Chapter 8 Diary
The taste of eel rice is indeed very fragrant. Although Zhang Beichuan's appetite is not large, he actually eats a lot. Although he is hungry, it is also because he has not eaten hot food for a long time. Zhang Beichuan usually eats a lot.
What I ate was a bento from a convenience store. Although there was a microwave oven that could be heated, the taste of eating it regularly was very unfriendly to Zhang Beichuan.
"Senior, tell me, are the original animations produced by our company really popular?" Miyamori Aoi asked with some worry.
"Everything is unknown before any animation is completed and launched. Isn't that the case in the animation industry now? No matter how good the quality reputation is, it is possible to lose money. This is not certain. However, our current task is to better support the company
Producing the best quality, as for performance, these are things that the supervisor and the president have to consider. Don’t think too much. What you have to consider now is how to integrate into Musashino as soon as possible." Erica Yano chuckled.
"I see."
"Senior Erica, how long have you been working on the production?" Zhang Beichuan asked curiously.
"Well... let me think about it, it's been a long time." Erica Yano thought for a while: "It should be a year after graduating from college. After graduating from college, I worked at Kyoto Animation for a while."
"Wow, isn't that a famous big shrine? Why do you want to leave?" Takanashi Taro exclaimed.
Zhang Beichuan is also very curious. The full name of Kyoto Animation is: Kyoto Animation Co., Ltd.
Maybe many people are not familiar with this name, but its nickname is very famous.
That is, Kyoto, KyoAni, and Kyo Purple are famous in China!
Not only in China, District 11 is also a top animation company.
"Because I had just graduated from college at that time, something happened." Seeing everyone looking at her, Erica Yano corrected: "It's not a matter in Kyoto, but a private matter at home, so I had to leave."
"That's it." Zhang Beichuan nodded.
After eating, it was already evening, and everyone left one after another. Zhang Beichuan got on the tram alone and went to a nearby convenience store.
At this time, the bento boxes in the bento area were on sale, and the prices were much cheaper than during the day. Originally, Zhang Beichuan wanted to choose the plum rice balls that he usually eats, but after hesitating, he finally chose a udon bento box.
.
When he returned home, Zhang Beichuan placed the bento on the table. It was not summer now, so it wouldn't spoil after leaving it overnight.
The space here can be said to be very small. With his clothes still in the closet where he slept, Zhang Beichuan placed the table lying next to him in front of him, sat on the tatami, took out a diary and started recording.
The Habit of Diary Zhang Beichuan had just arrived in District 11. Due to language problems, he had to keep notes every day. Over time, Zhang Beichuan developed the habit of keeping a diary. I don’t know when.
Zhang Beichuan has written dozens of diaries, but the earliest diary was lost. This made Zhang Beichuan, who has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, a little uncomfortable. After looking for it for a long time, he didn't know where it was.
...
Tuesday, March 4th, weather: sunny.
Today is strictly my first day at Musashino. I’m very tired, with all kinds of chores and chores. This is just now. If the company’s new project officially starts, it will definitely be even busier. However, today I am also very busy with everyone in the company.
They met once, the strict and soft-hearted Erica-senpai, Takaretarou who couldn't distinguish the situation, and...his colleague Miyamori Aoi.
Although I met her once when I was applying for a job, the feeling of becoming a colleague is still a little different. She is very beautiful and fits my aesthetic. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to try to pursue her in the future.
...
However, Zhang Beichuan finished writing this short diary article in a while. It was very fast. After all, today is still fresh in my memory.
"It's time to practice painting." Zhang Beichuan took out his computer and opened the 'P station'.
The full name of Station P is PIXIV. This is a website where art illustration enthusiasts from all over the world gather. All kinds of painters from all over the world will publish their works on it, including people from any country.
Among them, there are many big names gathered inside, including newcomers and some with big contacts.
When Zhang Beichuan was just learning painting in China, he didn't even know there was such a thing as P Station. The first time he heard about it was when a classmate accidentally mentioned it.
Because P station is set up in District 11, Zhang Beichuan went through a lot of trouble to get into P station. It was very troublesome to get over the wall and ask the boss for tutorials. But now that he is in District 11, he doesn’t have to go through such trouble.
Just open the software on your computer.
There are some well-known illustrators lurking in the P station itself, and there are also many original painters. They all draw and have a common space.
Randomly finding a very difficult and beautiful illustration, Zhang Beichuan took out his digital tablet and started copying it.
Painting itself started with copying. The most commonly used method to improve one's painting ability is copying ability. Now Zhang Beichuan's painting skills have reached a bottleneck period. Except for the painting that entered the dream space last night, it broke through itself.
Apart from his strength, Zhang Beichuan's painting skills have remained static.
In fact, if you want to become an original painter, Zhang Beichuan's hard skills are enough. Original paintings are different from illustrations. Illustrations should be exquisite and detailed, with their own characteristics, while original paintings are to draw the main key frames of the characters according to the split shots.
But perhaps due to some special psychological factors, Zhang Beichuan always wanted to improve his painting skills, whether it was illustrations or original paintings.
Zhang Beichuan carefully observed that the ID name is: Kawakami Yunlan. This is an illustrator that Zhang Beichuan likes very much. He has shared many of his illustrations on the P station. He is also the artist that Zhang Beichuan likes to copy the most.
The most amazing thing about his illustrations is that the characters in them are so... handsome!
The illustrations themselves are very beautiful and beautiful, but the illustrations of 'Kawakami Yunlan' are especially good, and the writing skills are also very sophisticated, making him a very powerful illustrator.
The reason why you don't hear his name in the illustration world is that this ID is not his real pen name.
Moreover, Zhang Beichuan knew him on the Internet, added him as a friend, and had many conversations with him.
Zhang Beichuan carefully observed the color of this illustration, thinking in his mind why Teacher Kitakami painted like this and why he used this color.
What are the details?
For Zhang Beichuan now, he can only use this to improve his painting skills, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Beichuan set himself a study time of one hour, because then he would start completing his illustration task.
There was still some time left before the manuscript was submitted, but Zhang Beichuan couldn't let go of the missing piece, so he thought he should hurry up and finish the work.
The last one left is a color illustration, which is also the cover of the novel. For a light novel, apart from the name, this cover illustration is the most important. After all, for a light novel, the first thing you see is the cover.
, a good cover is simply a buff for the novel, attracting a lot of popularity.
Zhang Beichuan did not start writing immediately, but carefully thought about his composition.
Illustrations are different from copying. Copying has ready-made objects and all you need is an original copy. Your own illustrations must be original and can only be imagined out of thin air.
…
The rough composition has been completed, a lot of time has passed, and he has to go to work tomorrow, so Zhang Beichuan stopped writing and started to wash up and go to bed.
Chapter completed!
