Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Between dreams and reality, Misa chose dreams. ( )

The boss she admired, who made the 3D animation she liked very much, chose reality.

After agreeing to her resignation, her boss picked up the three figures that had been placed next to the computer and looked at them silently. They were animation figures he had made. For him today, dream is such a distant and ethereal word. Looking at Misa, he seemed to see his former self, but Misa chose a completely opposite path to him.

"Shirobako" depicts not only the protagonist, but all living beings. Everyone has their own life, their own choices and dreams. On the long road of life, there will always be separation and reunion. For example, production director Yutaka Honda said in "! "After the perfect ending, for the sake of his dream, he quit his animation job and opened a cake shop that he liked. Miao Sen's colleague Luo He also switched jobs to another large company due to his own reasons. Tianman also recruited new people.

In and out, this is work and life.

"When I saw the interviews of those rookies in "Shirobako", I suddenly thought of myself in the past, and I really wanted to laugh."

He Chen has written about many subjects, but this is the first time he writes about the workplace. It not only covers animation production, but also interviews and recruitment of new people. New things like animation and comics have the largest audience among young people, and this group of people have experienced or are about to face interviews.

"Fresh graduates are asking for advice. Are those statements about interviews in "Shirobako" true?"

"Although different companies have their own recruitment criteria, they are generally the same. Don't be too nervous during the interview. Calm down. I initially regarded the interview as an exam. Now that I think about it, it's a bit funny. Although it looks similar. , in fact, there are fundamental differences between the two. The exam has standard answers, but the interview does not. The interview is a two-way choice. It does not require you to be your best, but requires you to show your characteristics to HR, especially you The kind of characteristics that the company you are interviewing for needs. At a simple distance, such as public relations or sales, you need to show your communication skills and psychological quality; while the R\u0026D department needs you to show your professional qualities; there are also some basic front-line Some jobs require you to show your ability to endure hardships and stand hard work. If you show it and haven't been hired yet, don't be too disappointed. It just means that you are not suitable for this company. After all, the HR recruiters are human beings. As long as we are human, we have subjective biases, which is why we always say that we should leave a good first impression..."

Many people share their experiences in applying for jobs or recruiting online. A group of cute newbies are learning humbly. They feel that just a short plot in an animation has allowed them to learn a lot and benefit from it. endless. Read the full text of the latest chapter

A "! " allowed Miao Sen to grow like never before. In the second animation "Third Flying Girl" received by Tianman,

Miao Sen has grown into a unique production director.

Ema Little Angel has also grown from an original animator to an animator.

Misa switched jobs to another small 3D animation company, and the animation this company undertook this time was "The Third Flying Girl".

Midori Imai joined the production team of "The Third Flying Girl" as a setter because he had helped Tianman look up some information.

Shizuka also received an audition for "The Third Flying Girl".

Just like their dreams, the five people finally came together to make the same animation!

However... Shizuka failed in her audition.

"Torturing Shizuka while eating and sleeping, the devil is seeking his own death!"

"I just said, how could the big devil make such a beautiful story? He must have put all his malice on Shizuka. Poor Shizuka, was played in the palm of the big devil!"

Even if you are not a fan of Shizuka's party, you really can't stand Shizuka's miserable condition. She is simply a modern white-haired girl.

In the story, the original author of "Third Flying Mountain" requested that the characters be redone, so Tianman's work had to be overturned and redone. After the introduction in the first half, people have already understood the animation production process, and they also understand how difficult this requirement will be for animation.

Just like in the tower push game, the base has only a trace of health left, but the barracks is resurrected!

The gap from hope to despair makes people feel depressed and want to vomit blood.

Especially people who work in the design field understand this feeling that makes people want to go crazy.

Speaking of which, theoretically speaking, the original author cannot interfere with the animation at all. If he could intervene, how could there be such "Tsukihime" and "The Idol Master (2007)" that are selling things like sheep over others? Not to mention the crumbling works lying in their graves.

Only Tianman's He Chen has such authority. All animations must follow his will. If he thinks it's not good, then he will redo it.

After all, it is actually a status issue. If it is an ordinary cartoonist under Tianman or other companies, if Tianman wants to adapt his work into animation, the moment he gets the copyright, it basically has nothing to do with the original author, and the original author's suggestions can only be regarded as a For reference, it is Tianman’s animation production team that really decides the animation.

And if it is a comic by a well-known cartoonist, and a small company obtains the animation adaptation rights, then the original author will have a decisive influence.

The protagonist's company in "Shirobako" is in such a situation at this time. They are a small second-tier company that has experienced a dark history and has just made some progress. "Third Flying Girl" is a currently popular comic. The author's words naturally have a decisive influence. If a small company can obtain comics of this level, there must be a lot of conditions in the contract. Otherwise, how could others agree to them?

In this tense and depressing atmosphere, there is also a breeze blowing from the little angel Ema, which heals people.

Ema's little angel's angel exercise... This is a simple gymnastics used to relieve fatigue. Ema said that after doing it, you will feel like an angel, and the name Ema's little angel comes from this.

In He Chen's original world, only attentive fans would realize that Ema was speaking Chinese when doing this set of gymnastics. It’s an easter egg that makes people smile.

"Angel Ema, I love you!"

"With Ema Little Angel's gymnastics, I no longer have to worry about occupational diseases of the lumbar and cervical spine!"

Just like the group dance of "Haruhi Suzumiya", after the release of this episode, He Chen also specially performed the decomposition exercise of the little angel Ema.

This is really too cute. If he didn't promote this set of angel sex, He Chen would feel really sorry for spying on Ema doing sex in that world.

Many people have fallen in love with this set of gymnastics. People in office buildings and even companies in the whole building are doing this set of gymnastics. They choose a fixed time every morning and afternoon. The sound of Ema echoes throughout the building. Hundreds of people do this gymnastics at the same time.

…

In animation, all scenes have a profound meaning from the director, and there is no meaningless scene. Unlike live-action movies, some may have been shot unintentionally, such as the shape of the clouds in the sky and the texture of the wood on the furniture. Animation is drawn, and it is done intentionally. There will be nothing without intention. It is impossible to draw without intention.

In a sense, animation language is richer, and characters, stories, and scenes contain a variety of information.

Why animation is made? In the second half of the story, this question is thrown up.

Everyone's answers were different, they had dreams and lives, but the last one, Mr. Okura, who was responsible for the background painting of "The Third Flying Girl", left the most profound impression on people.

Mr. Okura has been engaged in art work for 40 years. He said: "I just try my best to do what I find interesting. At first, I wanted to draw a movie billboard, but I didn't succeed. Later, I went through all kinds of things. I entered the animation field without knowing much about it, and then gradually I found the animation background work to be very interesting... Like this, when I came back to my senses, 40 years had passed. Life is really It’s incredible. Even though we are just moving forward, there will be many encounters, and every encounter allows people to see a brand new world. Actually, I didn’t know from the beginning that I wanted to In the direction of progress, when you come back to your senses, you will be here, that's all."

The sentence "that's all" may sound insignificant, but it is the weight of a life without regrets for forty years, which shocks the heart of a rookie who has just entered society.

“During my one year at work, I felt excited about learning new knowledge, proud after completing a project, and excited about a salary increase. Sometimes I could brag to others, which is pretty good when I think about it. But this cannot hide the fact that I really don’t like doing this. After so many years of habitual study and study, what I did for my last job was just a continuation of this habit. From studying hard to studying To handing in drawings on time and calculating materials carefully. Therefore, the happiness I can gain at work is not worth the disgust when my boss tells me that I have nothing to do and come over to work overtime.”

"I sometimes think, it's only one year, this is just a small company, what can be seen, let's see in a few years. But the bigger problem is, I don't know what I want to do. Many hobbies cannot be deepened due to various reasons. I can get self-satisfaction from them, but I have never had the ambition to develop these hobbies into a means of life. In the end, I can't do anything except my major."

"The next graduate school is the second chance I gave myself. Of course, I still have to read books, learn theories, and write programs. If you don't do anything at home during the holidays, you won't get any answers. I hope this will be more After two years of thinking, I was able to find my own path in life, and like the people in "White Box", I encountered a job that I loved and a life that I loved."
