New Century Anime Warrior

My trip to Singapore was short, but it was wonderful.

Not only did he gain the opportunity to participate in a Disney animated film, but he also acquired a formidable member for Kevin Chen's Greater China team.

Moreover, "Let You Down" has finally found a suitable male singer, and even the singer for the new anime theme song has been found.

During this period, no one could sing more bitterly than the God of War under the car.

In this world, A-Du has been wasting several years without making a debut and is still working as a construction worker.

All I can say is that I made a profit.

At first, Chen Kaiwen didn't believe in the so-called God of War, but after he had the construction worker sing a song that Si Hua had written on the spot...

The Chen brothers were dumbfounded.

"You're a fucking genius! What's the name of this song?"

Chen Kaiwen has already arranged for someone to negotiate a contract with the construction worker.

"He Must Love You Very Much"

"Is this the origin of the 'Undercar God of War'?"

"Hey."

After seeing that A-Du agreed to sign the contract, Si Hua also left Chen Kaiwen with two unforgettable sad love songs.

Besides the one mentioned above, there's "When It Gets Dark" and another one called "Persist to the End".

Of course, most importantly, we need to let A-Du record his two ACG songs first.

A week later.

"Young Master Hua, do you know?"

At this moment, Chen Kaiwen was simultaneously holding a three-way remote meeting with Si Hua, who had returned to Beijing, and Chen Yan, who was in Taiwan.

"What do you know?"

"Adu's high school grades were not ideal."

???

Is this something I can hear?

However, Kevin Chen might not know this reference, since he grew up in the United States, but Chen Yan's expression was already quite distorted.

As a Taiwanese investor, he was likely on-site and immediately following the updates.

"He didn't even graduate from junior high school."

"So his English is terrible, and his Japanese is even worse."

Chen Kaiwen rubbed his temples and sighed.

"And he has absolutely no music theory background; he just relies on his raw, fleshy voice to sing."

"...Then at least let him record 'Let You Down' before New Year's Day or the Spring Festival, right? I've already promised the fans."

Si Hua was also having a headache. She was so focused on getting the voice right that she didn't realize that A-Du was a complete novice when it came to music.

I never expected my English to be so bad.

It's one thing if someone's Japanese is bad, but since the English of islanders is generally bad, it's normal for a Chinese person to have bad Japanese.

But it would be too embarrassing if one's English was worse than that of people from island nations.

"Let me think of another way."

-----------------

As expected, not everything goes smoothly.

After the remote meeting ended, Si Hua sighed and wandered around his loyal Silky Studio.

The studio is currently run by Si Hua and Su Wanqiu alone.

Li Jiaming's music group consisted of only one person, and he was basically just a tool. He did whatever Si Hua asked him to do, and he did it very well.

According to Gao Guorong, he was initially blinded by Gao's solid foundation.

He has almost no creative ability, but he is an excellent music worker.

Besides Si Hua and the shoe covers, the animation team has two other members. One is a young girl named Zhao Yue who is in charge of 2D animation and special effects. During the interview, she said that she came because of Lin Lin. She is a fangirl and cosplayer.

The other one is a thirty-something-year-old guy named Wang Lei, who is in charge of scene modeling and UI. He is a jack-of-all-trades in the animation team and knows a little bit about everything.

Of the remaining people, apart from Sister Liu, who was an all-around administrative leader, they were all from the game development team.

The game development team was led by Su Wanqiu, a full-stack master... Nobody knows why she, who studied interactive art, was able to get all the key computer technologies for game development working.

Maybe this is true love.

The team includes Li Haoming, who is in charge of the client-side program; Zhang Yuan, who is in charge of the back-end; Lin Xiaoxia, who is in charge of execution planning; and Qin Haojie, Si Hua's high school classmate, who came part-time to research algorithms and numerical values.

When Qiu Yin recommended Qin Haojie to Si Hua, he was astonished...

Shouldn't this top math student be studying mechanical engineering?

Why did Teacher Qiu say he went to study computer science?

Or is it related to algorithms and numerical methods?

The world line has deviated again.

In short, Silky Studio is full of talented people, each with their own unique skills.

Putting everything else aside, just the snacks that Sister Liu prepares for the studio every time are incredibly delicious and can satisfy everyone's tastes at once—it's amazing.

Anyone who has done logistics procurement knows how difficult it is.

"Boss, we definitely won't be able to finish all three OVA episodes before the Spring Festival. It's a bit rushed."

"I single-handedly took on ten roles, including scriptwriting, supervision, storyboarding, art direction, cinematography, 3DCG, and editing. How could I not make it in time?"

Si Hua read out the list of job titles fluently, and then added a probing question at the end.

"Scriptwriting and supervision are your responsibilities, boss. We have Lei Ge and Shoe Cover Guy helping with art direction and photography, and Wanqiu and the others supporting 3DCG. Besides, we haven't even reached the post-production editing stage yet..."

Zhao Yue bombarded her boss with criticism: "Don't fool yourself, okay? Don't actually take Sister Yanqiu's press release seriously!"

"If you keep talking, I won't let Lin Lin give you the latest autographed poster."

Si Hua broke down; this woman didn't seem like a good match.

"I'm sorry, boss, I was wrong!"

Zhao Yue immediately backed down.

"Tell me some good news, I want to hear it," Si Hua said, changing the subject as he went.

"The voice acting and new version testing for 'The Edge Walker' are all complete. Once the new end credits song is finished, we can release the update file."

"The game development team's current focus is on assisting the animation team with their technical work, prioritizing the progress of '5 Centimeters Per Second,' and the development of new games is temporarily on hold."

Upon hearing the report, Lin Xiaoxia, the executive planner, took the initiative to report, as she had now become the studio's chief secretary.

At first, she was just asked to act as a meeting recorder and take notes.

It turned out that she was very familiar with the entire studio's business progress and could coordinate the work arrangements of various teams like a thread connecting needles—this was already the function of an executive vice president.

We've really struck gold!

"I always said that Sister Xia is the pillar of our studio. All eleven of us in the Silky Smooth Team 3 rely on her to carry the team."

Si Hua was very satisfied and turned to Lin Xiaoxia to ask, "Can we edit together enough footage from '5 Centimeters Per Second' to make a promotional trailer?"

"Actually, not only the promotional trailer materials, but also all the materials for the first episode's cherry blossom scene have been completed."

"Based on the melody provided by the boss, Brother Jiaming had already perfected all the sound effects and background music a long time ago, but he was still stuck on the theme song."

"Isn't this quite efficient?" Si Hua thought the progress had only just begun.

His earlier statement about meeting before the Spring Festival was actually a lie; he wasn't even very confident that he could meet the deadline.

Without bringing forward the deadlines, where would their sense of urgency come from?

Anyone who has worked as a project manager understands.

So, I'm a wicked capitalist after all?

Si Hua sighed inwardly for a moment, then made a decision, saying, "Let's edit the first episode of Cherry Blossom Chronicles first, and see if we can finish it before New Year's Day!"

"We are striving to release the first episode simultaneously in China and Japan."

After saying that, Si Hua slammed his hand on the table, as if to demonstrate his determination.

"Oh, good luck."

"What does it mean?"

Si Hua was taken aback. Zhao Yue's words were so calm. His boss had been so passionate and eloquent, and this was his reaction?

"Didn't you just say that you're the editor?"

Si Hua immediately turned red and rushed into the editing room.

The door slammed shut.

He was also shouting lines that seemed to be from some anime.

"You'll regret this!"

Is the eldest brother out of his mind and doesn't he check the calendar?

Everyone remained silent.

A few minutes later, Si Hua, the dog, timidly poked his head out and asked casually, "Which folder do we keep the footage from '5 Centimeters Per Second'?"
