Chapter 306 – Volume 62 – Hundred Flowers (1)
“How do you feel?”
“Huh?”
“I wonder how far the world you were trying to create has come to be.”
“…It must be faster than you can imagine.”
I looked at the impressive growth figures for photo and video media and answered Rosaria slowly.
To be honest, I expected it to be fast.
I didn’t know it would be like this.
“It’s really crazy. The speed at which comics are uploaded is rather fast.”
“Still, we are somehow managing the supply.”
“Rather than that, I’m worried that some hostile noble forces are already forming.”
“Okay?”
“Yes, I heard it’s something that destroys existing culture too much. What about the value of analog?”
“That’s not wrong.”
I have thoughts on that.
I’m already talking to the publishing side.
We will be able to start service shortly.
“Really? They say digital is best.”
“Convenience is one thing, but it may be different in the situation where you collect it.”
You don’t make a reservation in advance just to get good goods.
But isn’t it true that if everything is digitized, things to keep in that area will decrease?
Therefore, we must also provide options to satisfy those desires.
“In the first place, I plan to publish comic books simultaneously, so there is no big problem. But the problem is that there are cartoonists who only work digitally, right?”
“Huh.”
“Then, now all we have to do is create a function to order small quantities at a high cost.”
If the work is really good.
Even if you pay a lot of money, you want to have a physical book.
Even if the price goes up because it is produced in small quantities rather than mass production, people will judge it to be worth purchasing.
In fact, if you think about it, the people who are complaining like this are basically nobles whose lives are stable.
In a way, I think it’s a natural part.
“Oh…”
“And if it becomes somewhat popular, we will also create a system to make and sell goods.”
“Goods?”
“Well, those are the things I usually give as pre-order gifts.”
“Oh, those are the things.”
To be honest, I feel like very few people who expected there to be a problem actually did.
Would you say that I see more positive aspects than I thought?
Well, if you think about it, it was after some time that the Internet started to become popular on Earth.
‘Even though it was an anonymous space in the beginning, they were very polite.’
I hope this culture does not deteriorate as much as possible.
Well, there is an actual class called nobility here.
Even if it’s because of the possibility of accidentally speaking to someone higher up, I’ll be careful about what I say.
“The contract-type smartphone promotion that was recently launched by the top companies was also popular.”
“Oh, you spread the price of the smartphone over two years. If you don’t repay it in between, the smartphone is taken back?”
“Yes. There are already some merchants that sell used smartphones that have been recovered like that at a low price or give them away at events.
Even if it means losing money right away from the top’s point of view.
There is nothing more important than increasing the penetration rate of smartphones.
Meanwhile, I just sat back and enjoyed the benefits.
“What are the benefits? There’s no point in making money.”
“Of course.”
Basically, it is not a business to make money.
This is a business that aims to spread computers and smartphones.
In fact, because we made a lot of compromises for that, we were able to achieve rapid development like now.
What if a smartphone was released at twice this price right now?
Honestly, could it have been this successful?
I think not.
“Oh, this week’s recommended wallpaper is this.”
“Yes, it’s a painting this time too.”
I turned on the computer and was amazed at the new wallpaper that had naturally changed.
The details that reproduce the bright scenery and the naturally cool composition naturally refresh the heart.
Recently, to push the development of photography.
A feature has been added to recommend photos that rank first in the weekly ranking of new releases as wallpapers.
Of course, what won this time was a real-life painting.
It seemed like there was already a tacit agreement that real-life paintings would compete with photos, perhaps because of the previous incident.
“But it was the photo you gave me last time, right?”
“That was really pretty.”
It was probably a photo of star trails in the night sky.
The method of capturing star trails in the medium of photography is by turning on a long exposure.
I remember receiving a lot of praise.
It’s a technique I’m quite familiar with.
Aside from that, it was a photo that stood out for its overall sophistication.
It felt good to see that photographers are also improving day by day.
“Now that I think about it, Yuria said she was recommended by Carly and said she would participate in game development. What happened?”
“Ah, that. I thought the character illustration system suited the game.”
Yuria was interested in illustrations that add vitality by moving little by little.
Rosaria recommended it to me because I thought it would be good to use as a character for a game project she is preparing.
“Why is she that girl…”
“I thought she was the most talented. No?”
“No, well. I like the picture.”
“Yuria also likes Rosaria.”
“I like him, but he always jokes around.”
Isn’t that because I like it?
In that sense, Rosalia before I found the memories of her past life.
I think she played a lot of pranks on me.
“Well, that’s… Sorry.”
“No, I said I didn’t care. Rather, my mentality was more of a problem back then.”
In those days, she honestly had her head full of things about Rika and swordsmanship.
She couldn’t pay much attention to Rosaria.
Rather, I was more jealous of her talent.
“Conveying emotions through pictures is Yuria’s specialty. Leave that to me.”
“Of course, I was told to draw a picture with this feeling. It turned out to be something that exceeded my expectations.”
“That’s Yuria.”
Of course, if you don’t like it, it can’t be helped.
Even though she says it like that, Rosaria also likes Yuria.
I don’t think she’ll throw it away or anything.
“So, how is your preparation going?”
“The video is ending. They’ll probably hit it with an advertisement.”
This is the story of an ultra-short animation made with battle scenes from the Hwashin series.
Basically, it was created by wasting time between me and a few assistants.
This is because I worked with the alpha version of the animation tool I am currently producing.
I went through quite a bit of trouble.
“Once the animation tool is completed, I will export it to promote my new work.”
Recently, things like outdoor screen billboards are popping up little by little.
The penetration rate of smartphones has also increased significantly.
If you spread advertisements here and there, many people will see this ‘animation’ in the newspaper.
Although it was produced as an advertising video.
In a way, it’s the first proper animation.
Perhaps the animation framework that will be released along with that will open up a whole new genre.
“It’s an animation… I’m sure it will be taken away from the lack of voice actors.”
Rosaria has already found some bards and actors.
We were looking for people with excellent acting skills for ‘horses’ as much as possible.
Probably for dubbing the game.
In this area, voice actor training has not been developed yet.
It is not easy to find the right people.
But now that the voice actor has a competitor…
“There’s nothing we can do about it. We’re already losing a lot to learning videos, right?”
“I’m really dying…”
“But if the market grows like this, there will be people who do it as a career or as a dream. It is inevitable for the future.”
“…I need to work harder to find it as much as possible and quickly tie it into a contract.”
“He is a vicious person.”
“Try developing a game with insufficient money, and you will understand why people become like this.”
“But.”
Although I have never developed a game.
Even just hearing the story briefly, I knew it wasn’t a simple task.
…Cheer up, Jasmine.
“So, are preparations going well for the new series to be advertised through that animation?”
“Depending on?”
The new work in the Hwashin series, ‘Hundred Flowers of Hwashin,’ is scheduled to begin serialization on the Internet.
Even though the system is in place, everyone still prefers serialization in volumes rather than online serialization.
I chose the serialized format for the purpose of fostering the serialized comics serialization system.
“Because of this, the previous work had to be cut into episodes, which was annoying.”
“Oh, now that I think about it. Unlike the other series, the Avatar series is catching up little by little with each episode.”
“Yeah, I’ll catch up with everything this week. Well, I’ve made sure to upload one episode every day, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Honestly, if I had time, I would like to release new works at that speed.
Since there was so much to do, it seemed like it would be difficult because it would take time.
The best expected speed right now is about twice a week.
“Well, I think we can double that amount if we do it quickly. Rather than that, I want to spend time improving the quality of the work.”
“In general, I think that alone would be considered fast.”
Although there hasn’t been a sequel for quite some time.
In a way, it is the work that made me who I am today.
This is a work that has been loved for a long time.
Considering that the story continues for a long time as to why a sequel to this work is not coming out right away.
To me, this work is nothing short of a cheat.
Since I was bringing something like that up, I didn’t want to draw it lightly and roughly.
“So, what is the story of this new work?”
“Do you remember? How the last Avatar Wedding ended.”
“…Hmm. Ah, it was definitely about Albedo’s sacrifice?”
“Then.”
“Ah, tattoo stickers.”
By attaching a uterus tattoo sticker.
It is a kind of participatory system that ends with the story that the curse binding Albedo can be lifted.
Because of this, numerous people have purchased uterus tattoo stickers.
“With the power that has accumulated and accumulated like that, we can finally move on to the next story.”
“No way, the animation I made this time…?”
“At the beginning, it’s a battle scene, but at the end, it’s just that.”
How could they resist the next part of the story they participated in?
