is repeaters. As for why the 5-second warning was displayed, maybe it was just to make fun of the 5-second warning...

This is not Gu Xue's self-comfort.

But, the animation hasn't been aired yet, so it's really hard for people to be vigilant in this situation.

In addition, Gu Xue was also very busy, so after struggling for a while, she put the matter behind her.

As for what Gu Xue is busy with.

The most important thing is of course the production problem of "My Youthful Love Story".

After all, this is YUKI Studio's first TV animation. Although I have done theatrical animation before, although the preliminary work went smoothly, there were still many surprises when it came to the actual group work, that is, the painting process.

The original painting was fine.

After several expansions at Yuki Studio, the original painting work for ordinary theatrical animations can barely be digested within the studio. However, this time it is a TV animation. The number of episodes has increased but the construction period has not increased. It will definitely need to be outsourced.

In terms of outsourcing, the production management department of Yuki Studio has been very cautious. The first choice is always a freelance original artist or company with a reliable reputation.

But there is indeed a shortage of original paintings in the industry.

Sometimes you have no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

This retreat.

The quality of outsourced original paintings has also become uneven.

The original painting is in trouble.

The workload is large, but the technical content does not need to be too high, such as cutting and coloring.

Since YUKI Studio produced the animation "My Youth Love Story Is Really Problematic".

Got tricked more than once.

Been defrauded by contract.

The manuscript was maliciously dragged.

I’ve also been fooled by matryoshka-style outsourcing.

The shortcomings of YUKI Studio's lack of experience were all exposed in the process of making TV animations. Although Mr. Kigami later joined Yuki Studio, the situation improved.

But the trouble caused by being cheated before always needs someone to solve it.

And the person who solved it... was Gu Xue.

During this period of time, Gu Xue really relied on her own strength to lift up Yuki Studio and overcome a hurdle.

In this regard, Kigami joked more than once: "When trouble occurs, the production site is the same as the fire scene. Those responsible for rescuing the scene are called firefighters. But Gu Xue, where are the firefighters? They are simply permanent workers." The fire hydrant in the room...'

This sentence has a lot of flaws.

Many people in the studio agree...

Gu Xue didn't say anything, just rolled her eyes.

She was actually mentally prepared for this situation.

After all, this is a TV animation, so it’s definitely impossible to make animations just by laughing and joking.

The pace of YUKI studio is already big, so problems will definitely arise, people will be cheated, and they will be in a hurry.

These experiences are indeed very painful and can be debilitating.

But these will eventually become the nourishment for the growth of the studio.

Gu Xue was convinced of this.

The follow-up production of "My Youthful Love Story Really Has Problems" is gradually getting on track, which also proves her thoughts.

in addition.

Except for animation production.

Gu Xue also often went to Small Company. She also had high hopes for the Nendoroid series, so of course she couldn't just let it go.

Like today.

After talking to Yu Jingyao.

With the idea of ​​​​escape from the summer and final confirmation of the Nendoroid prototype, Gu Xue went to Small Company again.

…

Small Company is located in the suburbs and occupies a small area. It is just a two-story office building and a workshop.

The workshop does not have the ability to mass-produce figures at all. It is mainly used for prototype development. Generally speaking, it is very small, and it deserves to be called small.

Gu Xue came to Small Company a lot, so when she got there, she didn't need anyone to guide her. She arrived at Gu Rou's office by herself.

"sister."

Gu Xue knocked on the door, then opened the door a crack and stuck her head in.

Gu Rou was looking at some information when she heard a knock on the door and raised her head.

After realizing that the visitor was Gu Xue, she smiled happily and said softly: "Why are you here?"

"Escape from the heat." Gu Xue opened the door and walked in. She was surrounded by the cool air that she hadn't seen for a long time and almost made her cry.

"I heard that the air conditioner broke and it hasn't been repaired for several days?"

Gu Rou asked, waving to Gu Xue and asking her to come over.

"yes."

Gu Xue came to Gu Rou with a look of despair.

"Didn't Yujing Yao go to report for repair?"

Gu Rou pulled Gu Xue into her arms and let her sit on her lap.

"I reported it, but the property management efficiency was extremely slow." Gu Xue shook her head.

"Then just stay here with your sister today."

"Okay, but..." Gu Xue struggled for a moment, "Let me go first, I'm covered in sweat..."

Gu Rou joked: "Last week, didn't you tell Sato Ei that the sweat of beautiful girls is fragrant?"

"That was my excuse to trick Sato Ei into selling ice cream downstairs. Otherwise, where would we get the ice cream to eat... Even if it's true, I'm talking about you."

Hearing Gu Xue's words.

Gu Rou pinched her ears angrily: "...You guys, get rid of them for me. You always want to exclude yourself. What are you doing? Do you want to downplay your identity and then marry me?"

"What a good idea." Gu Xue put on an expression of serious consideration.

"You're so tall." Gu Rou slapped Gu Xue's extremely elastic long legs, and said with a little resentment: "Don't be too hot to wear long pants before you say this! Every time I look at you You dress so...attractively, I'm worried that you will be deceived sooner or later and marry..."

"you……"

Gu Xue pushed her hand away with a look of despair on her face.

I can’t talk any more.

"Ganggungu Rou! I won't talk to you anymore! You and I have nothing in common, but where are the prototypes of the Nendoroids! I want to see them!"

"Why are you talking to your sister and the boss of Small?"

"cut……"

"You still dare to cut it?"

"I dare, ahhh... Gu Rou, you... haha, don't scratch me..."

…

The two sisters played around for a while.

In the end, Gu Xue was defeated and gave in.

after.

Gu Rou called the prototype artist responsible for developing the Nendoroid series and asked them to bring those Nendoroid prototypes.

Gu Xue carefully inspected the prototype.

He looked at the two artistic-looking prototype designers again, asked a few questions, and nodded with satisfaction.

The overall work of the prototype is still very good. Although it is not as good as the Evil Laughter Club on Earth, they have been doing this for many years, and Small has just started, so there is no comparison at all.

This time, a total of 5 Nendoroid prototypes were developed, including Akko from "Little Witch Academia", the great teacher, Dango and Yukino from "Go Ao", and the male protagonist Arthur from "Embrace a Better Tomorrow" .

The first four are the copyrights of YUKI Studio, and the last one was obtained by Gu Xue through the mediation of Miyamoto Fumie.

To release five figures at a time, although the development and production costs of Nendoroid are not high, this is indeed a risky move.

Mr. Osawa, who came with the prototype master, was a little worried.

He looked at the two sisters, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but ask his doubts.

"Miss Gu, is this really okay? Can it be sold..."

He is a traditional man.

Nendoroid clearly breaks with tradition.

No wonder he was worried.

After Gu Rou heard what he said, she pondered for a moment and said: "Rationally speaking, based on my investigation of the existing figures on the market during this period, this kind of product is mainly small, low-priced, and suitable for most ordinary people. , there is a certain market. Although this kind of product ignores many details, it is cute enough. I don’t like toys or animation very much, but the moment I see this kind of Nendoroid, I will buy one. Just an idea to play around with.”

Mr. Osawa: "...What about perceptually?"

Gu Rou: "Emotionally speaking, I believe in my sister."

"..." Osawa turned his head and looked at Gu Xue, who was looking down at the clay man.

Gu Xue keenly noticed his gaze. She picked up a clay figure and said with a smile: "Mr. Osawa, don't worry about it. Nothing in the world is certain, and no one can predict it, let alone know a product." The popularity of the product has increased. Before the product is released, these can be predicted and imagined, but no one dares to guarantee it, and neither do I, no matter how confident I am."

"After all, the market is the only criterion for testing products."
