NOVEL NEXT Chapter 65
Chapter 65
After the celebration banquet, Takagi Makoto, as usual, gave the DOS employees a holiday.
However, as the president, he himself drove to the company the next morning.
Since the twentieth episode of the second season of CL was broadcast, he has not been to the company. Today is the first time after a long time.
The office was cleaner than he thought, but after all, he hadn’t been here for a long time, so that he felt a little strange.
He pulled out the chair and sat down, turned on the computer, typed on the keyboard, and wrote Lelouch’s plan.
It doesn’t take a long time to get a draft of the plan.
After that, he found the drawing paper from the drawer and drew the character design.
According to the past practice, after the planning is completed, the script is first written, and then the storyboard is drawn. The character design is drawn at the end. This time, the situation is different, because Takagi Makoto plans to redesign the characters.
Of course, it will not be much different from the original version, but the chin will not be as sharp as the original version, and the overall look will be softer, more biased towards the aesthetics of the audience after ten years.
After all, he is a professional original painter, which is not too difficult for Takagi Makoto, but it takes more time than direct painting.
Time passed bit by bit, until after eight o’clock in the evening, the character design of the protagonist Lelouch was finally done.
But after all, it takes a long time to paint for the first time, and it shouldn’t take so much time in the future.
He printed out the plan he had written in the morning and put it in his briefcase together with the protagonist’s personal design, and prepared to show it to Kawano Akino after he went back.
After having dinner outside, I returned to my temporary residence. It was almost ten o’clock in the evening.
Kawano Akino came back a long time ago, she seemed to be worried, but it was like this at the celebration party, so Takagi Makoto didn’t think much about it.
He took out the results of the whole day’s work and handed it to Akino Kawano, and said at the same time: “Miss Akino, this is the draft plan for the new animation and the protagonist’s personal plan. Look at it.”
Kawano Akino just glanced, but didn’t answer.
“Takagi, your company should have some spare cash now. I think you can set up a production committee led by your DOS, so that you can maximize your benefits.”
“Miss Ming Nai is joking? Qianchuan hasn’t paid all of the revenue we deserve from DOS. Where did the money come from?”
“There will be, and I will call you all in these two days.”
“However, there are still several volumes of DVDs that have not been released for the second season of CL.”
“It’s okay. It will be settled in advance based on the sales of 30,000. The money for DOS is only a very small part of the money made by the animation itself, but it should be enough to establish a production committee led by your DOS. of.”
“…”
Takagi frowned slightly.
Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly asked, “Is there something wrong?”
“No, early settlement is just in case.” Kawano Akino replied.
Takagi Makoto wondered if it was a comforting sentence, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate.
As his mind turned, he said: “If you can settle in advance, you can indeed find a few companies to set up a production committee led by our DOS, but even if a production committee is set up, I also hope that Miss Ming Nai’s company will join, so Let’s ask Miss Ming Nai to take a look first.”
Kawano Akino hesitated for a while, and finally took the plan and the human plan, and then looked through it silently.
The name of the animation is “Lelouch the Rebellious”, and the subject type is “Mecha”, “Ability”, and “Vengeance”.
As for the plot…
The protagonist Lelouch was originally the prince of the superpower Britannia Empire. At the age of 9, his mother, Princess Marianna, was assassinated. His sister was frightened, blind, and paralyzed with both legs. Later, the two brothers and sisters were regarded as Emperors of the Empire. Father sent it to be a hostage.
The protagonist with a grudge gave up his surname and made up his mind to destroy the empire, so as to avenge his mother and build a permanent home for his sister.
In an unexpected event, the protagonist obtained a power. By looking at other people’s eyes and performing powers, others could absolutely obey his orders. So he began to put the plan to crush the empire into practice, using zero as the code name, relying on falsehoods. Covering his identity with his face and cloak, he formed a resistance organization “Black Knights” to set off a rebellion against the empire as the leader of the resistance.
“Rebellious?”
She whispered secretly, then looked up at Takagi Makoto again.
After pondering for a moment, she asked, “Has the protagonist succeeded in revenge?”
Gao Mucheng didn’t answer, but instead asked, “Does Ms. Ming Nai think she can succeed?”
“Who knows.” Kawano Akino whispered softly.
Soon she asked again: “What is the expected sales volume of the new animation?”
“Forty thousand, no matter how it has to sell more than CL, and the audience of this animation is wider, I am also confident in the plot, as long as the promotion is in place, it should be welcomed by more people.” Takagi replied with integrity. road.
“Forty thousand!” Kawano Akino looked very surprised.
Takagi Makoto is very calm: “This time the goal is to hit the top ten of the total sales list, and won the Shiraishi Award and the Kyoto Animation Award by the way.”
Kawano Akino’s eyes glowed when he heard the words, but soon faded.
She flipped through it again at random, and then returned the plan and design to Makoto Takagi.
“If someone else said that, I would probably think that he was cheating on investment, but if you say so, you should be sure of it, but it’s a pity that I can’t give you an answer right now.” Kawano said helplessly.
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.” Gao Mucheng didn’t take it seriously.
He put the plan and the design plan back into the bag, then went upstairs and entered his room.
One night passed.
The next morning, as soon as Makoto Takagi came downstairs, she heard Chiba Reiko say: “Takagi, Akina is home.”
Takagi Makoto: “???”
Chiba Reiko: “She asked me to tell you, don’t go out if you have nothing to do in the past few days.”
“Why?” Takagi Makoto asked quickly.
“It’s nothing, just listen to her.” Chiba Reiko didn’t explain.
Makoto Takagi recalled the conversation with Akino Kawano, and realized something vaguely: “Miss Akino may be in an accident, no wonder she suddenly told me last night that she would settle the revenue share with us in advance of DOS.”
“Oh, she told me about this yesterday, but since she went back, she should have made up her mind.” Chiba Reiko said calmly.
“Huh?” Takagi Makoto was a little confused.
“In short, when she hears from her, you’d better not go out before then.” Chiba Reiko reminded again.
“Okay.” Takagi Makoto nodded.
…
For the next few days, Takagi Makoto did not go out.
CL’s second season’s revenue share was sent to the DOS account in advance, but there has been no news about Kawano Akino, which made Takagi unavoidably worried.
He wants to make a call to Kawano Akino, but Kawano Akino’s cell phone is always turned off.
Seeing that the DOS employees were about to resume work, a phone call suddenly reached Takagi Makoto.
It was not from Akino Kawano, but from Takata Kawano.
Makoto Takagi was puzzled, press the on button, and then listened to Kawano Takata’s cursing voice: “Asshole Makoto Takagi, what did you say to my sister?”
“What’s wrong with her?” Gao Mucheng asked quickly.
“She broke with our Kawano family!” Kawano Takata said irritably.
Takagi Makoto was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly asked, “Can your father agree?”
“Of course I disagree, but my sister doesn’t know from which channel she has collected a lot of black material from our Kawano family. She directly threatened my dad, saying that he would either die together or dissolve the father-daughter relationship. My dad is now very angry. .”
“Ah! Then she wouldn’t be dangerous to do this?”
“Don’t say it’s dangerous, unless we find out my sister’s news channels and do everything in one fell swoop, or are willing to bear the price of the entire family’s vitality, otherwise our Kawano family will have to protect you and my sister in the future.”
“No… this is what your sister did. What does it have to do with me?”
“Of course it matters, because my dad used you to threaten my elder sister first. My elder sister had already agreed to go back to the family to accept the marriage arrangement. Who knows what she is suddenly going crazy?”
“this……”
Takagi Makoto really didn’t expect this incident to have anything to do with him. No wonder Akino Kawano told him not to go out in the last few days.
“You bastard! My sister sacrificed so much for you, you have to be nice to her in the future, otherwise I won’t let you go anyway.” Kawano Takata said again.
Takagi Makoto was slightly surprised: “Then what…Where are you on earth?”
“Of course it’s on my side, can I still stand on your side?” Kawano Takata looked very speechless.
Gao Mucheng felt a little difficult to understand, but he still didn’t ask much, just whispered in his heart: You are a younger brother, so you can do whatever you say.
