Best wishes for animation production - #590 - Chapter 586 Iron Man Ms. Endo (2)
Faced with a look of disbelief, Ms. Endo couldn’t laugh or cry.
Hashimoto Ai knew that no matter how she explained, it would be redundant.
So she decisively picked up the script on the table, stuffed it into Ms. Endo’s arms, and gently pushed her onto the beanbag.
“You’ll know after seeing it… I’m going to get you a drink. What do you want to drink?”
“Ice water.”
Ms. Endo said softly, waiting for Hashimoto Ai to leave.
She looked around Hashimoto Ai’s boudoir and found that she seemed to have nothing to do, so she finally focused on the script.
“love letter?”
Ms. Endo read the title softly, thought about it, and opened it.
Although she doesn’t really believe that Gu Xue can write a good script, she thinks it should just be a simple story based on animation ideas, and she doesn’t really believe in the words of a silly girl like Hashimoto Ai…
But it’s come and gone… then let’s take a look.
Turn to the first page of the script.
Ms. Endo was surprised after reading only two lines. It was not because of how good the script was—she had only read two lines. No matter how good the script was, she could not be surprised by just two lines.
What surprised her was the way Gu Xue wrote the script.
For example, the second line.
[On a snowy winter day, Hiroko Watanabe looked up at the sky, snowflakes falling…]
Simple description, no problem.
The problem is that next to this sentence, in a large blank space, there is a painting of a woman looking up at the sky, with snowflakes flying…
It’s wonderful, pretty, and extremely expressive.
Not just words, but images as well.
It was as if Gu Xue had already conceived the picture in her mind when she wrote the script.
Is this the way animation supervisors write scripts?
Ms. Endo admitted that she was intrigued by such a script.
At the same time, I also started to take the profession of animation supervision seriously.
She had never seen a script like this before.
…Actually, she was overthinking it. The script writers did have a sense of pictures in their minds when they wrote the script, but asking them to draw it out was simply too much.
This is Gu Xue’s unique style, and it is also her golden finger.
After all, she is the only person in this world who writes the script with the original work in mind.
But no matter what Ms. Endo thought, the final result was good, and she finally took the script written by Gu Xue seriously.
…
When Hashimoto Ai returned from pouring water.
Ms. Endo was looking down at the next page of the script.
She gently placed the water on the table.
Ms. Endo raised her head and thanked her.
After putting aside her prejudices, Ms. Endo felt that this script was quite interesting. The two heroines, Hiroko Watanabe and her dead fiancé, Itsuki Fujii, had the same name and surname. The two of them crossed paths due to letters. In the early stage, Because the identity is unknown, it still feels like watching a suspense drama.
However, although she found it interesting, she was still not so fascinated by it, so when she heard the noise, she knew that it was Hashimoto Ai who was back.
Hashimoto Ai shook her head, sat on her bed, and no longer disturbed Ms. Endo to read the script. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and chatted with Sato Ei using her social account.
On the other side, Ms. Endo watched Ai Hashimoto playing with her mobile phone, so she lowered her head and read the script again.
Just started.
She has always looked at the story in the script from the perspective of a bystander.
The pages turn quickly and the reading is not slow.
But when the heroine Fujii in the script recalled her middle school memories, her turn of pages slowly slowed down.
It often took her four or five minutes to finish reading a page.
On every page of the script, in the blank space on the right side, there are scenes from the original movie drawn by Gu Xue.
It’s both a script and a comic.
Ms. Endo slowly immersed herself in it.
When Hiroko suspected that she was a substitute, she frowned and thought Fujii was a scumbag.
When she saw the young Fujii tree standing on the window sill, her frown was slowly smoothed away.
She smiled knowingly when she saw the male protagonist Fujii Shu riding a bicycle and putting a sack on the head of the female protagonist Fujii Shu in middle school.
When the heroine Fujii Shu developed a high fever, her grandfather insisted on carrying his granddaughter to the hospital. Faced with the dissuasion of his daughter-in-law, the grandfather said that it only took 40 minutes to carry him to the hospital, but the ambulance took an hour. Ms. Fuji bit her lower lip lightly.
Page, page, and page.
The thick script is about to bottom out as it is being turned over.
At first, Hashimoto Ai was actually confused as to why the script was so thick, but after reading it, she understood.
Because there are a lot of ‘illustrations’ in it.
And these illustrations make the whole story seem to be happening right in front of you.
The story of “Love Letter” is coming to an end.
Turn the page again.
Hiroko stepped on the snow and ran into the distance. Looking into the distance, in the direction where her fiancé died, she shouted: “How are you? I’m fine.”
On the other side, the heroine Fujii Shu, who has the same name as Hiroko’s fiancé, woke up in the hospital bed, as if she was still sleeping, and murmured: “Dear Fujii Shu, how are you? I’m fine.”
Ms. Endo’s eyes turned red.
Turn the page again.
Another page turned.
the last page.
Ms. Endo looked at the last page.
stunned.
on the last page.
It is written that the female protagonist Fujii’s schoolmate found her with the book that the male protagonist Fujii asked him to return. She said that there was a major discovery on the back of the library card.
The heroine Fujii opened the book and found the library card. She turned to the back of the card and found a painting on it.
What is painted on it…is her when she was young.
And to the right of the text, there is a large blank space.
The scene described in the painting.
The heroine Fujii Shu opened the library card and saw her young self drawn on the library card.
It was like a knowing blow.
Ms. Endo looked at the scene as if she were right in front of her because of the extremely delicate painting power.
As if struck by lightning, he was stunned.
After a while.
Snap.
Tears dripped onto the paper and smeared on the paper.
Hashimoto Ai on the bed ended her chat with Sato Ei and looked up.
I found Ms. Endo holding the script with tears streaming down her face. She didn’t even notice the tears falling on the paper.
“Sister Endo…”
Hashimoto Ai jumped out of bed immediately, a little panicked.
And Ms. Endo, because of Hashimoto Ai’s voice, instantly came back to her senses and realized her embarrassment with tears streaming down her face.
“Sister Endo, you didn’t…”
“I’m fine…”
Ms. Endo quickly raised her arm and wiped the tears on her cheeks. After noticing Hashimoto Ai approaching, she raised her other arm to signal her not to come.
Hashimoto Ai slowly stopped.
Ms. Endo turned around silently, her back to Ai Hashimoto, and raised her hand to continue wiping the remaining tears on her face.
In her mind, she is Hashimoto Ai’s elder, so she doesn’t want Hashimoto Ai to see her lose her composure.
In fact, if she had noticed it earlier, Ms. Endo would have left Hashimoto Ai’s room.
But she was immersed in the story, and the last scene came so suddenly…and violently. She was defeated in an instant, and she stayed where she was.
“Sorry, I lost my temper…”
Almost ten minutes later.
Ms. Endo, who finally wiped away the tears on her face, turned around, sniffed and said hoarsely.
“fine……”
Hashimoto Ai shook her head and looked at Ms. Endo. She looked calm, but in fact she was panicking to death.
She has followed Ms. Endo since she was a child, and has never seen her cry for more than ten years. She has always felt that Ms. Endo is an iron man.
But now, she cried while reading the script…
