"Amamiya-sensei," Ayumi called out, "Ready?"
She looked at the closed door in front of her, somewhat anxious, as she had an appointment with the animation production company today.
Ever since Ren almost forgot about the Newcomer Grand Prize Award Ceremony last time, Ayumi decided to come and remind him in person whenever there was something.
And this time she would accompany him.
So there was no problem reminding him.
But Ayumi didn't expect...
Ren seemed to have forgotten today.
You see, he hasn't come out yet.
"Almost ready, wait for me, wait for me for a bit."
Ren's somewhat frightened voice came from behind the door, which further confirmed Ayumi's thoughts.
But she had no choice but to remain seated on the sofa, waiting impatiently.
But Pochita seemed to perceive Ayumi's anger at that moment, so she approached her very humanely.
"Woof, woof!"
She rubbed her head against Ayumi's slender, round calf.
Ayumi instantly calmed down a bit. She smiled and stroked Pochita's head, saying: "Hehe, cute Pochita-chan is still the best, cute and sensible."
At that moment, Ren was in the room...
He stared intently at the virtual page that only he could see and shouted:
"System! Give it to me!"
"Hurry! Do something, System!"
"Give me diamonds...! No, platinum is fine!"
That's right, Ren is drawing in the System...
Just now, Ayumi told him that he remembered the animation production.
In fact, the animation production of "Edgerunners" shouldn't be a big problem. As long as the other party completely reproduces the manga he adapted from the original animation and adds some details,
he will be able to directly reproduce the animation of "Edgerunners" from his previous life.
But... there's another aspect Ren needs to pay special attention to:
the music.
The widow's song must be inserted into the animation; otherwise, it won't have that touch.
But although he can hum, he cannot write sheet music.
That's why he wants the System to give him the ability to create music and then write a score.
However, the current skills in the System's mall do not have this ability.
So Ren can only, tragically, start the 500-point lottery per draw.
But he didn't forget the trick the System gave him last time, the scene of diamonds coming out.
So this time, he still had the idea that the System would help him and started the System's lottery.
However...
"[I Look Ordinary (Platinum)]"
"[Emperor Engine (Gold)]"
"[King of Kings (Gold)]"
"[I'm Just a Middle-aged Man with an Aging Face (Platinum)]"
"[You Must Reason With Me (Gold)]"
"[The Whole World is Learning Abstract Words (Diamond)]"
"[Guide to Time Travel to Ancient Times (Platinum)]"
"[Hair Spray Hands (Silver)]"
...
"Ahhhhhh! System!"
Ren gritted his teeth, "It's the thirty-eighth draw! You're kidding!"
Thirty-eight draws, 500 points each time, and he lost almost 20,000 points.
However, he still didn't get any music skills...
Ren felt overwhelmed. Although he already had another 70,000 points, he couldn't waste them like this.
"The lottery has nothing to do with the System. Please keep trying."
The System replied coldly.
Ren gritted his teeth. Giving up was impossible.
He just couldn't believe that he couldn't get a music skill after so many draws.
"At most, I can get 50 times. You have to give me a guarantee for 50 times, right?" Ren said, and then...
the fiftieth time...
the page showed:
"[Legendary Musician (Diamond)]".
Ren's eyes were filled with excitement. Finally...
at that moment...
"Amamiya-sensei!"
Ren immediately replied: "Hello! I'm coming right away!"
In an elegant office building in Tokyo, on the sixth floor.
At the reception, there's a sign with the four large characters "Trigger Animation".
Those unfamiliar with animation might not be familiar with this name.
But for those who have been paying attention for years, or even those working in the ACG cultural industry, I believe it is not unfamiliar.
Although it was founded less than ten years ago, the animations produced during these years are of absolutely top quality and have sold very well.
With this record, Trigger Studios has become one of Japan's top ten animation production companies and one of the industry leaders.
It has also reached a collaboration agreement with Akatsuki Cultural Company. Every year, many manga from Akatsuki Cultural Company are animated by their hands.
The sixth floor of this office building houses the offices of Trigger Studios' main department: the animation production department.
But at that moment, they look very nervous and are pacing back and forth.
This piqued the curiosity of other departments at Trigger Studios.
"Huh? Shiori, do you have an important meeting today? Why do you look so nervous?"
One of the employees, curious, drew an employee from the animation production department aside and asked.
"It's because the mangaka of "Edgerunners" is coming today."
The employee replied helplessly: "The mangaka of "Edgerunners" will be the animation supervisor for this animation. Also, it's his first time at our company, so Tanaka-san attaches great importance to it."
"Edgerunners!" the employee suddenly thought.
He is also a fan of "Edgerunners". After all, "Edgerunners" is really good.
It's really good, the theme is really novel, and the setting is really fresh.
Likewise, the 'knife' is also a real knife.
However, "Edgerunners" is truly influential, and the manga itself enjoys enormous popularity.
Once the animation is successfully produced, it will undoubtedly generate huge profits.
Of course, if the animation is not satisfactory, it will be criticized by manga fans.
But, in general, the benefits of works with great popularity are much greater than the risks.
Furthermore, in animation production, it's rare for an original work of excellent quality to turn into a disaster.
However, there are very few cases where the dragon and phoenix are directly modified, and even the original female protagonist is sent to bystanders and the female supporting role is given to the female protagonist.
In general, if the original work is not largely modified, these problems practically don't occur.
"Don't talk anymore, the sensei is coming soon, I'm going to work first."
The employee shook her head and left.
In less than half an hour, two figures appeared in the office building.
