Chapter 220: Big Japan Cuteness Plan

As the saying goes, a menstrual injury will cause bone pain for a hundred days.

The gangster's bullet hit Bruce's bones, and Bruce could not return to normal as quickly as Lin Shenhe, who was shot continuously.

Until mid-June, Bruce's leg injury had not healed, but fortunately, according to the doctor, there would probably be no sequelae.

At this time, Catherine also returned to Hong Kong again.

As soon as she arrived in Hong Kong, Catherine received a call from Japan - Carter had once again recruited a group of Japanese painters.

After hearing the news, Catherine went from Hong Kong to Japan without stopping.

Now that the painters have been recruited, the animation can start shooting.

Of course, Catherine has to teach these painters a lesson first, and that is to teach them what cuteness is.

"Carter, you did a great job."

Indeed, many tasks would be difficult without Carter's help, so Catherine really felt that he was very good.

"Thank you, Miss Edson."

The other party has outstanding abilities, and Catherine will certainly not treat him badly. Carter's salary has increased by 50%.

"Where are those Japanese painters?"

"Well, a group of painters have been recruited."

"Okay, you organize them... I'm going to teach them a lesson."

Although Catherine was in class, Carter was also with her. After all, not everyone in Japan knew English, or in other words, they would think that Catherine's English was extremely substandard—Japanese English was a rip-off.

What Catherine wants to teach the Japanese is one of the essences of animation - cuteness.

"Class?" Carter was a little surprised.

"That's right."

Catherine was quite confident. She had already prepared the content of her lecture.

Carter was dubious, but he still brought all the painters to the conference room of the Umbrella Company branch for Catherine.

When these painters learned that they had to undergo some training, they were a little surprised, especially when they saw that the "teacher" Catherine in the class was such a young girl, they were even more surprised.

But Catherine's salary is very high, so they all look very serious.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to our company. This time, I mainly want to tell you some concepts about animation. This is also a theme for you in the future painting and creation process."

Catherine pointed to the whiteboard.

On the whiteboard, the word "cute" is written.

"The so-called 'cute' means cute, but 'cute' is more than just cute. Cute is just a form of cuteness."

After hearing what Catherine said, the painters seemed a little confused.

"This... the specific meaning of 'cute' can only be expressed in words, not understood. The most vivid way is to express it through animation, so after the completion of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I will let you make a

This movie completely understands the meaning of 'cute'."

There is nothing better than using animation to help these people understand.

In fact, Catherine also found this matter very interesting.

——If the Japanese started to use the word "cute" 30 years in advance, what will the Japanese look like two generations later?

Will he start to become effeminate?

It seems very interesting.

Well, right.

Let’s just call this plan the “Great Japanese Girlification Plan”.

But after all, not everyone likes Nianghua or Lily, so after thinking about it, Catherine still felt that this plan might not be feasible.

"There are many kinds of cute objects. It is not easy to find a unified image, and it is not limited by the form that can be expressed."

Catherine picked up the pen and began to draw attentively on the whiteboard. Soon, the head of a typical female cartoon image appeared on the whiteboard.

"Let's take this character as an example."

Catherine said.

"First of all, let's start with the hair. There are many types of 'cute' hairstyles, such as ponytails, double ponytails, Ji hairstyle..."

Catherine's character is indeed very beautiful, and this "beautiful" feeling is indeed different from the rough cartoons nowadays.

"There are many characteristics of cute girls, for example - larger eyes, just like this character of mine, the size of the eyes reaches one-fifth of the face. In addition, there is a smaller nose and a flatter face.

, taller pupils, etc.”

Catherine is very well prepared for this aspect.

Then, Catherine asked Carter to write the several requirements she just mentioned on the whiteboard.

Cute features include other aspects of the body shape, small limbs, relatively large head, multi-colored hair, childish face, and antenna-like hair on the head...

Seeing that it was almost done, Catherine started to talk about the second item.

"And the second step of cuteness is to become a girl. The so-called girlification is to turn a man into a woman. The more powerful a man is, the cuter, sexier and more beautiful he will be after becoming a woman."

Catherine's favorite character in her previous life was Er, known as the "King of Silly Hair".

This anime character is the feminine King Arthur.

By the way, Catherine's appearance in this life is somewhat similar to her favorite anime character, but unfortunately, the character in the anime has blue eyes, while Catherine's eyes are blue, and they look a bit different.

What's more, Catherine is too tall.

If you go to lay Bai Ji or something, maybe it will be more like it.

Sometimes, Catherine thought, does this mean she has been effeminate?

But there seems to be something different...

"Let me show you how."

Catherine drew what a man in military uniform looked like.

Then he said: "Look, this man has the following characteristics - military temperament, black eyes and hair, then his girly image should be like this -"

A painting takes at least ten minutes or even more than half an hour, but these painters feel that they have benefited a lot.

Soon, a beautiful woman in military uniform appeared.

On her legs are a pair of military pants that are the same as hot pants, and the original T-shirt has been turned into a tube top, but the original characteristics of this woman are still retained, making her even more attractive than the original male.

I feel heroic.

The painters nodded.

It turns out...this is sissy

"Then, comes the third step of cuteness - everything can be cute. No matter what it is, we can turn it into art that the public loves to see."

Catherine smiled.

"Is it...anthropomorphic?"

Some painters seem to have figured it out.

"Yes, cute and anthropomorphic."

Before Catherine came to this world, there had even been comics with humanoid parasites as girlfriends in Japan. Japan used their "Japanese speed" to illustrate what "everything can be cute" is about.

Animations like "Octopus Girl" are even more common, and their lethality to otakus is almost...

However, Catherine herself feels that "everything can be cute" is somewhat unacceptable.

A man can fall in love with the parasites in his body and fall in love with cockroaches...

Well, the Japanese aesthetics are sometimes really distorted to an extent.

Classes still have to be taken.

Catherine continued: "For example... cats."

Catherine continued to draw on the whiteboard, and soon, a cat-eared girl appeared.

"Kawaii..."

Some female painters' eyes immediately began to sparkle with golden light.

"When an animal or other object becomes a human being, we must retain some of the characteristics of the animal or object itself."

When the painters accepted this new concept, they found it very interesting.

Catherine reminded again: "Of course, there must be a certain degree of cuteness. We can't make everyone feel aesthetic fatigue. This is also very important..."

After some explanations, Catherine finally finished the lesson.

Catherine knows that painters all have their own styles, so Catherine is just pointing out a general direction... Maybe some famous painter in the future will be her student.

After all the painters left, Catherine let out a long sigh of relief.

She didn't know that what she did today would have an impact on the future - but it was really interesting.

Catherine also thought that maybe she could develop some acg and other games.

But before doing so, I have one thing to accomplish, which is to prevent elements such as adult and hentai from polluting the concept of "cute".

At least, before the cute culture was popularized, Catherine would not do this, and would even sue the other party.

——Although the reason why Catherine studied comics in her previous life was because she wanted to draw an H comic...

Catherine feels that if there are some adult elements, it doesn't seem to matter, but she must consider the acceptance of mainstream culture.

Animation culture has never entered the mainstream of Japan, and a big reason is because of these adult factors.

As long as cuteness culture becomes mainstream culture and then we start promoting adult elements, there will be no problem.

In fact, Catherine feels that the Japanese are really perverted sometimes. Even though the AV industry is so developed, they still want to restrict the development of the adult animation industry, and they also deceive themselves and others by putting mosaics on the film - don't they know how to read it all?

a. Do you naturally have no desire in your heart?

Japanese culture has been distorted since ancient times.

For example, a "wandering girl" carries a straw mat with her, and then settles the matter on the spot after reaching an agreement with the guest.

For example, the women who came to China to migrate to China in ancient times, and the Pan Pan (ji. female) who specialized in serving American soldiers in the 1940s.

"Cute".

Catherine simply gave her new studio a name like this.

"Greater East Asia Cuteness Circle..."

Catherine wrote this again in her notebook.

Then, she thought of something else, and wrote "Miyazaki Tsutomu" in her notebook.

The reason why otakus have a bad image in Japan is largely due to this person’s abuse of women...
