The next day, Saturday, it was originally considered a rest day, but because the promotional video was just released, many people came to take the initiative to make up for the shift - mainly to see the evaluation of the three-minute films on the Internet.

Except for a few original artists who really couldn't get away and had agreed to be outside, basically everyone came.

This scene made Qian Xiadu, who came over early with his bag, stunned. She had never seen such a scene before.

It's not working hours, so many people come to work on their own initiative...

Qianxia, ​​Shan Shangshang, was a little stunned, but soon greeted these seniors one by one.

Just when she was about to walk to her workbench, someone called her: "Miss Yamakura, Superintendent Yano went to get the projector, saying that everyone would watch the promotional video later."

"I see."

No wonder everyone is sitting here chatting, waiting for the projector.

Qianxia on the mountain suddenly realized.

She also put down her bag and chatted with several original artists around her and two previous apprentices.

Shankan is a workplace woman who is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Even if she is treated preferentially by Higashinoji alone in advance, she can actually coax the other two original painters to apprenticeships without any objection to this.

Soon, Ryuichi Yano came out with a projector in his arms and connected the output port. After the image appeared on the white screen, he clicked on the Higashino Studio page on the computer.

The mark of Higashino Studio is a simple and simple black and white brush. The brush's logo is hung on the empty and simple studio webpage. Turning down the three-minute promotional film that I put on yesterday and a small comment section below.

There is nothing else.

Yes.

This is so simple.

But no one cared.

No matter how glamorous the web page is, it is useless. The most important thing is the grades. Nothing is in vain.

Everyone turned to real-time click statistics.

Then--

A burst of cheers broke out inside Higashino Studio. Although it was not as exciting as the movies, the happy expression on everyone's face was visible - "The Winner is Justice" directly received more than 100,000 clicks...

You should know that this is just a promotional video. The promotional videos produced by several other animation production companies only have only a few tens of thousands of clicks at most... "The Winner Is Justice" has surpassed them five or six times, and it really surprised them all by getting such results in just one night.

Even Qianxia, ​​who was in the mood of the mountain, was inspired by the group atmosphere. She became happy unconsciously and began to discuss with several people around her.

Higashinoji, who was watching the result on the other side, nodded with satisfaction. The results of "The Winner Is Justice" were not particularly ugly.

As for the atmosphere of such a unity and unity of his team... this also made Higashinoji think for a while and thinks that this is actually normal.

What can make a team more solid?

This question can be answered without thinking about it - it is a common difficulty encountered by the team.

And "The Winner Is Justice" plays such a difficult role.

The four-month construction period is a lot of problems and insufficient staff... These few months are particularly difficult for the entire Dongye Studio.

Now that I finally cleared a little of the haze, the members of the studio will of course be very happy.

Even Yano Ryuichi, who was beside Higashinoji, looked emotional... He has been a well-deserved hero of Higashino Studio in the past few months, and he ran around to contact him, as well as the review of the voice actor of the dragon suit, and his hair fell a lot, but only at this moment did he feel that the fall of his hair was valuable.

The studio members made a lot of noise for a while. Yano Ryuichi turned to look at Higashinoji beside him. After finding that his expression had not changed much, he asked curiously: "Teacher Higashino, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with this score?"

After hearing what Yano Ryuichi said, Higashino Studio became quiet for some reason, and the members inside, including Chiashi Yamaki, looked at Higashinoji.

After two months together, many people have positively understood the awesomeness of Teacher Higashino who likes to squint his eyes and smile, especially when he squints his eyes and bent his eyes... there will always be people who are suffering and scolded.

The key is that he is not the kind of direct insult, but speaks around the corner, which makes you feel guilty and embarrassed...

In addition, Higashinoji is already capable and his work intensity is no less than that of them... This makes them unable to refute sometimes.

If you have the ability, you will scold people and do not take credit for it. You will also work with them. Similarly, you will not treat them unfairly and are willing to pay overtime work... Many Japanese companies or animation production companies do not pay overtime work, so naturally they become a kind of respect for Higashinoji like Chika Yama.

Higashinoji was thinking about things, but when he heard Yano Ryuichi and noticed that everyone was looking at him, he subconsciously smiled and his eyes bent - this smile was very cheerful, but it made a group of employees of Higashino Studio feel a little shocked.

Oh no! Teacher Higashino is going to eat people!

They took a step back, fearing that Higashinoji would find him.

"The results have been very good this time. Thank you for your hard work in the past few months. As a celebration, Mr. Yano will take you to dinner tonight. Just keep the accounts in the studio's finances." Higashino announced with a smile.

This made the members of the studio below breathe a sigh of relief and began to discuss with each other with a soft smile.

Seeing this scene, Higashinoji didn't say much... But to be honest, the number of clicks in the promotional video does not mean anything. Even if the viewer applauds under the comment section, it will be useless if he cannot achieve good results at that time.

So Higashinoji was not particularly excited... Even if he was really happy, it would be not too late to wait until the sales of Blu-ray discs came out.

After appeased them, Higashinoji did not stand still, but called four supervisors, one of which was asked by Koharu Hosokawa to come and help.

Although they have achieved good results, they must not be as complacent as ordinary painters and special effects artists in the studio. Instead, they have to hold a meeting and discuss it carefully.

This discussion is not complicated, mainly about where the high number of clicks such as "The Winner Is Justice" comes from.

Soon, Higashinoji and his team came to the conclusion.

First of all, "The Winner Is Justice" is different from other animation production companies. They did not disclose the details about the animation at all. Higashino Studio directly threw out a large film, and the quality was amazing, so it attracted a lot of discussion from viewers. They praised Higashino Studio's behavior of not covering up and directly taking it out.

After all, it is a mule or a horse, and you can only see it after taking it out and walking it.

The second point may be that Higashinoshi specifically asked them to add the small button to share and copy link under the video before the promotional video was put on... Higashinoshi was just learning how to share videos on some websites in his previous life, so they asked them to make a copy button.

Unexpectedly, the effect was amazing.

Many people shared links with "The Winner Is Justice" outside, and the story of Higashino Studio directly released a film of three minutes and was also circulating.

Higashinoji didn't expect that the effect of sharing was so good. It was completely considered as a shady piece of willows that were accidentally planted.

Although Yano Ryuichi and the others were happy, they were not overwhelmed by this moment of joy. After figuring out the reason, they began to prepare for the next publicity plan.

The promotional film "The Winner Is Justice" is just a means of external publicity.

In addition, there are methods such as posters... However, in Japan in 2004, animation promotion was at most on trams or subways. In this era, it was called comics. Akihabara, the anime holy land, is just a relatively ordinary electrical street... However, recently, Akihabara seems to have introduced some things about comics and animations... Maybe in the future it will become a holy place like a comic tour in the previous life.

But no matter what, Higashino Studio won the first battle, and the next step is to see how the competitors of the same period take over it.

Higashino Studio was very happy, while on the other side, the MIC animation production company, which also has roots in Tokyo, was stunned by the combination of Higashino Studio, which has been silent.

MIC is also a company that produces October animation this time. Their production of "Takagi-Kun Next Door" has received a lot of production funds and is a strong contender for this October hegemony animation.

In other words, they are also an animation production company that wants to compete with Higashino Studio.

At this time, a group of members of the animation production team of MIC animation production company were sitting next to the projector, looking up at the three-minute films of the promotional video released by Higashino Studio.

Daimachiko's realistic portrayal, Kensuke Kumimon is not concerned about the truth and justice... Tsukikura's eyes are like a murderer...

This made them feel like they had goosebumps all over.

"This film quality is so outstanding."

In the production team, I don’t know who said a low voice.

There is no way... Although Higashino Studio is about to fight with them, they can't say "No, it's not possible," and then turn off the video in evasion, right?

"Is there such a scene in our new work "Takagi-Kun Next Door"?"

Seeing that every screenshot can be used as a detailed painting on the background of the computer desktop, an original artist whispered to ask his colleagues around him.

The original artist who was asked didn't say anything, but just said a little bit of nothing: "No... it would be better to say that Higashino Studio is too much, right?"

Yes... Higashino Studio is too much.

Even the brilliance on the face of the heroine Daimachiko is not something that the special effects artist or the later color is roughly painted, but it really feels like a shadow is floating...

They could tell at a glance that it was a manual effect of Higashino Studio... Because the computer special effects in 2004 were very rigid, it was impossible to really create that kind of floating feeling of light.

This is simply a malicious show of skills!

It's indeed too much!

But at most they just talk about it here. Higashino Studio is willing to make such a delicate picture with painstaking efforts, and they are unlikely to criticize each other.

After all, the industry is so big, and the bad things they say now may be passed on to Dongye Studio and others.

This is easy to make enemies, so you must not talk nonsense.

And the most important thing is...

Didn’t you say that there were few people in Higashino Studio? How did you make such an excellent work?

Didn’t the original drawings of the PW animation production company be burned out in one go?? What is the situation? How could such an outstanding work be produced in such a dilemma?

No wonder Dongye Studio dares to release the main film directly. After all, these three minutes of main film can already tell a lot of things.

Similarly, no one said such innocent words as ‘Did Higashino Studio specially selected the best three minutes to make this promotional video’.

After all, most animation companies have taken out this kind of "nuclear bomb" from the bottom of the box. Higashino Studio has the confidence to directly take out this "nuclear bomb", which only means that they have many other "nuclear bombs" that are not inferior to this clip.

As Kensuke Komime's cold and sarcastic tone fell, the animation supervisor responsible for producing "Takagi-Kun Next Door" turned off the promotional video of "The Victor is Justice": "Okay, I'll call you to play this promotional video without any intention of hitting you, I just want you to know how powerful our opponents are this time."

He encouraged himself: "Although the production of Higashino Studio is excellent, it does not mean that our "Takagi-Kun Next Door" will lose... After all, we have two months of production schedule than them, which is an advantage that cannot be ignored! Even if these three minutes are excellent, what can I do? I will still see the audience to check at that time, so don't worry or burden you don't have any unnecessary worries or burdens."

The animation supervisor of "The Next Door" made many people nod.

It really makes sense.

I have two more months of production time than Higashino Studio, which is their advantage.

There is no need to be afraid or afraid of just three minutes of filming.

We only know if it is a mule or a horse after fighting.

They cheered up again and began to discuss in a low voice.

Only the animation supervisor who had just spoken let out a sigh of relief, his expression was a little melancholy... Although he said that just now...

But that's just a simple scene.

The three-minute film that Higashino Studio threw out directly was indeed like a nuclear bomb, which poses great threat to them and has to be guarded against.

"I originally thought that Mr. Higashino was going to fall into his work this time... I didn't expect it..." The supervisor of "The Takagi-Kun next door" breathed heavily, and he never expected that such a dark horse would suddenly appear when competing for the October hegemony animation.
Chapter completed!
