498 List of Heroes of the Stick

"Big brother, drink tea."

"Thanks."

Kamiyagawa is currently at the home of former Tokuma Animation Studio head Satake Tsukada.

He came to visit with gifts.

As soon as he arrived and sat down in the living room, Mr. Tsukada's daughter jumped up and brought him hot tea.

This little loli is so cute and has a sweet mouth.

Kamiya and Tsukada Satake exchanged greetings in the living room for a while, and found a suitable moment to explain their purpose: "Mr. Tsukada, actually I came here to ask about the past. As I said, I want to establish a family

A small animation studio.”

Because Tsukada experienced the Tono Soba incident, he came up with the idea of ​​​​retiring from work.

And his Tokuma Studio was acquired by Taisha.

According to Mr. Tsukada’s previous statement, this acquisition and reorganization will bring a large-scale personnel reshuffle to Tokuma Studio.

At that time, some experienced animation industry practitioners will flow into the talent market.

Kamiyagawa had made a wishful thinking before. He planned to win over some animation production staff from the original Tokuma Studio to form a small studio of his own.

It is now late July, and the acquisition of Tokuma Studio has been finalized.

So Kamiya came to Tsukada Satake with gifts and sincerity.

"Sure enough, you haven't given up on this idea yet. I really admire your determination to stick to your dream." Tsukada chuckled. Since he was relieved of work, he seemed to be a lot more relaxed and friendly. He was no longer the first person.

He felt tense and serious when he saw me, "I had planned to contact you in the past two days, it just happened."

Mr. Tsukada said, pulling out a pamphlet from the drawer of the coffee table and handing it over.

Kamiya took it and opened it to see some names, contact information, and position written on it.

Like original animator, 3D producer, production manager, animation director, coloring, editing, etc.

Tsukada Satake: "These are very good guys. They are leaving the reorganized Tokuma for various reasons. If Mr. Kamiya is interested, you can try to contact them. But it depends on whether you are willing to join your studio.

It’s their personal wishes.”

"It helped a lot."

Kamiyagawa also had a good preview of the process of establishing an animation studio.

Looking at the positions recorded in the brochure, if we recruit all these people, we can really form a grass-roots team of our own.

If work such as voice acting is outsourced, more than a dozen professionals performing their respective duties are enough to support the operation of a low-cost animation.

However, it is somewhat unrealistic to use all the people in this book for your own use.

These people also left the reorganized Tokuma for various reasons, and their needs for the next job were different.

All Kamiyagawa can do at present is to offer them the same salary as Tokuma, and bring [Thousand Silver Needles·Change] with them and visit them one by one to see if he can use his "childhood animation dream"

Such passionate words can impress the other party.

After carefully flipping through the booklet Mr. Tsukada gave him, Kamiya's eyes stopped on the second page.

There is a contact whose information is specially marked with an underline -

[Xuse, script writer, contact number...]

The script writer, that is, the animation script writer, is equivalent to the screenwriter.

A key player in animation production who is responsible for adapting copyrighted works or creating original animation plots.

The plot of an animated work depends entirely on the creation and performance of the script writer. Therefore, the script creator has become the position most likely to be criticized by the audience after the supervisor.

The only scriptwriter that Mr. Tsukada could contact was this one.

Well, "Xuse" is obviously a pen name.

"This Xuse teacher?"

"Oh, his real name is Chiaki Miyake. He is a very good script writer and original writer. I think he is a young genius. Has Kamiya heard of "The Legend of the Stick Brave"? That was his debut in writing light novels.

A masterpiece that won a prize at the Dengeki Novel Awards."

Mr. Tsukada has a very high opinion of Kyoshi.

It is said that this teacher became famous as a teenager when he wrote light novels, and he is still very young now. Tsukada Satake was considered to have a keen eye at the beginning, but it still took a lot of effort to win him over to join the studio.

Tokuma Studio's main animation project last year was for Kyoshiki to be responsible for the script and script supervision.

The animation industry also has very good reviews for Xu Se, and occasionally people will mention him together with another senior figure in the industry.

Of course, as a newcomer who has just emerged in the industry, there is still a huge career gap between Xu Se and the knife-loving boss.

But this can be regarded as a kind of recognition, indicating that his future is promising and his future is limitless.

Kamiyagawa: "It sounds like Mr. Kyoseki is Tokuma's ace script writer?"

Tsukada Satake: "That's right."

"Then why didn't he stay in the reorganized Tokuma?"

"This... I don't know. The club that originally acquired Tokuma also valued him very much and offered him a big price in the hope that he would stay. At first, I had reached an agreement with him. But the day before yesterday, he suddenly refused to sign.

Regarding the contract, maybe he plans to go it alone. With his talent, writing his own light novel is also a very good way out."

"That's right." Kamiya smiled bitterly, "Then I think it's unrealistic to persuade such a person to join my little-known studio."

"Try it... maybe you can impress him. After all, he is also a young man."

"Well, can you give me Teacher Xuse's address?"

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

A good animation script writer is very important for Kamiya to establish an animation studio.

Moreover, it can be regarded as a soul character.

After all, Kamiya can not interfere in other aspects of animation production, but he only has his own absolutely unchangeable requirements for animation scripts. His primary purpose in creating animation is to spread the faith of his shikigami.

If it doesn't work out, we can only consider letting Wenche Yafei learn script writing.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Kamiya’s training position for Xiaowen Che is to be the general affairs of the studio, the director system, etc., and the manager who coordinates the overall situation.

In this way, he can be the hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.

It may be a bit too difficult for Bunche Yaobi to fully take care of script writing. Even if Kaitan itself requires less rest time than humans, there are only 24 hours in a day.

Let’s take one step at a time.



Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

rain.

This is an apartment building in Roppongi.

A black Honda car passed through the pouring rain and parked in the parking lot next to the apartment building. Sitting in the car was a man in his mid-twenties.

He looked a little tired and upset, as if he hadn't had a good rest recently.

The man was wearing a standard suit for office workers, and the time now was three o'clock in the afternoon, not the normal off-duty time.

He sat in the cab, rubbed his messy hair, rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

Raindrops pattered on the front windshield, meandering into streams of water.

There were also many gaps along the opening of the windows on the side of the cab, splashing onto the men's sleeves.

Halfway through his cigarette, he took out his phone.

Toot——

I made a call and no one answered.

"Damn it!"

The man clenches his fist and knocks on the steering wheel.

His body is very strong, and you can see good muscle lines even in a suit. Perhaps he is more like an athlete than an office worker.

After a few more minutes, the man put out the cigarette butt and made another call.

This time, the call was connected.

"Hello?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing this voice, the man was a little angry: "Qianzhang, what on earth are you doing!?"

"Ah, brother. Sorry, sorry."

The voice on the phone was obviously apologetic.

The man's name is Kouta Miyake, and on the other side of the phone is his younger brother, Chiaki Miyake.

"What's going on with you? I didn't see you here yesterday, and I couldn't get through the phone today. Just because of you, I asked for leave from the company. What are you doing!?"

"Ask for leave? Big brother, you?"

"I'm downstairs at your house!"

"No, no. Brother, I'm not at home. I'm really sorry."

beep--

The phone hangs up.

Miyake Yasuta was obviously angry. He clenched his fist and smashed the steering wheel again, causing the Honda car to sound an alarm and beep. However, the sound was completely covered by the sound of heavy rain, and only the dazzling double flashlights danced in the rain curtain.

"This guy!"

When the Miyake brothers were very young, their father passed away and they grew up with their mother.

But last year, the year after his younger brother Chiaki Miyake graduated from college, their mother also passed away due to illness.

At this point, in this world, the only relatives these brothers have from the same family are each other.

Both brothers left their hometown and lived in Tokyo.

As adults, their relationship is not particularly close. In short, it is not as close as it was when they were children. Adults always seem to have their own things and worries.

However, the Miyake brothers still contact each other regularly once a month, have a meal together and catch up on each other's current situation.

Yesterday was the time they agreed to have dinner together.

Miyake Kouta waited for half an hour at the izakaya last night, but there was still no trace of his brother. He just received a call from the other party. In the call, Chiaki did not explain in detail the reason why he missed the appointment. He just said that he was busy with something and could not make it for the time being.

Kangtai drank for a while in depression and then went home.

This morning, he called his brother's number again, but the call was still unreachable, and it remained so until the afternoon.

Miyake Kouta had no choice but to ask for leave from the company and drive to the downstairs of his brother's house.

"That guy is avoiding me? I know...he looks down on me. Maybe he is hiding upstairs and laughing at me now."

Miyake Kouta rolled up the car window and planned to drive away.

The Honda vibrated twice and started normally.

But Kangtai's hand stopped shaking the steering wheel again. He glanced at the left glass and towards the apartment building next to him. The car window was completely wet with rain, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"What a bastard!"

Kang Tai didn't know what he was thinking, so he turned off the car again, took the passenger's umbrella, and got out of the car cursing.

The sky weighed down like a huge lead weight.

In the distance, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, making a huge roar, which illuminated the sky and the earth in a vast expanse of white.

Miyake Kouta held an umbrella that was shaken by the strong wind and walked towards the apartment building that was blurred by the rain.



Downstairs in the apartment.

Snapped.

Kang Tai put away his umbrella.

It was obviously not too far from the parking lot, but because of the heavy rain, he was still half wet.

"The suit I just bought."

The Miyake brother began to curse again.

He doesn't like summer very much.

This season is sultry and changeable, with clear skies and heavy rains switching abruptly.

Just like today.

If he had known that there would be a sudden heavy rain in the afternoon, he would not have come to his brother's place.

In addition, Miyake Kouta also... doesn't like his younger brother very much.

How should I put it, maybe it’s not that I don’t like it, but something else.

Kang Tai walked upstairs with a dripping umbrella.

My brother's house is on the fourth floor of an apartment. There is no elevator in this apartment.

The voice-activated lights in the stairs didn't light up. I don't know if it was because of the daytime or if they were broken. With the heavy rain that I didn't know when it would stop, the walk up was dark and depressing.

When did you start not liking your younger brother?

Miyake Kouta couldn't tell.

In fact, when they were young, their relationship as brothers was very close.

Kang Tai was a model brother at that time.

The younger brother Qianzhang has been an inconspicuous bean sprout since he was a child. He is a character who is not taken seriously in the class and has a timid personality.

Such people can easily become targets of bullying.

This is indeed true. When he was in junior high school, Qianzhang was bullied by the bad boys in the class.

When Kang Tai, who was in high school at the time, found out about this incident, he skipped class and waited outside his younger brother's school. He dragged the two bullying brats into the alley and gave them a good beating.

So far, no one in the school dares to bully his younger brother anymore.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So, when did you start not liking it?

"ah……"

Kangtai continued to walk upward, the rainwater from the umbrella dripping on his shoes.

He has already reached the fourth floor.

Because of the rain, the corridor was also very dark.

Also, it's a bit cold here.

When he was a child, Chiaki was very attached to Kouta, perhaps because he didn't have a father.

In high school, Kang Tai was a high-profile presence in the school.

He is the ace of the baseball club.

People around him said that Kang Tai would play Koshien in the future and become a sports star.

He is a proud man of heaven, and his life will not be ordinary.

At that time, Qian Zhang was... inconspicuous, really inconspicuous.

Kang Tai is used to and enjoys the feeling of being a dazzling older brother and being admired by his younger brother who is ignorant and is inferior in every aspect.

But since when did things become different?

Maybe it started when Chiaki started writing those stupid light novels...

When Kota Miyake went to college, everything changed.

He finally sadly realized that the baseball ace in a small town school was really nothing.

There are many geniuses in this world.

The vast majority of people are destined to be ordinary.

But his younger brother unexpectedly became extraordinary.

The light novel written by Chiaki won an award from Dengeki Bunko.

At this point, the identities of the two brothers were swapped when they were young. The older brother became an inconspicuous social beast that could be seen everywhere, while the younger brother became a highly anticipated and sought-after novelist.

How could this happen?

I am the dazzling one, and I am the one who is admired.

So, it's not that I don't like my brother.

But...

"...but jealousy."

Miyake Kouta is jealous of his younger brother.

Thinking like this, he had already reached the door of his brother's house and stood there in a daze.
