Miao Sen replied hesitantly: "As for the meaning of production, I have no idea at all..."

Director Kinoshita: "There is no particular reason, but I always feel like I can't give up. Why is that?"

Screenwriter Maitake: "It's the same for me. I didn't think about big things like meaning at all. I just wanted to meet tomorrow's deadline, and as a result, decades passed in a flash."

Watanabe p: "Well, to put it bluntly, it's just for living, but in this case you can choose other jobs. Why would you choose to do this kind of job?"

Producer Katsuragi: "I want to inspire those who watch, and I also want to inspire myself through production. Of course, I also want to make a lot of money, but it would be too boring just to do this. Things like animation, The investment efficiency is even worse than stocks.”

Xiaolu: "For me, I think it's because I need stories. I want to appreciate stories and create stories."

Ando Production: "I guess there is no other reason other than 'like'."

Lost Wild Productions: "Because isn't it fun? This industry is full of weirdos."

Yamada said: "The reason why I want to make animation is to confirm whether I really exist here. Isn't that what living is all about?"

Yuan Hong acted: "What should I say... I am producing the current work because I want to make the next work."

Sato Production: "I haven't thought about it carefully, but I think it might be because I like it. I like the atmosphere of the company. Like this, it feels like everyone is united and working hard to complete the work."

"Is this what you call self-expression?"

“I have to finally make the work I want to see!”

"I want to create animated Hollywood in China! One day I want to be independent!"

"When I was a child, I liked colors very much..."

“I just keep doing what I love.

"

“The more I do it, the more interesting it becomes, and I can’t stop!”

"There is always a 10-year-old boy living in my heart!"

This is the group portrait about dreams in "Shirobako". A group of staff who love animation use the words of the characters in the play to express various meanings about their work in the animation industry. Among them are confused dreams, tireless dreams, and supporting a family. There are dreams of life, there are dreams that fail midway, there are dreams of changing one's ways, there are dreams of newborn calves not afraid of tigers, there are dreams of twists and turns, there are dreams of success in the end, there is no one shrouding the halo of the protagonist and picking up plug-ins at will. Xingchen, all staff are ordinary people, engaged in ordinary jobs. Some of them persist, and some give up. Various dream forms are intertwined, making the topic of "dream" in "Shirobako" very close to life. Reality.

So "Third Flying Girl" added a part of the plot to make the story and characters more fleshed out, and added a character's voiceover... Shizuka was chosen.

"Excuse me, I'm Shizuka, who voices Lucy! Please give me some advice!"

Additional recording, when the dubbing comes, I will first go to the recording studio to say hello to the animation team.

Hearing this familiar voice, Miaomori, who was about to sit down, froze in mid-air. She raised her head and suddenly looked at the door, her mouth slightly opened in surprise. At the door is her good friend, Shizuka!

The director told Shizuka that he needed some effects for her performance. After Shizuka took note of it, she went to the recording studio. Before she closed the door, she looked at Miaomori and nodded with a faint smile.

Miao Sen also nodded to her, neither of them said anything.

Miaomori's eyes were always fixed on Shizuka.

"Excuse me, are you really Aria? As my sister often said, I am Catherine's sister, and my name is Lucy! Why are you here?"

"I came to see the calf."

"calf?"

"I have an agreement with Catherine."

"Then please come here. Although my sister has gone far away, I still stay here."

"Why?"

"In the world you fight to protect, I want to raise many, many calves!"

"The world we fight to protect?"

"This is something I can do, this is my dream...Miss Aria?"

"I want to go back... to protect all of this!"

"Thank you, Miss Aria...I am now one step closer to my dream!"

This is the line of the character voiced by Shizuka, and is this not what Shizuka wants to say? Although Luci is only a small character, a supporting role added in the final episode, for her, this is the first character she has voiced, and it is a sign that she has finally embarked on the journey to pursue her dreams!

All the hard work has finally paid off!

A pun.

At that moment, those words were Shizuka's ravings filled with her own emotions and true dreams!

Miao Sen's eyes were sparkling with tears, his shoulders were trembling, and his lips were tightly closed. She was so happy that she wanted to cry loudly for her good friend!

"The Third Flying Girl" Meowamori is the production director, Ema Angel is the painter, Misa is the 3D producer, Midori is the setting and script, and Shizuka is the dubbing!

In this work, five of them participated in the production together!

This work carries their dreams and hopes!

"Thank you very much!"

When the recording ended, Shizuka turned around, bowed and thanked everyone, and through the glass, Shizuka and Miaomori looked at each other.

Shizuka smiled.

There were tears in Miao Sen's eyes, and his expression was very panicked. He raised his hand and covered his face with the script in his hand. He covered his mouth with his other hand, but he couldn't cover his trembling shoulders and The gurgling tears of excitement.

Seeing this scene, Ye Jun's tears also flowed down. The scene of chasing his dream deeply moved him. Wasn't he once such a person?

Qiu Yun touched her tears and kept saying: "It's so good, so good..."

"Yes." Gao Yang hugged his wife and sighed with tears in his eyes.

Yi Jingshuo's eyes were red, Mamizi cried into tears, He Chen rubbed his eyes and suppressed the water that had come out.

His dream is one step closer.

If the heart is there, the dream is there, and there is true love between heaven and earth!

He loves this world!

…

"Shirobako" itself is also in tune with its drama-within-a-drama, What is the Meaning of Flying? That is, what is the point of making animation?

Although the five people did not work together to complete their dream of "The Seven Lucky Gods Confused by Gods and Buddhas", they each found their own animation in the ups and downs of work, that is, the meaning and motivation to pursue their dreams - the five people in the fan club worked together in the dead of night Looking up at the sky, I see the treasure ship on the other side of my dream shining brightly towards me. The Seven Gods of Luck in my heart are waving to everyone eagerly on the treasure ship. Although they are far away, they are within reach - compared to finally completing " "Seven Lucky Gods" makes everyone happy, but this slightly sad ending actually makes it more meaningful. It is also a unique finishing touch.

The ending of "Shirobako" is not passionate, not tragic, has no aura of the protagonist and no bonus of BGM. Many people will find it too bland and tasteless, but in fact, the five female protagonists stand under the starry sky persistently and eagerly. The last frame of looking into the distance is like a cup of tea with a long aftertaste, like a symphonic poem about modern heroes. The more you taste it, the more mellow it becomes, and the more you recall it, the more touching it becomes.

In addition to the protagonist, many supporting characters who enrich the theme of the series are also impressive.

Director Kinoshita, who is full of enthusiasm but always crazy about the progress, Director Honda who finally embarked on the road of dreaming of opening a cake shop, Mr. Suie, who is still sitting at his desk in the corner of the stage in his late 70s, writing endlessly, and the funny and charming characters are compared to yellow hair and blond hair. A pair of enemies, a Lolita with twin tails and a poisonous tongue, a Gothic Lolita with a strong presence and intimidation, a harmless-looking president who likes cooking, Hiraoka who drifts away after his dreams are exposed by reality, extremely poor at communicating but eager to Progressive original animator Kuno...

There are many characters in "Shirobako", but there are very few characters with facial makeup. This is also due to the unpopular theme of workplace animation. The staff who appear are all flesh-and-blood, full-bodied and unforgettable, plus the five protagonists The intertwined and advancing main lines make it a true group drama.

Yang Ling, the editor-in-chief of Inspur News, finally left these words after reading it.

""Shirobako" is a workplace-themed group drama about dreams, which seamlessly integrates the original documentary content with the theme of workplace and dreams. Each episode releases huge information in the fast-paced plot and dialogue. It advances multiple plot lines with multiple protagonists and multiple themes in an orderly manner. In introducing animation production, it is not as boring as a documentary; in depicting daily work and life in the workplace, it does not become a boring daily film; in highlighting the protagonists There is no pretentiousness of the protagonist's halo on the dream. The entire animation can depict the animation dream while naturally plugging the work assembly line into this "white box". It is inspirational but not artificial, popular science but not boring, bright and concise, and flesh-and-blood. It is a good animation in an absolute sense that is remarkable in terms of subject matter selection, story structure, plot appeal, character portrayal, and hardware level. It is an epic that the Big Devil himself pays tribute to all animation practitioners, and it is regarded as worthy of recognition. It’s no exaggeration to call it a perfect realistic masterpiece!” r1152
